That's hard ),: keep walking forward, let his spirit watch you smile and still love him. I'm sorry you're going through that, losing children is so, so impossibly rough
Wow! How cool is that song? The posts i have read have been from men. All positive! My boyfriend of almost 2 yrs., came into the room while this song was playing. He had never heard it before. He stopped in his tracks & said, "what a powerful song!" We both are in our fifties. We both had kids with our former spouses. We were both single parents. When i looked at my boyfriend as he listened to this song, i was reminded again of why i love him dearly. We both treasure our kids, & the experience of raising them. This song, "Home", is what it is, simply beautiful!!
Be a little boy, be a father, be a husband......and very last, be a man. All the other stuff doesn't matter, just your family. That's how you become a man.
10 years ago listening to Blue October was sadness. Now to see him happy lets me know that I can also find happiness. Suicide isn't the answer. Find your happiness, just like Justin did. There's always a new hope!
This. I'm struggling so bad right now. I went impatient a year ago while I was still in the military. 11 different psychiatric disorders, genius IQ, and insomnia(both hypo and hyper). Getting out may've been just as tough, though. I just can't seem to find me right now.
this song helped me get off of cocaine. it helped me realize i wasn't only losing myself but wife and kids. the first time i heard this song i decided enough was enough. 41 days sober. Thank you for making songs that help people. I see the beauty in life again. I can honestly say this song helped save my life.
It doesn't matter what they sing I get teary eyed! I love their sound but it hits in such a raw place for me. I'm never sure if I'm in a good enough place to listen to them. Love this song and can't wait to share it with my husband.
@@Pete_R63 Luckily they never became too commercialised. It takes a certain kind of soul to appreciate this music. If you've known pain, you will understand the music.
My wife and I are in the hospital right now getting ready to have our first child and this song makes my heart leap with joy with the fact that very soon I am going to be a daddy and will get to experience this love and bonding of a family.
Mr. Biggz My girlfriend and I just had our first child 3 weeks ago and I can honestly say that I'm happy to be a father to my son and a soon to be husband for my girlfriend and it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. You can do it just hang in there and you will have an amazing family just like I do. Congratulations to you and your wife.
This song helped me tremendously in the darkest of times! Unfortunately it had a twist in my story. I played it for my wife before leaving to treatment for addiction letting her know this was the goal in my life. When i got out, however, she decided it was time to move on with her life. I still listen to this song daily and continue my daily practice to remain clean and sober. The lyrics are a reminder of the things that can be possible living a clean life.
Congratulations on your sobriety. Stay safe stay positive . If you guys can get through this together you can get through anything. 👍🔥 Justin has changed alot of lives 👍🔥
I found Blue October when I was about 13 or 14, the hardest part of my depression. At 27, I'm now married with the most perfect little 4 year old boy. This song made me cry because things really do get better. Even if it takes a long time. To anyone who is struggling, don't be afraid to reach out for help and please trust me when I say. Things do get better. ❤
There's something so beautiful and special about finally finding happiness after years of pain and depression. It's like those of us who have real demons like this get to experience a different kind of happiness when we get better than those who haven't been through it.
I've been through so many years of the up's and down's , having my husband of 17 years die in 2007...and it started all over again with my dad's death. You have to keep strong...don't be like me. 😢
If you've listened to Blue October for a couple of years, Justin feels like a friend at this point. And as a friend, I'm glad to hear his doing better.
I have 3 months off opiods, for a while I lost my wife, my children, almost lost our home. I was a cop I got hurt and they sent me to pain management, I thought because I went to Dr's I wasn't a addict. Then I found Jesus waiting for me, I became born again. I put my life in God's hands stopped going to pain management started going to church and celebrate recovery. I'm blessed to say I have my wife back my children back and my savior back. This song is truly my life song. For anyone out there struggling your not alone, THERE IS HOPE.
Been where you were at the time of this comment! I have almost 28 months clean now and life is amazing! Hope your still fighting the good fight! Proud of you bro!!!
That's the thing about THE Good News... it just keeps growing and getting better. Welcome home. Thanks for sharing your story & I now think of each believer like a pebble just tossed into the living water... going into the world and touching lives with their story and creating rings that ripple and will forever! And know that if you ever slip off the mountaintop the way we humans often do, now all you have to do is ask for help, and He'll have that many more people to send you! It's a beautiful connection. So glad you've made it! Keep Sharing Your Story! You never know who it's gonna touch or even save!!!! God Bless!
I was born with a hole in my heart. I can't even drink decaffeinated coffee before my heart explodes. I just don't understand why you people do that to yourselves.
I cried listening to this 8 years ago pregnant, hoping this could be my life. Fast forward 8 years...beautiful life and happy tears listening this time. If you can dream it, you can do it.
Rob Hoffalicious hahaha sorry! I mean you gotta agree though Blue October hasn't really stuck with their original genre as they continued making music.
I'm 28 years old. My parents as well as my grandparents are deceased. I am single with no kids and I am a single child.... and yet, this song is absolutely amazing to me... I guess it's more of a dream for me :)
Whenever this comes on the radio, I smile, and then I start to cry. I love Blue October so so much and I am so glad they came out with this new album. How does this not have a billion views and comments yet?
this song makes me smile and i can't help but sing it when i'm drivin'. i agree - how do they not have a billion comments and views yet?! it's amazing to me what WILL have all the hype.......and it isn't shit! oh well. guess that means we'll just hafta keep buyin' the albums and listening.
Amazing to see how far Justin's came since Hate Me... Living a clean & sober life, living for every moment he gets to enjoy now w/ his family & friends! Plus, the music he makes is so amazing & inspiring!! Truly an underrated band!!!
Most perfect song for a very special Man. He gave and did everything for his family especially his daughters wife and friends. Very special song. I will always miss you my Brother.
i have not heard of this singing group/band. But when i heard the song HOME and i reviewed the video , I can tell that the lead vocalist has put all of his feelings into the song, and that i can FEEL the emotions that he brings to the audience. I do love this song.
Blue October are mostly known for their big hit "Hate Me" which is a depressing, angry song. Most of their songs deal with thoughts of suicide, angry or depression related themes. However, this album and Sway tend to be more upbeat than their previous. I welcome the change.
That is what I've always loved about this band. I can feel with each song. You can tell the music comes. You can hear the emotions behind them. They are pure and raw in so many ways.
One of two songs I played constantly while pregnant with the baby I thought I'd never be able to have, she's almost 3 now and this song still brings a tear to my eye
My 3 year-old is having brain surgery in Feb. The last few months has been crazy for our family. But once again, my husband is the one ready with the humor to make me laugh through all the tears and frustration. He is my rock, and the kids know that we are in this together. He chooses everyday to be the most amazing father and husband I could ever have asked for. This song nails everything. I love Blue October. How do they always release the perfect song at the perfect time for me?!
said a prayer for your precious baby, "with the good Lord willing" may your baby be comforted and have a safe and easy surgery and recovery....keep trusting in our Lord:)
I am 35 years old , married 12 , 5 yr old son 3 yr old daughter , and knowing that my wife saved me from absolute disaster in a cocaine habit about 10 years ago , this song is absolutely our anthem, and we dance in the kitchen in the pail moonlight often , thank you for being a beacon of hope
To me this song is the kind of hope that can break even the deepest depression. It reminds me of why I have to stay alive. For my family, for the little things. Thank you Blue October FOR REMINDING ME TO KEEP FIGHTING.
Why can't there be more songs like this? This is when you really enjoy the music. When it is about love and is up-lifting. It makes you think of those you love.
