2024 a classic, and it shows how depressing buffy really was.. saving the world, and never really understood, because of the weight she had to carry she had friends, but they could never understand the weight on her shoulders
One of the most devastating and emotional scenes of the entire series - and there were many. It still resonates 20 years later. And this is for me the definitive version of Goodbye to You. So raw and heartbreaking. It never made sense to me that this wasn't the version used for the single and video. It's perfection.
This is the best version and video for this song. The only downside is you can’t show someone this Video who is in the middle of watching Buffy or just about to watch it. So many spoilers in one video
@@kimkong1413 Yes, "The Body" is my choice for most devastating scene of the entire series. The first time I saw it, it kind of made me relive my own mom‘s death. Not an easy episode to watch. But that’s the power of it.
Sometimes I rewatch this scene just to make myself sad. It works every time. Michelle Branch’s voice. The song. Buffy just got pulled out of heaven and back into the world. Tara and Willow broke up. Tara moves out. Giles is moving back to Britain. The tension between Spike and Buffy. Dawn is upset that Tara is moving out. Spike and Buffy have their first kiss. It’s all too much for my fragile heart. Imma go watch it again. My favorite scene in all cinematic history.
I agree with everything you said, except this wasn't Spike and Buffy's first kiss. Putting aside all of their magical engagement kisses and the chaste kiss she gave him while pretending to be Robo Buffy, they smooched at the end of Once More Than Feeling, the episode before this.
@@EllieRoseMcKee I actually count the one from season 5. She already had the information she wanted, and the kiss was to thank him for almost dying for her and Dawn. She knew if she kissed him he'd know it was her, and he did. It's a shift from "You are beneath me" in Fool for Love, moving toward the bond they develop in the beginning of season 6 leading up to the kiss in Once More With Feeling.
@@greeslyvalbuena5170 Buffy wasn’t pretending to be a robot at the end of Once More with Feeling. That was Intervention, the episode the Buffy Bot was introduced. So first kiss was Intervention, second was Once More with Feeling, third was Tabula Rasa
Very much so and this is part of why i loved UPN and WB. The way their shows used music in drama series got me into so much music that I wouldn't have otherwise and this applies also toh shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Dawsons Creek and Gossip Girl and The OC.
Rewatching Buffy now and... OMG, this kiss, THIS KISS!!!!! I remember I was so hopeless the first time I saw this, when Buffy turns her head... and then, in the end, that surprise! Gosh. I wish I was that age again and was watching Buffy for the first time...
Yh me too i was 8 when Buffy first came out me and my family watched it every week it was on and Angel when it came out me and my family were and are big fans of Buffy and Angel the tv series
I'm also rewatching Buffy, I'm two episodes from the end and I don't want to get there. It breaks my heart. So I pause and come to watch spuffy videos. This episode ... this kiss
I was 16 when this season of Buffy aired. I was finishing high school, had my first proper girlfriend who was also a Buffy fan, I was about to go to college. I definitely think shows that you love hold a piece of you in that time
And no one remembers - but Giles kissed the goddess Anya in that eppy (while in the confusion of a spell). Now THAT must be one of the most desirable achievements of humanity. One moment that makes me wish I was born as him!
It's so hard to describe to people who have never watched Buffy how unbelievably brilliant it is. And this moment - when Tara leaves Willow in season 6 - is the gut-wrenching emotional climax of the best season of televsion ever filmed. Michelle Branch sings ... my soul shreds into pieces ... my eyes fill with tears ... my heart breaks all over again. Perfection.
@@scottwallbank4794 Yes but with this song when each character in the show seemed to be going in a separate direction hit hard, Willow from her partner Tara, Giles from being Buffy's watcher and Buffy from her friends down into the darkness where only Spike could provide the comfort that she needed. Fucking awesome representation on change with just a well placed song in said scenes.
Just rewatched the whole series on Hulu, amazing how they grew through the seasons. I know the dialog as well as they, I think. It was a unique phenomenon, dealing with issues that were relevant in my own teens in beautiful, heart rending and soaring ways. Some is cringeworthy in 2019, but it broke new ground and is still tremendously entertaining and nuanced. Great music throughout the series, but this is special in a lot of ways. I still miss this show. And a lot more, I've lost both my sons so this song gives me tears for that as well as the events it pertains to. I think it perfect for this episode.
