Re: "The Official" Blue October Thread

I wish I could find the exact same performances that are off the disc but the closest I can come is find the more recent 2011 performances! I like this track originally off Foiled when hearing the live version! Here's the original and the live one!


X Amount of Words


Also the words about his bipolar are amazing :

Relapse
Prevent trigger intent
Now drown
High strung
Say X amount of words

You're solar, bipolar
Panic disorder
Seems harder and harder and harder
Still you try to control it

You mold, you mold
Yeah you shape to mold
Oh you're bold you're bold
But your shape is bold

You're a symptom superficial
To what they call knowing you
Minus the speed
Could you imagine the phobia?

Your brain is faulty wiring
The reason for tiring
Keep treating the curse
Imagine the worst
Systematic, sympathetic
Quite pathetic, apologetic, paramedic
Your heart is prosthetic

A plate of quite peculiar
On a dish of my own
A tablespoon of feather
Tickle me to the bone
Give me recipes for happy
With the chemicals gone
Drinking freedom from a bottle
To the tune of belong

I'm sick of shaking
Never waking
From the hell I achieve
I never knew you till you left me
With the crying disease

Another curing, reassuring
Way to buckle the knees
So mistreated, I repeated
Never blessing your sneeze

Now deleted and defeated
I will stand on my own
Yeah your memory that punches me
Has broken the bone

Give me recipes for sorry
I'm admitting I'm wrong
Still your memory that punches me
Has broken the bone

Come In Closer



The first born, my heart will call Truly
A God-like boy of the sky
The fog hissed away like a movie
And serpents go home for the night
The thundercloud rain hits the freeway
The clowns put on makeup for show
The nightfall, my skin crawl kind of evening
And how the wind she blows
How the wind she blows

(Chorus) I want you to come closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer, in closer

Come dancing with devils
Need not to know their names
We'll waltz like an army
For the fear of our pain
Our souls become useless
As the day they were born
In a rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm

But still, the truth remains lethal
A lie made by man
Where my shoes become hammers
And my words become sand
Like a sour patch, a wedding batch
Of roses you threw across my floor
In the rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm

A friend of mine saw these guys when they came to Seattle like...last year I think. I was never really a fan, but apparently they put on a great show.

They do! I've seen them! How deeply have you delved into these guys because I picture them as a band you'd get into P&C!

Honestly, not a whole lot. It's a combination of not really having the motivation, and...sort of forgetting. But I may pick up on them again sometime in the near future

Re: "The Official" Blue October Thread

Been listening to this one! It's amazing I can keep digging up or rediscovering tracks by these guys I like and can relate to in some way!

Let It Go


Where do you go
When the day is long?
And where does your heart beat
And who is wrong?

Why do I feel this way?
Why do I kneel?
How could I let it go?
Why do I feel?
Why do I feel?
Why?

Follow me home
Through the, the maze and on
I'll show you the road
That I led you the wrong way on

Why did I go that way?
Why do I steal?
How could I let her go?
Why do I feel?

Oh why did I go that way?
Why do I steal?
How could I let her go?
Why do I feel?
Why do I feel?
Why?

Why?
Why did I go that way?
Why do I need?
How could I let her go?
Why do I feel?

Oh why did I go that way?
How could I steal?
Oh how could I?
How could I?
How could I?

How could I?
How could I?

I LOVE the new single out for the upcoming album Any Man In America! What a beautiful song! These guys just get better!

Re: "The Official" Blue October Thread

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I see the sun go down on the river
I feel the wind blow out, would've stayed to gray
I feel the air around you, it's kinda closing in
Do you feel it fall, or do you feel at all, I can!

I see the world keep moving as I stumble
They seem to move much faster than me
And while I sit in my four cornered room dividing hearts for a little girl
Well I can't be anything but who I am

And I wish you'd stay
That was the beginning of the two of us, the start of our show
Stay, stay, stay...
Now I would never have let go

And I see the sun go up as your image
And I feel the weight of your eyes as you stare
I feel it all when you, when you first, when you kissed my lips
You used to make me feel at home, you made me feel at home, you made me
Feel again

Oh and that's when you use to say, "Will you stay, and not let go?"
That was just the two of us to think about, the stars of our show
And you would say, "I wish you'd stay and I'd never go"
Oh I would never have let go!

So take this heart of mine
You've taken it a hundred thousand times
But this time, this time, I'm gonna take it with me

I see the door close down behind you
I watch your face turn from glow to straight gray
I see the moon go up and it shines this glory on my face
Who would know? Who would know? Who would know?

How we would stay, and we should stay and never let go, oh hell no
There's just three of us to think about now, in our show, our show, our
Show
I think we'd stay, we'd just stay, and then we'd know
That we should never let go

Something to think about, her heart
Just look into those big brown eyes, and you'd just fall apart
We should stay, at least we'd stay, at least she'd know
That we should never let go
No, no, let go, go, oh...

I wish you'd stay
I wish you'd stay...


The above song is my current best song ever and I don't think i'll appreciate any other song better for this whole year! The level of emotion Justin Furstenfeld puts into that song and the way he tells the story is friggin' amazing. When I listen to that song and sing along it's like the world freezes and nothing else exists. It's so beautiful as sad of a song as it actually is and makes me feel good. Justin wrote it after separating from his wife which also involved the separation that he has from his daughter. A real piece of song art that comes from a real place. Songs like this don't come around everyday.

Oh me, oh my....that was quite the treat. I think if I stumbled across this album in Target or something on my way to the nicknacks I would have to pick it up on the strength of this single alone.

(Also, $20 says it won't be a hit....)

Re: "The Official" Blue October Thread

You are right Cosmic! There last album was awesome and it charted poorly! I'm just glad they are staying alive and making music I connect too!
