BSV Forum - General - The Bloodshedpub Songs that remind you ... May 18 2007 03:25 am #1Unbridled_Brunette Something like this might have been posted before, but if it was, I didn't see it, so I decided to go ahead and ask. What song(s) remind you of the Spuffy relationship and why? What song(s)s remind you of the characters and why? Yes, I am kind of bored at the moment. :P Right offhand, these are the ones that remind me. Songs that reminds me of Spuffy: November Rain by Guns n' Roses; Colorblind by Counting Crows; The Sweetest Thing by U2; and Every You, Every Me by Placebo Song that reminds me of Spike: Landslide by Tori Amos (cover of Fleetwood Mac); Creep by Radiohead; and Battle Flag by Low Fidelity All Stars (obviously, this last one pertains more to evil Spike) Song that reminds me of Buffy: Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band, and These Days by Nico (I can't think of any others for Buffy right now, but I'm sure something else will come to me.) So, what are everyone else's choices?

May 18 2007 05:43 am #2Scarlet Ibis Reminds me of canon Spuff: "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails Reminds me of Spike: "My Plague" by Slipnot Reminds me of Buffy's thoughts about Spike (s7): "Other Side of the World" by Luther Vandross. Damn, don't get me started- it was hard enough stopping there... "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." https://www.facebook.com/FangirlNovel May 18 2007 02:16 pm #4Scarlet Ibis lol, yeah... but you gotta admit, it fits- verbatim. It sounds like a conversation between the two to me. "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." https://www.facebook.com/FangirlNovel Muse with "Sunburn" or "Time is running out" or "Hysteria"....beautiful British band with beautiful songs...I loooooooooooove them so much! Just listen to the amazing lyrics! They´r all very emotional, at least from my point of view...a lot of gutitar and base...but nevertheless yust beautiful... Here some extracts from my Muse- Spuffy- Songs: "Time Is Running Out" "Hysteria" "Sunburn" "Sunburn" hahahahaaaa....so many mistakes....of course i know how to spell "guitar" and "just" May 18 2007 09:42 pm #7Unbridled_Brunette MOa, great picks. Muse is one of my favorite bands. I could listen to the song Starlight forever. And you're right, the lyrics to your choices are very fitting.

May 19 2007 02:53 pm #8Kimmyadams At this time, the only things I can think of for spuffy songs are be Evanesence because I have a lot of spuffy vids to that group's songs: My Immortal Hello Bring me to life? can't rem that one exactly but I love that group.... Kim Adams Kimmy buffy: Azure ray - displaced , Robyn - Eclipse Spike: Bright eyes - Arinette , Tom Mcrae - Vampire heart Spuffy: Gosling - cat people, Natalie merchant - My skin
Robyn - Eclipse There's an eclipse in your eye
Arinette the fragile keep secrets Vampire Heart by Tom Mcrae
Darling, I'm lost,
Adrift in the dark I'm clutching your words to my vampire heart once more So let in the light, turn me to dust If it don't end in bloodshed, dear, It's probably not love Here we are, in the darkest place My reflection shows only your face Something is found Something is lost Went looking for clues in the streets of old New York And I spilled someone's blood I broke someone's heart again someone you know you're looking at him, my friend And the people in our lives We all leave behind Leave behind Here we are, in the darkest place To keep from forgetting I picture your face And i wonder While we count the cost Which is sweeter; Love or it's loss So i curse you, My vampire heart For letting me love you Love you For letting me love you From the start
Gosling - cat people
see these eyes so green I can stare for a thousand years cold,ailling the moon its been so long feel my blood enraged its just the fear of losing you don't you know my name you've been so long well you've been so long and I've been putting out fire with gasoline.... see these eyes so red, red like charcoal burning bright those who feel me know, pulled the plights and changed their minds you've been so long well you've been so long and Ive been putting out fire with gasoline putting out fire, with gasoline... still this pulsing I a plauge I call a heartbeat. just be still with me you wouldnt believe what I've been through you've been so long well you've been so long and I've been putting out fire with gasoline putting out fire, with gasoline... see these tears so blue an ageless heart that can never mend these tears can never dry a judgement made can never bend see these eyes so green I could stare for a thousand years just be still with me you wouldn't believe what Ive been through its been so long, where you been so long? and Ive been putting out fire with gasoline May 20 2007 01:40 am #10Unbridled_Brunette Is it weird that I've also come to associate Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with the Spike from seasons 5--7? :P

May 22 2007 09:24 pm #13Guest I was going to say Last request but someone else did so thats okay..... SHE May 24 2007 06:29 am #14goddess_hecate These Things by She Wants Revenge. I swear to God that song was written for Spike during season 6 May 25 2007 12:11 am #15pfeifferpack White Flag by Dido.....COMPLETELY Spuffy (and so ironic that she cast David Boneraz in the official video). I've seen a few really good Spuffy vids to it. Someone already mentioned Bring Me To Life. I'd love someone to do a good Spike/Dru vid to "Black Magic Woman" and wish I had the talent to do that. It was made for William being turned and trained by his mad sire. Another pure Spuffy song is Love Me When I'm Gone. Kathleen May 25 2007 02:08 am #16SpikesKatMac I think "Saving Me" by Nickelback is SO Spuffy. "Show me what it's like Doesn't that seem like it's Spike begging Buffy to help him be the man we all know he could be?

