beautifully said , and agree although through the years you'll learn to recognize it in time...and thus appreciate those unreal moment while experiencing them.....but I totally understand what you're saying , and thank Gód for so many great memories already. Love
I've started working really hard to remember moments as they happen. I joke that I have been hit in the head a lot, which is true, and I am finding it harder and harder to remember things so I recently decided I am going to make my RU-vid with things I have experienced so I can look back and relive those moments.
Needed this today, trying sobriety for a second time, 93 days in and I can honestly say I'm happy! I hope everyone else who is listening to this right are happy whatever happiness is to you!🙂
This was my song and my daughters song that we would dance to together and the last concert we attended together! She passed away the day after her birthday 2 months ago. Emma, may you soar with the angels happy! I miss you sweetheart! 🙏📿💮🕯🦋🔮🖤
Emma... What an absolutely gorgeous name!! I will always remember this comment, Andie, and every time I hear this song or go to a Blue October show I will remember her. She will not be forgotten!! You are in my prayers... Stay strong.
This Band should be played on mainstream radio stations everywhere. Ive followed them since the beginning. They are one of the most unique bands ever. Most people cant feel this deeply I guess. This shit resonates in my soul. Always been one of my favorite bands.
It's pretty clear from the official video that she didn't really want to leave him. She looked back two times as she was led away. Circumstances tore them apart. The company that invented her took her back. Sometimes circumstances tear people apart. Immigration laws, job offers across the country, the covid lockdown, illness, graduation, death. All sorts of things you can't expect can interrupt love. You can't be angry at the loved one for things neither of you can control.
She was broken when he found her. He put a lot of time, effort and most importantly love into building her up and helping her be who she was again. And now at the end of it all she has moved on without him. But he still hopes she is happy, because that's what it means to love.
Nope. He had an idea of the ideal. She was a robot. Hence unable to show him what his worth was. He gave her up because he was not only found out by family but also knew the joy of letting go because he deserved more.. a human woman.
The very beginning is God talking to you ….. telling you he hopes you’re happy and that you get what you wish for. The rest is you ….. telling it to that person you wish was still in your life. But in a FREEING way. Where you’re at peace. Where you’re letting go. Even tho it wants to hurt. Ánimo guys ….. GOD LOVES US.
2024, Just turned 30, Happily amarried with a 2 year old daughter. This song resonates always. Remember loving this music video and sobbing to this song when it first came out, whatever any of you reading are feeling or going through, That I hope Youre Happy, I hope youre good, I hope you get what you wish for, and youre well understood❤
You got the "good" version of this song, and for that I'm happy. There is a "dark" version if you pay attention to the lyrics and see them from a place of loss and betrayal. That was my version, and I don't wish it on anyone. Hug your daughter, and cherish every moment you spend together, they pass so damn fast. Take every moment as a gift, and NEVER take any of it for granted, it can be gone in a blink.
@@VARIALskating Coming out from under that cloud is a lifechanging moment, glad you made it to the other side. Treasure every moment under the sun, and share it with everyone around you.
@eloquentsarcasm quit my 6 yeat job cleaning a school district dishonorably because they told me my sick days were "for me" and tried having me in meetings taunting me over my sick days, i had 175 stacked up, and 45 vacation days. It's not that I didn't have the days, they were mad I utilized the days input website the way they trained us, the options they told us to select based on their definitions. I used their own physical books against them with my union, not worth my life essence being there for years, when they preach "we are family, a community" yet I couldn't take off for my daughter having fevers while my wife started a new career and immediately promoted, fresh off maternity leave. She had no days yet. Not taking my child for granted.
My daughter's birthday gift to me was to take me to see Blue October here in Memphis last Thursday. They played at the New Daisy Theatre which is a pretty intimate environment so I could have almost reached out and touched Justin. The performance was great and you had people from their 20's to their 60's dancing, waiving their arms in the air, and singing along. It was more than a musical performance as Justin talked about his emotional struggles and the much better place he is at in his life these days. This sparked a bond between performer and audience unlike anything I have experience in 45 years of attending concerts and literally had some people in tears. Blue October is bringing their "A" game to these shows and when they got called back for their encore they went into an interesting set of musical bookmarks, "Hate Me" - the crowd sing along, followed by "I Hope Your Happy" that brought the house down. See them live if you get the chance!
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 Yeah, the days of seeing great bands on the cheap are long gone. But, the music business has changed a lot too and touring and product sales are a much bigger part of the musician's income equation than they used to be. So, in some ways we're victims of that cheap or "free" music that we can get digitally these days.
My sister, who in her addiction lost her 3 kids to the state, now sober and in recovery says this song makes her think of them. That's all I can think of now when I really listen to the lyrics, brings tears to my eyes.
I’m dying. This is the song I’ve asked to be played for my kids and husband. They don’t know yet. All I want for them to know is that I’m always there. That I love them. This song captures all I want for them when I’m gone.
You should tell them so u can listen to it together ❤️ i would appreciate that more than being "left" a song. Just me personally but get opinions of others
As a teenager, I had lost the battle to addiction and mental illness. I also lost custody of my son due to both illnesses. I was always a huge fan of Blue October. I can relate to almost every song. This is one of those songs. I’m now 35 drug free and mentally stable. I still see him but I didn’t get to raise him. I dedicated this song to him and told him that no matter what happens in life, I just hope you’re happy!
I just love how the lyrics could literally fit any type of relationship and any situation. You could interpret it as a dead relative wishing their loved ones happiness in their absence. You could interpret this as a parent child relationship as the parent watches their kids graduate/ get married/ move out. You could consider it as two siblings parting ways from a fallout. You could also look at it as a breakup between two lovers. I love this song so much.
When I hear this song and see the video it breaks me every time. It came out not long after my ex fiance passed. We had remained friends thru the years with work and a lot of forgiveness. However, we were in the middle of a fight when he died. He and Justin could have been twins. They look so much alike. I also know my ex always wanted me to be happy so this song always hits me especially hard but it's a great song by a great band.
It's genius to me that they can make such an upbeat song still have a sad feel to it. A real testament to not only Justin's lyrics but the overall musicality. I'm mostly a metalhead but these guys could have me weeping in a second. Their music has been there with me through a lot.
Yeah I agree with this. Still Broken is the most upbeat breakup song I have ever heard, and yet I felt the pain so deeply. It got me through something.
100% me too. Metalhead to the core but this music, this band speaks to my soul. My son and I danced to Hate Me at his wedding reception. People probably thought it was weird but that song is special to us💜
Same here. Metalhead at my core but I love all types of music but this band stands far & above all others. I got to see Justin do a short acoustic set and I was inches from him while he sang & talked about his songs. He must have thought I was mental cause I just cried pretty much the entire time. I couldn't help or stop the tears. With the softest touch, Justin can hit you the hardest. Love this band so much.
Just in case the band reads these comments, your new music LITERALLY saved my life. I was gonna end it all until I heard Fear for the first time. In fact, Into The Ocean was gonna be the last thing I ever heard. But, man. If you can get better Mr. Furstenfeld, so can I. Its been a year and a half, and Ive made leaps and bounds of progress. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The hardest thing you can ever do is watch the one you love love someone else. That pain is excruciating. If you can still find it in your heart to wish them all the best in life when your dying inside makes you one of the strongest people on the face of this earth.
Going through this now she's a herion addict I'm hurting but glad I been sober since June 15th...I kicked her out last weds ripped my heart out her lies and cheating...
When he sings "I remember everything" right before the last Chorus, it ALWAYS makes me emotional. I've probably listen to this song over 500 times by now! LOVE IT!
Why don't I hear this song playing in every store and radio station?? Does anyone ever hear it?? It's amazing and Blue October has always been amazing, right there next to Prince and all the music legends. This band deserves to be front and center with the greats. Come on now, wtf 🎸🙇😫
Ringo Star The Guinea Pig I just heard it for the first time on 104.3 F. M. The Shark. I didn't know who sang it so when I looked it up today I was very happy when I saw it was them! It's my new favorite song.
I just saw then in concert a week ago and they just released the song like the day before. They made their own label and are releasing an album in August.
Our local radio station in Jersey that plays alternative still has this track on heavy rotation. Is played every couple of hours, and I gladly crank up the volume!
I can't even describe how many times Blue October made me feel again. It's 2:30am and I've listened to this song at least a dozen times. Addiction ruined my marriage and she found love with another man behind my back. Can't even blame her, though. So, I just play this song over and over to remember when the world was ours to take. I truly hope she's happy right now.
My wife of 16 years and I split almost 2 years ago. I still love her. I still miss her. We weren't meant for each other. She is an amazing woman, and deserves an amazing life. And all I can do is wish her nothing but happiness. This song reminds me of her. Not that I need a song to do that. But it literally pinpoints exactly how I feel. An amazing job Justin and the boys from Blue October. Thank you.
Me n my ex are splitting up since high school over 16 years, he's having a hard time letting go and I feel like her sometimes and smashing that God damn piñata to pieces. Seems sometimes that's the only way some people listen when you have to scream at them and throw a fit and sometimes they still choose not to hear you. That's no way to live. I do just want to be happy being myself. Wish he would just let go now and stop being selfish. The future looks bright now. We are still and always will be there for each other. No hard feelings. He's a great dad. Just let me live.
