Here's the finalized version of the score "The Assassination of Henry William McCarty". This piece I decided to focus on the 1928 Steinway Legacy piano sound. I had been listening to a lot of Thomas Newman's work so everything from "The Road to Perdition" to "Cinderella Man" to even soundtracks like "A Beautiful Mind" by James Horner and "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis. Actually it was "The Assassination of Jesse James" that inspired me to write the music with that subtle tone and it was Thomas Newman's styling that helped develop this score. 

Anyway, as the title also entails, this is my submission for the 8Dio contest where you highlight one instrument of theirs in your score. So as I mentioned I picked the 1928 Steinway Legacy scoring piano for my main instrument. I wish I had the Adagio Strings because I know that would have enhanced my score WAY more but alas I'll have to work with my EWQL strings until then. 

Anyway, enjoy the piece and I'll have my other "A Farewell to the Infamous William Henry McCarty" piece finished soon. Share, Comment, Like.

This song never made it on an album, but since no one buys albums anymore, does it even matter?! I was trying to write a song for those moments that are too emotional to find words to describe.

‘Lost’
Written by: Jackie Leigh Schwartz

Straighten up; stand up tall
Honor is a graceless fall
I can hear the whistle blow

War is over, coming home
But my battle’s never gone
Landmines all around me

Lost in ways I can’t be found
Will she recognize me now
I’ve been gone for too long 

Blinded by those blood soaked nights
Try to wash it off my eyes
I’m never home when I’m home

Bombs are going off inside
I died a thousand deaths tonight
I still hear them falling down

Wake me up; shake me down
Nightmares come crashing down
I’m home but I’m so far gone

Place me in a state of race
Hang me out to try this taste
Chew me up and spit me out

Seize the bottle; seize the day
Chase the demons away
Always try to numb the pain

Lost in ways I can’t be found
Does she recognize me now?
I was gone for too long

Haunted by those love sick eyes
Pull me in your paradise
Maybe you can save me

Bombs are going off inside
I died a thousand deaths tonight
I still hear them falling down

Wake me up; shake me out
Nightmares come crashing down
I’m home but I’m so far gone

I can’t go home
I can’t go home
I push you away to hide the pain
I’ve got a death grip on what remains
A hero full of shame

Lost in ways I can’t be found 
Does she recognize me now?

Bombs are going off inside
I died a thousand deaths tonight
I still hear them falling down

Wake me up; shake me out
Nightmares come crashing down
I’m home but I’m so far gone

Bombs are going off inside
I died a thousand deaths tonight
I still hear them falling down

This is a little sneak preview of what my EP is going to sound like. I originally wrote it for a dance track, but got together with 2 friends of mine, Marek and Chris and transformed it into this jazzy song. 

Stephanie Jain - Nothing is Forever

This is a song Marek wrote and played, and this is my version of the vocals. I LOVE the guitar work on this song. 

Stephanie Jain ft Marek Homola - Perfection

My 1st TV/Film composition, while i'm here dying with the flu, I thought it would be to experiment with the orchestral genre :)

So I have discovered how lost I was in my own country, thinking that only musicians that love gospel and r&b and reggae live on this island Jamaica. After giving my life to Christ, I thought it was impossible to meet people who shared the same mellow and intimate style of music I had.

I met Jerome, an amazing guitarist and also a deejay who is ministering the Word of God who appreciates my style and was the one that helped me with this song.

You may think that things happen to you because of bad luck or maybe it is my time to shine. Instead of looking at it that way, God already knew what was going to happen to you, to make you that stronger person, to bring out the best because You were called to be great! GREAT!.

There are no accidents. "Collisions"? Those big things in your life? Like meeting someone that will change you for the better? Naaah Those things don't just happen. Thank The Lord for choosing you for his plan. 
Romans 8:28-30

New International Version (NIV)

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
