**PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END**

Soundtrack  **1. Hoist the Colours - Hans Zimmer** media type="file" key="01 Hoist The Colours.mp3" width="240" height="20" //Hoist the Colour//s is sang by a little boy in the movie who is about to be hung for piracy in the beginning of the movie. Shortly afterwards, the others sentenced for execution join him and start to sing this song. The song, which all pirates are aware of, is about the first meeting of the Brethren Court, the nine lords of from different seas. At the first meeting, the nine lords decided that goddess Calypso was too dangerous and should not rule the seas any longer, and therefore had Calypso's lover Davy Jones bind her. This song plays an important role in the movie because when everyone joins the little boy to sing, the "pieces of eight"of the nine lords resonate.

media type="file" key="02 Singapore.mp3" width="240" height="20" //Singapore// is the theme song of Sao Feng, the Pirate Lord of the South China Sea. The song is played when Captain Barbossa and Elizabeth Swan visit him at his bathhouse in Singapore to ask for his ship and crew. The song is played by various Asian instruments in order to emphasize the fact that the characters are in Singapore to meet Sao Feng. The song enhances the mood of the scene in which Sao Feng is introduced, as both the seriousness of the scene and the oriental mood are emphasized.

media type="file" key="03 At Wit's End.mp3" width="240" height="20" //At Wit's End// is the love theme of the movie. The song is very quite in the beginning and slowly builds up until the choir joins in. The song, despite the fact that its theme is love, is quite melancholic and dark, because it serves to emphasize the sad love of Calypso and Davy Jones. The state of Calypso's emotions is well portrayed through the song, as it is quiet in the beginning, loud then calm in the middle, and grandiose at the very end.
 * 3. At Wit's End - Hans Zimmer**

media type="file" key="04 Multiple Jacks.mp3" width="240" height="20" //Multiple Jacks// is played when Jack makes his first appearance in the movie. Ambient tones and electric guitar sounds play a quiet but quirky refrain of //Jack Sparrow//, the theme song of Jack. Then, the song has repetitive synthesized beats and ends abruptly. The song well portrays Jack Sparrow's state of mind while he is imprisoned in Davy Jones' Locker. The quirky intro and rhythmic beats emphasize Jack's "interesting" personality.
 * 4. Multiple Jacks - Hans Zimmer**

media type="file" key="05 Up Is Down.mp3" width="240" height="20" //Up is Down// is played in the scene in which Davy Jones' Black Pearl is tipped upside down and the prisoners escape. The song is fast-paced and exciting, which portrays the emotions of those who are escaping, including Jack. The rhythmic strings emphasize the heroic mood and accompanies Jack's escape scene.
 * 5. Up is Down - Hans Zimmer**

[|I See Dead People in Boats] //I See Deat People in Boats// is a song that is played when Jack, Will, Elizabeth and the others observe the dead souls that pass by the Black Pearl. This is the scene in which Elizabeth notices that her father is among the souls of the dead. The song has a slow trumpet solo that plays a sad tune and is followed by a choir in the background, which emphasize the sadness of the scene.
 * 6. I See Dead People in Boats - Hans Zimmer**

media type="file" key="07 The Brethren Court.mp3" width="240" height="20" //The Brethren Court// is played when the nine lords have a meeting. The song begins with the same tune as //Multiple Jacks//, because Captain Teague, Jack's father is introduced. After the quirky portion of //Multiple Jacks//, the song plays a short tune from //Hoist the Colours//, since that is the song about the Brethren Court. This song serves give the audience a hint that this specific scene links to many other scenes and characters of the movie, such as those who were executed for piracy or Jack Sparrow, Captain Teague's son.
 * 7. The Brethren Court - Hans Zimmer**

[|Parlay] //Parlay// is played when Jack, Barbossa and Elizabeth go to meet with Beckett, Jones and Will to have a final negotiation before the war. The song is very intense and makes the audience nervous since it the parlay is about to decide the fate of the main characters in this movie. The song's loud, dark ending foreshadows that the parlay is not going to go well and a great war is going to take place between the two sides.
 * 8. Parlay - Hans Zimmer**

[|Calypso] //Calypso//, just like its title, is the theme song of Calypso. The song accompanies the scene in the movie in which Tia Dalma, Calypso in human form, is transformed into the actual goddess Calypso. The music is very dramatic because at first, just like Tia Dalma, it is quiet and calm, but is soon accompanied by the grandiose chanting and loud orchestra that portrays Calypso's release.
 * 9. Calypso - Hans Zimmer**

[|What Shall We Die For] //What Shall We Die For// is the song that is played when Elizabeth gives her final speech before the final battle begins in the movie. The slow booming introduction builds up to the orchestral "//Hoist the Colours//" and is soon accompanied by a choir singing the lyrics. The dramatic song perfectly accompanies the Elizabeth's speech because the scene builds up the anxiety and excitement of the characters and the audience as the characters get prepared to enter the battle.
 * 10. What Shall We Die For - Hans Zimmer**

[|I Don't Think Now is the Best Time] //I Don't Think Now is the Best Time// is the song that is played in the actual war scene. The song is majestic and grand, since the scene it accompanies is the climactic battle scene of the movie that involves major action. Also, the song uses many themes of such as //Jack Sparrow//, //Davy Jones,// and //Hoist the Colours//. The various theme songs within the actual song fits the war scene because the battle involves numerous characters fighting against each other for different purposes.
 * 11. I Don't Think Now is the Best Time - Hans Zimmer**

[|One Day] //One Day// is played after the battle has ended in the movie. The pirates celebrate their victory from the war against the East India Trading Company while the song is being played. The powerful, loud orchestral music plays Jack's theme song when he arrives. The song becomes quiet and clam again at the end because Elizabeth and Will share their farewell.
 * 12. One Day - Hans Zimmer**

[|Drink Up Me Hearties] //Drink Up Me Hearties// is played at the very end of the film. It starts with Jack's theme song as he sails over the horizon. Then, the music leads to //He's a Pirate//, the main theme song of the movie that is played at the end of all movies.
