Possible Song Inspiration: “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin” by Boxing Ghandis
IF YOU LOVE ME, WHY AM I DYIN?
As much as I love the dialogue…(the one liners that come out of Lafayettes mouth alone make the show worth watching)
As much as I love all the beautiful people that make up this crazy cast of characters (I’m not drawing lines here…I wouldn’t turn my nose up to Bill or Eric…lets be honest ladies:)
NOTHING BEATS THE MUSIC!!!
I want to be the guy that finds all these little (mostly less known) gems and shares them with the true blood world. THREE CHEERS FOR THAT GUY!!!
Having seen Jason’s “preview,” I see why they picked this title.
Am I the only one wondering if that really was Claudine or not? If so why did she look so much like a troll when she died? Not a fairy?
Did you not see the first episode of Season 4? What kind of question is that?!
Every episode is as good as the last and next… LOVING IT!!!
But I’m especially loving the title song of this one!!!
Can anyone suggest where I can get it?!
You can get this on iTunes…
