I was glad that you did a show(s) on Buffy music, I have considered emailing and seeing if I would be cool enough to be a guest on the show and discuss this topic but am too darn lazy.
One thing that you didn’t mention was the connection between the theme song and the “The Final Fight” music from Chosen. If I am not mistaken “The Final Fight” uses essentially the same melody as the theme song. I love that contrast between the punk-esque theme song and the orchestral “Final Fight”. The Theme song is fun and edgy and makes a perfect match for the show, and the “Final Fight” music is so beautiful and full of pathos and seems a perfect tribute to all that our characters have been through and how they have changed and what has been lost.
Also, I was surprised that you didn’t mention “Only Love” from the episode Touched. I love that song and the music and lyrics are so fitting for that moment.
Finally, when I hear “Good Bye To You” at the end of Tabula Rasa as Buffy and Spike make out, I always think that the song is also about Buffy saying good bye to her old self and her old, pre death, way of being.
