Hello everyone! Today, I'm featuring my favorite songs performed by Sam Reid's Lestat from The Vampire Lestat (or, season three of Interview with the Vampire). I loved the first two seasons and I this one was awesome too. Lestat is a fun narrator and I loved the sense of humor. Plus, Sam Reid has a great singing voice. In order of when they appear within the series, give a listen to La Fontaine de Sang (This Baudelaire poem - The Fountain of Blood in English - is the perfect choice for the scene.), Loneliness (This is quite an unexpectedly emotional and vulnerable song coming from Lestat.), Your Biggest Fan (This song is from the perspective of Magnus, Lestat's maker, and it's one of the darkest and most heartbreaking songs of the season and Lestat's trauma is not far from the surface at all.), Big Boss (This is a diabolically cutting and campy song made even better by Armand being there to hear his own diss track live in concert. Knowing Lestat totally reworked Salamander's Big Bus song idea for it makes it even funnier. Plus, Lestat's look on stage brings back pointed memories of Claudia's Baby Lulu, trial, and Santiago - and the fact that Lestat is directly referencing the Five Laws and how they apply (or don't at this point) to Armand throughout the song. In the scene, Armand looks shocked, embarrassed, like he might destroy everyone out at the concert, and a little pleased that he has a whole song about himself. For this one, I'm sharing the clip from the show in which Lestat gives an excellent introduction and the full version of the song available on the album release which gives us even more lyrics.), and Stained Glass Eyes (This is probably my favorite song from the whole season. I didn't expect myself to get so emotional hearing it and seeing more of Claudia in Lestat's memories as if she were with him during the performance):
