I love this band I know everyone says all this but they have helped me a great deal. And all the stuff they touch on I don't think there isn't any body who can't relate to the songs
As a dad who suffers from psychosis I see how it affects my family, loosing them to my mental illness would kill me, Justin helps with every lyric. His Conquering of his addictions and mental health is inspirational and is a great idol of mine. Anyone suffering with issues please listen to his motivational video “what drives me” thank you Justin for sharing your deep emotions, you truly saved me
That’s it! I can’t do anything but full on support you, Blue October. There hasn’t been one song that I listened to of yours that I haven’t fallen hard for! Not a single one! I love your music and lyrics, and all that it does for me. 💙
I admire Justin's courage and the passion that he puts into his music. I'm not bipolar, but I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder. Thank God there is medicine to control these diseases. And he has the most beautiful eyes!
we first saw and met you when I took my girls to see you in 2005 at the saltair in Salt Lake City Utah, the crowd was smashing us and I had a hard time keeping my girls safe and you saw it n had the guards protect us for that I thank you! You sang to us often 😊 After the show as I walked with my daughters to my truck I looked around and my youngest angel was running along the building straight to ur bus on the side of the building we ran after her but she made it to you before I could stop her hahaha you are n were so kind and welcomed her,me & vanessa with open arms and just visited us I loved you for giving my daughters so much respect and happiness that day! From that day on my daughter angel had loved you and your music still till this day at 24 yrs old now she loves you and is devoted to you n your music she is married and has 2 children a girl 1 1/2 yrs old and a baby boy 3 months old, she now is raising my grandchildren with your music and videos, we moved from Utah to San Diego and she became a model for D.G.A Angels she is their favorite models and has a very tons of fans and is Low rider a few times, before she left home to start her married life in Tennessee her dad n I surprised angel n Vanessa with tickets to see you once more as a sisters night out one last time here in San Diego at the "House of blues" she gave you 1of the calendars she is in but she forgot to sign it 😞 Well we always wondered if you ever noticed it. Anyways I want to thank you for keeping my daughters safe at their very first concert and spending time just talking to us that day I hope we can run across you again some day and thank you for impacting my daughters life so much angel adores you till this day ❤️ Not that you will ever read this but who knows you just might 😊 Much love and respect to you my friend God bless and take care! Julie petersen and Daughters!
+ihlbit1 God bless you as well! Before she left to Tennessee to start her family I surprised Angel n Vanessa with one last concert together here in San Diego it was your concert at the house of blues she Angelina gave you a calendar that she is in and she forgot to sign it though! She still wonders if you still have it. She is D.G.Angels best models and he is begging her to come back lol!! I'm very proud of her! Anyways thank you for being such a huge part of our lives! ❤️ keep singing and may all the happiness life has to offer keep flowing your way ❤️ hugs &I luvs! Julie,Angelina & Vanessa we hope to see you again soon!
omg the part where he says "well there's three of us to think about now, in our show", talking about his daughter now too instead of before it just being about him and his wife...broke my effingggg heartttt.....one of the BEST songs I have EVER head..
I feel so sorry for Justin. This is such a blunt, and touching song that shows his suffereing. And he doesn't need some sad video to prove it, all he needs is the pain on his face as he sings his heart out.
Seems fitting that the guy who brought me back to this band will also be the one who makes their songs relevant for me.. Certain lyrics hit me like a .308 in the chest.. And yet I still will never regret our time together..
D-fest in Tulsa '09, you were singing "Into the ocean" and when you said "let the rain come down" it started raining. It was awesome! My brother got married that night and we all ventured to D-fest to post celebrate.. I got kicked out for standing next to an opening in the fence and yelling "You rock!" to you after you finished the set. a random security guard kicked me out, but I will always remember that show!
I can really feel Justin's pain...so happy and grateful that he made it through what he was going through..I know you help many people get through the darkness there are feeling...you should feel PROUD!!!!!
The song is about his daughter, Blue. As you can see he has her initials tattooed in the star behind his left ear. This is after his divorce/separation with his wife, and his fight with not wanting to lose his daughter. Such an amazingly simple video, no effects, no surprises, just Justin showing his love for his daughter. Incredible song.
