In fairness, however, Hardwicke said she can't commit to Pattinson's song until he presents her with the finished product. So, that would be my favorite. Would you like to see Robert sing his original song as the lullaby? I don't think even some of the entertainment who were making the film really knew the depth of eagerness that this audience had for the film.
I think the last book, I'm not sure when it came out, but it was around the time that we were making the film and the phenomenon was growing the entire time. Back when I went to visit Catherine in Portland, she had just gotten a memo from Summit [Entertainment] saying that they wanted to add a scene to the movie that wasn't in the script. It was the scene in which Edward plays piano for Bella.
And that's, of course, "Bella's Lullaby," [which] is what he calls it in the books. But it hadn't been in the screenplay because it just wasn't important to the story. However, Summit was following what people were saying on blogs, the fans and people were eagerly wondering, What music are they going to use for "Bella's Lullaby"!?
What is it going to be!? And so Summit began to realize that this was an important opportunity that they couldn't miss.
So they went ahead and shot a scene—although the music, of course, had not been written—with Rob sitting at the piano with Kristin. Then later, when I had written "Bella's Lullaby," they actually played the piano so his fingers would match the piece.
I guess that was just an example of how Summit was becoming aware of this growing anticipation for the film and even for the soundtrack. You made "Bella's Lullaby" before you were requested to compose it, and it was about your now-wife. Has the meaning of the song changed for you at all over the past 10 years? It hasn't changed for me, but, of course, it became something different. Something that's out of my hands and goes out into the world, it does become a bit different just in the sense that it now means something to all these other people, too.
But for me, no it hasn't changed at all. I think it's interesting because the soundtrack features everyone from Paramore to Linkin Park, yet this instrumental song is what really, to borrow a phrase from the book, "imprinted" on a bunch of teenagers. Did you expect it to resonate as much as it did? I was surprised. It's not because I didn't think people would like that piece of music, but of all the films I had done, I had never gotten that direct response from fans.
It's not typically like that being a film composer [ laughs ]. I'm very happy being sort of hidden from view and usually prefer to not even get involved in that relationship with these people I don't really know, I'm just a private person. But in the case of Twilight, there were so many e-mails, I mean thousands, from people who were mostly young and very sincere and they really wanted to know how to play "Bella's Lullaby" and things like that.
I did try to answer them because I did feel like these people were serious and because the music means this thing to them. I read the backstory that you wrote on your website a couple years ago about the song, and you mention a disagreement with one of the executives of the movie who I believe wanted to change the opening note.
