Music Questions

[SarahRegi]

i soo loved the music for S7, i feel it was created so perfectly for all the suspense and the upcoming great battle against all evil. it just fit so well, and not to mention the scene where Buffy is lying wounded on the ground of the hellmouth and then rises in slowmotion ready to beat the hell off the First Evil and the music playing right at that specific moment. it just made me go "ohhh yeah!!... here it comes!" :laughbounce:

what did you think about it?

[KingofCretins]

I know exactly the moment you are speaking of, and I love it even more when it switches from the triumphant hold-the-line feel at the moment when the amulet wakes up -- then it becomes a far more incredulous statement, with the strings still running underneath, but an entirely different mood.

[ThePoet's<3]

You are so right SarahRegi! The Overture is one of the loveliest I've heard written for Television. It does seem to run through every emotion! Several vid masters have some wonderful videos mastered to the Overture over at YouTube

[Thomas]

The scene with the First taunting Buffy after she was stabbed by an Ubervamp is one of my all-time favorite scenes from Buffy. The background music defiantly made that scene. It was so fitting because it said, "It's not over, we've got this!" It has a very triumphant feel to it.

[redrevo]

I may be mistaken but isn't that the music that plays in the menu on the DVDs? If so, ...wow. That's excellent, and to think that they put it in the menu, there must be more. Usually just some random music is put on the DVD menus (and most of the time it's not that good).

[KingofCretins]

The music on the DVD is the queued to the specific moment where Buffy stands up in slow motion, catches the scythe, and sweeps three ubervamps back over the side with it.

[ThePoet's<3]

Yes - that is the music in the backound of the DVD's.

Also the Overture from the "Restless" episode is awesome!!! I have a beautiful video where you can hear that overture in the background - it's a LOST vid and features the SKate 'Ship.

Trying to find "excerpts" of the music... Is anyone able to post? Not sure if posting vids would be appropriate...don't want to become 'Shippy.

[KingofCretins]

The "Restless" music such as one would find on the soundtrack to the musical? For a Skate? that's an interesting choice, PM me a link if nothing else.

[ThePoet's<3]

MMMmmm...probably thinking about two different things... do you have Season 7 sound track?

SKate as in Sawyer/Kate 'Ship. But if you liked to hear - I'll PM it to you anyway.:)

[Veverka]

AND! if you get one of the soundtrack cds, it's on it, and you can listen on your mp3 player while going for walks, etc. Agreed: love it, and I love that it's so easy to place- much of the background music stays in the background and has a lot less meaning, this is more in the vein of "full of grace", or "sugar water", etc. !

[SarahRegi]

the "Touch Me" song on Buffy

jeje i don't know if this question belongs here but i'm desperate to know. i forgot which epidose it was but there's a scene where Buffy talks about this song she used to like and listen to when she had a crush on this guy(i forgot his name in the show but he wanted to become a vampire to live eternally) back in her hometown in LA, she said something about touch me and i remember that song but i don't remember who sings it? does anyone know what i'm talking about? :confused:

[ykickamoocow]

Its the episode in the 2nd season when Buffy friend (Ford i think) comes back from her old High School and wants Spike to turn him into a vampire before he dies of cancer.

Edit: The song is call "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls

yes it was her old friend Ford. thanks for the titile and artist of the song! :)

[ykickamoocow]

Thats alright. You got to love a song about female masturbation. Or is that just me :)

[Ahm Shere]

The song was also sung by Cindy Lauper...that's the version I have on my iPod. :confused2: . It hasn't been mentioned, so I'll just say that the episode was called Lie To Me. :D

I dont know that version but the original was sung by Divinyls. Here is the song if anyone is interested

[This Year's Boy]

I also heard this song, but it I heard it from Eve 6

[SarahRegi]

:confused: jajaja i guess so, i only wanted to know because of Buffy and i was curious :D

[KingofCretins]

That's why everyone stared at her when she mentioned it and she clarified that she didn't know what it was about.

[SarahRegi]

jeje yes i got that part, made me even more curious :laughbounce:

[Ehlwyen]

I always loved that they referenced the Divinyls there. It was such a popular joke when I was a teenager and the song on the radio to mock that song.

Also I always found it such a fun coincidence that in the Buffy movie that when Buffy is training and becoming the Slayer, the Divinyls is the music used for the totally wickedly fun montage.

[ThePoet's<3]

What is the song playing when Spike goes to the Bronze and first sees the Slayer dancing? Epi is School Hard.

[KingofCretins]

The song is "Stupid Thing" by Nickel.

