This is the music from Season 5, Episode 22, when Buffy makes the decision to sacrifice herself to save her sister and the world. The saddest Buffy music ever!
Played this at my brothers funeral, we loved buffy and he truly was my hero...so he should get beautiful music for his send off....see you soon brother ❤
i think the way season 5 endend shows how buffy matured. in the first season she was only 16 she couldn't imagine her life ending but after four years of constant battles she found a way to save the world and find peace. R.I.P. Buffy Anne Summers She saved the world a lot!
This was proabably the biggest moment in Buffy because the show was about dealing with the Unwanted destiny of being the Slayer until the day she died and that Buffy's No 1 rule was not to die and in that moment of realising Dawn was about to sacrifice herself she see that Dawn had been given the gift of life, and the reason why when so many others don't know why they live, and saving the innocent at the Risk/Cost of her own life was her Gift, she Sacrificed herself to protect those she loved
"Buffy Anne Summers, 1981-2001 Soeur bien-aimée, amie dévouée, elle a souvent sauver le monde." Cela fait un ou deux ans que je n'ai pas regarder Buffy, et je peux vous assurer, que ces inscriptions, ne sont jamais sorties de ma tête.
a month before 2023 now and love for this show is still going strong. Didn't get to watch it until my 30s (was sheltered as a kid), but so glad i found it.
I just started rewatching the entire series and I keep finding myself thinking that I can't believe how *good* it is, and wonder how it is that in all these years there's really nothing else that's been on TV that compares - I'm so glad I have 7 seasons (fewer would be a travesty) yet am so sad there wasn't more. If your gf doesn't love it, break up - there's something wrong with her heart.
This song is so bittersweet. Perfect for Buffy's death scene, because it truly captures the dire nature of the situation, but also that there is hope, a light at the end of the tunnel.
I once saw a really sad edit that actually made me cry...Spike in season two, with a picture of him saying to Drusilla "I'll dance on the Slayer's grave!" And then the next picture was him crying over her body.
Thats when it was too real for me... i knew he loved her for real it wasnt just lust... his face of horror when he knew he’d failed to keep dawn safe and was thrown from the tower, him stumbling to find her body and just being utterly broken... my heart!
hated the moment buffy jumped i know she had to to save the world but the minute this music started i was gone tears flowing and then the final scene on her grave with the words 'She saved the world alot'
Christophe Beck and Robert Duncan really did this show justice. Absolutely gorgeous score especially for 90s & early 2000s tv considering most of it was synth and bland but this score...excellent! Thanks for the upload!!
This ("Sacrifice") and the Buffy/Angel theme are the two best pieces from the series. Powerful, touching and unforgettable. The cover of "Wild Horses" by The Sundays from season three also makes it one of most memorable from the series.
Your blood is just like mine, summers blood. It's always got to be blood. The monks made her out of me. Death is your gift. Death? Is your gift. In that moment it was all so clear. I also like how it plays earlier in the ep where Buffy wishes her mom was here. Thinking a slayer was just a killer. Then it became clear.
i cry everytime. i remember when their mother died i thought it wouldve been the most tragic thing ever, then buffy died. and i just couldnt help it. knowing how Dawn felt. i was in 5th grade and my mother passed from asthma and my sister took me in , my sister only being 24. i quickly began to see how life is. Tough, Cruel, Not Fair. but everything becomes better. you live without that person knowing they are okay. knowing you -will see them again one day. life gets better. its really does...
+Xehanort10 I really feel bad for Ben. When I watched the season 5, I thought Buffy was like able to exorcise Glory from him and duplicate her in a new one. But then I remember what Mr.Whedon did to mama Summers and yep, it wasnt a happy ending for him. Happy ending doesnt exist because we all die in the End. Buffy The Vampire Slayer taught me more than anything ive see, lived or experimented from my young life. That's what you call this a good piece of art.
When 'The Gift" first aired, and the series ended on the WB, I felt such an empty, hollow feeling. I had never been so attached to a tv show in my life. Although I knew BTVS was coming back on another network, it never had the same vibe as it did on the WB. And with Angel still on the WB, it changed. So in a way, BTVS really 'did' die. I was sad. And this episode still brings me to tears...esp Spike breaking down. Damn.
loveloses I had issues with Season 6 when it first aired. But I watched it recently as an adult trying to survive on my own and living paycheck from paycheck. A lot of the themes of that Season really resonated with me as an adult than they did when I watched it as a young adult in his early 20s.
I find season 4 to be the weakest in the series really. All season 6 "lacks" is some sort of super villain at the end like in the other seasons, instead we get an angry Willow and that's it.
No Buffy season was 'the same' as the previous one. And season 6 was amazing. I have issues with season 7, but its ending was much more fitting than the one from The Gift would have been. I love The Gift, but I would have absolutely hated it if it had been the series finale. It would have undermined the entire message of the show, if the final take had been that Buffy was to die at age 20 like most Slayers before her.
Ya know, I created an account on here JUST so I could say, this piece of music is absolutely beautiful, It's sweet yet heart wrenching at the same time, hard to explain lol. Also I absolutely adore the show lol
Buffy wore white both times when she died. The first time, she wore the white dress, as the fragile girl who had the powerful demeanour. The second time, she wore a casual knitted white jumper, as the strong woman who knew that she could do what she aimed for.
