As I was listening to some music today, a certain song struck me as being a good theme song or song about Angelique. That is what brought up this topic. Anyone have any songs they know of that would fit a DS character? If so, post them hear and explain why you think it fits, it you like. I'm posting lyrics too.
Here is my song for Angelique, though there are plenty others out there that fit her as well:
"Killer Queen" by Queen
Lyrics:
She keeps a Maqet et Chandon
in her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
for Khrushchev and Kennedy
And anytime an invitation
you can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice (okay, maybe THAT doesn't fit with ol' Ang)
She's a killer queen
gunpower gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam (if only she had one! think of the damage!)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime.
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address (no wonder she died so many times!)
In conversation
she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
if you're that way inclined
(she's a killer queen)
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less (who needs them when you've got a broom?)
Fastidious and precise
She's a killer queen
gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (or at least your heart)
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as weilling as
playful as a pussy cat
The momentarily out of action (HELLO Joshua)
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild...
She's all out to get you
She's a killer queen
gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommeded at the price
Insatiabe an appetite wanna try?
Wanna try?
Now, aside from any implied or originally meant meanings (wink) I think this fits her. Was thinking about using "Witchy Woman" but the title is a little obvious and I didn't get a chance to listen to it before posting.
Wanna try?

Interesting idea.
How about this song, Barnabas to Josette? I think the lyrics speak for themselves
The Long and Winding Road
The long and winding road
that leads to your door
will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me her
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
the many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yea

Great songs! They fit Quentin and Barnabas perfectly.
-
Oops, I meant to put in Angelique's name, instead of Quentin's, oh well.... ;D
I think "Cold-Hearted Snake" would fit the (early) 1897 Quentin perfectly and the song "Obsession" is a perfect description to how Angelique feels about Barnabas....come to think of it it would also suit Barnabas' life-long fixation on Josette. ;)
-
Love that song choice Widow's Wail! It does fit them perfectly! Though I'm sure Josette has done more crying than Barnabas. Think of all the times her crying spirit has appeared to save him! After all those years she still loves and cares for him.
And I agree with "Cold Hearted Snake" and "Obsession".
I've been trying to think of a good one for Trask. Any and all Trasks except for the butler one, probably. (We were never shown his dark side. Could he have been keeping an illegitimate love-child in the closet?)
-
Love that song choice Widow's Wail! It does fit them perfectly! Though I'm sure Josette has done more crying than Barnabas. Think of all the times her crying spirit has appeared to save him! After all those years she still loves and cares for him.
Point well taken, I should have explained after all. LOL
I was doing that thing we all do with lyrics -visualizing something no one sees but us.
I 'see' Barnabus standing on Widows Hills after walking "the long and winding road" lamenting his long lost Josette.........("the wild windy nights") the wind (the widow's wail) singing with him.....she "left him standing there" when she jumped....and he is begging her to return ("don't leave me standing here") etc....
I think 'Cold Hearted Snake' is just perfect!!

For Barnabas: "Waiting for the Night", by Depeche Mode:
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark... reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel... is tranquility
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark... reality
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were opened...
Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark... reality
Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel... is tranquility.

"Waiting for the Night" fits Barnabas perfectly! I love those lyrics.
I've been looking for a song that is titled "Confused" or something like that for Vicki, but have yet to come across one. I did, however, find a what I think is a great one for Barnabas and Julia. If anyone watched the Grey's Anatomy finale last year, you've heard it. I believe it was played after Denny died. Anyway, here it is:
"Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol
We'll do it all everything, on our own
We don't need anything, or anyone
If I lay here, If I just lay here
Would you like with me
And just forget the world
I don't quite know how to say how I feel (DUH BARNABAS!)
Those three words are said too much (Julia: Well maybe they wouldn't be if you weren't such a
They're not enough man-wh**e)
If I lay here, If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what you're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
Let's waste time chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace to remind me (Finally, Barnabas has realized!)
To find my own
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what you're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
All that I am, All that I ever was (And that was a lot for Barn!)
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see, I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never
Change for us at all
I think this is pretty self explanatory. "Laying here" means in a coffin if you think of it after the [spolier]ending of a recent book[/spoiler]. Or you could just think of Barnabas laying in his coffin and finally realizing that he loves Julia and that this is all he wants to say to her.

Another song for Barnabas: "One Caress" by Depeche Mode (I swear, if there is ever another tv show or movie, the soundtrack should be all Depeche Mode!)
Well I'm down on my knees again
And I pray to the only one
Who has the strength
To bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I've done
Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look
At what you found old
And in it you'll find something new
Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
I'm shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you offer me... eternal darkness
I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
Or it's the mood that I am in
That's left us back where we began
Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed...

