My girl loved Blue October and we went to their concerts together. in December 2023 she left me forever. Now this song expresses completely how I feel at her loss. I wished she Stayed. Forever 46 Elizabeth
I'M a 64 year old man and i'm probably not your target audience but age doesnt stop you liking good music,feel again proves that. Stunning band ,Stunning music whatever age you are.
You are so right, good music is good music. I am 54 and have seen some great bands in concert, but Blue October transcends every concert I have seen...it is more of a spiritual event. They have to be experienced.
I saw them in concert 3 times. Once at a coffee shop in Houston... Justin played a few songs, & met the band at a signing for the Home Album. Great guys & amazing music 🎶
If I ever became a multi-millionaire, I would promote the shit out of these guys. The world is missing out on one of the greatest song writers/vocalist to ever live.
Unfortunately People nowadays don't give two shits about their own kids, let alone this mans love for his own. This kind of music has a small cult following because its a minority of modern people who know how to truly love. Now if you can make some fake ass auto tuned music that can allow people to be excited for 3 seconds, before moving on to the next new thing, you can make it famous. Its disgusting.
@@deejayimm unfortunately thats what is considered mainstream. While this guy literally pours out his heart. I think its good that he's not mainstream because when someone discoverers him they feel like they found a diamond amongst coal and people that truly care
I wouldn’t I would hire them all to myself They would be having concerts at my house all the time Maybe once in a while I would feel generous and have them throw a show for other people but otherwise it would be for just me, my family and friends
People just do not know who this band is... I didn't. Dig deep. Peel back, song by song on each record and you will discover one of the strongest catalogues I've ever heard in my 40+ years. I too got into them later than I would now have hoped. Life's circumstances led me to their music and they have changed my DNA somehow. I cannot listen to their music without my eyes swelling and the feeling of something deep in me tugging at me. I think we all have deep bruises from life's blows. Justin and Blue October are experts at creating music that finds those wounds and makes us feel again... Justin's lyrics are poetic yet simple enough for people to relate to. Talent! And live,,, I've seen them 19 times in 2016 alone. Didn't intend to... It has become like a church service to my soul. Seriously,,, who am I? NO one.... But do yourself a favor if you don't already know,,,, listen to the songs... See them live. Meet them, especially Justin. It will change you.
I feel the same as you, friend. Justin has been so inspiring to me. His music speaks to me. A feeling comes over me when I'm listening to them, that I cannot explain. I hope to see them live soon, and hopefully meet Justin and the guys.
Kevin Hawkey I have followed them through the transaction and transformed with them. They and God saved my life. I started out at the end , yet now have a new beginning.
I never get tired of the intensity of this performance. Finally got to see them live in Wilkes Barre 2 years ago. Incredible in concert. I'll be going every time they come around to Philly if my schedule allows.
Second row. Alone. Bentonville AMP September 18th 2022. I get lost, changed, find identity, clarity, accountability, and fire with you, you songs, lyrics, passion, shared battles. Thank you. Pain, Healing, purging, uninhibited unity in better, stronger, momentum, and change.
I see the sun go down on the river I feel the wind blow out, would've stayed to gray I feel the air around you, it's kinda closing in Do you feel it fall, or do you feel at all, I can I see the world keep moving as I stumble They seem to move much faster than me And while I sit in my four-cornered room Dividing hearts for a little girl Well I can't be anything but who I am And I wish you'd stay Well that was the beginning of the two of us The start of our show Stay, stay, stay... Now I would never have let go And I see the sun go up as your image And I feel the weight of your eyes as you stare I feel it all when you, when you first, when you kissed my lips Used to make me feel at home You made me feel at home You made me feel again Oh that's when you used to say "Will you stay, and not let go?" That was just the two of us to think about The stars of our show And you would say "I wish you'd stay and I'd never go" Oh I would never have let you go So take this heart of mine You've taken it a hundred-thousand times But this time, this time I'm gonna take it with me I see the door close down behind you I watch your face turn from glow to straight gray I see the moon go up and it shines this glory on my face Who would've known? Who would've known? Who would've known? How we would stay, and we should stay And never let go, oh hell no There's just three of us to think about now In our show, our show, our show I think we'd stay, we'd just stay, and then we'd know That we should have never let go Oh, oh, something to think about Oh, and her heart of hearts Just look into those big brown eyes And you'd just fall apart Oh really we should stay, at least we'd stay At least she'd know That we should never have let go No, no, let go, go, oh Oh, I wish you'd stayed I wish you'd stayed
I finally made it home and i listened to this over and over and over and the tears just poured and poured and poured.i have always loved you. You are the most awesome vocalist..you are my blue October. I will pray every day for your happiness and future production of beauty.
I knew nothing about Blue October when I first saw this video in 2018. But for some reason it SCREAMED Texas to me. Maybe because I remember mornings looking out over 90 from the elevator bank of the original Big Willie? That was the memory that first came to mind then. Can't thank these guys enough for what they've given us and what they've gone through to give it.
I’ve lived this song. It has got me through tough times. I feel every word. I will forever be grateful for this music getting me through the hardest points of my parenthood.
Is it me, or does this song physically hurt to listen to? I can feel every ounce of emotion from this experience and how he can turn it into something so beautiful is just beyond me. This. Is. Art. 💙
I have never experienced a more passionate performer than Justin Furstenfeld. He feels every single syllable he sings. He wears his heart on his sleeve and he makes the audience feel every bit of his pain, his joy, his sadness and his elation with life. He is truly an inspiration to me as a vocalist and as a recovering addict.
Why am I just now appreciating this music? The brain is an incredible mechanism. Incredible creative and talented. Can hear emotions coming through as musical waves of hope.
First time I heard this song was right after my father passed away, my mother and I held eachother in the audience as Justin brought us to tears at an acoustic show. It was a truly beautiful moment in my life. My mother has since passed away but I’ll always have that memory and Justin is such a big part of that. I know they won’t see this but I’d like to sincerely thank Blue October for getting me, and all of us through some really rough times in our lives and hopefully onto the better parts. Stay safe everyone❤️
When my mom died I listened to this song over and over again. I was in a lot of pain and felt completely alone and hopeless. Listening to this song really helped soothe that pain. I felt like there was someone that understood. Music like this can be so powerful and I appreciate artists like him a lot!
THANK YOU TO THE ARTIST THAT INSPIRE US IN OUR LIVES.....YOU HAVE SAVED MANY PEOPLE MY FELLOW TRAVELER THANK YOU JUSTIN AND THE BAND........CLEAN AND SOBER IS AWESOME PLACE TO BE!!!
Thank you to my uncle who introduced me to blue October. He showed me the song hate me. He battled addiction and addiction won in 2008. I will forever love Blue October. Miss you Tio Mikey ,I still think about you daily 💙
When your on the edge and no one can explain why you are the way you are or why you think what you think. Listen to this band a few times and things start to make sense..
Each time I rediscover this video, I think, "Nah, it can't be as good as I remember. I must have been in a mood or something to feel all those Feelings." Noooope. Every single time I hear this, the Feelings come back and I'm speechless. What a breathtaking piece of art.
I wish I could see these guys live just once in my life. Their music basically saved my life through these last 10 years of horrible depression and suicidal thoughts. When ever I couldn't take anymore, I would just listen to the music for hours and get through. Now I'm turning my life around, and repairing myself. And soon I won't be broken anymore.
You hang in there pal. You are not the only one who is broken, bleeding, fucked up and on the floor. I'm still here, and so are you. I will find you, and kick your arse (ass) if I have to ….you fucking stay strong !!!!
@@DarthSiGi I have. I went to the TIWILF tour, Justins open book tour where he not only gave me some advice during the Meet and Greet, but he sang King to my Fiancé and I for our engagement, and we both went to the STTA tour. They are having another concert this year in Nashville, on my birthday, which I will be attending.
To say he saved me is an understatement. I was so close to the edge. I heard his song “fear” and realized I wasn’t alone. I imagine I’ll take that leap at some point but for now the sun comes up each day!
He is a very emotional and highly empathetic musician he sings from deep within and his words will cross the boundaries of time and space. I remembered an ocean song from the 90’s I loved and stumbled on a treasure that I will hold in my soul forever.
