When I Call Out Your Name
I just love this song. It has grown on me lately and for 2 days I have been listening to it non-stop. I think it has become my favorite.
The lyrics are so powerful and the emotion….
“We’re immortal lovers now / This is immortally cruel” just kills me. 💔 It sounds so good. 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️ It just breaks me, for a reason.
And the song is filled with quotes almost exact from the books:
“Rapunzel with the scarlet ribbon” and “a kiss to cut the lions mane” are references to Gabriella’s hair that Lestat helps her cut every night.
“Hunters of the Savage Garden / Splendid devils and a sea of jewels” this is taken from the books:
- Lestat is bringing Gabriella jewels that he think she would like (especially masculine rings)
- “Her fingers moved as if they had life of their own, could feel delight, and again she laughed. ‘Ah, but we are splendid devils, aren’t we?’ [she said.] ‘Hunters of the Savage Garden,’ I said.” (Vampire Lestat the book)
“let’s go darling” is also a direct quote from the book, one of the only times that Gabriella uses a pet-name like “darling” for Lestat, right after she is turned: “Is this true? his is a reference to a line in the original novel right after Gabrielle’s turning, “‘Let’s go, then, darling,’ she said, and she kissed me. I couldn’t move. I wanted to go back to the tower and just be close to her.” (Vampire Lestat)
“in my loneliness, he is everything” also taken directly from the book: “I have loved him as I have never loved any other being in creation**. In my loneliness, my son is everything to me.** How is it you can’t interpret what you see?” -Gabrielle, The Vampire Lestat
Daniel is a genius. I cannot believe how much love and attention these people give to the books and the characters. It’s amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
