Jack's lament instrumental (orchestra-only version) 

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best For my talents are renowned far and wide When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms I have seen grown men give out a shriek With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the sound of screams And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King (SHOUT!) Have grown so tired of the same old thing Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to grow There's something out there, far from my home A longing that I've never known I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout England and France And since I am dead, I can take off my head To recite Shakespearean quotations No animal nor man can scream like I can With the fury of my recitations But who here would ever understand That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understood He'd give it all up if he only could Oh, there's an empty place in my bones That calls out for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears

hmm, really good, most orchestral versions have a faint remaining of the voices singing, like a really faint echo. Yours is completly instrumental, perfect =)

And here I am, sewing my Jack Skellington cosplay while listening to this masterpiece, thank you so much for uploading

Danny Elfman is a genius!

Love the waltz part, and I especially enjoy the saxophone solo after the waltz.

2:38 my favorite

내가 최고란 것은 그누구도 부인은 못해 너무나도 잘 알려진 사실이야 달빛 음산한 밤중에 사람 겁주는 건 이제 눈 감고도 할 수 있는 일이지 워낙 미남에다 연기까지 더한다면 어른까지 아주 무서워서 떨지 손을 휘저으면서 신음 소리 들려주면 도망치지 않고 배길 수 없지만 항상 편하지 않고 반복되는 일들 이젠 비명 소리들 조차 너무 지겨우니 바로 나 잭! 호박 대왕 너무 똑 같은 일에 이제 지쳐버렸어 오~ 뼈속 깊이 스며드는 견딜 수 없는 공허함 저 먼 세상 어딘가에 있을 나 모르는 소망 찾고파~ 나는 공포의 주인 빛의 악바라고 불릴지 너흴 얼마든지 겁줄 수 있어 어떤 시골 농부조차도 내 이름을 잘 알아 난 유럽에서 아주 유명하지 또 죽었기 때문에 나의 머리를 뽑아 노래해 셰익스피어가 쓴 명대사 그 어떠한 자가 내 비명 소리를 감히 흉내낼 수 있다는 거야 그렇다고해도 무슨 소용이 있나? 누가 호박 대왕 마음 알아주겠어? 이 뼈만 앙상히 남은 해골 왕은 이제 그만 왕 노릇 모두 포기하고파 오~ 뼈속 깊이 스며드는 견딜 수 없는 공허함 명에 칭송 그 무엇으로도 허무한 눈물 막지 못해

Elementary girls: Frozen has the best Disney soundtrack! Boys: hold my beer.

Nadie puede negar, que soy un tipo singular Con un talento, por demás, sin igual. Si se trata de sustos en la oscuridad Nadie hay que me pueda derrotar. Basta una pequeña dosis de mi encanto fantasmal Y hasta al más valiente hago correr. Con tan sólo mover una mano esqueletal He espantado a mil guerreros a la vez. Más año tras año todo sigue igual Y ya estoy cansado de tanto espantar. Y yo, Jack, el rey de aquí. Ya me cansé de vivir así. Dentro de mi huesudo interior Vacío estoy, vacío voy. Y debe haber alguna razón Yo debo hallar la solución.... Soy un profesional del espanto infernal Y ni un ser hay que aguante mi faz. No hay en todo el planeta quien conmigo se meta Mi leyenda no morirá jamás. Y siendo yo muerto mi cabeza desprendo Y recito a Shakespeare en versos. Ni hombre ni animal, me puede imitar Con la furia de mis gritos y mis gestos. Más quien va, jamás a comprender Que este pobre rey, quien dictó la ley Se cansó de reinar, si pudieran entender Podría renunciar, si pudiera ser. Hay un vacío aquí en mi interior En busca de un que se yo. Poder y honor, no quiero ya más Con eso, no se apaga el dolor

This is one of my all time favorite pieces of music.

I love this Instrumental, overall the music and art of this music gives me chills.

*French lyrics, translated by me* They though i'm a genius, My tricks amazes them every years, it's triumph and glory. I surprise them, when the moon rise up, and they scream before seeing me. Without any sweat, I enjoy playing the ghost, and they panic every time. Just an usual move, just do a "boo" And the toughest army will run away. But, day after day, it's the same feeling there's not enjoying when I do my crimes. And I, Jack, the Scarecrow (Pumpkin king) I admit, I'm tired of all of this In my old corpse, I can feel a strange melancholy For me, life is just a too long sob. My heart hurting me, the death is my prize. I'm the spirit of evil, the mad genius, the dead will not believe their eyes !! (the joke only work in french) I'm married to fear, horror and terror, for the best and mostly the worst. And cause i'm dead, I can use my head to recite : "be or not to be". When I want to, I use my dreadful screech. whose the echo can be hear far away. But one day, maybe, my word will be heard, I, the scarecrow, who don't have any guts, I don't want my crown anymore. How could they understood ? If only they know, that I want to return it. I wander alone, with my old bones. I yearn for the unknow. Power, Glory, seems pathetic next to the emptiness of my despair (It's possible that I made some mistakes, cause i'm french)

