Alright, I am writing this all out again because I thought I answered it last night but tumblr decided to send it to the void instead of to my blog.
@wicked-felina ask and I shall deliver. If I talked about all my faves I would be writing about over 100 songs, so I’m just going to write about a few that I have specific characters or circumstances in mind.
(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do – I imagine a dimly lit yet cozy room in New York in the earlier 1960’s. Louis and Armand are slowly dancing to the radio, holding each other in their arms. This song comes on, neither admitting to the other just how much it encapsulates their feelings, but they look into each other’s eyes and they know.
When We Were Gods – Since the first time I heard this song I have gotten Lestat/Akasha vibes. While it’s not something I ship, I do find their relationship fascinating. They both display an almost naive infatuation with the other, causing them to love and excuse the very behaviours they condemn and slaughter others for. And the regret and the horror, as well as the remaining love which Lestat ponders at the beginning of TotBT is heartbreaking.
Rainbow in the Dark – This one is actually a bit of an in-joke for myself. Have you ever been to one of those shows where they adapt an existing work but add in hits from the ‘70’s or ‘80’s? The actors are all over dramatic and the songs only vaguely relate to the subject matter, but the audience as well as the actors are all having an absolutely wonderful time. That is my ideal adaptation of TVL. I feel as though it would really capture the spirit of the young Lestat. This song would be sung by Armand when he explains their ways to Lestat. “You’ve been left on your own, like a rainbow in the dark!”
Moving In Stereo – This is the perfect hunting song, particularly for Louis. Slow, methodic, yet almost mindlessly driven, creating a trance like state, the beat like the ebb and flow of the tide or the beating of a heart.
Korobushka – This is one of my all time favourite songs. A slow beginning gives rise to a feverish melody of strings. If you consider Prince Lestat canon imagine a ballroom full of vampires all dancing in perfect sync, twisting and twirling to the precisely organized chaos.
That’s all I’ll write about for now at least, since (like the playlist) this became far longer than I intended.
JUST BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE TO ENJOY THIS FULLY – I’m linking the playlist again to save confusion. =D HERE!
Rainbow in the Dark is such an excellent VC vibe gotdamn haha. =D