The first time I heard this song was the day after I found out my husband cheated on me.....I remember sobbing on the floor, wondering if I would EVER know the meaning of "family" and "home". Wondering if I would ever find someone who loved me and my son despite our baggage. Fast forward almost a year and I'm almost divorced & literally fell into a love story with a man who makes me feel every word of this in my soul. I listen to this and smile now ❤
My highest appreciation for your kindness .At this difficult time, it’s so nice to feel appreciated thanks for been a great fan keep it up while I bring more interesting movies to your way🌹🌹 Redgard Blue October
My son got married last night and this is the song he played for our Mother-Son dance because he knows how deeply this song touches me. The first time I heard it I told my husband it reminds me of us and our family. Literally my favorite song of all time!! 💙💙💙 Of course I bawled while singing every word. M💜
Hearing this song after hearing "hate me" makes me really hope he's finally living the kind of life depicted here. That hes the picture of what the other side of addiction and/or depression is, that the eternal struggle to laps or ruminate is manageable.
It's incredible how we undervalue the most important things in life like family, children, being with someone you love and who loves you. Love moves the world. Thank you for reminding me once again.
im one of the 99% who struggle to make ends meet, works too many hours and watches the 1% take year long vacations. That has absolutely no bearing on being happy and appreciating what you have. I am so happy with my family. My wife is amazing, beautiful, supportive and I constantly find happiness in her pleasure. My children are funny, brilliant, talented and they are all a constant source of pride in my life. Everything I do, I do for them because they make me happy and that makes me happy.
Damn dude! This is awesome! I got out the joint 9 years ago now. 4 kids, good job, loving wife, a good relationship with my mom and dad, real FRIENDS. I've never looked back. Not to say I don't still have some deeply rooted struggles with certain things but my boys and my wife are my favorite things in life. My youngest is 3 and the way he watches me and does everything I do makes me stay on point with my life. Words don't describe that kind of love that I feel but your face in this video says it all! I'm so genuinely happy to see others break away from the darkness that haunted them!
@@JeffTiberend didn't forget about you love eveone supporting people living with cat gave birthday beautiful 10 kittens cute friend hope fantastic weekend pary you family friends safe.
I've followed this band for as long as i can remember, since their first album, even when they weren't officially a band and went by another name, and every year i'm more and more proud of them. They're the best band there is, the most honest, raw and beautiful, genuine group in the world. I'm so glad they're reaching a little more mainstream recognition this song/album. They're so wonderful.
The Last Wish was there old name, I wasn't born, but I discovered them when Approaching Normal came. I own every song by them, published and non-published. Amazing band and their story.
Powerful! "I can't wait to see what's around the corner... Only care in the world is that our kids are all right. Daddy loves Mama and Mama loves him... Tomorrow we get to do it over, again!"~Great message to send to your kids (& the one you love!)! Thank you, Blue October!!!
I just seen Justin two nights ago. He was in such a great mood! The last time I seen him he hardly wanted to talk. He is getting better and better with his mental health. This song inspires me so much. I dont have kids but thats not the point... the point of this song is to love and appreciate the little things you have and the fantastic people in your life and build a "home" from your heart rather than from money and greed. Edit: guys, the blue October account responding in the comments is spam. Dont acknowledge them lol
Hopefully that's not true and he's doing great. Last time I heard how he was doing it was great. I know his father is sick but he's being very active on Facebook and doing Zoom meet and greets
So So very well put😍❤️❤️❤️ I am in the process of shedding my tough skin and I will say it has been painful but I know that it is something that is going to be well worth it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 God help me.
So nice to watch this band grow, from 2006 Hate me, to how happy this song is to be so positive. I've grown as well and I'm still here. Good for you Justin and family, Good for you blue october. Glad to see we are all still here, because we have all lost some way to young. The answer is not in a pill or the bottom of a bottle. It's family, friends, laughs, comedy, and good times. Keep your head up people, you got this.
Years ago I was going through one of the most difficult times of my life, I had just lost my kids. Blue October was playing in Omaha Nebraska. I went but the fire marshal said too many people had shown for the concert it was a small venue. Very few stayed after that, I was one of them standing outside in the rain. After the show was over and everyone had disbursed I finally got to go inside. While I was standing at the bar ordering a drink you walked behind the bartender to go out the back carrying a beautiful curly haired little girl she couldn't have been more then 3. A precious moment I never forgot, seeing a superstar being a good dad. I came to hear you play but got so much more. Thank you.
im about to be 15.. probably no one i know listens to music like this because its truth and no one is real anymore. the world we live in is a cruel place, and relationships are no longer about love. i doubt anyone will notice this but its just something i felt needed to be here. we put all we have into the newer way and we drain ourselves of the ability to see what real love could and should be. not many people have true honest love in their lives and this song is just how things should be. i love blue october i always will, and i hope they release more songs like this❤
destiny vanbuskirk awww sweet girl my kids are your age and listen to it.. I'm old lol but listen to it.. I noticed your comment and hope you continue to love music
You are wise beyond your years. Don't let this world change you. I know it seems dark and cold but this song is proof that beauty can still be found in the most unexpected places. Im twice your age and I have to tell you that your comment gave me hope for the future generations. I'm sorry you had to find out at such a young age that things aren't really what we thought they were. It took me a lot longer to figure it out. The important thing is to remember that if you keep the attitude you have and pass it on to your children then you can change this world for the better. Thank you for restoring my faith in the younger generation. We need more young people like you. 👍👍👍👍
carl pls stop... People don’t define who you are. You are Master and Commander of your destiny. Hold steadfast and stay true to who you are. There are still people that still believe in family, faith and love.
"We found our home" "something we can build for years" This is the greatest goal anyone can have. Some very powerful lyrics. This song will help keep your eye on the ball. Nice one Blue October!
I would sing this to my daughter while I was pregnant with her (almost 6years ago). It’s always just been me and her, and she’s the reason why I’m still standing strong today
The lyrics “tomorrow we get to do it over again” are still something special. You know those days that are so good you never want them to end, and when they do, you look back and wish you could do it all again? I love those memories.
The lyrics display a deep understanding of what childhood is like... for a child, seeing and knowing that your parents love each other (as well as you), you can have peace and comfort and the kind of childhood every child deserves... no stress and fear and burdens keeping them from fully enjoying and loving life. The best line is, "we get to do it over again". That is childhood exactly, as it should be anyway. Life is simple, and every day is new... they just want to do it all over again, there is no boredom in repetition if what is being repeated is at it's heart good.
love these guys........I don't have kids (that I know of....lol)......but....I could always relate to his addiction......it's a lot long battle......goose bumps listening to this and knowing he's doing better 😎
Folks... the valley and the peak cannot exist without each other. Blue October sings a lot about the valley, but the peak needs love too. This is part of the journey and deserves to be celebrated. I love it with all my heart.
Seeing the fruit of the Spirit show up so beautifully in Justin's life is incredibly touching to see. We are all blessed that he showed a window into his soul, a happiness that is made all the sweeter because of how much he appreciates it after all the suffering he endured. This is a treasure beyond words. Thank You, God.
What set this off from every other video ive seen.. is the personal touch of all ( except one, i know why...) the members ... this song isnt just one persons love of home, its the beautiful dream they all share togather... and how each and everyone of them are a piece of it. Family.. friends, all the little things in life that make a home.
I guess it’s my turn to make a comment. My mom died almost 6 years ago. While she was here, Earthside… she loved listening to you guys. She followed y’all and was so proud of how far you all came. We played this song at both her funeral and viewing. Thanks for existing and making music. You really gave her a reason to smile, and I get to feel her when I listen to your voice.
Our foster kiddo loved this song. He became unsafe and was removed from our home yesterday, permanently. We're heartbroken as we loved him so much. Im just crying listening to this on repeat.
Listening to this song makes me wonder what it would have been like to grow up with a family like you described in this song. My parents were always fighting. The lyrics "Daddy loves momma and momma loves him" hits me really deep and I truly hope my son feels like this song is how his home was when he grows up. Thank you for making beautiful music.
I feel you. My father was mostly absent. When he was present he was abusive. I wondered for years what it would have been like to have a loving father. Now I’m at peace with it and think …good thing my mom had enuf love to cover his lack of it. She died unexpectedly two years ago next week and my heart aches for her every minute of every day.
My heart hurts for both of you. @stuff2047, I am so sorry for your loss. That is always a tough loss, especially when it is unexpected and sudden. As someone who grew up in an abusive home, I have always longed for the same thing. Today, my husband and I just work hard to break those cycles and give this song to our children and ourselves. Sending you thoughts of love and peace.
This song is beautiful and just makes me feel so good! I'm disabled and in a chair and when this song comes on, I can't help it and just start "dancing" and singing...oh and smiling, of course!! So happy that you're happy, Justin!! That alone would make this song awesome, but it's also universal and speaks of the things that truly matter in this life! God Bless You All!
Only took once to hear and started bawling. my husband and i got into drugs heavily in the beginning of our relationships and everyone trying to rip us apart but amongst everything and everyone around us, we stayed true to each other. got clean, have three beautiful babies together, got married and now here we are keeping our family tight and most important priority!!! and even though we had a lot of rough patches, the dances in the kitchen to no music were my favorite moments, knowing no matter what we were gonna be ok!!!
Cecily Cook. Here I am a total stranger. Wanted to say I'm very proud of you both. Keep Clean. Hold them babies close. Love them unconditionally, always. Dance...on.
I just heard this tonight, I'm still fighting through alcohol addiction, but it's getting much better, music, support system gets me through. I'm proud of you both, keep on keeping on. That's my motto.❤
My husband and I recently bought a "Home", so we could live like in this video. We have been through hell for the past 6 months, but we have found our heaven here on Earth, together! Our love has helped push us through all the struggles we encountered, so bless our love always, 12 years together and 7 of those years married. He is my ancher and I am his, Framber Forever, Fred and Amber!
And sometimes it fits... it just does. Hate Me came out in a very hard time in my life. A lot of loss. Home comes out at a time where we are focused on rebuilding our lives, on home and while things are not perfect me and mine are very optimistic.
I'm 32 and came from a broken home. My loving caring mother passed away from cancer when I was 13 and my dad just abandoned us after. He wasn't the best dad, but he worked a lot and put food on the table for us. My older siblings took care of us younger ones after he left. I had stopped crying to sad songs in my early 20's and thought I had overcome my childhood trauma. When I heard this song for the first time I cried like never before and finally went to therapy for help. I still cry when I hear this song, but I'm doing better now more than ever thanks to this song.
Angel of death He performed at Lake Hills Church in Northwest Austin with just one other performer this past Sunday morning 1/7/17 for the 9:00 and 11:00 service. I was there, I'm a member of the church. His story was spellbinding and his performance left not a dry eye in the house. I could possibly track down a video if you like?
jchilds2003 Thank you. This guy is amazing live. He leaves it all out there. His story is amazing. He spoke of being at rehab and praying for God to give him a sign and he recounted that a bee came down and kept buzzing around him and then dived into a barrel of poison. He felt that God was telling him that he was that bee. I'm telling you that the whole crowd was hushed and in tears after that.
I am 60 years old I have been listening to you for a while this is my favorite song ever because you look happy and you are singing about the things that make us all ...sing
+Michael Bush I agree after everything he has been through it gives me hope for my situation ... I know the heartache of dealing with some one who wont let you see your kid and when she does it ends in constant accusations . To see him come out of it and able to smile makes me hopeful for me and my daughter .
I don't know if the actual band reads this but i want to thank them. My mother passed 6 days before christmas this year. A few friends took my mother to see your concert and to meet you earlier last year or 2019. When she passed she still had a picture of the concert as her phone background. It meant the world to my mom to meet you at a meet and greet. I just want to say thank you for being an important part of my moms life and giving her so much inspiration to be the person she wanted to be.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I hope you are able to find peace with the memories that you hold in your heart . Until you see each other again♥️
I can't wait to hear more of this voice, this music, this magic. I love coming back to past songs and seeing their talent and growth through the years. This is one of my favorites. The classics like into the ocean and hate me as well. They're all my favorites 😭 let's be real. ❤
This was my song for my kids dad and I. I thought if we could just get clean this would be us... I finally left Two years ago after I don't know how many time I had gone back. He's in jail and getting worse and I celebrated 3 years clean yesterday 10 months off subs all on my own. I worked in a rehab for a year and I'm now working with Autistic kids with amazing benefits weekends holidays off. My kids are thriving and I can finally listen to this song except it has a whole new meeting. My kids and I are thriving only care in the world is my kids are alright and I'm alright, not where I wanna be but better than where I was..
When someone asks me what I want in the future or what happiness looks like to me, i always point back to this song. Thank you for being a light in this dark tunnel.
I listen to this song almost everyday. I have been a fan of yalls since Hate Me. I still listen to all your music. But this song just uplifts my mood so much. My boyfriend and I are talking about getting married and I told him this is my wedding song because everytime I hear it, I'm just so happy and thankful for my family and the support I have. I love this song.
me to ! my wife of 27 years is asleep in the recliner beside mine . its 2:17 am . im nocturnal ! haha !! i have 2 grown sons . both married and i will be a granpa this month ! my youngest son is 25 and my daughter in law is gonna have a boy ! this is whats a trip since i agreed with your post , drum roll please..... they picked his name last month ! it is " Eli " wow !
I have listened to Blue October since I was like 8. I'm now 20, married and with my first baby. I hadn't listened to it in maybe a year. My baby was asleep and me and my husband were dancing in the kitchen. This song started playing in my head out of nowhere and I just cried, looked at my husband and said "this is what I have always wanted." This song is part of my life sound track:) love yall
I remember when 94.5 the buzz aired this song for the first time. since I'm in houston we seriously heard it first. Justin was in studio and everything. I had to pull over and just cry
me too! driving home with my kids in the car and had to pull over to a CVS to listen to it and it hit me hard. You could feel Justin's happiness resonating through the song.
This song brought me and my husband back together after almost separating when mental health and PP issues became too much. We made it our wedding song.
I have been a fan for almost 7 years now and I am so proud and so thankful to see this video. Justin, you look so happy lately and seeing your bright posts on social media always makes my day. I've been with you guys for a while now and while I have loved every musical evolution that you guys have gone through, I am so happy to hear this bright, happy song. You have helped me through some of my darkest times and this song means so much to me. Justin's smile makes me so happy to see! I will buy the new album the day it comes out as I have done with all the others. Thank you for making music that speaks to so many of us. I wish you guys all the happiness in the world!
I've known these gents forEVER and to hear and see happiness surging out of Justin is such an amazing thing. He and this band are proof that music is healing.
This song was at my wedding! I was pregnant with my first child and so excited to start my family and my forever home! Two kids later and 5 years married! I am beyond blessed ❤️ I love you Alex!!!
I remember way back when, when I was depressed. and I would listen to Blue October to make me feel like I wasn't alone... Way WAY back when (seems like a life time). and it was strange how every time my feelings changed I always went back to Blue October, and I felt like I was on the same ride. Now I am... happy with my life in a way I can't explain, I am engaged and everything seems so right its impossible to explain how i escaped those bad times of loss and suffering but here I am.. and here Blue October is... Somehow still being a source of amazing empathy, and joy. Look.. I write... I.. do stuff... Its not my passion for life but its a side thing for me.. Im so glad, SO GLAD that performing never became a side thing for you guys. You are amazing.
This comment will be lost. But just like us, BO was going through some stuff. I was going through depression while playing Halo 2 and listening to Hate Me. Now in 2017 I'm happy. Im so glad I made it through! Just like you! Congrats man. We made it!
NinjaSkittlez I just found there music. I suffer depression. I have sczoaffective which is bipolar type which is hearing voices plus depression. Ptsd, borderline personality disorder.
"Home" I'll smile if I want to I'm not afraid, gonna flaunt it too What a glow when you're living true Yeah I'm living for the right now I had a few friends show me how I take a deep breath and blow it out Let it go But listen I- I can't wait to see what's around the corner I can't wait to soar Baby, I lie awake and I watch you sleeping thinking it's the little things that make a home Like dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight Only care in the world is that our kids are all right Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again So smile at me, baby, take my breath away With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again I feel like I'm gonna win And I'm as proud as I've ever been 'Cause I'm surrounded with some good friends Yeah, good friends, good friends I'm forever like a tattoo, yeah I got to stay sticky 'cause I gotta be the glue for My girl, my friends, my home, family, I do it all Truly I can't wait to see what's around the corner I can't wait to soar But, baby, I lie awake and I watch you sleeping thinking it's the little things that make a home Yeah 'Cause we'll be dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight Only care in the world is that our kids are all right Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again So smile at me, baby, take my breath away With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again We found our home Something we can build for years The young and old I'll be there to wipe your tears We all get to see Who we grow up to be An anchor when in doubt An ocean when in drought We aim for it all We lift up these walls To make this house our home Dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight Only care in the world is that our kids are all right Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again So smile at me, baby, take my breath away With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again Dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight Only care in the world is that our kids are all right Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again So smile at me, baby, take my breath away With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him Tomorrow we get to do it over again
The journey that Justin has made and the struggles he's overcome are so apparent from the evolution of his songs. I love it. Absolutely amazed everytime I watch Hate Me and follow it up with Home or Fear.
I have had a battle with trying to fill a void that never could be filled...lost my mother to pills...in 2012 I started heroin and today I have a life ...road has been rough but paying child support saving money paying bills and living true is so much more fulfilling than the treachery I put myself through before thank you Lord and this song gets me in tears like no other

Songs like "Hate Me" might have stopped me from killing myself but songs like this give me a hope for the future and a reason to live.
Same here!
🙌🙌🙌🙌💗
Right? How many bands can have this type of impact on their fans? Justin rocks.
Same for all of us guys. Bless you Justin 🌼
love that ur alive
Played this at my son’s funeral. One of his very favorite. 11 years old....
He loved his family.
I'm so sorry for your loss 💔❤️🩹
That's hard ),: keep walking forward, let his spirit watch you smile and still love him. I'm sorry you're going through that, losing children is so, so impossibly rough
Damn, I feel you. I used to listen to this with mine as well. Sending love
I'm sorry for your loss, stay strong 🖤
I am very sorry for your loss! Courage to you and your family 💜
Im a grown ass man and this made me cry happy tears like a little boy..... Such a positive song
Wow! How cool is that song? The posts i have read have been from men. All positive! My boyfriend of almost 2 yrs., came into the room while this song was playing. He had never heard it before. He stopped in his tracks & said, "what a powerful song!" We both are in our fifties. We both had kids with our former spouses. We were both single parents. When i looked at my boyfriend as he listened to this song, i was reminded again of why i love him dearly. We both treasure our kids, & the experience of raising them. This song, "Home", is what it is, simply beautiful!!
This is a really good song (I cried happy tears to)
This!
Be a little boy, be a father, be a husband......and very last, be a man. All the other stuff doesn't matter, just your family. That's how you become a man.
❤🙏
Blue October is so underrated. Justin's voice is so penetrating, it hits you deep and is incredible.
I DEFINITELY agree with you! THEY'RE AMAZING
YES!!!!
This should get liked a billion times
Not really
Dude, this guy's life story is exactly what I am going through now.
I know it's different, but it's cool that Justin is writing happy shit now. It's almost like us older fans have been on this ride with him.
yes, I agree!
I know I have been I'm in recovery myself
I never heard of them...and I'm really into music. Just came across them. I like him, and he's very passionate and emotional with his music!
I think that's what gets me most about the change, the emotional roller coaster that is BO. Bravo to them!
Tim Grossner true Tim...show's that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Where there is hope there is life!
10 years ago listening to Blue October was sadness. Now to see him happy lets me know that I can also find happiness. Suicide isn't the answer. Find your happiness, just like Justin did. There's always a new hope!
Your so right he has helped me with suicide and helped me to be clean for now 13 years I'm proud of you
This. I'm struggling so bad right now. I went impatient a year ago while I was still in the military. 11 different psychiatric disorders, genius IQ, and insomnia(both hypo and hyper). Getting out may've been just as tough, though. I just can't seem to find me right now.
1000 thumbs up
i needed to hear that today.
Thank u
@@pwnzyouinlumby
I'm sending love and light.
I hope you're ok. 🌟
this song helped me get off of cocaine. it helped me realize i wasn't only losing myself but wife and kids. the first time i heard this song i decided enough was enough. 41 days sober.
Thank you for making songs that help people. I see the beauty in life again. I can honestly say this song helped save my life.
Justin Cruz just wanted to let you know I am proud of you. I'm an alcoholic and I hope that you are doing well 9 months later.
Justin Cruz - Much love to you.
Justin Cruz I believe in you! You can sit this man! You're an amazing person for even thinking this way!
Justin Cruz its been almost a year since you posted this comment. I hope i can congratulate you on 1 year sober
Justin Cruz, love ya neighbor.
No one gives blue October enough credit THEY ARE AMAZING
Very true but at the same time, I want to keep them as my little secret!
You are right!
You are absolutely correct they are the best by far.
It doesn't matter what they sing I get teary eyed! I love their sound but it hits in such a raw place for me. I'm never sure if I'm in a good enough place to listen to them. Love this song and can't wait to share it with my husband.
@@Pete_R63 Luckily they never became too commercialised. It takes a certain kind of soul to appreciate this music. If you've known pain, you will understand the music.
My wife and I are in the hospital right now getting ready to have our first child and this song makes my heart leap with joy with the fact that very soon I am going to be a daddy and will get to experience this love and bonding of a family.
Mr. Biggz Congratulations. It's an amazing beautiful ride.
Mr. Biggz
My girlfriend and I just had our first child 3 weeks ago and I can honestly say that I'm happy to be a father to my son and a soon to be husband for my girlfriend and it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. You can do it just hang in there and you will have an amazing family just like I do.
Congratulations to you and your wife.
Hope all is well with your baby 😁 know what you mean by this song such strong words!
Congrats
Congratulations
This song helped me tremendously in the darkest of times! Unfortunately it had a twist in my story. I played it for my wife before leaving to treatment for addiction letting her know this was the goal in my life. When i got out, however, she decided it was time to move on with her life.
I still listen to this song daily and continue my daily practice to remain clean and sober. The lyrics are a reminder of the things that can be possible living a clean life.
Damn 7 year later! I hope you're out there livin your best life.
my fiancé and i are getting married on our 9 year anniversary, we both have almost 3 years clean from meth and this is our first dance song!🖤
Congratulations
Very happy to hear that. Congrats and have fun!
Congratulations on your sobriety. Stay safe stay positive . If you guys can get through this together you can get through anything. 👍🔥 Justin has changed alot of lives 👍🔥
have a loving married life ahead
kayla eubank congratulations 🎊 n that awesome 👏
I found Blue October when I was about 13 or 14, the hardest part of my depression. At 27, I'm now married with the most perfect little 4 year old boy.
This song made me cry because things really do get better. Even if it takes a long time.
To anyone who is struggling, don't be afraid to reach out for help and please trust me when I say. Things do get better. ❤
There's something so beautiful and special about finally finding happiness after years of pain and depression. It's like those of us who have real demons like this get to experience a different kind of happiness when we get better than those who haven't been through it.
I sadly still havient conquered my demons bad shrink
15 years clean and sober GOD BLESS YOU
It is so beautiful out here in the wide OPEN COME SEE
@@chellemotsinger1200 you will. Never, ever give up
I've been through so many years of the up's and down's , having my husband of 17 years die in 2007...and it started all over again with my dad's death.
You have to keep strong...don't be like me. 😢
If you've listened to Blue October for a couple of years, Justin feels like a friend at this point. And as a friend, I'm glad to hear his doing better.
His story inspires me, I want to give up, tried of this pain, I will keep fighting
I've listened since high school 😍 I'm 31 now...absolutely love this song and all the other ones ❤️
Hugo Joubert yes !!!!! You’re so right! I was on their concert two days ago and I feel him like my friend much bigger !
We fall, we hurt, we learn, we love, we go on.
Welcome to the human condition.