[sherrilina]

The music on the DVD is the queued to the specific moment where Buffy stands up in slow motion, catches the scythe, and sweeps three ubervamps back over the side with it.
Yeah, I remember when I was first watching season 7 on DVD (I was watching the whole series for the first time, with the exception of some of season 7 which I caught when it aired on TV in 2003), and I left the DVD on the menu to run off for a sec, and I remember as I came back hearing the most incredible and beautiful music coming from the TV--the DVD menu had reached that crescendo of music mentioned here. I knew that it was from the final battle, though I hadn't seen it yet....it had to be!

That moment of music when she gets up and kicks some serious uberbvamp ass is definitely one of my 3 fave pieces of music in the series (along with "The Sacrifice" from the Gift and "Close Your Eyes" in Innocence, etc, but especially when they played it in Becoming). It's part of why I still love Chosen, in spite of its many flaws (which have become more apparent to me since spending time on BW, lol)--it's just such an amazing piece, perhaps my favorite of all--certainly the most dramatic. I really want to get my hands on it, but you have to buy the Radio Sunnydale CD which iTunes doesn't have...same goes for the other non-Musical Buffy one that has "Close Your Eyes"--The Sacrifice is the only one I have.

I know this isn't entirely related, but speaking of season 7 music, does anyone know if there's a CD with the Angel seasons 3/4 music on it, especially the sinister Evil!Jasmine-Cordy or Cordy/Conor theme that plays most prominently during Inside Out when Jasmine-Cordy wins over Darla and Connor drags the girl away to be killed, Cordy smugly following in their wake, all in slow-mo as well (often the action during these great musical overtures seems to be in slow-mo--getting up and swinging the axe, running and jumping off the platform, etc)? It actually plays as early as Billy I realized, but it's really noticeable and used during season 4...but I really like it, and would like to get that as well....

AND! if you get one of the soundtrack cds, it's on it, and you can listen on your mp3 player while going for walks, etc. Agreed: love it, and I love that it's so easy to place- much of the background music stays in the background and has a lot less meaning, this is more in the vein of "full of grace", or "sugar water", etc. !
What do you mean? Background music is almost always important and key (except during season 1 and the beginning of season 2 of BTVS, when it just sucked and was more random). I would say it's more in the vein of "Close your Eyes" and "The Sacrifice" or the Restless and Hush sequences than in the actual songs...though they also played a similar role (though most were sung by a band at the Bronze or a party, or at the Prom--few were just straight-up songs in the background, interestingly enough...).

Funny, I knew it too. It was just incredible. No decent show would have such a kickass piece of music and not put it in a final battle or epic victory of some sort. That music makes me want to jump up and down, pump my fist, etc. It's a lot like the finale and "tryouts" music from the movie "Rudy," which are also really inspirational - but this is better.

[vampmogs]

Joss gave specific mention to the musical score in the Chosen commentary. He states something along the lines of it being one major contributor to the success of the final battle sequences. Joss states it gave the final battle a more epic feel than it would have had with another score and was one major reason the battle was bigger than any other they had done.

[Fpqno]

I'd like to say first, that it was never actually on Buffy or Angel (or Firefly), otherwise I would've posted it in the correct thread. Except that I know/have most of that music anyways, so it wouldn't even be an issue. So... I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

Anyways, the song I'm looking for... I found it in the summer between Buffy seasons 5 and 6. It was just over 5 minutes long, and it was a classical song with audio clips of Buffy and Spike over it. Like... In chronological order, sort of going over their relationship? It kind of builds up to be more... epic, as it goes along. If I were to compare it to any piece I know, it would be Requiem by Mozart. But that's not it, and it's not even too close. It's just... got choral on it and it isn't upbeat, and slowly builds towards something.

Does anyone at all know what I'm talking about?

I was hoping someone could at the very least tell me what the song was. I've been going through classical music since yesterday trying to find it, but I think that's a rather hopeless search, considering the sheer amount of it and the fact that I don't even know the composer.

Goodness, I can ALMOST remember the filename. Almost.

[ThePoet's<3]

No I surely don't know that one - but if someone does - I would like to know it as well! Sounds intriguing!!


I want to know if there is an official title to the song Spike's Mum sang to him and the First Evil used as a "trigger" in Sleeper? Is there a title?

[Dorian's Kitten]

It's called "Early One Morning"

Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid sing in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me,
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"

Remember the vows that you made to me truly
Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me
Gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind over thee.

Here I now wander alone as I wonder
Why did you leave me to sigh and complain
I ask of the roses, why should I be forsaken,
Why must I here in sorrow remain?

Through yonder grove, by the spring that is running
There you and I have so merrily played,
Kissing and courting and gently sporting
Oh, my innocent heart you've betrayed

How could you slight so a pretty girl who loves you
A pretty girl who loves you so dearly and warm?
Though love's folly is surely but a fancy,
Still it should prove to me sweeter than your scorn.

Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden
Some pretty maiden, you'll court her for a while;
Thus ever ranging, turning and changing
Always seeking for a girl that is new.

Thus sang the maiden, her sorrows bewailing
Thus sang the poor maid in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me,
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"

[ThePoet's<3]

Thank you DK!! Aren't the words divine?!? You didn't catch a writer perchance??

[Dorian's Kitten]

I think that it is really old and unattributed. Here is a Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_One_Morning

[SarahRegi]

jaja the first time i heard that song in the show i confused it with "Pop Goes The Weasel"

[Rosamunde]

The Early One Morning thing freaked me out because my mother sings it! Over identify, much?

I'm looking for a song, too: the one at the very end of Season Six that plays as Buffy and Dawn crawl out of the hole in the earth. I think it's some kind of hymn? I remember singing a version of it in school, but I can't remember the title or lyrics! :rolleyes:

[redrevo]

It's the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, but the actual song is Prayer of St. Francis by Sarah McLachlan.

[scarybunny]

i'm looking for some music that was in Angel:
The music was played as party music in "The life of the party" and also as nightclub music in "The girl in question".......

Anyone can help???

[Rosamunde]

It's the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, but the actual song is Prayer of St. Francis by Sarah McLachlan.


I just listened to it! :) Thanks for telling me what it was. Brought back so many memories of primary school :lol: And reminded me how creepy St Francis is.

The Sarah McLachlan version is pretty high on the cheese, but I think we can forgive the choice when putting it in context of the episode. It was quite a nice metaphor in some ways.

[KingofCretins]

I have never heard creepiness associated with the Prayer of St. Francis. Heh.

Sarah McLachlan did a great arrangement of that, though, I'm glad it's on the Radio Sunnydale CD. Both Buffy CDs are excellent.

Oh, what I meant was not to knock background music and its place in the show, since it's clearly (usually!) awesome, more that if I hear the background music out of context, unless it's something really key like the final battle scene, or hush, I know it's from Buffy, but not from where in Buffy. Whereas song songs, to a non musical person like myself, recall where in the series we were when we heard them.

[sanguine]

Hi everyone I figured this would be the best place to ask...

Can anyone identify the recurring piece of music in "This Year's Girl" (I think). It's a creepy string of about 4 high pitched notes that I'm sure I've heard somewhere before.

[KingofCretins]

Pretty sure it's original score by Christophe Beck -- or so I've always assumed. But, it might actually be licensed music, as it is very, very similar to some of the score pieces for the movie "End of Days" (Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Gabriel Byrne), which were composed by Jon Debney. Debney's credits don't mention Buffy, but, there are definite similarities -- so even if Beck did write it, you aren't going crazy :)

[Nostalgia]

The creepiest score for me is the Restless theme..

[Pandora's_Box]

I'm looking for the name of the song at the end of episode Shells 5x17 from Angel, really pretty and if I'm not mistaken probably the only soundtrack song of the series...Thanks

[KingofCretins]

The song is "A Place Called Home", by Kim Richey.

[Pandora's_Box]

Cool, thank you!

[Nostalgia]

What's the song from "Lonely Hearts" called? It's during the middle of the episode.. when the demon is shown dating many different people.. trying to "connect."

[Matt]

That song's called Touched by VAST.

[missperoxide]

I dont know that version but the original was sung by Divinyls. Here is the song if anyone is interested

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTneO6UgRuM

And here's a funny Spike and Buffy video on Youtube to the song "I Touch Myself", made in a style of the VH1-s pop-up videos. I do recommend!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZtJ5RCjZ7k

[Invisible Girl]

That song's called Touched by VAST.

I would highly recommend getting the CD "Visual Audio Sensory Theater" by VAST. It's amazing. Everyone I've played it for has loved it.

[electroGwen]

Does anyone have a song from Buffy ep Beer bad Perfect Again by Lauren Christy Can't find it anywhere, can anyone help?

[quasimodo2002]

As far as i know, it has never been released and made available to the public.
Neither by Lauren Cristy herself nor by her former Label.
It was probably created exclusively for the show and WB is just sitting on it.

I found an OLD SMOE conversation (from 2000) about this track via google.
It is possible there *might* exist an album featuring Lauren singing this particular song.
http://www.smoe.org/lists/breed/v01.n014
Haven't found it yet...

She also did some live performances in 1999/2000 featuring "Perfect Again".
Perhaps someone made a live recording.
http://www.smoe.org/lists/breed/v02.n015

Then again, those infos are 8 years old.


Btw, thank god i found this forum again.
I miss the old Buffy world ....

