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
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 am Lindsey, and I am an addict. I've got 7 months clean... I would not be alive today without the music of blue october. 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.
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."
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.
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! 🖤
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
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.
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.❤
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!!
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
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 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.
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. ❤️
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
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.
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.
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!.
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?
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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'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!!!!!
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.
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. ❤️🙏
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.
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 🎉❤😊
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'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 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.
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 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 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 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.
I can't stop watching this video. The pure raw and REAL emotion is addicting by itself Justin I asked you at the House of Blues concert Nov 2023 what your favorite song to play was.... You and the band said, "Fear". Now I get it. Its my favorite one to listen to now. Keep delivering your heart. All of you. Your music offers so much more than the average listening pleasure. There are powerful and extraordinary messages in the lyrics. But above all .... There's immeasurable power in the Way YOU SING
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.
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 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.
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.
This song Fear and hate me , changed me! I lost all my family that was hard enough! But the guilt of my selfish existence was the hardest thing I have had to deal with !! This song with knowing that JESUS CHRIST and his father love me no matter what gives me peace !! Hence the respect for the artist and his beautiful song ! GOD bless you all !! And reach for his never ending love and grace !❤❤
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!
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
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!
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.
"Fear, in its many forms-of loss, loneliness, change-reveals our vulnerability. Yet, it's within this vulnerability that we find our true strength, for in facing our fears, we learn resilience and the depth of our love for friends and family. It's a testament to our humanity, that even when things don't go right, we find ways to persevere and find light in the darkness."
I believe that Justin sees how many tortured souls he has helped and this is making him stronger. I am one of those souls. Thank you Justin. I have never had a song hit me this hard.
I heard this song at Rehab for the 1st time. Helped get me through those first 30 days and is still helping keep me clean & sober on those difficult days!
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
My uncle died yesterday, the day after his 61st birthday. Both he and his wife were hit by a car in a crosswalk. My uncle was the one who got me into music as a kid, and I always looked up to him. He showed me this music video at his house in 2017 and I'll never forget the experience. This song moved him deeply, and now I listen to it in tears. This song helps so much.
I adore Justin . Of all the artists out there his music speaks to me and my experiences the most viscerally. He really gets struggles with addiction , mental illness etc . I have anxiety , depression and ptsd and am a recovering addict and his music has got me through some dark times
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.
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
I lost my mom in August and an uncle 2 weeks later. The rest of my family is fractured almost beyond repair. 7 years sober but sometimes it's still so hard
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
My boyfriend's outlook on his life has GREATLY (bold & underlined) improved after discovering Justin & his music. Your story & growth & how ur blooming has inspired him to do some soul searching. Beautiful transformation to witness. My hat is off to u, it's on my heart & I'm kneeling in front of you... to say "Thank you". You're the only artist he's ever said he wishes he could meet & I believe that, Sir, is an honor.
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!
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 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.
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
my fiance was murdered in front of me, I held her in my arm holding her, telling her its going to be alright. I was helpless to help her all I could do was hold her and tell her I loved her and that she changed who I was as a man. since then, I've always been scared to have people get close. this song has been helping me break that. I love you Sarah, I'll see you soon.
. the only time I was miserable is when my brother killed himself. now death isn't a big deal to me. anyone can die in my family and I wouldn't care. because no one was as important to me as him. but he's gone now so me whining about will never bring him back
+john Thomason You are a very sad individual. You need help. You have no right to say things like that to someone. I'm sorry about your brother, but that doesn't give you the right to say things like that to other people. You can't call someone a liar just because you don't believe their story, you have no idea what the truth is.
+john Thomason Believe it or not, people go through some real shit in this world. Your the reason that people feel uncomfortable talking about to others, which I feel is the best medicine. It would probably be best if you kept your 12 year old thoughts to your self on the internet.
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.
It was approximately 8 years ago when I was at my lowest. For whatever reason I felt extremely lonely and especially in the evenings, it was almost unbearable. Like a cold veil that fell heavy on my body. A heavy weight I carried around. I came across this song by Blue October and found some comfort in it, and strength. And eventually I made the necessary changes in my life and got back up. For all of you who are struggling, there is always a sun behind the clouds, a light in the deepest darkness and a god beyond the demons. Keep going. I promise you, you will come out stronger. Do not give up. After all these years, I listen to the song with memories, but with a strong heart. Thank you, Blue October.
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❤

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
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 am Lindsey, and I am an addict. I've got 7 months clean... I would not be alive today without the music of blue october. 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. 💓
Congrats you can do it. Work the steps. We are cheering for you!!!!
Step 6 right now
Thabks for the encouragement
@@lindseyh7004 welcome
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.
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.
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.❤❤❤❤❤
5 years sober. See you in another year
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 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
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! 🖤
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!!!
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.
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❤

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

🤍🤍🤍🤍
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.
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
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!!!
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
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
😭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
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
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. ❤️
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
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:)
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!
❤
Most underrated songwriter ever. His songs hit you right in the soul, because you know they came straight from his own.
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!.
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 🎧
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
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.)
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.
❤
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
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 have no words… just tears rolling down my cheeks.
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'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
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
A song I will never ever get tired of listening to ❤
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!!!
Yes, we do. Thanks God
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💕
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.

Absolutely!
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!
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 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'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
This man helped me so much with my anxiety and lack of self worth and domestic abuse. Thank you so much xxx

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 🎉❤😊
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!

