Keeping a single song playing throughout different states

[The Terminator]

I'm having a bit of trouble regarding music. I want a single song to keep playing throughout my whole states. I have attempted to use getPlayingOffset to get the current time, and then pausing it temporarily until it switches states, in which another method will resume the music. However, when I attempt to do this, the music refuses to play and spits out "Failed to play audio stream: sound parameters have not been initialized (call initialized first). Any help explaining the error is much appreciated.

An easy solution would be to play the song in the application/GameEngine class.

As for the error, who does have the ownership over the sf::Music resource?
Maybe providing code could help to understand the problem.
