Ok I was Youtubing it earlier to give my hands (and brain) a break from all the writing I've been doing and I watched few Spuffy vids where the songs just so did NOT fit at all. It wasn't so much that it didn't go with the vid because the vids themselves were a bit of ok, but it was just the choice of song for the pairing.

Ionno...maybe I'm a music snob...

Anyhoo...what one song would you say is perfect for our favourite couples?

I have this:

Buffy/Angel - Iris by GooGoo Dolls (from Angel to Buffy)

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cuz sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

Buffy/Spike - Dirty Little Secret by Sarah McLachlan (from Buffy to Spike)

If I had the chance, love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I never said before
Don't tell me it's too late
Cause I've relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
But I denied in my capacity to love
I am willing, to give up this fight

Willow/Oz - Far Away by Nickelback (from Oz to Willow)

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long

Buffy/Spike - Crashed by Chris Daughtry (Spike to Buffy)

Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you,
and I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
but then you breathed your breath in me.
and I crashed into you,
like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
but I can't walk away.

Giles/Anya - Cannonball by Damien Rice (from Giles to Anya)

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bitof your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Right now, that is pretty much all I can think of. Anyone else have any opinions?!?

Hi hun, I thought Iris would match spuffy too. Here is the link to one i saw a few weeks back, it's really stuck and won't leave my brain anymore. I thought it matched very good. Goody bye my lover by James Blunt 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL41ggfoMkk

I always, always, always think of Buffy and Spike when I listen to "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette.

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me"
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave

But you?  You're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic swerve
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd lead shepherd

But you? You're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before

But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate...

So yeah, very Buffy POV, especially during Season 6.  Also almost every song off of Evanescence's first album makes me think of Buffy and Spike in one way or another.  I also think of Spike's POV after Buffy died when I hear "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

There's been tons more, cuz hey, I think about da Spuffy entirely too much, but there's a couple for ya!

Spike to Buffy- "Alone I Break" Korn

Now I see the times they change
leaving doesn't seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
where to leave my hurt behind
All this shit I seem to take
all alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Buffy to Spike- "Tearjerker" Korn

And I wish there was something
Please tell me there's something better
And I wish there was something more than this
Saturated loneliness

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can
it's just saturated loneliness

Spike about Buffy- "Sanctified" NIN

It's still getting worse after everything I've tried.
What if I found a way to wash it all aside.
What if she touches with those fingertips,
As the words spill out like fire from her lips?

And if she says come inside I'll come inside for her.
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified. I am purified. I am sanctified. Inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel.
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.
I still dream of lips I never should have kissed.
Well she knows exactly what I can't resist

I'm still caught up in another of her spells.
Well she's turning me into someone else.
Everyday I hope and pray this will end.
But when I can I do it all again


Also "Creep" by Radiohead, "Control" Puddle of Mudd, and finally... what sounds like a conversation between Buffy and Spike- "Closer" NIN:

Buffy:  you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
Spike:  you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Buffy: help me I broke apart my insides,

Spike: help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Buffy:help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
Spike: I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
Buffy: you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
Spike: you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Buffy: help me tear down my reason,

Spike: help me its' your sex I can smell
help me you make me perfect,

Buffy: help me become somebody else

yea ok, I need  a life.

i always think Spuffy when i hear "My Immortal" by Evanescence....love that song, and man, that girl can sing!!!

DoS, I think "My Immortal" could be Spuffy, but after I listened to the lyrics a bit more, I actually saw it more as Willow's point of view after losing Tara.

Coquine, I never even thought of "Uninvited" for Spuffy!  Of course, it's been awhile since I heard the song.  That's a really good one.

Scarlet, you broke apart "Closer" so well, it's almost as if the show writers had it playing in the background while writing Season 6 :)

I think "This Love" (if anyone knows who it's by, let me know, 'cause I don't feel like looking it up right now) could definitely be from Spike's point of view:

I tried so hard to feed her appetite,
To keep her coming every night.
So hard to keep her satisfied, etc.

Now, nobody go making fun of my music choices with this one :-P but I think "I Surrender" by Celine Dion (No, I'm not a soul-sucking demon from another dimension) could be what goes on inside Buffy's head in Season 7 when she finally lets herself begin to love Spike:

There's so much life I've left to live
And this fire is burning still.
When I watch you look at me,
I think I could find the will

To stand for every dream,
And forsake this solid ground,
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they every knew:

I'm in love with you.

'Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you.  I know you can feel it, too.
We'd make it through.

A thousand dreams I'd still believe,
And make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go.

