Blue October - Into The Ocean

Justin Furstenfeld wrote "Into the Ocean" for Foiled, Blue October's fifth album, in 2006, and it became the record's second single. It's a song that floats and aches, Furstenfeld's voice doing the heavy lifting, with David Castell credited as producer.

It made its way slowly and stubbornly. The video, directed by Zach Merck, climbed to number one on VH1's V-Spot countdown, the song turned up on The Sopranos and Moonlight, and it reached 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2012 it was certified platinum for a million sales in the US. Furstenfeld clearly isn't finished with it either: he has come back to it on the Foiled Again EP, the acoustic Ugly Side: An Acoustic Evening with Blue October and a string of live releases.
