earlgreytea68The lovely L put together a soundtrack for "John Watson's 12 Things Happy People Do." It is so awesome that I truly believe L should have a job choosing songs to play during poignant scenes on all those trashy CW shows I watch. It is so awesome that I even went and found an ADORABLE MARTIN FREEMAN FACE icon!
1. Express Gratitude
"Let Go" by Frou Frou
2. Cultivate Optimism
"Smile Like You Mean It" by the Killers
3. Avoid Over-Thinking and Social Comparison
"Run" by Snow Patrol (because it's not a real fandom without this song, let's face it)
4. Practice Acts of Kindness
"Waiting" by the Devlins
5. Nurture Social Relationships
"Everyone Says Hi" by David Bowie
6. Develop Strategies for Coping
"Your Song" by Elton John (sung by Ewan McGregor) (This is, incidentally, also the theme song for John's blog. IT EVEN HAS A LINE ABOUT WHETHER THE BELOVED'S EYES ARE BLUE OR GREEN.)
7. Learn to Forgive
"The Scientist" by Coldplay
8. Increase Flow Experiences
"Starlight" by Muse
9. Savor Life's Joys
"Out on a Limb" by Joseph Arthur
10. Commit to Your Goals
"Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
11. Practice Spirituality
"Hold On" by Sarah McLachlan
12. Take Care of Your Body
"Fragments" by VNV Nation
Bonus track for the, ahem, "Empty House" story that's eventually coming...
"You Found Me" by the Fray
***
I love this soundtrack dearly. I feel like it does really capture the mood of the fic, and it's been delightful writing music for all the fics to come. So, thanks so much, L, for creating it!
