Every chapter of my life has a song.. even the chapters I don't read aloud.. thank you blue october. Thank you justin.. you be kept my head out of the dirt in some of the darkest times of my life. I listen to this song and worry list daily. It is my Zen. I have so much gratitude for you guys. 💓
Lindsey Holcomb Congratulations on 7 months sober! Keep doing what you're doing that helps you stay sober. I love hearing success stories like yours. I know the battle of addiction is a daily battle! Everyday is a new day, stay positive my friend 💗 and know you're not alone in this world.
Thank you for your service and I'm so sorry you feel that way, please know that you are still here for a reason or many reasons, very special purposes that are meant to be fulfilled in this earth, because those purposes will fulfill you and impact many lives, more than you know. you got this Soldier!💙🙏🇺🇲💪
He gets it. Of all the singers out there who sing of depression, self harm, suicidal ideation, and heartache, his seems to be the most accurate and honest portral today. Cuts to the bone and speaks to the heart of me. Thank you, and for everyone who suffers this way, know that you are never alone, although it often feels that way.
Today….. After years of listening , I felt brave enough to share my story as well . Reading comments from every song , it just amazes me the affect this band has had on all of us . I left an abusive marriage in 2015 , we have kids so he is never going to go away but I’ve found my ground and stood it. this music has carried me through the anxiety , depression and hopelessness i felt . I was finally able to see them live last week. It was such an emotional experience for me , more than any one could ever understand. Thank you
Brandon Jeffers TOTALLY TRUE ON THAT...IVE BEEN INTO BLUE OCTOBER SINCE THEY FIRST CAME OUT...IM STILL AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE STILL NOT HEARD OF THEM!!! BOY HAVE THEY BEEN MISSING OUT!!
Hey. I'm Marley. I'm 12 years old and I am a week out of self harm and 5 months out of addiction of vaping, smoking, and alcohol. I grew up in an abusive house and was s*xually assaulted a lot of my life. God/whomever bless Blue October for making this song. My mom showed me this song and I'm so thankful for that. I showed my friend DJ this song because he is also going through stuff. Love you Blue October. 💙💙💙 XOXO, MarMar J❤️
4:47 Marley, you are so brave and beautiful to admit at your young age the things that you have. I am so proud to be able to read this and wish that I had been that brave at 12, 40+ years ago. I have been extremely self destructive in my life because it mirrors your own. I am much older and still have so much to learn as you do. The one piece of advice I can offer/give someone your age that I can see a reflection of myself in is 1) every morning when you stand in front of the mirror you say to yourself “Marley if no one has told you today that they love you I love you” and hug yourself tightly 2) no matter what is wrong in your life, no matter the pain, past, horrific thoughts and situations, no matter how broken you may feel, every single day you have to put both feet on the ground and put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward in your life away from this part. You will never forget what happened however it does not create or define who you will become as an adult but it will always be there and a part of you. I am so sorry that you had to struggle and survive this at such a young age because I remember those horrible times and moments when I had no power or control or choices. But remember this kiddo, you are not just a survivor, like me you are a mother fucking warrior now and you must keep telling your story. You may be able to help another child or adult regardless if you know it or not. I will be keeping you and your mother in my prayers each and every day. Good luck with your future and keep going forward and never give up hope.
Don't let anyone tell you you're not enough...best advice i got..sometimes you have to wait till the right wind blows, put up your sail and get closer to the destination...happiness
Hey there, not gonna preach to you, but long story short, God brought me out of a destructive addiction that destroyed my marriage. Almost lost my kids and everything, but after 40 years of doing things my way I gave up and gave it to God and got saved. Through Jesus, God restored me and then some. He’s a good God and didn’t die on a cross to make it hard. All the love and prayers your way!
I’m a long term chronic pain patient and I’m still here because of their music. Sounds dramatic but it’s the truth. Those times I was so close to ending it all, I put on their music and somehow found the strength to keep on. I thank God for Justin and Blue October. It’s the package. The violin and drums? Touch my soul.
I’m in the same boat. Have Trigeminal Neuralgia (for 6 years now and just getting worse..) and was driving to my pain doctor appointment and this song came on in my car - it’s on my playlist but I almost forgot about this song until my phone decided to play it. And I just started tearing up while listening, the last bit really got me. Now l’m watching this video while I’m sitting in the patient room waiting to see my dr..
Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re being dramatic because of chronic pain issue. I have full body Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and I’m so tired of people thinking I’m being dramatic when I find something to relate to because they can’t relate to what I go through. Stand proud in the things that get you through the day! 🖤
One year ago, this song brought me to bountiful tears. Now, I see the ‘shadows’ lifted and great accomplishment replacing the sadness. I am no longer afraid of who I am to others. To those battling, keep going. The sun is ahead. I am living proof. I am still evolving. I think no one ever stops.❤
The only band/man I've ever known who gives the same passionate singing in his videos as he does on stage. ....not the "pretty" lip syncing. But the "I'm screaming with all I have in my body until you can hear me through this screen" singing. I will never not respect that. And, I'm also in love with the revival in this song. It felt very true to him unlike a couple more recent tracks. "The same" but with growth. Which is the kind of "different" that maintains authenticity and integrity. And that's the most admirable transition a band/person can make. I love it. Moving song, video, person, band. Always.
what about Nirvana? they hated lip syncing so much that when ask to do so Kurt Cobain sung so low that he wawsnt even saying anything, and the bass player just stood there dancing
Good example. There are/were many other older bands that were awesome in the ways PG was trying to explain. She forgot about the other half of the band though, Justin would be nowhere without his band and esp Ryan(violin and strings)that is a huge part of their sound for me.
Justin, Thank you for you and the bands music. I am 56 years old and have been suffering from chronic depression my whole life. My daughter sent me this video, and has been a blessing. We saw you and the band in Albuquerque on November 4th. I was blown away. THANK YOU so much. My healing is getting better thanks to you and BLUE OCTOBER. Please don't stop writing incredible songs. I know you are making a POSITIVE impact in so many lives. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
I am my own worst enemy, I criticize myself in everything I do and I sometimes find that I hate myself, I listen to Fear and Home and it brings me back to being the husband and father I need to be. God love Justin and Blue October for creating this art and giving it to those of us who struggle everyday.
I love the part when he screams "get up"... i can feel the emotion in his voice. As if to say, "You can do it, no matter who you are; and i'm your proof."
Well, honestly, I don't get that from Justin... I keep getting that "YOU'RE your proof!" Kinda thing... Taking on this song and others as a cadence helped me keep in mind what Will Smith had to say during his retelling of his paradigm shift with "fear" and jumping out of a perfectly good airplane... There's certain people that have spoken/narrated some motivational stuff that I want to carry with me, slowly replacing all the heavy stuff I didn't CHOOSE to carry with me. (Yes, Linkin Park reference.) THIS song, home, calling you, and into the ocean have helped me grow past that self deprecation and justifying negative self-talk that was keeping me from being self compassionate... Guess I can give myself a chance these days?
Justin I know you probably won't see this, but you have given ME the inspiration to motivate my SON to quit heroin. I asked him once "What is your biggest reason for running to heroin?" He replied "My fear of everything."
I'll never be able to accurately explain how much his music means to me. Every lyric of every song speaks to me on so many levels. I absolutely LOVE this band!
same my father listens to there music because it speaks to him his name is also Justin I don't know much about him besides he likes this band I only meet him once when I was little but just listening to this music makes all the surrounding trouble go away.
I so agree Keely! My fiancé hates their music and I think it is because he can't handle the emotions. The emotion in every single song is what makes Justin and the rest of the band fucking AMAZING!!!!!
In October, my husband left me. In December, my mom died unexpectedly. Fear of what horror lurks around the next corner follows me every day. But this song has touched me like no other has for a very long time. Thank you for writing these beautiful words. I listen to this song over and over, tears sliding down my face, reminding myself, "Today, I don't have to fall apart. I don't have to be afraid. I don't have to let the damage consume me." I'm getting back up. Thank you, Blue October.