I agree with Scrlete Closer is one of my favs. and makes me think of them when I hear it as well as Muse.

"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." https://www.facebook.com/FangirlNovel May 27 2007 09:52 pm #21GoldenBuffy D'angelo, pass me the drool bucket, lol. And I love that video. I was listening to Alice n Chians and this song reminds me of them too, No Excuses. It's alright And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along May 28 2007 12:23 pm #22LadyYashka Here's a song by a guy I bet none of you ever thought would be on this list, Ozzy Osbourne's Lay Your World On Me. (album Black Rain released 2007) Here are the words. I thought they fit Buffy and Spike in Touched. Lay Your World On Me
Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters. — Neil Gaiman I guess I can see this song being in either Buffy or Spike's perspective, but mostly I see it in Buffy's during the distruction of their relationship in season six. Cold by Crossfade Looking back at me I see that I Jun 11 2007 10:11 pm #24chlarkspuffy She Drives Me Crazy by the Fine Young Cannibals is one that comes to mind when thinking about Spuffy. I was going to make a video to it but there's already one floating around on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dam9MD_Ub4 "If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now." - Zaphod Beeblebrox This song always reminds me of season five and six Spuffy. I heard it one day and instantly thought it was perfect. Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon Somewhere they’re speaking, But under skinned knees and the skid marks, He’s everything you want, You’re waiting for someone to put you together, He’s everything you want, Out of the island, He’s everything you want, I am everything you want, "Perhaps a great love is never returned." -Dag Hammersjold Feb 25 2008 07:37 pm #26TammyDevil666 Man, there are so many songs that remind me of Spuffy, I agree with a lot of the ones that have been mentioned. One that comes to mind is "Let it Go" by Fauxliage, it's such a great song and I already made a Spuffy video for it. I couldn't resist: www.youtube.com/watch When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you, and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy. Okay, so I gotta admit, this topic got me. As some of you know, I researched a lot of music that fits the Spuffy bit, since I put so many of them in the soundtrack for Origins (and hell, some of the others too). But there are others that I haven't actually used yet, but will. Among them: No Ordinary Love by Sade Love, Hate, Love by Alice in Chains (so very, very Spike) Moments in Love by Art of Noise I will find you -- Clannad (from the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack) I want you to want me -- Cheap Trick and I'm sure there's more stuff, I'm just fried (and home sick) so forgive me for not remembering. But again, if you've read anything by me, you know already how many songs I think apply to them. Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon ” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.” Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Feb 25 2008 09:02 pm #29Guest Totally my first post here but I had to jump in cause I do have the perfect song. (canon season 6 like perfect ) So here is David Bowie's Heroes: I, i will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can beat them, just for one day We can be heroes, just for one day And you, you can be mean And i, i'll drink all the time 'cause we're lovers, and that is a fact Yes we're lovers, and that is that Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day We can be heroes, for ever and ever What d'you say? I, i wish you could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be heroes, just for one day I, i will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be heroes, just for one day We can be us, just for one day I, i can remember (i remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame, was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes Just for one day We can be heroes We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik always made me think of Season Seven Spike once he was getting over being crazy. Can't copy the lyrics down right now but they really go with what Spike has to deal with from Buffy and his sacrifice and the music itself is pretty good. Feb 26 2008 02:33 am #31SpikesKatMac I also think "Love Song for a Vampire" would fit for Spuffy, post-Chosen; the longing, and the hopelessness; I would hope that is is how Buffy feels whenever she thinks about Spike. A beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain - Matthew Arnold Feb 26 2008 03:06 am #32Guest The song that always said Spuffy to me is The Dance by Garth Brooks Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance ~varin I have to agree with a lot of the choices mentioned above. I also have a few of my own, with snippets of lyrics: Lovin' You Against My Will - Gary Allan This one can apply to either s5 Spike or s6/7 Buffy. They really don't want to, but on the other hand, they really do want to. Your love is like a deep dark river Pullin' me out to sea The harder I try to resist you The weaker I seem to be I don't wanna feel your heartbeat I don't wanna taste your kiss I don't wanna call