Soundtrack
We have had countless requests for a soundtrack release of BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts we have not been able to secure a label for a soundtrack, so none can be released. Ironic, no?
So while we can’t make a soundtrack available, we can at least let you know what the amazing songs are that appear in the film. In many cases, there are alternate versions of these songs available on released albums.
The following is the complete track listing of music in the film, and availability (where possible). Please support these artists and buy their great music.
