Carmen Ohio

[ItsAlpacaMan]

sends chills through my body-GO BUCKS

[Boldorion1958]

A fine performance of one of America's great school songs. The tune, by the early American composer Benjamin Carr, is also used for the hymn "Come, Christians, Join to Sing."

By the way, I'm a fan of the USC Trojans.

[bellissimaitaliana]

Chimes are for Orton Hall which used to play the song every day at 5:00pm.

[xHaterofHatersx]

im curious

what do the bell tones in the beginning symbolize?

[BoeingBeatsAirbus]

@xHaterofHatersx .....bells.

[xHaterofHatersx]

@BoeingBeatsAirbus lol i expected something more complicated and/or related to the university...

[brn141]

@xHaterofHatersx They are supposed to be the bells from the Orton Hall bell tower.

[xHaterofHatersx]

@brn141 thank you lol. that's the kind of answer i've been looking for.

The MIGHTY Buckeyes through all the years. The teams, the coaches, THE band, the Horse Shoe, the thrill and excitement - It truly infects your blood and gives you a sensation few things can equal.

Born and raised in Columbus, went to OSU and many of the games. What fantastic memories! Buckeye football fan forever. GO BUCKS!!!



[doc3740]

[transformersfan300]

OSU IS GOIN TO THE ROSE BOWL!!!

[joe59788]

[tytykatzgrl]

this is my highschool's alma mater :D

[palominogrl78]

Brings a tear to my eye everytime! I remember hearing this song when I graduated from THE finest institution in the country.

[crucialconflict02]

oh yeah. truly a beautiful song. fitting for a great school and a great athletic program. GO BUCKEYES!

[vwstapleton]

O-H-I-O

[uifan89]

Best three alma maters all from the Big Ten: Illinois, Wisky, and OSU. I may be biased but Illinois' is still the best, even without the Chief. With him, no question. But I'm excited to go to the OSU/ILL game next year and finally see Script Ohio and Carmen Ohio.

[goonies24200]

Decent. Much better than Hark the Sound. Still take Varsity any day of the week over that. I like Michigan, Notre Dame, and Minnesota fight songs

[heavymetalrulz123]

That's you opinion. My opinion Hark the Sound=Carmen Ohio. Varsity>Hark the Sound and Carmen Ohio

[zzzztubezzzz]

Hmmmm.....

Which do you like better ?

Hark the Sound = Hail to Old IU = Cornell Alma Mater

Carmen Ohio = best.

[heavymetalrulz123]

It's really difficult to rank them, because I am a Badger fan(please don't give me any trouble for being one). UW has an alma mater that's pretty close, but I'd have to say Carmen is better than Hark the Sound, but both are songs that have the same effect, whether I like the teams, have anything to do the university or not.

[TeamKomedy2]

ohio cant be stopped go bucks -where amazing happens

[ACDCRULES7408]

GO BUCKS BEAT BLUE!!!!

[GLG47]

Big 10 has best schools, best traditions, best everything in my book and Carmen Ohio is way far and above any other alma mater anywhere. No one else even comes close. Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, wonderful comradarie - too bad this Michigan fan's team doesn't have something that good.

[Antweezywchs08]

GO BUCKS

[percussionist93]

this is my high schools alma mater song..

GO WEST DEPTFORD

[lvass115]

I always cry when I hear this song. Best Alma Matter ever!

[Bronwyn51]

I always cry too, I grew up on campus because my dad was a professer at OSU, and I knew coach hayes from the time I was born, and coach outlived my dad by just a few months( they were in the navy together during the war, and served on the same ship), and then both ended up at OSU. so every time I hear this I think of and miss dad and coach hayes, as I will miss them for the rest of my life

[brad3417]

Wow, that's very touching! I live in KY, but have a love for Columbus and OSU.

[EliteStarstruck]

So sad. I always get on the verge of tears. The tradition at OSU is just so great. Everyone is like a family to one another. I just love the school. Theres no other like it. Win or lose everyone stays to sing "Carmen Ohio" and i think thats amazing.

[292x1]

@Bronwyn51 Read your comments about Coach Hayes, your Late Father and the Ohio State Alma Mater, Carmen Ohio. I once saw in the movie Love Story a line which epitomizes my feeling for Ohio State: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." It's true of my feelings as a fan of Ohio State athletics, Coach Hayes and that great university. O-H-I-O! GO BUCKEYES

[midgetbeast31]

everytime i hear this song i start to cry and get all nervous!! best song ever!

[bbill315]

this is an awesome song, but I like illinois alma mater more

[stlfan44444]

Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise

And songs to Alma Mater raise

While our hearts rebounding thrill

With joy which death alone can still

Summer's heat or winter's cold

The seasons pass the years will roll

Time and change will surely (truly) show

How firm thy friendship ... O-HI-O!

[badgersean]

This truly is one of the best alma mater songs in the country along with Wisconsin's "Varsity" and Illinois' "Alma Mater."

[iammiktreichel]

Yes it is. Have you ever heard UNC's "Hark, the Sound?" That's up there too.

[mrniceguy96]

@badgersean Yeah, I gotta check out Ill since you're the second person who mentioned it here.

[Loopdydoopdy]

IM WATCHING THE GAME NOW GO BUCKS!!!

[thewhitesupremisist]

Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise

And songs to Alma Mater raise

While our hearts rebounding thrill

With joy which death alone can still

Summer's heat or winter's cold

The seasons pass the years will roll

Time and change will surely (truly) show

How firm thy friendship ... OHIO!
