I saw the movie
The Lobster this week, and it was really good. Absurd, tragic, comic and thought-provoking all at the same time. I highly recommend it.
One of the preview trailers before the film featured the song "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid. I had never heard it before and made a note to look it up when I got home. I've since learned it's been out since 2013 and used in a lot of different movies/trailers/videogames/etc. Check it out.
I'm a little behind on this one too. On the Tony awards broadcast on June 12th, Sara Bareilles and Jessie Mueller performed a duet of Sara's song "She Used to Be Mine" from her musical Waitress, in which Jessie stars. I don't know much about the show, but was so struck by the song and by the performances that I bought both versions. Sara's version of the song is amazing, but Jessie's version, playing a role, gives it an emotional weight that's heartbreaking. Please give them both a listen.
