Songs that remind you ...
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?
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...

lol, yeah... but you gotta admit, it fits- verbatim. It sounds like a conversation between the two to me.

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"
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted........................
"Hysteria"
It's bugging me, grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah I'm endlessly caving in
And turning inside out
'cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control..............
"Sunburn"
"Sunburn"
Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show
A guilty conscience grows
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons make no mistake
Come let the truth be shared
No-one ever dared
To break these endless lies
Secretly she cries
She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons make no mistake
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
I can't face the shame
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
I can't face the shame
MOa from Germany
hahahahaaaa....so many mistakes....of course i know how to spell "guitar" and "just"
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.
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
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
where I used to shine
Every secret untold
is a planet aligned
Don't need prophets or preachers
to make sense of the signs
When the buried and hidden can be seen by the blind
You're right
Some words are just unspoken
So right
Then it all just falls apart
The day I break your heart
I caught my reflection
in the corner of your eye
You said "Don't even ask the question,
and I won't tell the lie"
Where there's no accusation
there's no need for denial
And if you hadn't heard that whisper
there'd be no tear to wipe from your eye
You're right
Some words are best unspoken
So right
Then it all just falls apart
The day I break your heart
Never took no advice
Not the foolish, not the wise
All the truth that I needed
was right there in your smile
Every prophecy written of what's going to be
All beginnings and endings, they're about you and me
You're right
Some words are best unspoken
So right
Until it all just falls apart
You´re right
Some words are best unspoken
So right
Then it all just falls apart
The day I break your heart
Arinette
the fragile keep secrets
gathered in pockets
and they’ll sell them for nothing
a cheap watch or locket
that kind of gold washes off
and the sad act like lepers
they stick to the shadows
they long to ring bells of warning
to tell of their coming
so that the pure can shut their doors
and the angry are animals senseless and savage
they act without order in logical lapses
they stain their mouths with blood
so take my hand
this barren land is alive tonight
and the corn has grown
stalks that form a wall too high
but the wind carries sounds
that I can't see from beyond that line
then the stalks begin to sway
oh, stay with me Arienette
until the wolves are away
well, the wicked are vultures
and they bake in the canyons
they circle in sunlight
and wait for their victims
to collapse and call to them
the desperate are water
they’ll run down forever as they soak into silence,
mend up together in a dark and distant
dark and distant place
so don't leave me here
with only mirrors watching me
this house it holds nothing but the memories
and the moon it leaves silver but never sleep
and then the silver turns to gray
oh, stay with me Arienette
until the wolves are away
are away.
Vampire Heart by Tom Mcrae
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
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
Is it weird that I've also come to associate Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with the Spike from seasons 5--7? :P
Spuffy songs? Hmm.
Kissed by a Rose- Seal, It's not over-Daugherty(Can't remeber how to spell his name) This might sound weird but In the End- Linkin Park, It's been a while-Staind as well as Fade.
Okay where do i start?
Numb-Linkin Park
Right Kind Of Wrong-Leanne Rimes
Mr Brightside- Killers
Wherever You Will Go- The Calling
It's Not Over- Chris Daughtry
Hurt-Christina Aguilera
Accidentally In Love- Counting Crows
Caught in the Sun- Course of Nature
Roll To Me-Del Amitri
Bring Me To Life- Evanesence
Just The Way I'm Feeling- Feeder
Crawling- Linkin Park
In The End- Linkin Park
Somewhere I Belong- Linkin Park
Famous Last Words- My Chemical Romance
Far Away- Nickelback
Here Without You- Nickelback
How You Remind Me- Nickelback
Someday- Nickelback
Last Request- Paulo Nutini
Just Like A pill- Pink
The Bitch Song- Bowling For Soup
What Hurts The Most- Rascal Flatts
Truly Madly Deeply- Savage Garden
Iris- Goo Goo Dolls
There are others, and a lot of them may or may not make sense, but I've seen some really amazing Spuffy videos to some of them and now when I hear them all I can think of is spuffy lol.
Guest
I was going to say Last request but someone else did so thats okay.....
SHE
These Things by She Wants Revenge. I swear to God that song was written for Spike during season 6
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
I think "Saving Me" by Nickelback is SO Spuffy.
"Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me"
Doesn't that seem like it's Spike begging Buffy to help him be the man we all know he could be?
My Lover's Gone by Dido = This could be for either Spike or Buffy, when the other 'died'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l61cLp_dZHY
Black by Pearl Jam = Spike's perspective
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HufAvEZeSXs

Man in the Box by Alice in Chains = Spike in the Initiative
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFWkPVHKwCY
Here Without You by 3 Doors Down = Spike after Buffy died
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TPeR8Aq6BQ
The Reason by Hoobastank = Spike went and got his soul for her after hurting her
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjC9k7U0Wzc
Epiphany by Staind = Spike to Buffy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm9KBabovmc
The Flame by Cheap Trick = Spike to Buffy during Touched
Frozen by Madonna = Buffy's feelings were frozen when she returned from Heaven

