HBO’s hit series Big Little Lies captivated audiences a few years back, in part because of its compelling soundtrack. One character’s child, for example, creates super-hip playlists on her iPod touch with songs like “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” by the Temptations and “The Wind” by PJ Harvey; songs that reflect the various dramas taking place in the show.
