Music from Storytelling

[deleted]

I've looked all over for this. I think it may be by Nathan Larson (Larsen) from searching the web. Or it might be by Belle and Sebastian, but if so god knows why it isn't on their "soundtrack". If anyone figures out where to find it please post the info.

Although part of the attraction to this song is it's being unavailable (I want the one I can't have, and it's driving me mad) it also sets the hook ferociously for the story to come, and the story doesn't disappoint. A great cinematic moment, I'm talking chills.

In case you have not found out already, I can inform you that the song playing in the beginning of the film is "Fiction" by Nathan Larson and Nina Persson (Cardigans) however retrieving it might prove difficult as it to my knowledge has not been officially released.

I did some poking around and found that it is titled "Fiction" (yes, B&S put a song with the same title on their soundtrack) by Nathan Larson, and it will come out on a film music compilation album of his titled FILMWERK , to be realeased Februaray or March on Commotion/ Koch records. All of this, by the way, I found out at www.nathanlarson.com .
I, too, apparently like many, loved that opening theme with the pulsating moog and picked up B&S's soundtrack to find not that, but several other good songs. I actually live in a closet and had not heard of Belle and Sebastian until then, and now count myself among their countless fans. Despite the happy ending to this disappointment, I have often wondered about that mysterious, transfixing song, and craved to have it for the soundtrack of my life. It seems that soon all things will come together.
Larson's wife, it bears mentioning, is the glamorous Nina Persson of the Cardigans, and she did the vocals on the theme from Storytelling (she also gets a co-songwriting credit on this site, though, I believe, not on the actual film credits).

If you really wanted the song, you could always pull it out of the opening scene. There is not really any background noise while the credits are rolling, so you could rip a clean copy of it, if you own the movie, and the proper software.

Storytelling - 01 - Missing track - Overture
find it at kazza
i burn it up from the dvd.

*sigh* I guess I'll have to help you clods. The song you are looking for is "The State I Am In". Before you point out that it is listed on the "soundtrack listing" here on IMDB, it does not appear on the soundtrack for Storytelling. Why is this? The song appeared on Belle and Sebastian's debut album "Tigermilk" and was not written for the film "Storytelling". If I were you I'd go out and purchase the entire Belle and Sebastian catalogue and absorb the pinnacle of music. Helping people makes my ego enlarge!
