this is probably my favorite live performance ever, of any song.. this song just resonates with me and their delivery is just 1000% on point. Just amazing
The song is about every relationship he fucked up because of his addiction and depression. One of the biggest being his mom, but not the only one. Nearly lost his band and life because of these issues. Beautiful song great band!!
You describe it perfect brother. This shit makes me cry because I was on heroin and it was a fucked up time in my life. Some Crazy shit happened and this song means a lot to me.
Please listen to more of his music. His passion & raw emotion shines through in just about every one of them. You have to listen to Light You Up. You will not be disappointed. Well, not by any of them. He truly is an amazing artist & vocalist. Also, your take on “Hate Me” was on point. Thank you!
One of my favorite songs by them and it is another less hard track is called the feel again (stay) its extremely personal to justin and very emotional. Oh btw this song was more for all of the people he put through hell because of his addictions and how he treated them through it. In the original studio track a lot of the emphasis is on his mom throughout the whole song.
Is great to see the development of Justin through his music, one of the most important aspects of art is to transmit a message or an idea, Blue October does that and more. Definitely one of my favorites bands.
He’s talking about his mom! I love this song because I know how addiction feels like and my mom was by my side as much as ppl told her to let me go and learn on my own she always stuck by my side and now she has breast cancer and I hate that she spend all her time by mines now I feel like I’m not enough n my time is worthless I couldn’t compare to how much she did for me I’m sober now for 3 years and my mom is still hanging on but this Song hits every spot.
Been 3 months but oh well! The song is about his ex girlfriend, they just used his mom for the music video/the voicemail is a real voicemail from his mom
What an absolutely,y powerful performance by Justin. It gives me chills. His voice is one of a kind. Absolutly beautiful voice. I love all genres of music. I'm not bound. I fucking love this performance by him. It's chilling its so good.
As a metal guy, if I were to suggest one other BO song, you should try "Say It" (and personally, I like the official music video of that one as much as the live versions). Give it a shot especially if a violin solo in a badass rock song intrigues you. And one more, if you want a not so heavy song -- the song "Worry List" by them is the most emotionally breathtaking song of theirs (to me). Especially as a father, it's so incredibly heartbreaking and emotional. He wrote it about his daughter and his divorce. I'd suggest both of those!
I came away with a different meaning to the last line "How can you do this to me." I interpreted that as "How can you leave me after all this." To which he explains...hate me. I come away with, the song is an explanation to that final verse. Just a thought.
Well done!! 👏 not many have reacted to this masterpiece, the few who have didn’t get the meaning of the message. The video literally causes arguments between people who see this is being written about his mother but what man would say thoughts of being with his mom makes a porno feel like home. You nailed this one and appreciate the awareness on hate crimes.
Check out the actual music video, it give shows just as much as the live makes you feel what he is talking about and allows you to truly feel everything. Its a song that got me through some dark horrible years of my life.
This song always gets to me. In my mind it reminds me of my relationship with my best friend when I was in high school. I was going through serious mental health issues. I was actively suicidal and a fucking shit show of a person. I could call her at 3 AM having a fucking breakdown. It didn't matter what she was going through at the time she was always there for me. To this day I feel guilty because I feel I was being selfish in our relationship. She was going through shit at the same time I was, but she was always there for me, even though I wasn't always there for her like I should have been. I feel like she deserved better than me as a friend. There were times I wished she would hate me because I felt like she should hate me.
You absolutely MUST do The Worry List. It's about him and his daughter Blue. The regular music video, will in this case, have more impact than a live video. Absolutely beautiful.
Just found your channel and can’t help but watch all your Blue October reactions. Curious if you ever watched/listened to the actual recorded version of this song? Of all their songs Hate Me is probably one of the best recorded versions. Although I do strongly agree that in general their live tracks are felt much deeper including Hate Me. But even the recorded version of Hate Me and a few other recorded versions of some of their songs have just as much of an impact as the live performances
Great video, I really like the way you examine the lyrics! “Ocean Breathes Salty” by Modest Mouse would be a great one to react to. I don’t believe there are any reactions to it on UA-cam yet. Also “Elephant” and “If We Were Vampires” by Jason Isbell.
Me La Chingo I would second a “Ocean Breathes Salty” it’s rare to find any modest mouse reactions. Anyway, I’m subscribing and hoping he reacts to the song!
I watched a few of your vids today. Man to man, I was/am wrong. I deleted the comments. I guess somewhere as I've aged, I see me turning into my father. (Horror) . I'm an OG metal head. Apologies. Peace
Could you please check out a newer band called Spiritbox. They are really talented and their new song bleach bath is amazing, as well as their other songs like belcarra if you could check out any of those.
Much love from the West Midlands! Love this song, always holds a place in my heart, along with the song 'fear'.
“How can you do this to me” gets me every time
That is a pretty hard hitting line for sure.

The lead singer actually has a documentary coming out soon about his past, his life, and his recovery
Is it out?
@@ulfrtheviking yeah
Its just the way he sings that gets you right in the gut. Love it💗

I'll second this, and also throw "Worry List" into the hat.
Just stumbled upon your channel...so glad I did! I loved your reaction. Subscribed immediately!

Realize that this video is from a concert 10 years after this was a hit song.
I didn’t know you did Blue October, they are my favorite band!!! I thought I’d seen all the reactions from them!! Ty! Oh btw I subbed!
i've done them a few times. :)
@@MetalHeadReacts I’m checking them out😉

Hopefully you get the chance to see them live sometime, I call it my therapy session,,lol. So moving
You definitely need to listen to “calling you” now

This is actually one of the few songs that the music video is the proper one to watch.
Lots of people hate on this song. I effing love this song. This was/is one of my sad time songs.
Great video, I really like the way you examine the lyrics! “Ocean Breathes Salty” by Modest Mouse would be a great one to react to. I don’t believe there are any reactions to it on UA-cam yet.

Damn!Finally found this song back...
Maybe the best live band I've ever seen!
This is all about him and his mom.
He’s talking to his mom.
He suffers from bipolar and this is an apology
You should listen to Fear by them, find the acoustic version if you can.
That's a fantastic song
Check out his acoustic stuff its powerful stuff a song called for my brother gets me everytime
He is talking about his mom!!!! She died.
I watched a few of your vids today. Man to man, I was/am wrong. I deleted the comments. I guess somewhere as I've aged, I see me turning into my father. (Horror) . I'm an OG metal head. Apologies. Peace
It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. No hard feelings, we're all good.
this one makes me cry lol :) thanks! can u react to MGK Alpha Omega, I'm intersted in your opinion
Could you please check out a newer band called Spiritbox. They are really talented and their new song bleach bath is amazing, as well as their other songs like belcarra if you could check out any of those.
I see people always reacting to this song but no one plays the very end message.
spoiler alert, he's talking about his mother...
Justin feeds off of the crowd, so their live performances are always better.
Why not listen to there songs ugly side and black orchid. Amazing band and stunning lyrics.
He was talking about his relationship with his mom.....it is very sad because she passed away.....
His mom is very much alive. And this song his for an ex, not his mom. That's just the direction of the video.
It's about his mom. Watch his documentary
Noo Justin has said multiple times before it's about his relationship in which he messed up, he includes his mother but because he hurt her aswell
