Sherlock
New obsession. Well, old obsession from childhood re-awakened once again. Damned you BBC.
I loved Sherlock as a kid, and the BBC Sherlock is wonderful. I really liked it back when it first came out, but I just finished re-watching it with my sister, all 6 eps and holy hell ... so fucking good. Not to mention, "The Reichenbach Fall" just broke my heart and had both me and my sister sobbing. It utterly killed us.
I am now devouring fics and doing a mini-fanmix in my head. lol
Why? Because ALL SONGS MAKE ME THINK OF SHERLOCK/WATSON! 0_o
And all I can think is "FINALLY! The sub-text is finally text! Huzzah!" haha
Anyhoot. Yeah. That's me lately. What's new with you guys?
(And yes, work still eats my life. I haven't been to derby in nearly 3 months thanks to work and a killer flu. *sobs*)
In lieu of actual content, here is my mini-fanmix. I wish I had time/talent to include coverart, but I possess neither at the moment, so all you get is the songlist with links to videos on SoundCloud or YouTube ...
Sherlock/John Fanmix
1. HOUSE - Kindess
It's enough to say
you're getting older everyday
you ought to love someone
You break down and you pray
hoping something comes your way
you ought to love someone
love someone
I can't give you all that you need
but I'll give you all I can feel
This is how Sherlock "loves" John. He will most likely never understand romantic love (and I totally relate to that), but he does the best he can for him ... why? Because he cares, and he does love John in his own way. And he would do anything for him. Even "die" for him.
2. CROSSFIRE - Brandon Flowers
You're keeping secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not do no harm
I promise you, babe, I won't do you no harm
And we're caught within the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin' for shelter
Lay your body down
This is how John loves Sherlock. So many secrets, caught in the crossfire. But isn't that what he loves best?
3. HEAVEN - The Walkmen
Remember remember
All we fight for
Don't leave me, oh you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
This is John ... immediately after "The Reichenbach Fall".
4. HEAR YOU ME - Jimmy Eat World
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
This is the aftermath of "The Reichenbach Fall". This is John ... this is his heart breaking and never quite mending because he never got to say what needed to be said.
5.THE SCIENTIST - Coldplay
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
I feel like this whole song could and should be quoted. Right from the beginning to the end, it is Sherlock and John. But really it boils down to this:
"I don't have friends. I only have one."
For all his inability to connect to people ... he really did with John. This song just encompasses Sherlock and John's entire relationship. During and after Sherlock's "demise".
K, I really should do my homework now (taking an online database course for work) instead of faffing about Sherlock. haha