I'm sorry about your break up. I got cheated on by the "love of my life", she left with me nothing even took the furniture... BUT : 4 years later, I'm in a truly happy relationship of 3 years living together with another woman, who makes me laugh every day and we're total goofballs all the time taking pictures and everything is just amazing, fights are minimal because we're grown adults who come from difficult marriages each, and we know how to respect and love each other :) So YES! Never give up :)
We all will connect to this masterpiece in some way. That one friend, Lover, one you lost but will never be forgotten. The hardest part is knowing that you are actually blessed to go through the pain.
I'll always love him, and miss him. Grieving the loss of a person who is still alive is incredibly hard and is a very real thing. Although I wish it wasn't. Such a fabulous song❤
Yeah but it sucks watcing on the sidelines the person you love but you are "just a friend" it never works that way one person is always going to fall in love. I still wish she will be 😊
As someone who is going to leave a 26 year relationship...I can tell you that I feel this way. I hope nothing but the best. There is no happiness in anger.
I vibed with the earlier Justin in my dark days, and am once again vibing with Justin through my transformation into the light. I've been watching videos nonstop these past few days, while shedding baggage as each emotion resurfaced to a specific song; thinking I had already healed it, but they were actually buried in the deepest corners of my soul. I am quite literally watching the process take place, and man is it a beautiful thing to watch unfold. In one video he asked his audience "if you would've asked me ten years if I thought happiness existed, I would've laughed"...or something along those lines, but man I felt that to my core. Never would I have thought I would emerge from the darkness like a phoenix rising from the ashes of my own destruction. The world is shifting and I am grateful that the both of us, and many others, are shifting with it. I know that many feel it's getting worse, but it's actually getting better as things are being exposed that has been hidden in plain sight for so long. Anywho, I've been marveling over this the past 24 hours and this video popped up on my feed when I jumped on here, so I just had to take a minute and say my peace. It is truly an amazing time to be walking this earth, as hard as it may temporarily feel. 💫🌈✨
@@zuul9669 it's hard work, but I am learning how my dark side has been so instrumental to my evolution; you can't have the light without the dark. It's also pretty evident to me that I'm a generational cycle breaker, and I will continue to make my ancestors proud! Thank you for the encouragement, my friend.
As happy as this song sounds it fucks me up every time. I can smile with this song but once I’m singing it and remembering my last relationship At the same time it breaks me
I'm getting "I'll remember you with every breath I take, you'll always have a piece of me" tattooed for my baby who I lost. I literally cry every time i hear it. It reminds me if him every time
This is so true. Any man in America is such a powerful album. I too went to a horrific divorce and I'm now an alienated parent. More painful that I can describe.
Michael Radford I used to karaoke Hate Me (I know, a downer) but hearing Happy now and where I have gotten emotionally feels amazing... maybe sing this someday...
"Hate Me" will always be an anthem for my darker days. I still listen to it and love it so much. It's just such a beautiful piece of music that I will always treasure it.
I'm always telling my husband that I hope he"s happy. Just last night he came home from work and heard me blasting this song and he"s all like,"Oh, thats where you got that from." LOL!!! LOVE your music guys!!!
@Rygirl Urso husbands are dumb assss getting married in this sack of shit generation marriage is just a Co trace and he will be fucked over just like most dumb ass male who thinks with his penis.
K H. It's in circulation on iheartradio Denver stations. I heard it on 93.3 first. Well finished product mastered and released lol. It does deserve notoriety tho.
This song was my friends favorite song and now shes gone and I miss her so much its not the same without her here I cannot be the same when shes no here anymore R.I.P Jada boo
My grandson died by suicide 3 yrs ago. Hate me today, hurt. I'm so glad you have found hope in life. Your kids are gorgeous. I wish I could have seen my grandsons...... hang on. Life is good.
This has been my absolute favorite song hands down from the moment I heard it. The words, the beat, the emotions...it's like a mirror into my hidden feelings that I couldn't put into words. No matter what mood I'm in, this song always puts a smile on my face, even with tears running down my face. This is what it feels like to love someone truly, that for whatever reason, you can't be with. All of their songs are amazingly touching and resonate but this one is just different ❤
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery." - Dante Alighieri - The divine comedy. This song is truly beautiful of you know what this band had to go through to get here. Especially the lead singer/frontman.
Blue October does not get near the follows that they deserve. Some of today's artist are total crapturds that get 40 million plus. Blue October has actual meaning and substance. Love this band!
I just saw them in concert. I'm 56 and it was the best concert I have ever been to. They are great. They do deserve more followers. They don't get enough play time on the radio. But the concert was like a party. They mingled with the crowd before and after the show. (They had a meet and greet) but never have I ever felt so appreciated by a band!
This is so true married 34 years.we were young at 18 and 20 got married to young .This man was the only man I knew until I turned 56 he decided to leave me and replace me real fast .It's the one of the most terrible things to go threw he knew my health wasn't all that well but he didn't care at all.its a grieving of someone who is still alive .As long as I have Jesus Christ 🙏 that's the only man I need he helps me so much .
