The Scottish singer Annie Lennox wrote "Love Song for a Vampire" for Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula, where it plays over the closing credits, and it sounds exactly like a woman who took the assignment to heart. Stephen Lipson produced, Heff Moraes engineered, and Lennox plays keyboards and sings, her voice coiling through a dark, gothic hush.
In February 1993 it went out in Britain, Ireland and elsewhere in Europe paired with "Little Bird" as a double A-side, and Sophie Muller's video cut Lennox in among footage from the film. Reviews were warm then and have stayed that way.
