A favorite of Thom's, he expected it to appear on OK Computer, but unfortunately the band decided not to include it. The song has been played on a few occasions on the 1997/98 tours, often as a powerful encore with just Thom's voice and an acoustic guitar.

If the future of funerals has a sound, this is it. In it's organ driven glory, Motion Picture Soundtrack is actually one of the more put together and optimistic songs on the album (despite the funeral reference). This is actually the song that you hear when you're going up to Heaven and arriving at the Pearly Gates. The cascading harp ending pretty much backs up this theory.

Thom once said in an interview that Motion Picture Soundtrack was written before Creep, which means the track is about 9 years old! Yet, it was only released last year. The live version played on the OK Computer tour had a third verse, but this wasn't included in the version recorded for Kid A.

The band were originally going to add a number of guitar solos to the ending, but scrapped the idea. I'm quite glad they did to be honest.

After this track finishes the album, if you wait about 2 minutes, a short instrumentation will start. It's never been given a name and isn't the 11th track, as it is part of track 10 (Motion Picture Soundtrack). Some places call it 'Genchildren' because of the filename on Napster when Kid A was leaked in 2000. It sounds very like the weird sounds at the beginning of Life In A Glass House.
