Kelly Clarkson’s Lost Twilight Track…and MORE!
In interviews, Kelly Clarkson has made no bones about the fact that she’s a big fan of the Twilight series. So big, in fact, she and her backup singers wrote a song for the New Moon soundtrack.
Written from the point of view of Bella, It ended up not making the soundtrack, but a rough copy of the song has surfaced on the internets.
The mournful tune is called “Empty As I Am.” Check it out below.

damn, her cover of Story is gorgeous. the twilight track is pretty good….although i do think Possibility (which is a beautiful, haunting tune also from bella’s viewpoint) is so similar in vibe, that producers probably didnt feel it was neceassary to include both tracks.
This is what I want her next album to be like. I done with the break-up get back toghter songs
ITA that Lykke Li’s song is great on the soundtrack, but i’m loving Empty as I am. This, to me, is Kelly at her best… I feel her emotion everywhere. it’s beautifully haunting.
<3
Kelly’s voice is just so rich, its wonderful to listen to. she really is a great singer. the emotions she envokes while singing….
Right on! “Two more albums, two more albums….” I cannot wait for Kelly to be able to do more stuff like this! “Grown up Kelly” will be an awesome treat…see: Chivas and most of My December.
I love The Story and Kelly’s cover is just beautiful. Is there something she can’t sing?
In my opinion, I don’t get why AIEW was like a ‘comeback’ album. She never went anywhere. My December, is and will always be my favourite album from her. It’s so earnest and haunting.
Songs like these bring out Kelly’s emotion and richness. It’s a shame if people don’t like this side of Kelly because they’re missing out BIG time.
Soberr, right on. If there was ever a time I wish you could “like” comments, it’s this one.
Kelly said she never sent the song to be considered for the sounbdtrack, it’s just something she wrote inspired by the book because she’s a fan.
Having said that, it’s a beautiful song, she shows her emotions while singing like nobody else does. She’s incredibly talented, there is nothing she can’t sing.
Empty As I Am is a beautiful song. I hope she releases it some day. As a Twilight fan myself, I think the New Moon connection is cool too. I love hearing about artists’ inspirations.
Love Empty As I Am!
“empty as i am” immediately made me think of nickelback, daughtry, or dc singing it. not because kelly doesn’t sound fantastic singing it. maybe because mainstream radio only carries gruff-voiced male rockers rocking songs like this anymore, with pink being the only exception among females. its way too bad.
When I heard she covered “The Story” during one of the preshows, it was instantly one that I really wanted to hear her take on. She definitely didn’t disappoint at all.
mj, looks like a bunch of these recordings are going to be making their ways to the web over the course of this weekend. I think there’s something like 41 songs floating around out there and only a few are public so far.
It’s so sad these songs are going to be posted online. The fans paid A LOT of money to be at those pre shows, if I was one of them I would be pissed. I wish there was a way to take them down from youtube.
I am a big fan of Brandi Carlile and I really like Kelly’s version of “The Story”.