WHO'S WITH ME 2023/08/01..WHAT A LEGEND!!....THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!😢❤
I have 3 months off opiods, for a while I lost my wife, my children, almost lost our home. I was a cop I got hurt and they sent me to pain management, I thought because I went to Dr's I wasn't a addict. Then I found Jesus waiting for me, I became born again. I put my life in God's hands stopped going to pain management started going to church and celebrate recovery. I'm blessed to say I have my wife back my children back and my savior back. This song is truly my life song. For anyone out there struggling your not alone, THERE IS HOPE.
Been where you were at the time of this comment! I have almost 28 months clean now and life is amazing! Hope your still fighting the good fight! Proud of you bro!!!
My husband is a cop and he refuses pain medication because he is so afraid of this scenario. It breaks my heart to see him in pain when he gets hurt.
That's the thing about THE Good News... it just keeps growing and getting better. Welcome home. Thanks for sharing your story & I now think of each believer like a pebble just tossed into the living water... going into the world and touching lives with their story and creating rings that ripple and will forever! And know that if you ever slip off the mountaintop the way we humans often do, now all you have to do is ask for help, and He'll have that many more people to send you! It's a beautiful connection. So glad you've made it! Keep Sharing Your Story! You never know who it's gonna touch or even save!!!! God Bless!
Why do you even do drugs to begin with? I'm not hating, just really would like to know why?
I was born with a hole in my heart. I can't even drink decaffeinated coffee before my heart explodes. I just don't understand why you people do that to yourselves.
I listened to this song over and over again when pregnant. I dont have this life for him yet, but one day.
I cried listening to this 8 years ago pregnant, hoping this could be my life. Fast forward 8 years...beautiful life and happy tears listening this time. If you can dream it, you can do it.
You will ❤
youll get there i really believe that
I swear Blue October is the one rockish soft rock alternative band I can listen to 24/7
agree
+Brandi M "rockish soft rock alternative band". Cringe. I guess we all get old.
Rob Hoffalicious hahaha sorry! I mean you gotta agree though Blue October hasn't really stuck with their original genre as they continued making music.
allll day errrrday :)
+MUSICismylover77 H-town represent!
I'm 28 years old. My parents as well as my grandparents are deceased. I am single with no kids and I am a single child.... and yet, this song is absolutely amazing to me... I guess it's more of a dream for me :)
💕☝
+brooke ☺
+Richard Banger how the hell can u talk like this? who the hell do u think u r? Cus amak sharmot!
this dude throwing himself a pity party, fishing for sympathy. spray on 'em lol
+Richard Banger dude thats not cool bro the old me would track you down and kick your ass but i have changed you are a soulless and heartless pos
Whenever this comes on the radio, I smile, and then I start to cry. I love Blue October so so much and I am so glad they came out with this new album. How does this not have a billion views and comments yet?
because they aren't gross and showing naked chicks.
We know what a good band is... :)
this song makes me smile and i can't help but sing it when i'm drivin'. i agree - how do they not have a billion comments and views yet?! it's amazing to me what WILL have all the hype.......and it isn't shit! oh well. guess that means we'll just hafta keep buyin' the albums and listening.
I do to it reminds me of the funeral that I went to and then I cured my heart out
fectk
I like this
Amazing to see how far Justin's came since Hate Me... Living a clean & sober life, living for every moment he gets to enjoy now w/ his family & friends! Plus, the music he makes is so amazing & inspiring!! Truly an underrated band!!!
I just don't understand how this song isn't more popular. It is by far one of their best.
Right!? I love the progression away from the darker stuff too. They kept all the emotion and talent but changed the subject matter.
I completely agree
too "emotional" for the "hard rock" stations Im sure..... :( gets me teary eyed everytime i hear it.
I've been on this journey, from "hate me" to here. Still fighting myself. Trying to find happiness. This song gives a little light in a dark world.
Real happiness isn't found, it's created. Make your own happiness. I wish you all the best.🙏
s associate sasst up jki ic boo xd baa co ?lot
Always focus on the good in your life not negatives it's 100% the little things like he's signing about that make it all worth while

Justin is a wonderful pick me up, and an amazing person. Hope you are doing well. 💙
My dog passed away this was her favorite song!!
Girl, I love you and I've been going to the same thing. Don't worry you get through it all!
Most perfect song for a very special Man. He gave and did everything for his family especially his daughters wife and friends. Very special song. I will always miss you my Brother.
i have not heard of this singing group/band. But when i heard the song HOME and i reviewed the video , I can tell that the lead vocalist has put all of his feelings into the song, and that i can FEEL the emotions that he brings to the audience. I do love this song.
Blue October are mostly known for their big hit "Hate Me" which is a depressing, angry song. Most of their songs deal with thoughts of suicide, angry or depression related themes. However, this album and Sway tend to be more upbeat than their previous. I welcome the change.
That is what I've always loved about this band. I can feel with each song. You can tell the music comes. You can hear the emotions behind them. They are pure and raw in so many ways.
Yes! Each and every word you can feel from Justin - that is what makes this band so amazing. There isn't another band like them.
blue October is great band. watch for my brother live!!
Karen, if you ever get the chance to see them in concert, take it. You feel every emotion he feels with each song. They're absolutely amazing.
One of two songs I played constantly while pregnant with the baby I thought I'd never be able to have, she's almost 3 now and this song still brings a tear to my eye
Pregnant with my rainbow baby right now I also never thought I’d have. This comment brought tears to my eyes. I’m so happy for you.
U made a baby that will grow work suffer and then die.. all cuz u wanted it u made something that has to live and die
My 3 year-old is having brain surgery in Feb. The last few months has been crazy for our family. But once again, my husband is the one ready with the humor to make me laugh through all the tears and frustration. He is my rock, and the kids know that we are in this together. He chooses everyday to be the most amazing father and husband I could ever have asked for. This song nails everything. I love Blue October. How do they always release the perfect song at the perfect time for me?!
said a prayer for your precious baby, "with the good Lord willing" may your baby be comforted and have a safe and easy surgery and recovery....keep trusting in our Lord:)
God bless your little one and your family
Hope yoy pulled through
Hope your baby is okay
Realy hpe everything wrked out for you all
I am 35 years old , married 12 , 5 yr old son 3 yr old daughter , and knowing that my wife saved me from absolute disaster in a cocaine habit about 10 years ago , this song is absolutely our anthem, and we dance in the kitchen in the pail moonlight often , thank you for being a beacon of hope
Wtfe
To me this song is the kind of hope that can break even the deepest depression. It reminds me of why I have to stay alive. For my family, for the little things. Thank you Blue October FOR REMINDING ME TO KEEP FIGHTING.
Update, Shared with me family and they love it just as much as i do.
That’s awesome to hear Leslie❤️
Why can't there be more songs like this? This is when you really enjoy the music. When it is about love and is up-lifting. It makes you think of those you love.
Indy Fiorito There are plenty search deep. Its worth the journey
I was
Late because I was in jail for dwi w jess dusty n marilyn
The first time I heard this song was the day after I found out my husband cheated on me.....I remember sobbing on the floor, wondering if I would EVER know the meaning of "family" and "home". Wondering if I would ever find someone who loved me and my son despite our baggage.
Fast forward almost a year and I'm almost divorced & literally fell into a love story with a man who makes me feel every word of this in my soul.
I listen to this and smile now ❤
My highest appreciation for your kindness .At this difficult time, it’s so nice to feel appreciated thanks for been a great fan keep it up while I bring more interesting movies to your way🌹🌹

Blue October
My son got married last night and this is the song he played for our Mother-Son dance because he knows how deeply this song touches me. The first time I heard it I told my husband it reminds me of us and our family. Literally my favorite song of all time!! 💙💙💙 Of course I bawled while singing every word. M💜
Awew
Love is All around u
You know what's neat? I've scrolled through a lot of the comments for this video and all of them are positive, not a negative word in the lot. Rare.
Joe Buddemeyer its a beautiful thing!
