Blue October Single Releases


     2020 is a busy year for Blue October, despite the interruption of the band’s tour. Their documentary, “Get Back Up,” is nearing its date for distribution. The documentary covers the band’s successful launch, the all-too-soon return to earth, and frontman Justin Furstenfeld’s struggles with mental health, drugs, and thoughts of suicide. Now, Blue October is focused on a September release of the album “This is What I Live For.”
     Justin Furstenfeld says of the album’s title track, “This song saved my life; this song is everything to me.”  


Lyrics of “This is What I Live For”
It's what I live for
Falling on top of my head
Caught in a landslide
(Tumbling down again)

Part of me just dies
Peeling me out of my skin
Caught in a landslide
(Falling down again)

This is what I live for
This is what I live for
(Falling down again)

I'll never look back
Over my shoulder again
It's what I live for
(Falling down again)

Part of me just dies
Peeling me out of my skin
Caught in a landslide
(Falling down again)

This is what I live for
This is what I live for
(Falling down again)

I have to find a way
To make sure that you're okay
But no one answers me

I walk around
This lonely city

I walk around this lonely city
To make sure that you're okay
But no one answers me
Cause no one hears at all

This is what I live for
This is what I live for
(Falling down again)

This is what I live for
This is what I live for
(Falling down again)

I'll never let go

This is what I live for
(Falling down again)

I'll never look back
Over my shoulder again
It's what I live for
(Falling down again)




     Blue October's single “Oh My My” will also be on the album, “This is What You Live For.” An anthem about the animal attraction from opposite sides of the tracks, “Oh My My” captures that magnetism and lets it loose inside a bottled-up and uncontrollable primal love song (“Girl, you get me high / Yeah, you’re my type / You’re danger danger.”). “These songs on this album should make you want to fall in love with somebody, or miss somebody, or want to do something outrageous with your life,” says Justin Furstenfeld.



Lyrics of “Oh My My” by Blue October
You have black hair I have blue
You look sadder than most girls do
The way you walk around
Always watching the ground
Well I like watching you

Your friends, they don’t like me
I think they’re jealous of my tattoos
I’m not a bad guy
Just like wearing black
I’m not scared of anything
But saying this to you.

It’s going down, neither of us want to be alone right now

Oh My My
Yeah I’m loving all your warning signs
Cause I'm sucker for your oh my my
Girl you get me high
Yeah you’re my type, you’re danger, danger

Yeah I’ll be waiting by the blacktop
Like a cigarette stain for you
Every day I just won’t go away
I’m not scared of anything
But saying this to you

It’s going down, neither of us want to be alone right now

Oh My My
Yeah I’m loving all your warning signs
Cause I'm sucker for your oh my my
Girl you get me high
Yeah you’re my type, you’re danger, danger

Oh My My
Yeah I'm sucker for the lonely kind
Because I’m loving all your oh my my
Girl you get me high
Yeah you’re my type, you’re danger, danger

I can
I’ll go anywhere you want me
You want me to
Caught my eye
Watch us free fall
Catch me, I’ll catch you too

I can
I’ll go anywhere you want me
You want me to
Caught my eye
And now we free fall
Catch me, I’ll catch you

Oh My My
Yeah I’m in love with all your warning signs
Cause I'm sucker for you oh my my
Girl you get me high
Yeah you’re my type, you’re danger, danger

Oh My My
Yeah I'm sucker for the lonely kind
Because I’m loving all your oh my my
Girl you get me high
Yeah you’re my type, you’re danger, danger
