Ships in the Night • Jack&Elizabeth

"Like ships in the night, you keep passing me by."
A few days ago, I realized how much this song reminded me of Sparrabeth. Of course, there's the whole "ships/sea" thing, and then there's the meaning of how great they could be together but they somehow never take a chance.
I barely ever talk about these two, but they really got under my skin. They have a lot of potential and the chemistry between the actors is off the charts! I only wish they had more scenes to vid *__*
So here you go: pure Sparrabeth. No manips.
◘ VOICEOVERS:
"Elizabeth..."
"Jack..."
"That would never have worked out between us."
"That would never have worked between us, darling."
"Keep telling yourself that, darling."

This must be one of the best Sparrabeth videos out there. I loved the editing and the song fits great.

I absolutely love making parallels so thank youuu :)

@SilverehRose aaaah, I know, they could have been amazing, right? :D Wish PotC were a tv show. ^^

[@melroseee]

not even kidding when I say this brought me to tears. pirates of the caribbean was my first fandom, way back when I was like 13 and I shipped this SO hardcore and I just rewatched DMC tonight for the first time in years and I just saw this too and I am SO EMOTIONAL god this vid was fantastic :)

[@EditsByLyra]

@EzperansaS Thanks so much! :D I didn't know there were so many J/E fans out there, so I didn't expect so much feedback x)

[@KuningannaSansa]

This is brilliant!! So well edited! :)

that was really good !!! :)

[@smartiegirl112]

i know same with me here:)

[@lovethemtigers]

Still holding out for all hope against hope that someday they'll make a Pirates 5,6 or 7 that shows where Jack and Lizzy finally admit their love for one another! LOL! Love this video, perfect song, clips and the effects are gorgeous

[@chaosking3940]

they made 5 ;) and now I'm hoping for a 6

[@MomtoBoys66]

In my opinion, you can’t have Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp. They are crazy to even think about it. Stupid.

[@EditsByLyra]

Agreed. I also can't believe he's the one being punished when all evidence points to her abusing him. I hate what message this sends to abused men out there.

[@MomtoBoys66]

@@EditsByLyra Oh my goodness!! YES!! It’s ridiculous this is even still going on!! There is so much evidence against her. Multiple of his exes including his ex-wife is standing up for him!! Why is none of this evidence and personal testimony on his behalf being taken seriously?! Makes me so angry!!

[@eunecelim8604]

words cant express how much i ship these two

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! AMAZING Sparrabeth tribute!

+CaribbeanKitty2 Thank you! :)

[@WolveriaTV]

When the movies first came out, I was all about Will/Elizabeth, but now that it's been a few years and I'm revisiting the movies, I'm like holy shit?? These two were meant for each other? We were robbed. So thank you for this video, I needed it and it is perfect.

[@EditsByLyra]

Right ?! The more I rewatch the movies and edit fanvids, the more I realize how tragically perfect they were. If only, it had been aknowledged more at the end.

[@WolveriaTV]

Yep yep this is definitely my favorite Sparrabeth and I watch it at least once every day. What editing program do you use, if you don't mind me asking? Mine is kinda meh and not all that great so I might try to find a better one lol

[@cupsofsoup1653]

I still ship these two hard - their my guilty pleasure :$ So this was a PLEASURE to watch ;) I don't know how many times I'm allowed to say I love your vids but - I loved this one too!

[@alexkilarilove1996]

I can watch this vid again and again...I love her, POC and Sparrabeth so much *^*

[@EditsByLyra]

@kal556 aww thank you!! :) I love convincing people, haha. So glad you're falling for them!

[@shotgunsandstakes]

SO GREAT!! Love Sparrabeth!! :D

[@warfield0008]

wow i cant ive been watching this over and over and over so good, my god.

[@sorsaria]

Love this! Jack and Elizabeth were always so much more interesting to me ^_^

[@lovesingread]

OH MY GOSH, gorgeous! Sparrabeth is one of my top ten favorite ships, and this was brilliant! LOVE.

[@sweethomesweethome1741]

They shoud've been the ones to end up together 😥❤️

[@EditsByLyra]

Amen to that 👏

[@EditsByLyra]

Thanks :)

[@DaryaGavrilovaTVD]

amazing!!

[@EditsByLyra]

Haha, converting people to ships is pretty awesome ;D

[@EditsByLyra]

@woodleonYT YES, COULDN'T AGREE MORE. =D Elizabeth+Will felt too fairytale-like to me, too love at first sight. Whereas Elizabeth+Jack had something more complex that really appealed to me. The fact that they can't stand each other at first (well more on her side I guess) but still cared that much about each other makes the journey of their relationship pretty amazing.

[@EditsByLyra]

@MortalMagicDestruct Awww, thanks! :D It took me AGES to find BluRay rips but I'm glad I vidded them in the end, and you guys like it :) ... The flash is actually an overlay. I usually download them from pond5 (the low resolution comp) and then use the blurring effect to "remove" the watermark ;)

[@EditsByLyra]

@TheRealBellaSwan85 Thank you!! :D ... I'm not really into Orlando Bloom's roles but I've seen him in interviews and he seems like such a nice guy! You know, the kind you'd like to actually know, in real life =)

[@EditsByLyra]

@VilyaXxX0llwyna Muahahahaha, come over to the dark side. We have rum! ;D ... Thanks so much! I loved making it and of course, being able to use lostalongthewayy's coloring :)

[@EditsByLyra]

@Ichiruki360 Merci!! :D En fait, la coloration est assez complexe, mais ce n'est pas moi qui l'ai faite. Le lien vers cette talentueuse personne se trouve dans la description ;) hehe

[@EditsByLyra]

@xLoveLaurax Awww thanks Chicken!! :D Yeah, I have no idea why I never told you x) guess there's always more to find out about each other! ;)

[@VilyaXxX0llwyna]

gaaaaaah srsly...a kingdom for your colouring! IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! and so is the video and I don't even like that ship....SO I THOUGHT.

