The Low Anthem - To Ohio [HQ]

[stuffiestjoint]

this does not look and remind me of this ohio he speaks of, im from ohio and it sucks

[thedave108]

Nice song - if you like or miss Ohio. I've only seen it from the highway and it didn't look nuttin like this sounds....But you gotta write about something, right?

[brelfan]

Ohio is flat with chain restaurant steak houses. The end. Never missed it a moment in my life.

[evilthesaurus]

ohio sounds like a woman....

[roseartlefty]

"FANTASTICO!"

[berryhed]

i do very much like this song, tune!

[evilthesaurus]

I just love this. Plain and Simple

[reeceJyoung]

they sound even better live

[severevoid]

fucking brilliant!!!!

[forever182x]

seeing these guys at wilderness festival this weekend :D!

[WhoaThereMama]

thanks for this, Emmylou Harris :)

[JeremyxFisher]

Oh, It's a photo collage. :| I thought it was going to be a music video.

[megaladon1926]

I hope one day to visit Ohio. Possibly even live there.

[namedULaika]

@megaladon1926 and most people who do live in Ohio are hoping to get out :)

[megaladon1926]

@namedULaika Haha that seems to be the case for most people. I'm a huge Buckeye fan and like to make a trip to one of the games.

[namedULaika]

@megaladon1926 :D You know, I go to Ohio State, but I've still never been to a game.

[greenfield99]

Gently beautiful, softly lyrical music; thank you.

[lobsterharmonica5]

I'm moving back to the great state of Ohio in a couple days, good bye south Texas.

[Coleman524]

Now Hilda,she was your bog standard old woman

[rossbigradiohead]

@melas169226 He linked us to it in his blog.

[Eggdumpty]

This song is gently washing my hangover away

[fecklessmovies]

Mention of Ricky Gervais has put me off a bit, but the music is nice !

[emofestjazz]

I used to live in Ohio...and hated it....but now that I look back on it, I miss all those memories and that place :/

[Saeedster]

amazing tune.

dose anyone know some more artists similar to these guys?

[surfer390111]

@Saeedster Dawes, City of Colour Delta Spirit and Deer Tick

[menchjor18]

@Saeedster matthew and the atlas, they are pretty good.

[Dronmsk]

[tomgoulding16]

She boiled her brain.

[bluey1981]

It looked like a split tennis ball.

[jyosten]

Play a record.

[evert72]

Pretty cool track. May have to check this band out further..

Just wondering though "if..if it's all about arse, why don't gays like a little bit of tit?"

[bigsnak12]

"We're surrounded by water, why are we eatin' knob?"

[DisturbedRetards]

[NelisInfra25]

Stay green. Stay safe. Stay in the woods.

[7ali7]

[caytonxavier]

[RogueNL]

Everybody sat and watched one of the local cats lick its bollocks.

[TheMark6969]

[scottc9100]

What dyu call them things from Gremlins?

[TheJDorian]

whether its a potato or a nut, its a foodage

[cutes22]

Gervais don't give up your blog. You're the only "celeb" that is normal. Fuck the press. Please lick Karl for me.

[skilledtrailers]

Gervais and I have diverging tastes in music.

[pilkie92]

'it all started when i put sausages in the toaster'

[mizzcullen2009]

Another good one, Ricky....keep them coming! : )

[ItsameAlex]

@mizzcullen2009

search ''ocean- john butler trio'' (watch/listen to) the short 5 minute version

and ''joh petrucci- glasgow kiss''

and tell me if they're good tunes.

[jackgb137]

[NeoDragoN7676]

He had a look of frightenedness.

[1234doawee]

Could the world fall?

[humby123]

we're just a weed, in the universe.

[tomgoulding16]

Here's man. Here's woman. Here's a cat. Here's a dog. Here's an octop-'ANG ON A MINUTE

[DisturbedRetards]

i bet ricky looks on these comments and people bein fanatic about him and thinks *i wonder what karl would have to say about this* i know i do

[kiwimci]

They used to say pull your trousers up, now they're sayin pull em down ya cunt!

Woo I've a song that's on Ricky's ipod too!

[shanustheanus]

If you liked this song, why not check out 'Deadmans Gun' by Ashtar Command. It features on the game Red Dead Redemption, and has a similar feel. At first I didn't like the song

I just recommended, but after a couple of listens it has majorly grown on me.

[lozakyn]

Oooh, Chimpanzee that, he's only gone and written it down, CUNT.

[DisturbedRetards]

round headed manc little northern chimp with a head like a fucking orange! SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE RICKY!

[DisturbedRetards]

thankyou ricky gervais

[lozakyn]

Anne Frank; Basically just a squatter with a diary.

[DisturbedRetards]

@lozakyn terrible book, abrupt ending and no sequal

[kiwimci]

@DisturbedRetards Lazy!

[DisturbedRetards]

@kiwimci haha ricky gervais joke!

[lozakyn]

I'd kick it, and say "You knob'ead."

[nevlfc]

Why didn't he just look both ways?

[takeabow1]

I can honestly say it was the worst thing i've ever had to do. ....(Karl going to the Baftas) haha

[zeppelinrock977]

round.headed.twat

[KizerKevin]

Like how a seal is a cross between a fish and a dog.

[th3magicnumber]

It would be spiteful

To put a jellyfish

In a trifle

[occidionis]

If you can't look a knob in the face there's something wrong with you.

[GranatB934]

You're not forced an egg.

[DirtyDowntownFilm]

To be perfectly "Anne Frank".

[startingforever]

Ooh... Chimpanzee that...

[Goorisify]

I'll just be forever on Google..

[trisoutlaw86]

GERVAIS IS THE MAN (capitals for shouting effect)

[MizzOMA]

Germ, fish, mermaid, man. Also, nice tune, very pretty song.

[ErniePi]

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

[ItsameAlex]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs

[purplenurps]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs ok well done

[FaisalLasiaf1]

What are those things in Gremlins called?

[212melc]

"You don't see that many disappointed blind people."

[readchomsky]

Life changing music.

[rujocat]

silence and strings



[swamigoreng]

best ever!

[brelfan]

Part of what I love about this song is that these folks are going to Ohio. Somewhere completely plain and uninteresting. The goal is to get to Ohio. Some will make it and some won't.

[kmtrainer]

@brelfan have you even ever been to Ohio? I've lived here my whole life (39 yrs.). It's not bad. Parts of it are very pretty.

[brelfan]

@brelfan Went to college there. There was Toledo. You could get some chocolate and falafel. The one interesting thing about Ohio is that some Jewish guy accepting payola 50 or 60 year ago was the first to play Rock N Roll on radio listened to by white people. Other than that, steak houses. Flat grounds. You coud get Greek food if you went to Michigan.

[brelfan]

Lovely.

[OmgItsMeTeeHeeXDx3]

Just saw them last night with Iron and Wine.

Needless to say, they're my new favorite group.

[higzyguitarist]

They're coming to my town with Iron and W

ine in april! im so excited!

[gavrisr]

Cause once you've known love you don't know how to find love,

Yeah once you've found love you don't know how to find new love

Human nature interpretation at its best

[batmanbeer]

Such a beautiful song.

[gunthaarz]

I pledge to buy this album CD and not to dload it from the internets ;) Support the smaller bands! ( although I'll bet these guys can reach far, if they haven't already :) Amazing harmonies.

[brelfan]

@gunthaarz I think you're right. We have to stand up for the few making real music. I'll buy Oh, My God, Charlie Darwin. Going to buy O Ye Devesator from Doug Burr. Going to buy a Josh Ritter album. Going to buy an old album from an Irish folks singer called Paul Brady. And one more, I'm forgetting. Point is, only a few seem to take music and lyrics seriously, and they've got to make a few bucks too.

