Pop sang and wrote lyrics for tracks 1, 4 & 6. Pop sang on track 10, which had lyrics written by Kusturica.

The song "This Is a Film" quotes a character from the novel Chevengur by a Russian writer Andrei Platonov: "He would show Zakhar Pavlovich the eyes of a dead fish and say, 'Look-there's wisdom! A fish stands between life and death, so that he's dumb and expressionless. I mean even a calf thinks, but a fish, no. It already knows everything". Kusturica acknowledged this in one of his interviews[2]

The melody of the songs "This Is a Film" and "In the Deathcar" is a variation of Enrico Macias song "Solenzara".

The melody of "Dreams" is a variation of the traditional Macedonian traditional song "Zajdi, zajdi, jasno sonce" ("Set, Set, Oh, Bright Sun").
