The Dark-Hunter "theme" is a song that has been a favorite of mine since the early 1980's. Nemesis by Shriekback. The first time I heard it was right after I had published the first DH short-story with Acheron in it. A friend of mine happened to hear the song and it reminded him of my vampires. From the first bar, I was captivated and as soon as I heard:
We feel like Greeks, we feel like Romans
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
We drink elixirs that we refine
From the juices of the dying
We are no monsters, we're moral people
And yet we have the strength to do this
This is the splendor of our achievement
Call in the air strike with a poison kiss
I knew it was a perfect theme for my Hunters.
And if ever there was a song to truly define my dear Dark-Hunters it would have to be one of my faves from childhood. I was 7 or 8 when I first saw the movie King Creole and the instant I heard Elvis sing Trouble, I was hooked on 2 things, his killer bad attitude and New Orleans.
For those unfamiliar with the song, here are the lyrics:
If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I've never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man
I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it all alone
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
Anyone who knows me, knows I am often found either humming or singing this (usually off key as I am tone deaf) and I want to give Nick a special thank you for finding the lyrics online for me. Merci, mon frere.

There was a small typo in Night Play. The song that Vane sings to Bride is The Story of My Life which was recorded by Neil Diamond. The words are as follows:
The story of my life is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story’s still the truth
I was alone.
You found me waiting and made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be a man that you wanted of me
You’re the story of my life, and every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you
It’s the story of our times and never letting go
If I die today, I wanted you to know
Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
And when it began I’d lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write
The story of my life is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave

Heres a little dittie I made up.goodness please don't kill me for doing a parody of "I`m proud to be an American.' But I was bored (But I respect the song cause I am one soooo)
that man is if you haven't noticed theres always that one nasty guy in a DH's past so..
I`m proud to be a Dark Hunter
Though my vengence wasn't free
And I won't forget the ones
Who gave the knife in my back to me
I`d gladly stand up next to you,But it'd drain my powers for the day
An` there ain't no doubt I hate that maaan
Thank the gods for Ash`s sarcasim everydaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Sorry if this doesn't go here or not.Heheh.

My sisters tell me to tell you that was cute. Only because I won't actually say it myself because I'm a guy and guys don't say stuff like that. Other than that, I really liked it.

I think this sog is a good Dream Hunter and possibly all hunter related.
Sweet dreams are made of these
Sweet Dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody`s looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Sweet Dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody`s looking for something
(X3)(Chorus)
Hold your head up-
Keep your head up-
Movin on
Hold your head up-Movin on
Keep your head up-Movin on
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
(Chorus x3)
Sweet Dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody`s looking for something
Sweet Dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody`s looking for something
Sweet Dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody`s looking for something
