I'm french and the french voice of buffy is very good but in VO what a mess full of autotune. But VO is the opposite for VF everyone is really really good but Buffy. VF everyone is really bad but Buffy XD And like you said Tony and Amber Slayed the episode !
Deniyell McMillian The two best singers in the Musical episode. I think Antony Head has been in musicals before I don't know what Ambers previous experience is.
When Tara and Rupert start singing together, you see the finality of two loving relationships made manifest, and it's utterly heartbreaking...not only is the singing sublime, but the emotions in their faces and movements tell such a story of pain and loss. If you don't shed a tear, here, then you really haven't invested yourselves in these characters.
If you're not at least on the verge of crying listening to them singing and watching the longing and regret in their eyes you are emotionally dead. I can say that because my meds had made me emotionally dead for 16 years when I saw this and I still felt tears trying to break through. This is powerful stuff. then again this was also the first episode of Buffy I'd ever even seen.
I had such a crush on him when I was 16. All the girls in my grade were into Angel, but I was like no way Giles for me. I am a wife and mum now but I still fancy him. Anthony is handsome but it is his character that I have a crush on.
The voice is very attractive. I was jr high ish when this came out, so I was a Spike girl. As an older woman and wife and mother now, he is the most attractive man. Dependable, steady job and ready to stab a mayor to defend his children? Oh my.
I always loved Giles, but more like a father, I guess... I used to crush a lot on Angel in the beginning, but when Spike approached, I definitly became his trash 🙏🏼😂💙
Its no accident that Gile's character was in that position. The writers had Buffy's real father absent from the very beginning of the series and Giles (whether Buffy or Giles were willing to acknowledge it or not) was the closest thing to a father she had. And Giles just grew into that role more and more as time went on until Buffy's mom died and he was basically the only parental figure she had left. It was all a very well engineered arc from very talented writers.
@@JonathanRodd the watchers council fired Giles because they thought he was too attached to Buffy to be her watcher of course by this time he was reinstated at Buffy's request
That is definitely excellent and I love them singing together no matter what part of the song, but the part that really gives me happy chills is starting at 2:54 when they start singing their own parts in that gorgeous harmony!
This is one of the most beutiful moments in telivision. You can really see how much Giles loves her and he knows he has to back down, great acting by Anthony, brings tears to my eyeys allways
I usually do okay emotions wise in this song until it hits the "I wish I could lay your arms down, and let you rest at last" part. When you really think about it, being The Slayer is such a miserable existence, that demands you sacrifice so much, and even if you make those sacrifices and save the world, there is no reward, no retirement, just more of the same. All Giles wants for Buffy is the rest she has more than earned, but he knows that she won't ever get it. Heartbreaking.
Especially combined with the next line. “Wish I could slay your demons, but now that time has past.” If Giles could fight her battles- both physically and metaphorically- you know he would in a heartbeat, because he knows the toll it takes on Buffy. But she’s the Slayer, not him, and he knows she’s leaning too heavily on him as it is. It’s breaking him, but he’s trying to do what’s best
And then, when you make the final sacrifice, and you get rest at last... your damn friends come along and rip you out of heaven. For pretty selfish reasons, i might add.
I also don't think I'm particularly emotional...I don't know if it has to do with age or what, but this song makes my throat go from O to o...sitting here like "aheem AHEEEEEM....AAAAAAAAHEEEEEEEEM"
I always thought she was worried that Willow would scoop out those parts of her that were inconvenient. Kind of like being made a Stepford Wife. Also her family tried oppressing and manipulating her (and apparently her mother), so she knows what a bad relationship looks like
Tara was bathed in sunlight in the first song but in the reprise she is bathed in moonlight because she now knows what willow has done to her poor Tara treated like shit all her life by her family by glory and even by willow
@@McBenjiii I disagree. The character was treated and valued very high. Tara was immensely important for several characters to develop. Her entire story arc just makes sense. From the set up the one of the most heartbreaking deaths in a series i ever saw she was written superb and casted well. A character that is so immensly important to the story and loved by so many people out there cant be done dirty by the show. Her death is not a sign of bad treatment. Desexualized, stong willed, intelligent character. Norm breaker and highjacking hearts of all genders. One of the best roles in the entire series.
Anthony Head has a beautiful voice - there’s something really mesmerising about it. Love this song and what it represents - it’s basically a father (Giles) singing to his surrogate daughter (Buffy) and his need to let her grow up despite wanting to protect her. I always loved their relationship.
GILES: Lyrics You're not ready for the world outside You keep pretending but you just can't hide i know i said that I'd be standing by your side... but I... Your paths unbeaten and it's all uphill and you can't meet it but you never will and i'm the reason you're your standing still but I... I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand Wish I could stay but now I understand I'm standing in the way The cries around you you don't here at all Coz you know i'm here to take that call So you just lie there when you should be standing tall but I.... I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last Wish I could slay your demons but now that time has passed Wish i could stay You're stallwort standing fast But I'm standing in the way, I'm just standing in the way TARA: I'm under your spell God how could this be? Playing with my memory You know I've been through hell Willow don't you see? There'll be nothing left of me You made me believe Giles: believe me i don't wanna go Both: and it'll grieve me coz i love you so but we both know Giles: Wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land (Tara: Wish I could trust that it was just this once but i must do what i must) Giles: Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand (Tara: Can't adjust to this disgust, which I, And I just wish i could) Both: Staaaaay wish I could stay wish I could stay wish I could....stay...
The main 2 that Could Sing(along with James Marsters) before they started, but play the 2 Quietest characters. It really comes out as an Emotional Moment in the music. When Tara describes her Great relationship with Willow as "Disgust", I cried!
I love how Giles went from being the grumpy grandpa of the group, to actually being the father of the group... He wants so much for Buffy to be the best she can be, but he feels like he's holding her back... Like, a father, he feels he must leave her so she can spread her wings and have her own life... I love his character development so much, and Anthony Head has a nice singing voice
Steve Hodgetts Giles has filled the place where Buffys father used to be .Buffy has been without a father and Giles as her Watcher her teacher and protector has become the father she lost.
I'm just lying in bed in the middle of the night listening to this song over and over and over and crying my eyes out every time. When they sing that first note together it just feels like the music is ripping out my soul. God, it's so beautiful.
Monday morning...... Joss: Hey, we should do a musical episode. Cast: well, that'd be great, but there's the storyline, the songs to fit the storyline, it's just a huge undertaking, boss. Joss: Oh, I did all that over the weekend. Cast: ..............................of course you did.
Lol agreed! As a kid a never noticed how her wrists were. But on rewatch I was like “that’s a good way to break your wrist. Didn’t Giles ever teach you how to punch properly?” 🤦♀️ Proper punching was one of the first lessons I learned in martial arts. I guess Slayer strength means you don’t need proper technique. 🤷♀️ Anyway, I still love this show, it meant everything when I was little. And I do rewatch it every few years. Though now I often notice mistakes and things like when Buffy and her stunt double switch for fight scenes. Makes me wish I could go back in time and enjoy this series for the first time again.
To be honest, this song isn't my favorite 'cause compared to the other tracks like "What can we face" or "Walk through the fire" due to their sing-along choruses (though I love the way Anthony Stewart Head and Amber Benson sings) but then the part where Giles comes right in for a duet after Tara's last note: "Believe me I don't want to go...", I completely fell in love with it. That whole sequence where it continues with "Wish I could..." ugh it's so beautiful.
I think its cool when Giles is singing about loving Buffy like a daughter and Tara is talking about the other kind of love but somehow their lyrics fit together.
@@vladskiobi Then you're not straight. I'm straight and the thought of me doing anything sexual with a woman grosses me out. I don't even like most men, but they're definitely the only ones I'm attracted to.
Isn't amazing how with singing you can have competing/separate lines being sung and hear and understand them both. While talking it would just be garbled?
Giles: You’re not ready for the world outside You keep pretending, but you just can’t hide I know I said that I’d be standing by your side But I... You’re paths unbeaten and it’s all uphill And you can meet it, but you never will And I’m the reason that you’re standing still But I...

