Sherlock Songs
Something else to keep us going during the hiatus. What about suitable songs/pieces of music for characters in Sherlock. We have a couple that are actually used in the series which I'll put here just to start us off...
Jim Moriarty- Sinner Man by Nina Simone
Jim Moriarty- The Thieving Magpie by Rossini

Re: Sherlock Songs
Molly Hooper- Count on me by Bruno Mars (such a cute song!) 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Re: Sherlock Songs
I love Bruno Mars. What a good choice Molly.
Just thinking...I guess we must add
Jim Moriarty - Staying Alive by The Bee Gees

Re: Sherlock Songs
This is a nice thing. Cause this is one of the things I think about during the day.
I guess my suggestions might be a bit too... Johnlock-y.
For some reason quite famous among Sherlockians is the song "Woke up new" by The Mountain Goats, reflecting John's situation after the fall. It's a very beautiful song.
Very apt is "SAIL" by Awolnation for Moriarty. The whole song has this kinda sick (in a good way!) feeling to it, it fits perfectly...
For some reason I also always connect "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen to John Watson. Except for the whole Philadelphia part, of course, that should be exchanged with "London". But it could be either post-Afghanistan John Watson or post-Reichenbach John Watson.

Re: Sherlock Songs
For John's most depressing moments I suggest
Death Cab for Cutie: I will follow you into the dark
The lyrics would seem a bit Johnlocky but I couldn't resist.

"To fake the death of one sibling may be regarded as a misfortune; to fake the death of both looks like carelessness." Oscar Wilde about Mycroft Holmes
"It is what it is says love." (Erich Fried)
“Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I’m also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.” (Benedict Cumberbatch)

Re: Sherlock Songs
Florence and the Machine- 'Falling'. Many of the lyrics of this song really fit TRF well.

Re: Sherlock Songs
Today's musical present is for Sherlock and Jim Moriarty. It is 'Spider's Web' by Katie Melua. ' The line between wrong and right is the width of a thread from a spider's web.'
And......because it is Benedict's birthday TODAY here is a specially offering from the talented, inspirational Mr. Steve Wonder.

Re: Sherlock Songs
Today's offering is for John. I think it sums up his relationship with Sherlock. An oldie but goody and wonderful clarity of voice from the lead singer.
The Platters-Only You

Re: Sherlock Songs
I've already posted this in another thread but I think it too apt to not put it on here too. This is for all those who are on the side of the angels, not just in the series but in real life too. With thoughts of Denver.

Re: Sherlock Songs
This is for Jim Moriarty because that's what he threatened to do to Sherlock. Also it is homage to Jon Lord, founder of Deep Purple, who died on Monday 16th July from pancreatic cancer. He was an utterly original and brilliant keyboard player. R.I.P.
Deep Purple- Burn

For Molly. Love the piano and sax in this live recording. By the late, great Little Richard.

Re: Sherlock Songs
This is what Molly or John should sing to Sherlock (sort of...)

But the thing is, we've taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that's left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact. (Miss Marple)
