In a literal twilight translation, the character 'edward' is over 100 years old in the story, so i liked the nod to that. and this lyric sets the tone of the song being written from his edward's perspective. unrelated to twilight, i really liked the idea of the extremity and exaggeration of waiting ' a hundred years' for someone. when you're in love, nothing is too dramatic or overstated. Sidetrack: funny story behind that lyric ' a hundred years'. my original submission title for ' turning page' was actually 'a hundred years.' why is that funny? well, because christina perri's absolutely gorgeous single, from the same soundtrack is titled 'a thousand years.' crazy, crazy coincidence.

a little while before the film released i got a phone call asking if i'd consider a different title because there was another artist on the soundtrack that had nearly the same title. so i came up with a few more title ideas and landed on ' turning page.' to make things even more bizarre/coincidental. remember the friend i mentioned who gave me the nudge to try and submit something for the film? well, his name is david hodges and he co-wrote christina perri's 'a thousand years'! so not only was it absurdly crazy that we both talked about the idea of having music on breaking dawn, and both ended up getting a song on it, BUT we both named our songs nearly identical to eachother's without ever having a clue. that's in part why there are 100 trillion of them in existence right now.

but i knew that ' turning page' shouldn't just be a collection of pretty words. so having gotten married just a year prior to writing this song, i had a well of inspiration to draw from that made this song very personal to me. i knew i wanted to try to write something with the breaking dawn wedding in mind, so i went back to my well and went through my wedding pictures. and little ideas started coming together that hit both marks: personal to me and my own love story, and made sense within twilight's epic love story. every kiss is a cursive line, every touch is a redefining phrase.' 'your love is my turning page, where only the sweetest words remain. On the theme of books: i liked the nod to the twilight books series. and as i did my research to write this song, i was constantly cracking open the twilight books. on a more personal level, my wife is a very talented writer and for her whole life has been in love with books.Īnd since this song is essentially a love story, i liked the idea of highlighting the importance of story. So i really loved the idea of pulling in the theme of books/story in the visuals of this song. Musically, this was so much fun to piece together.