I know this sounds bad but ever since I found true love in my beautiful wife I just can't listen to Justin anymore. I still love all his music and his emotion but I'm glad to say that I'm too happy in my own life to be depressed. Much love to all of you
Yeah im in love n all married kids etc And im happy but It doesnt remove my desires to hear Blue and reflect back on the harder times and appreciate the now for what it's worth
I do not see his music as depressing, I see it as resilient, I see him as someone who has overcome every pain imaginable to bring art and beauty to the world. He is an inspiration, and has courage and strenght that most people never aquire.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live on their last tour on vacation with one of my best friends whose been a fan for years. As someone who knew barely any of their material the show brought me to tears. I'm looking at buying tickets for a local show that I'd have to go to alone but I know I'd feel anything but alone.
Kaitlin Lajoie it’s so true. The crowd at these concerts are amazing. Such great people who all share something in common. I was amazed at how amazing the crowd was. I met and became friends with a couple. It’s a special experience 100%.
heartbreakingly raw and beautifiul. Especially if you have ever been through the same situation where your child ended up having to be split between two people and you never meant for it to happen...too young, too stupid, too unyeilding. Lessons learned at the cost of hurting the one little being on earth that you care so much about are tough as hell to learn.Think long and hard before you do it to a child.
Blue October, and Justin Furstenfeld, have made life living with Depression, and Bipolar Disorder a little bit easier. They make me feel no so alone. When I'm struggling I listen to their music, and I know I'm not the only one dealing with these crazy ups, and downs, and these feelings that just won't go away. Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one struggling, and thank you for finding the words that I couldn't.
I can't believe the only songs that were ever played on "radio" were "hate me"(though 'hate me' was n still a favorite of mine.before smart phones,I bought the ringtone for 'hate me' & was disappointed it was only a snippet of the song;circa 2005 lol) and "into the ocean". I can't believe I have missed out on this amazing voice, talent, writing,amazing instrumentals and best of all the damn raw emotion he puts into it; It's not like most music that is so mechanical and all the same; this is so refreshing. where was i when this was out? lol obviously I have MISSED out on a LOT by not knowing this was out there. To think such bs music from other so called artists gets promoted..when Justin's voice is beautiful(perhaps because of the passion and emotion out into it) The music is so refreshing to not to be the same old blah****love: cara
Blue October, I doubt they'll ever see this, but the songs made by this band has helped me get through a whole lot of things that I wish never happened. I just want to say thank you for the wonderful music.
I watched the live verson of this song. Then this vid. I have a 4 year old daughter who is my entire life. I truly understand his pain. I honestly have not gotten into Blueoctober too much, but today the have won a fan. Great music, and great heart .
these guys always humble me. I've been a fan since 2001 when my sister dragged me kicking and screaming to a show in Odessa Texas. Best thing to happen to me.
To be fair to the woman who left him, it takes a very strong and courageous woman to put up with those of us who suffer from mental illness. Most people simply aren't equipped to deal with that. Not taking her side or anything.....this is just something I know for a fact.
Both me and my girlfriend have mental illness, we have been together for 3 years now. It's not easy, and there is always that risk that our issues will catch up to us and tear us apart. I think the biggest thing in any relationship is patience and empathy it is more important when dealing with someone who is mentally ill.
Yes, that is true. And also, if you have ever visit a show, you will know, Justin always tells background stories to every song. And now, that he feels well again, he admitted at the open book tour, that he took drugs and wasn't always loyal. So there have been many different factors that played a role. It is sad of course, because there is his daughter involved. This is always difficult for all sides. However I am truly happy for him, that he now is happy again with his second wife and daughter. Nevertheless he also almost lost her and started a therapy again, which finally was successful, also he didn't want to lose them again. Much love to all
I have found in marriage/relationship disputes where there is a child involved the man will always get the short end of the straw. The system is biased towards women when it comes to children and breakups.
DemonAMVs From the father's point of view (I'm a woman, a mother, not a father), I agree with you. Divorce/split ups create such a mess and yet are often necessary for the health of everyone. From the child's position, familiarity and consistency and stability is so necessary for healthy growth, so the 50/50 thing is just not a good option, imo. I have friends who "split" their kids 50/50. As an adult, my mind feels tweaked and heavy just thinking of my own life being split between 2 households. I feel for the fathers. I really do and yet I think of what the child needs. Of course a father could be the primary caregiver...and then that puts the mother in the position your speaking of. I wish there was a way where split-up parents could easily live next door to each other, around the corner, something, so the child has both parents and both parents have the child. I am blessed, in a weird, unintended kind of way, to be roommates with my daughter's father as of 1.5 yrs ago. We split when our child was born. Our child is 15 now. It's been rough all her years, but I hope that by living together these last years will result in healing and closure. I just found Blue October 3 days ago. I am blown away. I look forward to using his material to help her father and I heal up open sours. So much of his material parallels my/our lives.