[ZenBarracuda]

I saw The Low Anthem at the End of the Road festival in England. God, they were brilliant.

[SovietPoster]

WildLifePhotographers on Last.Fm.

[MsCollydog]

brings back the radical 60's - good memories and great music

[fendermac]

Nice!...Like a deep-chilled bonus track from Copperhead Road.No bad thing that.

[rockitbot]

sweet.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

so beautiful..... my dear friend shared Cage The Songbird with me. an amazing band that is pure and simple - sweet to the ears and heart!!! thank you, for uploading this toodrunktodream. marvelous! 10*

[KinHem1370]

Excellent song. Simple and beautiful.

[andy3576]

So gorgeous.  Thank you The Low Anthem. :)

[douglasryanadams]

Where did the photo in the Cleveland RTA come from? I took one just like it 5 years ago, not saying it's mine - just stopped me in my tracks.

Groovy song.

[toodrunktodream]

Hey, DRA. I don't recall where the photo came from exactly, but I think I pulled it off of Flickr. I'm usually careful about licenses, so if its your's and I overstepped my bounds, please, let me know!

[thepdw]

@toodrunktodream I'm not even involved in this and I'm about to sue you for millions of dollars!

[xADayWellWastedx]

@toodrunktodream I love your user name, are you a Magnetic Fields fan?

[toodrunktodream]

@xADayWellWastedx Yes I am. But I took it from a Whiskeytown song.

[ThePrimdolly]

Please come back to Minnesota!!

[HattyMarris]

These guys are amazing. Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is one of the best pieces of music i have ever bought.

I'm not sure about in America but they don't get anywhere near the amount of praise they deserve in the UK

[fourwaysunshine]

Saw These guys open for Avett Bros. Sunday night..they were great.

[RedPillLondon]

Quality!

[Onlyone50]

reminds me of some beatiful Nickel Creek songs. Love it. Found this because Perpetual Groove opened their set in Columbus last night with an acoustic version

[quaich14]

love this album and this lovely song that is so beautifully sad.....

[liveleakman]

a city in ohio was voted to be the best place to raise kids. I live in that city

[Onlyone50]

[liveleakman]

a tall, overweight, guy spending money on video games and lego sets

[Eoinposse]

[mickey71406]

They sang Charlie Darwin on Letterman.

[TRSROXX]

OMG dont shoot the crow's fly with them.

[SouthernBelleSmiles]

"Cause once you've known love; you dont know how to find love..."

[russellyb]

Just got back from their gig at the Tabernacle in London. Blown away. This band is stunning live, go see them. Now!!

[lazlowithguitar]

[jeffersonnunn]

a friend of mine has a limited edition copy of this album - i stole it for six months and had it in my car by mistake. silk screen printed artwork and all... didn't even bother to listen to it until last month. cracking stuff - wasted a good six months of my life there eh?

[beeklaan00]

ohio , girls from ohio  send a message to me:$.

[sonotohiodog]

[coolanddark]

Incredible song! Heard it on Public radio and had to go looking for it. Thanks for posting!!!

[thisismyhappening]

Blogged the video w/ current tour dates. Thanks for posting / allowing embedding.

[eckmacdonald]

freaking gorgeous

[jimbob1225]

So lovely!

[TheWaterLover]

Drats! I wish I'd read that this was a freebie on iTunes last month!

It is lovely...reminds me of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young...contemporary folk music, and that is a compliment. It is reflective w/o being morose.

[forkday]

freakin amazing... this is soo beautiful, man, it's awesome...

[russellyb]

Totally agree, I haven't stopped listening since hearing it on the radio yesterday. Such a great sound, reminds me of Surfjan Stevens.

[boghopper04]

What a song. Cant stop listening to this since i heard it on the radio a couple weeks ago. Great sound

yeah being championed on Radio1 in UK by Jo Whiley just now - makes me want to travel and forget about all the rubbish and lack of work I'm facing in the recession. Ah for the simple life!
