Dakota Skye

I've fallen in love. With a movie called Dakota Skye. With a soundtrack from said movie. And with a boy named Jonah . . . Jonah is sweet and cute and honest and deep and just everything sigh and wow, and where was he when I was 17? And he looks like this! And wears a beanie! And kisses girls in their kitchens. Seriously, where was he???

Beyond the fact that I loved the movie and the main characters, I also loved something else about it. It was filmed here, in Arizona, more specifically Scottsdale and therefor reminds me of Masen Days. There's seriously a scene that made me gasp because Jonah is sitting on a ledge at The Wedge. No joke. He's sitting there talking on the phone to Dakota. You can see it in the second movie clip. It's the actual Wedge skate park and not The Wedge which I described which is under the bridge. Either way, it's so cool. The movie really shows off Arizona -- with its sunsets and beautiful landscapes and even Hole in the Rock. This of course has me thinking Masen and why didn't he ever take Bella there. And now I want to write an outtake like now. Maybe I will. Don't hold your breath. Instead read the rest of this and go watch Dakota Skye! It's on Netflix right now!

Dakota Skye is about a girl who knows when people are lying. She hears the truth. Because of this she's become a bit apathetic to everything. Including her boyfriend Kevin -- whom she says she hates the least and whose looks don't make her want to vomit -- or something like that. Did I mention I'm in love with her too? I love Dakota. She's honest and mean and rude but wanting more and just determined that it will never come . . . until she meets Jonah -- Kevin's best friend. Dun dun duuuun!

The two are thrown together because he's in town to visit, and she gets to know him a bit. But more importantly, she gets to know that he doesn't lie. Ever. This is intriguing. And it becomes her mission to get him to lie. Which he won't. Because he's hot like that. I mean, I guess, I meant honest. Whatever. Same thing.

The friendship leads to being interested in each other which leads to boy-like, sighing while I'm watching, confessions of "like" and then the dream begins . . .

More Music Links: Did You Mean Even One? If I Wanted To

There's a song that plays while Jonah and Dakota are in his car. It's beautiful. I have no idea what song it is, and it's none of the ones posted on IMBD. Arg!  These are the lyrics:

If you have just one, let me be that love
If you have lots of others, please let me be
Please let me be one
Let me be one
If you like undressing, please let me find
Out
If you like large intestines, please let me
Find
Please please please let me find out
Let me find out
If you're gone for weeks on end in crazy
Situations and don't know why you drive
Through cars in dirty foreign towns
Please let me find out
If you shield your eyes
For glory ever the time
And drag your mouth to smile
If sickness is your cover
I'll try not to look down
I'll try not to look down
For if you're sick of cradling
And dragging all my injuries
You can just say fuck right off
It's better than not knowing
Or if you're just as scared as me
If that's what it's about
Please let me find out

I found it! It's called Crush on Everyone by Onelinedrawing. Just listen; the video is crazy. Enjoy!
