One of our readers here at The Host Movie News came up with the suggestion of starting a post about the soundtrack. Given how popular the Twilight soundtracks are, I am going to assume The Host soundtrack may be as well. Like with all of the Twilight books, Stephenie Meyer has a playlist for each of them. She has one for The Host as well. Below are her picks.
1. Soul Meets Body — Death Cab for Cutie
2. Papercut — Linkin Park
3. Futurism — Muse
4. I Wasn’t Prepared — Eisley
5. Walking After You — Foo Fighters
6. Down In It — Nine Inch Nails
7. Blood — Editors
8. Pts. of Athrty — Linkin Park
9. Fortress Around Your Heart — Sting
10. The Ghost of You — My Chemical Romance
11. Because I Want You — Placebo
12. Stockholm Syndrome — Muse
13. As You Are — Travis
14. Smile Like You Mean It — The Killers
15. Don’t Stay — Linkin Park
16. Just Like You — Three Days Grace
17. Consolation Prizes — Phoenix
18. My Name Is Love — Rob Dickinson
19. The Hand That Feeds — Nine Inch Nails
20. My Body is a Cage — Arcade Fire
21. Rescued — Jack’s Mannequin
22. Original of the Species — U2
23. The Last Song — All-American Rejects
24. Beautiful Day — U2
The soundtrack will probably end up being chosen after the film is shot, but I am sure you all have some opinions on songs that fit the mood of the book. Comment on this post to suggest a great song and/or artist you would like to see in the film and on the soundtrack.
I did receive an email from an artist who loves The Host and wrote a song based on the book. Her name is Czarina and her song is called “My Soul.” The song is below.
