Carry Me , Ohio - Sun Kil Moon

[davedelbecq]

Yep, I'm back here again, meditating on this on this incredible song

[davedelbecq]

Ethereal?

[romoisabiyatch]

best CD cover ever? yeah.

[ynkrock7]

I need to give the Red House Painters another listen, this song is so beautiful

[Silverthunder100]

I was typing a report on microsoft word and listeniing to music, heron blue goes off so I click something random, which happened to be this. It took me 6 mins and 24 seconds longer than it should have to finish my report. Beautiful, beautiful music.

[1995yuda]

im in a dillema....i feel like crying and continue listenin' to this. OR stop this evanly song and smile for a bit.

any answer will be most welcome.

but for the minwhile...i just can't stop!

[oldsoul247]

For 6 minutes and 24 seconds you are free to escape into the world of wonder and magic

[1991stacy]

This is one of my favourite songs. The lyrics are incredibly beautiful.

[ekrebs66]

Great song and group.



[dgyllen]

Please come to nebraska...I've loved sun kil moon since 2007

[TadWGonzalez]

this song reminds me of all the mistakes ive made and all the ones im gonna make. fuck. im should turn it off! hahah

[TadWGonzalez]

just heard this song for the first time, burning through lovers, hmmm real.

[meanytunes]

Fantastic , beautiful Sun Kil Moon track, brilliant modern guitar music

[Gam3sp1ri7]

wow, I have no words for this.

[existentialistcat]

I think this is the saddest song in existence.

[nostalgicbadger]

Even if you're not from Ohio (I'm not, but I spent a good deal of time in the Pittsburgh area, which is close enough for most purposes), this era of Mark Kozelek's work is incredibly powerful. Not that the rest isn't.

[jmtley]

I grew up in Ohio. I always used to say I hate Ohio. I always wanted to get out. I went all over the United States, and no matter where I ended up I always felt a longing to go back to Ohio. I miss it so much. I thought moving to Austin, Texas would be different. Grass is always greener on the other side I guess and when you get on the other side, the side you were on was better all along.

[wilburiznasty]

The beat, guitar, and voice in this song is just beutiful, makes everything that much better.

[bananamancanbmc]

for some reason when ever i hear this song.... i just start to tear up. and i never cry. ever. it just gets to me on a level i dont even know.

[IWONDERABOUTPEOPLE]

I can attest to this, of all the places I've lived, I only ever returned to Ohio

[OldUnkieAl]

For my money, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[wesgawup]

@OldUnkieAl agree with that for sure.

[transonicbuoy1]

Just shows you can write about a whole piece of turf, and you get half a million hits. And a very average song. I followed this fella since 1993. Marvellous and gorgeous. But to get into perspective, this song is nothing like the work in 1993.

[HauntedSugar1225]

Im from Tennessee, but I moved to Ohio. Its not bad, by any means, specially North Canton and the more rural areas of Ohio are gorgeous, but there is no place like the South.

[EldScrollsIVfanatic]

I heard this song in the movie The Elephant In The Living Room. Check it out if you haven't seen it. It's a really powerful piece of film.

[Powder410w]

Ohio is beautiful, you faggots.

[Powder410w]

aye bros, u mirin' my aesthetics?

[MrAramantha]

I never used to listen to this music but now i do :)

[pinkfloydrule27]

Ghosts Of The Great Highway is just unspeakably beautiful. I'm completely addicted to Sun Kil Moon at the moment

[masterlowsferatu]

I have relatives in Ohio and have visted/explored it a couple of times - This song perfectly captures the sleepy hazy atmosphere. Beautiful.

[rongermanjr]

the drive from northeast kentucky into southwest ohio is one of the most scenic drives i've ever seen. great ride. great tune.

[untomatchi]

Too moody to be literal.

[Rulictar]

@untomatchi ? Too moody? It's a song, music is supposed to be this way.

[JamieGowan]

@knivesmusic. I am sorry but that made me laugh so hard. Hope it wasn't a very serious attack :S



[knivesmusic]

I got attacked in ohio while listening to this song

[MPRC1136]

Since I'm sitting in a hotel room in Ohio, I figured I'd listen tot his now.

[untomatchi]

i want to xperience Ohio, now. great fukin song, man.

[masterofpaint]

great song to drink IPA's to on home computer and shamelessly sing along like an ass

[Jrp2641]

I've made a lot of friends from all over the country and world. And almost everyone's initial thought about Ohio is that it's all farm land and nothingness. It generally changes once they come here and find out it's not. It really is difficult to get Ohio out of your mind once you're away. Maybe we Ohioans truly do learn to appreciate the little things life offers. It really is difficult to fully explain.

Anyyyyways, great song by a great band, hahaha

[1ravenor]

Ohio does tend to come out with amazing and underrated bands though (The National ftw). :)

[plasticwrapcharlie]

I've lived in Ohio my whole life. Excepting the 12 weeks I spent in Germany, that is. When I hear this song, I definitely feel like this song is a simple plea that Ohio will get me where I need to go. It's a cultural hellhole here in Northwest Ohio, and it has to be the people who make it. This place sucks, and I'm tired of it, but it's home, it will always be home, I will probably always love it, and it's where I'm at right now. I'm okay with that. For now.

[1ravenor]

@plasticwrapcharlie

You too huh? I feel ya on living where we do, it's pretty much a cultural void. I have to say though, either growing up here has made me insane or else I might be on to something, but it makes you appreciate a sparer, quieter existence.

[studio7manga]

@plasticwrapcharlie

I grew up in NW Ohio, just south of Toledo, then moved to Columbus when I was 18. I've lived in Southern California, Oklahoma, Huston, and now live in Seattle and I can say with all sincerity that the people don't get any better. I'm planning on moving back, at least to the lower great lakes cities if not Ohio.

[woobiehastelly]

None of the comments in this video make sense.

[ezox333]

I love this song =)

[spartan10010]

I love this song and band. It's very unique. This song is so great, and everyone will always love where they have grown up, because childhood and adolescence is the best time of everyone's lives. You're carefree, and everything is an adventure. I'll miss this feeling and my hometown if I ever move out.

[twirlyboggs]

as hypnotizing as so tonight that i might see.....

way special

[rebotco4]

i agree. the people have made every place ive ever lived in. and right now, ohio is not loving me so much. but ill be back one day....

[blackmanorigins]

 /watch?v=11AKhNwGEDo&feature=c­­hannel_video_title

[mangasdemanoid]

I actually didn't know about this band until after Gears of War 3. I thought it was just going to be another band that only has one good song. BOY was i wrong. All of their song are great, and they make you sit back and think for a while. I sit on my roof in the country and lay back and look up at the star while i play their songs.

[TheGeneralBurn]

This song reminds me of Raistlin Majere

[MultiSoundbox]

i was listening to this song while doing my homework at 3Pm and i realized that it was 9Pm

[Suzan2k]

Great song. It make me wanna cry. I have a weird feelings with this song.

I just don't know what it is that makes me loving this song..

[1995yuda]

@Suzan2k youll' figuer it out faster if you try to understand whats happaning in your gut....rather then your mind.

good luck.

[1995yuda]

lets see....i feel numb,yet excited,worthless yet happy from the inside....sad but accomplished.

it's like a....whats the word ummmm, i know like im on drugs,but im not,so i guess any song that make you FEEL like that.is simply put,A MASTERPIECE

[kerrgal]

@1995yuda I agree with you.

[1995yuda]

@glad you felt it too =)

[TheGeneralBurn]

This is the 1st comment in 6 days

[KOOLKELLY94]

@TheGeneralBurn and the first retarded person in six days too...

[arcnoria]

I'am turkish and I've visited OH. for 4 months. Now I'd like to visit OH. again so BAD! sweet corn, lake erie, cedar point, endless fields...

[Rulictar]

@arcnoria It's so beautiful there. Makes me cry everytime I think about how I'm away from home :(.

[TheGeneralBurn]

Thumbs up if you agree that this song needs more cheese

[TheCraneOfTruth]

Absolutely beautiful.

[drzagato]

@notlengthy WA! @TheGeneralBurn I'd be set for life if I could live in Marin County...

[TheGeneralBurn]

@drzagato we also have the best crops and 'crops'

[TheGeneralBurn]

i'm not carrying 18 people

[TheGeneralBurn]

The Daily Report with Jon Colbert is starting soon

[GearsGuides]

@TheGeneralBurn Steven Colbert?

[TheGeneralBurn]

@GearsGuides no

[drzagato]

Great tune! Washington is hard to beat though....

[notlengthy]

@drzagato State?

[TheGeneralBurn]

@drzagato California kicks Washington's ass!

[studio7manga]

@drzagato

Lived in both, prefer Ohio.

[stain12450]

Wow Thank you !! ..come to Toronto !

[Aleesh123]

@stain12450 Mark Kozelek did actually...on the 22nd of March.

[jenniferjjjx]

This song overwhelms me with melancholy feelings. I love Kozelek. If you like this song, you should check out ''Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home)'' by Ali Murray...

[nofrig]

I felt like this song was talking about the Ohio River rather than the state of Ohio. It could very well take place in my Louisville. :D

[kidnickles101]

free restart button i think i broke mines 0:00

[MrClydekewl]

@kidnickles101 thats not a button thats a link...idiot

[KhalidMuhijadeen]

@kidnickles101 u fagget it is impoosible to brake th restart button and ho whas going to pay for it anyway,,,idoit

[TheNarkissa282]

every time i listen to this song i either want to cry or go outside and start running in the rain.. and i never run!

[kimarithebluetiger]

I had great sex to this song :D

[EllysaE]

@kimarithebluetiger ... not a song for sex. Ew

[ronwe86]

i heard sun kill moon from gears of war theme song and it sounds so good.. so good that i got all the albums now.. thanks gears of war and youtube! XD

[TheFelix1137]

@ronwe86

(i also found this band from gears of war 3 XD amazing stuff)

[druming2013]

This song is really cool...I live in Ohio and its kinda boring now but after i leave i know im going to come back alot if i dont live here again

[cassschw]

My Dearest...

[XvXvX]

one of my favourite songs for sure. glad i just remembered it. in fact, i used to love it so much i put it on repeat endlessly. rare occurrence.

[ArrogantSpoon]

Ohio is a great place to grow up, if you're young it won't take you long to realize it. once you leave to travel, what have you, you'll understand it's the people that make the place almost always.. ;) people seem to find themselves wanting to come back later in life.

[nicholasleite]

@ArrogantSpoon Men you said everething and a little more. :D Please tumbs this guy up :D

[Rulictar]

@ArrogantSpoon So true man.

[gforsythe1]

@ArrogantSpoon I just moved to Brooklyn last month, mostly because so many of our Ohio friends are there now. People I haven't seen in years--since childhood even, now in a different place, have only found that our depth of love has only widened about having grown up in Ohio. It is one of the few places that regardless of where your happiness ends up, its roots will always keep your heart true and open.

[LanIost]

@ArrogantSpoon, yup. Underrated state. I know this because I've lived here for a long time.

Sounds like a farm town, generic state, to most people. And indeed, it does have plenty of farmland, just like any state. But seriously, Columbus is an AMAZING place to live. It's also a very safe place as there are NO natural disasters, no tornados, earthquakes, floods, anything really. Not the kind of spice that I miss in life.

Anyway, the only thing I hate is winter. Fuck it.

[1ravenor]

@ArrogantSpoon well if you have amazing people in your life you could be just about anywhere though.

[apocalypse123]

@ArrogantSpoon I live in Ohio and have lived in Ohio the majority of me life and it's a bit of a shithole to be honest.

[Rulictar]

@apocalypse123 Depends on what parts you live in. Down here in south ohio, it's beautiful, gives me a nostalgic effect, I just went to my grandmother's funeral today and I helped carry her casket, she chose to be buried in the cemetery next to where I used to live as a kid. When I die, I wanna re-live my young years back in Southern Ohio, where no one actually has hick accents and we play acoustics in the living room. North ohio sucks ass though, no offense.

[WolfOfMibu293]

@Rulictar no offense taken, I live in Austintown. It is a suburb of Youngstown and I absolutely hate it

[Rulictar]

@WolfOfMibu293 lol

[WolfOfMibu293]

@Rulictar It would be funny if it was just "bad," but it is bad. I've been shot at; and had Black Panthers, Crips, and Bloods threaten my life.

[Rulictar]

@WolfOfMibu293 Yea. Down here we just have serial killers. Though I'm not trying to sound funny when I say that. We don't have gang members as much as we have serial killers in general. lol

[pokkitmonzturr]

@apocalypse123

lol i live in cleveland dont bring up shitholes. i still love it tho.

[slashergnr482]

@ArrogantSpoon yeah thats true. and then i went to new hampshire and forgot all about ohio. makes ohio look like a dump.

[IAreChurch]

@ArrogantSpoon All we have is corn and politicians. What's so great about that?

[killerclown2031]

i love ohio its my birthplace and my casket!

[USERC18]

this reminds so much of heavy rain....

[marciobree]

I finally found it. I lost it accidentally and could not remember the title.

[Danfer38]

que buena banda.... excelente!!!, lo hacen sentir muy sensillo

[GrimlockCT]

I have literally listened to this song thousands if times..

[Amaglev]

I listen to this when walking around uni and it just makes my heart float through loveliness and beauty and I feel in touch with the sky again.

[phlips01]

I knew about the Red House Painters, who I love, and heard his voice on the pilot of Sons of Anarchy, and I thought, "I know this voice! " I looked it up and sure enough, it was Sun Kil Moon. I love this just as much, maybe more.

[redcommando1]

How lucky can one music lover be! I just discovered Red House Painters and that has brought me to his other act, this little gem. like winning the lotto with the bonus ball.

[Lewis1711]

I can't understand a word the guy is singing but he has a great voice:)

[jl416300]

Kozelek is a Masillon guy and he references "The Tuscarawas flows into

The Great Lake" so I assumed it was NE Ohio. But I'm interested in why the song led you to believe it was the southern part?

[Rulictar]

@jl416300 Well try to use comment replies for one. But I don't know. I just figured the song was more based around the freespace in ohio, most freespace in ohio is southern ohio. I really don't know, this song just reminds me of my old home.

[Rulictar]

Does this song make anyone else wanna cry?

[gtdias]

Beautiful-thank you for posting this track.

I particularly like the verses:

what about the sweetness we knew

what about what's good what's true

from those days

can't count to

all the lovers i've burned through

so why do i still burn for you

i can't say

[awad420]

i love this song ... p.s. everybody speaking on the fact that sun kil moon got attention from gears of war 3, all i have to say is your retarded and if you didnt know this is the lead singer of the red house painters who initially got main stream attention from the pile of shit movie "excess baggage" so hes no stranger to "selling out" no matter how "indie" mark kozelek is adored for being. i love the mofo anyway lol

[ourlucidream]

I live in Ohio. Songs like this make it awesome.

[jl416300]

This song is about a reflective honesty triggered by NE Ohio landscape; not the state itself. While we all experience a stream of consciousness brought upon by our memorable surroundings, only Kozelek can forge these thoughts into such a sublime and untouchable musical confession.

[Rulictar]

@jl416300 Not really NE but more southern part

[kimberlyn81]

This song is SO beautiful~

[fritztheraven2]

i dont know why people would dislike this song.... its beautiful

[SZA]

Dear M

so much memories with this song.

[weltenfremd]

Not only my ears hear this song.

My hole body does.

I realy like it.

[Neighborhoodbordness]

Every band bashes on Ohio, what can I say? It fucking sucks

[Dapetoria]

everytime i hear this song i always picture myself driving down a road at night jes me and the stars

[FullMetalSatomi]

The first song I heard by them was Heron Blue played on this Canadian radio station that we get in Michigan, so I looked up other songs by them and I fell in love. :)

[resedentevil4guy]

Their songs always long.

[10SimmsS43]

to anyone who doesn't like this, dig a hole and die in it.

[cdemoneya]

@10SimmsS43

and if we should find you in a hole, dead, we'll cover you up with this tune playing in the background..... :)

[beanepods]

Still beautiful.

[kztxrcvbnm]

never heard of them before this is actually kinda cool...

[cloudchaser07]

he sounds like christopher cross

[AlphaX1980]

the live version from lost verses album sounds very like springsteen

[pooplifez]

brilliant! like a modernized neil young really good 2 thumbs up

[bloodxalibi]

Oh, I think i can have this song on repeat all day. If not on youtube, then in my head. I think I've fallen in love.

[tyco1336]

@bloodxalibi This is nothing compared to there have you forgot?

[BigMeatyClawss]

I live in Ohio. It's actually decent when you want to raise a family. It is safe, secluded, and peaceful.

But extremely boring.

[plasticwrapcharlie]

@BigMeatyClawss that depends on where you're from, but agreed. I call it home, but I don't think I want to live here anymore.

[shottothestars]

there's something about this song and his voice that just hits a nerve for me. it's beautiful.

[kad4724]

@shottothestars his voice is haunting..in a good way

[nutforcub]

I am so into this song. It sort of sounds very Seattle-ish, or Santa Cruz -ish.

Loving it.

[ironbaby12]

15 of those who disliked this have beiber fever.

[sideshowkitten]

Wait, no Red House Painters in the suggestions?  Weird.

[TheGiantNoodle]

I want a sammich

[spicee3905]

i live in ohio, it sucks. but, this song is amazing

[iFamousZombie]

@spicee3905 Ditto to both of those!!

[slapadabass]

@spicee3905 I Live in Ohio and You Suck!

[BlackVirusxz]

@slapadabass Dude the only good thing in Ohio is Cedar Point, face it.

[xXGaaraGodXx]

@BlackVirusxz Who cares. Home is home to those who live.

[BlackVirusxz]

@xXGaaraGodXx Ya I realize that, but if you're visiting Ohio it's quite shit haha

[xplund]

@spicee3905 Most people think their hometown sucks. 

[lefty32]

@spicee3905 leave your basement every now and again.

[Rulictar]

@spicee3905 Doesn't suck too much down here, it's peaceful, but I guess if you are anti social like me, you would only like it then.

[Rulictar]

@spicee3905 You had to have lived in the country, poor to even understand how beautiful ohio can be.

[linkrl95]

@Rulictar ive been to every country in the us except alaska and hawaii and theres nothin like home

[Rulictar]

@linkrl95 That is so true.

[ktwheels09]

@linkrl95 state?

[jarjardinkey]

@linkrl95 Really? You've been to ever country in the US? Jealous...

[khailung11]

@spicee3905 I agree! We mooved from there to Saratoga NY!!!!!

[MrTestMusic]

@spicee3905 Haha, me too. God damn it.

[bigbomber2007]

@spicee3905 I live in Ohio, and it is amazing...

[billyboy434]

@spicee3905 Yeah, I've heard it smells really bad there. Any truth to that?

[joncmaxwell]

@billyboy434 ... sometimes. A lot of it is the farms. They of course spread their manure but then there's the lucky few who get to experience what the inside of a chicken coup smells like when they have em right next to the road with their vent fans blowing right at you. Also I live in a town with an oil processing company and if they spill, it smells like HARSH dirt. It's pretty rough. But it's rare.

[arvydas0069]

@spicee3905 Ohio doesn't suck if you have a family...if you are looking to go out and get drunk everynight and go clubbing, go to Vegas....if you are looking for affordable housing, a shitload of land in comparison to the rest of the country, 4 seasons, you're in the right place. I've lived all over the US and World....every place has its up and downs. When you're young and you haven't lived anywhere else, Ohio sucks cause you have no experience elsewhere

[schicka73]

Have only just started listening to these guys,really enjoying them

[IVIGIVIT]

13 people messed up trying to press the like button.

[TheChavil]

thanks for the suggestion youtube!

[ie6298]

Been listening to this album since it came out, minus the time between when I first heard one of the songs on a college radio station and when I finally heard it played and credited again after six months of religious listening. Defined my college years. Thanks for the music!

[chuchas217]

this is such a good song i like the letter =P

[designgray109]

this album has moved me for years now, never gets old . . .

[looneyr]

out the door... today feels like a mark kozelek day.

[ogreb28]

This song makes me think of the last cowboy! RDR style! I cannot attach a different image to this song.
