"Right before that sign-off, the season also technically wraps up with the lead-up to the vampire concert, and Rolin also happened to mention to me that he's sitting on the best song from you that we haven't heard yet.

HART: What a responsibility for that song to now carry for however long it takes before anybody hears that song. What a crazy thing for Rolin Jones to say. How could any song possibly live up to that kind of hype? I don't know. But I did write a song for the concert, back when the concert was going to be a part of Season 3, and it exists, but we never recorded it. Before we started recording things for the end of the season, the pieces got moved around the board, and then we knew there wasn't going to be a concert, so we never recorded it. It exists."

So what I'm hearing is the finale was originally supposed to end with The Big Concert?

It was really interesting to learn that it was one of the first songs Daniel Hart wrote for the show. And the line “My dear Gaa-Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga” actually inspired the writers to emphasise Lestat’s stutter throughout the whole season. DH: “What a serendipitous thing. It wasn't my intention to make the stutter a big part of the show; it just made sense for the song, and then Rolin took that and made it make sense for the rest of the show.”

It’s also a good example of why Daniel Hart was such an important part of the writers’ team.

Yes! This drives me crazy. It was clearly written to be Gabrielle.

I think this is my final ranking. The middle section was tough because they're all pretty much on the same level for me:

Stained Glass Eyes

Brutal Love

The Loneliness

Big Boss

All Fall Down (Yes, even with it only being a minute. Needs 3 more!)

When I Call Out Your Name

Your Biggest Fan

Nothin' to Lose

Plastic Fiends

Cabbage

Butterscotch Bitch

Why Do I Have to Feel?

Black Licorice

Big Bad Wolf (Rolin should have never replaced this w/ Black Licorice in the first episode. It makes so much more sense to be in the beginning.)

Long Face

Le Petit Coup (Should have been in the show. Despite saying people think Lestat is playing a vampire, they hardly showed him acting like a vampire. Never had him show his fangs on stage! This song would have worked well to emphasize that, especially had it been in the first episodes.)

Hit the Lights

La Fontaine de Sang
