I, too, loved the opening sequence. It reminded me of pictures I’ve seen of the Holocaust, where they piled up all the shoes. I loved the song, especially the little boy - his youth made it all the more sad when he was hanged. I’m also slightly irritated that the soundtrack cut out the middle part of the song, leaving it at only 1 1/2 minutes long.

This is one of the most powerful opening scenes I have ever seen. I love it. To me it was one of the better scenes of the entire movie

I love that song. And it turns out to be quite important. Barbosa mentions to Sao Feng that “the song has been sung” while holding a piece of eight up. If you watch the opening scene, the boy also has a piece of eight. The lyrics to the song (emphasis added) are “The king [pirate king] and his men [the lords] took the queen from her bed [Calypso from the sea] and bound her in her bones. [locked her in human form]” This is the song that calls the Pirate brethren together and is a reminder of what they had done. Beckett, when told that they were singing, looks relieved and says “finally” as if he was expecting this to happen and is the signal he had been waiting for. So much detail in that movie. I love it! Glad you liked it to.

hey kool song
can anyone email it to me!!! thanx

This song is amazing. I never really noticed about the lyrics like Adam said, but now I do see that.

that part of the movie (when the little boy was singing it) made me want to cry. it was soooo sad that he had to die, its just a little boy. but i thought it was a wonderful movie.

For those who want the ORIGINAL song from the movie, the link is: http://www.imperiuminferi.com/HTC.html

Remember to right click with your mouse and “save target as”. For those who can’t get it that way, you can e-mail me for it.

We can all thank Awesome-X for sending it to me and a friend of his for making it into a link.

Pirates 3 rules, but Calypso stuff was confusing i got lost a lot in the movie, like how in the very begging when Will is being held under water in that Chinese dudes place, how the Heck does he hold his breath so frekin long its not human, he holds his breath for like 10 min, i mean holy crap, yes i am freking out because the entire movie i sat there wondering how he did it.

it was an awesome movie if u have not seen it yet u should

I too loved the song, very inspiring to musicians like me. However, the lyrics are “never SHALL we die,” and “where we will, WE’LL (we will) roam.”

Okay, so I’ve gotten a few e-mails stating that they can’t download from the site. So, I’ve made a little link of my own. This should do it. But again, if it doesn’t e-mail me at randomhyperness0@gmail.com.

The link: http://www.geocities.com/midnightfairy620/01_P3_Hoist_Opening_W__Vox_v5.mp3

Hopefully that works. It should open immediately with the command for Open, Save, or Cancel

I’m french, and I have heard that song in french … I love it, and, the thing is, it’s as beautiful in english !!
Now I’m happy, I was looking for the lyrics … and it’s easier to find them in english than in french ^^

Very good movie, very good scene, songs, and characters : that’s the least we can say !

You should watch the movie again and listen for the melody of this song in the backround. it re-appears many times. A couple of examples i can remember is in the next scene elizabeth is singing it, and when the brethren are meeting it is being played in the backround. There are many more but i cannot remember them

This movie was the greatest movie that has ever been made.And that song was so good.Its even on my myspace.I went to see it twice.Also I just wonder how many of you waited after the credits.If you didn’t,you should next time.

The scene was amazing - absolutely stunning. The power built as the song raised in strength, the unity - the filming… the little boy! Poor little boy… he wins my soul.

OMG!
I in really LOVE this song!
is that.. i dont know.. it expresee all that i feel for POTC xd. no no. I LOVE the scene.. I sow it and I thought “this movie is FANTASTIC, AMAZING, ETC ETC” and of course that is soooo good ;). in really, more “good”

I’m slightly annoyed that they didn’t develope the little boy more. He played such a key role. He started the call, it would have been nice to see him again.

Hmm…I skipped that, but what you seem to be pointing at is that the boy is alive? Would make sense considering we never actually saw him hanging from the gallows. I will have to go watch the movie again to see the epilogue.

please mail me the complete song if u have it. Its simply Perfect for me and ill love to have it eduardo_sacco@hotmail.com

If anyone knows where to get the complete version of the song, OR the clip after the credits of the movie, please email the link to me at fireburn_yuiidragon@hotmail.com.

Whoever had the idea to have that little boy open the movie is a genious… he was the cutest kid ever!

