Lakeshore Records release Paul Grabowsky's score for Words and Pictures. In the movie Jack Marcus and Dina Delsanto both could - once - but now, the writer and artist each face a devastating struggle that challenges their ability to create. Having shown great promise as an author and poet, Jack is a charismatic English teacher at Croyden, an elite, New England prep school where he lives, breathes and speaks his love of language. The only problem is, he can’t actually write anymore. Dina is a gifted and acclaimed artist who hasn’t lost her muse. It’s her body that’s betrayed her: rheumatoid arthritis is limiting her physical ability to paint and literally taking the brushes out of her hands...

Paul Grabowsky's score for Words and Pictures contains 26 tracks (27 min, 03 sec) - quite a short soundtrack, but thankfully there's a lot of emotion crammed into such a small space.

Personal highlights include 'Exposed' and 'Motivation' (which include the same basic theme); 'A Kiss' and 'A Final Kiss' (which, likewise, are both built around another beautiful theme); and 'I Am A Small Poem'. Both the 'Vocal' and 'Instrumental' versions are included here.

Grabowsky delivers some incredible music here. And while the majority of tracks are forgettable, when he hits the right emotional spot he knocks it out of the park.
