Buffy & Spike - Let Me Rest In Peace

NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED
Buffy and Spike singing Let Me Rest In Peace.
Show on Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 6, Episode 7
"Once more with Feeling"

[@HobbitBabe]

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

[@FlyingMonkies325]

Lol it's more like "OH... bloody hell... sneaky bugger, not this again, i must admit though... you've got spunk", he shook his head then smiled and sorta chuckled, try not to read it in his voice xD

[@queeniemarigold]

he looked like his car had just died

[@arthurchallat8530]

I agree, his reaction is pure gold XD It burst me into a big laugh the first time I see it XD

[@isaacramirez11]

@@FlyingMonkies325 that is Spike for you we could understood him only with his gestures, he was that good.

[@Spiran_SphereHunter]

I would say its more exasperation but its great either way, Dude has amazing acting chops and an awesome voice

[@iluvlafferty]

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.

[@iluvlafferty]

You're on the wrong video. This is a Spike/Buffy scene, not Buffy/Angel. Bangel ended in Season 3. Spuffy are together in the comics, and they were in love (as confirmed by Joss Whedon) in the final BTVS episode. She even told Angel she loves Spike. Buffy doesn't belong to Angel.

[@iluvlafferty]

You can keep telling yourself that, but you might want to try watching Angel's show, because he fell in love with Cordelia. It's called evolution. People change. His relationship with Buffy was doomed after they had sex.

[@iluvlafferty]

I don't think Buffy and Angel would work as a couple. He wants to be redeemed; they both have missions to protect people, and they can't do that if they remain obsessed with each other. Buffy has matured with Spike and they're able to work as a team with him not turning evil. S/B = mature love.

[@iluvlafferty]

Drusilla didn't truly love Spike. She wanted Angelus more than him. Spike always knew that. The only woman he was able to truly love in a healthy way was Buffy. He died for the world because he loves her. I think Buffy loved Angel in a high school way - passionate, but not meant to last.

[@roberterlandson8234]

iluvlafferty angel is Buffys past & as much as she still feels for him the curse will always keep them apart

[@rainerawinklera2440]

Spike is such a dramaqueen 😂😂 i love him

[@winter7564]

So...you’re not staying, then?

[@lbcharlie05]

If you said that to his face, I hope you are wearing a turtleneck.

[@angeladegroot6582]

Ok, I’m 64 years old, about the same age James Marsters is. I think he is one of the most versatile actors there are : he fits every role he plays , his multiple accents are amazing and he is a great musician as well ❤️

[@ForgottenHonor0]

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

[@ianrhodes6928]

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

[@ColinRichardson]

The "IF" that does it for me.. 20 odd years now and it still makes me chuckle.

[@RiVeR95765]

I mean, he's a vampire....figured it was referring to his actual heart not beating...and how intently he feels about Buffy.

[@reic0002]

oh wow, too literal guys. Just love!

[@malindaheadlee2470]

No shit

[@j.h.6633]

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

[@MrRedgrin]

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.

[@JupiterThndr]

Funny thing is many of the crew on the set of buffy had no idea he was american. If i remember correctly they were thinking a Southern American accent for Spike originally. When James auditioned in a cockney accent they love it so much they kept it.

[@Wizard4169]

Yeah, odd thing, pretty much the only BtVS actor who wasn't faking his British accent was Tony Head, aka Rupert "Ripper" Giles. Still freaks me out when I see a panel discussion with James Marsters speaking without the accent. Oh, well, at least he's still pretty.

[@AceripXF]

Joshua Clough lmao!! anthony head taught him how to talk british

[@AceripXF]

Wizard4169 i💚 anthony stewart head

[@jody024]

Then watch Marvel's the Runaways now.... still takes getting used to, lol.

[@donalocribin3355]

"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

[@mel-burnes]

yeah, right before kissing him at the end of that ep buffy sings 'this isn't real but I just want to feel' so that's fun for spike

[@bethbaxter2922]

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

[@SirCraigius]

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"

[@deadpooldan9862]

And yet he’d gladly die in that fire that’s Buffy making herself feel better by using him, because she hates herself for how she feels, but he doesn’t see that till he gets a soul, and by then she doesn’t hate herself or him that way anymore. He can’t begin to understand her here because he doesn’t even know who he is at this point, even less so when he get a soul, as Buffy rightly pointed out when he told her she liked him because he hurt her.

[@nessiesmith]

Always loved spike over angel.

[@Wizard4169]

That only proves your intelligence. Spike was always much cooler than Angel.

[@charisma5337]

No way.

[@faeriebard]

Spike is so much better than Angel. Angel is great but aNGEL ISN’T SPIKE LEVEL OF AWESOME

[@AnnRose142]

I like both BUT I looooooooove Spike 😍

[@emilywilliams2216]

Same don't get me wrong I love Angel but my love for Spike is 10 trillion times stronger then times that by another 10 trillion. He's sexy asf . And omg when he died in the last episode of Buffy I had tears in my eyes. Can't wait to watch Angel now.

[@mattwise8597]

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

[@isaacramirez11]

the whole chapter was an important progression for all the characters, and also they literally sing what they couldnt tell, i mean his/her hiding feelings.

[@lightheart5]

This is my favorite song in Buffy: The Musical

[@isaacramirez11]

also mine, but i love how Giles sing im like a boyfan of his voice.

[@dreamannemusic]

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

[@buttersstotch6854]

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

[@jody024]

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

[@worodiraqi7908]

Their relationship gave me the most feels in the whole series

[@cynthiabolen1344]

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.

[@valeryk3717]

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

[@Pancake3225]

1:36 she wants him bad!

[@oOMasterDjoOo]

Whedon is a fucking great writer.

[@breeholthus2423]

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

[@devyncdc]

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.

[@louisemacallister6561]

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!

[@Viper3220]

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.

[@sarinastubbs6235]

Viper3220 dude! %100!!!!!! I agree.

[@zofishaxxx]

This comment 👏🏼 very insightful

[@cmm5542]

It's true. Women have SO much more power over men than most of us realize.

[@OK-go9ij]

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?

"People say they hate this ep" are you trippin? It's in like EVERY Top 10 Buffy (if not "TV") Episodes ever

[@darkblue9314]

I can understand why people might not like this episode, it is a little off to see the Buffy cast do a musical, but I like seeing characters out of their comfort zones because it creates character developement, but I freaking loved it, it's one of my favorite Buffy episodes. It kind of makes me wish the whole Buffy series was a musical, they don't need a song every episode, but I wouldn't mind them singing once in a while, lol

I think Buffy liked Spike more than Angel because he could have sex :D

[@Wizard4169]

Well, Angel got laid, too. But banging Darla wasn't about love or trust, it was just a really weak and cowardly way to commit suicide. Read the fine print on your curse, you immortal idiot! (The fact that he somehow knocked her up doesn't count, since he had no idea that it was even possible.)

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.
