Love Song For A Vampire
Annie Lennox · Other Songs - Annie Lennox
And lay your body down
For 'tis this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum.
It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds.
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs.
Once I had the rarest rose that
ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the bud,
And stole my flower too soon
The loneliness of hopelessness
to search the ends of time,
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.
Ohh Love I'll never love..
Oh love I'll never love.
oh love....Still falls the rain. (repeat)
Oh love I'll never love.
Oh love I'll never love.
Oh love....still falls the night
Oh love I'll never love.
Oh love I'll never love.
Oh love....Be mine for ever. (repeat)
Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heav'n is laid,
With stars of brightest gold
They shine for you.
They shine for you.
They burn for all to see.
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.
Love Song For A Vampire
Annie Lennox delivers a hauntingly atmospheric track that blends electronic textures with her distinctive vocal delivery, creating a soundscape that feels both modern and timeless. The song stands as a testament to her versatility, showcasing her ability to navigate between pop sensibilities and darker, more experimental territories. While often associated with the broader electronic and new wave movements of the late 1980s and 1990s, the recording captures a specific mood that resonates with themes of isolation and emotional complexity. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of melancholy without relying on traditional lyrical structures, allowing the music itself to tell a story of longing and transformation. This piece remains a significant example of Lennox's work that bridges the gap between her early solo success and her later, more eclectic musical explorations.
