So, I'm nearly finished with the Spuffy fanvid I've been making for

seasonal_spuffy, I've only got two scenes I need to add, but I have to wait and get my friend's DVD's so I can rip them to my computer. I really thought it would take longer than this, but it seems things go a lot faster now that I know how to do a lot of the effects I want to. It's so much easier when you can do what was originally in your head rather than fighting with the program to figure out a reasonable alternative.

The bad thing about finishing it so soon (I still have like, a month until my day) is that I am a very impatient person. The temptation to just go ahead an post it somewhere is going to drive me mad. So I need to keep busy. And since I am still in a fanvidding mood, I really want to work on another.

I just don't have song in mind.

What I need is something intense but with a good beat and pace. Preferably rock, but not something that is so popular that people are sick of hearing it. I've made a lot slow vids and I'd like to work on something faster.

Anyone have any suggestions? Any song that you think fits the Spuffy relationshp?

I kinda suck at suggesting music, but I wanted to commiserate with you on finishing your Seasonal Spuffy piece so early. I've been working on the Buffy/Spike/Bot/Decoy fic you suggested as a lark and thought it'd be nice to have for Seasonal Spuffy so I could refocus on TYSK. But I'm getting close to done and I'm so impatient I know I'm going to want to post it.

As for music - I love anything by Shinedown or maybe if you wanted to make a really dark video about Buffy's death/resurrection you could use "Inside the Fire" by Disturbed. But that's a pretty intense and dark song.

I love Shinedown! Man, its been so long since I've listened to them, I'll have to listen again and see if I can find anything of theirs that would work. I don't know if I've heard "Inside the Fire" or not (I'm really terrible with remembering song names) but I'll give it a listen. You know how I love my dark Spuffy. :)

And just so you know, I am seriously looking forward to that fic. I'm sure its going to be hilarious. Buffy/Spike/Bot/Decoy--far too much awesome for one fic. *cracks up*

The first few lyrics for Inside The Fire are:

Ooh Devon, won't go to heaven,
She's just another lost soul about to be mine again,
Leave her, we will receive her,
It is beyond your control will you ever meet again.

And the clincher:

Devon lies beyond this portal,
Take the word of one immortal

It just makes me think of Buffy, Spike, the Gift and her resurrection. Could work.

I should be finishing the Three Buffies/Spike fic this weekend. :)

Jesus Christ- Brand New

Uh... that's all that Ican think of off the top of my head, but I think it fills your requirements. ^_^ Looking forward to the videos.

I listened and LOVED that song, but its still a bit too slow. It did give me ideas for an awesome video I can make out of it, I just want to do something fast before.

I have plenty of other suggestions. ^_^ [And now that I have a bit of spare time I can tell you why I think they'd work for Spike and Buffy.

Guernica- Brand New

I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure.

Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.

and

I'm not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now and you will always be around.
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't- Brand New

oh its so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
cuz you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..

we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.

and

this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason your alone,
this is the rise and the fall.

ESPECIALLY THIS SONG: Degausser - Brand New

I can't start quoting lyrics or I'll run out of space, so here is a link: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brandnew/degausser.html

[Can you tell that I love Brand New?]

The Red- Chevelle

I'm not sure what exactly it is about this song... the lyrics are great for Spike I think, but the really grimy, rough guitar work thru most of the song is just awesome. It has a great feel.

Don't Fake This- Chevelle

Another great song for Spike. Some of the lines are just fantastic.

Ignoring a loss of sight,
Afraid to blink, I might lose the sun.
But don't make this out, to be more,
Than it isn't behind every lie.
There's a burden within.
Yes you're my sight.

Cigarettes and Alcohol- Oasis

Great song for Spike, the lyrics fit nicely. I'm not sure about the tune itself tho.

Kiss Me, Kill Me- Mest

This song is PERFECT for them! OMG, I can't believe that Ididn't think of it right away. >_< Again, I can't quote without going crazy, so here is a link: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mest/kissmekillme.html

Hope one of these works for you!

♥ Sin

You are just, so awesome I can't even begin to describe it. :) So awesome, that I am using my Spock icon again.

Thank you so much, hun. I will definately listen to these songs. (And yeah, so can tell you like Brand New).

Once again--Awesome!

How about Broken Promises for Broken Hearts by She wants Revenge?
