Wow, never thought about E.T. being Johnlock, nice.

Today on my drive home I put my music player on shuffle and heard some old stuff from Leona Lewis.
Wow, do a lot of her songs fit to the Series.
Such as Alive, Angel or Brave (which I think would be from Sherlocks perspective)
Had a cry while driving, almost had to pull over. I guess I have to go to the "obsessed" thread now

Depending on how you view it, this can be seen as being on the romantic side...either way, I recently watched a Sherlock and John video to this song and now I can't get it out of my head

Everything by Lifehouse

Find me here,
And speak to me.
I want to feel you,
I need to hear you.
You are the light,
That's leading me,
To the place,
Where I find peace again.

You are the strength,
That keeps me walking.
You are the hope,
That keeps me trusting.
You are the light,
To my soul.
You are my purpose,
You're everything.

How can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

You calm the storms,
And you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands,
You won't let me fall.
You still my heart,
And you take my breath away.
Would you take me in,
Take me deeper now.

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

Cause you're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better, any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this...

All this time - One Republic
It is about time Sherlock comes back.

Six on the second hand till new year's resolutions
There's just no question what this man should do
Take all the time lost, all the days that I cost
Take what I took and give it back to you

All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you

I don't know what day it is, I had to check the paper
I don't know the city but it isn't home
You say I'm lucky to love something that loves me
But I don't as I could be wherever I roam

All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
Got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you, yeah

Oh, running back to you
Oh, running back to you
Yeah

Oh, I would travel so far
I would travel so far
To get back where you are

All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
Got all this love, can't waste it on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you
Straight in a straight line running back to you
Straight in a straight line running back to you
Straight in a straight line running back to you

^ Hmmm...very appropriate! I've never heard that song before *looks it up on YouTube* , ooooooh! I like it!

Maggi13 · July 31, 2013 9:44 pm

Glad you do

Cumbercookie · August 6, 2013 12:56 pm

I was listening to a song the other day, and found out it was used in a fanvid for the saddest fanfic ever (I bet you all know what I mean) The song is called A Thousand years by Christina Perry.

Mmm yes, I know the song...Do you have a link to the video?

SilverMoonDragonB · August 25, 2013 2:28 pm

I just watched a Sherlock/John video the song "You'll Be In My Heart" (Full Version) and was surprised at how well it seemed to suit them, there are a few lines that don't really, but the majority of the full version of the song fits well for the two of them I think , could be viewed as somewhat...Johnlockish, but not necessarily.

"You'll Be In My Heart"

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know (what do they know)?
We need each other
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
[another version says: "Believe me, you'll be in my heart"]
I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there), always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always.

If you go on Youtube and type in 'John and Sherlock A Thousand Years' quite a few renditions come up. Take your pick. But I would love to know which particular one Cumbercookie is referring to....I do like that song for them very, very much...

Azelma · August 27, 2013 2:36 am

Everyone is posting these beautiful songs, and I'm just imagining the Despicable Me theme song playing in the background while Moriarty strolls through town.

Just watched it for the first time. Will blame my mood swings for the tears in my eyes. Sniff!

Lovelocked · October 8, 2013 11:18 pm

A song that's been making me think of Sherlock every time I hear it lately... it's actually EDM, but the vocals really make me picture him. And it could be from several points of view... John's, Molly's, mine...

Take Me - Tiesto

Waiting for the light to change from red
Thinking over all the things you said to me, you said to me
All your dreams are dying in the sun
Pretty soon there’ll be nowhere left to run away, to run away

Packed your bags to leave by the morning
Destination far off and foreign
It’s never or now

Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you
Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you
Cause I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you

Counting up the reasons I should stay
Not enough to wait another day to go, it’s time to go
Memories of a life I leave behind
Take a souvenir to remind me of, the ones I love

Feel my heart it beats like a stopwatch
Running out of time with each tick tock
It’s never or now

Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you
Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you
Cause I don’t wanna be alone tonight
No I don’t wanna be alone tonight
Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you

Let’s go far away
Let’s go far away
Away from here
Somewhere there’s no cars
We can see the stars
And the skies are clear

Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you
Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you
Cause I don’t wanna be alone tonight
No I don’t wanna be alone tonight
Baby won’t you take me
Baby won’t you take me with you, with you.

