How Robert Pattinson Gave Catherine Hardwicke a Private Concert
One song. Ten times. Over and over. Yet sung differently. Always passionately. Irresistible.
Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke was mesmerized by Robert Pattinson when she found herself listening to the young actor in a studio recording Let Me Sign, a moment so memorable that she described it as her “favorite day…in the last two years.”
“When I heard [Let Me Sign], I just thought ‘Oh, this could be that death scene.’ And then, after we made the whole morphing crazy dream sequence we took that on my laptop back into another little studio in the valley and then Rob literally sang and just played to the image on the screen. And I just watched Rob sing this song, maybe ten different times. Every time it sounded like something almost completely different, because it just came out of him, this kind of RAW feeling and in a way, that was my favorite day that I’ve had in the last two years, just being there in the studio, and watching music just come out of somebody’s body.”

Okay.
I am going to be brave and dare to commit Pattinson sacrilege!
I am not into Rob’s singing. I’ve listened to several and it’s just not my thing.
BUT.
The first time I heard Let Me Sign (during my first viewing of the movie), I fell HARD for that song. I LOVED it.
I didn’t know it was him. *giggle*
I’m sure seeing him sing in person is an entirely different experience, fwiw.
That said? I had an Evil Ellish (get it?) kind of fun imagining him pouring his heart out while looking at the death morph scenes. If he felt a smidge of what *I* felt at the time, whoa.
Dang, it’s hot in here.

I love Rob’s music it’s like no other music I have ever heard before. He is soo soulful. How lucky is Catherine Hardwick to witness such talent first hand!!! This is one of my favorites but I think it’s too short.
