one more mix
here's another mix for the mixtape exchange. I can't seem to stop myself once I start. but hey, this one is Sherlock themed!
yes, I'm recycling a few songs from the other mixes, but I really like them all. this one came out surprisingly emotional. I feel a bit drained now.
There's No Saving Anything: a Sherlock/John Mix
Prompted by sobata
note: the prompt was specifically for a post-Reichenbach mix. For those of you unfamiliar with that story arc, Sherlock has a final showdown with Moriarty, in which they both appear to be killed. Sherlock is of course still alive, but John doesn't know this at the time.
songs 1-7 are songs for John mourning and missing Sherlock. the second half is Sherlock facing his enemy and struggling to make his way back to John.
1. The Gentlest Gentleman- My Brightest Diamond
Maybe next time when I see your face again
I will tell you that I loved you
and if this is to be the end, well hey
thats it, thats it...
2. I Will Follow You Into the Dark- Death Cab For Cutie
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
3. Hear You Me- Jimmy Eat World
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.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
4. Now That You're Gone- Ryan Adams
Everything you ever touched is undisturbed and hangs out
Like crime scene evidence undisturbed in dust
I don't dare touch anything because it's evidence of us
And it means everything
Well sort of
5. The Last Snowfall- Vienna Teng
If this were the last snow curling
On your fingers, in my palm
If this were the last I've felt you breathing
How would I carry on?
6. Afraid Not Scared- Ryan Adams
And I'm really dying in here
I'm afraid. No, I'm scared.
I'm just scared. Just let me down.
I'm getting really cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
7. Humming One of Your Songs- Ane Brun
Every day I hear your song now
Every day it won't go away
So I am humming
I am humming one of your songs
8. When The War Came- The Decemberists
And the war came with a curse and a caterwaul
And the war came with all the poise of a cannonball
And they're digging out our eyes by coal and candlelight
When the war came, the war came hard.
9. Runaway- the National
there's no savin' anything
how we swallow the sun
but I won't be no runaway
'cause I won't run
no, I won't be no runaway
what makes you think I enjoy being led to the flood?
we've got another thing coming undone
and it's taking us over
10. This Is Why We Fight- The Decemberists
And when we die
We will die with our arms unbound
And this is why, this is why we fight
Come hell
11. 1876 The Brooklyn Theatre Fire- Wakey!Wakey!
But there's too much going on these days
There's too much going on
And I don't want to let you down, I don't want to let you down
Just when fire could take this town
12. Blank Page Empire- Further Seems Forever
Awake in this cold cell I, I just hope you're happy
Awake in this cold cell, I break my body against the wall
Awake in this cold cell, I am my only devil
Why can't I be you and put those hands away
I go through this everyday
13. Perth- Bon Iver
I'm tearing up across your face
Move dust through the light
To find your name
It's only faint
This is not a place
Not yet awake, I'm raised to make
Still alive for you, love
14. Timshel- Mumford & Sons
Cold is the water
It freezes your already cold mind
And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substance
But you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
15. Between the Bars- Elliot Smith
drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart
separate from the rest, where I like you the best
and keep the things you forgot
16. Homeward, These Shoes- Iron & Wine
Homeward these shoes worn to paper
Thin as the reason I left here so young
Homeward and what if I see her
There in the doorway I walked away from
