I guess I'm a little emotional today...
The radio was playing, and a song that I only knew by it's sax 'chorus', Baker Street, came on. I was like, "Oh! Now I can learn what the lyrics are! I'll listen closely, and try to relate it to Sherlock Holmes." ...this lead to tears.
These are the lyrics:
Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin'
You're tryin' now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're cryin'
You're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a lad in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin
Cus he's rollin'
He's the rollin' stone
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
You're goin'
You're goin' home.
All the way up to 'You're cryin' now' felt like John's perspective during Reichenbach. The second half is Sherlock's perspective, when he comes home. Only, this version of the story is different than previous ones. John doesn't want to forgive Sherlock.
...brb, crying.