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMBDEN5H-MA
I know there are more, but there are always more :D
Come to challengespuffy post Spuffy fic challenges or find something to write about
Buffy during s6: Imogen Heap- The Walk
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now, cos you and I were never meant to be
I think you better leave; it's not safe in here,
I feel a weakness coming on.
Alright then (Alright then) I could keep your number for a rainy day,
That's where this ends, no mistakes no misbehaving,
Oh, I was doing so well, can we just be friends,
I feel a weakness coming on.
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now; you're as close as it gets without touching me,
Oh no, don't make it harder than it already is,
Mmm, I feel a weakness coming on.
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.
Big trouble losing control,
Primary resistance at a critical low,
On the double gotta get a hold,
Point of no return one second to go,
No response on any level, red alert this vessels under siege,
Total overload, systems down, they've got control,
There's no way out, we are surrounded,
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it
Freeze, awake here forever, I feel a weakness coming on.
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, it's just what I don't need,
Why make me feel like this, it's definitely all your fault.
Ok, lets try this again, I lost everything I wrote, lol. I agree with Scrlete Closer is one of my favs. and makes me think of them when I hear it as well as Muse.
And here goes my picks:

Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Here's two that were never mentioned:
"Say Yes" by Floetry
...All you gotta do is say yes
Don't deny what you feel let me undress you baby
Open up your mind and just rest
I'm about to let you know you make me so...
Loving you has taken time, taken time
But I always knew you could be mine
I recognize the butterflies inside me
Sex is gonna be made tonight, tonight
All you gotta do is say yes...
"Untitled (How Does it Feel?)" by D'angelo (you should *really* see the video- the link is at the bottom...)
...And if you'll have me
I can provide
Everything that you desire
Said if you get a feeling
Feeling that I am feeling
Won't you come closer
To me baby
Then you've already got me where you want me baby
I just want to be your man
How does it feel?
...I wanna stop silly little games you and me play
And I'm feeling right on
If you feel the same way baby
Let me know right away (Let me know)
I'd love to make you wet
In between your thighs cause
I love when it comes inside you
I get so excited when I'm around you...
https://www.facebook.com/FangirlNovel
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
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
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
I know you think you're all alone
I haven't been there when you've needed me
I didn't deserve the love you gave
But now I'm telling you I'm here if you need a friend
Give me your pain
Give me your anger
Let me be your rock
I can be the pillar of strength that you need
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
I can take the weight
Don't let it twist you up inside
Time never fails to make the heartache stop
You've got to let those feelings go
I'll give you everything I can if you say the word
Give me your pain
Give me your anger
Let me be your rock
I can be the pillar of strength that you need
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
I can take the weight
We all laugh and we all cry
We all hurt the same inside
We all fall down and we lose faith in who we really are
But if we bend instead of break
The choice for us is to make it together
Lay your world on me
I'll help you keep it all together
It's better late than never
Lay your world on me
Lay your world on me
Lay your world on me
I can take the weight
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
Never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Somethin' strong like a drug that gets me
High
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so
Cold, to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own again
'Cause now I can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Somethin' strong like a drug that got me
High
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
I never meant to be
So cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say (Say)
Is I'm sorry for the way (Sorry for the way) I am
(I am) I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say (Say)
Is I'm sorry for the way (Sorry for the way) I am
(I am) I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
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

Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon
Somewhere they’re speaking,
Somewhere they’re coming in,
Oh and it’s rising in the back of your mind.
You never could get it,
Unless you were fed it,
Now you’re here,
And you don’t know why.
But under skinned knees and the skid marks,
Past the places where you use to learn,
You howl and listen,
Listen and wait for the,
Echoes of angels who won’t return.
He’s everything you want,
He’s everything you need,
He’s everything inside of you,
That you wish you could be.
He says all the right things at exactly the right time,
But he means nothing to you,
And you don’t know why.
You’re waiting for someone to put you together,
You’re waiting for someone to push you away,
There’s always another,
Wound to discover,
There’s always something more you wish he’d say.
He’s everything you want,
He’s everything you need,
He’s everything inside of you,
That you wish you could be.
He says all the right things at exactly the right time,
But he means nothing to you,
And you don’t know why.
But you’ll just sit tight,
And watch it unwind,
It’s only what you’re asking for,
And you’ll be just fine,
With all of your time,
It’s only what you’re waiting for.
Out of the island,
Into the highway,
Past the places where you might have turned,
You never did notice,
That you still hide away,
The anger of angels that won’t return.
He’s everything you want,
He’s everything you need,
He is everything inside of you,
That you wish you could be.
He says all the right things,
At exactly the right time,
But he means nothing to you,
And you don’t know why.
I am everything you want,
I am everything you need,
I am everything inside of you,
That you wish you could be,
I say all the right things,
At exactly the right times,
But I mean nothing to you,
And I don’t know why.
-Dag Hammersjold
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
Out of the island,
Into the highway,
Past the places where you might have turned,
You never did notice,
That you still hide away,
The anger of angels that won’t return.
This could sum up the entire Post Resurrection Arc - and Buffy-Angel-Spike triangle -
Brings to mind the comic season 8 No. 3 dreamspace image of these three chained together

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

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

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".)
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

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
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.

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

WOT can I help it if my taste in music stinks lol
Guest
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
Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
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".
would make a great vid -

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.
Moderator
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
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
You can go to war
But only if you have to
Fanfic ~*~ Artwork ~*~ Live Journal
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
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
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
