Close Your Eyes

Here's an interesting trivia question, I think.

When's the first time we hear Close Your Eyes.

I'm not sure, but I think I just heard it in Bad Eggs, when Buffy and Angel are smooching at her bedroom window.

Would the last time be I Will Remember You in Angel. There's a variation of it there too, isn't there?
 
I think so, it's their theme so it wouldn't be surprising if it turned up everytime they had a slushy moment together. Whether it be a variation or the original version. You know how the Empire in Star Wars has it's own music and everytime you see a scene to do with the Empire that music comes on? It's kinda like that.
 
Nifty...

So what was the first episode we heard close your eyes or a variation thereof? What was the last?
 
i'm sorry i know OMWF is a great buffy ep. But 'close your eyes' just blows it away. I'm still meaning t buy the 1st buffy soundtrack, which it is on
 
"close your eyes" truly is beautiful, there is very little to compare to it. it has so much in it, so much emotion, and it really does reflect the b/a reelationship in the most perfect manner. chris beck is a genius as he's brought buffy wonderful scores, i listen to them for hours sometimes, but "chose your eyes" tops everything on my scale. it's my favorite score on buffy, followed by the "chosen" score.
 
I tend to love the musical pieces within Buffy. I mean, I loved the Once More, With Feeling songs but I love the music within the episodes.

I loved Close Your Eyes, it was sad but it was beautifully done, superb job done there.

I also loved the one from The Gift...when she stares off the edge of the tower and sees the sun, gets the flashbacks and understands what she must do. How it continues until the very ending of the episode, I loved that.

I can't say which one I loved better, however.

Hey, does anybody know what the song from The Gift was, I just think it's beautifully done and it's a must have for me.

Extra Bit of Info: I love how that piano from the gift is in the season 6 scene selections...sometimes, I just leave it on that so I can listen! Hehe.
 
A quick search tells me it's called Sacrifice, it's by Chris Beck, and it's one of the extras on the Once More With Feeling Soundtrack album.

I like it. It's a very good song, very sad though. I think it portrayed the feelings of both characters very well for just being background music.

Musical score is NOT just background music. Sorry, I get very passionate about movie and TV scores. I much prefer them to the dreary songs that end up being used in some silly fashion.

I think "Clsoe Your Eyes" is a fine love theme, but when you just listen, it's the taddest bit overblown when the full synth orchestra comes in. But then you watch the episode and it works so well in context. It's a nice surprise to hear the theme when Angel returns for his cameo in Season 5, but it's missed in "Chosen". It's a pity Rob Duncan didn't use it.
 
I love this score it's truly beautiful. It's elegant it's romantic and it's sad at the same time everything i think buffy and Angel's relationship was.
 
Has anyone else noticed that Chris Beck replaced their love theme in Season 3? It can be heard in "One Last Look" as Angel leaves Sunnydale. I think I prefer it to "CYE". It's less over-the-top.
 
i love this piece of music 'Close your eyes' i think Christophe Beck is a really good composer and has done some really good music for Buffy.i listen to this piece of music all the time,i think it is a really emotional piece.i also really love the music called 'Sacrifice',it was used in the episode 'The Gift',which again goes really well for that episode.i think 'Close your eyes' portrays Buffy and Angels love for eachother really well.i think Christophe Beck composes really good music that fits perfectly for Buffy.
 
christopher beck composed the background music when buffy is jumping from that tower at the gift, and when she is walking to receive that class protector umbrella at the prom. really beautiful songs...
 
Close you eyes was amazing, and still is. Over the top of the visuals on the show, or just on its own as a piece of music, both ave very powerful emotional effect.
 
I love it... I memorized the notes and I can play it on my flute. My mother always makes me play it in front of guests or relatives when they come over and they always ask me what it is and what it's from and I'm like "It's called Close Your Eyes, by Christophe Beck, and it's the Bangel love theme!" and I get stared at like I'm a giant cockroach or an alien or something.
 
I just listened to it not too long ago! It is a really good song! The thing that is bothering me is, Who is it by??

quote ladybug: "It's called Close Your Eyes, by Christophe Beck, and it's the Bangel love theme!" :). he is in charge of all the buffy music i think...not sure if thats true from the beginning, but he definetely did 'close your eyes'.
I actually had the song on my myspace for the longest time. It's really sweet and tender and usually since I can picture the scenes while the music playing I kind of cry a little bit. But it's a little more emotional for me when I actually am playing the episode.
 
its a beautiful song, but i think that the later scores from Buffy were improved and really had emotion in them, like Sacrifice from the Gift and the final fight music,
but yeah, this song is so pretty, I think maybe this music didnt have as much of an effect on me as the other 2 songs because this song was constantly played when Buffy and Angel had an emotional scene.. which was pretty much, a lot 😛
But yeah, very beautifully written