@@genej101 - My condolences on the loss of your sons. I can't even imagine the pain you must feel, especially during this scene and listening to that song. I have the series on DVD and I've watched it so many time over the years - 12 (maybe 13) times at last count. It's my favorite TV show of all time. It doesn't matter how many articles I read entitled "Things You Should Get Rid of Now", I'll never give my DVDs up because I want to be sure I can watch 'Buffy' any time I want.
I remember this scene like it was yesterday. Now that I’m 30, I can resonate so strongly with Dawn not understanding the impact of a betrayal and Tara leaving a relationship with a toxic flaw. Buffy will forever be my favourite show ever.
That's not it. Dawn was suffering from abandonment issues. Hank is never around. Joyce died. Buffy died, came back but was emotionally checked out. Giles left the country. Tara moved out of the house. That's why Dawn made a wish for people to stop leaving her.
@@gabelogan5877 I don’t quite agree that’s the case for this scenario. While she had to deal with the trauma from the previous season, this particular scene relates to Tara leaving her home.
@@TheFantasticScot you're entitled to your opinion. 🙏🏾 I still stand by mine that Dawn is dealing with abandonment issues and sees Tara as yet another adult leaving her. I believe the followup episode even has Tara bribing her with a milkshake and telling her that her leaving the house has nothing to do with her.
@@gabelogan5877 I think you are both right. Dawn has abandonment issues and she does see Tara as yet another adult leaving her, but this feeling is amplified because she doesn’t fully understand why Tara is leaving. She is too young to understand this kind of betrayal and the impact of what Willow did to Tara, so instead she focuses on the fact that Tara is leaving *her*. That’s why she pulls away from Tara in this montage rather than supporting and understanding her decision.
@@RainbowPawPrint I don't think Dawn has all the information. Obviously she knows Willow is responsible for screwing up a mind forgetting spell but I doubt she knows this is the second time Willow used this spell on Tara. Nor do I believe Tara expressed how painful Glory's intrusion in her mind to Dawn. So she wouldn't have a full context of what went down between the two. Its kind of like when a child's parents divorced even though they never argued in front of their child. They would be confused
I know the episode well and the buildup to it! It gets more emotional as it progresses! You'll end up feeling bad for Spike but it gets way better in the end!
It's 2024 already but still I'm into Buffy u know, its still my favorite show ever and I keep on repeating it until now 😍😍❤️❤️💯 so Buffy is still the best that 💯💯👍👍😍😍
There’s never been a song more perfectly matched to a show, scene, than this. Michelle was wonderful as were the scenes. Beautiful story, beautiful song. Will never forget this. Will forever love her, the show, everything. Just pure magic. Haunting me still. So powerful, so right.
The camera work and editing are so good! Kind of unusual how they cut closer to Willow in the bath but it works! And the POV camera that walks us through the Bronze until we spot Buffy and Spike. The way we see all of their sad faces with a similar pan to show how they're all connected by their pain. It's kind of like a music video in its experimental editing and lack of dialogue but tells so many distinct and clear stories, I don't know, I just really like everything about it.
Of all the things I've believed in I just want to get it over with Tears from behind my eyes, but I do not cry Counting the days pass me by I've been searchin' deep down in my soul Words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old It feels like I'm startin' all over again The last three years were just pretend And I said Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to I still get lost in your eyes And it seems that I can't live a day without you Closin' my eyes, and you chase my thoughts away To a place where I am blinded by the light But it's not right Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to And it hurts to want everything And nothin' at the same time I want what's yours, and I want what's mine I want you, but I'm not givin' in this time Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to The one thing that I tried to hold on to Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved
i felt so bad for dawn tara really stepped up and took good care of her while buffy was dead. it showed a whole new side of tara and i liked her more for that
I just realized Michelle Branch is born the same month as me... I was just a High School kid watching Buffy, and she was already famous and playing her songs in it lol ^^ Amazing talent
I haven’t listened to this song since middle school but it’s still so powerful how it resonates. This, for me, was a shift in the show. Buffy relied so much on her friends and loved ones but now the family has splintered off at the exact time she needs them the most. She seeks comfort in Spike because she doesn’t need to wear a mask of happiness around him. She can just be hurt and damaged. Willow and Tara’s breakup devastates Dawn because she knows she can’t rely on Buffy as she’s always distant and not really present. Willow without the love of Tara to anchor her casts her adrift. Xander and Anya are around but they’re focused on their upcoming nuptials. And Giles, the surrogate father leaves which signals they need to all stand on their own two feet. Yet without his guidance and care, they all succumb to their worst impulses.
