lifeblood: songs: backgrounds: if findlay, ohio 1968

album standout "findlay ohio 1968" - a highly referential song that tackles the public and the personal with equal zeal addressing everything from vietnam to particularly memorable family road trips - showcases these nostalgic elements best.

"i spent parts of summers as a child in findlay where my mother was born" saliers said. "ultimately the song is an exploration of budding sexuality tragedy wonderment and the clash of child and adult life. it is about a good girl but a fence-climbing girl full of anger and excitement entrapment and freedom."
