This song has helped me stay clean so many times. Blue october will forever be in my heart. Many of their songs has truly helped me. 11 years off street drugs. Grateful for eveything...
Nancy Roy Addiction is a terrible affliction and brings nothing but pain and ruin to yourself and those most dear. I lost everything of value in my life because of it. Possessions can be replaced in time but to mend the severed bonds with those we hold most dear is the most difficult part of the process. My struggle continues but I take heart in the success of others who were able to break free from the shackles that once bound them. Thank you for sharing and I wish you joy and success in all that you do. Stay strong!
My Husband & I just got married Tuesday June 18th and this was the song had our first dance to. Ironically we danced on a balcony while everyone watched from below. It was beautiful :) I wish Blue October would see this & know how beautiful their music is.
Oh the memories this song holds! The first date my hubby and I had we heard this song. Now here we are FIFTEEN years later. With 3 beautiful babies and more love for one another than I ever thought possible!
I find it interesting that everyone finds so much happiness in this song. While there is lots of emotion in it, a powerful song, I hear loss of a loved one, standing on the balcony deep in thought and the wind blows as if a kiss and he is off in memories and fantasizes about being with her again someday. Holding onto her memory so very tight.
He actually stated in a book this song was written about what he believes a perfect relationship would be like. I love your interpretation though. The very reason I love music is because it can mean something different to everyone.
He told us at a concert before he sang this that he wrote it for his youngest daughter. Though there aren't really any specifics so it can be interpreted many different ways.
I think it could also be about a break up. that last night you spend together, aware that this is the end. you love one another but it's never gonna work out. theres no other way, you can't believe it, this person is like no one you've ever known. you don't wanna let go...painfully beautiful. I find it funny too when people play this at weddings. I'm like you're missing the point, guys! 💙
It is a shame that their most "popular" songs are not even their BEST songs. I have a new found appreciation for this group and cannot wait to see them live this fall!!
This is my husband and my wedding song. He has tattooed on his side the verse "so we talked about mom's and dad's about family pasts just getting to know where we came from" ...and I have the next part "our hearts were on display for all to see, I can't believe this is happening to me"
that is awesome! my mom has his autograph on her arm and got it tattooed and ''picking up pieces'' and then my step dad and my mom a getting a tattoo of a verse from the song debris! also she has 'kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that i had made' across her feet (hard to discribe unless seen) and right now we are in car driving 10 hours to go meet justin and the band!! Congrats about the wedding! Have a great day!
The first time I heard this song was when I was coming down from a 2 week meth binge. I just remembered balling like a baby. I've been clean ever since.
Justin is one of the best song writers of our generation, and really any generation. So talented and yet not as well known as he should be. Always amazing stuff from him stuff that maybe not everyone understands
I was just introduced to this song a few months ago, b y a friend. I have been entranced by it since then. I usually listen to hard rock, heavy metal, speed metal, and or punk rock, but this song is amazing.
I heard someone play this tonight in a live stream for the first time and had to look up the original. The comments here are so wonderful. It made the song played tonight extra special! Thank you for sharing it and thank you for sharing the comments. :)
This was a song between my ex and I. And I mean someone who both hung the moon and extinguished the sun. I come back to this song every so often to remind myself of those memories, the good ones atleast, and also to remember the bad ones to see where I’ve come from mentally and as a person. It’s been years and it’s still my song to go to when I need a good healthy cry.
This song reminds me of a girl I dated Years ago the song perfectly describes how I felt for her although we didn’t make it as a couple we still keep in touch I couldn’t imagine my life without her in it it’s been over 25 years we have grown old together I guess there’s people you can’t and shouldn’t forget sometimes
My interpretation of this song... To me, this is certainly a story of someone getting to know a lady and realizing that he is falling deeply in love with her. His arms are open wide to her love and he knew it from the start. They don't want to fall asleep for fear they would miss this moment together. He wants to tell her that he is "So yours for the taking" and he's tearing up trying to figure out how to say it. Then she kisses him as if to say, "you don't have to say it. I know how you feel and I feel the same way". They are basically both flying away together in love. But it's just beginning, and he knows that there will be times when they are apart. He feels that eventually they will be together but until then, "I'll keep you in my dreams" I felt this way when I met my wife. And like many others, we danced to this song at our wedding.
Foiled was one of my favourite Albums as a kid. At one point I noticed it was gone. Years later I found it in my Uncle's truck, I wanted to be mad but I wasn't, I got to share this Album with someone else and he had clearly carried it with him for years. 10+ years later, my Uncle died today. This was the only music I could come back to. Rip Aaron, I'll love you and miss you forever buddy.
Yeah, they are one of the few bands that really bring it live. They look every audience member in the eye that they can. You can tell they really appreciate that we're there at all!
I love the beauty of art, it touches everyone in a different way. That's the beauty of it to me:) With Justin's songs you can definitely interpret them in so many ways. Love them all!
Justin explained the origins of this song. He was in Texas and was talking with a girl (his future wife) in Nebraska and they decided to meet up. He took a train from Texas to Kansas City and she took a bus from Nebraska to Kansas City and they meet at the Westin Crown Center in room 1852 and he walked in the room and smelled some marijuana and the Smiths and a few other songs were playing and they fell in love.
I named my son after Justin. His first me is Justin too. This band was big factor in me and his father connecting and tho relationship went sour. I am blessed with my son and this song will always remind me of him..
I heard this song for the first time in like a year and a half and at a certain point, I simply couldn't breathe. Choked me up so hard. It HURT! Then tears just poured out of my eyes
I am amazed at the complexity and yet the simpleness of this song. It is happy and melancholic, and real and dream like. This song is WAY under appreciated. and this from a guy who grew up listening to Slayer, and Merciful Fate, and Sepeltura, and the like.
Such a beautiful song. I had heard it but never really listened to it until now. Great lyrics. Could mean so many different things to different people... that to me is what music is about, love it.
I needed this reminder today....what it really feels like and why I have done without the frivolous and be open for the real!!! No rush love.... I am working on loving life enough that when we come together neither of us will fall on old social conditioning forms of love...but real, deep soul shifting and mind shattering passion and forever afters!
That's funny that you said that. My fiance and I are getting married in May and we absolutely live Blue October and this song. We seriously considered this being out first dance song but after a lot of going back and forth we decided that this song was just too intimate for us to feel comfortable with everyone watching us while we danced to it. We felt like that moment would be too public for such a personal song. I hope you'll be braver than us (:
honestly this is mine and my boyfriends song.. He's in rehab right now and I started crying during this song on a visit yesterday because I love him I love that he's getting clean (cause trust me the place he's at its so easy for him to just leave and not go back) but it hurts I can't bring him home. best friend of four years and I can't wait til he and I can start building our lives together..
There's a track after this song, that's after close to two minutes of static and noise, that everyone says is a "hidden track". If you haven't heard it... you should wait for it and listen to it. One of the deepest/heart-felt songs on this cd.
+Bailey Stuckey actually it has no name. if you listen to it on a digital CD player, the exact time it starts is a number tattooed on Justin. swore to never tell what the significance is. can only say its beautiful and haunting just like he is. amazing man!
I was told last week to listen to this song by my ex. he said it reminded him of us and how we would lie like that and talk of our future together...then 27 years of life happened.....and whats the saddest part is we still love each other but arent together.....maybe one day....i never stop having faith!!
I'll be covering this song in sign lagage soon per request! so beautiful I'm excited! if you're interested I have done other blue covers in sign language and they are on my channel!
This was a beautiful song. I remember hearing this song back then when this was newer. I was just depressed and hopeless but still content and in control in my messed up way. Yeah eeeeeesh thanks, work, life, family etc. I love this song though it's really good.
My fiance has been gone, locked up and than now sent to some home. I don't know when I'll be able to see him again :(. This has been my song to him since the beginning. And I was singing to it just remembering the past and in the middle of the first chorus, I couldn't hold it back any longer and I started balling. It's nice to let it out, and Blue October is amazing.
this song makes me cry every time I here it. I was listening to this song when I asked out my first love. It brings back bad memories but I cant help but love it.
This song has helped me stay clean so many times. Blue october will forever be in my heart. Many of their songs has truly helped me. 11 years off street drugs. Grateful for eveything...

