liliaethI'm making a fanmix for Seasonal spuffy. Is there any song that any of you think that really is unmissable for this?
I've got 14 songs so far, but looking for more. I think the perfect number would be 22.

'Run' by Snow Patrol (S7)
'Honesty' by Billy Joel (Sleeper/Never Leave Me)
'Sometimes you can't make it on your own' by U2 (Touched)
'Brighter than Sunshine' by Aqualung ('Chosen')
'Jesus to a Child' by George Michael (Buffy, post-Chosen)
'I'll Remember' by Madonna (Buffy, post-Chosen)
Um.. these are just off the top of my head (I could *easily* go on). I can send any or all your way, just say the word.

Date: 2007-09-15 07:48 pm (UTC)So far all I've got is:
I am what I am (John Barrowman)
I can’t decide (scissor sisters)
Trouble is a woman
A little gossip
Girl I’m a bad boy
Lady Marmelade
Unaffected
As long as (s)he needs me
You wanted more
Beautiful disaster
The Impossible Dream
There will come a day
For You (the Calling)
Someone like you
Zero to hero
Back in Black
Because you loved me
Tell me it’s not true
I’ve had the time of my life
There you’ll be
In that order. I'm trying to go a bit over the number so I can pick which songs fit in and which ones don't.

Date: 2007-09-15 08:00 pm (UTC)I just hope that people will find a fanmix good enough for seasonal spuffy, but at least I'm having fun listening to all the songs on my comp to find those that fit the pairing.
Then tomorow, when I have decided what songs to use, I'm going to spend some time looking up lyrics wherever possible and try and give some reasons for why each song was put in.

'Twilight' by Vanessa Carlton.
I was stained with a role in a day not my own
And as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And i always knew what was right
I just didn't know that i might
Peel away and choose to see from such a different sight
'twilight' as the meeting point between Buffy and Spike is just the most wonderful metaphor, and this song beautifully illustrates how he changes during S5 because of her.
'The Moth' by Aimee Mann
The moth don't care when he sees the flame
he might get burned but he's in the game
All those fire metaphors in S6, and how damaging it can be.
'Honesty' by Billy Joel (Sleeper/Never Leave Me)
I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
This is the most perfect song for those two eps - *ever*. Just listen and be amazed.
'Sometimes you can't make it on your own' by U2 (Touched)
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
Spike's speech. *sniffle*
'Run' by Snow Patrol (S7)
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
This one just sums up a lot of the tragedy of S/B - and although I've put it as S7, maybe it's more of a 'Chosen' song - those last few nights.
'Brighter than Sunshine' by Aqualung ('Chosen')
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine
Flaming hands. "I love you."/"No you don't." This song makes me cry. (And of course he believed her!)
'Jesus to a Child' by George Michael (Buffy, post-Chosen)
With your last breath
You saved my soul
Buffy reflecting post-Chosen. Sad at what they could have had, but determined to live for both of them.
'I'll Remember' by Madonna (Buffy, post-Chosen)
Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing
Another reflection song - this time more what Spike taught her and how he changed her.

Date: 2007-09-17 01:12 pm (UTC)But you taught me I could change Whatever came within these shallow days
just say: 'Buffy, I've changed!'/'I can be good too!' etc.
But that is of course only my opinion. Mostly I'm just pleased that you liked the song enough to use it. :)
