2003 : 36 "Farewell Transmission" by Songs: Ohia

---

Long dark blues Will of the wisp Long dark blues Will of the wisp (The big star is falling) Long dark blues Will of the wisp The big star is falling Long dark blues Through the static and distance Long dark blues A farewell transmission I am not sure what I can say about Jason Molina, Songs: Ohia, and Magnolia Electric Co. I love that the song "Farewell Transmission" is on the last Songs: Ohia album. I think it is a great statement to make as an artist. It is a great song to start off an album with. With that said: all of the members of Songs: Ohia went on to be members of Magnolia Electric Co., so I am not sure that this was much of a final album. Yes, Magnolia Electric Co. went a different musical direction than Songs: Ohia, but that does not mean the name needed to change. I love that this song is over seven minutes long and feels epic. I can forget that I am listening to the same song. The vocals, guitar and drums are just straight head. I think it pulls on that line between alt.country and rock. It is one of those songs I keep going back to. —Rich Thomas Listen: Songs: Ohia >> "Farewell Transmission"
