## Actual film songs

[edit]

Film songs includes mostly actual film music but is not a compilation of Ridgway's complete works for films at the time.[3]

"End of the Line" features on the soundtrack of the 1987 production Terminus and was released as a single in Europe that year, as Ridgway recalls.[4]
