I got the idea for this mix a really really really long time ago, but I never quite got around to making it. Thanks for the incentive!
7 Season of Buffy
1. Building a Mystery, Sarah Mclachlan

7. The Scientist, Coldplay
Season 1
Building a Mystery, Sarah MclachlanYou come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
This song just feels like the spirit of the show to me. Plus...Joss has a thing for Sarah Mclachlan.
Season 2
Bad Boyfriend, GarbageI wanna hear you call out my name
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Keep you on ice so I can show all my friends
C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend
Very Buffy/Angel season 2. Not even just post "Surprise." Their relationship was pretty much forbidden. Vamp/Vamp Slayer.
Season 3
Time of No Reply, Nick DrakeSummer was gone and the heat died down
And autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply.
The lyrics just make me think of "Anne." Buffy on the beach with Angel in her dreams.
Season 4
The Freshmen, The Verve PipeFor the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
Just a general theme for their freshman year. Also the line "She was touching her face." Seems appropriate.
Season 5
Dead Man's Will, Iron and Wine | CalexicoMay my love reach you all
I locked in myself and buried too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone
Buffy's speech to Dawn in "The Gift," about taking care of her friends.
Season 6
Pictures of Success, Rilo Kileythey say california is a recipe for a black hole
and i say i've got my best shoes on
i'm ready to go (ready to go)
ready to go
ready to go
I was listening to this song once and it hit me (hard...over the head) how much it spoke to season 6. It even played during season 6. So...yeah.
Season 7
The Scientist, ColdplayNobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Aww take me back to the start
So...season 7 had a few themes. One of them was going back to the beginning (another was power, but let's focus on the first theme). "Back to the Start." Dude.
Plus the song's sort of a Spuffy song, and while I'm a Buffy/Angel shipper till death...she was with Spike for a little while. I can't ignore it.
Also, this is kinda a mix of file types. .wma, .mp3, and .m4a
