This Is What I Live For, the tenth studio album from Houston's Blue October, arrived on Up/Down-Brando Records on October 23, 2020, after slipping from its original September 18 date. It's the first Blue October record with lead guitarist Will Knaak on every song, lined up alongside Justin Furstenfeld on vocals and guitar, Jeremy Furstenfeld on drums, Ryan Delahoussaye on keyboards, mandolin and violin and Matt Noveskey on bass.
It's a family affair, too: Justin's daughter Blue Reed sings on "Fight for Love", her first appearance on one of the band's records, while longtime collaborator Steve Schiltz of Longwave supplies vocals and lyrics to the title track. Two songs, "I Will Follow You" and the title track, were cut at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, and "Only Lost Is Found" samples Idaho's "Live Today Again". The mood is big-hearted and restless, and "Oh My My" is the song that carried it onto the countdowns. Phillip Nichols created the artwork.
