@@dashman8499 Most of it takes place in Minnesota, and the Coen Brothers are Minnesotans writing their version of a paean to their home state.

[@deeclark8769]

Yeah, almost hear a little Edvard Grieg in there somewhere.

[@BaileysMariner]

It actually is inspired by a traditional folk song from that part of the world, called The Lost Sheep I believe. The full name is probably here in the comments if you have a scan.

[@Paslayas]

The Coen Brothers' trademark besides assembling an amazing cast, stories, dialogue, is finding the right sounds for their movies. The soundtracks for ALL of their movies are just perfect ❤

This is brilliant!! Growing up in the upper Midwest, this perfectly encapsulates the despair, the stark, cold, hopelessness you can feel in the long winter months. Yet hearing it now despite being in warmer climates for years just reminds me of HOME 😑

[@oscarfun100]

I rememeber when I saw this movie, it was a few months after the Oscars and they played the main theme when the Coens and McDormand won, so I knew that the music was gonna be great, but oh my, the very first scene, the snow, the slow melody and then BUMMMM. It was sooo awesome.

[@psychokitty444]

So, here’s what’s known: 1). Fargo, North Dakota (0:00) - Opening titles as Jerry drives into Fargo. 2). Unknown Cue #1 - First pass by the statue as we cut to the Blue Ox Hotel. “Paul Bunyan” variant. 3). Forced Entry (4:24) - Carl and Gaear attempt to kidnap Jean. 4). Unknown Cue #2 - Jean panics and falls down the stairs. 5). A Lot Of Woe (3:31) - Jerry loses his composure in the parking lot. 6). Unknown Cue #3 - Jerry comes home to find the house in shambles. 7). Paul Bunyan (19:10) - Second pass by the statue as Carl and Gaear enter Brainerd. 8). Unknown Cue #4 - The Sierra is pulled over. Callback to “Forced Entry” towards the end. 9). Trooper’s End (6:46) - Carl’s bribery attempt fails, leading Gaear to shoot the state trooper. 10). Rubbernecking (8:44) - Gaear chases down the unfortunate couple. 11). Mallard (12:15) - Pan over Norm’s studio to Marge and Norm. 12). Moose Lake (2:49) - Carl and Norm bring Jean to the cabin. Sounds like an edit or differently arranged take in the film. 13). Ozone (5:47) - Carl tries to get a signal on the television, as Jean and Gaear look on. 14). Dance of the Sierra (10:50) - Carl swaps out his dealer plates with a random vehicle. 15). Delivery (13:18) - The ransom delivery goes off the rails; Jerry witnesses the bloody aftermath. Missing the drum hit at the 3:48 mark when he finds Wade dead, though it may just be sound design. 16). Safe Keeping (25:40) - Carl hides the majority of the ransom in the snow. 17). Chewing On It (7:50) - Marge reconsiders Jerry’s motivations over a burger, while he tries to fudge serial numbers. 18). Eager Beaver (19:45) - Marge apprehends Gaear trying to dispose of Carl’s body. First minute-twenty-seven is unused, utilized portion begins at 21:12. 19). Bismarck, North Dakota (18:06) - Marge’s reinforcements arrive, state troopers prepare to arrest Jerry in Bismarck. 20). Brainerd, Minnesota (22:58) - Marge and Norm snuggle together; end titles.

[@mrzulcan4290]

The movie and tv series has that Kubrickesque quality and style about it that appeals to me. The music adds another dimension to the narrative and visuals.

[@ringitcloseup]

Holy mother of GOD. I have been saying that for decades and since people around me have no clue who Franz Kafka is and probably thinks this film is pretentious garbage. But after decades i finally met someone albeit online that noticed this. BTW this gem of a franchise ( initially the film) is one of my favorite.

[@xavariusquest4603]

I have family in North Dakota. They hate the movie, the sound track... everyrhing about it. I never can understand why. The music conveys the tragedy of a event, so profoundly shocking, that it lingers to this day. The thing they dont understand is how wonderful it is to still be shocked by the inhumanity that lingers inside humans. It is a gift...because it means you havent become complacent. I envy not their naivety but their sense of an expectation for something better from us. Summed up no better than the ending..."for what?...a little bit of money...and on such a beautiful day" and she is starting to weep.

[@dashman8499]

I found myself feeling a lot of subtle emotions in this film, and the soundtrack was a big part of the execution of those emotions

[@etaifour2]

i dissociate myself from the movie a bit, and just lsiten to the music. it constantly starts by reminding me of good, warm times, ones that awefully went wrong at one point. it's like listening to memory loss of a complete generation

[@rollsroyce3784]

At some parts of this fantastic soundtrack, my blood is freezing. I literally could feel the ice crystals inside my veins when a shiver runs down my spine. Particularly, if the pictures of this movie come back in mind. The overwhelming desolate spatial extent, snow, snow, snow that finally covers the traceability of human behaveiour and white surrounding those little bloody hot spots. It just happens, almost as simply and gently as snow is falling.....

All of my life I dreamt of living in the midwest, capturing this peaceful, modest, human, yet also mysterious feel. There is a mystique to a lot of America for me, since I could be there only for 2 years although I watched so many great American movies in the 90s. I just want one diner, one library, one church, one donut shop, big cars, a lot of snow, people who smile at you in the morning kinda place.

[@johnnyngo2896]

Without a doubt one of the best movie soundtracks ever made considering that it sounds very beautiful and dramatic. Add to the fact that it was in Fargo makes this soundtrack even more iconic and unforgettable.

Joshua Tozer no trust me i've even listened to the score of the twilight films and they're legit good, like he really _tried_. it sounds like an epic thriller romance film with a gothic feel to it when you just listen to the soundtrack. bless his heart for trying because that was one of the only bright spots of the films.

Awesome post, love how you actually have the song titles in the description box, and I don't wanna bother you really, and you don't have to, but I was wondering perhaps if you could put at least a rough idea of how far into the video each song is in minutes & seconds next to each song, just so I know for sure which ones I'm listening to? Or so I know too if a song begins/ends for sure cuz at times some seem to blend together kinda close, or go in a slow enough tempo to have me wonder if 1 song is 2 songs, etc. You know what I mean? Like I said, you don't have to but is sure as heck appreciate it. Amazingly Spotify doesn't even have this album on it, not that I've seen. :)
