The mother of a friend of mine is a teacher and asked me to do a lesson with her kids on singing. I want to show them a bit off the different things I do, some goofy exercises and learn a song with them.

I’d love to hear your ideas what else I could do with them, keeping in mind that those are 10-year olds and also visually impaired.

Any thoughts on what you’d like to do or what you’d like to know about singing?

Yes, yes, I know. Now I’m not even writing Shrock myself. ;)

Originally by A Bromance in Bohemia, it can be found here: For You by A Bromance In Bohemia

I asked her a while back if she would send me the chords and lovely person that she is, she did! 
Kayla, I hope you like it, even though I messed up the piano part a bit.

LYRICS: 
A corpse, a coffee, human thumbs, a cup of tea 
Company or the gift of being alone

I’ll part my hair, gloss my lips, you won’t notice, you won’t get it 
Even Jim from IT was a scrappy plan at best

But you look so sad when he’s not looking 
And I know cause I don’t count 
I’m Molly Hooper I never count

And you look so sad when you think he’s not looking 
And I notice cause I don’t count 
I’m Molly Hooper and I don’t count

CHORUS 
All I am, foolish me, you won’t believe the things I could be 
For you 
Though I know you don’t need me, I’m not him, I can’t be 
Not for you

Three year’s time, a change of clothes, a couch to crash on, so it goes 
My hands my eyes my heart my ears my nose

Arms open wide, without your clever explanations I’ll do it without your damned manipulations 
Or any fake emotional sensations

Cause you look so sad when he’s not looking 
And I know, because you count 
I’m Molly Hooper—to me you count

Yeah you look so sad when you think he’s not looking 
And I see it cause I don’t count 
I’m Molly Hooper—don’t say I count

CHORUS 
With all I am, foolish me, you’ve never seen me the best I can be 
But it’s true 
Though I know you don’t need me, I’m not him, I can never be 
Not for you

Take it all, take it all: my regard and care 
It might have started as a crush but now it’s just not fair 
I’m a big girl I can handle myself 
But Sherlock Holmes you need my help 
Won’t you take it all take it all the things you need 
Don’t look at me look at me like I’m crazy

I know what it means to be sad when he’s not looking 
I know cause I don’t count 
I’m Molly Hooper, I never count

You’re planning something Sherlock when he’s not looking 
And I know cause I could count 
I’m Molly Hooper—I could count 
For you

I went through some old sheet music and found this. It reminds me an awful lot of Martin. No wonder, it’s called “Sad” and contains the word aeroplane. 
I messed up the chords during the impro, please ignore that.

Triste (Antonio Carlos Jobim)

Sad is to live in solitude 
far from your tranquil altitude 
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream 
that never can be, will never be 
dreamer awake, wake up and see.

Your beauty is an aeroplane 
so high my heart can’t bear the strain 
A heart that stops when you pass by 
only to cause me pain 
sad is to live in solitude

"I'm just wondering (you know Random-Queen...) by listening to Fandom that waited. How long does it take you to record one song? Do you mess up often?"

Hmmmm, depends on the song. I think I did three recordings of The Fandom that Waited. If it’s something I’ve written it usually works out pretty quickly.

On I’ll Make A Companion Out Of You however… I don’t know I often I messed that one up. I’ve spent several afternoons on it and I’m still not happy with the result. That’s because I had trouble learning the lyrics, fitting the syllables to the notes, hit the right notes - which wasn’t so easy because the song was originally written for a man - and playing the piano too. So yeah, I’ve been working on that for months on and off.

The Princess and the Frog - Almost There (cover)

Watched the movie last night and felt like making a quick recording.

One day I’ll be able to afford a good microphone.

The Fandom That Waited

After exactly six months on tumblr and in the glorious Sherlock fandom I thought it was time to give something back for all the shenanigans I was allowed to be part of.

As requested by a friendly Anon, Reflection from Disney’s Mulan, but in German. Because I felt like it and unlike the English lyrics I know the German ones by heart.

NEW PROPERLY CUT VERSION! (I’m sorry for being such an idiot…)

Post with the original lyrics

I’ll make a Companion out of you

Ten

Let’s get down to business

To see time and space

Welcome to the TARDIS

You should see your face

You’re just a gawping human girl

But you can bet before we’re through

Somehow I’ll make a Companion out of you

The Universe is quite big

But it’s brilliant too

Really, just don’t do that

My clever talking will see us through

You’re an awkward loud stumbling Earthling

And you haven’t got a clue

Somehow I’ll make a Companion out of you

Rose

I’m never gonna leave his side 

Martha

Say goodbye to med school for me

Donna

Why has it got twelve arms but not one hand?

Rose

It won’t ever end, this ride 

Martha

I swear he only looks right through me

Donna 

Oi, what do you mean by that, Space Man?

Women

Companions

Ten

You must be swift as these converse sneakers

Women

Companions

Ten

And try to keep up with my IQ

Women

Companions

Ten

With all these settings on my sonic screwdriver

There is so much more to see, to say, to do!

Time and space before us

There’s so much to see

You’d better love the running

Now then, allons-y

There are times when everybody lives

But not very often, it’s true

Times like these make a Companion out of you

Women

Companions

Ten

You must be swift as these converse sneakers

Women

Companions

Ten 

And try to keep up with my IQ

Women

Companions

Ten

With all these settings on my sonic screwdriver

There is so much more to see, to say, to do!

All

Companions

All (a capella)

We are as swift as his converse sneakers

Companions

And try to keep up with his IQ

Companions

Learn some of the settings on the sonic screwdriver

All

There’s always so much more to say, to do!
