Joanna Sternberg has released a new song called ‘A Country Dance’. It’s featured prominently in Between the Temples, an upcoming film directed by Nathan Silver and starring Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane. Listen to it below.
Recorded in upstate New York by Alex Wenquest, ‘A Country Dance’ was inspired by Sternberg’s close friend Sami Bronowski, who was the first person to encourage them to sing in public. “The joke of the song is: I don’t dance, I don’t drink wine, I don’t go outside and I DEFINITELY do not go out in nature (allergies and insect phobias), but I wanted a playful nonsensical song to sing and to capture the fun I have with my dear pal,” Sternberg explained in a statement.
“I think the reason the song can fit in this beautiful film, is that it captures a freewheeling imaginative feeling,” they added. “The lyrics are vague enough to be applied to anything, and it just creates a ‘fun and fancy-free’ mood!”
‘A Country Dance’ is the third stand-alone since the release of Sternberg’s second album I’ve Got Me last year, following ‘Neighbors’ and ‘Without You’. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Joanna Sternberg.
