Character Theme Songs

[Widows Wail]

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]

[Widows Wail]

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

[Para L. Time]

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!

[Widows Wail]

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

[BuzzH]

Okay Brandon, I found one, and not surprisingly, it's for Bramwell and Catherine!   

Endliess Love:
(duet between Lionel Ritchie & Diana Ross)

My love,
Theres only you in my life
The only thing thats bright

My first love,
Youre every breath that I take
Youre every step I make

And i

I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...

They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

I cant resist your charms

This love I have inside
And Ill give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love

[Brandon Collins]

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.

[Julia99]

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".... 

[BuzzH]

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

[Mysterious Benefactor]

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! 

[IluvBarnabas]

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....

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

[Mysterious Benefactor]

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  ), it might be perfect for Julia's big number before her swansong. 

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

[BuzzH]

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

[Janet the Wicked]

Quentin's theme song: Good Lovin by The Rascals

(Good lovin' . . .)
(Good lovin' . . .)
(Good lovin' . . .)

I was feelin' . . . so bad,
I asked my family doctor just what I had,
I said, "Doctor, . . .
(Doctor . . .)
Mr. M.D., . . .
(Doctor . . .)
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me,
What's ailin' me?"
(Doctor . . .)

He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
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)
I said Baby . . . (Baby) . . . now it's for sure . . . (it's for sure)
I got the fever, Baby, Baby, but you've got the cure
(You've got the cure)

I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yes, indeed, all I really need . . .
(Is good lovin')
Gimme that good, good lovin . . .
(Good lovin')
All I need is lovin' . . .
(Good lovin')
Good lovin', baby.

[Brandon Collins]

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  ) 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!