Technically she flatlined from Warren's bullet; Dark Willow magically removed it and revived her. I think it was meant as a sort of a callback to Xander reviving her in PG, but within a much different context. She was wearing white (and grey) then too. I'm not sure the death of Wishverse!Buffy counts, but part of the point of that was that the "verse" (in this case the wishverse) could not outlast the death of the person who was supposed to be the protagonist but didn't want to be a hero much less have an active interest in living; it could very well survive the death of someone who thought of herself as a protagonist but in fact was a supporting player (Cordy).
Funny! When i'm sad or upset about something, i come here and i listen to this song! And It's bringing back so many memories! Then i say to myself that no matter what is happening in my life, i had a wonderful childhood and i grew up watching wonderful shows like this! Love you Buffy! :D
"Dawn, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will *always* love you. But this is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles... tell Giles I figured it out. And, and I'm okay. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world... is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me" If you didnt cry when you first heard that your feels were broken!!
Just one of the scenes that encapsulated my childhood. That rye smile on her face as she realized what her gift was. The scene solely responsible for making Dawn a likable character in any way. Only drawback as a Spike fanatic was his breakdown hammered home to me that he was lost in her, the character I grew to love as a villain wasn't going to come back. Other than that, profoundly powerful stuff watching this as a teenager.
Sacrifice, along with Close Your Eyes, Remembering Jenny and The Final Fight whose epicness I just recalled always guarantees floods of tears if you ever need a real good true cry. Not just for the association with what happened in the TV show but personal life memories and helps one to let out past and present pain and anguish but is also there to just reminisce with and enjoy the masterpiece that it is. The Final Fight is such an emotional yet empowering piece of music that always communicates to me that I can bad ass my way through anything. The Final Fight both in its original length and Long Version have always been and will be brilliant. I'm so grateful to have found all these scores and many more on this channel. So far I've found The Final Fight Long Version. Which I'm so grateful for. I do secretly hope the original length has been posted also. I have found the original just over 4 minutes version of The Final Fight on another channel. If you're reading this and are wanting to listen to it as well search The Final Fight Robert Duncan. The 4 minutes 2-3 seconds version will pop up. Radio Sunnydale is the image on the video. You're welcome in advance. ❤ P.S sorry to this channel if they also posted the shorter version and I just couldn’t find it.
"Dawn listen to me listen i love you i will always love but this is the work that i have to do tell giles tell giles that i figured it out and and im okay you give my love to my friends you have to take car of them now you have to take care of each other you have to be strong dawn the hardest thing in this world is to live in it be brave live for me"
this still to this day makes my heart sink and my throat go sore lol! im majorly into buffy altho my family arnt theyv seen this episode and even they cried! so much work and effort went into this episode the cast are utter amazing aswell as producers etc
it is not false saying that music is the one that touch the heart the most, when first watch "The Gift" in combination with story and music, i cried not much but still, although i am male and you may think you should be strong not crying, i simply couldnt help myself, taking that i lost two dogs recently (one that i had for fifteen years from my 12h year, i was broken, this song only help throwing it out of me, even now i feel that this and the last battle(song) were among top 10 for me, and Buffy is the best show to me, i learn lot on watching it, such shame it was cancelled,
+Zagoreni02A No, it's not true. Male or not, everybody has the right to cry. It's not a shame, there's nothing to be ashamed of, you're just a human being. So just cry.
I remember the first time I ever saw this episode, I cried and cried loads because I was only little and Buffy was my hero and I thought she'd gone forever. When she returned I don't think I'd ever been so happy in my whole entire life xD
The thing that surprises me most listening to this is I know when Buffy hits the portal (about 1:01) just from the music. ...That's actually the first time I've ever been able to do that with just music.
When I'm old and grey, this will be one of my funeral songs.. Adore Buffy it has helped me through so much, and I want to leave the world, with the most inspirational programme I know. x
I can't even come up with a witty comment when listening to this. This is beautiful, and the episode made me cry, and i cry when i listen to this song. I love Buffy, she's amazing, and even though it sounds stupid, i just think of her when my life is getting too rough. She gave up her normal life when she was just 15 and she looses so much, gains so much, get's stabbed through the chest, but she's still always left standing. She'll always be My Slayer
I'm 16 will be 17 in 4 months I think my mom introduced me to buffy when I was like 11 and I wanted it so she got me the 1st season I was hooked will always be one of my fav shows thanks mom 😛
i never said you wer imposing it or bullying me, but you wer aiming your first comment at someone else wich in my eyes is stupid, wer not in church we are on youtube, i have respect for all things religouse but theres a lin between church and something online inwich she wasnt bashing anything or anyone, dont take it over the top
This song made me think of wen my two grandparents died and sitting at every one of their funerals silently crying in the bac of the room. i really like this song and thank u!

"In their last moments people show you who they really are" and buffy showed us that she's a hero. She will always be my hero. She's been through so much in her life, all the losses and all the tough choices she's had to make. yet, she's still standing. She's taught me a lot. Buffy
