Character Theme Songs

I'm usually good at this, but I'm hitting a block for some reason. The only one I can think of right now is Kelly Clarkson's Addicted for Spuffy S6. It's a great song for them, because it can be from either perspective and still be completely accurate.


"It's like you're a drug,
It's like you're a demon I can't face down,
It's like I'm stuck,
It's like I'm running from you all the time,
And I know I let you have all the power,
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around."
 
I have songs that I think would be absolutely perfect for Spuffy, Spaith, Twillow, Xanya, oh, and I have a real dandy that describes Bangel perfectly. But having read the entries that everyone else has posted, and having no idea what a single one of them is, I think that I'll just stick with my own Broadway show tunes and classic C&W songs and let you all wonder.

(One that I will share with you, though, and feel free to laugh if you want to, assuming that you can even find it anywhere, is the song that I would pick for Spike and Faith. "Two Lost Souls" from the Broadway musical and movie, "Damn Yankees." Now, go ahead, laugh at the old man all you want to)
 
These two are unoriginal:

Bangel: "Full of Grace"/"In The Arms of the Angel" - Sarah MacLaughlin

Spuffy's Tumultuous Times: "Goodbye To You" - Michelle Branch

These are Slightly Less Unoriginal:

Dander: "Dangerous" - James Marsters
The fandom's theory on "Dangerous" is that Marsters wrote it about Michelle (Dawn), so it's kind of perfect either way.

Angelus: "When You're Evil"
I'm unfamiliar with the artist, but the YouTube music video for Angelus is just too perfect. Something tells me the artist is a Buffyverse fan.

"When You're Evil" is by Voltaire.

re Dangerous, JM said so

Emzzie
haha, that is the theme song for the Joss'd podcast.

I always thought that song is made for Angelus!
Everytime I hear the song "Chinese Burn" by Curve I think of Faith from "Bad Girls". So if Faith had her own show i'd want her theme to be "Chinese Burn".
:]
 
So, this might make me seem like that weird country girl but I really think that the song "I'm Moving On" by the Rascal Flatts is pretty much perfect for Angel. But I don't know what everyone else thinks.

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
 
Meep! I just thought of one I really really love. I don't know if it's original, BUT I think Faith's song is...

"Don't Let Me Get Me" by P!nk

Now I really want to see a video for this... anyone with artistic talent at this want to make one? 😀

Oh that is so a Faith song!
A couple of songs that remind me of Angel 🙂

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcoP8c7pNVc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcoP8c7pNVc[/ame]

To me this Angel post Amends.

Cuz there's a monster living under my bed,
Whispering in my ear.
And there's an angel,
With her hand on my head,
She says I got nothing to fear.

But there's a darkness,
Living deep in my soul,
It still got a purpose to serve.

So let your light shine,
Deep into my hole.
Oh God don't let me lose my nerve.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1sroSO4BEg&feature=PlayList&p=CA8AC55BFDB97657&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=40"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1sroSO4BEg&feature=PlayList&p=CA8AC55BFDB97657&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=40[/ame]

I think this song embodies Angel's whole journey but especially his descent in S2 of his own show.

What on earth is going on in my heart
Has it turned as cold as stone
Seems these days I don't feel anything
Less it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart

My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my

What on earth is going on in my head
You know I used to be so sure
You know I used to be so definite
Thought I knew what love was for
I look around these days and I'm not so sure

My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my you know I just can't win
I burn it down it comes right back again
What kinda world is this we're living in
where you never win
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love these days
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep your spirit free

My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my it just don't stop
My oh my it just don't stop
My oh my it just don't stop
 
Spuffy: Lovegame by Lady Gaga
Spuffy: Sweet Dreams by Beyonce

Spike: For some reason, I always think of the song Gigolo by Nick Cannon. 😀

Buffy (And ALL her relationships): Easy by Paula DeAnda
 
This is a very old song (even older than me) from a style that I'm certain that the majority of the members are not fans, but I just heard it, and it reminded me immediately of Season 6 Spuffy. The title is "Cold, Cold Heart," By Hank Williams.

Song: Cold, Cold Heart
Album: 20 of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits
Hank Williams Jr Sheet Music
Hank Williams Jr CDs



I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are spoke that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life,to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
 
Bangel

For their remarkable love:
Power of Love by Celine Dion
Everything I do(I do it for you) by Bryan Adams
When Sorrow Sang by Blind Guardian (perhaps it would fit when Buffy died and Angel finds out), also Tears of an Angel by Ryandan for the same reason
Lips of an Angel by Hinder
Bring me to life(from Angel to Buffy) by Evanescence
My immortal by Evanescence (from Buffy to Angel)
River flows in you by Yiruma, which is a very sweet,powerful and sad piece of music which is perfect for their starcrossed and doomed love
also "Astral Romance" and "Come cover me" by Nightwish are both nice for those two <3

I don't know why but Everybody's fool by Evanescence somehow depicts the way Buffy feels in Season 6, after she comes back and she realises she literally fell from Heaven.
For Buffy's character,overall, I would choose "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera.And perhaps "Circus" by Britney Spears.
 
A song that always reminds me of Spaith for some reason is Yeah by Usher... 😀

As for some more Spuffy songs, I can think of Love Game by Lady Gaga and Sweet Dreams by Beyonce. 😀
 
For Spike, Peroxide by the Subhumans. I don't think the lyrics really go with him, but it's a punk song and it's about peroxide hair so it seemed to apply 😛

Peroxide girl with a false ID
Lost and lonely she can t see
Peroxide hair and burnt out eyes
Blinded by so many lies

[Chorus:]
Peroxide! Peroxide!
Because nobody cares?
What do you do?
You dye your hair

Her hair was just a boring mess
She had never known success
Saw the punks they didn t care
Walked around with peroxide hair

[Chorus]

Now she s out of trouble cos her hair is white
And the punks all think she s all right
But she is blind her face is red
Peroxide soaked into her head
 
Buffy: Stop Your Sobbing - (The Kinks)
Spike: Crash (Into Me) - (Dave Matthews Band)


I'll do more later, maybe
 
Buffy is Superwoman 🙂

As always, I'm pimping Buffy/Faith with Muse's Undisclosed Desires. It's what I imagine Buffy would like to say to Faith.

You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8OOWcsFj0U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8OOWcsFj0U[/ame]

Sing for Absolution is a great one for both Fuffy and Faith herself.

Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful

Tip toe to your room
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
And you never knew

Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace

Hysteria is another good Muse song for Fuffy.

And I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

Away from Muse, My Favourite Game by The Cardigans fits Wesley/Lilah very well.

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

The first song is sexy and perfectly fit for them. :)
The Song "Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo really applies to both Spuffy and Bangel, but mostly Spuffy:

Halo by Bangel also describes both Spuffy and Bangel, but more so Spuffy, I believe...

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqp8AkZxuxg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqp8AkZxuxg[/ame]

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Wow, it's remarkable how many songs describe both Spuffy AND Bangel... 😀 Like, for y'all who have watched Pirates of the Caribbean, this quote pretty much describes it: "This is either madness, or brilliance." "It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." 😀
