QUESTION: Hi there,
I am going banana's trying to find out what the background music is when Willow finds Oz with Veruca in the cage and they break up. It also plays in the background when Willow goes to Oz's old dorm room for comfort although he already left. It plays throughout too.
Specifically, if you watch when Willow and Oz break up, that's the song I want!!!! Help me??

ANSWER: Hey Tina,
The song is called The Willow and Oz Theme, the reason for this is, it was written just for that. Christoph Beck composed, arranged, and scored the entire series during the run. He was great for coming up with musical scores that captured the emotion in the scene. He won and Emmy for his work on the score "Massacre" (From Season 2 episode "Becoming")He did all the music work for the "Hush" episode, which means for the almost 40 minutes of no dialog, all you hear is his score. He did the musical score for "Close Your Eyes" which was the score for the end of season two the scene where Buffy stabs Angel, which can be found on the first soundtrack for the show, a collection of his songs can also be found at the end of the "Once More With Feelings" soundtrack.
You can find out more information on him and his work here http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0065100/

He has done a lot of work, but his work on Buffy and the first season of Angel, have been some of his best. Last year they released a soundtrack with just a few of the best from his time with Buffy, unfortunately The Willow and Oz Theme is not on it, but I think you will like some, (if not all of) the songs on this cd, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Christophe-Beck/dp/B001DMW2AK/ref=sr_

Now that was the bad news, and hopefully here is the good, for the episode "Something Blue" Christophe Beck took a sample of the song and worked it into that episode. And if you have an iTunes account, then you can purchase an exclusive release of the song under the title, "Willow and Oz" from "Something Blue" it sounds almost the same as the original run of the song from the "Wild At Heart" episode.

Now for some really good news, if you follow this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNBoIX9W2T4 you can listen to the entire Willow and Oz Theme.

Hope that his is what you were looking for.

QUESTION: Hi Again,
I have bad news! Because I am in Australia and have an Australian Account, I can't buy if off iTunes!
Is there anywhere else I can get it, that you know of?
So close.......

Answer
Ok, sorry for the amount of time that it has taken me to get back to you but I have been trying to find someway for you to get it in Australia, and I has been a little difficult, but I think that this will work for you. There is a program called dvd video soft studio. I don't know that it will work with and Australian connection but it should be global. There you can download a program called YouTube to MP3. After you have the program, open it and paste this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNBoIX9W2T4 in to the url box and it will download the song to your desktop. I hope that this works for you.

In the mean time you can just go to this site, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNBoIX9W2T4 and listen to it for as much as you want to until you can get it downloaded.

I know this isn't really what you asked for but I hope that it works or at least helps in some small way.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.
