The “oh, darling [REMIX]” was masterfully crafted by our Portland-dwelling friend, Troy Welstad, who is a creative force to be reckoned with! He ABSOLUTELY SLAYED this remix and we are SO THANKFUL!
As a twenty-something in Los Angeles Troy Welstad proved his skill and versatility as a musician, keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist touring the world with the likes of P!nk, Hilary Duff, A Fine Frenzy, Brooke Fraser, Ryan Cabrea and working with many other artists. Troy has backed artists on multiple television appearances including the American Music Awards, MTV music awards, Conan O’Brian Show, The Tonight Show, Ellen, Good Morning America and many more.
In 2011 Troy and his wife moved to Portland, OR wanting to focus his energy on writing, producing and working on some his own creative endeavors.
Troy has been busy producing, writing and recording in his Portland studio with talented artists including Y/S (yesesmusic.com), Josh Hoke (joshhoke.com), Olivia Pothoff, David Gaulton and many more. Troy also recently co-founded The Lab Pdx, a live art & music experience highlighting up and coming Portland talent with musicians such as JOSEPH, Mackintosh Braun, Josh Hoke and installation artists Adam and Rosalyn Rothstein (www.thelabpdx.com).
As a session keyboardist, sound designer and composer Troy's credits include Colbie Caillat, Daughtry, Kenny Rogers, Jim Brickman, Sleeping Wolf, Jess Penner (Kayjez), NIKE, Deidox Films and many others.
Verse 1:
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:
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!