Ils me trouvent génial, mes mauvais tours les émerveillent Tous les ans, c'est le triomphe et la gloire! Je leur fais des surprises quand la lune s'éveille Et ils crient avant de m'apercevoir! Sans le moindre effort, je m'amuse à jouer au fantôme Et presque aussitôt, c'est la panique! Un seul geste banal, si l'on sait faire "Bouh!" Fait fuir sur-le-champ l'armée la plus stoïque! Mais jour après jour, c'est la même déprime... Je n'éprouve plus rien en commettant mes crimes! Et moi... Jack, l'épouvantail J'avoue me lasser de la même bataille... Dans mon vieux corps, il règne aujourd'hui Une bien étrange mélancolie Pour moi, la vie n'est qu'un long sanglot Mon coeur éclate, la mort est mon lot... Je suis l'esprit du mal, le génie infernal! Les revenants ne vont pas en revenir... Je suis marié à la peur, l'horreur et la terreur Pour le meilleur et surtout le pire! Et comme je suis mort, je me sers de mon crâne Pour réciter "Être ou ne pas être"! Lorsque l'envie m'en prend, mes cris fracassants Résonnent à plus de cent vingt kilomètres Un jour... oui... pourrai-je me faire entendre Moi l'épouvantail qu'on dit privé d'entrailles? Je n'veux plus de ma couronne! Comment pourraient-ils comprendre? S'ils savaient seulement comme j'aimerais la rendre! Je traîne sans but mes vieux os fourbus Je me languis de l'inconnu... Pouvoir et gloire sont bien dérisoires Face au néant de mon désespoir!

How the heck did you remove the vocals? It wasn't with Proshow Gold (which is just a slide software product). PLEASE share your secret, tell us what software was used for this because it's REALLY well done.

Thank you so much, I was looking for it :)

I am a collector, I would like to know where you got it from; a CD/Vinyl or a special release? Thanks for reading :)

1:41 - 2:00 is what I came for

Is there a way to get oogie boogie's song? The only good one is cut down and isnt the complete song for some reason

We really need the demo instrumental as well as in movie instrumental. The In Movie version begins with a different but similar tune. Like this one too!!

you know you've seen this more than a couple times when you can sing the songs without the words

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I'm the best For my talents are renowned far and wide When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort of my ghost like charm I have seen grown men give out a skriek With the wave of my hand and a well placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the sound of screams For I Jack the pumpkin king have grown so tired of the same old thing Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to grow There's something out there far from my home A longing that I've never known I'm a master at fright, and I demon in light And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky, I am mister unlucky I am known throughout England and France And since I am dead, I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations No animal nor man can scream like I can With the fury of his recitations But who here will e we understand that the pumpkin king with the skeleton grin would tire of his crown If they only understood that he'd give it all up if he only could Oh there's an empty place in my bones that's calling for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year does nothing for these empty tears

Can you do this with "Friends on the Other Side" and/or "What's This?"

At 1:11 it sounds like frozen 2's into the unknown. As soon as I heard that song, I RECOGNIZED THE BEAT right AWAY. Almost immediately

Top 10 anime intros

this is perfect :-D ty! perfect for mic night for halloween this year

1:11-1:40 could probably get away with being a church hymm lol

Sou o rei das surpresas Na escuridão, faço tudo com muita maestria Basta só um simples gesto com a minha mão e o medo surge no olhar Sei fazer um adulto sentir terror, feito uma criancinha a chorar Mas ano após ano é tudo igual, já não aguento esse festival E eu jack, o rei do horror, quero algo mais, algo superior Eu sinto que bem dentro de mim, há uma dor que não tem fim Lá fora bem longe do meu lar, meu coração quer me levar Sou o rei do horror, e o Ás do terror E você logo vai se assustar Eu vou na lua cheia, a noite inteira como um bicho que ninguém pode ver Caso não me conheça, eu tiro a cabeça, e mostro todo meu talento Não há um animal tão irracional, com um grito tão feroz e violento Mas quem poderia imaginar, que o rei do horror, o esqueleto sem cor Não é mais feliz no seu reino de terror, e a sua coroa quer entregar! A escuridão me invade assim, como uma dor que não tem fim Eu sou um rei, com fama e poder Que só queria não mais sofre

Thank you a lot! Is it copyright free? Can I use it as the background for my video?

I loved the song except for the "demon of light" which is satanic lying that ruined the song. With this music lacking the words, the evil is taken out and the good remains. Thanks!

Oh my god
