When I found out that the episode 8 title is "We'll always have Bourbon Street", I knew the next song for vidding would be "Moon over Bourbon Street". I am trying hard to make a DElena video, but it always turns out to be a Damon (sort of) character study video, usually sad and tragic, just like poor Damon who never gets the girl, and if he does, there is always a major complication like this Sire bond...
In this vid, a special attention is paid to Damon's doing the right or wrong thing. Stefan is openly displeased and he can't hide it in this episode. Damon ends up in the middle of such heavy conflict and I can't wait for the next episode. :D
Back to the song - If you listen to the lyrics carefully, you'll notice they are a perfect match for Damon and what has happened to him and the fact that he is a vampire. No wonder, as the song was initially written for "Interview with the vampire". This episode has given the perfect scene selection that matches the lyrics precisely.
Here are the lyrics for you to read if something isn't clear due to voiceovers, though I always take care not to put voiceovers over the sung parts of songs if possible.
Moon over Bourbon Street:
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
