If only we were so lucky as Lykke Li, the Swedish pop singer whose song "Possibility" was selected to be on the "New Moon" soundtrack. Not only will she forever be associated with one of the biggest franchises of the new millennium, but she got to see the movie before she decided to write the song.
"Everyone kept asking me if I wanted to do it, how [the song] was going, when would I have it finished, and I was like, 'Eh, I don't know, maybe I'll do it, maybe I won't,' " she told MTV. "I stayed [in Los Angeles] and watched the movie, when it only had green screen on it. I had this hook in my mind, even before I saw the movie, and then I was watching it, and I was like, 'That's the hook!'"
Like the songs off her 2008 album, Youth Novels, "Possibility" will deal with the "Twilight"-esque themes of love, pain and death. In a recent interview with MTV, she shared some of the lyrics in the song.
"It's really serious, because, if you're really, really in love, and somebody leaves you, that's a very serious thing," Lykke said. "And so the lyrics are like, 'When you walk, you walk like a thief with blood on your hands, because I die when you leave me.' [.] It's dark."
In the years since she became a star, Lykke proved she was a different caste of singer than the rest, and with her reasoning for submitting a song for "New Moon" was no different
"We've been feeding people such sh--. Why can't we feed them good things? I really thought about that too," she said. "Because I know Robert Pattinson is this big teen idol, but I remember watching 'Romeo + Juliet' with Leonardo DiCaprio, and I was, like, in love. I cried, like, five times. And the soundtrack to that movie is so good, you know? Really well-chosen songs. Not commercial. I think it's great, and hopefully we can do that again."
