Re: Setting the book to music

I don't know where this fits in(I've read much of this thread to get some idea about it, and I'm still confused), but I was wondering if or where some songs from like Pink Floyd, Within Temptation, or Lacuna Coil would fit in.
Like heres some Pink Floyd songs(with who wrote them in parentsis), and where they may fit in in the books(or perhaps the movies, too).
Echoes(Roger Waters, Richard Wright, David Gilmour and Nick Mason)-general catch all to the series. It has this kinda psychedelic, floaty, fantasy feel to it, and it kinda fits with the dark, fanciful nature of the books.
Wish You Were Here(Waters/Gilmour)-a perfect backdrop for the first half of New Moon, with Bella and her derpession at Edward having to leave her.
Sheep(Waters)-a perfect metaphor for Bella for the whole series and the danger she faces(just look up Waters' lyrics for this song, and replace the sheep, dogs and slaughterhouse/meat packing references with Bella and vampire references, and you'll get it).
And here's a song by performed by the late Richard Wright(Pink Floyd keyboardist) called Breakthough, and it'll fit in for either when Bella and Edward reunite near the end of New Moon, when they proposed marrage, or maybe even at the end of Breaking Dawn when the Volturi chicken out and leave in shame.
And as for Within Temptation, "Our Farewell" could fit in for when Edward leaves, for one example. And the Lacuna Coil song "Spellbound" could apply to when Bella and Edward meet in Twilight and Bella tried to find out for herself what Edward is.
Any thoughts, or am I in the wrong area or presenting this in the wrong way(as I said, I read though the post, and I'm still a little confused about this subject).
