Week One Hundred and Seventy-Four: Nate Heller - "Run to the Mountain" - The Diary of a Teenage Girl

So I treated myself to the early showing of The Diary of a Teenage Girl at The Angelika.  I had seen previews for it when I recently went to the very same theater to watch the film, Amy, and it piqued my interest and seemed right up my alley.  I'll include the trailer for you now:

I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from the film, but it wasn't that... and by that, I mean a coming of age tale of pedophilia!  It wasn't a bad film.  There were some very touching moments (ha! and I don't mean that in a gross way!), but it was a little, ummmmm, different... I guess.

The soundtrack was fairly decent, but what really caught my attention was the tune that closed out the film and which also appears in the trailer.  I have recently been introduced to Bluegrass music, at the suggestion of a dear friend, and I've even added it to my Pandora mix.  So I've been listening to quite a few banjos lately, which is probably why today's tune caught my ear in such a manner.  Regardless, it's a sweet little song... so enjoy!

One, two, three

We can run to the mountains

We can sail the emerald sea

Drop a coin in every fountain

It comes true when I wake up

And I see you next to me

I gotta girl she's sweet as can be

All the other boys wanna be like me

And oh, isn't life sweet

Danny, isn't life sweet

Well I chased that girl around the Frisco Bay

Don't believe everything your mama say

And oh, isn't life weird

Danny, oh Danny

 We can run to the mountains

We can sail the emerald sea

Drop a coin in every fountain

It comes true when I wake up

And I see you next to me

 It comes true when I wake up

And I see you next to me

And I gotta girl she's sweet as can be

Sings like a bird, stings like a bee

And oh, isn't life sweet 

Danny, isn't life sweet

Well that girl chased me

And I ran away

Shoulda believed what your mama say

And oh, isn't life weird

Danny, isn't life weird, Danny

We can run to the mountains

We can sail the emerald sea

Drop a coin in every fountain

It comes true when I wake up

And I see you next to me

 It comes true when I wake up

And I see you next to me

It comes true when I wake up

And I see you next to me