This is my first full on watch of buffy because of Disney+ and to say this scene got me is a understatement just goes to show how well this show keeps up over time
The look on Tara's face when Dawn ran off... She's devastated for so many reasons in this episode 1 willow is emotionally and magically abusing and manipulating her 2 her "found family" (where she has found the love and acceptance she couldn't with her blood fanily) is falling apart 3 it seems to her like either everyone is too lost in their own problems to care or that they outright blame her for what's happening
Love the fact that Michelle Branch was a musical guest in two of my favorite fantasy/supernatural shows growing up (this and Charmed) and the fact that she sang the same song too.
This show used the occasional piece of live music beautifully. Great to watch and listen to. Dawn running away is so perfect. Willow, Giles, Buffy & Tara are all on the verge of tears, yes, even Giles has that "I could cry if wasn't holding back the tears" look. Dawn was pissed, which hurt Tara even more cause she was doing what she felt she had to. Such a great scene.
I agree. You can bunch seasons 1-3 together with the high school/finding it's feet phase, season 4 is a good stand-alone with college and growing up, 5-6 starts to get a bit darker but has something that makes it really work. Season 7, for me personally, just didn't feel like it belonged.
@@MrIncendiarydevice like what? Doesn’t mean there aren’t great shows out there. Just saying they won’t make something like buffy ever again. I highly doubt it anyway
¡Qué buena serie! ¡Qué buena época! Y aunque ya tengo una treintena, nunca olvidaré cómo Buffy marcó mi juventud ni cómo la pantalla de Fox fue el talón de fondo de mi vida en ese momento. PD. Michelle Branch nunca fue realmente valorada y es una pena. Tiene. Muy buenas canciones.
I sold my house and moved across the country, and Buffy was not on any of the channels at the hotel where we were staying. I saw the last 4 episodes 7 or 8 years later, but I saw this on MTV (remember when there was music on music TV), and it stuck with me as I missed out. The song made me so sad in a few ways. makes me cry almost cannot watch it but love the song so much.
@@num1Jaystaat that time-when she came out-I felt like they were really pushing her on us. I was in college and worked at a record store, and we played her constantly. I do think time has softened my opinion of her music tho.
Star Trek Deep Space 9 and Buffy. I’d be perfectly fine just watching those shows forever. I’ve been a professional musician for 28 years, played all over the world and The Bronze is still my dream gig!
This was my and my ex's breakup song. We were huge Buffy fans and our break up was the same time as this point in the series. Song still makes me weep all these years later.
2023 and this is a fucking relic!!! This song has more emotion/depth than the acoustic version. The Spirit Room version of this song is more mellow but still good
easily one of the most emotional moments, not even in the middle of watching a season or anything atm, but Michelle brings so much emotion, combined with characters we know and love so well, you're instantly plugged into the moment and hurting for all. so well done.
2021 here. This show was amazing, and can never be rebooted or remade. The powerful emotional scenes can only be done right once. Leave this show alone make sequels not REBOOTS. Poor willow even though she did that to Tara you cant help but feel so devastated for her. Giles should not have left, that was a huge mistake for him to retire thinking the slayer was a master of every situation and no longer needed his advice or help. ( Glorificus ) teaches them that lesson.
It’s not that people don’t like change. Shows like this remind you of how shallow things have become. Musicians aren’t like this anymore and neither is television. During this time the world had soul
two episodes from the end and I don't want it to end. I pause and watch spuffy videos. what a great great series. this song, this episode and that final kiss. love
Here in 2024. Buffy will always remain in my heart. ❤
I'm watching every clip I can find since a few weeks ago, I love this show, best ever.
Yup! Started watching in 2007 when I was 8 and I've loved it ever since
One of the best tv shows
Here with you in 2024! Buffy is timeless!!!!
Its stuck in mine it won't escape me.
Anyone still here in 2020! Buffy is a classic, and this still gives me goosebumps!
BUFFY IS MY LIFE
Here I am and I was born on '96 🙄😂😂💃🏻
I was born in 2003 and I’m only on season 4 but I’m obsessed wishhhh I was a 90s teen so bad
Yaaas!!!!
Xd
2024
a classic, and it shows how depressing buffy really was..
saving the world, and never really understood, because of the weight she had to carry
she had friends, but they could never understand the weight on her shoulders
Xander knew.
@@XthegreatwhyX i think xander was smarter than he let on

It *really* does. My fave version for sure.

The thing that always got me was Michelle doing 75-80% of this song with just her guitar and voice! So powerful and talented!!!
She's by far more talented and classy than the likes of Taylor Swift or Mylie Virus.
Some pretty incredible music was performed at The Bronze.
