[post_page_title]Total Eclipse of the Heart – Vampires[/post_page_title]
This powerful ballad by Bonnie Tyler that is often featured on playlists about love is actually about vampires and took inspiration from Nosferatu.
The songwriter, Jim Steinman told People magazine that when he was writing the ballad, he had it in his head this was going to be a vampire love song. Steinman would later write a Broadway musical titled Dance of the Vampires, and made sure he included Total Eclipse of the Heart on the soundtrack.

The lyrics of Buddy Holly by Weezer are firstly, not about the ‘50s singer. Then, on the face of things, it can seem like the song is a romantic tribute to a lover but that’s not what the song is about either.
Rivers Cuomo, the singer in Weezer, said the song is actually about his commitment to a girl, but in a totally platonic way. He was very willing to defend her but not in a romantic way.
