Video hit Blue October

Blue October - The Chills (acoustic)

The Texas quintet Blue October formed during the post-grunge boom of the mid-'90s when vocalist/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld began penning angst-ridden rock songs with the help of his brother, drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld, and violinist Ryan Delahoussaye.

Bassist Matt Noveskey and lead guitarist Brant Coulter completed the band's initial lineup, and Blue October released an independent debut album, The Answers, in 1998.

The band's emotive brand of post-grunge led to the sale of 5,000 copies in their native Houston alone.

Two years later, Blue October made their major-label debut on Universal with Consent to Treatment.

History for Sale By the time Blue October began prepping for their third album, 2003's History for Sale, guitarist Coulter had left the group and CB Hudson (guitar/vocals) had been added.

The band itself had also left Universal for Brando Records. The album's first single, "Calling You," became a Top 40 hit thanks to its inclusion on the American Wedding soundtrack, and Universal re-signed the band in the wake of such newfound success. The live CD/DVD package Argue with a Tree was released in February 2005, following 18 months of touring. Noveskey briefly left the band shortly thereafter, but returned in time to record Blue October's first studio album in three years, Foiled, which was issued in April 2006 and went platinum one year later.

Foiled for the Last Time Before the band went on tour with Yellowcard in September 2007, Universal/Motown released Foiled for the Last Time, a two-disc set consisting of a full version of Foiled, 14 newly recorded songs performed live, and several alternative remixes.

Recording sessions for another studio album, Approaching Normal, commenced in mid-2008 with producer Steve Lillywhite, and the finished product appeared early the following year.

Two albums appeared in 2011, Ugly Side: An Acoustic Evening with Blue October (recorded live in Austin, Dallas, and Houston) and Any Man in America.

The the group's seventh studio album, Sway, followed in 2013.

The lyrics:

Take my hand

Maybe we should run away

Maybe we should disappear

Leave everything behind

Like the useless things

Boxes labeled memories

The sudden health emergencies

Yeah we can leave those things behind

Show me,

Show me arms that reach for all we can be

Through understanding, tried forgiveness,

I faced the past,

It's what I witness

Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you?

I only hear your words that you say are true

But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over

You could catch me if you wanted to

Why you gotta say good bye

When you know you could come with me....

"No!" Can't afford to leave and stay

(i cant' afford it)

We're gonna have to just build one way

(look , i cant afford it)

So tell me, tell me all the things

You told me we could be

Through understanding, tried forgiveness

I faced the facts,

It's what I witnessed

Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you

I only hear your words that you say are true

But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over

catch me if you want

I only feel the chills when I'm with you

I feel it so high,

I feel it so high

Ca-Catch me, Ca-ca-catch me

"Why does the heart always have to break?"

(When you're trying way too hard)

"have to break?"

(Yeah she'll see right through you)

"have to break"

(All Communication, and the conversation, it breaks down)

"Now there'll be nothing to talk about"

Absolutely nothing just blah,blah,blah

Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you?

I only hear the words that you say are true

But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over

You could catch me if you wanted to.

Catch me,

Ca-ca-catch me.