Yeah well it’s California….. lots of talent there.
Dingoes Ate My Baby are still the best imo.
Imagine Soundgarden performing this song at The Bronze. ruclips.net/video/D3ZNtOcY_1A/видео.html

Michelle Branch meant so much to me growing up. Literally such a saving grace for me. Buffy is the same for me. Gods I love this series so much.
That means canonically there's a version of Michelle branch thats in the buffyverse lol
I have watched Buffy so many times I've forgotten how many. My kids all adults now, grew up loving Buffy too. Buffy is a timeless classic.
2022 and buffy still gives me chills
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears from behind my eyes, but I do not cry
Counting the days pass me by
I've been searchin' deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old
It feels like I'm startin' all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closin' my eyes, and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything
And nothin' at the same time
I want what's yours, and I want what's mine
I want you, but I'm not givin' in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
Here for this in 2024. As I was there to watch this scene in it's original airing. Am I just old?
i felt so bad for dawn tara really stepped up and took good care of her while buffy was dead. it showed a whole new side of tara and i liked her more for that
I left my heart ❤️ in the late 90s
I just realized Michelle Branch is born the same month as me... I was just a High School kid watching Buffy, and she was already famous and playing her songs in it lol ^^ Amazing talent

This is my first full on watch of buffy because of Disney+ and to say this scene got me is a understatement just goes to show how well this show keeps up over time
The remastered buffy is trash. CW did a way better job with Charmed
I finally watched this episode full after watching this clip on RUclips for like three years
The look on Tara's face when Dawn ran off... She's devastated for so many reasons in this episode
1 willow is emotionally and magically abusing and manipulating her
2 her "found family" (where she has found the love and acceptance she couldn't with her blood fanily) is falling apart
3 it seems to her like either everyone is too lost in their own problems to care or that they outright blame her for what's happening
Love the fact that Michelle Branch was a musical guest in two of my favorite fantasy/supernatural shows growing up (this and Charmed) and the fact that she sang the same song too.
Rewatching Buffy …. Team Spuffy forever
Yeah!
I just finished watching all buffy the vampire slayer seasons again I can't even remember how many times ive watched it and its 2024 😊
2024 and still loving it
This show used the occasional piece of live music beautifully. Great to watch and listen to.
Dawn running away is so perfect. Willow, Giles, Buffy & Tara are all on the verge of tears, yes, even Giles has that "I could cry if wasn't holding back the tears" look. Dawn was pissed, which hurt Tara even more cause she was doing what she felt she had to. Such a great scene.
This is my favorite rendition of this song
Yeah agreed. I can't listen to the "regular" song. Lol
That episode ending hit deep and the song was the icing on the cake. Still shot to this day that Buffy and Spike hooked up omg
Honestly, leaving the credits puts this over the top and gives it an amazing A++. ❤❤
Best series ever this moment was heart breaking
April 2021 and I still love this episode and song. It's just so perfect! 💙
It was this scene that sparked my love for Michelle Branch, and was the reason this episode has remained so vivid in my memory
Streaming Buffy on tubi, and listening to all the good music from that show .
both season 5 and 6 and truly BTVS at its true heights.
I agree. You can bunch seasons 1-3 together with the high school/finding it's feet phase, season 4 is a good stand-alone with college and growing up, 5-6 starts to get a bit darker but has something that makes it really work. Season 7, for me personally, just didn't feel like it belonged.
Wished it could have continued longer. Still love this show now. Reminds me of my youth and the music they used for this show captured real emotion.
It’s 2022 and this song is still as good. Will they ever make a tv show that even compares to buffy?
They will never be able to make something like buffy the vampire slayer again
Quite a few, branch out of your bubble but that doesn't mean Buffy wasn't amazing
No I don’t think they will
@@MrIncendiarydevice like what? Doesn’t mean there aren’t great shows out there. Just saying they won’t make something like buffy ever again. I highly doubt it anyway
Battlestar Galactica is good (coming from a huge Buffy fan)
2024 this music was perfect and sad.
¡Qué buena serie! ¡Qué buena época! Y aunque ya tengo una treintena, nunca olvidaré cómo Buffy marcó mi juventud ni cómo la pantalla de Fox fue el talón de fondo de mi vida en ese momento. PD. Michelle Branch nunca fue realmente valorada y es una pena. Tiene. Muy buenas canciones.