your name, I don't wanna call your name I don't wanna want you like this... I Wanna Feel Something - Trace Adkins It very much suits Buffy post-resurrection, but I don't just see it as a s6 song. It can apply to her at just about any point after s2, because that's when she really started to shut down. But it's also a very hopeful song, because she wants to feel again, she doesn't just want to be numb. I can't tell you 'cause I don't know how I got so cold When did I get so cold I just wanna feel somethin' Somethin' that's a real somethin' That moves me, that proves to me I'm still alive Run my fingers through your fingers, across your face and through your hair And close my eyes, and breathe you in like air... Don't Make Me - Blake Shelton Definitely Spike pleading with Buffy to let him in. This song and the previous one have become inextricably entwined in my head, to the point where I see them as two sides of one coin. Girl, when I look at you You look through me like I'm not even there I'm trying not to give up To be strong, but I'm afraid to say I'm scared I can't find the place your heart is hiding I'm no quitter, but I'm tired of fighting... The One - Gary Allan Maybe it's just me, but I listen to this, and all I can think of is devotion. And oh, Lord, it fits Spike like no other. No rush; though I need your touch I won't rush your heart Until you feel on solid ground Until your strength is found Girl~ I'll fill those canyons in your soul Like a river lead you home And I'll walk a step behind In the shadows so you shine Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Somebody else was here before He treated you unkind And broken wings need time to heal Before a heart can fly Girl~ I'll fill those canyons in your soul Like a river lead you home And I'll walk a step behind In the shadows so you shine Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true All I want to do is give the best of me to you And stand beside you Just ask, it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" (Yeah, I can't help but think of "Touched".) Feb 26 2008 05:20 am #34Scarlet Ibis Taking it back old school with this one. Well, my old school, anyway...Backstreet Boys' "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely." Totally a Spike song. Show me the meaning of being lonely So many words for the broken heart It's hard to see in a crimson love So hard to breathe Walk with me, and maybe Nights of light so soon become Wild and free I could feel the sun Your every wish will be done They tell me [Chorus:] Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with? Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say forever gaze upon me Guilty roads to an endless love (endless love) There's no control Are you with me now? Your every wish will be done They tell me [Chorus] There's nowhere to run I have no place to go Surrender my heart, body, and soul How can it be You're asking me To feel the things you never show? You are missing in my heart Tell me why I can't be there where you are "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." https://www.facebook.com/FangirlNovel Feb 26 2008 11:57 am #35LadyYashka This thread popped up at the right time. I just got a new CD and it has the perfect Spike/Buffy song for their relationship in season six. It's Seether's FMLYHM off of Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. Here are the lyrics: You could have been the real one You could have been the one enough for me You could have been the free one The broken down and sick one A remnant of a vacant life You'll come around when you find me faithless You'll come around when you find me faceless Fuck me like you hate me, dig it up, tear it down Dig it up and whore me out Fuck me like you hate me, dig it up, tear it down I love the sound when you come undone You could have been the next one You could have been the one to comprehend me You could have been the only one, the broken down and sick one You could have been the one who I lie with You'll come around when you finally face this You'll come around when you find me faceless Fuck me like you hate me, dig it up, tear it down Dig it up and whore me out Fuck me like you hate me, dig it up, tear it down Don't make a sound 'til I come undone You'll never break me You could have been the real one You could have been the last one I lie with You could have been the owned one I should have been the one who died Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters. — Neil Gaiman Oh, this is a such a great topic! The song that says "Buffy" to me is "Top of the World" by the Dixie Chicks. Another song that I feel works so well from Buffy's perspective is "Best I Ever Had" sung by Gary Allan. Of course, that might be due to the fact that I first heard the song in a Spuffy video. For Spike, "I Can't Stand Losing You" by the Police, "My Dark Life" by Elvis Costello, "Bob" by NOFX, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. What else? Oh, yes. "Within You" by David Bowie. That song could be Spike's whole treatise on his relationship with Buffy. How you turned my world, you precious thing You starve and near exhaust me Everything I've done, I've done for you I move the stars for no one You've run so long, you've run so far Your eyes can be so cruel Just as I can be so cruel Though I do believe