sorry that i could never love you back i could never care enough in these last days
her tears fell on her pages found me out on her words i don't know what to do or say
wading through warm canals and pools clear blue Tuscarawas flow into the great lake
riding back where the highway met dead end tracks the ground is now cement and glass so far away
heal her soul and carry her my angel ohio
green green youth 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
sorry that i could never love you back i could never care enough in these last days
heal her soul carry her my angel ohio
children blessed gather round the home she will rest so poor and cold in their midwest moon and sun
flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storms the touch of mist felt soft felt warm on my face
graving dreams a million miles ago you seem the star that i just don't see anymore
words long gone lost on journeys we walked on lost her voice is heard along the way
sorry for never going by your door never feeling love like that anymore
heal her soul carry her my angel ohio

I just picked this album up a couple weeks ago. I love the work he did with Modest Mouse's songs on Tiny Cities. I just had to hear some of his stuff.
My Trusted MOGs
Ha, you're probably the first person I've heard of who's liked Tiny Cities... You know Red House Painters?
My Trusted MOGs
Well, I really like Modest Mouse, and I like his interpretation of them. I know who RHP are, and I know he's from the band, but I've never listened to any of their stuff. Is it similar?
My Trusted MOGs
Yeah I'd say it's similar - I only have one Red House Painters Album - Songs For A Blue Guitar - but it's Mark Kozelek on vocals, some songs written by him and some covers. One of these days I need to listen to Tiny Cities... I've only read reviews, and most of those aren't very positive. But then, many of my most favorite albums get bad reviews.

Amber pointed me to Tiny Cities when we were talking about Modest Mouse one day. I think she made a good point about how you can the lyrics shine more in the versions that are on Tiny Cities. If you like Modest Mouse and have an open mind about a different interpretation of their songs, I'd recommend it. I'm not generally one for covers, but TC is a good album. Amber's a MM fan too, and she loves the album. I'll make it a point of checking out RHP after I get through the SKM album I got.

i was just listening to this play in at uni... and i would probably apreciate the hell out of it if i was an american, or have actually been to ohio or those kinds of places that makes people make songs like this.
i havnt, but i still adore it. his voice is ...
My Trusted MOGs
Zeroskilz, I'll definitely give Tiny Cities a listen, someday. I do like Modest Mouse. And I like Mark Kozelek, so I'll probably like Tiny Cities. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Alex P, I've never been to Ohio either, but I don't think that matters. In fact, if I had, it might ruin it - I haven't heard many good things about Ohio.
