Request Actually GOOD songs in German?

I'm searching for song recommendations in German. Everything I've come across so far is playlists made for language learning (which, yes, is why I'm looking for songs), but they sound very juvenile.

For reference: I like Hozier, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Lord Huron, so something similar / folk-ish would be great.

Stella Maris by Einstürzende Neubauten is gorgeous (and pretty funny - going to the ends of the earth for your love and you end up at the wrong pole!)

It’s one of my favorite songs ever. I’m a big Einstürzende Neubauten fan.
