30 Days of Buffy: Day 3

Day 3: Favorite Song Used In An Episode

I'm a bit of a sucker for the end of episode sad montage set to music.  This includes the following episode/music number combinations:
  • Becoming / Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlan
  • Tabula Rasa / Goodbye To You by Michelle Branch
  • Grave / Prayer of St Francis by Sarah McLachlan
  • Conversations With Dead People / Blue performed by Angie Hart
  • I'm sure there are more of these...
This device is almost a cliche in the world of Buffy, but it works on my every time.  My favorite use of this, though, is when it gets subverted at the end of Lover's Walk in the third season.  Everyone's sad and mopey and sad music plays over shots of everyone being alone.  Then, the music abruptly switches to My Way as Spike drives off to reclaim his lady-love, Drusilla.  Because Spike's awesome
