Soundtracking Across the Universe

I've had death lurg for the past week and a migraine for the past five days and I am shamelessly using this as an excuse for not updating in ages. I'm ill *cough cough* so you can't bitch at me. Not that anyone actually reads this anyway but you know what I mean. Anyway, today I'm feeling a little less like a sack of crap so I thought I'd say hi and give you some awesome music to listen to. I'm only going with soundtracks that I actually own because going through my entire musical collection would take forever.

First up today is Waltz for John and Mary from Sherlock's season three episode The Sign of Three. It's a beautiful piece and it's one of the best moments in Sherlock so listen and enjoy.

Next up is Cloud Atlas Sextet for Orchestra from, well, Cloud Atlas. It's amazing and never fails to give me Frobisher feels. 

I'm totally going the Les Mis route now because as much as I was ambivalent to it the first time I saw it, I now love it. Here are some of my favourites:
I Dreamed A Dream - Anne Hathaway is awesome 
On My Own
One Day More 
Do You Hear The People Sing?
Bring Him Home
Epilogue

I can't talk about musicals without mentioning Once More, With Feeling - one of my favourite Buffy episodes. 
I'll Never Tell 
Rest In Peace 
Standing/Under Your Spell 
What You Feel
Walk Through The Fire 
Something To Sing About  
Where Do We Go From Here? 

I cannot forget Pitch Perfect which was hilarious and had awesome music - a perfect combination in my opinion.
Cups
Riff Off - Go from about 40 seconds in.
Treblemakers Finals
Bellas Finals

Next up is RENT, which will take a while because the whole film is perfect
Seasons of Love
Tango Maureen
I'll Cover You
La Vie Boheme A & B
Take Me Or Leave Me
I'll Cover You (Reprise)

After that reprise, I need a perk up so I'm not ending this with tears so here's
Pacific Rim Theme

Hope you've enjoyed at least some of these and even if no-one actually looks at this, I've enjoyed putting it together.

Much love, QoS
