    I loved this!!! Beautiful song, lyrics and all, and the imagery in the video is a haunting and beautiful tribute to this extraordinary saga. Brava to CP for such a hauntingly gorgeous and emotional song. Best Ive heard yet from soundtrack offerings. :)

    If it was possible to break the replay button I would have. This song brings me to tears every time. Its absolutely beautiful. I hope its the walking down the isle song, but wherever its placed, I know it’ll fit in perfectly. Great job, Christina!

    definitely thought of Bella’s walk down the aisle as soon as the song began.  It is amazingly beautiful.  I love it!!!!

  • Emilykp95

    I think its going to be during their first dance at the wedding :)

    AAAAWWWWEEEESOME Video! I cant guess, cause it could be anywhere with Edward & Bella.

  • jite4vanquish

    That would be a cool way to end the movie…..bella is burning but concentrating on all of the wonderful parts of Edward and Bella and us seeing all of these scenes from all of the movies. All the while, this song playing in the background. That would be awesome!

  • jite4vanquish

    I predict you are right!

  • jite4vanquish

    Absolutely!

  • Woody

    As soon as I heard this, all I could think of was Edward waiting for Bella as she comes through the transformation. Where ever this was written for it will be compelling and oh so beautiful. Simply can’t wait for this movie, think Ms. Perri has written the most beautiful song and will buy this CD as soon as it hits the stores. LOVE IT!!!!!

  • Hannah Celli

    This song has been on replay all day on my ipod, computer, everywhere! So pretty, I started crying!

  • Kimberly

    This has a wedding march feel to it ;)

  • Liz

    i believe that’s a fact i’m not sure but in the official soundtrack page ( http://breakingdawnthesoundtrack.com/page/2/ ) is a image of the tracks and it’s says (wedding version) so i think that means something dont you?

  • http://twitter.com/rockabillygata Ash McPerk

    I agree!  That video almost made me cry… from the book imagery and also how perfect it is for the film and the series as a whole.  I can’t wait to see where this is used.  This song (plus Sister Rosetta – the song from when Bella shaves her legs on the honeymoon) are my two favorites.  I can’t wait to hear the Flightless Bird, American Mouth remix.  I’m going to need suck a box of tissues in the theatre!!!

  • A Thousand Years

    Honeymoon.
    Heart Beats Fast
    “I had to check my skin hadnt burst into flames”

    Colours and promises
    “White on white. We matched, for once. ‘I promised we would try’ He whispered, suddenly tense.”

    How to be brave?
    “I took another step through the waves and leaned my head on his chest ‘Dont be afraid, we belong together.’”

    How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
    “And I wasnt freaking out because I thought we were making a mistake. Not at all. I was freaking out because I had no idea how to do this”

    Watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
    “He wasnt hard to find. He stood, his back to mee, waist dep in the midnight water, staring up at the oval moon.” “The fire was no longer deep now, it smoldered away all my awkwardness, my shy uncertainty”

    One Step Closer.
    “I took another step through the waves and leaned my head against his chest, ‘Dont be afraid…We belong together’ ‘Forever’ ”

    But this could be the Wedding scene too, or when she’s one step closer in her pregnancy to dying and shes thinking to Edward, I’ll love you for a thousant more.

  • A Thousand Years

    No thats Flightless Bird – Wedding Cover by Iron and Wine

  • Liz

    i’d learned that the lyrics are not important to were the song fit’s so it’s hard to guess but i dont think i’ll be on the wedding i think somewere on the honeymoon..

    btw did someone notice a girl opening her eye? in the sec 2:54 it’s kind of red and gold and her brown hair representing bella’s transformation.. maybe thats a hint to what the songs really means and were it’ll fit jaja

  • ifonly2011

    Cool hadn’t thought of that!!!

  • http://twitter.com/edwardlovesjec Jerica dela Cruz

    I Think it will be on the wedding, or anywehre from there to the honeymoon

  • http://twitter.com/itsjustky Kyla

    This may be my new favorite soundtrack song. IT’s beautiful alone, but for Twifans it’s breathtaking! Love love love it. And I can see it showing B,E, AND J during the wedding OR maybe even the BIRTH scene? Could this be about possibly losing Bella and gaining Renesmee? Hmmm….

  • http://twitter.com/itsjustky Kyla

    Um…imprinting song maybe? MAKES SENSE TOO! We’ll have to wait and see! 

