Henry has enjoyed a successful and eclectic career in music that ranges from the chart topping to the esoteric, and combines a varied palette of skills from string orchestration to beat programming, sampling and sound design, production and mixing. After 8 years of collaboration with other artists and their music, Henry is now focusing on his own material and scoring music for movies.
Utopia, published by West One Music, is a combination of Latvian choirs, innovative Electronica and cutting edge production. Transfiguration, published by KPM Music, was written, programmed, arranged, engineered, mixed and produced by Henry and completed in 2005. Transfiguration combines classical textures and melodies with 21st century production techniques and Henry’s own lyrics. Acoustica, also published by KPM Music, has just been completed in collaboration with the award-winning guitarist and songwriter, Augustus Isadore.
Prior to working on Utopia, Transfiguration and Acoustica, Henry’s work within the music industry has been varied and high profile. His programming credits include Mike Oldfield, Marc Almond, Coolio, and Kirsty McColl. He collaborated with Andy Gardner (of Plump DJ’s fame) to produce a series of Dance Remixes that topped the dance charts and were selected for Pete Tong’s Essential Selection (Radio 1), for artists like Kele le Roc and Boyzone. At the same time he worked with Michael Gordon, a New York-based minimalist string composer, on his composition - Weather- for Coalition Records.
Not long afterwards, Henry was working with the legendary Trevor Horn, programming and executing string arrangements for the title track of 20th Cent Fox’s film Anastasia, featuring Richard Marx and Donna Lewis on the song In the Beginning. He also co-produced Born On A Sunday with Trevor Horn on the Art of Noise album The Seduction of Claude Debussy. Meanwhile, he quietly produced some unashamed pop with the likes of Gary Barlow from Take That (which reached no.3 in the UK charts) and Justin.
Collaboration with internationally acclaimed Seal was shortly to follow as they worked together to write and produce This Could Be Heaven for the motion picture The Family Man, which starred Nicholas Cage. As well as production work, Henry continues to write his own music - which is used on CNN News, the BBC, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Discovery Channel.
Henry is currently making great strides into the film world. As of January 2006, he has completed 4 movies with the world-renowned composer - Hans Zimmer – contributing as an additional composer and performer:
The Da Vinci Code [dir: Ron Howard],
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest [dir: Gore Verbinski]
The Holiday [dir: Nancy Meyers].
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End [dir: Gore Verbinski]
Zero
Henry Jackman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find a little bit of steady as I get close
Find a balance in the middle of the chaos
Send me low, send me high, send me never demigod
I remember walking in the cold of November
Hoping that I make it to the end of December
27 years and the end of my mind
But holding to the thought of another time
Looking for the path of the young and lonely
I don't want to hear about what to do
I don’t want to do it just to do it for you
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel
Like I’m empty and there's nothing really real, real
I'm looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real
I'm looking for a way out
I find it hard to tell you how I want to run away
I understand it always makes you feel a certain way
I find a balance in the middle of the chaos
Send me up, send me down, send me never demigod
I remember walkin’ in the heat of the summer
Wide-eyed one with a mind full of wonder
27 years and I’ve nothing to show
Falling from the doves to the dark of the crow
Looking to the ways of the ones before me
Looking for the path of the young and lonely
I don't want to hear about what to do, no
I don’t want to do it just to do it for you
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel
Like I'm empty and there’s nothing really real, real
I'm looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real
I'm looking for a way out
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout it
Maybe you're the same as me
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout it
They say the truth will set you free
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel
Like I'm empty and there's nothing really real, real
I'm looking for a way out
Hello, hello
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real

The lyrics of Zero by Henry Jackman hint at feelings of loneliness, emptiness, and the search for identity. The vocalist explains how they find it hard to express themselves and try to maintain a balance among the chaos of emotions. They remember walking in the cold of November and hoping to make it to December, which could signify a difficult period in their life. The line "27 years and the end of my mind" could indicate either their age or the age of someone close to them. Regardless, it appears to be a painful memory.
The chorus of the song sends a message of despair and the constant search for a way out. The vocalist says that they want to tell the listener what it's like to be a zero and not feel like they're good enough for anything real. They are looking for an escape and want to show the listener what it feels like always to feel empty and have nothing to show for it.
In the second verse, the vocalist states that they find it hard to tell others how they want to run away. They also remembered walking in the heat of the summer, and with wide-eyes, they had a mind full of wonder. But, now after 27 years, they've fallen from the doves to the dark of the crow. The line "falling from the doves to the dark of the crow" could signify the loss of hope and joy in life. They are still looking for a path in life, one that might help them feel like they belong.
In conclusion, "Zero" by Henry Jackman is a poignant song. The lyrics depict the struggles of a person who feels lost and alone. The vocalist, through their words, seeks to reach out to those who might be feeling similar to them and to let them know that they're not alone.

I find it hard to say the things I want to say the most
It's difficult for me to express my deepest thoughts and feelings
Find a little bit of steady as I get close
I strive to maintain a sense of calm as I approach difficult situations
Find a balance in the middle of the chaos
I seek to find equilibrium amidst the turmoil and confusion
Send me low, send me high, send me never demigod
I am willing to experience the highs and lows of life and do not desire to be treated like a god
I remember walking in the cold of November
I recall trudging through the chilly weather of November
Hoping that I make it to the end of December
I had hopes of making it through to the end of December
27 years and the end of my mind
At the age of 27, I felt mentally overwhelmed
But holding to the thought of another time
Despite feeling overwhelmed, I try to focus on memories and hopes for the future
But looking to the ways at the ones before me
I seek inspiration from those who came before me
Looking for the path of the young and lonely
I search for direction as a young and isolated individual
I don't want to hear about what to do
I do not want to be told what to do
I don’t want to do it just to do it for you
I do not want to take action solely to please or appease others
Hello, hello

Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero
Allow me to describe what it's like to feel worthless
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel
Let me demonstrate what it's like to constantly feel empty
Like I’m empty and there's nothing really real, real
I feel like a shell of a person and nothing in life feels genuine
I'm looking for a way out
I'm seeking an escape from my current emotional state
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel
Let me display what it's like to never truly experience emotions
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real
I feel like I am inadequate for anything that's authentic or meaningful
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout it
Allow me to elaborate on my experiences
Maybe you're the same as me
Perhaps you can relate to what I'm going through
They say the truth will set you free
It's believed that honesty about one's struggles can lead to freedom and healing

Wow.
What a hidden gem.
I didnt really care for the movie, but this song means SO much to me on a personal level.
There are a lot of songs out there about pure happiness, like being with the one you love. On the other side of it, you got songs about depression and loneliness.
But life ISNT always just either saddening or joyous, theres a melancholic middle ground, and this song is IT.
Its about the stage in one's life where theyre not depressed but still feel useless and without fulfillment. You can have some friends and a game that you love to play, but eventually that game will get old and your friends will grow up with you. You want more, but youre so stuck in the same place, afraid to ever advance in life.
Thats what being a zero is like, and this song is so perfect at describing it

Find a little bit of steady as I get close
Find a balance in the middle of the chaos
Send me low, send me high, send me never demigod
I remember walking in the cold of November
Hoping that I make it to the end of December
Twenty-seven years and the end on my mind

Maybe it’s just me but does anyone notice how this song connects more with the first Wreck it Ralph? Ralph was looking for a way out of his game and was a Zero. In Ralph breaks the internet, he leaves vanellope and and wonders when he will be able to do it again with her, connecting to the song by Owl City which was made for the first film!