Peyton Olson Thank you, Peyton. Things really are getting better all the time. I still have very bad days, but I have beautiful, wonderful days full of hope, love, and happiness too. Take care. :)
***** Always believe things happen for a reason. Sometimes we get beat down so badly, but things will all make sense one day. Keep positive and know you can get through anything.
This is one of the best songs ever written. As someone who struggels with fear I can't explain how personal this feels. PS this man has no idea how gifted he is. I have a piece of art that reminds me of this song/scene hanging on my wall. "Get back up!" (Its just an old beautiful painting of an oceanfront with rock formations.Painted by a woman who was an art teacher.)
One of my favorite memories with my sister was at a Blue October concert, holding her hand and crying while we sang this song. She passed from her addiction and I still listen to this song and think about holding her hand. Blue October has gotten me through most of the pain in my life and they still do.
Fentanyl took my brother a few months ago. Nothing comes remotely close to describing the pain of losing a parent or sibling. I hope you're doing okay out there. ❤️
Did anyone else get goosebumps this is a glorious day for this man and many others who are watching this felt that amazing presence thank you and God Bless You🙏❤☝️
I always turn to this song when my anxiety gets the best of me. The emotion he sings with is amazing and the lyrics reach my soul. This song ALWAYS helps me in my darkest moments. Thank you for that.
GET BACK UP, GET UP, UP! So powerful. ❤ It took me years to get back up after I lost everything. There were times I actually shouted at myself to GET BACK UP!! 😭 But I got back up, and this song means so much to me. Should be a massive hit for mental health.
Me too Sue and we aren't alone. This band is a blessing to us that weren't as blessed in our heads until our hearts took charge and then we understood life.
This song. My addiction, my depression. This song bringing my addiction to an end, happier days ahead. Blue October, every song inspires the hell out of me. Thank you.
We just saw blue October live in Asbury Park. While singing this song, Justin grabbed my fiancé’s hand and sang to her. There are no words into how amazing that was. The pure rawness and emotion of this band is second to none.
I've been dealing with so much depression and darkness in the last year ....I just found this song ....its empowering....the emotion in his voice and his so gs from the past ....gives me some hope
This song has become a daily anthem for me. Ive been dealing with depression for 15 years and it was at its worst this year. I seriously considered taking my own life this year, but im still here. Im only 30, i have many years ahead of me. I dont have to fall apart. Noone does. Get back up! if life knocks you down 7 times, get back up 8.
Been a addict scene 18 and I am going on 2 years clean and this song continues to help me through some of my hardest times. Thank you God so much for this opportunity to listen to this song
Living with PTSD from a deadly relationship is something I have been coping with for 12 years. Going through everything from addiction to bad relationships, the music that Blue October creates is the most Beautiful Music to my soul. Thank You Justin and the band. I love you guys. ❤️🙏❤️
@@lalanianeal203 I am So Sorry you and your children ever went through that. It’s Not your fault though. It’s Not. I lost my son to adoption after the dad chose drugs and lost his job. He also chose to cheat on me again and again. We lost our apartment and I couldn’t find anyone to help me. Even organizations. So I made the best choice for my son and the most selfless choice. So don’t blame yourself. Because I’m betting that you did your best in this horrible relationship. God Bless You. ❤️🙏
Jeezus, that VOICE!! Every whisper, every plea & shout, conveys exactly the emotion he's trying to show. He's a master & doesn't hesitate to share it all.
This song has taken me through depression, anxiety, the loss of my best friend and was my anthem during cancer treatment the last year and a half. Meeting the guys was on my bucket list last year. I got to meet them in Orlando. They were all so kind. I sing this song while I am having to do MRI and CT scans. I sang this song while I was in the hospital 4 times in the last year. I have a hospital playlist and it is on there. It keeps me going. Thank you.
@Eren Cox sorry to hear that! I'm at the hospital now getting my CT scan to see if I'm still cancer free. I hope your daughter does well with treatment.
All my life Been running from a pain in me A feeling I don't understand Holding me down So rain on me Underwater All I am, getting harder A heavy weight I carry around Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to let the damage Consume me, My shadow see through me 'Cause fear in itself Will reel you in and spit you out Over and over again Believe in yourself And you will walk Now, fear in itself Will use you up and break you down Like you were never enough Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up I'm up here I'm looking at the way down there I'm staring through the I don't care It's staring back at me The beauty is I'm learning how to face my beast Starting now to find some peace Set myself free, yeah Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to be afraid I don't have to let the damage consume me My shadow see through me 'Cause fear in itself Will reel you in and spit you out Over and over again Believe in yourself And you will walk And now, fear in itself Will use you up and break you down Like you were never enough I used to fall but now I get back up I'm moving on Oh God just move on Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to be afraid Get back up Get up Feel it, fear, wow And now fear, fear in itself can use you up And then breaks you down You're never enough And I used to fall Breathe Ask for more If you're bitter still Ask him to help you carry on Source: LyricFind
I lost my husband of 20 years...it killed me. We loved Blue October. This song and many others has got me through my husbands passing. This song inparticular..because I was scared. The fear of being alone and moving on...but I got back up.
Angel Doemer I lost my husband of 20yrs we were married at 19. I played this song at his funeral as he always struggled with pain in his life from childhood. I heard this song the day he passed and new from the first verse! Sorry about your loss.
I love the fact that I can come back to this song months later and real people are still having discussions about the video. Thank you Justin and thank you to the community. There is hope in humanity!
10 years I've had Blue October and Justin in my "LIFE"!!! TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE A GREAT BAND AND "FRIEND"! I PROMISE ALL OF YOU IT GET'S BETTER AND EASIER EVERYDAY 🎉❤😊
PTSD fear is especially potent. That FEAR needs its own word. It’s been almost 2 years….. but I just faced my attacker. Did what needed to be done and as I walk/ran from the courthouse to my car the only thing in my mind was the word FEAR. The second the door closed I BURST. burst into tears. The burst must have had a shockwave because tears and fears and forms of energy I can’t name, all burst out of me at the same time. . Immediately pull up this video and ugly cry while my heart stitched together for the first time since almost 2 years ago. Thank you Justin. I just back up.
I wake up every morning struggling with Depression and PTSD. And I fear that I will feel this way the rest of my life. I don't want to feel this way everyday, it wears me out. I heard this song and it make me want to accept what i'm going through and keep moving forward.. I fear this everyday, I tell myself to breathe so I can beat this fear. Thank you for this song. I play it almost everyday...your words are so inspiring
+angie allen i know how you feel. ive been in a depression since i was 13. im 28 now and its only gotten worse. i no longer have the strength to fight. i have virtually no reasons to remain alive. the only reason why i get through each day is because of this band.
I rarely ever post comments about anything in regards to my life, but I have a very bad fear of driving long distances. My fiance lives 9 hours away and I finally made the decision to overcome that fear by making that drive. Not only did this song motivate me to do the drive, but on my drive home days later, I played this song again and it was invigorating. I felt insanely free, accomplished and so overly proud of myself. That "Get back up!" makes me cry like a baby everytime.
I don't know you, but I am so proud of you! There is nothing you can't do and I am so glad you learned this. :-) (I also cry when he says, "Get back up!")
that's so amazing especially finding the courage and strength to do what I'm guessing your fears would hold you back , I can relate its pretty amazing this song. yes that get back up part makes me cry every time to.but u did it im so happy for you and that accomplishment
I only saw Blue October two weeks and one day ago...I became instantly in love with them. Justin sings with soul and to souls of many different ages because he is so real and sincere...he lived what he sings...during meet and greet I learned he is so funny that I almost had tears!!! Just an amazing compilation of talent, love, music and humor. I love them.
I'd never really listened to Blue October before... But this song came on the radio while I was on my way to the hospital to take my father off of Life Support. I can't even begin to explain how much of a source of strength this song has become for me. My father passed away last night at 7:13pm and I was humming this to myself as we waited for him to pass. Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss, I can relate. It's wonderful that you can find solace in this video, as I do too, and have to thank my Wife for turning me on to it! :)
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in December and find a lot of comfort in this song too. I hope you are doing ok. HUGS to you, my friend.
SilverRain79 I am so truly sorry for loss. I lost my mother the year before my son was born. This song brings so many people comfort in so manys.. I'm glad it was there when u needed it most as it was for me as well.
Anyone that says music doesn't heal, needs to hear this song! Everytime I hear it, I feel it touch the deepest depths of my soul! Thank you Blue October!
I was just introduced to this band here recently through a friend and its like finding a long lost friend that I have needed for so long. I'm so grateful I have them to walk with me as I finally start to heal.
One year ago, I came to this video and commented about how much I wanted the lyrics to be true for me, just like it is for Justin. At the time, I didn't actually believe or think that that was a possibility for me. I had completely given up on myself and the world, and any possibility of me getting any better, being happy. But here I am, one year later, and the things that I thought were so impossible, things that I never believed I'd have for myself, the things that Justin has, I now DO have. Something I so longed for and wanted I FINALLY have. I haven't been happy in years and now I finally am. I believe that things can change for me and get better. They've already started. And believe me when I say that this song has been a HUGE part of that healing. I'd listen to it so much and just want this. And now I have it.
I am hoping I can get where you are. I have BPD and am broke, likely/about-to-be homeless, and so suicidal and everyday is just me searching for a reason not to give up. I am sorry I'm a burden just saying this on youtube. I'm just tired and have no where to go. I need hope, and I'm so jealous of Justin. I wish I had my friend back.
eskimo289 You'll get here one day! You just have to stay strong. I was diagnosed last summer with BPD (bipolar disorder) and it's been such a long, hard road. I spent five years being depressed, four of them suicidal, two years self-harming and one suicide attempt. I NEVER thought that I would ever be where I am now. I know how you're feeling now. All I can say is stay strong. Make goals for yourself and keep looking forward to them, making them possible. You absolutely can do this. I believe in you 100%. You'll have what Justin has, too
BPD for me is Borderline Personality Disorder. Sometimes misdiagnosed as bipolar though. And I have depression too, obviously. But medication hasn't helped me with that. I am 30, and I've been this way since half-way through my teens. I've tried to grow and change so many things, I don't even know who I am... and I don't know if trying to change MORE is going to have any different results than it has been up to now. I feel hopeless and jealous that others have found things I can't. I wish I had the hope for me you do. I haven't given up, but man I don't feel any hope anymore. I want it all to just end.
I am 48 days no drugs an alcohol been an addict since i was 15 i am now 42I have ptsd severe anxiety and depression and I am a recovering addict in early recovery and I am grateful to be alive and this song is so real and speaks volumes to me I heard it for the first time in detox an I listen to it often as it helps me in my recovery an when I'm having a hard time I listen when I'm happy I listen to it as well its truly a beautifully written masterpiece thank you so much
Looking back on their old stuff, THIS is how a band/front man should evolve, keeping things familiar but actually maturing as time goes on. Once upon a time Blue October sang about somber topics such as depression, divorce, suicide, and hatred now have a song about forgiveness, compassion, acceptance, perseverance and happiness. All of my respect goes to Justin Furstenfeld for not only allowing himself to walk down a better path, but also showing people out there that life doesn't always have to be about the bad things. Mad respect Justin, keep up all the fantastic work!
this song has got me up every day for the last 5 years. I have massive depression and anxiety. thank you! I'm so happy you have your life under control. been a fan for many many years
I watched him last night in Huntsville, Alabama. When he came into the crowd and was hugging us while still singing, it was incredible. You didn’t feel like it was a celebrity. It felt more like a friend coming to uplift you in your time of pain. A lot of people tears being shed. I’m very thankful for Blue October and thankful for Justin. The lyrics have definitely kept being going through very tough times.
This song keeps me holding on when every fibre of my being wants to end it all. Borderline, addict, panic disorder and depression and things I battle with every day. Justin's words have kept me alive and moving forward for many years. I've dropped 120 pounds walking to his music nightly. He is so humble. I strive to be like him.
My son's dad and the love of my life passed away on October 14th 2017 early in the Morning and I fell into a deep depression and about 3 month's after he passed I Found this song and it helped me in so many Way's. Justin and the band mate's, Thank YOU, thank you so MUCH you have no idea how much your music impacts so many people's life's. I hope to see you all in person one day to thank you for YOUR musical talent that God gifted you with to help so many people who struggle on a day to day basis🙌 it's y'all's big life mission and you are Killing it with the power of music
This song has drug me forcefully out of a deep depression more than once. The words are like a mantra to me. It's like a reminder that you are good enough and there is a reason to continue on. Eternally grateful for these words, especially today. Thank you.
I listened to this song over and over before I faced my ex husband in court for a domestic violence case... I get chills every time I hear it... I can relate to many of his songs...
tita aceofspades I to related this to my ex husband and domestic violence but what this song did for me was made me understand my husband even more with that he became my best friend ten years three kids later and wouldnt trade it for the world haveing forgivness in my heart for what he did to me that made him make up for it with our kids
Same reason I found this song. I just ended an abusive relationship. The damage to my body will heal but the emotional damage is what's hardest. I be forgiven him and hope he gets the help he needs and that maybe he will heal too. I know I will
Wow I just woke up and this song set the tone for my day. We all need to hold on, few can be beaten. Wise words from wise singers. It's going to be a great day!
I used for years, I lied, I stole, I cheated anyone I could. One day I had an awaking. No matter how bad I beat myself up I realized there are still some of us that are still struggling. This song is my mantra. No matter your situation always remember, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, find your peace, call a friend, DON'T EVER, EVER, GIVE UP.
So many people I know who have been through the darkest...this song has been their backbone. I've never listened to it until now. What a powerful song. If more music was like this,how much more healing would there be in this world
You can have family/friends around 24/7 & still feel like you're losing the battle. I'm grateful to still be here 🙏 Thank You Justin! Your words/lyrics save lives. I'm living proof. 💜
I actually feel sad for those that don’t get to ever hear your music. You’re vocals and your music are a Godsend. Prayers for a long happy life for you❤
This song is like a spiritual encounter. I've never in my life had a song hit me so deep and on so many different levels. I've never seen an artist put such feeling into a video. I'm fascinated with listening, but also watching him act through what he's saying because he expresses it so open-heartedly. Absolutely beautiful. This is what music should be. People who don't like this just aren't listening.
I hope you underdtand the true impact this song has had on people. This song, has pulled me from the deep end over and over again, when i thought there was only one way left to go. This song, has meant everything to me. Thank you. I hope youve truely found peace. Im constantly fighting to find mine, but this song keeps me moving in the right direction.
My legend. My lookup. My motivation. We all have a choice! You choose. Fail or Rise!!! And I choose to RISE! Thank you for reminding me what is Life. God Bless!.
what remarkable musical talent this band has... I can relate to nearly all their songs and it helps me get through each and every day... you guys are incredible... and better live.. anyone who the opportunity to see them go.... what an experience.
Billy Ruxton I'm with you 100%!! One of the very few bands out there that are even better live! They're absolutely amazing...I've had the luxury and absolute pleasure of seeing them many times in concert and actually have met them a few times afterwards! I would follow them around the world to listen & watch to them perform live! Lol Justin is an amazing singer,songwriter, performer and inspiration to so many. They all rock...gotta love the violin! I've been listening to them over 13 years & they have helped me thru the hardest times of my life...amazing to see his journey in life thru his music and how far he's come. More people need to find Blue October and listen to some real music with so much feeling and substance behind it...not the meaninglessness, superficial garbage they call music these days! Blue October ROCKS!!!!!
Hey dad I'm here listening to this song and I know you are too. just wanna say how much i love you and adore you. You are my everything. and we r gonna fight this cancer.
I used to listen to Blueboctober in the late 2000s I came back to see what this band is up to and this song hit home so hard. Beautiful song that literally left me in tears. Wow.
Just spent a month in jail doing cold turkey detox, and Justin's music carried me through every step of it. I wanted everyone to Hate Me at first, then during the hallucinations I wanted to drown Into The Ocean, then I faced my Fear and gave it over to God, then I came out the other side strong as fuck! And I focused on Home and seeing that my actions Makes You Happy. I got to come Home yesterday, and I'm such a grateful fan. Thank you for all the inspiration Justin. You are my spirit animal. Your story was my true inspiration. You brought me out clean. I gave it all to God, and I'm working on rebuilding my family. Thank you again. You are the best!
We're all on different stages in our journey through life. I'm a little late to the party with this one but I've been listening to Blue October since I was 8 (I'm 20 now) and honestly right now on my journey through life I needed this song. I'm going to get the help that I need and this will help me get through it. Thank you Justin
2 months clean, now I'm faced with the feelings of depression, anxiety and other shit, I read about this song in a recovery group and I'm so glad I did! This song gets me through each and every day!
I've loved blue October since '06 and I've listened to his story since then. and this cd is awesome and got me threw a lot. I've been trying to get clean and sober. I start treatment in June and this cd has really been helping me not use. Music is power. Music heals. Music helps. 😀
I am dealing with the same thing I have wasted so much of my life on drugs and lost so much its been a battle but it's a battle we can win and make a difference in our life keep up the good work and just remember you are not alone
This song always reminds me that I am stronger than the abuse I suffered, that I survived, that my trauma is nothing compared to the strength and resilience and determination. Thank you for giving everyone this song.
When everything gets to much. And I feel like I don't need to be here anymore. I come here, listen and read your comments. It brings me peace knowing so many have overcome.
This song came on my playlist yesterday. Honestly, first time I heard anything of your music. But this song was just exactly what I needed, and listening to it again. As an addict in recovery (14 months clean after 22 years) I am struggling with a lot of insecurities, and fear cripples me at times. Listening to the lyrics "I don't have to let the damage consume me". Thank you! (Made a point to listen to some of your other songs as well, and I am now hooked, definitely a fan)
Congratulations on your continuing recovery! Welcome to the 'Justin/ Blue October fan club' I've been following Blue October and Justin since 1997, and they have been a huge part of my life since I first heard Black Orchid. Justin's presence and power and the raw honesty in his music has often been the only thing keeping me moving. If you EVER get a chance, go to a Meet and Greet with Justin. It's WORTH the price, as he is an extremely kind and sweet person. He LOVES to hear about how his music has impacted people, especially people he has helped in some way. I've met him at a formal meet n greet, and also at a random street corner when he was in town for a concert, walking around the town, and he was equally awesome each time. Remember to always GET BACK UP!
Congratulations on your continuing recovery! "Breathe" and take each day one at a time, this song had so much meaning for me a few years ago and now that I have a deeper connection with God the lyrics mean so much more to me.
As a ptsd sufferer after a brain tumour operation and all the things that happened after it plus a bad break up last year, this song has helped me more than Justin and the band could ever know. Every morning, when things are tough and during the long nightmare filled nights this has always grounded me.
My 11 year old daughter loves Blue October. 💘 She suffers from Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and mild schizophrenia. Blue October has got her through it. We love you Blue October 💙

Lindsey Holcomb Congratulations on 7 months sober! Keep doing what you're doing that helps you stay sober. I love hearing success stories like yours. I know the battle of addiction is a daily battle! Everyday is a new day, stay positive my friend 💗 and know you're not alone in this world.
Been dealing with PTSD and also being a disabled Veteran. Every time I feel like ending it all, I listen to this song. Semper Fidelis
Hang in there man... thank you for your service

I am not alone by Kari Kobe is my song when I feel on the edge x
Stay strong dear soul. We are survivors

My god man. This guy's singing his heart out... touches the deepest part of me.
SAME! He is amazing, his voice, emotion and, and his performances are so moving.
We always should capitalize our heavenly father’s name. God
@manirg03 🎯
Same ....every single time I listen to this song.💗
You said it perfectly. His words are obviously from his deepest thoughts from his heart.
Such an inspiration to me. So grateful for this band.
I've been an addict and alcoholic since I was 18 I'm now 33 and bc of his music I can proudly say that I am 99 days sober
Congratulations!! Keep on keeping on! 💙🥳
Congrats, let it be natural, and stop counting
Congratulations
Well done. I hope you stay on track and succeed.
Keep going!!!!
He gets it. Of all the singers out there who sing of depression, self harm, suicidal ideation, and heartache, his seems to be the most accurate and honest portral today. Cuts to the bone and speaks to the heart of me. Thank you, and for everyone who suffers this way, know that you are never alone, although it often feels that way.
+kim bit
Kim thank you for putting in words what I could not.
+kim bit Hear Ye! Hear ye!
+kim bit Yes he does, that is what bonded me to his words
+kim bit 100% with you.
+The_Squeakster. Twenty One Pilots is lifeeee!! ♥
Honestly I have to say probably one of the most under appreciated bands out there.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT MY FRIEND
A Blue October song needs only Justin’s vocals, and the band. No frills needed.
so true, they should have won so many awards.
honestly, 100% agree. im so lucky i came across them they.re incredible
without a doubt !
but most people lack depth out there, so maybe that's ok
Such passion in his facial expressions and voice. I can hear the strength and joy in his voice when he belts out "get back up"
Yesssss
@@Julia-vn5re 1
You should hear it in person…the best “total body goosebumps” from the beginning to the end…even after you see him a handful of times in concert!!!
Today….. After years of listening , I felt brave enough to share my story as well . Reading comments from every song , it just amazes me the affect this band has had on all of us . I left an abusive marriage in 2015 , we have kids so he is never going to go away but I’ve found my ground and stood it. this music has carried me through the anxiety , depression and hopelessness i felt . I was finally able to see them live last week. It was such an emotional experience for me , more than any one could ever understand. Thank you
This band is seriously one of the most under appreciated groups of all time to me. Justin's lyrics can be related to by anyone. That's a gift.
I agree cuz I can relate to him so much on a couple of songs mother one Hate Me..
Brandon Jeffers agreed. I have been a fan of his since the beginning. Its been amazing to see how hes transformed over the years. Incredible man
Apparently he thinks he has to write boring lyrics now to look like he is staying sober. That sucks. I guess we wait until he can write freely again.
Brandon Jeffers TOTALLY TRUE ON THAT...IVE BEEN INTO BLUE OCTOBER SINCE THEY FIRST CAME OUT...IM STILL AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE STILL NOT HEARD OF THEM!!! BOY HAVE THEY BEEN MISSING OUT!!
+Snurp Tinynarwhal Oops! The band told you "not" all caps - better tell them you forgot
Hey. I'm Marley. I'm 12 years old and I am a week out of self harm and 5 months out of addiction of vaping, smoking, and alcohol. I grew up in an abusive house and was s*xually assaulted a lot of my life. God/whomever bless Blue October for making this song. My mom showed me this song and I'm so thankful for that. I showed my friend DJ this song because he is also going through stuff. Love you Blue October. 💙💙💙
XOXO,
MarMar J❤️
4:47 Marley, you are so brave and beautiful to admit at your young age the things that you have. I am so proud to be able to read this and wish that I had been that brave at 12, 40+ years ago. I have been extremely self destructive in my life because it mirrors your own. I am much older and still have so much to learn as you do. The one piece of advice I can offer/give someone your age that I can see a reflection of myself in is 1) every morning when you stand in front of the mirror you say to yourself “Marley if no one has told you today that they love you I love you” and hug yourself tightly 2) no matter what is wrong in your life, no matter the pain, past, horrific thoughts and situations, no matter how broken you may feel, every single day you have to put both feet on the ground and put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward in your life away from this part. You will never forget what happened however it does not create or define who you will become as an adult but it will always be there and a part of you. I am so sorry that you had to struggle and survive this at such a young age because I remember those horrible times and moments when I had no power or control or choices. But remember this kiddo, you are not just a survivor, like me you are a mother fucking warrior now and you must keep telling your story. You may be able to help another child or adult regardless if you know it or not. I will be keeping you and your mother in my prayers each and every day. Good luck with your future and keep going forward and never give up hope.