I sold my house and moved across the country, and Buffy was not on any of the channels at the hotel where we were staying. I saw the last 4 episodes 7 or 8 years later, but I saw this on MTV (remember when there was music on music TV), and it stuck with me as I missed out. The song made me so sad in a few ways. makes me cry almost cannot watch it but love the song so much.
season 6 was pure chaos and I loved it so damn much!
I used to get lost in your eyes. And it seems I can't live a day without you. 😢 😭 😿 😢 😭
one of the my favourite scene in the series
2022 and still one of the most emotional scenes I've seen on tv
20 years on and I still cry at this! 💜💜💜
Not a Michelle Branch fan BUT this song, specifically this version, freaking amazing!
How?
@@num1Jaystahow what?
@@jw6948 How are you not a fan
@@num1Jaystaat that time-when she came out-I felt like they were really pushing her on us. I was in college and worked at a record store, and we played her constantly. I do think time has softened my opinion of her music tho.
best version of this song
2021 and this still gets me right in the same place it did back then!
2024 and I'm still watching.
Buffy saved my life many times x
I LIVE FOR THIS! I love music from Buffy. This songs really touch my heart deeply.
such a great tv series and i like the tv show actually put the bands in the shows in the 90's like buffy and charmed with dishwalla playing on stage
This singer is doing the soundtrack in two of my favorite shows, Buffy and Bojack Horseman
What song did she do for Bojack?

I will forever love this show!
Star Trek Deep Space 9 and Buffy. I’d be perfectly fine just watching those shows forever.
I’ve been a professional musician for 28 years, played all over the world and The Bronze is still my dream gig!
This version has so much emotion oh my god I’m gonna cry
I remember watching this before going to school. I was a wreck lol.
Did anyone else feel so deeply happy to see Buffy and Spike kiss?
No....I liked BTVS....never understood the hookup till I got older. Buffy was just looking to feel "something" ....
Red Foreman guessing you haven’t kept up with the ongoing comic were there to gather still
This song, to me, was a goodbye to Angel: And moving on to Spike
NOPE. I'LL ALWAYS BE TEAM BANGEL. I JUST LOVE THIS SONG.
They were still going strong through all the bullshit, that was great to see.
Still here in 2022 absolutely love this song and series ❤
Beautiful version
This was my and my ex's breakup song. We were huge Buffy fans and our break up was the same time as this point in the series. Song still makes me weep all these years later.
Best version of this song, period?
Michelle's voice in this performance is incredible!
2023 and this is a fucking relic!!! This song has more emotion/depth than the acoustic version. The Spirit Room version of this song is more mellow but still good
I love this version and I loved how well they edited this show for it
easily one of the most emotional moments, not even in the middle of watching a season or anything atm, but Michelle brings so much emotion, combined with characters we know and love so well, you're instantly plugged into the moment and hurting for all. so well done.
I can keep it together for 58 seconds, but as soon as I see Tara with the sweater in her hands my eyes get moist.
2021 here. This show was amazing, and can never be rebooted or remade. The powerful emotional scenes can only be done right once. Leave this show alone make sequels not REBOOTS.
Poor willow even though she did that to Tara you cant help but feel so devastated for her. Giles should not have left, that was a huge mistake for him to retire thinking the slayer was a master of every situation and no longer needed his advice or help. ( Glorificus ) teaches them that lesson.
The perfect break up song. It's so bittersweet.
i'd be lying if i said this wasn't one of my most watched videos
It’s not that people don’t like change. Shows like this remind you of how shallow things have become. Musicians aren’t like this anymore and neither is television. During this time the world had soul
after all these years im still distraught with the feels ugh
The best version of this song, IMHO
I loved the 90's when it's love it or hate it time to go moments.
this was 2001
Best show ever
Arguably the best series.
One of the best voices I have ever heard
6 or 7 times, the show used a song really well to sort of insert a rock video into the continuity of an episode. I loved it when they did that.
Here in 2023! Took me a long time before I realized this version wasn’t the original. It’s better.
There is no other character like Buffy ❤
The levels of iconic in this clip
2023 and still a classic
2025 and I still love this version.
everything about this brings back so many memories of my 1st girlfriend. 20yrs ago. what a fantastic time.
2025 Loving it
No disrespect to the TVD fandom (and I love Bamon) but Buffy did it first and in my humble opinion did it the best! Oh how I love me some Spuffy 😊!
all the disrespect cause btvs >>>>>> tvd
two episodes from the end and I don't want it to end. I pause and watch spuffy videos. what a great great series. this song, this episode and that final kiss. love
I finished it yesterday and even knowing what was happening with Spike, I can't help feeling sadness and emptiness. 😭