So this song is completely amazing. Very nice way to open up a movie.
However, since the opening weekend I’ve seen it twice, and twice neglected to stay for after the credits haha.
Someone please send me the link/ file for that clip if you have it.

email is
eepsters2@yahoo.com

*can

i totally agree! the opening scene was sooooooooo powerful! (and a tear jerker.. though i was kinda upset that some of my friends didn’t like it.. cause they found it confusing:(

and share the link(if anyone has it) so that everyone can enjoy the full version of hoist the colours and be HAPPY!:)

I saw the movie yesterday, and just loved that part! I loved the whole movie, though…
Im really angry at myself for leaving before the credits were over, since I read that you see Will and Elizabeth’s son..I’ve also read that because of Elizabeths strong love for Will, the curse was broken. That makes me happy
Im so gonna buy this movie when it comes out on DVD!

hey and by the way, thanks for the song!!!

it is a brilliant film!!! im watchin it tomorrow so i will look out for the end scene.
its one of those films that you want to watch over and over again. this song is brill im obssessed with it. although i do warn you it can be confusing so pay alot of attention and read the other comments!!!

bye

make that 3, amber. haha

Ah, this song is so amazing, and i loved the opening of the film. That was really .. uh.. i don’t know, but it was a bad feeling, to see the boy there.

And i think that it was the same boy, who played wills son after the credits O_o..

and, if someone find the complete song, please email to heartless-soul@gmx.net

What I noticed most in this scene, were the political statements made, “Right to an attorney, suspended. Habeas Corpus, suspended.” They were really taking a stab at the Bush administration there. Wonderful scene, gave me goosebumps.

Zemerick,

He was noted as the original owner of the song, thing is, he is known as a different name on livedigital.com or where ever it is that he has it posted. I did not claim it as my own, merely provided the song to others.

I didn’t read the replies closely enough and missed you giving the credit. What I had been referring to was not someone trying to claim it as their own, simply that the original post stated “Someone had uploaded the song to listen to,”, but not citing who, and in my state of lack of sleep, I didn’t notice in your link saying who the someone was:)

Zemerick, who exactly should I give the credit to for the download links? I’ll fix it as soon as I’m sure who it needs to go to. Also, If you wouldn’t mind, I would like to post a link to the ‘After Credits’ scene at the top in the initial blog post so that other people can easily find it without having to dig through the comments.

Thanks

have you noticed will has got his ear pierced and not in the other two films!!!

As a lot of you have said it’s a very strong scene, the opening - I love how were really told everything before it begins, and we don’t notice until the movies is done %D
But the boy who sings it - someone mentioned, that they’d like if he had returned. For you who stayed until after the credits: that boy looked a lot like the one who began singing, didn’t he? Or is it just me? I didn’t get a good look ^^

If anyone has a part of a film when Elizabeth is singing that song please send it! Just at the beggining she is singing almost whole song. Where can I find it?
best regards

the song is great I love it ;] pozdrowienia z Polski sorry za błedy ;]

anyone out there who happens to have the extended version of the song? (The part where Elizabeth is singing)
Could you PLEASE sand it to me?:)

My e-mail is: kjersti_vika@hotmail.com

The movie was amazing, the song Hoist The colours was completely powerful, every thing about it has been posted by other comments.

But if i could please get the full version of the song as well sent to my email that would be awesome.

Thank you! ^.^

this song is kick ass

chat with me

just wanted to point out a difference in lyrics between the soundtrack and the “Extended version”

in the extended version, when the men join in, they say “all hands” instead of “haul together”

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we’ll roam.

Yo, ho, all hands,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.

interesting discussion about the little boy at the begining of the movie. he was holding a spanish dollar/ coin. but like some one earlier mention that lord becket have several piece of the same coin on the table when he was talking to capt. jack sparrow earlier in the movie before the Chinese pirate lord attack and escape with the black pearl.

not sure if i’m making any sense. if you do understand, can anyone interpret that part?

I would just like to point out that the boy in the end scene and at the start are completly different.
The end scene would have been better if they added on the deleted scene about Elizabeth’s love for Will broke the curse. Also Will has got his ear pierced and not in the other 2 films and at the start in Singapore (I think thats how you spell it) when Will was under the water in the tub … next scene you see him in, he is out of the tub.

i love the movie and the song

Does anyone know where you can get the full version of Hoist The Colors?

