As you might have heard from my tweets, I’ve been listening to the New Moon soundtrack – you know, the one that features original songs from Bon Iver, Thom Yorke, Death Cab for Cutie, Lykki Li, Grizzly Bear, etc… One track has really stood out for me, and I’ve had it on continual repeat. It’s called ‘No Sound But The Wind’, and it’s by The Editors. It’s a chilling piano ballad, which frankly –  sounds like it’s come straight out of an Andrew Llyod Webber play. Having said that, it really is an amazing song. Call is cheesy if you want, but bear in mind that it was actually written for a film – a film about teenage vampires (‘Our blood is cold and we’re alone/but I’m alone with you’). I’ll say it now, this song will be a true contender with Karen O’s ‘All Is Love‘ for the Oscar category of best song.

You can listen to the song on their MySpace page, or if you live in Europe you can Spotify it up.

Lyrics, o’ so beautiful lyrics:

We can never go home
We no longer have one
I’ll help you carry the load
I’ll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crazy moon above us
Our blood is cold and we’re alone
But I’m alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it light together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your heads
They will stay here forever
Our blood is cold and we’re alone
But I’m alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it light together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it light together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light up our way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
Where I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it light together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever
