Stand up straight at the foot of your love, I
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

1] I hit a pheasant in Ohio while in a Lincoln.

3] I saw Jackson Browne in concert in Ohio once.
4] My aunt was an English teacher who lived in Ohio and was a great influence on me.
5] A good friend of my played bass for a late punk band in Ohio. His future wife used to come watch him.

Lyrics don’t need to make doorknobs wet spoons love.
This album came out 20 years after my brief stint in Ohio, but they sure echo my feelings about it masterfully with this song.

Just saw them at Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. A great show and found out that this song is about being drunk.

If I was being carried by a swarm of bees, I'd prefer that they didn't head to Ohio.
LOL. Bill just made the "thump thump" comment famous by relating it on air.
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.

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
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.

horrible song, horrible band.
Since this is off the album High Violet, Bill should follow this with the band High Violets.

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.

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.

Bill, thank you for making this song a part of my life.

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.

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.

The brothers from the National produced a dead cover album called day of the dead, definitely worth checking out, would be cool for Bill to play some tracks off that!

This band is growing on me, like their version of Morning Dew and The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness, even his voice sometimes sounds nice when he kicks up to a higher octave once in a while, guitarist is pretty inventive putting unique riffs in unusual places that are refreshing to my ears

As much as Bill likes The National... you'd think he'd like this from EL VY...
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!

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.

Is it just me, or does the beginning of this song sound like it was, let's say, "inspired" by Pink Floyd's - Momentary Lapse of Reason - Learning to Fly?

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
Hate to be negative, even slightly, but for me this definitely drops the ball after Jefferson Airplane's jammer; nice AS ballad next though

Good drumming, deep voice to get you past the strangled gonadical voice of David Byrne, all is good.

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?
