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- "Kimwildesongtitle"

Hello readers! Apologies for the week's hiatus, it's been pretty busy for me & on top of that had a lot going on, but tonight I return for another edition of 'Tune Tuesday', sharing with you a song that's been floating through my mind the past few days:

'Kimwildesongtitle' by The Hitchers

Been listening to them a bit these past few days, & for some reason this song's been stuck in my head a lot. Weird, as it isn't one of my usual ones that gets stuck there, nor does it come into the bracket of their songs that I use to relieve a bad mood. But a good song nonetheless.

There we are readers, my Tune for the week, what's yours? Why not leave a comment below?

Thanks for reading! :)

Tune Tuesday- "Along With You"

Hello all! Time for another Tune Tuesday & today's tune is a song I mentioned in my last Music Monday post. It's my favourite track on Dope Stars Inc.'s 'TeraPunk' album, which I was listening to earlier today.

'Along With You' by Dope Stars Inc.

I've thought this song is brilliant from the moment I heard it- the vocals, the tune, the lyrics- everything! I love the digital, cyberpunk feel it has, plus it reminds me of the 'laser-rhythm-a-con' instrument in The Sims 3: Into The Future.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Weekly Music Challenge Day #29- A Song That Would Play During The Apocalypse

Hello all & welcome to tonight's penultimate edition of the weekly song challenge! This is the first of my substituted challenges & I have tonight decided I'd share with you a song I think would be fitting for the end of the world, which is this:

'It's The End Of The World As We Know It' by R.E.M

Because if this didn't play as the world was ending, I'd feel disappointed.

There we are readers, now what tune would you like to hear at the end of the world? Feel free to comment below!

Weekly Music Challenge Day #28- My Favourite Song This Time Last Year

Hello my good readers & welcome back to another Music Monday. I'm reaching the end of my challenge now & this is the last item from the original list- the next two parts of this challenge are substitutes for songs I couldn't find/didn't want to do.

Tonight's challenge is to find my favourite song from this time last year. Now this is a tough one as I can't really recall what song was prominent in my mind at this point last year! But thanks to Instagram, I was able to go back & found a doodle based on this song, drawn around a year ago:

'Last Man On The Moon' by SR-71

Whether or not it was my favourite song, I can't recall, but it must have had some level of favouritism if I did a doodle on it, which is this:

So readers, do you remember your favourite song from this time last year? If you do, then leave a comment below!

Thanks for reading!

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.

Thank you for reading!

Weekly Music Challenge Day #27- A Song From My Childhood

Hello readers! Another Monday, another post to the music challenge, with today's theme being a song from my childhood. Seeing as I was a "90s kid", as they put it, I think the following song is appropriate:

'Reach' by S Club 7

I'll admit, when I was a kid I liked S Club, & this was a song that I had on CD, plus it played at every school disco I went to.

So there we have it for tonight's post. What are your childhood songs my readers? Leave a comment below:

Tune Tuesday- "Fix Me"

Hello readers! Tune Tuesday returns! Again, it's because I didn't have time to do my usual Music Monday post, so I've decided that this shall be the post I go to in the event that I do miss Music Monday.

Here's this week's tune:

'Fix Me' by Jack Strify

The reason why I've chosen this song is because on Sunday, the digital copy of Strify's 'Illusion' album was released to those who had pledged. I'm currently giving the album a second listen & I'm loving it! The song above doesn't appear on that album & I'm not allowed to post any of that music online as the album hasn't been properly released, however, this song is equally as great as those on the album. Plus, the imagery given in the first few lines of this song is similar to that given in some of the songs on the new album (well, it is for me).

Anyway, this song is great & I thought I'd share it with you. Plus, Jack Strify is a great artist- some of you may recall he was the frontman of Cinema Bizarre & their music is also excellent!

Thanks for reading folks! Hope you enjoy this week's tune & I'll be back with the challenge on Monday! :)

Tune Tuesday- "Killed It With My Bare Hands"

Hello readers! I bet you're thinking- "tune Tuesday, what is this?" Well, seeing as I didn't to my usual Music Monday post yesterday as I was very busy catching up with coursework, I decided that I would compensate today & give an alternative. Rather than continue the challenge today (but it shall resume next week!) I thought that today I'd share a song with you all, which is:

'Killed It With My Bare Hands' by The Hitchers

Now you all get the rather odd title. The reason I share this song is because it's been in my head the past few days. I was listening to the album 'It's All Fun & Games Til Someone Loses An Eye' by them the other day & this song hasn't left my head. Also, they're a really good band, Irish punk, I definitely recommend checking them out!

And that's all for today's post. May or may not be back Friday, but shall definitely return Monday!

Thanks for reading!
