Breathe in. Know that somewhere in the world a wave is rolling onto the shoreline In that exact moment. You are it. Breathe in. Know that you are connected To every blade of grass in a stream Every wind that blows Every tear that falls. Breathe in. Know that you are everything you need Everything you want Everything you could possibly ask for. Breathe in. Force air into your bloodstream Make your cells come /alive. Breathe in. Look at the world Breathe in. Feel the moon slip across the sky. Breathe in. Feel the love you have Inside yourself Yourself Breathe in. Stop. Feel yourself Feel every comet that squeaks across the sky Feel the safety you have been granted Feel the /adventure you have in front of you. Breathe in. Let /love in Let the world in Breathe in. Know that you are Irish sunlight and smoky glass and you are the waves lapping on a Nigerian shoreline Breathe in. You are adequate you are /magnificent you are the world watching itself Breathe in. Let your eyes see the death of the sun And watch it rise again. If it does so You will too. You destroy You create A tiny tiny God. Breathe in. You are every pain that has ever been felt Every timeline Every burning muscle of everything that has ever existed You are one. You are one. Breathe in. You curl And unfurl Breathe in. You are cold hands And clammy feet And nervous twitches at a first date. Breathe in. You are complete in yourself You are. Breathe in. You are A rush. Breathe in. You are kindness and softness and fear. You are. Breathe in. You will.
Breathe in. You are wings Across the sky And hooves striking the ground. Breathe in. You are love. Breathe in. You feel. Breathe in. Life is you. Breathe in. And you are life. Breathe in. You are age and youth and forest blanketing across the world Breathe in. You are a cat's purr And a grandmother's soothed heart. Breathe in. You are the plush feel of a carpet sinking in between your toes And a cold cold night. Breathe in. You are the warm ache of home. Breathe in. You are every injustice ever suffered. Breathe in. You are every stranger's kindness. Breathe in. You are Stardust, Truly Just see. Breathe in. You are inspiration In it is purest rawest form Breathe in. You are a gift a blink an eternity. Breathe in. You are a touch A sound a smile you are what you are to others you are by yourself you are you are you are Breathe in.
Breathe in. Death is not the end. Breathe in. You are a child's cry A stretching of lips A jubilant woop An excited swallow. And the egg in its nest. Breathe in. You are where you are. You are here. Breathe in. Step forward move back Dance- they call it. Breathe in. You are clasped fingers and a decision to make. Breathe in. You are faltering chit chat And hallway silence Breathe in. You are A Change Breathe in. You are So much So Breathe In. You are a photograph in a moving picture. Breathe in. You are a small hill and a memory. Breathe in. You are long fights and knicked pencils. Breathe in. You are a pen cap on the ground. Breathe in. You are drifting drifting clouds move slowly Breathe in. You are hurricanes and monsters under your bed and stockinged feet Breathe in. You are living. My dear. My dearest. It is nice to see you again. Breathe in.
Breathe in. You are everything. You are everything Breathe out. Close your eyes. And breathe again.

In the audiofile above you hear two snippets of the Sherlock Soundtrack (“War” and “Pink”). It is John’s theme. The first time it plays when John wakes up from a nightmare (“War”).
The characteristic melody is played by piano in G minor and has a distinctive motive of four notes (see mid0nz’s meta for more insights). I added the second part (“Pink”) to show you the “official" ending of John’s theme where the chords rise along the scale of D minor. (This figure is often used in other Sherlock scores for very dramatic scenes, sometimes resolving in death. Perhaps I will revisit this in a future post). Choosing a minor key for John’s theme strengthens the viewer’s impression of John’s depressed and sad mental state.
When I decided to give the music in Sherlock more attention, I was so overwhelmed that I chose to start with the obvious. And that’s John’s theme. For me it plays a unique role in the musical world of Sherlock because it’s the only theme that’s continously played by piano. And in my experience piano themes are often really unique in the whole range of a (movie) soundtrack with predominantly fully orchestrated pieces. They stick up as played by a single instrument against pieces played by 30 and more instruments in an orchestra. And that’s why piano themes are often used to intensify the intimacy of a scene. (I first experienced this consciously in Titanic: The piano version of Rose’s theme when Jack draws her).
So my interpretation of John’s theme is this: The piano played tune in a minor key shows the viewer John’s deep emotions like sadness, vulnerability and perhaps the hurt that love can cause. In this way the viewer is - in contrast to Sherlock - directly linked via the music to John’s emotional state. The music helps us to be sure how John feels in many scenes. And that’s why I’ll definitly write more about the magnifiscent use of John’s theme in every single season. <3
But for now I will finish this post by showing you how John’s theme is linked to the other two outstanding themes. The Main theme (title theme) and what’s called by the composers the Hero’s Theme. (My piano version of the key elements:)
John’s theme (beginning):
Main (=title) theme (bar 9 to the end):
Hero’s theme (first time: bar 11ff., several times again and at the end):
What we can see and hear: John’s theme and the Hero’s theme are combined in the main theme. If you want to, you can read this as the musical conjunction of John and Sherlock. (As this is the title theme of the show I’ll leave the further Johnlock interpretation to you…). And if you understand the main theme as Sherlock’s theme, then you could say that it integrates his heart (John) and his mind (crime solving=”the game”).
[Last note: the notations above are based on the piano arrangement of Anthony Weeden. I kept the notation in A minor for visual simplicity (=lack of accidentals), but’d like to clarify that John’s theme is played in G minor, the main theme in A minor and the hero’s theme in C minor when they are first introduced – please correct me if I’m wrong).

A Study in Pink: a Humorous Summary
What might we deduce about his heart?
"Look at us both."
Look at John. Look at his eyebrows, look at his eyes, LOOK at his MOUTH HANGING OPEN. He is just is AWE of Sherlock. This is it. It’s the apex of his Visible Pining.
Desperately unspoken
"I love you too fucking much and it makes me die inside", that’s what they would say
