Synopsis

Annie Lennox performs in a shadowy, moonlit garden while scenes from Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula appear around her. Dressed in a flowing white gown, she seems to occupy the same haunted romantic world as the film's doomed lovers. The editing moves between Lennox's solemn performance and images of Dracula, Mina, Lucy, and the film's gothic imagery. As the song reaches its conclusion, the darkness gives way to a bright, almost sacred light, echoing the film's closing moments.

Factoids & Trivia

• The song was written specifically for Bram Stoker's Dracula and appears over the film's end credits.

• It was recorded and produced by Stephen Lipson, with Lennox credited as the writer and performer.

• The soundtrack was released in 1992, while the song became a single in early 1993.

• In the United Kingdom and Ireland, "Love Song for a Vampire" was issued as a double A-side with "Little Bird," Lennox's solo single from Diva.

• The single reached No. 3 in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, giving Lennox a major chart success with a song that was not originally part of one of her regular studio albums.

• Unlike most of the soundtrack, which consists of Wojciech Kilar's orchestral score, Lennox's song is the principal vocal feature and provides the film's closing pop statement.

• The video functions as both a conventional performance clip and a soundtrack tie-in, using footage from the film rather than attempting to create a separate vampire narrative.