[electroGwen]

thanx for the info quasi

Does anyone here know the name of the club song played in Angel's Season 5 The Girl in Question? Thanks to whoever can help.

~Trish

[skinless]

Whats the name of the song they play in "Dead things" about half way thru.

[NileQT87]

"take me in your arms" by dean martin is the song played during the slow-mo fight in the girl in question.

[xaphania]

Does anyone know where I can get the song "Blue" by Angie Hart? It's the song that plays at the beginning and end of Conversations With Dead People.

[Pandora's_Box]

Whats the name of the song they play in "Dead things" about half way thru.
I think the song you're refering to is "Out Of This World" by Bush. It's in my play list, I love it...!

[Matt]

Does anyone know where I can get the song "Blue" by Angie Hart? It's the song that plays at the beginning and end of Conversations With Dead People.

It's available on both versions of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Radio Sunnydale soundtrack.

[skinless]

One other quesion: Who is the artist that sings "white horses" or is it "Wild Horses". It's the song featured during "The Prom" when Angel and Buffy are dancing.

[Pandora's_Box]

It's Wild Horses, and it's sang by "The Sundays" but it's actually a Rolling Stones song.

[skinless]

It's Wild Horses, and it's sang by "The Sundays" but it's actually a Rolling Stones song. thanks for all the help guys

[lara]

Hi guys...

I have gotten all the Spuffy scores of the seventh season, I could find. I have "The final fight" (Robert Duncan) and the extended version "Chosen" (from duncan's site on the net) But from those scores the actual "Buffy & Spike love theme" is only 1:05' long, I'm wondering if there is an extended version of the song (like there is of "Close your eyes", you have an original version and a just piano version, etc.) or maybe a longer version of the song. If there is do you know about it?

"Buffy & Spike Love theme" it's part of both scores "The final fight (Original score - 4:03)" and "Chosen (the long version - 7:51)" It's 1:05 long and it's heard for the first time in 7.02 "Beneath You". It's the music you hear when they are in the church and Spike is telling Buffy about his soul. You hear it several times during all the spuffy moments in season 7, but with some variations, an example is in "End of Days" when they have the conversation about being "shirty" and the "maybe when..." it is heard with a bit piano in the middle, and it's part of what makes that scene so touching. Hearing that particular piece in "End of Days" was what made me wonder that maybe if they played different versions of the song in some episodes there could be a clean copy of them somewhere, and of course I would love to get them, so I have to ask around!!

Also, I looked everywhere I could think of and I have yet to find "Nobody's hurt yet" Buffy & Spike theme from "Smashed". Can any of you guys help me out?

[skinless]

Ok here's a weird Question, I didnt know if I was supposed to put it in this or the random Buffy questions Since its kinda random. Does the BTVS Theme actually have a name or is it just called The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Theme. I was just thinking about that Does anybody Know?

[Matt]

It's just called the Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme.
It would've been interesting if it had've been turned into a song or something, like Darling Violetta did with the Angel Theme Tune, but no. Then again that's still called the Angel Theme Tune.

[lara]

Yeah, it would be great if they did that, like what they did with Angel's theme, that song by darling violetta is great, I think it was named "The Sanctuary" Extended remix and it's in Angel's album "Live Fast, Die Never" (2005)

[quasimodo2002]

Hi all,

for many weeks now i'm looking for ways to get the album CDs of some bands from Buffy.
All information about those bands i assembled from various tracklists, though i can't confirm if those infos are even correct.
There are no alive websites, myspace accounts or offered items on Amazon, Ebay od CDBaby. Google isn't of much help either.
Quite the nuts to crack.

Those are the bands in question:

Act of faith ("Bring me on" from the album "Scream" 1997 in Buffy 2x05 Reptile Boy)
Every bit of nothing ("Slip Jimmy" from the album "Austamosta" 1998 in Buffy 3x06 Band Candy)
Spectator pump ("Priced 2 move" in Buffy 3x16 Doppelgangland and "Sunday mail" in Buffy 3x21 Graduation Day Part 1, both tracks from the album "Styrofoam Archives")

ANY additional info would be of help at this point ...

[lara]

Does anyone know if I can find the music sheet for Robert Duncan's "The final fight" theme? If there is one, I've been looking around but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places... Any help?

[NileQT87]

http://www.geocities.com/foxxedslayer/sheetmusic.html

this is the best i could find... but it's only the sheet music to sacrifice (the gift), darling violetta's angel theme, close your eyes, waking willow, buffy/riley and the giles/jenny passion themes.

[lara]

I check it out Nile, so not Duncan's theme but hey! Darling Violetta's theme!! I love Angel's song and didn't have that one yet!! Thank you :hug:
