Black Pumas – OCT 33 lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got your number, lonely
October 33
I wear it on my soul’s back
Like, fair, fair, fair
And, I can hear the brass ring, I hear it in the nosebleeds
Where you once felt a cold breeze
Think it was Halloween


[Verse 2]
I've got your number, lonely
October 33
That's cold facts, fair, fair, fair
Holds me down, like you know how, darlin’
Hold me now, like you know my plight

[Chorus]
Got your number, I do
Alone in the back
I'm sending love where you are at
I do

[Verse 3]
I've got your number, lonely
October 33
Your love's my only good thing
Like, fair, fair, fair
So, help me hear the bird sing
I'll help you capture your dream
Let's see it in the present, and try to let it be

[Verse 4]
I've got your number, lonely
October 33
I'm knockin’ at your door, babe
Like, fair, fair, fair
You can hear the band play
Then listen to my heart say
It’s gonna be a good day
October 33

[Chorus]
Got your number, baby, I do
Crying in the back
I'm sending love where you are at
I do, to you
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Fair, fair, fair
Hold on, hold on, hold on

[Outro]
Say, I wanna make it alright
Good times, stop, look and listen
Said, I wanna make it alright
Stop, look and listen
Alone in the back
Send love where you’re at
I do

    It's the date you're going out with your secret crush :-)
    In other words, imagine you've dreamed of this for a while but you can't get up the nerve to ask, so instead you create a memory that you wear on your "soul's back", on a date that doesn't exist.

    It's a detailed song about his journey from New Mexico to California to Austin Texas. I got your number is reference to the understanding of him knowing what your about. Your meaning THE JOURNEY to becoming a successful musician. October is the time frame the decision was made to relocate to Austin Texas. lonely was going to be the journey as he probably was alone. 33 is the highway in California were and when he may have decided to move to Austin. He wears it on his souls back means it was a tough decision and fair fair fair means it is what it is. hearing the brass ring and in the nosebleed lines is him knowing success is near but yet so far away.. Verse two is him knowing the truth of the matter and he is pleading with himself to be prepared to sieze the moment when the opportunity arises in Austin. Verse 3 his him discussing with another musician that all he has to offer is his music but I could help you forfill your dreams too. Lets give it a try a see what happens. Verse 4 the writer knows that are close to success and later he confirms to himself and declares to all there pending success saying its ging to be a good day.The chorus is tears of joy from the people and support back in New Mexico and California and he is giving them a shout out.

    Oct 33 can't be 3rd Nov because October has 31 days. October 33 would be the 2nd November. O would say it probably has more to do with something personal. Sounds definitely like a love song of some sort. Haven't seen that explanation on yt but at least the math and calendar don't like.

    Eric said it's a break up song and it's a message to his younger self.
    The title is oct 33 because he was born in oct 7 ... According to him, its just a little piece of him in the title too. (((You can find this on youtube KEXP LIVE))) e

    I think this song is about the US Presidential election on Nov 3 .i.e.Oct 33). This is supported by the line “it’s goin to be a good day” and the references to “fair”. Sending love is a reference to voting and “that’s cold facts” is a dig at Trumps and the fact he won’t paint the outcome as fake news.