Hey Mar💙 I hope you’re on EIGHT months now! 😊 stay strong 💪
Glad you found the song..amazing band with such great songs
Don't let anyone tell you you're not enough...best advice i got..sometimes you have to wait till the right wind blows, put up your sail and get closer to the destination...happiness
Hey there, not gonna preach to you, but long story short, God brought me out of a destructive addiction that destroyed my marriage. Almost lost my kids and everything, but after 40 years of doing things my way I gave up and gave it to God and got saved. Through Jesus, God restored me and then some. He’s a good God and didn’t die on a cross to make it hard. All the love and prayers your way!
I’m a long term chronic pain patient and I’m still here because of their music. Sounds dramatic but it’s the truth. Those times I was so close to ending it all, I put on their music and somehow found the strength to keep on. I thank God for Justin and Blue October. It’s the package. The violin and drums? Touch my soul.
I’m in the same boat. Have Trigeminal Neuralgia (for 6 years now and just getting worse..) and was driving to my pain doctor appointment and this song came on in my car - it’s on my playlist but I almost forgot about this song until my phone decided to play it. And I just started tearing up while listening, the last bit really got me. Now l’m watching this video while I’m sitting in the patient room waiting to see my dr..
Not dramatic at all. I also live in chronic pain and feel the same way. The 1st time I heard it live in 2015, I cried like a baby. 💙

Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re being dramatic because of chronic pain issue. I have full body Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and I’m so tired of people thinking I’m being dramatic when I find something to relate to because they can’t relate to what I go through. Stand proud in the things that get you through the day! 🖤
One year ago, this song brought me to bountiful tears. Now, I see the ‘shadows’ lifted and great accomplishment replacing the sadness. I am no longer afraid of who I am to others. To those battling, keep going. The sun is ahead. I am living proof. I am still evolving. I think no one ever stops.❤
your absolutely spot on your shared words. thank you.
The only band/man I've ever known who gives the same passionate singing in his videos as he does on stage. ....not the "pretty" lip syncing. But the "I'm screaming with all I have in my body until you can hear me through this screen" singing. I will never not respect that. And, I'm also in love with the revival in this song. It felt very true to him unlike a couple more recent tracks. "The same" but with growth. Which is the kind of "different" that maintains authenticity and integrity. And that's the most admirable transition a band/person can make. I love it. Moving song, video, person, band. Always.
Great post! Totally agree
I agree
This fully represents my point of view aswell ! Cheers :)
what about Nirvana? they hated lip syncing so much that when ask to do so Kurt Cobain sung so low that he wawsnt even saying anything, and the bass player just stood there dancing
Good example. There are/were many other older bands that were awesome in the ways PG was trying to explain. She forgot about the other half of the band though, Justin would be nowhere without his band and esp Ryan(violin and strings)that is a huge part of their sound for me.

This song is so real and raw and I love it!
It's giving me hope ✨💕

🤍🤍🤍🤍
Justin,
Thank you for you and the bands music. I am 56 years old and have been suffering from chronic depression my whole life. My daughter sent me this video, and has been a blessing. We saw you and the band in Albuquerque on November 4th. I was blown away. THANK YOU so much. My healing is getting better thanks to you and BLUE OCTOBER. Please don't stop writing incredible songs. I know you are making a POSITIVE impact in so many lives. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
Keep going!!!
I am my own worst enemy, I criticize myself in everything I do and I sometimes find that I hate myself, I listen to Fear and Home and it brings me back to being the husband and father I need to be. God love Justin and Blue October for creating this art and giving it to those of us who struggle everyday.
❤
Be strong friend
This guy sings with such raw emotion. Speaks to people on the deepest level. Gotten me through some really hard times . Thanks man , truly amazing
❤
I love the part when he screams "get up"... i can feel the emotion in his voice. As if to say, "You can do it, no matter who you are; and i'm your proof."
Yes!!!!!!
That's it caus no matter what kinda darkness lives and how small we feel, we are worth it
Absolutely
Well, honestly, I don't get that from Justin... I keep getting that "YOU'RE your proof!" Kinda thing... Taking on this song and others as a cadence helped me keep in mind what Will Smith had to say during his retelling of his paradigm shift with "fear" and jumping out of a perfectly good airplane... There's certain people that have spoken/narrated some motivational stuff that I want to carry with me, slowly replacing all the heavy stuff I didn't CHOOSE to carry with me. (Yes, Linkin Park reference.) THIS song, home, calling you, and into the ocean have helped me grow past that self deprecation and justifying negative self-talk that was keeping me from being self compassionate... Guess I can give myself a chance these days?
Live in Texas version...is the 1
Most underrated songwriter ever. His songs hit you right in the soul, because you know they came straight from his own.
Justin I know you probably won't see this, but you have given ME the inspiration to motivate my SON to quit heroin. I asked him once "What is your biggest reason for running to heroin?" He replied "My fear of everything."
Hi, I'm wondering how you and your son are doing.❤❤❤❤❤
I'll never be able to accurately explain how much his music means to me. Every lyric of every song speaks to me on so many levels. I absolutely LOVE this band!
same my father listens to there music because it speaks to him his name is also Justin I don't know much about him besides he likes this band I only meet him once when I was little but just listening to this music makes all the surrounding trouble go away.
I so agree Keely! My fiancé hates their music and I think it is because he can't handle the emotions. The emotion in every single song is what makes Justin and the rest of the band fucking AMAZING!!!!!
+Michelle Brooks Don't marry him, mark my words and you'll remember this comment some day
incredible band.
Me too. He speaks to my soul
In October, my husband left me. In December, my mom died unexpectedly. Fear of what horror lurks around the next corner follows me every day. But this song has touched me like no other has for a very long time. Thank you for writing these beautiful words. I listen to this song over and over, tears sliding down my face, reminding myself, "Today, I don't have to fall apart. I don't have to be afraid. I don't have to let the damage consume me." I'm getting back up. Thank you, Blue October.
this is inspiration.
Peyton Olson Thank you, Peyton. Things really are getting better all the time. I still have very bad days, but I have beautiful, wonderful days full of hope, love, and happiness too. Take care. :)
***** Always believe things happen for a reason. Sometimes we get beat down so badly, but things will all make sense one day. Keep positive and know you can get through anything.
Thank you! :)
Stay strong you got this:)
This is one of the best songs ever written. As someone who struggels with fear I can't explain how personal this feels. PS this man has no idea how gifted he is. I have a piece of art that reminds me of this song/scene hanging on my wall. "Get back up!" (Its just an old beautiful painting of an oceanfront with rock formations.Painted by a woman who was an art teacher.)
One of my favorite memories with my sister was at a Blue October concert, holding her hand and crying while we sang this song. She passed from her addiction and I still listen to this song and think about holding her hand. Blue October has gotten me through most of the pain in my life and they still do.
❤
Sorry about your sister. Music is a powerful thing. Been around forever since Jesus for a reason. Touches the soul and makes us feel alive
🖤🖤
🤝💕מי ייתן ותמצא שלווה
Fentanyl took my brother a few months ago. Nothing comes remotely close to describing the pain of losing a parent or sibling. I hope you're doing okay out there. ❤️
Did anyone else get goosebumps this is a glorious day for this man and many others who are watching this felt that amazing presence thank you and God Bless You🙏❤☝️
yes!!!
YES!!! Everytime I listen to this song I do. Which is often.
Yes💕
I get chills watching this video, because imo, it's not a "video!" It's like he's screaming to the world... really expressing himself. It's beautiful.
Same
Believe in yourself
Justin is a true artist. I liked No Doubt too. And thanks for Cripes and the Fly. I forgot all about it. Pease.😊
I know....me too ! :(
Megan Bordenave So very true
To all who reading this...
You are bold
You are so brave
You're still alive and overcame so much things
You are loved
You are beautiful
Love❤
I always turn to this song when my anxiety gets the best of me. The emotion he sings with is amazing and the lyrics reach my soul. This song ALWAYS helps me in my darkest moments. Thank you for that.