I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last Wish I could slay your demons, but now that time has passed Wish I could stay here, your stalwart, standing fast But I’m standing in the way I’m just standing in the way Buffy: Did you say something? Tara: I’m under your spell God how can this be? Playing with my memory You know I’ve been through hell Willow don’t you see? There’ll be nothing left of me You made me believe Giles: Believe me I don’t wanna go Both: And it’ll grieve me cause I love you so But we both know Giles: Wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land (Tara: wish I could trust that it was just this once, but I must do what I must) Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand (I can’t adjust to this disgust, we’re done, and I just wish I could...) Both: Stay Wish I could stay Wish I could stay Wish I could stay
I'm the monster I'm the villain What perfection What precision Clean insicions I deliver Unscathed organs I deliver Repossessions I deliver I'm the Repo, Legal Assassin
My only problem with this clip is it's should've been a little bit longer to show Tara and Giles look at each other afterwards. They know what they sang, they both know they need to leave.
@@RitsychServare no she was refering to the mind fuck she got from Glory. (If people keep messing with my mind there'll be nothing left of me.) Is what she meant.
@@ooodatsgottahurt1625 yes, I get that. I thought that maybe it was an ambiguous thought of hers, that she had an inkling of her inevitable death in this season.
@@RitsychServare It wasn't ambiguous. The "wish I could stay" line seems the most ambiguous possibly foreshadowing her death but even if it was she had no idea.
Tony Head and Amber Benson SLAYED this episode. No pun intended.
Nah fuck that all puns intended
admit it, the pun was intended.
I'm french and the french voice of buffy is very good but in VO what a mess full of autotune.
But VO is the opposite for VF everyone is really really good but Buffy.
VF everyone is really bad but Buffy XD
And like you said Tony and Amber Slayed the episode !
Okay. Took me 4 years to admit, but...pun intended.
A perfect duet.
still gives me the chills, especially when they start singing together
Me too.... in 2019
Chills every time
It's so beautiful and i still tear up even after all these years 💔😭
January 2021...yup, STILL gives the chills.
Anthony Head and Amber Benson are the only trained singers in the cast. And it shows.
I swear I straight up start tearing up when Giles sits down “wish I could play the father”
Me 2
@@MagicalSam89 feel the same
Wasn’t he, at one point, attracted to Joyce?
I think Amber and Anthony really did a splendid job
So do I.
They were the best singers in the episode, by far!
They both have musical theater backrounds, so small wonder. (Tony's album is awesome, btw.)
Rampala so was Spike/James
Deniyell McMillian The two best singers in the Musical episode. I think Antony Head has been in musicals before I don't know what Ambers previous experience is.

