My Music Moment Of The Week

WARNING: CONTAINS MILD HINTS AT THE ENDING FOR ELEMENTARY SEASON 3

Hello readers! In tonight's Music Monday blog post, I'd like to share with you a brilliant music moment I had this weekend, a moment so great, in fact, that a part of me still can't believe my ears!

Let me start from the beginning- as you all (should) know, I am a fan of CBS Elementary & the music artist Keaton Henson, the latter I discovered thanks to another favourite show of mine, In The Flesh. One day, whilst browsing Keaton Henson related things on Pinterest, I came across the lyrics to the song 'Beekeeper', which I kind of felt drawn to due to as I wasn't in a great mood at the time. As well as this, the song reminded me of Sherlock Holmes in Elementary- the lyrics of the song speak of solitude, instability & tactlessness- personality traits that I think are very 'Sherlock' due to his nature & past of being a drug addict. Plus, the title of the song fits well as, in Elementary, he is a beekeeper, so I've always considered this a theme song for his character.

Moving forward to the Friday that's just gone. The Elementary Season 3 finale was up & I had to watch it or I'd spend the next week or so avoiding spoilers. It was a good episode, admittedly not as epic as previous season finales, but it was obvious that it was going to lead to a big setback for Sherlock's character. Cue the moment of Sherlock's downfall & guess which song starts playing? Beekeeper- & that, for me, just made the episode! I actually sat there, had to pause it because I was so delighted & inform my Mother of what was going on & how pleased I was. It played at such a poignant moment as well that is just fit so perfectly with the end of the season- it was just amazing! My own personal theme tune for Sherlock played right there on Elementary- a top moment!

Here's a link to the song for you all:

I hope you all enjoyed tonight's post- let me know in the comments if anything like this has ever happened to you!

Tune Tuesday- "The Best Today"

Good evening readers! As you can see, there is no Music Monday this week, as I was out last night having a lovely catch up with my friend Georgia, followed by settling down to watch 'House of Fools' with my Mum once I got in. Plus was busy with other bits & bobs during the day, which is why this week's music post is another edition of Tune Tuesday, where I share a song that's been going through my head the past few days. Here's this week's song:

'The Best Today' by Keaton Henson

I was listening to his 'Birthdays' album the other week & this song has just stuck with me. Tells the tale of a man (well, I assume it's a man as I figure the song's coming from Henson's own perspective) who notices a beautiful woman out of the train window. He starts wondering about her life before the train pulls off. A very nice song, with beautiful guitaring & lyrical imagery.

And there we have it. Music Monday should return next week as I continue my music challenge.
