Lovin this thread! Ok:
Every time I hear "Dirty Little Secret" by All American Rejects, I always think about Xander and Cordelia in the beginning of their relationship: sneaking in closets, not telling their friends out of shame. Pretty funny!
"End Game" by (ironically enough) Anthony Stewart Head has always reminded me of G/J. The song is so sad, with almost stream of consciousness lyrics about losing the one you love and having so much left undone and unsaid. You can speculate that Giles and Jenny never consummated their relationship, or at least he never told her that he loved her. And she died when so much was left unresolved that the lyric, "wasn't meant to happen like this, need more time to make things right" always tugged at my heart strings. I could go on, but I'll stop myself.
Oddly enough, if I ever figured out how to make a fanvid, I would make one for Buffy and Spike to "Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy and here's why: The whole song has a lot of lyrics that remind of images from Buffy and Spike.
Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
---> Totally could use shots from I Was Made To Love You when Spike and Buffybot were having sex in the cemetery, and how he would say or do anything for her to give him a chance, but realizing that at least during their sexual relationship, she didn't really love him and he was just "another notch."
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
---> Spike is on the "wrong" team: evil
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
---> For the chorus, I'd use shots from Fool For Love with Spike holding the shotgun, so ready to just kill Buffy and be done with it. And in "Conversations With Dead People," Buffy is told she has a superiority complex, so that could be seen in the "God complex" bit, but it is more personified through Spike with the loaded shot gun.
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
---> The scene in "Chosen" where Spike watches as Buffy and Angel embrace would go great with the second line. And I'd end the vid with little clips of them, being all hateful, tension building, but ending it with that very soft, yet powerful sigh they both share together on Buffy's porch at the end of Fool For Love.
I know that's a lot, but to answer the question: Yes, when I hear songs I think of Buffy ships 🙂