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.

You hang on to that hope; it's the life-force we need TO get back up. You're stronger than you know.
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....

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.

Hang in there.. it gets better I promise
We believe in you @Zombieland-mp6cx You are never alone❣️🫶🏻🤗

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 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 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.
❤
I can't stop watching this video. The pure raw and REAL emotion is addicting by itself Justin I asked you at the House of Blues concert Nov 2023 what your favorite song to play was.... You and the band said, "Fear". Now I get it. Its my favorite one to listen to now. Keep delivering your heart. All of you. Your music offers so much more than the average listening pleasure. There are powerful and extraordinary messages in the lyrics. But above all .... There's immeasurable power in the Way YOU SING
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.
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

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
62 days Sober today thank God
This song Fear and hate me , changed me! I lost all my family that was hard enough! But the guilt of my selfish existence was the hardest thing I have had to deal with !! This song with knowing that JESUS CHRIST and his father love me no matter what gives me peace !! Hence the respect for the artist and his beautiful song ! GOD bless you all !! And reach for his never ending love and grace !❤❤
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!
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
You are everything to me. Every single song you've ever made came straight down from God. I believe in you and your words
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!
❤
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.
"Fear, in its many forms-of loss, loneliness, change-reveals our vulnerability. Yet, it's within this vulnerability that we find our true strength, for in facing our fears, we learn resilience and the depth of our love for friends and family. It's a testament to our humanity, that even when things don't go right, we find ways to persevere and find light in the darkness."
I believe that Justin sees how many tortured souls he has helped and this is making him stronger. I am one of those souls. Thank you Justin. I have never had a song hit me this hard.
pinkfloydman have you listened to " the worry list", also Blue October... I have small children and that one made me really cry!
Sophia Plate i have too, i don't have a children, but the song made me understand a bit, really touching.
Staying sober is fucking hard but this song helps me everyday!! Today I don't have to fall apart 💞
Leona HALKETT good for you girl
Stay strong and hang in there!!!
Leona HALKETT I feel you
I heard this song at Rehab for the 1st time. Helped get me through those first 30 days and is still helping keep me clean & sober on those difficult days!
1 afterwards
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.
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
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
My uncle died yesterday, the day after his 61st birthday. Both he and his wife were hit by a car in a crosswalk. My uncle was the one who got me into music as a kid, and I always looked up to him. He showed me this music video at his house in 2017 and I'll never forget the experience. This song moved him deeply, and now I listen to it in tears. This song helps so much.
Praying for you 🙏
I'm so sorry I'll pray for you.
I adore Justin . Of all the artists out there his music speaks to me and my experiences the most viscerally. He really gets struggles with addiction , mental illness etc . I have anxiety , depression and ptsd and am a recovering addict and his music has got me through some dark times
Yesss me tooo! Hope you're doing well!
❤
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.

@@ivansnegireff3759 Thank You. 6 years, still sober
Sometimes even after 6years i still want to give it up
I lost my mom in August and an uncle 2 weeks later. The rest of my family is fractured almost beyond repair. 7 years sober but sometimes it's still so hard
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.
❤
My boyfriend's outlook on his life has GREATLY (bold & underlined) improved after discovering Justin & his music. Your story & growth & how ur blooming has inspired him to do some soul searching. Beautiful transformation to witness. My hat is off to u, it's on my heart & I'm kneeling in front of you... to say "Thank you". You're the only artist he's ever said he wishes he could meet & I believe that, Sir, is an honor.
"Get back up, get up, UP!" God so powerful ❤
I know. Goosebumps every time. You can feel it when he sings it
Thank you Blue October for changing my life in ways no one could ever understand!!!
I know that feel, I owe so much to Blue October is just amazing.
Me too.
They changed my life with this song also ;)
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!
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!
#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 .
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
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.
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
❤
my fiance was murdered in front of me, I held her in my arm holding her, telling her its going to be alright. I was helpless to help her all I could do was hold her and tell her I loved her and that she changed who I was as a man. since then, I've always been scared to have people get close. this song has been helping me break that. I love you Sarah, I'll see you soon.
Thank you. Means alot
. the only time I was miserable is when my brother killed himself. now death isn't a big deal to me. anyone can die in my family and I wouldn't care. because no one was as important to me as him. but he's gone now so me whining about will never bring him back
+john Thomason You are a very sad individual. You need help. You have no right to say things like that to someone. I'm sorry about your brother, but that doesn't give you the right to say things like that to other people. You can't call someone a liar just because you don't believe their story, you have no idea what the truth is.
+Nikolai Carr I'm fine I don't need help
+john Thomason Believe it or not, people go through some real shit in this world. Your the reason that people feel uncomfortable talking about to others, which I feel is the best medicine. It would probably be best if you kept your 12 year old thoughts to your self on the internet.
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
It was approximately 8 years ago when I was at my lowest. For whatever reason I felt extremely lonely and especially in the evenings, it was almost unbearable. Like a cold veil that fell heavy on my body. A heavy weight I carried around. I came across this song by Blue October and found some comfort in it, and strength. And eventually I made the necessary changes in my life and got back up. For all of you who are struggling, there is always a sun behind the clouds, a light in the deepest darkness and a god beyond the demons. Keep going. I promise you, you will come out stronger. Do not give up.
After all these years, I listen to the song with memories, but with a strong heart. Thank you, Blue October.
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❤
❤
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!
❤
