Jason Paul performs “My Heart Stood Still,” written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1927. This American standard is part of the Great American Songbook and has been interpreted by countless performers since its Broadway debut in A Connecticut Yankee. This version was filmed on location at Chance Cove, Newfoundland, by Jason’s daughters, with a single camera and no post-production cuts. Jason Paul’s recording is part of his solo project reinterpreting early 20th-century public domain songs. Rather than reinventing the material, he brings a modern performer’s perspective to timeless compositions – aiming to connect listeners to classic repertoire through real, unvarnished performances. This take of “My Heart Stood Still” is one of several releases from Jason’s 2025 EP Come Explore With Me, a collection of standards that includes “Tea for Two,” “Stardust,” “Love Me or Leave Me,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Each song was selected from the public domain catalog of American popular music, and each performance is recorded and produced independently. As a family man and long-time independent musician, Jason’s approach to these recordings is grounded in simplicity and authenticity, letting the song structure and vocal performance carry the material without excessive embellishment.
