A few months ago, I started watching the tv show 'Lucifer' which hopefully some day I'll actually get around to finishing, because I was really enjoying it. It has Tom Ellis (I've known him previously from the BBC show 'Miranda'), who plays an incredible Lucifer, with his beautiful British accent and being utterly charming. It's about Lucifer/ the devil who has retired from Hell and now is running a nightclub in Los Angeles. It is when a friend of his is murdered he encounters a homicide detective who is the only one who is immune to his power of drawing out the desires of people. Together they solve crimes, her really loathing him, while he is intrigued with the sudden emergence of compassion as well as the mystery why she doesn't fall at his feet in adoration like everyone else.
The reason why I brought 'Lucifer' up, is that it has a fantastic soundtrack, one of the songs being Cage The Elephant's song "Ain't no rest for the wicked" which in my opinion, is the perfect song for the show. It's such a great song, from their debut album back in 2008. I only purchased this song a couple of days ago because my friend was playing it in their car and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed listening to it. It starts off quite country sounding until it gets really rock after the intro and it is brilliant how the two collide. The lead singer also annunciates the lyrics so well that you can really follow the journey of the character in the song. I like it when you can follow a story. And now that I associate it with 'Lucifer', when I listen to it, it gives me the impression that I can do whatever I want and no one can stop me.
