I did try that (twice!) but for some reason it wouldn't work for the first 2 videos, all I got was a blank screen with no video. Any ideas as to what I might have been doing wrong?

It worked for the last video, though. Thanks for the help!

Ahh! Lovely! What a beautiful song to start the day off. I really like the music of Flo and her Machine. Her voice is unusual isn't it. Funnily enough I was listening to a programme called Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 the other day which had Florence's uncle Craig Brown, the satirist, as its guest. He was saying that although his daughter is also a singer he never gets nervous when she performs but does when Florence performs, as she wears these really high heels and then climbs ladders and things!

Thank you for posting this. As I said, lovely!

While I like the original version of this song, I really love this version as performed by John Barrowman, who has such a beautiful voice.

This one is for John Watson...hope you like it...

The last time I went on Guide Camp we were singing this song and I didn't realise how relevant it is!

He fell from fifty thousand feet without a parachute
He fell from fifty thousand feet without a parachute
He fell from fifty thousand feet without a parachute
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
He landed on the pavement like a lump of strawberry jam
He landed on the pavement like a lump of strawberry jam
He landed on the pavement like a lump of strawberry jam
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
They put him in a match box and they sent him home to mum
They put him in a match box and they sent him home to mum
They put him in a match box and they sent him home to mum
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
She put on the mantel piece for everyone to see
She put on the mantel piece for everyone to see
She put on the mantel piece for everyone to see
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
She put him on the table when the Vicar came to tea
She put him on the table when the Vicar came to tea
She put him on the table when the Vicar came to tea
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
The Vicar spread him on some toast and said what lovely jam
The Vicar spread him on some toast and said what lovely jam
The Vicar spread him on some toast and said what lovely jam
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more!

Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, it's not funny at all...

Superman by Five for Fighting (re: series 2 finale)

I can't stand to fall.
I'm not that naive
I won't wait to talk.
I hope you'll remember me.

I'm more than a fraud, I'm more than a freak
I'm more than a headline on this news-less week
And it's not easy to be me.

I could keep going, but I think you get what I'm trying to say Anyway, I think the song fits but would need to be adjusted for lyrics.

**Posted by Davina** September 11, 2012 11:50 am

Fits very well indeedy!

**Posted by ImaSherlockGirl** September 11, 2012 5:33 pm

A perfect fit, saturnR!

For Molly :

Nirvana - Molly's Lips
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwWqKJKTGK0

She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me
She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as I stayed clean
Kiss kiss
Molly's lips
Kiss kiss
Molly's lips
Kiss kiss
Molly's lips
Kiss kiss

Let's try another one. This is an old song by America called I Need You. I particularly like the line about 'every story told about me'. Really fits Sherlock and John.

For Mrs. Hudson :

Sherlock's "unique perspective on life & the world"

phase 1: Sherlock discovers that he has a unique perspective

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsxhayAqAeE

phase 2: Sherlock tries to justify why he has a unique perspective & what he's gonna do about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IF4qlOLuMo

phase 3: This is the result of Sherlock's unique perspective