Healthyocean I agree with the 50/50 thing, making a child move from house to house every two weeks is unfair especially if the parents life apart. If the parents lived very close together I could see it working though. The problem I have, is the father has no chance in hell of ever becoming the sole caregiver. The the current system the father can be wealthy middle class with his own big house, and the mother could be on welfare in a tiny government housing home, and she will still get the child. if that doesn't work she merely has to accuse the father of molesting the child, then he has lost no matter what he does. And that is how it is, I have seen families happy for decades, with a happy father and mother. When they break up all of a sudden the father is some evil abusive molester, he has no way of defending himself against the accusation, no evidence is needed. His children are tore from him, he is extorted for every cent he owns and his last resort is to put a gun in his mouth and end it. In Australia 21 fathers kill themselves as a direct result of our family court system a week. It's unacceptable but when you speak out against it, you are automatically a misogynist trying to "bring down women"
I discovered Blue October in 2006 right after the release of "Foiled". I've always enjoyed melodic music and instantly made a connection with the music and meanings. in 2009 Coincidentally 2 weeks after "Approaching normal" was released I had a split up with my Fiance of 6 years. credit that album for getting me through the hard times. I learned not only that we don't all have to be perfect, but that we can learn to overcome our faults. Thanks for helping this guy who wears his heart on a sleeve
im a 16 year old straight dude and Justin's music can bring me too tears :' ) its like he reachs into you and finds the parts of your life you have been hurt most and then he breaks your heart again and mends it properly :D
I love love this song!!!!! I heard it just after my world shattered with my fiance. This song fits our whole relationship from beginning, to current, to future. God brought this song to me to fill my heart and soul with hope, strength and joy. I love you baby! One day we will dance to this song at our wedding :)
VIP tickets. Can't wait. I think this band is so emotional, real, and I hope they go on forever. He has helped me so much with his lyrics alone. I don't care what anyone here says. Justin and Blue October are amazing.
And so glad for Justin turning his life around. Even though his songs of pain comforted. I am so pleased he's smiling and has a beautiful family now. He's an angel
ever sense my friend died .... iv felt numb,angry,and generally unpleasant to be around. I hate being around my self because of how I act and feel. I'm so angry at every one and I break down after my out burst.... blue October is helping me, it always has in the past but it really is getting me through this. I know that's not what this song is about but to me... I find something to relate to in each song...💜💜💜💜💜 I miss her so much and will fight to find out why,and who made it happen...
Benjamin Doggwiler it is good to feel feelings I suppose... it would be so much easier if you could shut them off. Putting my anger on other's Is'ent right... I hate when ppl put pitty on me, I'm not even family.... She was just one of thoes ppl who never gave up on you... She would smile even though there wasebt a reason to. when we were younger ,I was told I had no polar disorder from my doctor . Mild for my age but I had and still do have episodes. She just didebt care in a way was always there never gave up on me. I took advantage of that. I always new she would be there so who cared for what others thought ? as long as she wss there . Now hear I am , always mad,angry , my grades are suffering more then ever. I break down..... No one even knows what happened. We are all in the dark.... This song has nothing to do with my situation but if you take away the parts he talks about his daughter... I feel its what my situation is. I never knew I'd lose someone who never let go. I'm not emotional stable it feels like.... and I hate it ..
+Mymindmaywonder im sorry for what u are going thru, this song really helped me get thru some really hard times along with many other Blue October songs. I had a friend overdose 2yrs ago and this was one of those songs that i played everyday. i hope u find peace thru this bands music.
Lyrics I see the sun go down on the river I feel the wind blow, I would've stayed to gray I feel the air around you, it's kinda closing in Do you feel it fall or do you feel at all? I can. I see the world keep moving as I stumble They seem to move much faster than me And while I sit in my four cornered room, dividing hearts for our little girl While I can't be anything but who I am And I wish you'd stay Well that was the beginning of the two of us, the start of our show Stay stay stay No I would never have let go And I see the sun go up as your image And I feel the weight of your eyes as you stare I feel it all when you, when you first, when you kissed my lips You used to make me feel at home, you made me feel at home, you made me feel again Oh that's when you used to say will you stay and not let go That was just the two of us to think about, the stars of our show And you would say I wish you'd stay and I'd never go Oh I would never have let go! So take this heart of mine You've taken it a hundred thousand times But this time, this time I'm gonna take it with me I see the door close down behind you I watch your face turn from glow to straight gray I see the moon go up and it shines this glory on my face Who will know? Who will know? Who will know! How we would stay and we should stay and never go There's just three of us to think about now in our show, our show, our show And I think we'd stay, we'd just stay, and then we'd know That we should never let go oh oh Something to think about oh... in our heart of hearts Just look into those big brown eyes and you'd just fall apart Maybe we should stay, we should stay, at least she'd know That we should never have let go No, no, let go, go... oh I wish you'd have stayed I wish you'd have stayed...
