Pirates of the Caribbean series: Most popular songs (21–30)
Skull And CrossbonesKurausu Baderuto
The Japanese title is “Mark of the Pirate.” It’s the piece used in the battle scene against nemesis Barbossa in the first film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Among Pirates of the Caribbean fans, this scene is often hailed as the best fight in the entire series for its intensity.
The raw, driving “Mark of the Pirate” elevates it even further.
Just hearing this track brings to mind the fierce clash of swords between Barbossa and Jack Sparrow, doesn’t it?
MermaidsHansu Jimā
Mermaids have a beautiful image, don’t they? They also have that mysterious aura, like something no one has discovered yet.
When I listen to the chorus’s translucent sound and the very quiet intro, it almost feels like I’ve found a mermaid…! This song gives you the sense that you’re gazing at something wondrous like that.
It feels almost purifying to listen to it (lol).
Two HornpipesHansu Jimā
It’s a very bright and lively piece, but in the film it’s used during a brawl! The track used in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest has an Irish music feel.
Its light, dance-inducing rhythm is part of its charm.
So perhaps they reimagined a classic Pirates of the Caribbean-style all-out brawl as a dance set to this music.
The tune is very catchy and refreshingly exhilarating—a thrilling number that puts you in a cheerful mood!
Angry And Dead Againhansu jimā / rodorīgo i gaburierā
When you think of Pirates of the Caribbean, many people probably imagine grand, intense sounds.
Hans Zimmer’s “Angry And Dead Again,” however, is a striking departure from that image: it’s a gently crafted piece centered on guitar.
Its melancholy atmosphere may conjure vivid scenes from the films for many listeners.
Also, be sure to note how the arrangement swells as it approaches the latter half!
Hello BeastieHansu Jimā
It starts off with a somewhat sorrowful atmosphere, then suddenly shifts midway into an exciting, uplifting tone.
That kind of swell in a song gets us viewers excited too, doesn’t it? With its powerful arrangement, it’s the kind of track that feels like it could bring you to tears.
Moving films always come with moving music, right? Don’t you think this is one of those indispensable pieces?
What Shall We Die ForHansu Jimā
It’s a piece that is quiet yet majestic.
It also has a nuance that somehow gets you excited, and it feels like it might draw out a satisfied sigh.
It’s amazing that it’s not just sad in tone.
Partway through, the development suddenly expands into something that feels grand in scale, as if it’s reflecting on things from long ago… it’s a really cool piece with that kind of vibe!
He is the pirate.Klaus Badelt/Hans Zimmer
The grand, heroic melody performed by a sweeping orchestra beckons you into a cinematic world that stirs the spirit of adventure.
The sound crafted by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer brilliantly captures the freewheeling lives of pirates and the thrill of racing across the open seas.
Used as the ending theme for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, released in July 2003, it has continued to be loved as an iconic piece for the series.
With its dynamic strings and powerful brass, this work is a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone with a fiery passion.
