Notes:

The video consists of nine tracks (ten if you count "Anyway", which is played over the closing credits), each of which accompanies a short film by a different director.

The video for "Middle of the Riddle" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1989.

"Ariana" was co-directed by Wolfgang Neuhaus (otherwise known as Ricky Echolette), and featured members of The Other Ones in supporting roles.

"Patricia's Park" was directed by Godfrey Reggio, who had previously made the award-winning movies Koyanisquatsi and Powaqqatsi.

"Romeos", directed by Ian Pringle, features Noah Taylor, star of The Year My Voice Broke and its sequel Flirting, and Shine.

"Mysteries of Love" was directed by Alex Proyas, who later went on to direct the highly-acclaimed moviesThe Crow and Dark City.

"Summer Rain" was directed by the multi-award-winning Susanne Bier, director of the hit horror movie Bird Box.

Songlines was initially released on VHS and laserdisc, and in 2021 was included on DVD format with the remastered edition of The Breathtaking Blue. That release -- remastered from the original film -- features an earlier, previously-unreleased version of "Romeos."
