00:13Everyone knows this iconic scene
00:15where we find Laurine Hill singing this gospel song
00:19And she sings it with Tania Blunt
00:22But there's something weird about it
00:23The film version, therefore the soundtrack version
00:27She is nowhere to be found.
00:28You can't find it on Apple Music, Deezer, or Spotify.
00:31You can't find it anywhere.
00:32For what ?
00:33First of all, "Is I, Is On The Sparrow" is a very old song.
00:36It was written in 1905 by Sibilia Di Martin, who wrote the lyrics.
00:39and Charles H. Gabriel, who composed the music for him
00:42Now, this song is in the public domain
00:45So you can use it however you want.
00:47You won't need to pay any copyright fees.
00:49So theoretically, everyone can sing it
00:51So why can't we stream it?
00:53Because the film version doesn't depend solely on the song
00:56It depends on the film recording
00:58It's all so complicated.
00:59This version belongs to the official soundtrack of Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit
01:04and which was produced by The Walt Disney Company
01:06And for a track to be available on Spotify or Apple Music
01:09All rights holders must authorize streaming
01:12So the real problem is that someone is blocking it.
01:14In this specific case, there are several layers of rights
01:171. The film
01:172. The soundtrack
01:19The interpreters
01:20And digital distribution licenses
01:22If a single license is not active
01:24The song automatically disappears from the platforms
01:27That's why we find other versions of As I Is On The Sparrow
01:30but not at all the original version of the streaming film
01:33Perhaps it's Aunt Laurine Hill who's blocking it
01:35Let me know in the comments if you knew that
01:36And most importantly, subscribe!
