[fst] alucard/integra - seize the night
Seize the Night
[an alucard.integral fst]
As a forewarning, this is a most bizarre fanmix for a most unique Master and Servant relationship. It wants to be many things, but doesn’t quite add up the way you think it should be or the way it ought to. It's a movie soundtrack, subliminal foreplay, midnight dance club, rabid hip-grinding, crack-induced musical - with some melodrama mixed in.
I guess it’s a bit like Alucard, really. Oh dear.

the songs
01. wicked game (gregorian remix) - chris isaak
What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way. What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
02. back to the house that love built - tito and tarantula (from Desperado)
I need to remember what I came here for. Love or mercy keeps me at your door. Let me come inside.
03. a girl like you - edwyn collins
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw. Now you’ve got me crawlin’, crawlin’ on the floor. And I’ve never met a girl like you before.
04. original sin - steve barton (musical: tanz der vampire)
I’ve been looking for an original sin, one with a twist and a bit of a spin.*
05. paralyzer - finger eleven
If your body matches what your eyes can do, you’ll probably move right through me on my way to you.
06. release - the tea party
I want the world to wake, I want to give you peace, I want to vindicate. You need to be released.
07. slow like honey - fiona apple
Though dreams can be deceiving like faces are to hearts, they serve for sweet relieving when fantasy and reality lie too far apart.
08. angel - gavin friday
So sad that you love her, like the stars above her. Hold on, hold on.
09. lucky - bif naked (from buffy the vampire slayer)
The first time we made love, I - I wasn't sober. (and you told me you loved me over and over!) How could I ever love another, when I miss you every day.
10. uninvited - alanis morissette
I don't think you unworthy, I need a moment to deliberate.
11. carpe noctem (seize the night) - kyle gordon (musical: tanz der vampire)
Come with me and seize the night, now's the time for some inspiration. Leave the day and lose the night. No taboos only new sensations.
12. close your eyes - christophe beck (buffy/angel love theme)
Angel: Buffy? What’s going on? Where are we? I - I don’t remember.
Buffy: Angel?
Angel: You’re hurt. Oh, Buffy. God. I - I feel like I haven’t seen you in months. Oh, my god, everything’s so muddled. I... oh... oh, Buffy. What’s happening?
Buffy: Shh. Don’t worry about it.
Angel: I love you.
Buffy: I love you... close your eyes...
13. your woman - white town
And you’re such a charming, handsome man. Now I think I finally understand. Is it in your genes? I don’t know. But I’ll soon find out, that’s for sure. **
14. I want you - madonna ft. massive attack
One way love is just a fantasy. To share is precious, pure and fair. Don’t play with something you should cherish for life.
15. the magic position - patrick wolf
It's you who puts me in the magic position, darling now. You put me in the magic position. To live, to learn, to love in the major key.
16. boom boom boom boom - the vengaboys [bonus track]
Boom boom boom boom. I want you in my room. Let’s spend the night together, from now until forever.***

notes
* From Jim Steinman’s musical, Tanz der Vampire (aka, Dance of the Vampires). All the shows have been successful except in America due to story editing against Steinman's wishes. However, the music is acceptable.
Dance of the Vampires is an operatic rock-opera. One part of the story is the vampire Von Korlock, who has his eye on the preacher’s daughter, Sarah. He seeks to seduce her and inviting her to his midnight ball where she can become his queen. But alas, every time he believes happiness is in his grasp, it is destroyed beyond repair. There is magic-induced sleep, horrific nightmares, virginal maidens, walking corpses, onstage humping and bloody neck biting! Oh, and some latin chanting.
** The lyrics don’t quite match up, and Alucard’s moods aren’t always charming when he’s ripping heads and drinking blood, but the chorus, “I could never be your woman” remains. It might have something to do with the addictive hook, the almost-eerie electronic wails in the intro, or the fact that it’s a man who’s singing from the perspective of a woman.
*** Utter crack. A friend of mine laughed until she cried when I suggested this song for the fst. And to her delight, here it remains. This is for her.