Fan for life right here!!!! Watching & feeling the emotions in this song in 2018 & LOVE THEM MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY 💙 I just saw them in Dallas last night & it was the BEST SHOW & EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE 💙💙💙
This was by far the most depressing album they ever made. I can't listen to it every day, but I won't lie when I am so down I listen to it and it makes me happy if that makes any sense.
This is perhaps one of the best videos i've ever seen and one of the most emotionally charged songs i've ever heard. I'm ashamed to admit that I'd not heard of Blue October before hearing this on the radio a while ago. I've ordered Any Man in America but would welcome any recommendations of their other albums
Paul Naylor Honestly all of them.AMIA is by far the darkest. The follow up Sway is much more positive and shows a positive side not really seen before.foiled,and consent to treatment are how most people dive into Blue October.
Yes, sway is by far the most positive. While the whole album is amazing, FEAR, is by far the one that has spoke to me the most. Not broken anymore is a close second.
i have listened to Blue October since i was 8 and i'm turning 18 this year. I am so emotionally moved by them. They represent the biggest changes in my life. every time I hear one of their songs i just feel empowered to keep moving.
My girlfriend went to BuzzFest, and she got me Blue Octobers signature (all of them). . And I love it, because, they know just what to say, and are always on point. Everysong they make has a really amazing meaning. They are simply amazing, and have and still will play a big role in my life. That is all.
At least one guy in Poland is absolutely crazy about THE Blue October.I know you guys since last Sunday and i have to admit, that I found my number one band.Keep on!
So many songs, so much music that, in the end, says nothing. This, THIS IS REAL! Love these guys. They speak to so many. The feel for us. This is what we wait for. Thanks guys. We love you!
This song as tragic as it is has so much beauty in it. Your heart can not but feel every emotion that Justin expresses. It is a tragic beauty and one of the best songs of a human tragedy I have heard a long time. This man is tearing apart in this video and for anyone to make fun of it or dislike it is a show off inhumanity.
This is exactly what music is all about , reaching out to people pulling there heart strings making them think making them feel the passion behind the lyrics and music This is real music
I heard this song on the radio on my drive home. I was completely floored by it. The artistry in the music and the emotion and poetry in the lyrics...Amazing!
Both me and my Girlfriend love Blue October, and whe we broke up she refused to talk to me, the only thing I had to keep her alive within my heart and mind was this song. Now when ever I come back to this I cry, Im not one to cry much, but when your hurting and you need to let go, this is where I come. I want this band to win a Grammy once or twice in the future, their music is so beautiful.
I rarely cry. My emotions have been at it's boiling point for these past few months, but still. I rarely cry. I have a hard time letting everything out, you know? I'm losing friends, losing my ways, losing..myself. And then..this happened. P: Hoooooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for crying. Blue October is, and forever will be, my favorite band. I've been listening to them since I was in grade four, randomly singing "Hate me" in class without knowing that this band made who I am today.
Stay grabs my heart and soul, this song could have been written and sang by my sons father, Brian Gregory. I love you. The suffering and the struggles we have endured and (even caused some of thiem through addiction) Alas, we have come full circle. Our journey towards healing and becoming whole again has begun, as we share a common goal to be the best parents we possibly can for Caiden.

The most underrated song from the most underrated band ever.
Then why are they still around in 2019?
@@stephanierogers6188 because they have a great fan club. RESPECT for this band 🤘 and the fans.
I love this band I know everyone says all this but they have helped me a great deal. And all the stuff they touch on I don't think there isn't any body who can't relate to the songs
I rate this song very highly, plus they are my favourite band ever...... So, I guess there is hope?
agreed
The most beautiful things always seem to come from the most tortured souls...
I love this band even no one likes
Maybe it takes a tortured soul to truly understand and appreciate beauty in all its forms.
As a dad who suffers from psychosis I see how it affects my family, loosing them to my mental illness would kill me, Justin helps with every lyric. His Conquering of his addictions and mental health is inspirational and is a great idol of mine.

"Stay". The most powerful Lyric of the song.
I admire Justin's courage and the passion that he puts into his music. I'm not bipolar, but I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder. Thank God there is medicine to control these diseases.