I think that this song would work for either Barnabas or Quentin.
To all the girls I've loved before
Who traveled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else's wives
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls we've loved before
Who traveled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
To all the girls we've loved before
Who traveled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
-------------------------------------------------------
To all the girls I've loved before
By Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias

Wow more great songs! Thanks for sharing these Para L. (great play on words btw!) and Penthea. I think both would fit Barnabas & Quentin marvelously!
Para L.--Who is this Depeche Mode? Is this an artist or a group? I've never heard of him/them before. What type of music is it?
-
Yay for Depeche Mode!
May I also suggest The Cure's Untitled for Barnabas & Josette, also Quentin & Beth because I love this damn song!
hopelessly drift
in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees
and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real
never know how i wanted to feel
never quite said what i wanted to say to you
never quite managed the words to explain to you
never quite knew how to make them believable
and now the time has gone
another time undone
hopelessly fighting the devil futility
feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
i'll never lose this pain
never dream of you again
And for Maggie's kidnapping by Barnabas the Toadies Possum Kingdom. Years ago I made a music video of this song to that storyline, I'm in the process of remaking it right now.
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret
I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...
Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
(hey, hey, hey)
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!
Be my angel
Be my angel
Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus...

For Carolyn, who had the most number of boyfriends on the show:

David

It was the lyrics of Joni Mitchell that taught me to appreciate the beauty of words.
From Joni's
"The Circle Game"
this is for all of David Henesy's characters:
"Yesterday A Child Came Out to Wonder
Caught a Dragonfly Inside a Jar
Fearful When the Sky Was Full of Thunder
And Tearful at the Falling of a Star......
So The Years Spin By
And Now the Boy is 20
Though His Dreams Have Lost Some Grandeur
Coming True
There'll be New Dreams, Maybe Better Dreams
And Plenty
Before The Last Revolving Year Is Through
And The Seasons They Go Round and Round
And The Painted Pony Goes Up and Down
We're Captured on the Carousel of Time
We Can't Return, We Can Only Look
Behind From Where We Came
And Go Round And Round And Round
In The Circle Game"
David

a bit tongue in cheek , how about Quentin and anyone....
Telephone Line (by ELO)
Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone.
Hey--how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.
I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through.)
And I wonder why
(The little things are finally coming true.)
[CHORUS]
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so no--one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.
[CHORUS -- repeat]

Carolyn's theme *when she was dating Buzz could be:
Out Tonight
Whats the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It say,'Time for danger'
It says 'I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger'
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the
Games
Get-up life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance it the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We wont be back
Before it's Christmas Day
Take me out tonight (meow)
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That your on line with the feline of
Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
In the evening I must roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels to damn much like like home
When the spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scares from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in
Heat?
Just take me out tonight
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight

Brandon Collins, Depeche Mode was a group, is a trio, of middle-aged men who play electronic music. Most of their music is quite gothic in tone, and most of the songs have a religious conotation, even though they are most certainly not a Christian music group. They have been around since 1980 and are from Great Britain. Other songs of theirs that would be great on a Dark Shadows soundtrack would be "Black Celebration", "Fly On The Windscreen", "Strangelove", "Halo", "Policy Of Truth", "Walking In My Shoes", and "Suffer Well", to name a few!

Love Song For a Vampire (Annie Lennox)
Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
It's 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
Oh loneliness
Oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine
Love O love O love
O love O love O love
O love Still falls the rain (still falls the rain)
Love O love O love
O love O love O love
O love Still falls the night
Love O love O love
O love O love O love
O love be mine forever (be mine forever)
Love O love O love
O love O love O love
O love O love O love
O love O love O love
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
-
Okay Brandon, I found one, and not surprisingly, it's for Bramwell and Catherine! [hall2_grin]
Endliess Love:

I would expect nothing less from you Buzz!
These are all great songs! I might be posting one here if I can find the lyrics for it. It's rather new. [female_skull]

A Few songs for Julia
"You Owe Me Nothing In Return"
I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it
You can speak of anger and doubts your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it
(and there are no strings attached to it)
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return
You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want anything at all and I'll understand it
(and there are no strings attached to it)
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return
I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet wonder how far you have now danced you way back into debt
This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is
You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss I'll empathize with
You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion I'll hear it
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
(and there are no strings attached)
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