Amen!
GET BACK UP, GET UP, UP! So powerful. ❤ It took me years to get back up after I lost everything. There were times I actually shouted at myself to GET BACK UP!! 😭 But I got back up, and this song means so much to me. Should be a massive hit for mental health.
Sue, great job!
Me too Sue and we aren't alone. This band is a blessing to us that weren't as blessed in our heads until our hearts took charge and then we understood life.
FEAR OH YEA FEAR WILL BREAK YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU LIKE YOU WHERE NEVER ENOGH ❤❤❤
Hang in there Sue!
❤
This song. My addiction, my depression. This song bringing my addiction to an end, happier days ahead. Blue October, every song inspires the hell out of me. Thank you.
❤
I'm searching for happier day's. Fear is huge, but I'm not going to let it decide my future. Thanks, Blue October!
@@shellysmith8431 I read just this week: Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
We just saw blue October live in Asbury Park. While singing this song, Justin grabbed my fiancé’s hand and sang to her. There are no words into how amazing that was. The pure rawness and emotion of this band is second to none.
I've been dealing with so much depression and darkness in the last year ....I just found this song ....its empowering....the emotion in his voice and his so gs from the past ....gives me some hope
You hang on to that hope; it's the life-force we need TO get back up. You're stronger than you know.
4 months clean! This song has helped me get over the battle. Thank you Blue October! Can't wait to see you on the 29th!
Two years clean myself it makes me so happy to see another person like us that got clean
This song has become a daily anthem for me. Ive been dealing with depression for 15 years and it was at its worst this year. I seriously considered taking my own life this year, but im still here. Im only 30, i have many years ahead of me. I dont have to fall apart. Noone does. Get back up! if life knocks you down 7 times, get back up 8.
be strong! we want you here!!
See a therapist, please. There’s help, people love you!
💙🌊🌤🙏🏼
If u need to talk ,I know how u feel, I can listen
This song is amazing i listen to it at least once a day makes me feel like i am not alone
Been a addict scene 18 and I am going on 2 years clean and this song continues to help me through some of my hardest times. Thank you God so much for this opportunity to listen to this song
Living with PTSD from a deadly relationship is something I have been coping with for 12 years. Going through everything from addiction to bad relationships, the music that Blue October creates is the most Beautiful Music to my soul. Thank You Justin and the band. I love you guys. ❤️🙏❤️
I feel this, I struggle with the same. The worst struggle is that he abused my children also and I have tremendous guilt from being so blind to it.
@@lalanianeal203 I am So Sorry you and your children ever went through that. It’s Not your fault though. It’s Not. I lost my son to adoption after the dad chose drugs and lost his job. He also chose to cheat on me again and again. We lost our apartment and I couldn’t find anyone to help me. Even organizations. So I made the best choice for my son and the most selfless choice. So don’t blame yourself. Because I’m betting that you did your best in this horrible relationship. God Bless You. ❤️🙏
😭this song helped my wife understand the way I feel ever day and has helped me find the strength to keep going
beautiful story
This song has helped me as well
Helps me too. Severe anxiety disorders, depression etc best song I've heard in a long time!! Incredible music & man!
You’ve got this, Shawn! I hope you are doing well. Keep on keeping on.
Me too, help me to go on without my brother. He dies two years Ago. The memories still live in me, but now I can walk, again. Keep going
3:50 is my favourite part. You can just hear the release of letting go of fear, and to keep going, in Justin's voice. Powerful!
3:46. 'Get back up.'
Everything leading up to that moment, I get chills.
I just listened to it for 3:50 and you are right! He is motivating like that live.
Jeezus, that VOICE!! Every whisper, every plea & shout, conveys exactly the emotion he's trying to show. He's a master & doesn't hesitate to share it all.
Anyone else just go straight to the feels at 3:53? that range, the message, and the ocean crashing. gets me every time
Chills ... every time
This song has taken me through depression, anxiety, the loss of my best friend and was my anthem during cancer treatment the last year and a half. Meeting the guys was on my bucket list last year. I got to meet them in Orlando. They were all so kind. I sing this song while I am having to do MRI and CT scans. I sang this song while I was in the hospital 4 times in the last year. I have a hospital playlist and it is on there. It keeps me going. Thank you.

@Eren Cox sorry to hear that! I'm at the hospital now getting my CT scan to see if I'm still cancer free. I hope your daughter does well with treatment.
All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down
So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to let the damage
Consume me,
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up
I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me
The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free, yeah
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
And now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
I used to fall but now I get back up
I'm moving on
Oh God just move on
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
Get back up
Get up
Feel it, fear, wow
And now fear, fear in itself can use you up
And then breaks you down
You're never enough
And I used to fall
Breathe
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask him to help you carry on

I love this band, Justin sings with knowledge, s ok be smart. We all know the feeling, get real!!
Beautiful
Omg!!!! I was getting ready to post these very words...
Wow your interpretation of the lyrics are truly just all really fucked up & wrong!!!
5 years sober. See you in another year
A song I will never ever get tired of listening to ❤
I lost my husband of 20 years...it killed me. We loved Blue October. This song and many others has got me through my husbands passing. This song inparticular..because I was scared. The fear of being alone and moving on...but I got back up.
Angel Doemer I’m so sorry you lost your husband 😢
Angel Doemer, my sincere condolence for the lost of a loved one, may you find peace :)
Angel Doemer I lost my husband of 20yrs we were married at 19. I played this song at his funeral as he always struggled with pain in his life from childhood. I heard this song the day he passed and new from the first verse! Sorry about your loss.
💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🌷🌷🌷😇😇😇
Bless you. May peace be in your soul!
I love the fact that I can come back to this song months later and real people are still having discussions about the video. Thank you Justin and thank you to the community. There is hope in humanity!
10 years I've had Blue October and Justin in my "LIFE"!!! TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE A GREAT BAND AND "FRIEND"! I PROMISE ALL OF YOU IT GET'S BETTER AND EASIER EVERYDAY 🎉❤😊
PTSD fear is especially potent. That FEAR needs its own word. It’s been almost 2 years….. but
I just faced my attacker. Did what needed to be done and as I walk/ran from the courthouse to my car the only thing in my mind was the word FEAR. The second the door closed I BURST. burst into tears. The burst must have had a shockwave because tears and fears and forms of energy I can’t name, all burst out of me at the same time.
. Immediately pull up this video and ugly cry while my heart stitched together for the first time since almost 2 years ago.
Thank you Justin.
I just back up.
So proud of you
I wake up every morning struggling with Depression and PTSD. And I fear that I will feel this way the rest of my life. I don't want to feel this way everyday, it wears me out. I heard this song and it make me want to accept what i'm going through and keep moving forward.. I fear this everyday, I tell myself to breathe so I can beat this fear. Thank you for this song. I play it almost everyday...your words are so inspiring
You gonna get through! I had the same issue and I felt exactly the way you said it. It's so hard to get through but you can do it!!
***** thank you for your thoughts and words of encouragement
+angie allen i know how you feel. ive been in a depression since i was 13. im 28 now and its only gotten worse. i no longer have the strength to fight. i have virtually no reasons to remain alive. the only reason why i get through each day is because of this band.
no one cares
nahahhh
I rarely ever post comments about anything in regards to my life, but I have a very bad fear of driving long distances. My fiance lives 9 hours away and I finally made the decision to overcome that fear by making that drive. Not only did this song motivate me to do the drive, but on my drive home days later, I played this song again and it was invigorating. I felt insanely free, accomplished and so overly proud of myself. That "Get back up!" makes me cry like a baby everytime.
Im 43 and have terrible panic attacks and i can barely car at all anymore...congrats..thays awesome.
I don't know you, but I am so proud of you! There is nothing you can't do and I am so glad you learned this. :-) (I also cry when he says, "Get back up!")
@@bonbon0416 Thank you so much!
that's so amazing especially finding the courage and strength to do what I'm guessing your fears would hold you back , I can relate its pretty amazing this song. yes that get back up part makes me cry every time to.but u did it im so happy for you and that accomplishment
So proud of you! I myself am getting there, after two really bad accidents in finally getting comfortable back on the freeway but I'm getting there.
