I don't really understand the question. It doesn't really make sense.

The New Moon soundtrack, or any soundtack, for that matter, is a collection of lyrical songs that sort of fit with the scene it's put with.

I'll use Meet Me on the Equinox, by Death Cab for Cutie, for an example since it's the "main" song for New Moon just like "Decode" was for Twilight. Meet Me on the Equinoxwas put in the credits at the end of the movie. If you listen closely to the words, you'll understand that the lyrics say what the movie is about. I'm not going to go through every single song, but I'll give an example of what I mean...

An excerpt of the lyrics:

Meet me on the Equinox
Meet me half way
When the sun is perched at it's highest peek
In the middle of the day

Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
As we walk in the dimming light
Or darling understand

That everything, everything ends


"When the sun is perched at it's highest peek
In the middle of the day"
is signifying the clock tower in Italy. It's noon hence the "middle of the day". Bella is trying to meet Edward there to tell him that she's alive. To meet him halfway.

Some of the songs on the New Moon Soundtrack weren't as fitting, but then again, some were. Some songs were placed in weird positions like Muse's I Belong to You, but that's okay.

Hope this answered your question :)

lol sorry. yeah, hellohoudini is right. When Charlie talks to Bella about going to Forks and she says "I like my old friends". Lol it just didn't fit. I like the song and the lyrics, just not the song placement. It fits new moon in some areas, but where Alexandra (soundtrack supervisor) put it.. not so much :)

No I mean what does it have connection with the movie like Decode for Twilight meant the part of Edward not being able to read Bellas thoughts thanks anyway

I thought Decode meant Bella knew Edward was her soulmate?

The question is that how do the songs of the soundtrack match New Moon?