My Husband & I just got married Tuesday June 18th and this was the song had our first dance to. Ironically we danced on a balcony while everyone watched from below. It was beautiful :) I wish Blue October would see this & know how beautiful their music is.

every song ..every word he sings ..so much truth ..hits hard right here at my house...I love blue October...
I'm not gonna admit that I cried today but I cried today
@pablo escobar haha same 😍
2020 got me
His definition of surrender gets me every time:
I raise my hands as if to show you I was yours, that i was so yours for the taking...
Yes!! Omg!! That’s what makes it so special to me.
hmm
Oh the memories this song holds! The first date my hubby and I had we heard this song. Now here we are FIFTEEN years later. With 3 beautiful babies and more love for one another than I ever thought possible!
That violin solo... Takes my heart somewhere far far away.
The violen player is my cousins. He is amazing. He writes all the music :P
lol
Proof?
You and me both miss, you and me both.
Ryan D. is amazingly gifted. I love hearing him anytime
this song is so deep. i love Blue October. his voice is like a voice of an angel that can feel pain and love.
I find it interesting that everyone finds so much happiness in this song. While there is lots of emotion in it, a powerful song, I hear loss of a loved one, standing on the balcony deep in thought and the wind blows as if a kiss and he is off in memories and fantasizes about being with her again someday. Holding onto her memory so very tight.
Now that is poetry.
He actually stated in a book this song was written about what he believes a perfect relationship would be like. I love your interpretation though. The very reason I love music is because it can mean something different to everyone.
its also about suicide
He told us at a concert before he sang this that he wrote it for his youngest daughter. Though there aren't really any specifics so it can be interpreted many different ways.

