It's been a long time. A real long time.
- Damien Jurado
The song Ohio by Damien Jurado has been running through my head for the past few days. I originally heard it on a mixtape [^realmixtape] given to me by a friend of mine, I think because I didn't know who the Mountain Goats were[^goats]. It's an eclectic mix, but this song was one that really stood out.
It's a sad song. The first way this becomes apparent is the music, and especially the tempo. But there is also something haunting about the lyrics. I'm not precisely sure what it is that brings this out.
