    Summary

    Lestat’s immediate reaction to Louis's question about the song is an emotional one: sadness, loneliness, anger. The latter being directed towards both his mother for leaving and towards Louis for asking. But as he starts to think about it, he realizes he wants to tell someone. That’s why he wrote the song, isn’t it? He doesn’t know where his mother is to demand why she abandoned him. The best he can do is sing about it, let strangers hear his questions for her and the pain she left him with. It’s just that usually the ones listening don’t seem to really hear it. Hear him.

    But Louis clearly has.

    Louis gets to know the musician living in a tent in the park. Lestat learns to stand up for himself.
