The folks at Edward’s Meadow who each year put on the Twilight Battle of the Bands contest have a music video they put together featuring Florence and the Machine’s Heavy In Your Arms. Itcovers the whole saga, not just one book or movie.
Here is a news wrap about Twilight series soundtrack.

There have been a few fantastic updates in the way of Twilight series soundtrack musicians.
For starters, Twilight soundtrack co-contributor ("Let Me Sign" co-writer) Bobby Long recently played his music (song title: "Penance Fire Blues") on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
The video from that performance is attached in the sidebar. Long has
been receiving a lot of attention for the release of his first proper
album, A Winter's Tale, including a write-up in the Wall Street Journal. You can find out more about what Bobby Long has going on here
Next up, Cee-Lo Green ("What Part of Forever" on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's
official soundtrack) will be performing at the Grammys. Green is
nominated in several categories for his controversial (but awesome)
title "F--- You." Gwenyth Paltrow will be performing with him. In
January, he went on SNL during her show, and she also took his song to Glee. Note: For widespread purposes, it's called "Forget You." Videos from both of those are below.
Also appearing at the Grammys will be Muse (responsible for Twilight's "Supermassive Black Hole," New Moon's "I Belong to You," and Eclipse's "Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)"). Muse is also nominated.
The Grammys will be shown February 13th at 8:00 p.m. on CBS. As a reminder, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's
soundtrack is nominated for a Grammy for "Best Compilation Soundtrack
Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media." Other Twilight
soundtrack artists which are nominated include Florence + the Machine,
The Black Keys, Paramore, Band of Horses, and Vampire Weekend.
Finally, Florence + The Machine ("Heavy in Your Arms" from the Eclipse soundtrack) has been announced as a presenter for this year's Academy Awards ceremony. Note that Alexandre Desplat, composer for the New Moon score, is nominated for Best Original Score for his work on The King's Speech. The Oscars air on February 27th.
Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine) has spoken up about the meaning of her The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack contribution, "Heavy in Your Arms." Thanks to our Elite Affiliate Twi Examiner for the tip! Source Via @twiexaminer.
" 'Heavy In Your Arms' I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. . . . I felt this was a strong theme in theTwilight series - is someone being rescued or are they being condemned, and is the love you carry bringing you down? . . . I recorded it using a lot of strange reversed vocal samples and big hip hop piano. It's basically inspired by 90's hip hop and gospel choirs, like most of my songs."
Marc Malken of E! talked to Florence Welch of the VMA nominated band Florence + the Machine about her Twilight feelings. Florence + the Machine appear on the Eclipse Soundtrack with Heavy in Your Arms.:
“Are you Twilight fan?
When I was on tour, I got into the books. Then me and my little sister got into them together. Two Christmases ago, we had the last book but we only had one between us…In the middle of the night we would be reading it to each other. And then we’d fall asleep and she’d be like, “Don’t read ahead of me!”
Team Edward or Team Jacob?
I felt really bad for Jacob in the film. I really wanted him to kiss her. But I do think Edward is pretty hot.
Do you mean Edward or Robert Pattinson?
I haven’t met Robert Pattinson in person—but I think I quite like the whole fantasy of Edward.”
You all know which date today is, don't you? Exactly: It's the birthday of our lovely Isabella Marie Swan *squee*
As a little birthday present (I'm not quite sure if you can call it a present - lol) we'd like to show you the music video of the song "Heavy In Your Arms" by Florence and The Machine which is from the Eclipse Soundtrack.