  • Meljamblack

    Very true, but the soundtrack also has flightless bird, American mouth, wedding edition.. which I imagine will be during the wedding.

  • twical

    Ok it’s definetely an edward and bella song and it could fit in a lot of scenes,but I can imagine it playing in the backround when bella starts walking down the aisle then stop while the actual ceremony begins and vows from Edward and Bella are exchanged and then start playing again when they are married and it’s over and everyone starts clapping. Kind of like in Eclipse in the scene where Edward and Bella almost had sex and there was this song (I cant’d remember its name) playing in the backround then stops when Edward proposes to Bella and it’s silent and then starts playing again when she says yes and he hugs her…I think it would be a nice idea anyway!

  • Ray_denise03

    this will be the song for their first dance together…..or for the love scenes…..

  • Pisha84

    Beautiful song, Beautiful clip… I LOVE IT ! Wow I cry ^^ !

  • 123

    of course this soundtrack will be during the wedding ceremony – its is obvious )))) 

  • Seif

    I love that the four symbols were in there; the ribbon, the (was it a tulip? Duno, but it was purposeful) rose? The chess pieces, and the red ribbon/silk bedsheets haha ;P
    I don’t know if this will be the aisle walk song or if part of ‘It Will Rain’ will be… perhaps they’ll both be in the CREDITS??? Gah I can’t wait any longer!!!

  • Seif

    I place my bet on you, Sir. (Ma’am?)

  • Seif

    EJ’s COMMENT! PERFECT! “i reckon when bellas transforming into a vampire like if she remembers”

  • Cda318

    i absolutely love the song and christina perri!! i love how whoever made this video incorporated the chess, like on the cover of Breaking Dawn…hopefully thats not just ironic (:  

  • Kerri

    Yes, deff. down the aisle, did u guys notice all of the covers! haha this song is beautiful, i could also see it during honeymoon or maybe at sometime with jake, or when edward hears the baby???

  • Anonymous

    Do you think this might become part of the ‘theme’, like how “Eclipse(I’m all yours” was essentially built into the score? I’m with everyone else. My first thought before reading any comments was using this as the wedding march song. It’s pretty much perfect. And I love the traditional march, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if this was used! Good job Christina Perry! :)

  • Viktoria_alejandra

    wow……………. love it <3 <3 

  • Racheal M14

    i think it will be one of the end credit sonds 

  • Anonymous

    Oh that’s an interesting thought! Maybe…it’ll be funny to see how they do the imprinting on screen…Jacob and that baby..rofl…I can imagine Rob standing behind the scenes and giggling at Taylor doing this scene.

  • Anonymous

    WOW! I’m Deaf and so I’m totally FEELING it! They lyrics, the symbols from the book series… simply omg!

  • Louise

    I believe this song is perfect for the honeymoon scene or maybe after her transformation. Perfectly playing when Edward and Bella embrace for the first time after the transformation..

  • Anonymous

    Flightless bird, American mouth, wedding edition..  will most likely be during the wedding… I’m thinking the most appropriate placement for this would be their “first time”…  The red fabric, the chess pieces, the apple, the flower, the words the drops of blood… the red sheets moving at a “certain pace”….   I can’t imagine anyone here wouldn’t see the Twi references immediately.

  • amber

    i keep listening to this and i could see it with her walking down the isle, but i think that this song would be perfect for when she’s in transformation… def flashback looking through the fog of memories and all she sees is edward and he’s telling her not to give up… omg i can picture it i love it… cause she’s just one step closer to being with him forever… gah hurry up november!

  • sara

    Beautiful song. All her songs are.  Lyrics are perfect for the movie.

    gettin hyperventilated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wanna WATCH BREAKING DAWN RIGHT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!eekssss

  • Kyleigh

    I think it will be when Bella is turning into a vampire from like Edwards perspective “Ive love you for a thousand years” sounds like something they would play for that

  • Anonymous

    I thought it would be for the wedding too, or on the honeymoon when Bella walks into the water, with Edward waiting for her. It could work there as well.  But, where ever they put it ,it will be beautiful. Can’t wait.

  • Elizabeth

    This sounds like the wedding reception or the first dance or when they drive off to the honeymoon. It is definitely a wedding song. I want it to be my wedding song. 

  • Anonymous

    Ok.. new thoughts… see who agrees… This will be played for their “first time”.   Wedding version of American Mouth will be their first dance, as a nod to Twilight.
