Christina Perri
A big fan of “Twilight” series, Perri shared the creative process of writing the soundtrack,
“I wrote [the song] for Edward and Bella in their perspective.” She added, “It's the purest love song I think I could have possibly written. It's about the simplest kind of love and a timeless love.”
She furthermore explained her love for the romantic drama.
“For me, it just has to do most with the love story between Edward and Bella. I feel like it's ‘Romeo and Juliet,' and they just happen to be vampires and there's werewolves. I loved the story from day one,”
she gushed.
Landing a spot on the soundtrack album is like a dream came true for Perri.
“[It] still blows my mind, and I don't think I've fully processed it yet, even though we're on the set of the music video,” she said. “I feel like maybe when we're at the premiere and I see it in the movie is when it'll really hit me because it just seems so dream-like. I feel so honored. It feels really epic.”
Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 1 is due in theaters November 18th, 2011. Part 2 on November 16th, 2012.
