I wore my Lestat shirt, leather jacket, and blasted the songs from your musical every second I could! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I hope you get everything you want and more… Although, I’m sure your content with the company you keep. I wish you only the best, love ya

♛As well you should have! That’s an appropriate uniform for my birthday, indeed *grins* Many thanks for your lovely message. 

That musical has some good music, but my own music is better, and I really must get back to the studio and record some fresh tunes for my adoring fans…

Your Music is hard to attain, dearest. I, although I admit to not having tried my hardest to find it as of yet for I am not given enough hours in the day, have yet to find any of your personal work. I would love it listen to it every waking moment of my life (I would play your music at my funeral tbh) if I could, but it seems I am unable to. (@i-want-my-iwtv)

♛ The issue is that some people felt my music had explicit lyrics that might be harmful to children – really only half of the songs were, somewhat, more adult in nature – and these groups gathered together and apparently shattered many of my albums and they melted the cassettes!

Sadly, few copies exist and even I don’t know where they are! As for the master recordings, well, I would make fresh copies and sell them, but upon further reflection, they could use some remastering, so you’ll have to wait until I get around to that. I’d play my music at someone’s funeral, hell, I already put the “fun” in “funeral” as it is *smirks*

For now, listen to David Bowie, Bon Jovi, Guns ‘n Roses, Sting, and the Boss, those are several of my major influences *winks*

You know, Moon over Bourbon St. was inspired by Louis’s book? It’s true, or so I’ve been told.

Which songs remind you of the vampire chronicles / characters / pairings ?

Oh gosh. SO MANY.

Well for a little appetizer, Sting’s “Moon Over Bourbon St.” was inspired by IWTV! It’s from Louis’ POV.

And of course there’s “Arsonist’s Lullaby” by Hozier, which reminds me of Louis who kinda has a thing for fire…

“Someone edited R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” to be in major instead of minor and it is absurd.” [X] Very much reminds me of Lestat! Give it a listen, be patient w/ it, it’s worth the effort!

I have so many VC feels w/ music, can you be more specific? You might find what you’re looking for here:

  • Music Lestat motorcycles to – Music and music-related things he loves, pics that he might have taken on long rides (like this one), some of which don’t have lyrics that are specifically Lestatuesque, but he gets smtg out of them, whether it be the beats, melodies, singer’s voices, etc.
  • VC Fanmix – fanmixes others have done for certain ships or characters (or mixes that seemed VC-adjacent to me).
  • Music – the larger music tag.

Bonus: Michael Bolton’s “How can we be lovers?” is so L/L!

People Off The Page, feel free to reblog and add your recs!

Hi Auntie Jilli! I’m a TA for a Vampire Literature class at my college, and since finals are almost here, I wanted to make the kids a playlist of music about vampires to listen to while writing their papers. I’ve wracked my brain and only been able to come up with a scant few, though–do you have any recommendations? Things that your average grown-up-2007-emo-scene-queen might not know?

lestydelioncourt:

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’