And he has the most beautiful eyes!

Haha, yeah?? I was surprised that I kept reading and reading.. But what an adorable story.. 😹🙆😳
+Miss Tea yea..jesus...talk much lady??My god..no wonder Justin was nice..probably thought she was looney...he knows the type
omg the part where he says "well there's three of us to think about now, in our show", talking about his daughter now too instead of before it just being about him and his wife...broke my effingggg heartttt.....one of the BEST songs I have EVER head..
Its hard to see him like this, He is so much healthier now. He looks like a different person
This group deserves a Grammy Award.
I feel this song so deep in my soul. Ive watched this video probably 100 times and its like the first time each time I hit play.
Especially the first paper he holds up. "It's NOT all your fault." Thanks for being able to communicate what we feel Justin.
genius. proud of my fellow native Texas boys here.
I feel so sorry for Justin. This is such a blunt, and touching song that shows his suffereing. And he doesn't need some sad video to prove it, all he needs is the pain on his face as he sings his heart out.
Favorite band. Make you feel so many emotions through every song
Black orchids ma shiznit
Beautiful from Portugal
4 years on and this song still connects with me on so many levels. Timeless
Real artistic expression has no time limit. If it's true...we know it. This is real.
Bruh. Even in 2022 it moves me to get back up to be better. This song rocks.
Seems fitting that the guy who brought me back to this band will also be the one who makes their songs relevant for me.. Certain lyrics hit me like a .308 in the chest.. And yet I still will never regret our time together..

The way he captures emotion ... Omg I feel every word n shudder
Such a beautifully tormented soul...
I can really feel Justin's pain...so happy and grateful that he made it through what he was going through..I know you help many people get through the darkness there are feeling...you should feel PROUD!!!!!

apparently there's some reason why you came back here... there is always depression within everyone.. you cannot truely say that you're "too happy"
MrGenewar Agreed...
Yeah im in love n all married kids etc And im happy but It doesnt remove my desires to hear Blue and reflect back on the harder times and appreciate the now for what it's worth
well datsonmabitch you should check out sway.... its pure happiness and joy with a truth so amazing.
I do not see his music as depressing, I see it as resilient, I see him as someone who has overcome every pain imaginable to bring art and beauty to the world. He is an inspiration, and has courage and strenght that most people never aquire.

Holy crap! This song just pulled my heart up from my chest and ripped it out right through my mouth. Words can't even begin to describe...
you should stay

masterpiece!
106000...deserve 1 million and more, where are the Blue October fans???
It helps me feel my emotions again... something I've lost the ability to hold onto.

+sarah wilson This is my thought tooo...
sarah wilson yes yes keep on keep in on
I hope this song becomes remembered through the ages.
No other song has so much emotion and heart.

Yeah, radio tends to give up easily.. Have you heard Let Go? Or It's Just Me/End? Now THEY are emotional
+john Johnson this and chameleon boy are my favorites...but goddamn they have a lot of great ones
Stephen & Cara Crawford Foiled was a fantastic album all the way through. I just wish there had been more singles off of it.
Blue October, I doubt they'll ever see this, but the songs made by this band has helped me get through a whole lot of things that I wish never happened. I just want to say thank you for the wonderful music.
I am whom I am! This fits!! I'm broken and I'm accepting it finally!
STAY!! He's the beginning the middle and END....period 💙 from UK
the word beautiful is just not enough to convey how this song hits the heart
I watched the live verson of this song. Then this vid. I have a 4 year old daughter who is my entire life. I truly understand his pain. I honestly have not gotten into Blueoctober too much, but today the have won a fan. Great music, and great heart .

Incredibly inspirational, thank you for sharing your feelings...as a divorced father of two I want to stay for my children
I love this band. I've met him twice. So polite and courteous every time.
I will never understand why people find anything and everything to bitch about. The video is perfect for this song. It's real emotion.
Brings me to tears everytime.
Summer Rain Anderson ditto.
these guys always humble me. I've been a fan since 2001 when my sister dragged me kicking and screaming to a show in Odessa Texas. Best thing to happen to me.
To be fair to the woman who left him, it takes a very strong and courageous woman to put up with those of us who suffer from mental illness. Most people simply aren't equipped to deal with that. Not taking her side or anything.....this is just something I know for a fact.
Both me and my girlfriend have mental illness, we have been together for 3 years now. It's not easy, and there is always that risk that our issues will catch up to us and tear us apart. I think the biggest thing in any relationship is patience and empathy it is more important when dealing with someone who is mentally ill.
