I'm Your Lionheart [a genderswapped Sherlock/John mix]
Full album art, tracklistings, and download links under the cut.
So about a week ago I decided to mix Sherlock and John throughout the first two series of BBC Sherlock. Except, you know, with ladies. Sometimes I'm simply filled with the overwhelming urge to genderswap things.
A big inspiration for this mix was my current obsession with the band Of Monsters and Men. My even bigger inspiration for this mix was wanting to cheer my darling friend mad_teagirl up. (I'm sorry I accidentally Reichenbach-ed your cheer-up mix, mad_teagirl. It's just such good fanmix fodder! At least I'm a misery tourist who loves a happy ending? Because I totally threw The Empty House on it as well.)
Right, enough rambling. On with the show!

I'm Your Lionheart
a genderswapped Sherlock/John fanmix
1. Joanna Newsom - Peach, Plum, Pear [Live]
I have read the right books
To interpret your looks
You were knocking me down
With the palm of your eye
This is unlike the story
It was written to be
You were riding its back
When it used to ride me
We were galloping manic
To the mouth of the source
We were swallowing panic
In the face of its force
2. Anni Rossi - Living In Danger
You'll be living in danger
In the eyes of a stranger
3. Lizzie Radio - The Loneliness and the Scream
In the loneliness, oh the loneliness
And the scream to prove to everyone that I exist
4. Sarah Jarosz - The Book Of Right On [Live]
Do you want to sit at my table?
My fighting fame is fabled
And fortune finds me fit and able
5. Innocence Mission - Moon River
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
6. Vitamin String Quartet - Midnight City
[Instrumental]
7. Ingrid Michaelson - Die Alone
I never thought I could love anyone but myself
Now I know I can't love anyone but you
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone
Maybe I won't die alone
What have I become?
Something soft and really quite dumb
8. Kate Nash - My Best Friend Is You
You are the most clever, most stupid, most whatever
You are the most honorable soldier, superhero, pretty as a cat
You have integrity that I cannot conceive
You are opinionated, you are my belief
9. Of Monsters and Men - Love Love Love
Oh cause you love, love, love
When you know I can’t love
10. Ane Brun - Armour
Welcome, my dear friend
I notice you are wearing your armour again
Is it the same as our last fight?
Is it residue from last night?
11. Anni Rossi - Glaciers
I like freezer boxes
I like freezer units
They preserve my home
I think I could be okay with
Being flattened and living under glaciers
So if I'm running errands
And you are on an island
I would like to say goodbye in anticipation
In case it just comes rolling in
And we are lying under frozen landscapes
12. Ane Brun - Joga
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
13. Halou - Honeythief
Despite this cruel world
And all my best efforts
You surprise me with just how perfect you are
14. Chandler Evan - Solider On
Well this side of mortality is
Scaring me to death, to death
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
Soldier on, soldier on
Keep your heart close to the ground
15. Kiersten Holine - The World At Large
I know that starting over is not what life's about
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud
16. Emmy The Great - War
The dream that I have is always the same
A foot falls like an echo of a step I didn't take
And I see you coming in like you were never gone
Tell me, why did I wake?
17. Judee Sill - The Donor
I'll chase 'em to the bottom
'Til I've finally caught 'em
18. Sarah Slean - Last Year’s War
I put this battle in a box
With my military thoughts
And the days where I was almost at my end
Seems to me quite clear now
Now that you are here
How easily I could begin again
29. Heidi Happy - Home
I thought I couldn't write a song for you
I was afraid of being too confused
I was lost somewhere I was not supposed to be
But now I'm back
And it's nice to be home
20. Of Monsters and Men - King and Lionheart
And in the sea that's painted black
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand cause
You're my king and I'm your lionheart