[@EditsByLyra]

@xFallenIntoShadow Haha, this is awesome! I can't wait to see your vid!! :D No wonder you got inspired by the song too, it's perfect for them! ;)

@cupsofsoup1653 Awww, Cups thank you so much! :D And these two have too much chemistry, it shouldn't be legal! xD

[@corinnaneuhauser6776]

Please excuse my English, but I thought I might share my opinion: I personally like Will and Elizabeth together because he was the most logical choice for her, he's predictable and her safe haven - something Jack could never be (or want to be), he wouldn't want to settle down, commit himself to her. Elizabeth needs some consistency in her life, someone she can be sure she can turn to anytime. Also, Will and Elizabeth have feelings for another, a "first love"-kinda thing. On the other hand it's utterly heartbreaking to not see her with Jack, because they're obviously madly in love and can't admit it (or at least Jack knows Elizabeth is bound to Will). As a young girl I never understood how she could've chosen Will when she truly loved Jack more, but now that I'm older I get it. Passion doesn't always work out and somebody that makes you feel safe in a world full of change and inconsistancy is better than somebody that comes and goes how they please to, unreliably, unpredictably, not looking back. (Let me put it like this: Will would make sure Elizabeth would always be in his sight, safe and happy, Jack would expect her to follow him and always be able to stand up for herself.) It hurts because Elizabeth was most likely raised to think that way since she comes from a rich family ("get a man that got income and a good reputation") and she couldn't let that go, even though she loves the impulsive nature of Jack. We can see from that start of the first film that she doesn't want to be that perfect little posh girl, she wants adventure and fight and love and... Sad she didn't get that in the end and essentially lost Will too (at least for a long time). Kind of ironic when I think about it. Would love to hear your thoughts!! PS: love the video, really captures the feelings I get when watching the films! :)

[@EditsByLyra]

Thank you for your thoughts ! :) I think you said it beautifully. There is definitely a lot of truth to it. I agree that passion is overrated, and trust / safety is actually very important in the long run. That's why I don't hate Will and Elizabeth. In a way, it's a good choice for her. But at the same time, I can't help but love the connection she has with Jack. And I like to think that she could be his equal, ruling the seas together, because they have so much in common. Still, I don't know. It's hard to picture him in a committed relationship. Maybe neither one of them is perfect for her. It's very sad that the writers went with that ending for her. It's pretty much the worst thing they could have done character-wise, it erases her whole arc. Kinda makes Will look bad for her, too. They shouldn't have gone with that ending, and I'm choosing to ignore it. Haha.

[@EditsByLyra]

I also made a newer Jack/Elizabeth video which, I think, illustrates my feelings about them better, if you're interested. It's called The Land Touched The Sea. :)

[@EditsByLyra]

The writers definitely adress the whole Jack-and-Elizabeth-wouldn't-work problem in the movies, so that makes me think you're right about Jack not being able to entirely commit to her. It's been said twice: "it would never have worked out between us". On the flip side, Jack does answer with "keep telling yourself that, darling" in the 3rd movie - which could just be a cheeky answer or could be the writers aknowledging that the pair could have worked surprisingly well if Jack and Elizabeth had actually given it a chance. It's a mystery !

[@corinnaneuhauser6776]

@@EditsByLyra MsLyraGW I still think they did her dirty with that ending. Somebody pointed out that the Isle in the end of the movie is Tortuga, but I still would've liked to see some more of Elizabeth, even if "only" as a mother. I doubt she'd have let her son go have adventures without her, especially since he was all she had left with both Will and Jack gone. And I agree, Jack is Elizabeth's soulmate. Maybe the writers believed that it would be too much of a "tough girl from a rich family falls in love with brave but shabby boy from the sea" sort of storyline and they actually wanted Elizabeth to be more than Jack's potential love interest, completely ignoring their chemistry and the fact that Elizabeth is a strong character despite (or with it). She truly deserves a happy ending. Jack and her could've worked out, definitely, but they had both led very different lifes before they met and couldn't let go of their old ways and the things they've been told (Jack that he's useless by multiple women and even some he calls friends, Elizabeth that she would never be a real pirate and should settle for an ordinary life and man by her father, her only parental figure and someone she dearly loved). I even believe that they would always be drawn to each other even if they split up after a while. There's some bond or connection between them that they don't quite seem to understand themselves. But I guess I can only dream, huh? :) Ah, I see I'm rambling, hope you don't mind, it's just so bittersweet to me. :') I will definitely go watch your more recent video!

[@EditsByLyra]

@@corinnaneuhauser6776 Yeah, yeah I completely agree with you. It makes perfect sense to me. Just a sidenote but I'm not 100% sure I pictured Elizabeth raising a kid (granted, protected sex may not have been an option in their times, so I don't know) but instead finding the freedom she'd always craved for and going on adventures, with either Jack or Will - who cares, at that point. At least for a couple years. But maybe I'm projecting my own feelings on her. Lol Anyway, thank you for this interesting conversation ! It was lovely to meet you. :)

[@vampirivirivampiriva]

This vid is perfect and lovely! Jack was so kind and fun with Elizabeth. Colours are very soft as the song. You put the best moments with j/e in the vid.

[@woodleonYT]

You worked your magic as usual :) Elizabeth+Jack was always so much better than Elizabeth+Will, but I guess it was too difficult to actually get them together (Jack was too wonky, completely illogical), Elizabeth+Will was a much easier option. As usual, music, colouring, are epic... and the sync! Good work :)
