Probably
many of you the Twilight Fans know that Robert Pattinson is a talented
musician. But let’s revise it.
Pattinson
plays the guitar and piano, and composes his own music. He appears as the
singer of two songs on the Twilight soundtrack: "Never Think", which
he co-wrote with Sam Bradley, and "Let Me Sign", which was written by
Marcus Foster and Bobby Long. Pattinson also played the guitar on the Death
Grips song "Birds", which was released in November 2013 on their
album Government Plates.
The
songs were included in the film after director Catherine Hardwicke added
Pattinson's recordings into an early cut without his knowledge, and he agreed
that "one of them specifically, it really made the scene better. It was
like it was supposed to be there." The soundtrack for the film How to Be
features three original songs performed by Pattinson and written by composer
Joe Hastings. Pattinson has said,
"I've never really recorded anything – I just played in pubs and
stuff", and when asked about a professional music career, he said,
"Music is my back-up plan if acting fails."In 2010, Pattinson was
awarded the "Hollywood's Most Influential Top Unexpected Musicians"
award.
In
March 2017 interview Pattinson confirmed about contributing to the music of his
upcoming film Damsel. Talking about it, he said that "I don’t play that
much any more, though I am doing music for [‘Damsel’]. I used to differentiate
between music and acting but the more I don’t play music, the more I push that
area of my brain into acting. I improvise like I would when I play music."
So,
what do you think, should Rob join the ranks of actors-turned-musicians, or
stick to the big screen?
