I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough? - Enough for forever.

Song list with my comments:
1. Jewel – "Standing Still"
This is Bella’s very first day in Forks. She’s alone in her old bedroom, depressed, fighting the tears.
2. Incubus – "Circles"
It's the van accident soundtrack. Picture also Bella arriving at the hospital
3. DJ Z-Trip feat. Chester Bennington – "Walking Dead"
This song represents the overall feeling in a hotel room where Bella is stuck with Jasper and Alice, waiting for things to happen.
4. The Cardigans – "And Then You Kissed Me"
This song is my ultimate soundtrack for the meadow scene – when Bella and Edward are touching each other, experiencing the power of love for the first time. It’s a quiet song, kind of low-key, but very passionate at the same time, which is exactly how I feel about that scene in the book. It makes you feel like you are the only two people in the whole world.
5. Skillet – "My Obsession"
It's a James theme, a song about his obsession and bloodlust.
6. Toad the Wet Sprocket - "Whatever I Fear"
Bella arrives to the school on her first day; she’s shy and uncomfortable and hates that everybody’s staring at her.
7. Kelly Clarkson – "Addicted"
This is when Edward and Bella are watching a movie in their biology class – that scene is so filled with the sexual tension, it's one of my favorites. This song gives me almost the same feelings.
8. Within Temptation – "All I Need"
The prom scene, when Bella asks Edward to change her, but he refuses and only kisses her neck instead. It's the final scene of the book after which I named this fanmix:
"I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isnt that enough?"
"Yes, it enough," he answered, smiling. "Enough for forever."
9. A Perfect Circle - "Passive"
Bella sits in a taxi, going to James. I think it’s a perfect “numb” song for representing Bella’s feelings, even if the lyrics is not quite accurate
10. Evanescence – "Bleed"
Bella's first dream about Edward (and Jacob, for that matter).
11. AFI - "The Leaving Song"
The time when Jasper is driving Bella away from Forks; she's crying silently in the back seat, her head resting on Alice’s shoulder.
12. Linkin Park - "With You"
I’ve always imagined that the CD Phil had given Bella which she’d been listening lying on her bed was by Linkin Park, because it’s my favorite band and it fits the description in the book perfectly – there’s a lot of screaming and it’s a bit tough, but once you listen more carefully you notice that there’s much more to it. It was later that I found out that this is one of Stephenie Meyer’s fave bands, too. I had a hard time picking a song by LP for this fanmix, because I love them all and so many of them seem perfect! but “With You” is a very special song and has lyrics that can be interpreted in many ways, so I chose it for my mix.
13. Yiruma - "River Flows In You"
I haven't picked this song as Bella's lullaby - some person on YouTube did; so I'm not taking credit for it. I found it a couple of months ago, loved it and now decided to include in my fanmix. Because honestly, I don't like the original lullaby by Carter Burwell - it's too simple, and in the book the music Edward wrote for Bella is described as a very complicated melody. This is why "River Flows In You" is my perfect lullaby.
