A personal take on the timeless song “Stardust” – written by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Mitchell Parish (lyrics), performed by Jason Paul. This lyric video was filmed by my two daughters (ages 10 and 7) during a walk on the beach. It’s part of *Come Explore With Me*, a collection of American songs embodied with my own sensibility.

Jason Paul performs “Stardust,” composed by Hoagy Carmichael in 1927 with lyrics added by Mitchell Parish in 1929. This version is part of Jason’s ongoing solo project dedicated to interpreting public domain standards from the early 20th century – not through reinvention, but through grounded, present-day performance. First recorded as an instrumental by Carmichael, “Stardust” later became one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, performed by artists like Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Willie Nelson. Jason’s take keeps the original harmonic language intact while presenting the vocal line with clarity and restraint – aiming to reintroduce the song to modern listeners outside of jazz or nostalgic revival scenes. This release is included in Jason Paul’s 2025 EP Come Explore With Me, a set of American standards including “Tea for Two,” “Love Me or Leave Me,” “My Heart Stood Still,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Each recording is a contribution to a larger effort to bring renewed attention to public domain classics, rooted in the belief that these songs still speak to listeners when performed with care and focus.
