We partnered with our dear friend, Troy Welstad to create a high-energy electronic remix of "oh darling" and the when we heard it for the first time, we were blown away! Tara said, "How is this even us? This is amazing!"
The high-energy electronic vibe was added by Troy Welstad, who has done all of MOUNTAINCITY's remixes to date.
Troy is a great guy, really fun to work with. He’s a total shredder. We’re really excited about the remix. It’s kind of like this electro-pop vibe.
Troy Welstad

MOUNTAINCITY and Electronic Music
"We both love EDM music. When Dave proposed to Tara June 13, 2003, we actually went to an EDM concert later that night - right after we got engaged. So it's part of our history. Dave had loved electronic music for a long time and when he introduced Tara to it, she really started loving it, too. So the reason we are doing the electronic remixes on many of our songs is that we just absolutely love it - we love dance music! It can be very happy and cause joy and it makes you want to get up and move," she said. We hope you enjoy this love song! :)
Lyrics:
Let’s go dream!
I was with another guy and when I saw you dear, it was love at first sight
You were with another girl and when I saw her dear, I knew she wasn’t your type!
You were meant for me, and I was meant for you!
Chorus 1:
Oh, darling, let’s go dream!
Go to the deepest places in the deep blue sea!
Oh, darling, let’s just go!
Head up to the mountains and we’ll bask in the sun’s glow!
Oh, darling, let’s fall in love!
Stop my heart from breaking, knowing you are the one for me!
Verse 2:
When we said “hello” and you shook my hand, I knew I’d never forget…
We didn’t like goodbye’s, we could talk all night, we were the best of friends!
You were meant for me, and I was meant for you!
Chorus 2:
Oh, darling, let’s go dream!
Go to the deepest places in the deep blue sea!
Oh, darling, let’s just go!
Head up to the mountains and we’ll bask in the sun’s glow!
Oh, darling, let’s fall in love!
Stop my heart from breaking, knowing you are the one for me!
Chorus 3:
Oh, darling, let’s go dream!
Go to the deepest places in the deep blue sea!
Oh, darling, let’s just go!
Head up to the mountains and we’ll bask in the sun’s glow!
Oh, darling, let’s go dream!
Go to the deepest places in the deep blue sea!
Oh, darling, let’s just go!
Head up to the mountains and we’ll bask in the sun’s glow!
Oh, darling, let’s go dream!
Go to the deepest places in the deep blue sea!
Oh, darling, let’s fall in love!
Stop my heart from breaking, knowing you are the one for me!
Outro:
Oh, darling, darling, let’s go!
Let’s go dream!
Oh, come away with me!
