Why I love the band.

So why do I love Blue October so much? I don't think I could count all the reasons...but I'll try.

1. First, I think that the band has some of the most meaningful lyrics I've ever heard. I can easily relate to much of what the various songs say. For instance:

"Cause I only want you to see My favorite part of me And not my ugly side" --Ugly Side

"Stand by for another breakdown Sound off the alarm Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?" --Chameleon Boy

"Your brain has faulty wiring, the reason for tiring Keep treating the curse, imagine the worst" --X Amount of Words

2. Second, their live show is amazing. They'll make you fall in love with songs you've heard a million times, all over again at every show. I've been to quite a few shows and nothing is more thrilling than a band who knows how to play their instruments and really puts on a show. Check out some live videos if you don't believe me.

3. Third, and finally for this list, I have never seen a band more willing to pose for pictures and sign autographs for their fans. They love to talk with the fans, at least the non-BSC ones, particularly when it's obvious that they're completely enjoying themselves. To me that's a mark of a great band. Not only do you play your instruments well but you realize that your fans are the reason why you have a job doing what you love to do. It's my opinion that bands that ignore or hate their fans are completely out of touch with reality.

So that's all for now, I'll be back again soon, but until then remember that the guys are on tour right now and you need to buy your tickets fast!!!