Yes, that is true. And also, if you have ever visit a show, you will know, Justin always tells background stories to every song. And now, that he feels well again, he admitted at the open book tour, that he took drugs and wasn't always loyal. So there have been many different factors that played a role. It is sad of course, because there is his daughter involved. This is always difficult for all sides. However I am truly happy for him, that he now is happy again with his second wife and daughter. Nevertheless he also almost lost her and started a therapy again, which finally was successful, also he didn't want to lose them again. Much love to all
I have found in marriage/relationship disputes where there is a child involved the man will always get the short end of the straw. The system is biased towards women when it comes to children and breakups.
DemonAMVs From the father's point of view (I'm a woman, a mother, not a father), I agree with you. Divorce/split ups create such a mess and yet are often necessary for the health of everyone. From the child's position, familiarity and consistency and stability is so necessary for healthy growth, so the 50/50 thing is just not a good option, imo. I have friends who "split" their kids 50/50. As an adult, my mind feels tweaked and heavy just thinking of my own life being split between 2 households.
I feel for the fathers. I really do and yet I think of what the child needs.
Of course a father could be the primary caregiver...and then that puts the mother in the position your speaking of.
I wish there was a way where split-up parents could easily live next door to each other, around the corner, something, so the child has both parents and both parents have the child. I am blessed, in a weird, unintended kind of way, to be roommates with my daughter's father as of 1.5 yrs ago. We split when our child was born. Our child is 15 now. It's been rough all her years, but I hope that by living together these last years will result in healing and closure.
I just found Blue October 3 days ago. I am blown away. I look forward to using his material to help her father and I heal up open sours. So much of his material parallels my/our lives.
Healthyocean I agree with the 50/50 thing, making a child move from house to house every two weeks is unfair especially if the parents life apart. If the parents lived very close together I could see it working though.
The problem I have, is the father has no chance in hell of ever becoming the sole caregiver. The the current system the father can be wealthy middle class with his own big house, and the mother could be on welfare in a tiny government housing home, and she will still get the child.
if that doesn't work she merely has to accuse the father of molesting the child, then he has lost no matter what he does.
And that is how it is, I have seen families happy for decades, with a happy father and mother. When they break up all of a sudden the father is some evil abusive molester, he has no way of defending himself against the accusation, no evidence is needed. His children are tore from him, he is extorted for every cent he owns and his last resort is to put a gun in his mouth and end it.
In Australia 21 fathers kill themselves as a direct result of our family court system a week. It's unacceptable but when you speak out against it, you are automatically a misogynist trying to "bring down women"
Great Song!!
Cumpz , from Portugal.
Every word resonates to me in this song. It's absolutely stunning
Thomas Gray I feel ya, gets me after all these years.
I discovered Blue October in 2006 right after the release of "Foiled". I've always enjoyed melodic music and instantly made a connection with the music and meanings. in 2009 Coincidentally 2 weeks after "Approaching normal" was released I had a split up with my Fiance of 6 years. credit that album for getting me through the hard times. I learned not only that we don't all have to be perfect, but that we can learn to overcome our faults. Thanks for helping this guy who wears his heart on a sleeve
This song really tugs at something deep inside me. It makes me feel very emotional.
He's a beautiful soul... I can't believe it took me this long to get acquainted with his music.
Such a touching song, is and will probably always be my favorite blue October song
Justin definitely sings with his soul. His music help me to stay alive when my chronic depression hits me too hard. Blue October is THE band!
i just want to ty this band for everything the songs are great and keep me going throw hard times.
im a 16 year old straight dude and Justin's music can bring me too tears :' ) its like he reachs into you and finds the parts of your life you have been hurt most and then he breaks your heart again and mends it properly :D
He is such a BEAST!!!!
yes
I love love this song!!!!! I heard it just after my world shattered with my fiance. This song fits our whole relationship from beginning, to current, to future. God brought this song to me to fill my heart and soul with hope, strength and joy. I love you baby! One day we will dance to this song at our wedding :)
Never made a concerted effort to listen to this album, must have flown under my radar. Better late than never. like finding a gem! good music
VIP tickets. Can't wait. I think this band is so emotional, real, and I hope they go on forever. He has helped me so much with his lyrics alone. I don't care what anyone here says. Justin and Blue October are amazing.
in love with this song forever. felt every word. hits to close to home.
