Lift my shirt up
Stand up straight at the foot of your love, I
Lift my shirt up
I was carried
To Ohio in a swarm of bees
I never married
But Ohio don't remember me
Lay my head on the hood of your car, I
Take it too far
Lay my head on the hood of your car, I
Take it too far
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a bloodbuzz, yes, I am
I'm on a bloodbuzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz, God, I am
I'm on a bloodbuzz
I was carried
To Ohio in a swarm of bees
I never married
But Ohio don't remember me
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a bloodbuzz, yes, I am
I'm on a bloodbuzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz, God, I am
I'm on a bloodbuzz

3] I saw Jackson Browne in concert in Ohio once.

Do you get bloodbusses in Ohio as well?
I had to look back 9 years to find a joke about being on a blood bus? I'm disappointed...
😄
i just asked a bunch of people at the grocery store, they said "I didn't suck"......could it be you?
Go to your local store and ask people....you may be surprised with the feedback
So witty you are
then the Dessner twins breakout
Maybe you suck

To me it is. Powerful, catchy tune and great drumming.
Over the Rhine even hates Ohio. If they liked Ohio, they'd be named Over the Muskigum.
Now, THAT'S cleverly funny.
This song is fantastic because it does what The National does so well- create an eerie, syncopated wash of foreboding, an unsettling cloud with a melodic hook to suck you in with a little broken lilt. The vocal style, the punishing overdetermined tonality--all works to great effect.
Maybe you suck
hey, that hurts
ready for this.........
maybe YOU SUCK too
So much negativity about Ohio. I grew up there. Yes, I wanted to leave and did. However, it is a beautiful state with a tremendous history.
Neil Armstrong is one small part of that history. He was born and learned to fly in Ohio. He managed to be the first human on the moon which was no small feat. It's not all bad.
Sure. Ohio is a great place to call home from a distance. I never lost a feel for the land and ecology. But in truth, Ohio is a great example of how our modern civilization can encounter something so rich in resources that the exploiters cannot appreciate except as something to use up. The previous inhabitants appear to have really understood how to live in that environment and to live within the limitations imposed by the climate and ecology. Then came the European-based Americans. So many industrial wastelands, toxic groundwater, blighted landscapes, etc. Davis-Besse nuclear plant (almost had a meltdown upwind from Cleveland) among the agricultural fields. I can only lament what could have been. And now the post-rational republican party has seized power (not won) and I have no idea what it's like to live there

There's a tenseness and a tightness to the song for sure. Propelled by the drumming mainly. I wouldn't call it a "negative vibe" though. It matches the lyrics which is something I like as a listener. A previous poster called it, "Dark and brooding." That's a pretty good description.
I'd call it mumbling while mixing quaaludes and alcohol
I performed as a stand up comic for about 9 years from late 80’s to late 90’s. Based in Boston, I’d go “on the road”. Places you wouldn’t go to for money. I always said that Ohio was the most dysfunctional state. Of course, The National hadn’t formed yet, so that might’ve effected my decision.
Have you met Oklahoma?
This band puts out such a low, negative energy vibe. So depressing, feels like they are circling the drain and want to take the audience with them. Obviously, I don't get it.

Yes, yes, but a delicious one.
I AGREE!
think I do too...but what's it actually about?
I AGREE!
this song sounds like a flat tire

Whoever doesn't like this song is probably a reckless driver that can't drive 55.
Over the Rhine even hates Ohio. If they liked Ohio, they'd be named Over the Muskigum.
Moronic comment. First, you have the river's name misspelled. Second, they are named after a neighborhood in Cincinnati. Double disqualification for this comment. Grammar what?
Devo is from Ohio...... mic drop.
Also The Pretenders, The Breeders, Nine Inch Nails, and Walk The Moon.
While I was glad to leave the state of my birth, there were some good bands/musicians to come out of Ohio - Pretenders, NIN, Boz Scaggs, Isley Brothers, Benjamin Orr from the Cars, Devo, Black Keys, Tracy Chapman, Kim Deal and the Breeders, Dave Grohl, the Cramps, Afghan wigs, Over the Rhine, Maynard Keenan from Tool, the Golden Palominos, and yes the National too.
And arguably the birth of the funk movement. Although RP doesn't play it, Dayton is home of da funk!
Is this playing on the wrong speed?
Just the singer.

