As you know, Metric is the band responsible for "Eclipse (All Yours)" from the official soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The song itself appeared first on the final credits for the film, but the melody became a big part of the official score for the film (by Howard Shore).
You might recall that Shore chose to work with Metric for this endeavor.
According to the band's most recent interview with Scene Louisiana, this was a great honor for them because while they've appeared on other film and TV soundtracks - including Zomebieland, Grey's Anatomy, and even the recent Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - this was their first time serving as a composer for a feature film. Here's what Emily Haines had to say:
"We wrote the theme song for the Twilight movie with Howard Shore, the composer . . . The end of the movie is our song, written with him. He came to us saying, ‘Will you write a song with me?’ We needed to write the theme that culminates at the end of the movie, and then throughout the whole movie, you can hear that he took our melody that we wrote, and he has the strings playing it like seven times.It was really nice to learn from him how the process works in composing. A very preliminary sort of glimpse, but that’s been exciting for me . . . It’s always flattering when people ask you to do songs in a soundtrack, but it’s wholly another level when they ask you to write the score. That’s definitely something we’re interested in doing more of."Metric's first album came out in 2003, so they've definitely been doing this for a while. Isn't it nice to hear that Eclipse opened a new door for the group?
