The brief look of horror on Spike's face as he starts to sing is priceless.

My opinion hasn't changed in all these years. Spike and Buffy are still one of the hottest couples to ever grace our TV screens. James and Sarah's chemistry was off the charts.

Spike is such a dramaqueen 😂😂 i love him

I love his last line, “So you’re not staying then?” 😂🤣😂

"A whisper in the dead man's ear, it doesn't make it real". Pretty much sums up why Buffy turns to him, she can be with him, without it having to truly be "real" for her

I love how he could probably feel the song coming and he was just ‘get out, please get out’ but it was too late 😅

'If my heart could beat if would break my chest...' Great line about being too scared to love.

I am still amazed that he's not actually British. His accent and voice pattern are perfect. I remember seeing James Marsters on Smallville and commenting to my roommate at the time how he did a great American accent only to be corrected that he actually is American.

Spike be like: "Mustnotsingmustnotsingmustnotsing ~I died~ Oh balls..."

Freaking love this song so much. Spike is basically saying "I love you, but you don't love me back, so don't keep coming around and using me whenever you have an itch to scratch or an ear you want to whisper into, cause I need more than what you're offering"

I always thought Spike was cool. this episode is among my personal favorites.its an important part in the evolution of Buffy's and spikes relationship

This is my favorite song in Buffy: The Musical

Anthony (Giles) and James both sing in bands so it was great they could do some singing on the show.

I know that their love was difficult and started off bad but I still love Spike and Buffy over Angel and Buffy. Don't get me wrong I don't hate Angel. I don't think he fought as hard as Spike for his relationship.

I’m rewatching this show after, like 10 years. I can’t stop living my life through select TV shows.

Always loved spike over angel.

SPIKE: I died So many years ago But you can make me feel Like it isn't so And why you come to be with me I think I finally know mmm-mmm You're scared Ashamed of what you feel And you can't tell the ones you love You know they couldn't deal Whisper in a dead man's ear It doesn't make it real That's great But I don't wanna play 'Cause being with you touches me More than I can say And since I'm only dead to you I'm saying stay away and Let me rest in peace Let me rest in peace Let me get some sleep Let me take my love and bury it In a hole 6-foot deep I can lay my body down But I can't find my, sweet release So let me rest in peace You know, You got a willing slave And you just love to play the thought That you might misbehave But 'till you do, I'm telling you Stop visiting my grave And let me rest in peace I know I should go But I follow you like a man possessed There's a traitor here beneath my breast And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed If my heart could beat, it would break my chest But I can see you're unimpressed So leave me be and Let me rest in peace Let me get some sleep Let me take my love and bury it In a hole 6-foot deep I can lay my body down But I can't find my sweet release So let me rest in peace Why won't you Let me rest in peace?

So much pleasure to see that in the end Buffy can hardly stop herself from giving in to Spike's desire. And actually she runs away because understands it. Just love it

When Spike drops to his knees telling her shes got a willing slave, & the way he looks at her up & down😍😍 damn! Still intense to this day! Loved his part lived the chemistry still love the series❤

It took me 20 years to realise they're having a funeral at night

Their relationship gave me the most feels in the whole series

love his voice

I love this - James Marsters is a phenomenal singer! This was a perfect song for him - sexy, intense and very hot! I still get goosebumps!

Whedon is a fucking great writer.

you got that right he has a amazing voice

I haven't seen this show in years and this is still my all time favorite episode. I can still sing along to all the song.

you can tell Spike is trying to get her out of there before he starts singing.

I'm a bit of a typical guy - closed off and uncomfortable with the vulnerability that comes with sharing your feelings. That's why I loved this scene so much. He wants to get her out of there because he's conflicted but her subtle "what's up?" in that smooth honeyed voice just washes over him. Most guys know it's nearly impossible to be mad at a woman you're in love with if they're being nice to you. Women have such power over us that it pisses us off. A single touch, the high pitch of your voice mixed with such a caring inflection... if we truly love you it *melts* our defenses. Defenses that work against *everyone else in the world* He has the singing bug and his feelings come out but he throws his head back in disgust like "Shit. Really?!" And the whole song is a confliction between "Holy shit I love you" and "I don't need you. Just fuck off" right back to "Don't go. I'll do anything" *shiver* Someone who has been deeply in love definitely wrote this song. If you've ever been madly in love in a toxic relationship you understand all too well. And my favorite line "If my heart could beat it would break my chest" is one of the best and most impactful lyrics I've heard to date. God I miss good TV.

Spike is my favorite character and I do believe with or without the chip him and buffy would still of gotten together

everything spike said about her is true. she was in denial and didn't want to face the truth. she was ashamed of being attracted and wanting a "monster"

Spuffy since 2002! My #1 fav TV couple ever!

Spike just sexy, the looks he gives and the way he spoke and the way he sang this song to Buffy.... with so much feeling; you know she felt it too!

I love spike he's so fit

This is exactly what the twin flame connection is like lmao.😂

That fucking jawline FR

“So, you’re not staying then?”😄❤️

1:32 idk how Buffy could resist and restrain herself 😍😻

Spike > Angel

you're not staying then?

So… your not staying then. GOT ME LAUGHING SO HARD

This was about the best episode of Buffy ever.