2020 and this song still moves me so much
It is a shame that their most "popular" songs are not even their BEST songs. I have a new found appreciation for this group and cannot wait to see them live this fall!!
There’s something divine about this song that can’t be explained in words. It’s so captivating...
This song is so beautiful and even after all these years it breaks my heart every time
addicted or obsessed?
This is my husband and my wedding song. He has tattooed on his side the verse "so we talked about mom's and dad's about family pasts just getting to know where we came from" ...and I have the next part "our hearts were on display for all to see, I can't believe this is happening to me"
that is awesome! my mom has his autograph on her arm and got it tattooed and ''picking up pieces'' and then my step dad and my mom a getting a tattoo of a verse from the song debris! also she has 'kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that i had made' across her feet (hard to discribe unless seen) and right now we are in car driving 10 hours to go meet justin and the band!! Congrats about the wedding! Have a great day!
Jessica Koppold thats so awesome..
Mine and my husbands too.
It's not our song anymore unfortunately. I fucked it up!!!! I'm sorry Jessica!!!!!
This was going to be the song my ex fiancé and I were going to have our first dance to
The first time I heard this song was when I was coming down from a 2 week meth binge. I just remembered balling like a baby. I've been clean ever since.
Chris Davila you got this!! congrats!
Chris Davila congrats man. I know how addiction is and it is the worst thing to go through. vary proud. keep it up and let God guide you.
Dude now that is AWESOME. The power of music can be incredible and life changing. Well done man!
Congrats dude stay clean that stuff ruins lives
Chris Davila congrats!
The Blue October I love; the violin makes it so beautiful. I miss it in their newer stuff
Justin is one of the best song writers of our generation, and really any generation. So talented and yet not as well known as he should be. Always amazing stuff from him stuff that maybe not everyone understands
Oh my god, I'm not exaggerating but this song has been stuck in my head for 8 years and thanks to the soundhound app I've found it!!!
I learned how to sing this song more than 8 years ago I'm currently 12. I love this song
I was just introduced to this song a few months ago, b y a friend.
I have been entranced by it since then. I usually listen to hard rock, heavy metal, speed metal, and or punk rock, but this song is amazing.
blue October just gives you the relaxing sensation to where u are just so emotional
My first time hearing this #2019!
I heard someone play this tonight in a live stream for the first time and had to look up the original. The comments here are so wonderful. It made the song played tonight extra special! Thank you for sharing it and thank you for sharing the comments. :)

I thought this song was about a new baby coming home?
This was a song between my ex and I. And I mean someone who both hung the moon and extinguished the sun.

Me too... 17 plus years... this song still reminds me......

I felt this way when I met my wife. And like many others, we danced to this song at our wedding.

I'm going to dance to this song when I get married...it's to beautiful and it always makes me cry
Beautiful song! How can someone not love Blue October!!
This song is beautiful and makes me happy. Even though I'm alone and sad inside
Yeah, they are one of the few bands that really bring it live. They look every audience member in the eye that they can. You can tell they really appreciate that we're there at all!
This song gives me chills every time i listen to it
I love this song. Walked down the aisle to it

Perfect song for everyone's paradise.. This is really deep

Beautiful song..love it.
Aww! This song randomly popped in my head. I still know every word!
That's the sweetest thing I've heard all my life :3
There's no way he could say no to a lovely guy like you who loves him.
Good luck! :)
this is going to be my wedding song :,)
+yellogalchun I may be biased, but It's a great wedding song ;-)

honestly this is mine and my boyfriends song.. He's in rehab right now and I started crying during this song on a visit yesterday because I love him I love that he's getting clean (cause trust me the place he's at its so easy for him to just leave and not go back) but it hurts I can't bring him home. best friend of four years and I can't wait til he and I can start building our lives together..
There's a track after this song, that's after close to two minutes of static and noise, that everyone says is a "hidden track". If you haven't heard it... you should wait for it and listen to it. One of the deepest/heart-felt songs on this cd.
It's "its just me"
+Bailey Stuckey actually it has no name. if you listen to it on a digital CD player, the exact time it starts is a number tattooed on Justin. swore to never tell what the significance is. can only say its beautiful and haunting just like he is. amazing man!
Woe I never knew that! That's beautiful.
THAT's the song I'm looking for! Too bad I didn't keep my CDs.
I was told last week to listen to this song by my ex. he said it reminded him of us and how we would lie like that and talk of our future together...then 27 years of life happened.....and whats the saddest part is we still love each other but arent together.....maybe one day....i never stop having faith!!

Very Pretty Song! I Love this!

Gorgeous!
My fiance has been gone, locked up and than now sent to some home. I don't know when I'll be able to see him again :(. This has been my song to him since the beginning. And I was singing to it just remembering the past and in the middle of the first chorus, I couldn't hold it back any longer and I started balling. It's nice to let it out, and Blue October is amazing.
2018 who still listens to it
I think this has to be my favorite song ever.
This song makes more bawl my eyes out. I love you, A.
this song makes me cry every time I here it. I was listening to this song when I asked out my first love. It brings back bad memories but I cant help but love it.