in you Live without your sunlight Love without your heartbeat I can't live within you And it might be a bit obvious, but "London Calling" by the Clash makes me think of Spike, because I first heard of them when I read a Spuffy fic. And the lyrics, the attitude, the pure poetry of the song...it's Spike, if Spike were a quality or state of being. Now for the oh-so thorny tangle that is Spuffy. "You Don't Know What Love Is" by the White Stripes. "Aprodisiac" by Bow Wow. "Sin Wagon" by the Dixie Chicks. "We Bury the Hatchet (But Leave the Handle Sticking Out" by Garth Brooks. "Dirty Little Secret" by the All-American Rejects. "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon. "Goodbye to You" by Michelle Branch. Oh, and Unbridled Brunette, I get the "Bohemian Rhapsody." I once read this really great fic where Giles ruminated that Spike and Buffy were opera: soaring melodies and moody interludes, raucous percussion and the occasional humourous episodes. If anyone remembers reading that, can you tell me what it is? I want to read it again. "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead!"--Giles, "Dead Man's Party' Jul 07 2008 10:18 pm #38Guest Hi, this is my first post here, but i just wanted to say that i totally agree with most of the Evanesence songs already posted, especially "Haunted." i read a really good song fic to that one a while back, i think it was by Coquine. One artist i've found has written song that remind me of Buffy and Spike is Ani DiFranco. She is hands down the coolest person in existence (okay, tied with Joss). Some of her songs kinda fit in with Buffy at the end of s7, like "Swan Dive" and "Done Wrong." For the whole Spuffy aspect, the songs "Second Intermission", "Gravel", and "Modulation" fit in really well. I was listening to one of her earlier albums the other day when i found a song called "Light of Some Kind" that kinda fits in with the Satsu storyline: wish i didn't have this nervous laugh wish i didn't say half the stuff i say wish i could just learn to cover my tracks guess i'm not concerned enough about getting away with it every time i try to hold my tongue it slips like a fish from the line they say if you're gonna play you should learn how to play dumb guess i can't bring myself to waste your time 'cuz we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying and you're the only one i ever let see thru me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying i hope i never improve my game i would rather have these things weigh on my mind 'cuz at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind musta blown a fuse or something it was so dark in my mind she came up to me with the sweetest face and she was holding a light of some kind and i still think of you as my boyfriend i don't think this is the end of the world maybe you should follow my example and go meet yourself a really nice girl we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying and you're the only boy i ever let see thru me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying i hope i never improve my game i would rather have these things weigh on my mind 'cuz at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind in the end the whole world comes down to just a few people for you it comes down to one but nobody ever asked me if i thought i could be everything to someone there's a crowd of people harbored in every person there are so many roles that we play you've decided to love me for eternity and i'm still deciding who i want to be today we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying and you're the only boy i ever let see thru me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying i hope i never improve my game i would rather have this thing weigh on my mind 'cuz at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind give me a light of some kind i want a light of some kind Peace and Hugs Jul 07 2008 11:49 pm #39Guest Spuffy: Trapt - Use Me to Use You Alanis Morissette - Head over Feet Hoobastank - The Reason Spike: Disturbed - Meaning of Life, Violence Fetish, Voices & Conflict Simple Plan - Untitled Jul 08 2008 12:55 am #40Guest everytime I hear this song I can just picture spike singing it to buffy at the end of season six right before he leaves, yes I know its corney but hay at least the singers are real cockneys, the songs, no pleasing you, by Chaz and Dave WOT can I help it if my taste in music stinks lol Jul 08 2008 04:58 pm #41Guest I always wanted to make a Spuffy/Spike video involving a lot of season seven with the song Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik, but I can never find the time. I think the song is sad and beautiful and really shows Spike's feelings about the relationship after the violence and resentment in it was leached away, and during the quiet, pain-filled time in season six, and definitely as he wore the amulet. I know what you’re doing, I see it all to clear I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears You really had me going, wishing on a star But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born There’s not much to examine, there’s nothing left to hide You really can’t be serious if you have to ask me why I say good-bye... ‘Cause I am barely breathing And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price The price that