And so glad for Justin turning his life around. Even though his songs of pain comforted. I am so pleased he's smiling and has a beautiful family now. He's an angel
ever sense my friend died .... iv felt numb,angry,and generally unpleasant to be around. I hate being around my self because of how I act and feel. I'm so angry at every one and I break down after my out burst.... blue October is helping me, it always has in the past but it really is getting me through this. I know that's not what this song is about but to me... I find something to relate to in each song...💜💜💜💜💜 I miss her so much and will fight to find out why,and who made it happen...
Mymindmaywonder its good to feel what u feel. life is a silly fucking place.
Benjamin Doggwiler it is good to feel feelings I suppose... it would be so much easier if you could shut them off. Putting my anger on other's Is'ent right... I hate when ppl put pitty on me, I'm not even family.... She was just one of thoes ppl who never gave up on you... She would smile even though there wasebt a reason to. when we were younger ,I was told I had no polar disorder from my doctor . Mild for my age but I had and still do have episodes. She just didebt care in a way was always there never gave up on me. I took advantage of that. I always new she would be there so who cared for what others thought ? as long as she wss there . Now hear I am , always mad,angry , my grades are suffering more then ever. I break down..... No one even knows what happened. We are all in the dark.... This song has nothing to do with my situation but if you take away the parts he talks about his daughter... I feel its what my situation is. I never knew I'd lose someone who never let go. I'm not emotional stable it feels like.... and I hate it ..
for real👀👀
Elizabeth Hughes after finding the reasoning of her passing...I'm now in therapy.... I can't handle it.....
+Mymindmaywonder im sorry for what u are going thru, this song really helped me get thru some really hard times along with many other Blue October songs. I had a friend overdose 2yrs ago and this was one of those songs that i played everyday. i hope u find peace thru this bands music.
I was lost in UA-cam and I stumbled on this. I am crying right now. This is exactly how I feel.
Lyrics
I see the sun go down on the river
I feel the wind blow, I would've stayed to gray
I feel the air around you, it's kinda closing in
Do you feel it fall or do you feel at all? I can.
I see the world keep moving as I stumble
They seem to move much faster than me
And while I sit in my four cornered room, dividing hearts for our little girl
While I can't be anything but who I am
And I wish you'd stay
Well that was the beginning of the two of us, the start of our show
Stay stay stay
No I would never have let go
And I see the sun go up as your image
And I feel the weight of your eyes as you stare
I feel it all when you, when you first, when you kissed my lips
You used to make me feel at home, you made me feel at home, you made me feel again
Oh that's when you used to say will you stay and not let go
That was just the two of us to think about, the stars of our show
And you would say I wish you'd stay and I'd never go
Oh I would never have let go!
So take this heart of mine
You've taken it a hundred thousand times
But this time, this time I'm gonna take it with me
I see the door close down behind you
I watch your face turn from glow to straight gray
I see the moon go up and it shines this glory on my face
Who will know? Who will know? Who will know!
How we would stay and we should stay and never go
There's just three of us to think about now in our show, our show, our show
And I think we'd stay, we'd just stay, and then we'd know
That we should never let go oh oh
Something to think about oh... in our heart of hearts
Just look into those big brown eyes and you'd just fall apart
Maybe we should stay, we should stay, at least she'd know
That we should never have let go
No, no, let go, go... oh
I wish you'd have stayed
I wish you'd have stayed...
Katy Reed
Thank you
Fan for life right here!!!! Watching & feeling the emotions in this song in 2018 & LOVE THEM MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY 💙 I just saw them in Dallas last night & it was the BEST SHOW & EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE 💙💙💙
This was by far the most depressing album they ever made. I can't listen to it every day, but I won't lie when I am so down I listen to it and it makes me happy if that makes any sense.
You hit it right on the head
Definitely 💙
My absolute favorite aong
This is perhaps one of the best videos i've ever seen and one of the most emotionally charged songs i've ever heard. I'm ashamed to admit that I'd not heard of Blue October before hearing this on the radio a while ago. I've ordered Any Man in America but would welcome any recommendations of their other albums
Paul Naylor Honestly all of them.AMIA is by far the darkest. The follow up Sway is much more positive and shows a positive side not really seen before.foiled,and consent to treatment are how most people dive into Blue October.
Yes, sway is by far the most positive. While the whole album is amazing, FEAR, is by far the one that has spoke to me the most. Not broken anymore is a close second.
Paul Naylor No doubt give Foiled a listen thats the one that everyone knows and since you dont know it, that will be awesome experiencing that haha
i have listened to Blue October since i was 8 and i'm turning 18 this year. I am so emotionally moved by them. They represent the biggest changes in my life. every time I hear one of their songs i just feel empowered to keep moving.
