Bipolar Rock



Taking a turn away from metal for a moment I want to share with you a rock band I love. Blue October is a rock band (not a metal band at all) out of Texas, their music is about of course the typical love, breakup, etc... but it is also based on the lead singers extensive battle with bipolar disorder and drug addiction. The song Hate Me was written for his  mother as an apology for everything he put her through baically telling her "it's okay to hate me" but really she cares about him more than anything. This is one of their biggest hits so give it a listen. Everyone can relate to their songs because they are about depression, love, and life, basically everything you can think of is in their music. Some of my favorite songs by Blue October are Hate Me, Life's Like A Jumprope, Balance Beam, and Dirt Room. I recommend all of Blue Octobers music to you if you like 30 Seconds to Mars, 3 Days Grace, and Cavo.
