I love when my fandom worlds collide... 🤓 Like Robert, Cillian Murphy also is a fan of Low, the band.
Didn't know that Mimi Parker passed away... RIP. Their music was lovely.
Bonus: my Robert people may know that he covered some of Low's songs with Patty Griffin and the more recent Band of Joy:

Thanks for tagging me @jadedloverart!
10 songs from my on-repeat playlist. (I don’t use Spotify, so I’m winging this. These are songs I know I listened to repeatedly while I wrote or read or just got stuck on a thought. There’s a LOT of Indigo Girls because they are the soundtrack of my life.)
Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major - J.S. Bach, performed by Yo Yo Ma (This is entirely @ekingston’s fault. See this fic chapter for reasons. 😏)
We Get To Feel it All - Indigo Girls
You and Me On The Rock - Brandi Carlile
Impossible Girl (Clara’s Theme) - Meridian Studio Orchestra
Honey on My Grave - Red Molly
Heavenly Day - Patty Griffin (I love that she wrote this about her dog!)
Mystery - Indigo Girls
The Kiss That Counted - Catie Curtis
Starkville - Indigo Girls
After All - Dar Williams
4 tags (if you want to play too): @badcures @livesvicariouslythroughfiction @fulcrum-art-fox @sssammich

One of my all time favorite Bruce Springsteen covers, Patty Griffin performing "Racing in the Streets".
______________________
Racing in the Streets
Songwriter: Bruce Springsteen
I got a '69 Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight, down in the parking lot
Outside the 7-ELEVEn store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money, got no strings attached
We shut 'em up, and then we shut 'em down
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street
We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast state
When the strip shuts down, we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Now some guys, they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
We're calling out around the world
We're going racin' in the street
I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from LA
I blew that Camaro off my back
And drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home, the house is dark
She sighs, "Baby, did you make it alright?"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight, my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands
Tonight, tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way, mister, you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street

This, to me, is a Yu Shisan song.
Lyrics:
Ain't no talkin' to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
So I'm gonna let him fly
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
And though the light has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said, I'm gonna let him fly
There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Of the choices we are given
It's no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there ain't no talkin' to this man
He's been tryna tell me so
Took awhile to understand
The beauty of just letting go
'Cause it would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh
I'm gonna let him fly

May you dream you are dreaming in a warm, soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Make the sounds of thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head

'Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow
Gonna grab a hold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
To the top of the world

Emily Scott Robinson - When It Don't Come Easy (Patty Griffin Cover)
I’ll let the singer say it all:
“This Patty Griffin song feels like a beacon of light in the darkest of nights. "When It Don't Come Easy" has always stuck with me since I first heard it on a burned CD driving on a dark country road on a Tennessee night. I've been a Patty Griffin fan for nearly 20 years. Her music is always raw, reaching, and powerful to me. For me, this song is a life preserver cast out into dark and choppy waters to anyone you love who needs your help. We are living through the darkest times I have ever seen in my life, especially for women and minorities. As I watch healthcare and reproductive freedom under threat throughout the United States, I am terrified for our safety and freedom. I want to help fight for the human right to make empowered, whole and healthy decisions for our bodies, souls, and lives. This song "When It Don't Come Easy" feels piercingly true right now in these troubled times. It's an anthem for me.”
And a portion of the proceeds goes to support-abortion-funds. It’s a sweet cover, too.

Patty Griffin - No Bad News
This was written at the time of George W. Bush, but I saw her in concert yesterday and she made reference to Trump and also (obliquely) Boris, and it's kind of tragic how many influential people that these lines apply to:
You're a sad little boy, anyone can see you're just a sad little boy
That's why you're carrying on that way
Why don't you burn it all down, burn your own house down
Burn your own house down
Try to kill your own disease
And leave the rest of us, there's a lot of us, leave the rest of us
Who wanna live in peace to live in peace
But anyhow, today's mood isn't that part of the song, it's this:
And we won't be afraid, we won't be afraid
And though the darkness may come our way
We won't be afraid to be alive anymore
And we'll grow kindness in our hearts for all the strangers among us
'Til there are no strangers anymore, yeah
