Thanks to aycheb, buffyann, elynross, and obsessive24 for their invaluable beta work on the vid. Banner by the ever-so-special thedothatgirl.
Believe it or not, I heard this song for the first time less than a year ago, and it immediately called to mind images of Spike and Faith in Buffy S7; totally out of place among Buffy's friends and the Slayers In Training, but still sort of chained to Buffy.
On a bigger scale, I started thinking about how Spike's arc and Faith's arc throughout the series were similar, and how both revolved around their relationship with Buffy. That's what I wanted to explore in this vid.
Spike and Faith each seem to know that they represent something dark inside of Buffy - just as she represents the perfection somewhere inside of each them - and in being around Buffy they bring out that darkness in her and sort of lessen and taint her. And yet I don't think either can ever truly leave her while they're alive.
I think in finding a chance to sacrifice themselves in S7 (which seemed to be what both Spike and Faith wanted to do) they both believed they could gain some level of acceptance/forgiveness - if not love - from Buffy and, in the process, remove themselves from her life.
Er, sorry for all the angst.
when you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
you're just like an angel
your skin makes me cry
you float like a feather
through a beautiful world
i wish i was special
you're so fucking special
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here
i don't care if it hurts
i wanna have control
i want a perfect body
i want a perfect soul
i want you to notice
when i'm not around
you're so fucking special
i wish i was special
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here
she's running out again
she run run run run
Run
whatever makes you happy
whatever you want
you're so fucking special
i wish i was special
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here
i don't belong here
Hope you enjoy the vid. Please share your thoughts.