I surrender.

Okay, I'm done now.

Wow, really good songs.

This Love is by Maroon 5 IB -- OH! Did you get your email hun?!?

Oh crap!  I'm horrible with email :-P  I'll go check now.

 I completely agree that there are vids out there use the wrong song.  I like the idea of Faraway by Nickelback for Willow and Oz.  Shady has a great vid to the same song but spuffy on her site  http://www.shadydesigns.net/far.wmv

 Songs that describe Spuffy or other pairings? Since this might take awhile, I'll list the bands and then their songs. Also I'm only posting part of the lyrics because this is probally going to be a long list. After all I do write my stories with the CD player blasting next to me. :P

Three Days Grace:

Pain: (Spike and Buffy in season six)

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

Animal I have Become: (Angel)

I can't escape this hell
So many times i've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

Over and Over: (Spike once he fell in love with Buffy)

I feel it everyday it's all the same
It brings me down but I'm the one to blame
I've tried everything to get away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again
Why do I do this?

Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to

Hinder:

Get Stoned: (Spike and Buffy's relationship in season six)
Just hear me out
If it's not perfect I'll perfect it till my heart explodes
I highly doubt
I can make it through another of your episodes
Lashing out
One of the petty moves you pull before you lose control
You wear me out
But it's all right now
Lets go home and get stoned
We could end up makin love instead of misery
Go home and get stoned
Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me
You wear me out (We could end up making love instead of misery)
But it's all right now

How Long: (I think of this one as set in season seven sometime around "First Date")

Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away

Lips Of An Angel: (this one is more Angel to Buffy and I always picture Cordy and Spike watching them in the back ground)

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Bliss: (Spike after Buffy dumped in in season 6)

(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
I'll go ahead and pour myself a drink
I really couldn't care less what you think
Well I don't have to listen now
Live this day down
If I can't feel a thing
You might as well save your goodbyes
We can give this train wreck one last ride
I'm gonna have to listen now
Live this day down
If I don't make things right
I'll tell you one last time

I don't wanna know it's over
So save your goodbye kiss
I don't wanna know it's over
Cause ignorance is bliss
I can hardly see
What's in front of me
Cause the vodka's running on empty
I can't stay sober
If it's over
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
So save your goodbye kiss

By The Way: (Spike to Buffy in season six)

In the winding down hours
I let your heart down again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
Old habits die hard
I always end up hating the end
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)

I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same

Godsmack:

Keep Away: (what I've wished Spike would say to the Scoobies)

Sickness spilling through your eyes
Craving everything you thought was alive, yeah
Stab me in heart again, ah yeah
Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?

Do like I told you
Stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Keep away from me

Hollow: (Buffy season six)

One more step and I could fall away
If it happened would it matter?
And I can't tell if I should go or stay
Same old picture feel so hollow
How can anybody know what's best for me?
Another page I turn in shame
And my decisions brought me to my knees
I needed someone to blame

I feel so hollow
I feel so hollow

Alice In Chains:

Don't Follow: (I put all of these lyrics up since it's not a very long song. I say this would be Spike to Buffy in season five of Angel)

Hey, I ain't never coming
Home
Hey, I'll just wander my
Own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow

Hey you, you're livin'
Life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that
Bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake
Me round now
I get so lost and don't
Know how
And it hurts to care, I'm
Going down

Forgot my woman, lost my
Friends
Things I'd done and where
I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors
Cold
See my face it's growin'
Old
Scared to death no reason
Why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I
Said
Read the page it's cold
And dead

Take me home

Okay I think I'll stop now before it gets any longer. :P

ive made videos to the following.....

Broken - Seether ft. Amy lee

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

Listen to your heart - DHT

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

If you're not the one - Daniel Bedingfield

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

i also think that the song "Ghost of you and me" by BBMak is a good one..

What am I supposed to do
With all these blues
Haunting me, everywhere, no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I cant let go
When will this night be over

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

sigh thats enough for now..

Hee! I've seen those! Loved them!

I just though the song choices some people used were kind of odd - I mean one vid had the song Nameless by Staind which is a good song but not that Spuffy.

The walls around me caving in
Cracked and grey
Remind me of myself, I need some help
There's no one else
I'm empty
Addicted
Pissed off
And still afraid
Of what you
Have left me
To live in
This mess you've made

I feel...
Useless...
Jaded...
Nameless

The ride is over I've come down
Hate to be
Can't rely upon myself, for my own health
I'm so fucked up
Distorted, dysfunctional and drained
All my deep rooted fears seem
To get the best of me

I feel...
Useless...
Jaded...
Nameless

I hate the way you fuck with me
You can't rely on open eyes to see
I force these painful visions from my head
You won't be happy till I break down

I feel...
Useless...
Jaded...
Nameless

See, the words look alright on paper -- can see it being done round about the time that Spike is crazy in the basement -- but it's just not Spuffy, ya know?