Where can I get the version of the song that go by the mentioned Lyrics above?

if u pay attention to the scene in shipwreck cove, the “9 pieces of 8″ are actually 9 pieces of junk that the 1st pirate lords had used to bind calypso to her human form, and passed down to their successors, the coins were merely something the pirates carried and Beckett had taken the coins off of dead pirates, when the song was sung in the beginning, it sent out a call to all other pirates to signal that the brethren court was needed, and so they convened at shipwreck cove…i don’t know how the call is sent out through the coins but it could’ve been something mystical i guess. and yes, the boy in the beginning does die unfortunately, and the one after the credits is completely different.

im sorry but i think some of ur lyrics mite be rong : /

The two children are different.

The beginning scene is not the last scene.

Her love for Will does not break the curse (unless it’s a deleted scene, as someone mentioned-in which case it would just be a really crappy ending).

And I’m also jumping on the bandwagon. If anybody can find a full version (With Elizabeth singing) of the song, please send it to me as well. Thanks in advance: fzhang07@gmail.com

You can find a decent clip of the end on Youtube.com if you type in “Pirates of the Caribbean at Worlds End after the credits”

MP3 FOR “HOIST THE COLOUR” CAN GET AT LIMEWIRE.

Hey!

I never really got that first bit of the Movie untill now! I absolutley agree, there is ALOT of detail in this Movie. The critics panned it because “It went for over three hours”, but I like a long Movie. I bet that it was just there incompetent minds that couldn’t understand the sophistication and detail of POTC At Worlds End.

Heh, in the wise words of Captain Barbossa, “There be many long words there, were not but humble pirates”

Hello my name is jeffey im from holland

ware can i download the full version
please e-mail me

Thanx 4 the song lyrics!
Two points for other people leaving messages -
Lots of people are saying that the little boy wears braces - he doesn’t, in fact he just has very dirty teeth.
The Calypso thing - she’s the goddess of the sea, and the pirate court bind her so that they can control the sea, not her. Her lover, Davy Jones, tells them how to bind her and release her. She is betrayed by this, but we do not know if it was before of after this that he became the captain of the flying Dutchman. An added extra (this is supported by interviews) is that you only have to be the captain of the flying dutchman for 10 years, and then you can be set free - but only, ONLY, if your true love is there for you when you come to shore at the end of that time. ‘It is my nature’ (Tia Dalma) is a pretty lame excuse, but she is a goddess. *shrugs*. This explains why DJ was soooo upset and betrayed by her when she failed to turn up - she condemned him to ten more years of ferrying the dead. So he rebelled, and got all tenticaly. Hence ‘After which betrayal did you cut your heart out, I wonder?’ They’ve both betrayed each other.
We know (It’s in the scene after the credits) that Liz is there for Will (with their child) after ten years, so he is no longer bound to the ship.

The movie is really great… I saw it twice and don’t have words to describe it..

Thkx for the extra part.. I missed it.. =( oops and for the song as well!!!

Kisses from Portugal..

It’s been confirmed by the writers that Will is not bound to the ship. In a deleted scene Davy Jones tells Tia Dalma (there is a link on wikipedia for the proof of this) and in the final scene where will returns there is (again, proven by directors) a flash of green light which signifies a sould coming back to earth so Will lives again.

As for the Dutchman always having a captain, who knows? Appointed perhaps? Remember Davy Jones only had to ferry people to the ‘land of the dead’ as punishment andturned to a fish person wen he stopped after 10 years because he was then bound to the ship. So maybe the Dutchman stops duty? Who cares, links can be found and there is a deleted scene which will no doubt show up on the DVD (20 minutes worth the directors have said wasdeleted).

Aboutthe song, i loved it. not so keen the first time but the 2nd it was excelent and really emotional. Very good start.

And as forthe guy claiming the first scene takes place after, you think too much mate. Accept it for what it is, and don’t look too far. 1) by the time the kid would have been 10, Beckett would have been dead a good decade. 2, the pieces of 8 weren’t actually pieces of eight, and 3, as Tia Dalma and Barbossa say ‘the song has been sung’. I suggest though, from that conclusion you like the matrix?

Great website! Thanks for posting the song and the final scene. POTC is great!

i cant remember who it was but someone sait it was a trilogy but as soon as Orlando comed of his leave there filming the 4th…as far as i know(but im completly uncertain) its a double trilogy (6 parter)…i just had to poinyt thst out…
