PER USTREAM CHAT "Gone" by Matthew Nathanson & "Elevator Beat" by Nancy Wilson

As requested, I'm posting my song suggestion here. This for New Moon when Edward leaves. The first one is "Gone" by Matthew Nathanson and I think it really speaks from Edward's position. How badly he wants things to work out, but how they can't. How when he leaves it will be as if he had never existed ("let it wash away all the best I had....and when I disappear, don't expect me back"). It's full of sadness and longing, even in the guitar.

Quote :

Love,
I'm aching to believe
Give me something real enough
Give me somewhere to fall from

'cause in the dark
I can't find my feet
Built my world on promises
Colorless and cold

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
Gone, let it wash away the best I had
Gone, and when I disappear
Don't expect me back, don't expect me back

Lost, sweetest things get lost
In the static far away
Painted pictures of you
I fold
Don't want to be holy then
Don't want to be sold again
The way I was with you

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
Gone let it wash away the best I had
Gone and when I disappear
Don't expect me back, don't expect me back

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
Gone, let it wash away
The best I had
Gone, and when I disappear
Don't expect me back
Don't expect me back

At its worse the heart is sober
At its worse the heart is cold, cold, cold

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
Gone, let it wash away all the best I had
Gone, and when I disappear
Don't expect me, don't expect me back

Gone, let it wash away
The best I had
Gone, and when I disappear
Don't expect me back
Don't expect me back
Don't expect me back

My next suggestion is actually a piece, not a song. Even without lyrics, I feel like it really evokes that moment of heart break Bella experiences while Edward walks away and she lays on the forest floor. And afterward...I can really imagine this playing in her head for all those blank months.
"Elevator Beat" by Nancy Wilson

It's the kind of music that is very sad, but also reflective. Like you're stuck in that moment of pain, and you keep digging at the wound by looking back on all these memories, which just makes it worse.
