“I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)” by John Rzeznik

Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik wrote "I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)" for Disney's Treasure Planet in 2002 and released it under his own name. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker had already tried "Iris" as a stand-in on one scene, and Rzeznik seemed a natural fit for Jim, the film's hero, with his rebel-with-a-cause angst. He agreed: he said he felt a lot like Jim at that age, and the song draws loosely on his own years growing up in Buffalo, New York.

Rob Cavallo produced, Allen Sides recorded and Tom Lord-Alge mixed, with Chris Chaney on bass, Gary Novak on drums, Jamie Muhoberac on keyboards and Luis Conte on percussion behind Rzeznik's guitar and voice. It became a modest pop hit, and its video sets a young man against shifting scenery with Rzeznik beside him.