I stumbled upon Blue October in a small town in North Carolina long before anyone knew who they were. I was completely amazed. I've been a huge fan since that night. He sings about my life better than I could ever explain in my own words. Since that night, I've seen them 11 times more, and with every show they get better and better, which I didn't know was possible. Love BO!!!
Ed Suffield they sure do but don't let the mainstream get a hold of them!! They will be forced to release the pop shit then!! Oh and the radio will play the shit out of the songs!!! 😂
This song kills me. What an incredible performance by a truly emotional rare and honest group of artists. I hope I can see them live one day. First time I heard I Hope You're Happy, I sobbed over the steering wheel of my car for a full 10 minutes.
I'm so glad their not mainstream ! Theres no words that can fully describe the beauty of his voice..right up there with Neil Diamond when it comes to heartfelt and passion, as well as the ability to touch so many hearts...
I never get tired of listening to them ,I put them on before my family and I go to sleep and fall out and wake up to them ! I sleep so much better when I have them on. I guess they give me that quite mind and I love them for that! Thank you blue october. Love you from the Lagorio family.
its very pure non filtered lyrical art in its finest, his pain is our pleasure and therapy sessions i lost mom dad brother sister and so many more, God be the Glory, then Blue October lol
This is why I love RU-vid. Sometimes you find "new" music you haven't heard before you wish you knew earlier. I only found out about Blue October two days ago. Now I see the band has been there for 22 years already.. I must admit: i LOVE it. Great performance, great emotion, great voice..
Harm Rhebergen exacly! i listening to them like 2 weeks ago and i'm in love with this band! justin has a fantastic voice and the live performance is soooo great!
Same here. I discovered them 5 days ago. Now this song is in my head all the time, and I need a dose of 15 minutes of their music every day. The performance of this song (the video above) is spectacular. I love discovering "new" music that touches me. This band gets to my bones.
Justin's truth and bravery in storytelling is incredible. Blue October's songs come to me when I need to hear them. Maybe it's that we were born 4 days apart, we're both bipolar, etc., I suffered crazy trauma as a child and was just lucky to stop it before I turned to heroin. He shines a light for every addict to hang on. Look at Hate Me, I Hope your Happy, I recently realized, it's filmed in the same house. If that could be every addict's journey this world would finally heal itself. The FDA needs to for the love of humanity, stop approving drugs that would kill what, now, a dinosaur? Addicts you are being fed, as we all are, chemicals IN EVERYTHING to weaken, control and numb us. Meditation changed my life. Thank you, keep the new stuff coming!
Agreed - he's a great vocalist and they are an awesome band. I saw them for the first time about a month ago in Pittsburgh. My brother is a HUGE fan. He's terminally ill with brain cancer and going to their concert is/was on his bucket list. A definite great experience and so MAJOR that I was able to share this with my brother. Their lyrics really touched home and so so so great. I'm planning on seeing them every year from here on out. Absolute great experience.
You should check out his performances of this song back when he first released it. This version doesn't have as much feeling because he's healed a lot since then. I broke down with him on that one.
@@ibuzz1337 Probably the most emotional performance I've seen of his. So intense. I'm glad he's doing better now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Q6dl4gbYHg.html
Couldn't have hit it more square on. My girlfriend and I got to see them live December 2018 at the Hard Rock (Las Vegas). As a divorcee with children n also having to have fought and still continue to fight just for any time I get with my kids... His songs say everything that I feel and personally don't know how to say or am too weak to say aloud. So much power behind it all.
Have seen Blue October 7 times live, including the concert where Blue first got to see Justin perform live in 2017. It was an incredibly inspired performance. The entire band is passionate, articulate, and beyond talented. If you haven't listened to their albums you are doing yourself a disservice.
You went through it. That's the only explanation for your expression in your music. The energy, the impact it has on me when I listen to the songs - thank you thank you thank you!
me encanta esta cancion, su letra intensidad de voz , la musica todooo es impresionante su sentimiento al cantarla todo lo que transmite..... me hace sentir bien.
Have no words to describe how much this band has had an influence in changing my thoughts on the world and my own well being. Only found out about them 3 months ago. Incredible music. Keeping going Justin and all. Much love and thanks.