I would pay Everyone keeps asking, what’s it all about? I used to be so certain and I can’t figure out What is this attraction? I only feel the pain There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame Will it ever change? ‘Cause I am barely breathing And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price The price that I would pay But I’m thinking it over anyway... I’ve come to find I may never know Your changing mind Is it friend or foe? I rise above Or sink below With every time You come and go Please don’t come and go ‘Cause I am barely breathing And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price The price that I would pay But I’m thinking it over anyway Great July 2008 song additions - I have also been wanting for the longest time to get my vid completed - can't help but think of "Tabula Rasa" and that great line about Kittens-Cats and Time by Shark. Going way back, I like Spike connected to Buffy with the Billie Holiday rendition of "You're My thrill" by Jay Gorney&Sidney Clare ” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.” Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. OK, I see some of my favourites are already here but I've got a few more: Amazing by Aerosmith I love that song. For me it says how Spike sees the world in new light "with the blink of an eye"(when he falls in love with Buffy). And I love the "life's a journey not a destination" part. It will be good for them both to understand that. Bitch by Meredith Brooks It sounds bad I bet but it reminds me of Buffy and what she is for Spike-"I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between, you know you wouldn't want it any other way" Are you Gonna Be My Girl by Jet Well, we all know that's what Spike has always wanted to ask Buffy. To the Moon And Back by Savage Garden I can just picture Spike telling Buffy "I'll fly to the moon and back if you be if you be my babe" Guilty by Blue It has to be written for Spike. Hot by Avril It's very season6-Spuffy. And the part "I wanna lock you up in my closet" is so season7-Spuffy We Are The Champions by Queen For me that's the perfect Spike & Angel-our champions-(NOT like a couple-eeewww) song but it works out for Buffy & Spike too. Fool For Your Lovin' by Whitesnake The song Spike should sing to Drusilla and Buffy and then kick them out (but he is too much of a gentleman and FOOL FOR LOVE). But I still love to think of him saying the words-"fool for your lovin' no more".
We Are The Champions by Queen For me that's the perfect Spike & Angel-our champions-(NOT like a couple-eeewww) song but it works out for Buffy & Spike too. would make a great vid - ” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.” Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Seems like there are quite a few songs that fit Spuffy out there. I have a few suggestions as well (sorry if some of these have been mentioned before, I only skimmed the thread). For Season 6: Boiler - Limp Bizkit Fits pretty well with the way Spike acted after he attacked Buffy in her bathroom, especially the almost schizophrenic way he talks to himself. Looks like I'm 'a do everything myself Maybe I could use some help But hell, you want something done right You gotta do it yourself Maybe life is up and down But, my life's been what to now? I crawled up your butt from hell And that's when things got turned around It used to be a lie And now it feels pathetic And now I get it What's done is done You just leave it alone And don't regret it Sometimes some things turn into dumb things And that's when you put your foot down Why did I have to go and meet somebody like you? (like you) Why do you have to go and hurt somebody like me? (like me) How could you do somebody like that You know that I'm never coming back Looks like I'm 'a do everything myself Maybe I could use some help But hell, if you want something done right You just do it yourself Got it? Maybe life is up and down But, but my life's been what to now? Got it? I crawled up your butt somehow Got it? And that's when shit got turned around It used to be a lie So pathetic But now I get it What's done is done I know, you just leave it alone And don't regret it But sometimes some things turn into dumb things And that's when you put your foot Why did I have to go and meet somebody like you? (like you) Why do you have to go and hurt somebody like me? (like me) How could you do somebody like that You know that I'm never coming back Depending on you is done (is done) Giving to you is done No more eating, no sleeping, no living It's all just what giving to you and I'm done (and I'm done) But hiding from you is done (is done) But lying from you is done No more eating, no sleeping, no living It's all just what giving to you and I'm done (and I'm done) Why did I have to go and meet somebody like you? (like you) Why do you have to go and hurt somebody like me? (like me) How could you do somebody like that You know that I'm never coming back But why? Why? For Seasons 6+7 and AtS 5: My Immortal - Evanescence Not usually a fan of Evanescence but I thought this perfect for Buffy and Spike's relationship throughout the final Seasons of BtVS and AtS - not counting BtVS S8, which doesn't exist to me - In fact it almost seems like a duet at times. I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all