his voice is just magic
Lapin Durand have you seen him in Repo! The Genetic Opera ? He's so good!
I think that Giles has a great singing voice and I think it's sweet that he wishes that he could play the father.
+Rowan07001484 Well, I think Giles is both Buffy's and Willow's father figure.
+Csenge Bazsó-Dombi and xander

This show meant the world to me when I was 13, it helped me through high school...it will still forever be in my heart. God this song is magic
I'm 19 now and in university, I watched Buffy to help me through it once again
Same here it was a shelter for me when I was a teen
2:57 when Tara sings “but I must do what I must” just hits those notes emotionally and musically so incredibly well
I usually do okay emotions wise in this song until it hits the "I wish I could lay your arms down, and let you rest at last" part.

After all this time?
"Always."
I always tear up when Giles and Tara start singing together.
every.goddamn.time.
Cat Tube,,, don't text that GD word.
I love the moments when he gets to be a badass and we get to see glimpses of the old Ripper.
SuperGodlike101 Why was he even called the Ripper?
Because he ripped people open. He was violent, angry and rebellious.
I would totally watch a show just about Giles.
Rampala I would too.
A Ripper show was said to be an idea for a spinoff that Joss had
"Willow, don't you see...?"
^ The saddest part, for me.
Daina Leigh Giles letting go for Buffy gets me honestly I wish I could stay...
When Tara sings "you know I have been through hell" gets me every time because Willow the love of her life has been betraying her
its sad cuz just after Glory fucked Tara's mind, her lover does the same :(
I always thought she was worried that Willow would scoop out those parts of her that were inconvenient. Kind of like being made a Stepford Wife. Also her family tried oppressing and manipulating her (and apparently her mother), so she knows what a bad relationship looks like

Whatever Willow was gonna do to those asshole wasn't enough.
The part when she ramsay boltons that guy was pretty fuckin dope, though.
Still one of the best relationships in tv... ever.
Giles acted sang the hell out of this song, you could hear the turmoil in his voice and see it on his face. This episode is a freaking classic

