Current members of Blue October include Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals), Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, and vocals), Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums, percussion), Matt Noveskey (bass guitar) and Will Knaak (guitar).
Popularized by their platinum-certified album Foiled (2006), which features the hit singles “Hate Me” and “Into the Ocean,” the group has continued to evolve… shifting from a far more pensive sound to one that is more optimistic and reflective of lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld’s transformation—which will also be the focus of his soon-to-be-released documentary film, I Want It.
Once known for their stormy dynamic and self-destructive tendencies, Blue October couldn’t be more distinct from the band it once was, which is why their latest studio album, I Hope You’re Happy, looks to push the envelope even further with a whole new approach. Justin Furstenfeld is quoted as saying "I think Blue October should never be limited to the instruments we have in the band. I’m always about bringing in whoever can play what’s best for the song in. I’m also a huge fan of Peter Gabriel, and if you were to him all you can have is a guitarist a bassist and a drummer, he’d go “what?!” That’s how I feel. We took all the tools we had gotten from working all these kinds of people over the twenty-year span and made a really good album and we’re super proud of it. It’s nice and colorful and positive and universally themed. It’s something you can really sink your teeth into and not get sick of. You can always discover little new secrets about it along the way."
Their latest album, I Hope You're Happy, was released on August 17, 2018 on the band's own Up/Down Records label and was produced by Justin Furstenfeld and engineer Eric Holtz.
Previous band members have included Liz Mulally, Brant Coulter, Dwayne Casey, Piper Dagnino, Julian Mandrake, CB Hudson and Matthew Ostrander.

Blue October Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In Blue October's song Oh My My, the singer addresses a girl with black hair and observes that she appears consistently sad. The way she moves around, always keeping her eyes on the ground, intrigues him and he confesses that he likes watching her. The girl's friends don't like the singer, perhaps because of his tattoos but he reassures her that he is not a bad person, stating that he likes wearing black and isn't afraid of anything except admitting his feelings for her. As the singer and the girl find themselves on the brink of something new, they both acknowledge that neither of them wants to be alone, and that something is definitely "going down."
The chorus of the song reveals that the singer is attracted to the girl's warning signs. She is his type and he is drawn to the danger she represents. He waits for her by the blacktop, ready to catch her when she falls. The girl is also drawn to the singer's lonely kind and enjoys the rush of emotions she experiences when she's with him. They've both caught each other's eye, and together they promise to free fall and catch each other along the way.

I used to listen to nothing but Blue October when I was younger, then through life they faded out as I began to get very busy. I hadn't listened to them in years. I was flipping through the radio and caught the tail end of this song and I immediately was like, "Wait, is that Blue October?" Then in the past few days, I've been going back through and relistening to them. Catching up on songs I had missed. Just falling in love with them all over again.