Was listening to “I’m just Ken” and this played straight after 😅 omg is it just me or this songs are giving exact same vibes 🤣🤣 on top of that Ken is wearing Spikes signature outfit 😂

"So, you're not staying then...?"

No Hetero but DAMN spike is hot

I miss Buffy and Spike! I loved them so much

i have been watching this for 10 years and i will watch it for 10 more i hope

Spike is the best vampire character I have ever seen! And, we are in 2024 now!

me and my best friend still break out in songs from this every once and awhile... so good!

Best scene in the whole series.

This is so awesome. I freakin loved this episode and this is one of my fav songs from it. 👏

Spike forever ☀

I have watched all of the seasons and in my opinion Buffy and Angel were an epic love but Buffy and Spike were end game, they had a greater connection and love and they should of been end game.

this episode will always be a favorite for all Buffy fans

Exactly captures my mood, right now. "So, you are not staying, then" LOL

Ooooh Bloody Hell

Spike&Buffy were incredible together.

So why is there a funeral happening in the middle of the night?

The words of this song touch my soul

Thnx I was listening after my lessons online

Best song. End of comment

I love him😍

Wait so how was spike attacking those people with the chip. My theory those people were vampires or demon that's why they had a funeral at night

So you're not staying then at the end still kills me lol

So you not staying when? :D

My favorite episode!

I love spike.

I cant lie im a teen with a majour thing for David Boreanaz which is why we started watching Buffy but getting to this scene made me drool James Marsters had Spikes role down to a tea and i love him so

Also the song is about the fact that if you cannot love me as I love you if you can't love me for not capable stop torturing me but coming over and expecting me to be at your feet and beckon call and basically you know that I love you so stop treating me like your love slave, if you are not capable of giving me something like love in return.

Love this song and Spike

I love his voice

i hate the end of this love story

I still love it!

Buffy: what's wrong your all Bad moody lol I love when she says that.

She digs his singing

The soundtrack of my love life

to je pisen a spikee to zaspivall peckoveee a presneeee....spike je nejlepsii miluju ho

love it

There's something about a bad boy...

2020 YEE BABY BUFFY STILL KICKING

Just the pure annoyance on his face when he starts singing.

Best song ever

Still incredible

Spike was a good singer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't convince me that this and I'm just Ken aren't the same song. LMAO

Aaaaaaaaa his voice is sooooo,I love it

Spike and buffy forever. T V show with them fighting evil together like comic books. Would watch faithfully. Buffy belonged with spike. How stupid they dont know what fans want.

Spike trying to get Buffy to leave before he breaks out into song

he is zo hot !

I just can't bring myself to forgive Spike for what he did to Buffy, but I still love this song, I think it is so beautiful. "If my heart could beat, it would break my chest." I think that's some of the best lyrics someone has ever wrote, he really moved me with this song.

The best singer i like more is spike and Giles their got greatest voice

hbd 20 years ago today

Top song :3

Always wondered why Spike and Buffy (romantically) together never appealed to me. . . . Right here, right now. This day November 4th 2022 Friday at 4:36PM I understand. . . . It fits the same annoying loyalty of Cat Noir to Ladybug. Spike after deeply "falling in love" Buffy, nothing else mattered. She treated him like a punching bag, at her beck/call when she wanted him. No her demeanor towards Spike was worse then it was with Riley. ADRIGAMI ALWAYS!! Lukanette cuteness and Angel/Buffy completely. That vamp was the only to truly get Buffy emotionally crazy for right reasons. Plus Spike trying to R-A-P-E Buffy, she may forgive him, I never can for that.

I was happy when Buffy and spike got together until they broke up

The only musical epsiode, besides the Grey’s Anatomy one, that I like

❤ William Bloddy 😢 My Live ❤ Spike „

i wish he was like this now i would def date him he is hot

Can’t believe I’ve only just noticed Joss in this, after all these years!!

For all the people arguing for the Angel/Buffy relationship over the Spike/Buffy relationship, you have to realize something. The Angel character exists as a metaphor for a deceptively abusive relationship. The seemingly perfect guy who the naive, inexperienced, younger partner falls for, only to discover later they have abusive tendencies. The show literally used the "Everything changes after you have sex" trope. (in a clever way, I might add) After all this is established about Angel he starts acting incredibly reserved and trying to distance himself from his triggers (namely Buffy) like a person with a abusive tendencies might do if they realized they had issues. Buffy getting over Angel was akin to a woman breaking up with an abusive boyfriend and stronger for it. Where Angel distancing himself from Buffy and moving on is akin to a man with an unhealthy fixation on a girl, that brings the worst out of him, realizing the best thing to do is to just cut ties and move on. What I'm saying is if these 2 characters ended up together then it would undermine what their relationship is supposed to represent, and the growth that both characters experienced as a result of ending it. Spike on the other hand isn't a metaphor. He doesn't represent any checkpoint for Buffy's character growth (no more-so than any of the other characters) He is just a genuine character who started bad, no pretense or misdirection. He loves Buffy but the sad truth is he doesn't deserve Buffy, and he realizes that. But he wants her and he's willing to do anything. So he devotes himself to trying to redeem himself, to overcome his past. He's more of a genuine character, and while it's still debatable about whether he can be forgiven for all the terrible things he's done, I think he belongs with Buffy more than Angel does.

Sarah Michelle Gellar AKA Papi please just listen to the man hard out here he did the same thing to Giles that you're doing to spike
