The closing credits. A slow, burning dirge. The final shot of the film (Antarctica) combined with this track leaves the viewer in a state of frozen melancholy.

9 Songs occupies a grey area. While technically still under copyright (owned by Tartan Films, later acquired by various entities), the film has been "abandoned" commercially. You cannot buy a new Blu-ray in most regions. The DVD is out of print. Consequently, preservationists have uploaded the film to the Internet Archive to prevent it from becoming lost media. 9 songs internet archive

If you are specifically looking for the music featured in the 2004 film The closing credits

This is the holy grail of the Archive. Someone’s grandfather, likely, sitting in a living room, playing a sloppy, beautiful 12-bar blues. At 1:47, a baby cries in the background. The guitarist doesn’t stop; he just plays louder. It is raw, imperfect, and more real than 99% of studio recordings. Who was he? The Archive doesn’t know. He exists only in these 187 seconds. 9 Songs occupies a grey area
