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...
Your path's 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 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 here
But now I understand
I'm standing in the way
The cries around you, you don't hear at all
'Cuz 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 here, your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm standing in the way
I'm just standing in the way
BUFFY
Did you just say something to me, called Buffy??

vocal Wow ... who could believe that Giles can sing?
This song is together with Rest In Peace one of my favourites from Once More With Feeling. Anthony has a great voice and the lyrics are just awesome. It's very easy to understand Giles' feelings and thoughts when you're listening to this song; and as the Buffy-geek I am I think that it explains a lot of things about the relationship between Giles and Buffy and how it has developed through the years. It's a very important scene in the story.

vocal Giles! This episode is beyond amazing and ... god Giles. He's so absolutely beyond any possible word that can be used to describe him. This was such a sad song, so tearjerker worthy.