Joe Buddemeyer.
bob si dog. Soooo why are you here listening to it?
bob si dog since 2001
I think thats really neat too... Love the positive energy flow in here...Its the music... It feeds the soul...and its Gooood~!!!
I love how he is so proud of his family and friends. What a beautiful marriage.
Hearing this song after hearing "hate me" makes me really hope he's finally living the kind of life depicted here. That hes the picture of what the other side of addiction and/or depression is, that the eternal struggle to laps or ruminate is manageable.
WowooqA opp wzz
Wow, what a turnaround! Congratulations! I love your music. It so moving and so much emotion. I am so happy to see you in a better place !
It's so funny because I just listened to both songs in the same order as you, and both made me cry in totally different ways.
True
You can totally tell he is. He puts himself into his music so genuinely.
October 2024. Whos here, still hits hard
Here and always will be ❤
Yeah. Happy Halloween 2024 buddy
Commenting here for us to come back every year and rejoice
Will always be one of my favorites!❤️
Saw them in KC first time last August. Such a beautiful show.
It's incredible how we undervalue the most important things in life like family, children, being with someone you love and who loves you. Love moves the world. Thank you for reminding me once again.
Yes, Yes Yes!!!!!!
True
That's the truth but mankind has worked itself to where the 1% live in a worry free luxury while the rest of us see to it they do
Totally agree!!!
im one of the 99% who struggle to make ends meet, works too many hours and watches the 1% take year long vacations.
That has absolutely no bearing on being happy and appreciating what you have.
I am so happy with my family. My wife is amazing, beautiful, supportive and I constantly find happiness in her pleasure.
My children are funny, brilliant, talented and they are all a constant source of pride in my life.
Everything I do, I do for them because they make me happy and that makes me happy.
Hubby dedicated this to me after work yesterday, he made my day, 20 years together and songs like this give us hope. Thank you Blue October
+Beautiful La Ceiba This comment makes me smile.
commitment and true love is what makes life so beautiful. wouldn't you agree?
Just do it already,, you know you miss him too!!!😢❤
As much as I want to call her, it isn't worth it
As much as I want to call her, it isn't worth it
Damn dude! This is awesome! I got out the joint 9 years ago now. 4 kids, good job, loving wife, a good relationship with my mom and dad, real FRIENDS. I've never looked back. Not to say I don't still have some deeply rooted struggles with certain things but my boys and my wife are my favorite things in life. My youngest is 3 and the way he watches me and does everything I do makes me stay on point with my life. Words don't describe that kind of love that I feel but your face in this video says it all! I'm so genuinely happy to see others break away from the darkness that haunted them!
That's awesome! I hope all is still well in your life!
Be strong brother, family is everything. You are a lucky man!
Keep up the good work
@@JeffTiberend didn't forget about you love eveone supporting people living with cat gave birthday beautiful 10 kittens cute friend hope fantastic weekend pary you family friends safe.
Just don't hold regret my friend. You would be who are now without those PAST struggles.
I've followed this band for as long as i can remember, since their first album, even when they weren't officially a band and went by another name, and every year i'm more and more proud of them. They're the best band there is, the most honest, raw and beautiful, genuine group in the world. I'm so glad they're reaching a little more mainstream recognition this song/album. They're so wonderful.
i hear ya..
i couldn't have said it better myself
*Army detected*
Shhmoee j
The Last Wish was there old name, I wasn't born, but I discovered them when Approaching Normal came. I own every song by them, published and non-published. Amazing band and their story.
Powerful! "I can't wait to see what's around the corner... Only care in the world is that our kids are all right. Daddy loves Mama and Mama loves him... Tomorrow we get to do it over, again!"~Great message to send to your kids (& the one you love!)! Thank you, Blue October!!!
poop pool
I just seen Justin two nights ago. He was in such a great mood! The last time I seen him he hardly wanted to talk. He is getting better and better with his mental health. This song inspires me so much. I dont have kids but thats not the point... the point of this song is to love and appreciate the little things you have and the fantastic people in your life and build a "home" from your heart rather than from money and greed.
Edit: guys, the blue October account responding in the comments is spam. Dont acknowledge them lol
O me
Beautiful
Hopefully that's not true and he's doing great. Last time I heard how he was doing it was great. I know his father is sick but he's being very active on Facebook and doing Zoom meet and greets
Well said & it was Beautifull💜❣️
So So very well put😍❤️❤️❤️ I am in the process of shedding my tough skin and I will say it has been painful but I know that it is something that is going to be well worth it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 God help me.
So nice to watch this band grow, from 2006 Hate me, to how happy this song is to be so positive. I've grown as well and I'm still here. Good for you Justin and family, Good for you blue october. Glad to see we are all still here, because we have all lost some way to young. The answer is not in a pill or the bottom of a bottle. It's family, friends, laughs, comedy, and good times. Keep your head up people, you got this.
Years ago I was going through one of the most difficult times of my life, I had just lost my kids. Blue October was playing in Omaha Nebraska. I went but the fire marshal said too many people had shown for the concert it was a small venue. Very few stayed after that, I was one of them standing outside in the rain. After the show was over and everyone had disbursed I finally got to go inside. While I was standing at the bar ordering a drink you walked behind the bartender to go out the back carrying a beautiful curly haired little girl she couldn't have been more then 3. A precious moment I never forgot, seeing a superstar being a good dad. I came to hear you play but got so much more. Thank you.
I live in Omaha n was there...god bless you!!❤
im about to be 15.. probably no one i know listens to music like this because its truth and no one is real anymore. the world we live in is a cruel place, and relationships are no longer about love. i doubt anyone will notice this but its just something i felt needed to be here. we put all we have into the newer way and we drain ourselves of the ability to see what real love could and should be. not many people have true honest love in their lives and this song is just how things should be. i love blue october i always will, and i hope they release more songs like this❤
destiny vanbuskirk awww sweet girl my kids are your age and listen to it.. I'm old lol but listen to it.. I noticed your comment and hope you continue to love music
You are wise beyond your years. Don't let this world change you. I know it seems dark and cold but this song is proof that beauty can still be found in the most unexpected places. Im twice your age and I have to tell you that your comment gave me hope for the future generations. I'm sorry you had to find out at such a young age that things aren't really what we thought they were. It took me a lot longer to figure it out. The important thing is to remember that if you keep the attitude you have and pass it on to your children then you can change this world for the better. Thank you for restoring my faith in the younger generation. We need more young people like you. 👍👍👍👍
carl pls stop... People don’t define who you are. You are Master and Commander of your destiny. Hold steadfast and stay true to who you are. There are still people that still believe in family, faith and love.
carl pls stop I see u friend. It's ok
Beautifully said
"We found our home" "something we can build for years" This is the greatest goal anyone can have. Some very powerful lyrics. This song will help keep your eye on the ball. Nice one Blue October!
❤️
I would sing this to my daughter while I was pregnant with her (almost 6years ago). It’s always just been me and her, and she’s the reason why I’m still standing strong today
The lyrics “tomorrow we get to do it over again” are still something special. You know those days that are so good you never want them to end, and when they do, you look back and wish you could do it all again? I love those memories.
Also says there is sooooo much more to see in life so dont give up
Might have been tought
It will get better
The lyrics display a deep understanding of what childhood is like... for a child, seeing and knowing that your parents love each other (as well as you), you can have peace and comfort and the kind of childhood every child deserves... no stress and fear and burdens keeping them from fully enjoying and loving life. The best line is, "we get to do it over again". That is childhood exactly, as it should be anyway. Life is simple, and every day is new... they just want to do it all over again, there is no boredom in repetition if what is being repeated is at it's heart good.
I don't ever recall my parents willingly being in the same room. They never showed any care for each other.
Jenna Drake sorry to hear that Jenna hope things r well with you 🙏
Wow! This gave me chills and made me cry happy tears. Just wonderful! So glad you are in a better place Justin🙏🏼
love these guys........I don't have kids (that I know of....lol)......but....I could always relate to his addiction......it's a lot long battle......goose bumps listening to this and knowing he's doing better 😎
AMEN🙏
i get goosebumps listening to this music too!
this song is really inspiring
me too, brings tears....by far one of my favorite songs ever of the whole catalog!!!!
my thoughts exactly, hearing the start it had me smiling then I started tearing up.
