Top 10 Songs I Want to Hear in Killing Eve, Season 4

10. Sur La Plache – La Femme
– French lyrics and female vocals, with a throwback style, like Unloved.

9. Our Real is Real – Typical Girls
– Fits Vill and Eve’s love and is a match for Unloved’s musical style.

8. Joga – Bjork
– Sounds like Unloved’s “Lee,” and is also a good love song for Vill and Eve.

7. Isobel – Bjork
– Sounds like Unloved’s “Love Lost.” Lyrics fit both Vill and Eve, at this point.

6. Sun in My Mouth – Bjork
– Sounds like Unloved’s “Forever Unloved.” Good for a soft scene.

5. Mr. Jones – Counting Crows
– Fits a scene here, between Dasha and Vill, eating brunch, in Barcelona, and the themes of Season 3, as a whole.

4. You Can’t Always Get What You Want – Rolling Stones
– Thematically fits Villanelle and sounds like Unloved’s “Xpectations.”

3. When the Levee Breaks – Led Zeppelin
– Good for a climactic scene and sounds like Unloved’s “Guilty of Love.”

2. Woke Up This Morning [Chosen One Mix] – A3
– Also sounds like Unloved’s “Guilty of Love,” and was an opening song for “The Sopranos.”

1. Time to Pretend – MGMT
– Thematically fits both Vill and Eve: from the wanting to break out of cubicles and the “commute,” to living an over-the-top life in “Paris.”

Cai took Dan to a tailor, and that evening they appeared at The Alley Cat – a premier entertainment venue, featuring on its stage, every night, diverse acts, from contortionists and disappearing magicians, to traveling troupes of escape artists.

Circular tables, covered with black tablecloths, were each lit with one red candle, in a circular glass. A cigar bar, The Alley Cat was one of the few establishments Downtown where you could still smoke indoors.

Through the haze, Dan glimpsed the two men from Cai’s cell phone picture: the tan, bearded Sebastian in a dark suit and a navy dress shirt, and the pale, smooth-faced Hod, in a suit and tie.

The clean-shaven FBI agent looked up at Dan and caught his eye. Dan felt a hook twist in his stomach, despite himself. Behind the profound gaze, he sensed a hot-blooded man, compelled by an all-consuming fire. The bearded man – although also broad-shouldered and endowed with an immense soul – was the more relaxed one, of the two.
