My youngest son was in a very dark place the past couple years and I played this for him, it quickly became “our song”. I remember all too well those moments when he was too consumed by the demons in his then 11-12 year old head to go to school, or even leave his darkened room. I’d play this and would see a glimmer of hope in his beautiful tear filled eyes. As a mom it killed me to see him in so much pain, but seeing the hope deep down inside him when I played this song gave me a glimmer of hope in the darkest of days and kept me strong for him.
This song in is simplistic message pulled me out of my darkness.. I felt like a kid again.. Completely made me laugh my butt off in the height of wanting to end my life.. I left my abuser and now my life is sooooo much better.. LOVE BLUE OCTOBER...
This song kept me up just enough to not become completely lost in depression. Hell, a lot of Blue October's music is getting me through some dark times.
Same here. I see you wrote this 7 years ago but I feel the same way and I’m scared to tell anyone but I thought I might say that i hope your feeling better noe
My dad showed me this when I was 9 or 10 and we listened to it everyday for a while and then we stopped. I didn’t hear it for about 4 years and when it started playing in the car today it brought back a ton of memories.
I saw Blue October in Yokoska, Japan. They came out and played a free show on base for us. My first tome seeing them live and they played alot of Approaching Normal songs, including this, mixed in 18th floor balcony, Into the ocean and Hate me. I found my soul in Justins lyrics and have been a huge fan ever since.
My friend told me to look at this because we are doing a school project which involves making a dance up to a great song, so now we are definitely doing this!
I went to Blue October's concert in Spokane and I was hoping they would play this song (they didn't) , but they did play "Balance Beam" and "The Getting Over it Part" which are now 2 of my favorite song by them!! :) Love you Blue October
My dad met my mom when i was 3 i quickly became so close to him im now gonna be 17 I left to move in with my friend's when i was 15 i havent heard from him in 2 years after his heart attaks he gave up im sure hes still out there but this was one of our songs I love you dad 🤧😪😥😞
I start every morning with this song, I can't help but smile, do a little dance and sing along! Makes for a great mood and way to start the day.........
@@sammythefox1057 Lol, thank you, I am having a great day 💜 I have not sadly. I have been going thru a lot and struggling a bit these days, so I think that I shall start again in the morning. Thank you so much for bringing me back to this, I think I really needed this today!!! I hope you have a great night and maybe you'll join me in a new morning routine!!??
It really makes me smile to hear a song from them that has a positive message...most of there stuff I relate to all to well with because of the pain and depression involved in it. It's like a best friend going through the same crap as you turning around to tell you "shit sucks, but it'll be okay"
Blue October is the soundtrack to my life which is addled by severe depression and anxiety. Their music has made me feel like SOMEBODY understands when I was at my most alone.
I actually find it very easy to believe that the 4 people who disliked this didnt do it on purpose. How could you not like this song? Its just a great song. No matter who you are really.
I've been through some really hard times lately,and this song says it best! Things will get better and... listen to the lyrics. Positive song, written by someone with bipolar disorder.
I struggle with anxiety and depression and have for years. My husband played this song for me a few years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes. He may not be the most romantic in his words, but he always knows the perfect song to play for me
I'm sitting outside with my nieces and nephew. Listening to your songs make us feel like everything is going to be alright in our life. Love you guys 💞❤️😘
This song brings back good day with my nephews they were toddler's, and they would just sit there on the bed bouncing up and down and some times they would be on my back doing the same.god times
i heard about this song a year ago from someone with depression and normally im such a happy person but today i had the worst day of my life by far i cant even describe how bad it was im literally depressed right now but this totally just made me feel better & i think everyone reading this should remember that everyone is gonna have crap to deal with in their life & the stuff that happens to you personally just happens to be the stuff YOU have to deal with but youre not alone with your pain
The Miracle is that children seem to understand this idea so much better than we do as adults. As children we cry till it starts to feel better and as adults we refuse to shead those tears. Justin is an amazing person and Blue has no idea how luch she is to have him as a Father. C0ldSt33l
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! I like how they can do a bit lighter stuff sometimes, along with their HEAVY magical stuff as well. Justin is so dark n' dreamy, I need to comfort hug him bad. He's so intense n' dark he stole my heart. And that GD voice of his. WOW.
they still playing and have a newer cd . But you prop. already new that . Songs from open book is there latest. :) Yeah blue does , jump rope and a few others are my kiddos favorites.. She got to see them live at a all ages show in a park in vegas when we went up that way a few years back. Good times. Nothing like being on playground and swings then jam out to live jump rope song with kiddo on my shoulders. :)
Wow, so ein tolles Lied❤️🍀schön die Kids dabei zu hören🥰das erste Mal heute im Radio gehört-ein Geschenk, ich wurde gleich angesteckt zum tanzen/bewegen im Auto😄❤️😁dann zu Hause n paarmal hintereinander genossen-vielen lieben Dank wundervolle tolle Gruppe...eine wunderschöne Zeit wünsche ich Euch🥰💫🌈🎶💥
this is our family theme song. we have several foster children and this song is so fitting for where their lives have been and how life is in general. it's better than a hot cup of coffee in the morning! can't wait to see you live again....
One-a their best songs ever! Justin's such-a GENIUS and this whole album is PERFECTION. When I meet Justin I'm going to give him the biggest longest hug EVER. It will be eerily long, but still legal
Remember how you used to say "you couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day" No fuss when ya had to ride the bus You could add a little blush Just to paralyze your school crush Now your older and the weight upon your shoulder Makes the world a little colder No more hiding in the old days Be strong Don't give up hope It will get hard 'Cause life's like a jump rope Up down when it gets hard remember life's like a jump rope There'll be a bump there will be a bruise There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze There'll be a path that u will get to choose There'll be a win and there will be a lose You have to hold your head up high and Watch all the negative go by Don't u ever be ashamed to cry You go ahead Cause life's like a jump rope I want to tell u that everything will be okay That everything will eventually turn itself to gold Keep pushing through it all Don't follow, lead the way Don't lose yourself or your hope Remember life's like a jump rope
Thank you so much Blue October! My day was also off to a rough start and somehow I felt compelled to get on youtube and saw the new video. Being reminded that life is a jump rope is going to make my day so much better. Again, THANK YOU!!!!

