Dracula

“The mark they saw on my collarbone”

Community readers hear a Gothic / vampire register running under Maroon and trace it to Bram Stoker's Dracula: the mark on the collarbone read as a bite, the saturation of red and blood imagery, the wine "splashed into" the speaker, and the closing image of waking with the lover's memory over her, as Stoker's victims wake with the count's presence over them like a half-remembered dream. The reading runs alongside the hosts' own playful vampire framing of the song.