Ormond Sacker · October 10, 2013 7:05 pm

Okay one song is seriously missing from this list, DAUGHTERY's "Used To". While we haven't seen what series 3 will look like yet I can't help think that this one will be appropriate.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around
You used to lean on me
The only other choice was falling down
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go
Nice and slow
To no place in particular

We used to have this figured out
We used to breath with out a doubt
When nights was clear
You were the first star that I see
We used to have this under control
We never thought
We used to know
At least there's you
And at least there's me
Can we get this back
Can we get this back
To how it used to be

I used to reach for you when
I got lost along the way
I used to listen
You always had the just right thing to say
I used to follow you
Never really cared where we would go
Fast or slow
To anywhere at all

We used to have this figured out
We used to breath with out a doubt
When nights was clear
You were the first star that I see
We used to have this under control
We never thought
We used to know
At least there's you
And at least there's me
Can we get this back
Can we get this back
To how it used to be

I look around me
I want you to be there
Cause I miss the things that we shared
Look around you
There's empty and your sad
Cause you miss the love that we had

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around
The only one around

We used to have this figured out
We used to breath with out a doubt
When nights was clear
You were the first star that I see
We used to have this under control
We never thought
We used to know
At least there's you
And at least there's me
Can we get this back
Can we get this back
To how it used to be
To how it used to be
To how it used to be
To how it used to be
To how it used to be

While this sounds like a lovesong it's no at least not a traditional one. If you take a look at the official vid, it's a bromance song about the friendship between two men that's been messed up.

Another one I would like to offer to the johnlock crowd, Pink's "True Love". Don't have the lyrics there, but I do have a fan vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCge2DlCwag

This song came on shuffle after a Sherlock marathon on Netflix, and I thought it appropriate. It can be a song about potenital lovers not being able to tell each other how they fell, or friends not being able to tell each other how much they actually mean to one another. It's "We Only Say Goodbye" by the progressive metal band Fates Warning:

Today was the end of a dream
as I watched your shadow disappear
another moment for the memory
as we lose another year

Thought I heard You call my name
but you only said goodbye

Always somewhere we only say goodbye
going nowhere
we only say goodbye
there's never time to say
all the things we need to say
when it's too late
we can only say goodbye

Tonight I felt your presence again
as we shared the sorrow we've always known
but I heard the distance in your voice
and I knew I was alone

Tried to tell you my deepest thoughts
but I only said goodbye

Always somewhere we only say goodbye
going nowhere
we only say goodbye
there's never time to say
all the things we need to say
when it's too late
we can only say goodbye

Across the miles
both of us reaching we try
but it's so hard to touch
when we only say goodbye

always somewhere
we only say goodbye
going nowhere
we only say goodbye
there's never time to say
all the things we need to say
when it's too late
we can only say goodbye

always somewhere
we only say goodbye
going nowhere
we only say goodbye
there's never time to say
all the things we need to say...

SilverMoonDragonB · October 16, 2013 8:41 pm

This is a song that has been put to several Sherlock fan videos (one of my favourite songs), and I can see why...

"Demons" ~ Imagine Dragons

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Heard this song tonight and immediately thought of John and how he appears to moving on with his life and leaving Sherlock behind. Picturing him standing at the grave:

Hm, yes, I agree....

Another song that kind of reminds me of Sherlock, and John in a way, is this by VNV Nation;

"Illusion"

I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand. Please, don't cry now

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate;
For all the hurt that you feel,
The world is just illusion, trying to change you

Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim
Divine purpose blesses them
That's not what I believe, and it doesn't matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, but I'm still not sure
But what I do know, is to us the world is different
As we are to the world but I guess you would know that

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, oh please don't leave here
I don't want you to change;
For all the hurt that you feel,
This world is just illusion, always trying to change you

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, oh please don't leave here
I don't want you to change;
For all the hurt that you feel,
This world is just illusion, always trying to change you
