True Stories, A Film by David Byrne: The Complete Soundtrack is the comprehensive soundtrack from Byrne's sole foray into feature-film directing, with 23 songs, collected for the first time in one package, in film sequence. "I always imagined that the music written for True Stories should be heard as it is in the film," Byrne says. "It makes the most sense this way. Me singing the song that was written for John Goodman's character always felt weird to me. It was written for that character, not for me."
