Best Blue October Songs

The Top Ten
1 Hate Me

Amazing song that should definitely be their #1. I love "Into the Ocean," but "Hate Me" breaks me down every time I listen to it. The meaning of the song is so deep and powerful that anyone who has had a hard time before can relate to it. The way the music flows with the lyrics is simply amazing, and the emotional way it is sung is enough to make anyone cry.

You honestly have to have gone through something to understand this song. My mom waiting up for me to come home when I sometimes wouldn't. This song hit my heart with so much impact. I've been sober for 10 years, so people now have no idea. Most people love the concept when explained to them. This song is just amazing.

2 Into the Ocean

This is my favorite song of all time. It's a song I can listen to constantly and never get sick of. The lyrics really speak to me.

I can't really choose my "#1" song, but I think it should be this one because it's one of their most well-known songs (as far as radio plays go) and from their best album, Foiled.

I love this song so much I listen to it every day. It should be number 1.

3 Calling You

There is just something about this song. Every time I hear it, it makes you feel good and think about that special someone in your life.

This is my parents' song. I've been listening to it my whole life. Thank God you included it here.

4 Overweight

This song has such a catchy, unique, raw sound, and it captures the intensity of youth so well. Some of the best lyrics too… "trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes/let him be you through your beautiful cries/let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies"… "pull my hair back, look me in the eye/there's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy/it's the guilt of what reality is giving me/making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity." SO GOOD.

Just a fabulous song with a nice beat and even better vocals.

5 Congratulations

This is the first Blue October song I've heard, and I will listen to them more often now that they have captured my heart.
"I want to give you something
I've been wanting to give to you for years.
My heart."
Simply amazing!

"My heart, my pain won't cover up,
You left me."
Everyone who has experienced unrequited love will be able to relate to this song. This song is the anthem of unrequited love.

6 Sound of Pulling Heaven Down

The build-up is awesome. As the music slowly picks up, you can really feel the energy.

7 She's My Ride Home

I honestly think that if you strip this song down, it doesn't get more romantic than this. It's our wedding song. We've been together for years, known each other for almost a decade, and I can't actually think of a better song than this for our wedding.

8 Jump Rope

God, I haven't listened to this song in years. It's still hard to at times. She loved this song, and her outlook on life was exactly this. Life is a jump rope, people.

9 Say It

So I give you my coldest shoulder!

10 18th Floor Balcony

This song cemented my love for Blue October. My wife and I heard it live for the first time, and we used it as our wedding song!

One of his most amazing songs ever. It's heartbreaking if you can relate.

The Contenders
11 The Worry List

This song should be in the top ten at the very least. The song tells his story of losing his baby girl, Blue, but it's so easy to relate to. It got me through some tough times with my crush.

Best Blue October song since "Hate Me." It's as powerful as any that they've written. A few months ago, this song single-handedly got me listening to them again after years.

This song makes me cry almost every time I hear it. It really hits home for me. "I know that God exists, I held her in my arms."

12 Fear

I absolutely love this song. It's about not letting fear make your life difficult. You have to take control of your own life.

This song is so powerful for anyone who experiences anxiety. It motivates me to get up, keep going, and never give up.

This song is for everyone, including you and me, who are struggling to face our own world. Sometimes a problem will be accepted as rubbish by someone but will be seen as a giant monster by another. This song comes to help, a little bit or maybe more. Love this song so much.

13 You Make Me Smile
14 Bleed Out

This song has been my anthem for a couple of years now and helped me get the courage to leave an abusive relationship. I get goosebumps every time I hear it, no matter how many times I listen. It's definitely in my top 5 favorite Blue October songs, and I think the instrumentals and lyrics are some of their very best.

Such a beautiful song - the acoustic version is fantastic. I just got dumped after a two-year relationship where I gave the girl absolutely everything, and this song is getting me through it. Thank you, Blue October, for writing such heartfelt lyrics.

15 Ugly Side

This song should be in the top 3. Amazing lyrics, a catchy rhythm, and a good subject - everything essential for a great song.

16 Light You Up

This is a stunning song. I really appreciate Justin's (lead vocalist) voice in all of his songs. His passion is unique in each individual song.

Most amazing song, in my opinion, especially the live version(s).

17 Dirt Room
18 Amazing
19 Come in Closer
20 Angels in Everything

The lyrics, the vocals, the flow - everything in this song is beautiful!

21 My Never
22 The Feel Again (Stay)

I love this song. The first time I heard it, it brought tears to my eyes. It's so full of emotions!

23 Home

Most stunning song. I love the lyrics, especially for my family. Thank you, Blue October.

24 Weight of the World

Everyone should listen to this song! The live version is so amazing! "Don't bother trusting, don't bother waiting, don't bother changing things that won't get into changing... Just let me go away."

I can't not include this song, especially the live version from Argue with a Tree. The studio version from Approaching Normal is... meh, too quiet. Not as powerful as they are live.

All of their songs are the BEST. Hands down.
