Jack Sparrow (Ballad)

1:43

Moments Worth Listening For

The surprising transition from sincere orchestral pop to the deadpan, dramatic ballad delivery of the Jack Sparrow theme.

The way his signature rasp catches on the high notes of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', adding a weary soulfulness to the fantasy.

The stripped-back, piano-led opening of 'I Will Always Love You' that focuses entirely on the grain of his vocal performance.