of my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave Because your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I've held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me You used to captivate me By your resonating light But now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I've held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone And though you're still with me I've been alone all alone When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I've held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me For AtS Season 5: Hold on - Limp Bizkit I thought it fit in with Spike's mood, particularly after he saw Buffy dance with the Immortal You keep your distance I can't deny you I got the feeling Can't satisfy you I got your picture on the wall I got the picture long gone You keep your wishes I'll keep my feelings There goes along the one That kept me breathing I'm waiting for you I know you're leaving I still adore you You never need me Hold on. I've found another way to let you go Away Hold on. You've found another way to bleed my soul Away The things you told me To hear you speak I'm burning slowly I'm growing weak You bring me closer to yesterday Yesterday's a million miles away Why can't you hear me? Why can't I see you? And I don't understand What keeps me breathing I'm waiting for you I know you're leaving I'll still adore you You'll never need me Hold on. I've found another way to let you go Away Hold on. You've found another way to bleed my soul Away For Season 6 and Spuffy-general: Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit Yes, I know it's a cover, but I just know the Bizkit version. Anyway, I think the lyrics are self-explanatory No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes And no one knows What it's like to be hated To be fated to telling only lies But my dreams they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what its like To feel these feelings Like i do, and i blame you! No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through No one knows what its like To be mistreated, to be defeated Behind blue eyes No one knows how to say That they're sorry and don't worry I'm not telling lies No one knows what its like To be the bad man, to be the sad man Behind blue eyes. Spuffy general/post Chosen: Come Undone - Vanessa Carlton Has a very Buffy-post-Chosen feel to it. Couldn't find the lyrics to this or the next song, but I can wholly recommend them anyway. Truly fantastic music... for soft, girlie men like me anyway. Home - Vanessa Carlton Though the lyrics don't seem to fit Spuffy very much, I always got a very Spuffy feel from this song. Perhaps it's the chorus of "Even now I'm alone, I've always known, with you I am home." which Ilike to associate with Spike coming back to Buffy repeatedly. Ah, that's the stuff! Slayer musk, it's bitter and aggravating! Bump for C. :) Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat. Sep 16 2008 03:43 am #47Always_jbj Thanks, sweetie! I think this one suits S6 Buffy so well... Love me back to life This world don't give you nothing it can't take away Everybody holding on to something Nobody wants to fade away No forgiveness on the streets of this town I left my patience at a traffic light There's no denying that I almost lost it Threw in the towel, too tired to fight Tonight I need you More than yesterday Tonight I need you Chorus: Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come on make me feel it Rescue me tonight Love me back to life These days I'd trade sight for feeling There are days my feeling's gone Can't figure out whose life I'm living I don't know right from wrong When I lost my faith You found it then gave it back to me There's a new light on your halo; it took blind eyes to see That I need you More than yesterday Yeah, I need you Chorus: Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come on make me feel it Rescue me tonight Love me back to life Guitar Solo Chorus: Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come on make me feel it Rescue me Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come on make me feel it Rescue me tonight Love me back to life Love me back to life Love me back to life Aim from the heart Some will love and some will curse you, baby You can go to war But only if you have to Fanfic ~*~ Artwork ~*~ Live Journal Wow, awesome thread. Tons of songs remind me of Spuffyness or the show in general, or Angel, particularly if I hear them after watching an ep or delving into some fanfic. I just heard a new song on the radio which did but missed the name. Tell It Like It Is - Aaron Neville http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jM5U_Q018s snippet: If you are serious Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious But if want me to love you Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will Tell it like it is Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide But I know deep down inside of me I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride Life is too short to have sorrow You may be here today and gone tomorrow You might as well get what you want So go on and live, baby, go on and live Tell it like it is ** Heart Shaped Bruise - Elvis Costello Tell me now, or am I only dreaming? Tell me now, or are you only teasing? I felt the cold hard