I only saw Blue October two weeks and one day ago...I became instantly in love with them. Justin sings with soul and to souls of many different ages because he is so real and sincere...he lived what he sings...during meet and greet I learned he is so funny that I almost had tears!!! Just an amazing compilation of talent, love, music and humor. I love them.
This man helped me so much with my anxiety and lack of self worth and domestic abuse. Thank you so much xxx
❤
I'd never really listened to Blue October before... But this song came on the radio while I was on my way to the hospital to take my father off of Life Support. I can't even begin to explain how much of a source of strength this song has become for me. My father passed away last night at 7:13pm and I was humming this to myself as we waited for him to pass. Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss, I can relate. It's wonderful that you can find solace in this video, as I do too, and have to thank my Wife for turning me on to it! :)
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in December and find a lot of comfort in this song too. I hope you are doing ok. HUGS to you, my friend.
SilverRain79 I am so truly sorry for loss. I lost my mother the year before my son was born. This song brings so many people comfort in so manys.. I'm glad it was there when u needed it most as it was for me as well.
It must still be a much loved song for you
Anyone that says music doesn't heal, needs to hear this song! Everytime I hear it, I feel it touch the deepest depths of my soul! Thank you Blue October!
❤
Only found out about this band 2 days ago as I went to their concert. Can’t stop listening since then. Love it.
You are just on time. Music is timeless.
I was just introduced to this band here recently through a friend and its like finding a long lost friend that I have needed for so long. I'm so grateful I have them to walk with me as I finally start to heal.
Still never seen someone pour so much raw energy and emotion into their music besides Blue October.
You should see em live!!
Glad to hear that....
@@solti235 ...I've been wanting to see them live, I love this group! I've been listening to them since the beginning.
They put on an amazing show!!!
Away from the sun
One year ago, I came to this video and commented about how much I wanted the lyrics to be true for me, just like it is for Justin. At the time, I didn't actually believe or think that that was a possibility for me. I had completely given up on myself and the world, and any possibility of me getting any better, being happy.
But here I am, one year later, and the things that I thought were so impossible, things that I never believed I'd have for myself, the things that Justin has, I now DO have. Something I so longed for and wanted I FINALLY have. I haven't been happy in years and now I finally am. I believe that things can change for me and get better. They've already started. And believe me when I say that this song has been a HUGE part of that healing. I'd listen to it so much and just want this.
And now I have it.
Sarah Catherine keep in touch, we are in the same place. 💙😘
Heather Estes I hope you continue getting better!
I am hoping I can get where you are. I have BPD and am broke, likely/about-to-be homeless, and so suicidal and everyday is just me searching for a reason not to give up. I am sorry I'm a burden just saying this on youtube. I'm just tired and have no where to go. I need hope, and I'm so jealous of Justin. I wish I had my friend back.
eskimo289 You'll get here one day! You just have to stay strong. I was diagnosed last summer with BPD (bipolar disorder) and it's been such a long, hard road. I spent five years being depressed, four of them suicidal, two years self-harming and one suicide attempt. I NEVER thought that I would ever be where I am now. I know how you're feeling now.
All I can say is stay strong. Make goals for yourself and keep looking forward to them, making them possible. You absolutely can do this. I believe in you 100%. You'll have what Justin has, too
BPD for me is Borderline Personality Disorder. Sometimes misdiagnosed as bipolar though. And I have depression too, obviously. But medication hasn't helped me with that. I am 30, and I've been this way since half-way through my teens. I've tried to grow and change so many things, I don't even know who I am... and I don't know if trying to change MORE is going to have any different results than it has been up to now. I feel hopeless and jealous that others have found things I can't. I wish I had the hope for me you do. I haven't given up, but man I don't feel any hope anymore. I want it all to just end.
3:45 Gives me chills and strength every time. ❤️
I am 48 days no drugs an alcohol been an addict since i was 15 i am now 42I have ptsd severe anxiety and depression and I am a recovering addict in early recovery and I am grateful to be alive and this song is so real and speaks volumes to me I heard it for the first time in detox an I listen to it often as it helps me in my recovery an when I'm having a hard time I listen when I'm happy I listen to it as well its truly a beautifully written masterpiece thank you so much
Dear Lord I wish this song would play on loud speakers throughout the world for all to feel. #fear
This song is AWESOME HUH.... “ in the of the song when he sings, SO GET BACK UPPPP, GET UP!! UPPPP! “ Gets me every time..... such an emotional song!
Word!!!
Yes!
@@armandogonzales2689 oh my goodness yes what a great idea! Let's put some worldwide speakers
That's my wish, can't stop listening 🎧
Looking back on their old stuff, THIS is how a band/front man should evolve, keeping things familiar but actually maturing as time goes on. Once upon a time Blue October sang about somber topics such as depression, divorce, suicide, and hatred now have a song about forgiveness, compassion, acceptance, perseverance and happiness. All of my respect goes to Justin Furstenfeld for not only allowing himself to walk down a better path, but also showing people out there that life doesn't always have to be about the bad things. Mad respect Justin, keep up all the fantastic work!
this song has got me up every day for the last 5 years. I have massive depression and anxiety. thank you! I'm so happy you have your life under control. been a fan for many many years
I feel you're pain , Mrs. Julia, I've just started doing daily affirmations, basically telling myself, keep moving forward.
❤
This band means so much to me. I’m trying to get through addiction and his music helps me feel stronger ❤❤
Hang in there.. it gets better I promise
We believe in you @Zombieland-mp6cx You are never alone❣️🫶🏻🤗
If you do anything before you die, watch him perform this live. It's a must.
Allison Ellayne seen it twice myself. its something else. People weeping and singing along. I wonder if he realizes what he has done for people?
I saw him last night! Such a beautiful experience!
I was totally weeping!
agreed, great isn't he?
so very very true
That "GET BACK UP" is everything!
Yeah! It's so hard sometimes... But thanks for the wonderful music and lyrics that many of us need!
Get back up, its like he is behind me pushing me up!
It sure is!
It's everything. I still fall, but I do get back up. This song is near and dear to my heart.
@@Charlotte-gk7yq
Absolutely!
i have no words… just tears rolling down my cheeks.
I watched him last night in Huntsville, Alabama. When he came into the crowd and was hugging us while still singing, it was incredible. You didn’t feel like it was a celebrity. It felt more like a friend coming to uplift you in your time of pain. A lot of people tears being shed. I’m very thankful for Blue October and thankful for Justin. The lyrics have definitely kept being going through very tough times.
❤
This song keeps me holding on when every fibre of my being wants to end it all. Borderline, addict, panic disorder and depression and things I battle with every day. Justin's words have kept me alive and moving forward for many years. I've dropped 120 pounds walking to his music nightly. He is so humble. I strive to be like him.
DawnInCanada God bless you and much love
always remember you have the blue community behind you to fol,low your dreams!
We have something in common
My son's dad and the love of my life passed away on October 14th 2017 early in the Morning and I fell into a deep depression and about 3 month's after he passed I Found this song and it helped me in so many Way's.

This song has drug me forcefully out of a deep depression more than once. The words are like a mantra to me. It's like a reminder that you are good enough and there is a reason to continue on. Eternally grateful for these words, especially today. Thank you.
Me also you aren't alone. Love from Tennessee 💞✨💞
❤
I listened to this song over and over before I faced my ex husband in court for a domestic violence case... I get chills every time I hear it... I can relate to many of his songs...
cyber hug to you sister!
tita aceofspades I to related this to my ex husband and domestic violence but what this song did for me was made me understand my husband even more with that he became my best friend ten years three kids later and wouldnt trade it for the world haveing forgivness in my heart for what he did to me that made him make up for it with our kids
Same reason I found this song. I just ended an abusive relationship. The damage to my body will heal but the emotional damage is what's hardest. I be forgiven him and hope he gets the help he needs and that maybe he will heal too. I know I will
your stronger then you think you got this
Respect
#justin do you have any idea how many lives you've saved just by putting your feelings in your music?