JUSTIN THANK YOU FOR BEING AT AN CHURCH I HAD BEEN AT "J" YOU HELPED ME AT AN LOW TIME AND HAD SHOWN ME HOW I TOO NEEDED LOVE FROM GOD TOO THANK YOU
Folks... the valley and the peak cannot exist without each other. Blue October sings a lot about the valley, but the peak needs love too. This is part of the journey and deserves to be celebrated. I love it with all my heart.
Seeing the fruit of the Spirit show up so beautifully in Justin's life is incredibly touching to see. We are all blessed that he showed a window into his soul, a happiness that is made all the sweeter because of how much he appreciates it after all the suffering he endured. This is a treasure beyond words. Thank You, God.
amen!
@Megalopolis2015 be my friend forever? Lol
God is so good. What a blessing to the Lord ♡♡♡☆☆☆
u hot girl
What set this off from every other video ive seen.. is the personal touch of all ( except one, i know why...) the members ... this song isnt just one persons love of home, its the beautiful dream they all share togather... and how each and everyone of them are a piece of it. Family.. friends, all the little things in life that make a home.
S
Why is CB not in this video?
+Donna McCubbin It's only for present band members.
He left the band for more personal reasons. Facebook says it all for the most part.
I thought he came back for this album though.
Justin you got through the battle with God carrying you and inspiring the rest of us to move forward
I guess it’s my turn to make a comment. My mom died almost 6 years ago.
While she was here, Earthside… she loved listening to you guys. She followed y’all and was so proud of how far you all came.
We played this song at both her funeral and viewing.
Thanks for existing and making music. You really gave her a reason to smile, and I get to feel her when I listen to your voice.
Our foster kiddo loved this song. He became unsafe and was removed from our home yesterday, permanently. We're heartbroken as we loved him so much. Im just crying listening to this on repeat.
"Home" reminds me of how I feel now being a recovering addict. Love Blue October. Always have. Grateful for this song. God is great.
Just found this on UA-cam... 🌹 I've been struggling with depression and this song came up in my feed... Someone wanted me to hear it. Thanks 🙏.
Listening to this song makes me wonder what it would have been like to grow up with a family like you described in this song. My parents were always fighting. The lyrics "Daddy loves momma and momma loves him" hits me really deep and I truly hope my son feels like this song is how his home was when he grows up. Thank you for making beautiful music.
I feel you. My father was mostly absent. When he was present he was abusive. I wondered for years what it would have been like to have a loving father. Now I’m at peace with it and think …good thing my mom had enuf love to cover his lack of it. She died unexpectedly two years ago next week and my heart aches for her every minute of every day.
My heart hurts for both of you. @stuff2047, I am so sorry for your loss. That is always a tough loss, especially when it is unexpected and sudden.
As someone who grew up in an abusive home, I have always longed for the same thing. Today, my husband and I just work hard to break those cycles and give this song to our children and ourselves.
Sending you thoughts of love and peace.
Your mom sounds like a beast! In the best way possible.she is with you everyday,don't ever doubt that
I had a torturous childhood as well.. I completely understand. That's exactly how I felt listening
For me its about this is what I want for my kids
This song is beautiful and just makes me feel so good! I'm disabled and in a chair and when this song comes on, I can't help it and just start "dancing" and singing...oh and smiling, of course!! So happy that you're happy, Justin!! That alone would make this song awesome, but it's also universal and speaks of the things that truly matter in this life! God Bless You All!
God bless you😘😘💜
Only took once to hear and started bawling. my husband and i got into drugs heavily in the beginning of our relationships and everyone trying to rip us apart but amongst everything and everyone around us, we stayed true to each other. got clean, have three beautiful babies together, got married and now here we are keeping our family tight and most important priority!!! and even though we had a lot of rough patches, the dances in the kitchen to no music were my favorite moments, knowing no matter what we were gonna be ok!!!
Cecily Cook. Here I am a total stranger. Wanted to say I'm very proud of you both. Keep Clean. Hold them babies close. Love them unconditionally, always.
Dance...on.
I just heard this tonight, I'm still fighting through alcohol addiction, but it's getting much better, music, support system gets me through. I'm proud of you both, keep on keeping on. That's my motto.❤
My husband and I recently bought a "Home", so we could live like in this video. We have been through hell for the past 6 months, but we have found our heaven here on Earth, together! Our love has helped push us through all the struggles we encountered, so bless our love always, 12 years together and 7 of those years married. He is my ancher and I am his, Framber Forever, Fred and Amber!
It's interesting to see a person and a band evolve over the years based on what life has thrown at them
+James Halfhorse The sign of true artistry; interpreting life through the prism of their work.
And sometimes it fits... it just does. Hate Me came out in a very hard time in my life. A lot of loss. Home comes out at a time where we are focused on rebuilding our lives, on home and while things are not perfect me and mine are very optimistic.
I met them backstage, met their fam too. At their first big show in Houston. Their music hits the heart 💜 amazing people. Amazing music. Beautiful.
That's so cool yes🎉😊
Yeah right🙄
I love redemption stories! Beautiful song of what matters. Best to you Justin, your family and band! May God bless you all.
Thank you Justin for being an inspiration to others!! Your babies are beautiful… they have your eyes!!!
So in love!!
Gorgeousness says it all. Good music is my therapy 😌. How often do you listen to good music?
This reminds me why I love this band.
yessss.
rock on
totally!
Yeah!
+BennyCriss12 this reminds me of Justin Bieber...
This song makes my heart burst with happiness. My husband and I danced to Home on our wedding day...08.12.16 ❤
You guys are my go to when I'm feeling down. 5 years since my last suicidal thought. I grew up listening to you and I have no intention of stopping.
Was he ever suicidel
I love you
I pray to lord that you never get such a thought again.
I'm 32 and came from a broken home. My loving caring mother passed away from cancer when I was 13 and my dad just abandoned us after. He wasn't the best dad, but he worked a lot and put food on the table for us. My older siblings took care of us younger ones after he left.
I had stopped crying to sad songs in my early 20's and thought I had overcome my childhood trauma. When I heard this song for the first time I cried like never before and finally went to therapy for help.
I still cry when I hear this song, but I'm doing better now more than ever thanks to this song.
Justin performed at my church this morning. He was amazing! His story and song afterward was so spellbinding that it brought the crowd to tears!
Angel of death He performed at Lake Hills Church in Northwest Austin with just one other performer this past Sunday morning 1/7/17 for the 9:00 and 11:00 service. I was there, I'm a member of the church. His story was spellbinding and his performance left not a dry eye in the house. I could possibly track down a video if you like?
i believe you bc this song has a christian music vibe to it
jchilds2003 Thank you. This guy is amazing live. He leaves it all out there. His story is amazing. He spoke of being at rehab and praying for God to give him a sign and he recounted that a bee came down and kept buzzing around him and then dived into a barrel of poison. He felt that God was telling him that he was that bee. I'm telling you that the whole crowd was hushed and in tears after that.
I am 60 years old I have been listening to you for a while this is my favorite song ever because you look happy and you are singing about the things that make us all ...sing
Hate me was the start. Home is the redemption.
Bingo
Slow down, baby, stop growing up so fast. You're 2 going on 20 and I don't want to realize later that now is the best part of watching you grow up.
I'm so glad Justin looks so happy. He's such a wonderful artist.
thats exactly what I thought as well!
+Michael Bush I agree after everything he has been through it gives me hope for my situation ... I know the heartache of dealing with some one who wont let you see your kid and when she does it ends in constant accusations . To see him come out of it and able to smile makes me hopeful for me and my daughter .
daddy loves mama and mamma loves him tomorrow we get to do it over again.