Yeah, I'm getting the vibe that it's about to launch into INXS's "Don't Change".
Well caught. Tell Bill and maybe he'll do one of his masterful segues...

And my husband is from Ohio, so there's that ...
This is the first National tune I heard and I was an instant fan. Have continued to enjoy them - love the music and his vocals.
Maybe you suck
Perhaps he should blow! I feel sure we could come up with an RP-specific alternative to the acronym FIFO (and I'm not talking in the computing sense here!). If you know what you like, tune in to the appropriate station. If you want to hear anything and everything, have your noodle expanded and tastes challenged, then stick around... I enjoy the esoteric programming - and the esoteric intelligent comments, debates and exchange of views.
sometimes seems that way, does it not.
Crash Test Dummies and Pink Floyd mentioned in earlier comments but I'm veering towards 80s new romantic or offshoot

glad you said maybe
Oberlin College, my Alma Mater. The first college to integrate black and white students. The first college to be coed. A critical point on the underground railroad. Still pushing limits today.
Please don't leave out Antioch College, also an Ohio original. When it opened in 1848 (or thereabouts), also admitted women and black and white, and well, anyone who qualified. I had no intention of attending college in Ohio until the Antioch option appeared. Never had the Oberlin level of endowment, but was pathbreaking. Still alive also. Ohio has a lot of ordinariness and stultifying aspects, but considering the large native American population that thrived there before Europeans decided to exploit everything until virtually nothing was left, denigrating an entire state makes no sense.And yes, I left.
Baritone of voice does that (~_^) bit different timbre to the voices though

Okay, I will say something nice about Ohio: A few years ago Ohio raised the speed limit on I-75 from 65 to 70. That means I can spend even less time there when passing through.

As a kid I used to have to do car trips from Virginia to Missouri, the stretch through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois (eastern half) was unbearable. Nothing but corn and straight roads. Just mind-numbing caused by the bloodbuzz.
these guys suck

People who h8 want everyone to feel their pain. It's a hard life for them.

Unless you live there, this is a remarkably stupid statement. I suppose the anonymity of the comments section gives you the confidence to express this about yourself without any concern that anyone else will call you on it directly. I grew up there, could not wait to leave, and left ages ago, but your comment is ludicrous. Maybe your goal?

You realize you just described Rock and Roll, right?
yes!
Ha ha! But I like his voice.
His "singing" may leave much to be desired by some (especially since it now seems more like some hipster gimmick), but this song has a clear melody, as do most of their songs. You may not care for the melody, but it's definitely there.
Return To the Moon
Matt Berninger (lead singer of The National).
Brent Knopf (founding member of Ramona Falls and Menomena), Andy Stack (of Wye Oak) and Matt Sheehy (of Lost Lander).
I submitted it a while back... it was rejected immediately.
I love the quirky lyrics and the music of this song!
yes!
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice.
About 15 miles west of Cincinnati, Bloodbuzz is around Bridgetown and South Rds. and heading west out Bridgetown..
Some people call it Mack, some call it Miami Heights, some call it BFE. It's home to a lot of great people.
Yeah, I think he's been mixing his quaaludes with alcohol again.

thump thump, mumble mumble, thump thump, mumble mumble
and the singer is just to,...um, serious? gimmicky? in love with his voice?
he could take some lessons from Sivert Hoyem
thump thump, mumble mumble, thump thump, mumble mumble
It must be you.
Great segue William....Plastic Fantastic Lover to Bloodbuzz Ohio.
GENIUS (as is the choice of tunes)!!!
Amazing band.. amazing song...and that drumming..oof.
10/10
See, every time I hear this ham handed awkward pounding I think, "Oh geez. The National."
Hillbilly Bears!
I thought that when I first heard it too, thought WTF is this cover ;) I quite like it though.

Have you been to Bloodbuzz, OH? It really does make sense. Drive down Main St (both lights) and all you see are people with their heads on cars. Don't be so quick to judge.
And this improves this drone-O-saurus how?
