I didn't hear Hozier's "Like Real People Do" until after I had written "The Creeping Influences," but I loved finding out that it was inspired by the same cycle of poems by Seamus Heaney. (So was at least one other piece of falling-in-love-with-a-bog-body fiction that I know about, although I am perhaps pettily bitter about it.) I love that the song is generating its own genealogy of archaeological romance. I hope it keeps on branching.