On the other hand, Staind has a hell of a lot of songs that could apply to all the Scoobys.

  I think one of the best Spuffy videos I had seen was set to Linda Perry's 'Knock me Out'.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd_yxLdV8ok

Now, just one of you tell me that doesn't fit.  lol.

Holy crap TC! That was great! Even just sent me the link on GB's livejournal with Spike and Buffy having sex to Sesame Street songs!

She's an odd duck ;) But damn was it funny!

These two songs always remind me of Spuffy.

Run

by Sno Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

...and...

Hemmorrhage

by Fuel

Memories are just where you laid them
Drag the waters ’till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was there something you left behind?
Don’t you remember anything I said when I said

Don’t fall away, and leave me to myself
Don’t fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

Oh hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you’ve left to go
She cries her life is like
Some movie black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries

Don’t fall away, and leave me to myself
Dont fall away, and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

And I wanted
You turned away
You don’t remember, but I do
You never even tried

Don’t fall away and leave me to myself
Don’t fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding


This part seems especially fitting, since Buffy said this almost word for word during OMWF:

She cries her life is like
Some movie black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries

   I just found a song that I think fits Buffy's view of Spike and her and Spike together pretty well.  Its by a band called Frou Frou.  The name of the song is '"Psychobabble":

How did you get this number?
I can't get my head 'round you
Of course you're not coming over
Snap out of it
You're not making any sense

You couldn't be more wrong, darling
I never gave out these signs
You misunderstand all meaning
Snap out of it
I'm not falling for this one

If love is surrender
Then whose war is it anyway?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

If you think that it's so damn easy
Then what do you need me for?
Just look at the state of you
Babe, snap out of it
You're not listening to this

And just for once could you
Let me finish my sentence?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

Make no sudden movements
And no one will get hurt
You're making me nervous
If you know what's good for me
Why would I be leaving you?

Now, I've had it up to here
Don't ever try that again
Why are you so quiet so suddenly?
Go on, have it
You're just dying to try me

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

Make no sudden movements
And no one will get hurt
You're making me nervous
If you know what's good for me
Why would I be leaving you?

So, what do we do now?
What do we do now?
What do we do now?
What do we do now?

Nother song that fits Spuffy!

"Anyone Who Had a Heart" Luther Vandros~ Spike to Buffy

Anyone who ever loved
Could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed
Could look at me
And know I dream of you

Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms
And love me too
You, you couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me
Like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?

Every time you go away
I always say it's good bye dear
Loving you the way I do
I'll take you back
Without you I'd die dear
Knowing I love you so...

"If Only For One Night" Luther Vandross~ Spike to Buffy

Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near
To ease away your fear
It would be so nice
If only for one night

I won't tell a soul
No one has to know
If you want to be totally discreet
I'll be at your side
If only for one night

Your eyes say things I never hear from you
And my knees are shakin too
But I'm willin to go through
I must be crazy
Standin in this place
But i'm feeling no disgrace

For asking......

I heard this song a few weeks agonow and immediatly thought of Spike and Buffy in the basement the night before Spike closed the Hellmouth

Last Request by Paolo Nutini
Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight

[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time just go there,
Lay down beside me

Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight

[chorus]

Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

[chorus x2]

Yeah, lay down beside me.

One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Another "last night in the basement" song is Now Comes the Night by Rob Thomas... I've thought about using it for a songfic for precisely that scene. I think someone made a Spuffy video out of it, on youtube somewhere that I'm too lazy to look for.

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No you will not be alone

And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be lonely
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid

When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
No I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down

Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains?
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
'Til the end of our days

I also think James Marsters' song Angel is a great season 6ish Spike-to-Buffy song (except for the obvious connotations with the title and a certain character). Makes me wonder if that's what he was thinking when he wrote it.

She comes home to me after a hard night's work
And falls into my arms and sleeps like a bird
And startled, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, “Who are you anyway, and what are you doing to me?”

She's an angel, but she can't see it
She’s got wings, she can't feel 'em
She's an angel, but she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day
Every day of my life

Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren't really hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all, all the people around her
Never even notice that she's very, very tired

LOL - people have asked him that, but it's actually about an ex-girlfriend.
