Lykke Li - "Possibility"

Today at work, we listened to the soundtrack to New Moon, the second installment of the Twilight series. While the soundtrack to the first film focused more on emo and post grunge, both New Moon and Eclipse turned their focus to more indie oriented artists. While Muse unleashes their usual brand of terrible post prog sludge to all three, the majority of the second and third soundtracks showcase some very good tunes. Most particularly is the haunting Lykke Li ballad, "Possibility". While its presence on the album feels a bit too early, creaking along at track four, the song is a beautiful walk through gothic imagery and smokey vibes. Most fitting is its accompanying video, shot in black and white with dramatic lighting, it is the perfect compliment to the soul searching song. Here is a link to the video.
