      Seriously you are more than perceptive, you’re like PREceptive. Like when you anticipated there SHOULD be a violin solo at that part and how the audience connects … I’ve been to two blue October concerts and it is like going to church. You give energy to him/them. And they return it. Maybe it’s the other way around But please go to one. And do more of their songs!!

    I met a girl at a Halloween party in 2007. Blue October was the first concert I took her to a week after we met. The singer was struggling with addiction and divorce when the album was made. She didn't really connect with them like I was hoping she would. Turns out she was addicted to heroin at the time and was struggling to stop. When she told me, everyone told me to leave except my dad. I knew she was special and need help, so I stayed and tried everything I could think of to help. After about a year she had quit, and we got married five years ago. They were the first concert we saw after getting married and after our first anniversary. I still have that ticket from Nov. 4 2007

    Blue October is the greatest band that nobody has heard of. I've gotten to hang out with them before, and they're as good a people as they are musicians. If you want to go down their rabbit hole, "Come in Closer" and "Black Orchid" are some good ones to explore

    • @faserstostun
      @faserstostun Рік тому +2

      Without a doubt a hidden gem that deserves to be more widely regarded, but then again, it's nice to feel like you kind of have them to yourself. Almost every track feels personal and intimate - event the upbeat stuff. For an interest contrast in tone, I recommend Ocean, I Hope You're Happy, or Sway.
      Also, just found your channel - great stuff! Keep it up. ✌️

    As someone who has suffered from suicidal depression for basically my entire life, this song hits me so hard. The feeling of living for someone, someone who cares for you so much, someone who wants to see you happy, and someone who thinks the world of you.
    And all you can think of is how much you want them to hate you. How much you want them gone, not because you don't appreciate it, but because you cannot see the good they see in you. Because you cannot understand why someone will do their best to make you feel better, and be the person you can be. Hate me so you can see what's good for you.
    Hate me and abandon me, because I am a shackle that keeps you down. Hate me because your life will be better if I am not around.
    It's a desperate plea to be hated because in a strange, selfish way, you want to help them. It's a hypocrisy that is native to depression, and this song captures it in a way that I cannot possibly understsnd.

      Yup, very well said. When this song released, I was in the midst of the worst depression of my life. The first time I heard it on the radio, it shook me to my core, because I had never before felt *so seen*
      I still wrestle with depression every now and then, but I always know that I'm not alone. I hope you too find solace, and a better tomorrow.

    These guys are the *sweetest*. I went to a show with my friend, and we got to meet them. I was super shy at the time but Justin (lead vocalist) shook my hand and looked me in the eye to thank me for being there; like he was making sure I knew he was grateful, and I never forgot how earnest and kind he was.
    Anywho! Coal Makes Diamonds, Into the Ocean, Sway, there's so many great songs from them you should check out.

    Next song should be Fear, acoustic/live/album no matter which one you choose it will be great. Love this band from way back in the late 90's! You really cannot go wrong with any of their songs. Also, checkout their page and watch the live streams Justin and sometimes the whole band did during Covid. Justin will do cover songs acoustically and they are just beautiful, along with the words he speaks about recovery and helping his fans with recovery.

    I couldn't be happier right now with you, my to three bands of all time are Blue October, Tool, and System of a Down. Every single track these bands put out are amazing, they never phone it in, no fillers. I'm here for all of this.
    As far as a next song from these guys, I Hope You're Happy would be amazing, Jump Rope, Congratulations, Overweight, Into the Ocean, or if you want to go about as dark as you can, End.

    I liked this band when they hit the radio when I was in high school, and the themes of abuse and mental illness and addiction still hit home for me today. Can’t say that I’ve listened to them on purpose in over a decade, but it’s cool to see someone react to them.

    I remember my older sibling and I would listen to this as kids. We were living in a really bad home situation, just a few years ago we were able to get into a little bit more of a stable home life. But back then, this song was everything for my older sibling and I. We raised ourselves to be the people we are. I personally listened to this song as I viewed it for my older sibling to get out of the home we were in to live somewhere safer and healtheir. Better. I wanted them to hate me instead of love me so they would protect themselves and take care of themself instead of having to worry about me. And I truely wish I did more for my sibling. I used to listen to this song and cry to sleep. One of my most favourite songs

    Blue October- Razorblade, Overweight, You Make Me Smile, Say it.
    So many favorites, but these are the ones I think you should start with. I took into consideration your past reactions... at least all the ones I've seen(most of them). Hopefully you do more Blue October no matter what.
