So when Spike and Buffy are bringing down the house at the end, all their noise stops and a song starts, but no where on any Buffy pages I have found has said what that song is called. Is it probably just something the production crew wrote for the show, or does someone know if its an actual song that I could find somewhere.

Thanks!
 
its like a choir type of thing not actual singing with words. its still good though. I've never been able to find out what its called either but i have wondered if that music from during smashed is re-tooled for the 'love theme' during the final fight (when only spike and buffy are left in the hell mouth). As much as i love my Buffy CDs, I wish there was a cd like the Angel one with the score from the show.
 
Someone said something about this music in the DVD, but I don't really remember who or what. But I think it was "written" for this scene. I'll go look for the info.
 
You mean there was singing during the hottest love scene in the entire series, and I missed it?

I'm not usually a prude or anything, but for some reason I found the sex scene in this episode to be a little disturbing and twisted. I did find it cool how they continued to go at it while the entire building collapsed around them, but other than that...erm...

Maybe I should rewatch that episode soon, see if my opinion has changed...

I think the whole point of the "bringing the house down" scene was to illustrate the fact that, at that moment in her life, the last thing Buffy wanted, and perhaps needed, was another sweet, romantic love affair. For the first time, the Slayer needed pure raw passion to bring her back to life, and, just maybe to transfer the hate she felt toward her friends for bringing her back into a bright, noisy life, and there was certainly no one more capable of providing it than Spike. Certainly and without any doubt he loved her, but the only way he had of expressing that love was with a raw, rough, animalistic coupling. Remember, William grew up in a time when gentlemen and ladies had no sexual experience before marriage (granted, there were professionals available, but William the Poet would have been the type of man who would not avail himself of such base activities.) Almost certainly, Spike's only sexual experience was with Drusilla, with the possibility of Darla and Angelus tossed into the mix on occasion. He simply had no idea what romantic love was, so he gave Buffy exactly what she needed at that time: escape from the responsibilities and pain of the real world.

Arguably, an ensouled Spike the next season was a completely different vampire, but that is not part of the discussion here (neither is the subject of this post, really, but I'm not the one who was disturbed by the scene. This is only my attempt to give my view of it.)
 
Well, it's really a tune. I looked through the tunes of the composer's ( Christophe Beck I think was the name of the major one ) but it wasn't mentioned.

If you want to see the music list of Buffy, you can go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffyverse_tracklist

It includes all the songs. The composers had another page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buffyverse_cast_and_crew#Composers
(look at the bottom where it says composers 😛 )

This is how I found the tune from "Restless" and "Out of This World" by Bush. 🙂 I was so happy about it!
