Annie Lennox performs Love Song For A Vampre written for the soundtrack of Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula on Top Of The Pops in February of 1993. It featured as a double A-side with the song Little Bird from the album Diva.
In Annie's words to describe the song and the accompanying video (not this performance).
"Many moons ago I was invited to write and record a song for Francis Ford Coppolaās āLove Song for a Vampireāā¦ Iāve always loved Coppola films and was really excited at the prospect, so I immersed myself in the notion of āvampiresā - reading Anne Riceās āVampire Chroniclesā for inspiration. The song arrived quite easily and before long it was recorded.. All before I was able to view the film, as it was still being edited.
I had set the highest expectations
Back in the day, you couldnāt send ālinksā or emails as we do now.
Eventually a video tape arrived and I was able to watch the film in itās entirety.
Gary Oldmanās performance was absolutely extraordinaryā¦ I could watch it over and over again today just to witness the genius of his acting skillsā¦ The costumes, lighting and sets were outstanding, but overall it wasnāt what Iād expected and I felt a bit baffled by it.
Sophie ( Muller) shot my performance completely separately, after the fact, which was a bit risky, but fortunately it worked out in the endā¦ Phew!
The world of film making is another universe when it comes to the Herculean effort and attention to detail made by actors, film makers, technical specialists, set makers and designers, wardrobe , make up, crew etc etc.
Hats off to all those people whose names come up at the end of every film Iāve ever seen!!! Itās team work on steroids".
