HEAVEN
no seriously just listen to this.
when I read IWTV I freaked tf cause a little while after I was listening to New Orleans by Stevie Nicks and I had this amazing revelation because two things I love became connected!
but seriously:‘I wanna brush by Anne Rice’
‘I wanna brush by the vampires’I completely lost it when I connected to dots! Two of my favourite things came together.
OMG I didn’t know about this song! it’s *~beautiful~*
btw… cloudsinvenice would probably want this mentioned: Sting did “Moon Over Bourbon St,” inspired by book!IWTV ;]
‘I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love’
Honestly, the song Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks to me as a song represents the fabulousness of Lestat. I don’t know, whenever I hear that song I just feel like all of his antics go with that song’s level of energy. Lestat is fierce and even though he’s a Brat Prince he’s still fabulous. I also think that song has a bit of sass in it which I always thought Lestat had in spades.
I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”
There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:
He was no more
(He was no more)
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin’ within him
But the moment
That I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;
So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).
