    I know I'm commenting way late on this, but for anyone who was even remotely touched by this song, I would look at where Blue October is touring nearest to you. Their concerts are astonishing. There will be tears, shouts of joy, laughter and hugs. They are truly a different animal in a live situation.

    This song breaks me in the best way. When he yells “Get back up!” I feel that in my soul. It’s a reminder that yes, I have fallen and I did lose my battle with my depression, but I’m still here and the only choice is to get back up. Let fear and depression know that I am not going down with out a fight. I love this song so much. I saw them live last October and I was in tears during it. It made me feel not alone though to look around at other men in the concert were also in tears. I’m not religious and music like this is why. I feel that spiritual feeling others get from religion from music. I love your channel and thank you for giving me and others a safe space to let out the things I have a hard time sharing with loved ones

    I am in recovery. And I am also dual diagnosed. I had an epiphany one day years ago while listening to this song. And it changed my life. When you know what you're, fighting, you can prepare a proper defense. It has shaped me and made me the person I am today. Do I still get scared? Oh, yeah. The difference is how I react to it. Turned my life around at a pivotal moment. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful by song.
    There is another version of this song, a lyric video , I think. It has the full lyrical content. And more intimate. Absolutely wonderful reaction, Amanda

    Thanks for what you said at the end. It really put into words what I’m feeling. I’m almost 1 and 1/2 months clean from self harm and I have really been struggling at times to not fall back to it. I kept making an excuse for doing it saying it can release my fear quickly and without having to actually face the demons. But one day I just looked down and was disgusted with what I’d done and knew I had to change something. Every time I feel the urge I tell myself I am better than this I can face the fear. I just hope I can keep it up

    The first time I heard this song by Blue October (a few months ago actually) I was obsessed with it, I literally listened to it on replay for hours. It spoke to me so strongly, what with my past struggles and what I've been going through, and for a while I'd listen to it everyday and be calm. Remembering where I was and where I used to be, how much better I am today. But recently.... I've been going back down the black hole of depression, explosiveness, and taking it out on the people I love. But today, just watching your reaction to this song, it's brought me back to my senses, telling me, yes, I still go through struggles, I still go through depressive states of mind, but that doesn't define who I am, I define myself, not my disabilities. I subscribed to you, and I'm going to watch your videos from here on out. And I'm going to remember to think about myself better, and be better as a person. Thank you.

    This was the first song he wrote after getting out of rehab. He was worried about writing being sober and was surprised and happy that this was in him.

    Theres a live version of this song that begins by justin telling this beautiful story of his final stay in rehab and how that led to him finding peace in religion. Basically, his rehab had a step in their process where their patients were asked to find something outside of themselves to put faith in because faith in yourself only gets you so far before you relapse. He struggled hard with this step and still hadn't completed it when he went to the halfway house. One morning he decided he was gonna finally ask whatever higher power is out there to show itself. So its 630 am and he's out on the porch with a cigarette and a coffee talking to God and demanding proof and this small wasp starts bugging him. It keeps bouncing off his face and he tries to sway it away to get rid of the distraction as he's asking for a sign. He then notices the wasp flying at this bug spray can on the porch table and it flummoxes him and he says "what tbe fuck are you doing? You've seen all your little fucking homies die trying to get into that thing and you keep trying to- ohhhh am i that easy?" Thats when he found faith and he's been sober ever since.

      Let me clarify. My wife (coincidentally named Amanda) grew up with OCD and Severe Depressive Disorder. In 2020, she lost her business of 20 years (hairdressing) and her father at the same time - both from Covid. She became agoraphobic and developed severe PTSD. Wanting to die, scared of absolutely everything. Now, 2 1/2 years later, she’s really, really healing. She’s grown. It took a lot and it was NOT easy on anyone, but she’s really a beautiful person. She’s worth it. And so are you.