Crystal Smith he’s wonderful
Amen to that!
Lots and he knows and he is a wonderful person by far ❤️
Crystal Smith damn right!! To listen to someone who suffers from ideation every day
My heart is attached to this song .
Wow I just woke up and this song set the tone for my day. We all need to hold on, few can be beaten. Wise words from wise singers. It's going to be a great day!
The tears from my darkness just rolling!!!!
We do recover ❤
Keep fighting the fight!! Don't fight the battle alone!! It gets better i promise you! You matter to someone ❤️

Yes, we do. Thanks God
Justin is such an inspiration!!! Love his voice & love Blue October SO MUCH! 💕
"Get back up, get up, UP!" God so powerful ❤
I know. Goosebumps every time. You can feel it when he sings it
I used for years, I lied, I stole, I cheated anyone I could. One day I had an awaking. No matter how bad I beat myself up I realized there are still some of us that are still struggling. This song is my mantra. No matter your situation always remember, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, find your peace, call a friend, DON'T EVER, EVER, GIVE UP.
I really needed to read that today. Thank you for sharing.
❤
So many people I know who have been through the darkest...this song has been their backbone. I've never listened to it until now. What a powerful song. If more music was like this,how much more healing would there be in this world
You can have family/friends around 24/7 & still feel like you're losing the battle. I'm grateful to still be here 🙏 Thank You Justin! Your words/lyrics save lives. I'm living proof. 💜
Thank you Blue October for helping so many people in pain with your wonderful music! This is how we all will unite in the end!
❤
"GET BACK UP!!! GET UP!!!! GET UPPPPP!!!!!!" So powerful, man this song helps me get back up. Thanks Blue October for everything.
I actually feel sad for those that don’t get to ever hear your music. You’re vocals and your music are a Godsend. Prayers for a long happy life for you❤
❤
This song is like a spiritual encounter. I've never in my life had a song hit me so deep and on so many different levels. I've never seen an artist put such feeling into a video. I'm fascinated with listening, but also watching him act through what he's saying because he expresses it so open-heartedly. Absolutely beautiful. This is what music should be. People who don't like this just aren't listening.
I have to WATCH it and listen full volume!! It MOVES...
That it does. It's a rarity with modern music.
It makes me tear up every time I watch it because he feels every word he's singing and he makes me feel it right along with him.
Lacie Price it is mesmerizing!
I must've watched this 1000 times. It just doesn't get old.
You can definitely see how much passion he has for this topic of the song
I hope you underdtand the true impact this song has had on people. This song, has pulled me from the deep end over and over again, when i thought there was only one way left to go. This song, has meant everything to me. Thank you. I hope youve truely found peace. Im constantly fighting to find mine, but this song keeps me moving in the right direction.
My legend. My lookup. My motivation. We all have a choice! You choose. Fail or Rise!!! And I choose to RISE! Thank you for reminding me what is Life. God Bless!.
what remarkable musical talent this band has... I can relate to nearly all their songs and it helps me get through each and every day... you guys are incredible... and better live.. anyone who the opportunity to see them go.... what an experience.
true..
Billy Ruxton I'm with you 100%!! One of the very few bands out there that are even better live! They're absolutely amazing...I've had the luxury and absolute pleasure of seeing them many times in concert and actually have met them a few times afterwards! I would follow them around the world to listen & watch to them perform live! Lol Justin is an amazing singer,songwriter, performer and inspiration to so many. They all rock...gotta love the violin! I've been listening to them over 13 years & they have helped me thru the hardest times of my life...amazing to see his journey in life thru his music and how far he's come. More people need to find Blue October and listen to some real music with so much feeling and substance behind it...not the meaninglessness, superficial garbage they call music these days! Blue October ROCKS!!!!!
Billy Ruxton ☺

Cassandra Gonzalez xoxo 💜
Well said
Cassandra Gonzalez I am still praying for your father!! I lost my Daddy Nov.17th, 2017. I pray for you and yours everyday!!! Xoxo 💜
Much love
How is ur dad now
I used to listen to Blueboctober in the late 2000s I came back to see what this band is up to and this song hit home so hard. Beautiful song that literally left me in tears. Wow.
Just spent a month in jail doing cold turkey detox, and Justin's music carried me through every step of it. I wanted everyone to Hate Me at first, then during the hallucinations I wanted to drown Into The Ocean, then I faced my Fear and gave it over to God, then I came out the other side strong as fuck! And I focused on Home and seeing that my actions Makes You Happy. I got to come Home yesterday, and I'm such a grateful fan. Thank you for all the inspiration Justin. You are my spirit animal. Your story was my true inspiration. You brought me out clean. I gave it all to God, and I'm working on rebuilding my family. Thank you again. You are the best!
We're all on different stages in our journey through life. I'm a little late to the party with this one but I've been listening to Blue October since I was 8 (I'm 20 now) and honestly right now on my journey through life I needed this song. I'm going to get the help that I need and this will help me get through it. Thank you Justin
2 months clean, now I'm faced with the feelings of depression, anxiety and other shit, I read about this song in a recovery group and I'm so glad I did! This song gets me through each and every day!
God bless you hon❤
I've loved blue October since '06 and I've listened to his story since then. and this cd is awesome and got me threw a lot. I've been trying to get clean and sober. I start treatment in June and this cd has really been helping me not use. Music is power. Music heals. Music helps. 😀
I listen to it everyday without fail. Music is definately a healing agent. Bless Justin for sharing his journey with all of us.
I am dealing with the same thing I have wasted so much of my life on drugs and lost so much its been a battle but it's a battle we can win and make a difference in our life keep up the good work and just remember you are not alone
go back to the smack hun..life is much easier qhen youre fucked up n high
This song always reminds me that I am stronger than the abuse I suffered, that I survived, that my trauma is nothing compared to the strength and resilience and determination. Thank you for giving everyone this song.
When everything gets to much. And I feel like I don't need to be here anymore. I come here, listen and read your comments. It brings me peace knowing so many have overcome.
This song came on my playlist yesterday. Honestly, first time I heard anything of your music. But this song was just exactly what I needed, and listening to it again. As an addict in recovery (14 months clean after 22 years) I am struggling with a lot of insecurities, and fear cripples me at times. Listening to the lyrics "I don't have to let the damage consume me". Thank you! (Made a point to listen to some of your other songs as well, and I am now hooked, definitely a fan)
Congratulations on your continuing recovery! Welcome to the 'Justin/ Blue October fan club' I've been following Blue October and Justin since 1997, and they have been a huge part of my life since I first heard Black Orchid. Justin's presence and power and the raw honesty in his music has often been the only thing keeping me moving. If you EVER get a chance, go to a Meet and Greet with Justin. It's WORTH the price, as he is an extremely kind and sweet person. He LOVES to hear about how his music has impacted people, especially people he has helped in some way. I've met him at a formal meet n greet, and also at a random street corner when he was in town for a concert, walking around the town, and he was equally awesome each time. Remember to always GET BACK UP!
Congratulations on your continuing recovery! "Breathe" and take each day one at a time, this song had so much meaning for me a few years ago and now that I have a deeper connection with God the lyrics mean so much more to me.
Light you up. Live version.
stay strong girl we are family feel free to connect please hope you are still ok Frans DE Wet
Kid: Dad, what's that man doing on the beach?
Dad: He's moving on, son, and he's happy for doing so.
Oh my God..yes
Exactly....
BEAUTIFUL
Nice
It's 2020 and that's still relevant
As a ptsd sufferer after a brain tumour operation and all the things that happened after it plus a bad break up last year, this song has helped me more than Justin and the band could ever know. Every morning, when things are tough and during the long nightmare filled nights this has always grounded me.
My 11 year old daughter loves Blue October. 💘
She suffers from Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and mild schizophrenia. Blue October has got her through it. We love you Blue October 💙
Have her genesight DNA tested for mthfr gene very common makes a lot if those things worse when you don't know/not supplementing. Speaking from experience