facts of life Five degrees from freezing Does it amuse you to always hurt me so? I try my best, it's not enough Should I give up and let you go? There's nothing more to take from me There's nothing more to give you dear There's nothing else that I can lose Except this heart-shaped bruise The Reason, by Hoobastank (there's a vid on Youtube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9j6PSPi6Lc I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears Thats why i need you to hear I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is You Thought of another... Poison, the Groove Coverage version. I do like the vid but I would have done different scenes with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIFdRbvD55A&feature=related Your cruel device your blood, like ice One look, could kill My pain, your thrill... I wanna love you but I better not touch I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison Your poison running through my veins Your poison I don't wanna play these games (I wanna love you but I, but I better not) Poison Your mouth, so hot Your web, I'm caught Your skin, so wet Black lace, on sweat I hear you calling and it's needles and pins I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison Your poison running through my veins Your poison I don't wanna break these chains My fiance has over 1300 songs on his computer and I had the winamp on random while I was browsing some Spuffy, when "Crazy In Love" by Eminem came on. And WOW, does it ever embody a lot of Season 6, especially if you like the idea that Buffy did love Spike at the time but it was just too fucked up for her to admit it, or that Spike was not in fact Price Charming during this time. Different parts of the lyrics can describe both POVs, too. Crazy In Love by Eminem, sampled "Crazy In Love" by Blondie Tell myself that I was doing alright There's nothin' left to do at night but To go crazy on you, crazy on you Lemme go crazy, crazy on you Can't you see what you do to me baby? You make me crazy, you make me act like a maniac. I'm like a lunatic, you make me sick You're truly are the only one who can do this to me You just make me get so crazy. I go schitzo, I get so insane I just go schizophrenic One minute I want to slit your throat, the next I'm wanting sex. You make me crazy, the way we act like two maniacs in the sack We fuck like two jackrabbits and maybe that's a bad habit. Cuz the next day we're right back at it, in the same exact pattern What the fuck is the matter with us, we can't figure out if it's lust Or it's love what's that is attracting us to each other They say that every man grows up to marry his own mother. Which would explain why you're such a motherfucking bitch But I stay and still stick it out with you even though I just hit you today But you deserved it you hit me first and provoked me to choke you Just cuz I came home late last night crawled in bed and I woke you. But if there's one thing about you that I admire, it's baby Because you stick with me, maybe cause you're as crazy as I am Cuz when I look at you I can see an angel in your eyes But if I look deeper inside I see your freakish little side. Like a devil in disguise, you're always full of surprises Always pullin' devices out your purse, little vibrators and dildos You fucked yourself so much you barely feel those anymore You're only 24 but you're plenty more mature Than those other little hos who just act like little girls Like they're in middle school, still you're crazysexycool, chillin You play your position, you never step out of line Even though I stay in your business, you've always kept out of mine. I wonder whats on your mind Sometimes they say love is blind Maybe that's why the first time I dotted your eye You ain't see a sign. Or maybe you did, maybe you like me inside Maybe cuz we're crazy in love Crazy on you Crazy on you Lemme go crazy, crazy on you You are the ink to my paper, what my pen is to my pad The moral, the very fiber, the whole substance to my rap. You are my reason for being, the meaning of my existence If it wasn't for you, I would never be able to spit this, these sentences I do And the irony is you rely on me as much As I rely on you to inspire me like you do. You provide me the lighter fluid, the fuel to my fire You're my entire supply gas, the match, the igniter. The only way that I am able to stay so stable is you're the legs to my table If you were to break I'd fall on my face. But I'm always going to make you feel I don't need you as much as I really need you So you don't use it to your advantage. But you're essential to me, you're the air I breathe I believe if you ever leave me I'd probably have no reason to be. You are the Kim to my Marshall, you're the Slim to my Shady The Dre to my Eminem, the Elaina to my Hailey. You are the word I am looking for when I'm trying to describe how I feel inside And the right one just won't come to my mind. You're like the pillar that props me up, the beam that supports me The bitch who never took half, the wife who never divorced me. You're like the root to my evil You let my devil come out me You let me beat the shit out you Before you beat the shit out me. And no matter how much Too much is never enough Maybe cuz we're crazy in love I'm Crazy on you Crazy on you Lemme go crazy, crazy on you | |||
