Cover art for Ohio lyrics by Damien Jurado

being from the buckeye state, this song naturally pulls on my heart-strings by default. recently, it especially hits home. i have a twin sister that moved to england a few years ago and whenever i hear it, it reminds me of how much she struggled during the first year she was there and how much she really does "belong to her mother and the state of ohio". it conveys so much emotion and incredible longing.

the version of this on the "daytrotter sessons" is just absolutely haunting.