How about from Angelique to Barnabas, Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me".... [hall_wink]
-
How 'bout this one for Barnabas and Julia (if he ever woke up and realized she was the one for him)
The Search is Over:
by Survivor
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me
Show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain
The man I really am
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Then I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes
-
How about from Angelique to Barnabas, Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me"....
I want you to want me? I need you to need me? I'd love you to love me?
Certainly sounds like Angelique to me! [hall2_wink]
-
Hey Buzz, I totally agree with your choice of The Search Is over regarding Barnabas and Julia. Oh, if only he HAD realized what he and Julia could have had.... [hall2_rolleyes]
This is a Patsy Cline song from Maggie to Joe after they had broken up, it's called I Fall to Pieces
I fall to pieces
each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
how can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
you want me to forget
pretend we've never met
And I've tried, and I've tried
but I haven't yet
you walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
time only adds to the flame
you tell me to find someone else to love
someone who'd love me too
the way you used to do
but each time I go out with someone new
you walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces
-
I've recently come across this song, and every time I hear it, it strikes me as something Julia should have sung to Barnabas. Or perhaps beter yet, if someone ever makes hoDS: The Musical (don't scoff, let's not forget the attempted DS stage musical [hall2_undecided]), it might be perfect for Julia's big number before her swansong. [hall2_wink]
Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy a brand new shade of male
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off
I'm kissin' you off
Spare this child your sideways smile
That crack in your veneer
Some blue broad will spoil your rod
It just takes patience dear
They rush you for your life
But you'll never beat the game
Older and Older you get
Crush you like a gyre
But the gimble's all the same
Oh no I think it's happening
Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy a brand new shade of male
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off
I'm kissin' you off
-
Found another one for Bramwell/Catherine, or frankly, ANY couple on the show:
I Dont Want To Miss A Thing Lyrics - Aerosmith
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Quentin's theme song: Good Lovin by The Rascals
(Good lovin' . . .)
(Good lovin' . . .)
(Good lovin' . . .)

Yes, indeed, all you really need . . .
(Is good lovin')
Gimme that good, good lovin . . .
(Good lovin')
All I need is lovin' . . .
(Good lovin')
Good lovin', baby.
Baby please, squeeze me tight . . . (Squeeze me tight)
Now don't you want your baby to feel alright? (Feel alright)

(Good lovin')
All I need is lovin' . . .
(Good lovin')
Good lovin', baby.

OMG I'm dying because of "Good Lovin'"!!! That sooooo fits!!!
I don't know if anyone is a fan of today's music, but I just picked up the new My Chemical Romance (MCR) CD and it is totally awesome! (though has no relation to that new Vh1 movie about the 80s [hall2_wink]) It is today's rock, but with an edge that SCREAMS 70s/80s GOOD rock in some songs. Absolutely Great. Anyway, their first single is called "Welcome to the Black Parade".
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
to see a marching band (Barn and Joshua going to Martinique)
He said son when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned? (Self explanatory, though I'm sure Joshua didn't want Barn to be a vamp!)
He said will you
Defeat them
Your demons
And all the non-believers
The plans that they have made? (HELLO Barn being the rescuer of the Collins family!)
Because one day
I'll leave you
A PHANTOM
To lead you in the summer
To join the black parade
When I was--a young boy
My Father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said son when you grow up
Would you be
The savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?
Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go (Ang is always watching!)
And through it all
The rise and fall
The bodies in the streets (oh how many!)
And when you're gone we want you all to know
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone belive me
Your memory will carry on
Will carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it
A world that send you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all (It sure killed Carl!)
So paint it black
And take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call (Defiant? Barn? Never!)
To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone belive me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches (Josette Marches! Get Ang! Bite her! Pull her eye out!)
On and on we carry though the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
Take a look ta me
'Cause I could not care at
All
Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
Go and try
You'll never break me (Barn and Ang always fought!)
We want it all
We want to play this part
I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry (Not until 1840 anyway!)
I'm unashamed
I'm gonna show my scar (and boy did Barn leave many)
Give a cheer
For all the broken
Listen here
Because it's who we are
I'm just a man
I'm not a hero
Just a boy who had to sing this song
I'm just a man I'm not a hero
I
Don't
CARE!
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on!

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion (whether or not you think the song is corny I think it's a perfect one for Barnabas about Josette)
Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
that is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us,
you have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
and you're here in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
and never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to
in my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
and you're here in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
and I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way,
you are safe in my heart,
and my heart will go on and on

She's Always A Woman By Billy Joel for Dr Julia Hoffman
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
Yeah, she hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
CHORUS
Oh-she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh-and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
CHORUS
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

To Angelique
Cliff Richard Devil Woman for Angelique as Casandra Collins
Ive had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew itwas a spell she cast
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadnt planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked into those big green eyes
And I wondered what Id come there for
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you from behind
If youre out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
Youd better get out of there fast
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you...