he did so much for Buffy and the whole gang🎶💞💕
This song came on and I just started singing, without realizing that I was.
Best musical episode of a serie ever!!! And this song is still my favourite
C'est incroyable cet épisode. Quelle performance des acteurs !
The songwriters for this episode deserved either an Emmy or a Grammy.
Joss Whedon.
I absolutely love the part where he holds his hand out.
Nah not me. I find it corny.
Tara is so beautiful.
never fails to make me cry
I'm so glade they had him play in Repo the Gentic Opera, he's really good at acting and his singing is amazing!!!!!!
the world needs more buffy.
I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last. 😭😭😭😢😢 he loves her so much
I forgot how much I love to Giles song. Always got the lyrics mix up in my head though.
Isn't amazing how with singing you can have competing/separate lines being sung and hear and understand them both. While talking it would just be garbled?
2:21 That due of Tara with Giles is the best of this musical, both sign great, the song is great and the script fix perfect with that moment.
Love this song... wish there was more of these 2 singing together
I love this song. All the songs. Actually the whole dann series!
Tara chante tellement bien ❤️❤️❤️
The Giles and Tara duet gets me every time. Talk about talent!
My two favorite characters…love them sm…💔
Giles gives me goosebumps when he sings this song
I love Giles voice
Tara is beautiful
Still gives me chills totally crushing on Giles
one of the most heartbreaking songs ive heard honestly. so beautiful.
Great tv show, i have to watch it from time to time!. And this episodo was the greatest!!. Great songs!!
Ugh GILES IS BASICALLY BUFFY'S DAD! WHAT IS THIS UNHOLY SHIPPING IN THE COMMENTS??!!
they are all going to hell
he was literally designed as a surrogate father figure
KosmiskRevolution all what is wrong with you
I mean, people ship Anna and Elsa and they're literal sisters. *shrug* I don't get it either, but to each their own.
This shit also happens in the Batman fandom. And it's just as maddening there.
whoop there goes my mascara
It took me a minute to understand what you meant:))
Great comment tho
Csenge Bazsó-Dombi im lost lol
Best one on this episode. SO. MANY. CHILLS. absolutely fuckin' awesome! When they start singing together the goosebumps are THROUGH THE ROOF ffs 😭😭😭❤️
This makes me cry cause Giles could never adopt buffy like he probably wanted.
Tara was soooooooo stunningly beautiful and Giles was, is, and always will be the fucking man.
Musically, the most beautiful part of the episode for sure!!
this is literally my favorite song rn
Still in 2024 one of the best series ever❤
As much as I like BTS, given that the crap poured out in 2024 that does not mean much.
Tara und Giles teaming up - better than any Avengers movie!
yeocalypso Also better than Justice League!
God i love buffy. I watched the new episodes every week. One of my top shows for life. And it is still just as good!!
This is my fav episode
Gosh their voices together wish Tony Head & Amber Benson had done a whole album together. They combine so beautifully
That would have been amazing. But Amber did sing on a couple of tracks on Tony's album Music For Elevators, so at least there's that.

This is my favorite song of all of them
Foreshadowing “willow don’t you see there’ll be nothing left of me” it’s like she knew seeing red would happen
This is my favourite ‘once more with feeling’ song because Giles is the dad I wished I had.
what an amazing voice.
Best song in the episode
Anthony's voice literally brings me to tears... Incredible!
Taras voice 😍😍😍😍
I'm the monster
I'm the villain
What perfection
What precision
Clean insicions I deliver
Unscathed organs I deliver
Repossessions I deliver
I'm the Repo, Legal Assassin
I love this song ,,Wish I could Stay,, it's womantic,,and it's sweet to hear🥰
I love this song best of the musical episode.
this episode took the logistical issue of only having two actors that could actually sing and worked with it to make a really good parallel arc
Spike could sing to. But yeah, they worked well with what they had.
I Absolutely Love this Video!
he's got a great voice
Perfect singing x
My only problem with this clip is it's should've been a little bit longer to show Tara and Giles look at each other afterwards. They know what they sang, they both know they need to leave.
"willow don't you see? there'll be nothing left of me....."
OMG SHE KNEW SHE WAS GONNA DIE!
Cammy's Reviews fun fact, Amber knew since filming the 5th season finale episode that Tara was going to be killed... I guess not so fun fact.
@Leah Dominici yes, the actress knew that but did the character have some intuition of what was going to happen to her then?
@@RitsychServare no she was refering to the mind fuck she got from Glory. (If people keep messing with my mind there'll be nothing left of me.) Is what she meant.
@@ooodatsgottahurt1625 yes, I get that. I thought that maybe it was an ambiguous thought of hers, that she had an inkling of her inevitable death in this season.
@@RitsychServare It wasn't ambiguous. The "wish I could stay" line seems the most ambiguous possibly foreshadowing her death but even if it was she had no idea.
Tara’s reprisal of Under Your Spell is such a gut punch every time UGH 😭
love his voice❤
I’d love a show about young Giles/Ripper.