I wish that was my parents but I grew up with nothing
I don't know if the actual band reads this but i want to thank them. My mother passed 6 days before christmas this year. A few friends took my mother to see your concert and to meet you earlier last year or 2019. When she passed she still had a picture of the concert as her phone background. It meant the world to my mom to meet you at a meet and greet. I just want to say thank you for being an important part of my moms life and giving her so much inspiration to be the person she wanted to be.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I hope you are able to find peace with the memories that you hold in your heart . Until you see each other again♥️
I can't wait to hear more of this voice, this music, this magic. I love coming back to past songs and seeing their talent and growth through the years.
This is one of my favorites. The classics like into the ocean and hate me as well. They're all my favorites 😭 let's be real. ❤
There’s nothing not to love about his songs… so dammnn pleasant to the ears 😊
Wow
It's great to hear Justin writing happy songs and feeling the chills through his happiness.
This is what winning the battle with soberly looks like😍❤
Like
True story been there and still sober
@@dominicg9390 Good for you man!
Thanks 3yrs in July 😁😁😁😁😁😁
"I can't wait to see what's around the corner, I can't wait to soar" makes me smile everytime
This was my song for my kids dad and I. I thought if we could just get clean this would be us... I finally left Two years ago after I don't know how many time I had gone back. He's in jail and getting worse and I celebrated 3 years clean yesterday 10 months off subs all on my own. I worked in a rehab for a year and I'm now working with Autistic kids with amazing benefits weekends holidays off. My kids are thriving and I can finally listen to this song except it has a whole new meeting. My kids and I are thriving only care in the world is my kids are alright and I'm alright, not where I wanna be but better than where I was..
Amber, I love this comment!! Keep moving forward!! Ironically I'm a psych clinician with an autistic 6yo boy 💙
Every song that Justin sings just grabs your soul... That voice is a gift for sure... 🥰 I love you Blue October...! My Favorite Band of all times...
When someone asks me what I want in the future or what happiness looks like to me, i always point back to this song. Thank you for being a light in this dark tunnel.
I listen to this song almost everyday. I have been a fan of yalls since Hate Me. I still listen to all your music. But this song just uplifts my mood so much. My boyfriend and I are talking about getting married and I told him this is my wedding song because everytime I hear it, I'm just so happy and thankful for my family and the support I have. I love this song.
Omg!!! My new favorite song. This song is my life after 23 years of marriage.
me to ! my wife of 27 years is asleep in the recliner beside mine . its 2:17 am . im nocturnal ! haha !! i have 2 grown sons . both married and i will be a granpa this month ! my youngest son is 25 and my daughter in law is gonna have a boy ! this is whats a trip since i agreed with your post , drum roll please..... they picked his name last month ! it is " Eli " wow !
I have listened to Blue October since I was like 8. I'm now 20, married and with my first baby. I hadn't listened to it in maybe a year. My baby was asleep and me and my husband were dancing in the kitchen. This song started playing in my head out of nowhere and I just cried, looked at my husband and said "this is what I have always wanted." This song is part of my life sound track:) love yall
I remember when 94.5 the buzz aired this song for the first time. since I'm in houston we seriously heard it first. Justin was in studio and everything. I had to pull over and just cry
Stephanie A. Waters omg yessss! i heard it on the buzz too and i fucking literally had to stop driving because i was bawling!
Stephanie A. Waters did you just plug 94.5 the buzz lmfao
Stephanie A. Waters lol I was singing the fuck outta it on 59 south windows down to
jsjjsjsjshbich
me too! driving home with my kids in the car and had to pull over to a CVS to listen to it and it hit me hard. You could feel Justin's happiness resonating through the song.
Wow the tears..being a single parent hits home. only care is my kids are alright. Kids and i dance in the kitchen alot.
This song brought me and my husband back together after almost separating when mental health and PP issues became too much. We made it our wedding song.
Not going to lie, Dalton Rapattoni is the reason I started listening to this band and I'm so happy I did because they're so good.
Same :)
I have been a fan for almost 7 years now and I am so proud and so thankful to see this video. Justin, you look so happy lately and seeing your bright posts on social media always makes my day. I've been with you guys for a while now and while I have loved every musical evolution that you guys have gone through, I am so happy to hear this bright, happy song. You have helped me through some of my darkest times and this song means so much to me. Justin's smile makes me so happy to see! I will buy the new album the day it comes out as I have done with all the others. Thank you for making music that speaks to so many of us. I wish you guys all the happiness in the world!
I've known these gents forEVER and to hear and see happiness surging out of Justin is such an amazing thing. He and this band are proof that music is healing.
This song was at my wedding! I was pregnant with my first child and so excited to start my family and my forever home! Two kids later and 5 years married! I am beyond blessed ❤️ I love you Alex!!!
I remember way back when, when I was depressed. and I would listen to Blue October to make me feel like I wasn't alone... Way WAY back when (seems like a life time). and it was strange how every time my feelings changed I always went back to Blue October, and I felt like I was on the same ride. Now I am... happy with my life in a way I can't explain, I am engaged and everything seems so right its impossible to explain how i escaped those bad times of loss and suffering but here I am.. and here Blue October is... Somehow still being a source of amazing empathy, and joy. Look.. I write... I.. do stuff... Its not my passion for life but its a side thing for me.. Im so glad, SO GLAD that performing never became a side thing for you guys. You are amazing.
don't hurt... forgive ..forgive.. laugh........ tennis anyone... Michael.....
Same here!
This comment will be lost. But just like us, BO was going through some stuff. I was going through depression while playing Halo 2 and listening to Hate Me. Now in 2017 I'm happy. Im so glad
I made it through! Just like you! Congrats man. We made it!
NinjaSkittlez ditto!! Saved my life... Worry List.. now in love with life... and HOME because of Blue October. JUSTIN THANK YOU!!!!
NinjaSkittlez I just found there music. I suffer depression. I have sczoaffective which is bipolar type which is hearing voices plus depression. Ptsd, borderline personality disorder.
"Home"
I'll smile if I want to
I'm not afraid, gonna flaunt it too
What a glow when you're living true
Yeah
I'm living for the right now
I had a few friends show me how
I take a deep breath and blow it out
Let it go
But listen I-
I can't wait to see what's around the corner
I can't wait to soar
Baby, I lie awake and I watch you sleeping
thinking it's the little things that make a home
Like dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight
Only care in the world is that our kids are all right
Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
So smile at me, baby, take my breath away
With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say
That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
I feel like I'm gonna win
And I'm as proud as I've ever been
'Cause I'm surrounded with some good friends
Yeah, good friends, good friends
I'm forever like a tattoo, yeah
I got to stay sticky 'cause I gotta be the glue for
My girl, my friends, my home, family, I do it all
Truly I can't wait to see what's around the corner
I can't wait to soar
But, baby, I lie awake and I watch you sleeping
thinking it's the little things that make a home
Yeah
'Cause we'll be dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight
Only care in the world is that our kids are all right
Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
So smile at me, baby, take my breath away
With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say
That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
We found our home
Something we can build for years
The young and old
I'll be there to wipe your tears
We all get to see
Who we grow up to be
An anchor when in doubt
An ocean when in drought
We aim for it all
We lift up these walls
To make this house our home
Dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight
Only care in the world is that our kids are all right
Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
So smile at me, baby, take my breath away
With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say
That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
Dancing in the kitchen in the pale moonlight
Only care in the world is that our kids are all right
Daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
So smile at me, baby, take my breath away
With the good Lord willing, I'll be happy to say
That daddy loves mamma and mamma loves him
Tomorrow we get to do it over again
Thank you! Loved it.
The journey that Justin has made and the struggles he's overcome are so apparent from the evolution of his songs. I love it. Absolutely amazed everytime I watch Hate Me and follow it up with Home or Fear.
I also agree! It's amazing to see that change!
I have had a battle with trying to fill a void that never could be filled...lost my mother to pills...in 2012 I started heroin and today I have a life ...road has been rough but paying child support saving money paying bills and living true is so much more fulfilling than the treachery I put myself through before thank you Lord and this song gets me in tears like no other