Let's see how fast we get this great song to 2 mill views.
lol I know I watched it probably over a 1000 times
Sam S I have watched a thousand times
My girlfriend went to BuzzFest, and she got me Blue Octobers signature (all of them). . And I love it, because, they know just what to say, and are always on point. Everysong they make has a really amazing meaning. They are simply amazing, and have and still will play a big role in my life. That is all.
why didnt she stay why why i wouldnt of ever let go
Bands like this help save lives, I know I was saved when I listened to this song.
This is what I listened to after my dog Homey was put to sleep.
Pure power.
i cant be anything but who i am.
I know man. I find solace in those lyrics too.
Can you really feel this,2020...?We are at home, love you once again, Blue October.To one and all, keep the faith.💖
is it just me or do I really reffer his voice to Peter Gabriel? Sounds a bit similar to me.
yup, much the same
Peter Gabriel was one of his inspirations :)
I thought that too x
But a billion times better
Yes, with the face of Bruce Willis ;)
True talent does not need all the "frills" that most use. Justin is truly one of his own kind
:-)
News Flash. Old hippie likes new music. I'm surprised.
but it is such good music :)
At least one guy in Poland is absolutely crazy about THE Blue October.I know you guys since last Sunday and i have to admit, that I found my number one band.Keep on!
I met a Mormon misssionary I wish could stay with me but it won't happen cause I'm a fool for wanting him.
No Love is never foolish (:
So many songs, so much music that, in the end, says nothing. This, THIS IS REAL! Love these guys. They speak to so many. The feel for us. This is what we wait for. Thanks guys. We love you!
I wish my dog would STAYYYYYYYYYY
Joseph Osborne lol😀😂
This song as tragic as it is has so much beauty in it. Your heart can not but feel every emotion that Justin expresses. It is a tragic beauty and one of the best songs of a human tragedy I have heard a long time. This man is tearing apart in this video and for anyone to make fun of it or dislike it is a show off inhumanity.
Hhaahaaa....we have a new EMO champion of the world...
Shut your no-neck ass up and take that shy back to home town buffet,[your second home) ......haahahhaha
*sht
No neck? Was that supposed to be offensive?
TRILLVSTREAL jokes...you don't get them :P
jarrod rutland
He tried to correct his spelling mistake & did it wrong again... lol = troll fail XD
Justin's lyrics are from the heart. You can hear the emotion in his voice and see it in his face. What a beautiful song.
Great song, horrible lip syncing lol
I agree, but since it's in slow motion, they had to speed the song up when he lip synced it, so I'm assuming that made it more difficult, lol.
Blue October is so different there amazing. they can do it like no one else. Love from the 505.... Keep on keeping on JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what music is all about , reaching out to people pulling there heart strings making them think making them feel the passion behind the lyrics and music
This is real music
I heard this song on the radio on my drive home. I was completely floored by it. The artistry in the music and the emotion and poetry in the lyrics...Amazing!
LOVE HIS VOICE, THE MUSIC . JUSTIN
Both me and my Girlfriend love Blue October, and whe we broke up she refused to talk to me, the only thing I had to keep her alive within my heart and mind was this song. Now when ever I come back to this I cry, Im not one to cry much, but when your hurting and you need to let go, this is where I come. I want this band to win a Grammy once or twice in the future, their music is so beautiful.
This is some over produced video like you normally see these day, this is his soul hes bearing...no makeup, no special effects, just him..amazing...
The views will climb. This is the last thing I see before going to sleep. Man, wish my soon to be X could hear this and understand it
I rarely cry. My emotions have been at it's boiling point for these past few months, but still. I rarely cry. I have a hard time letting everything out, you know? I'm losing friends, losing my ways, losing..myself. And then..this happened. P: Hoooooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for crying. Blue October is, and forever will be, my favorite band. I've been listening to them since I was in grade four, randomly singing "Hate me" in class without knowing that this band made who I am today.
Ive listened to this song 3 or 4 times every day for the last 3 months and Im still not bored of it. It is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
no matter where I'm at in my life I can always count on this group for a powerful song with meaning.
Amazing Song ! Goosebumps !!
Stay grabs my heart and soul, this song could have been written and sang by my sons father, Brian Gregory. I love you. The suffering and the struggles we have endured and (even caused some of thiem through addiction) Alas, we have come full circle.
Our journey towards healing and becoming whole again has begun, as we share a common goal to be the best parents we possibly can for Caiden.
I love Justin. Just the look on his face as he says these words is so beautiful. He's so into his song. It's real. Can't help but cry.
