Justin Furstenfeld in Blue October went through a lot of mental health issues and addiction and he lays it all out in his music - that second song is from an album where he was going through a divorce, and one of the songs is about an event he had where he was flying back home, had an episode and turned himself in to the police out of fear he was gonna kill his wife's lover (all based on real events).

He's matured and settled down more so his music became a little more lovey-dovey at times but they still have some really powerful/dark songs.

Also he's just a great guy, got to meet him after a show and he cares a lot about his fans (even if he seems a little self absorbed sometimes)

To be fair, I think a lot of really good artists are quite self absorbed. Something to do with their creative process maybe? Particularly if theyre putting a lot of themselves into the music, which from what youve said he seems to do. Ive got a few albums queued up in my to listen playlist, I had a listen here and there to their songs and Im really digging most of what Ive heard.

I really dont know what is happening with the [Italian city with the water and canals] masquerade meets a country and western rabbi get-up, but I actually really liked that. His voice is a thing of beauty, you could get lost in it.

...Venice! I cant believe I forgot that