When I was a toddler, I kept telling my dad to play this song over and over again on the radio. I spun in circles repeatedly lol.

This song brings back some memories I forgot I had...
This made me cry multiple times......
This song kept me up just enough to not become completely lost in depression. Hell, a lot of Blue October's music is getting me through some dark times.
Same here. I see you wrote this 7 years ago but I feel the same way and I’m scared to tell anyone but I thought I might say that i hope your feeling better noe
This was my anthem after my mom died, then my brother. It's hard to remember yourself, but its important.
I made sure this song was played at our wedding reception in May 2009 :)
Never applied the concept of this song to marriage but your comment was dead on! I hope your still holding on strong!
awe😍
Omg I’m definitely going to do the same
I love this song my dad played this when I was well before school and I'm 11 ahh good memories and still remember the lyrics 6 years later
KPHZX I listened to this all the time in the car on my headphones. Good times.
same!
How's 22 treating you?
My dad showed me this when I was 9 or 10 and we listened to it everyday for a while and then we stopped. I didn’t hear it for about 4 years and when it started playing in the car today it brought back a ton of memories.
One of the best songs ever
My dad used to play this song in the car when I was like 8. When I heard this I felt the most nostalgia I ever have...

wicked band and yet another wicked song : D
Remember how you used to say
"you couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day"
No fuss when ya had to ride the bus
You could add a little blush
Just to paralyze your school crush
Now your older and the weight upon your shoulder
Makes the world a little colder
No more hiding in the old days
Be strong
Don't give up hope
It will get hard
'Cause life's like a jump rope
Up down when it gets hard remember life's like a jump rope
There'll be a bump there will be a bruise
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze
There'll be a path that u will get to choose
There'll be a win and there will be a lose
You have to hold your head up high and
Watch all the negative go by
Don't u ever be ashamed to cry
You go ahead
Cause life's like a jump rope
I want to tell u that everything will be okay
That everything will eventually turn itself to gold
Keep pushing through it all
Don't follow, lead the way
Don't lose yourself or your hope
Remember life's like a jump rope
Andrew Cohen
Life is a f'ckn jumprope. I love this video, these words and the home movie style.
love that song...
just makes me smile like hell :D
Thank you so much Blue October! My day was also off to a rough start and somehow I felt compelled to get on youtube and saw the new video. Being reminded that life is a jump rope is going to make my day so much better. Again, THANK YOU!!!!