There will be days when you're falling down There will be days when you're inside out There will be days when you fall apart Someone else will break you heart They're never gonna hold you back I'm always gonna have your back So try to remember that I hope you're happy I hope you're good I hope you get what you wish for And you're well understood And now I'm standing here and looking at you I wonder what the hell you're gonna do With those Dr. Pepper eyes and you bubble gum hair Yeah, I'm standing right here I remember how I held you so right I remember that Saturday night, do you? There will be days when you're falling down There will be days when you're inside out There will be days when you fall apart Someone else will break you heart They're never gonna hold you back I'm always gonna have your back So try to remember that I hope you're happy I hope you're good I hope you get what you wish for And you're well understood And whatever your progress I know you'll be fine Because I hope you're happy Even if you're not mine I remember when the world was ours to take I remember you next to me I remember you with every breath I take You'll always have a piece of me I remember, yeah Try to remember that I remember every word that we spoke You right here next to me I remember how we tried and we tried I remember everything Try to remember that That I hope you're happy That I hope you're happy I hope you're happy I hope you're good I hope you get what you wish for And you're well understood And whatever your progress I know you'll be fine Because I hope you're happy Even if you're not mine Try to remember that I hope you're happy
Saw them live a week ago in Phoenix. I love how much fun he had dancing around on stage to this. Kind of like how I clean the kitchen when no one is home! Love Blue October and their substance, souls, and emotions through their music.
Aww lucky. I missed the show because i was sick :c but glad to know that theyre still out there making more awesome music like they used to. Happy or sad, always a fan
Something about being “well understood” is a highly underrated wish of well-being. That’s love. To hope someone is understood in their life by others. I deeply love Blue October. As a Highly Sensitive Person and Old Soul, I don’t always have others who understand, but you do, Blue October. 💙🍂
I discovered Blue October when I was 13 (I am 23 soon to turn 24) it has been the most beautiful journey ever following this band through the real shit at the bottom of that dark pit to now see Justin like this. It's amazing watching someone transition in such a way- like a flower that hasn't been given enough water struggling to bloom but pushes through and blossoms into something stunning. They continue to help me during my weak times and feel me with warmth during my strongest.
After 3rd attempt w the love of my life, mother of my children, and the cause of my 20 year plus problem w addiction... I can finally dedicate this song to her and actually mean it. Off the evil pain pills and turned my life a total 180 in past 3 months. Wow. Never ever believed I could wish her well and move on and find true happiness. This song, and many others from this awesome band were truly instrumental in my ability to finally heal myself and deep depression I’ve suffered most all of my adult life🙏 Absolutely Love Blue October❤️
There's no greater gift to give someone is wishing them well, when they've hurt you countless times again and again. Doesn't mean you should let them back into your life, but forgiving and hoping for the best is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and hope you've been well
You guys blew me away!!! The song amazing!!! The video, Phenomenal!!!! Worth the little extra wait!!! Been a fan since the early 2000's.....your words are always so powerful....thank you
This song got me through maybe the darkest, most hopeless feeling months of my life. I don't come back to listen to it often just because it brings back the memories of feeling that way but each time I do come back to listen it gets easier. I do love this song so much. It's just ONE of their songs that got me through one of my many 'more than difficult' times in my life. Justin has a gift that I'm so thankful he chooses to share with us. I know he has saved more lives than anyone will ever know while also saving his own. I think that's why those who truly appreciate his/their music are lifers here- forever fans. More than fans. The Blue Family 💙🫂💙🫂💙
I miss you William C J. I cant handle the guilt and burden of life without you. You are my love. I am sorry you never undersood that I gave everything I had to give and I was so very proud of you. Always so proud. I understand the stages of grief but I still cannot navigate through them because Acceptance won't come. I hope you are happy my runaway bunny. Thats all I have ever wanted for you.
I love that Justin has kept the band named Blue October through its/his transitions as a writer, musician, and person. So many will drop their name to change their image, and he has stayed true to himself and remembered where he came from. Absolutely amazed! I really hope my husband agrees to go see them play in Chicago!!
james betteridge Always an incredible show. They have a new (never played live before with them) guitarist and from the clips of videos he sounds amazing.
He gets it! This is how real men really feel! I'm sure there was a moment we all felt like we were weird and the only one; I'm glad that's not true and so thankful Justin from Blue October had the balls to just let it all hang out there! We should all take a page from his writings step up as he did speak the truth of our hearts with absolutely no fear and no shame! If I'm supposed to feel ashamed as a man In this world for having LOVE with NO CONDITIONS and an UNRELENTING HEART; Then all of you that don't get it or understand can have this world filled with others just like you; I'll be over here walking the earth alone till I find that real one if she even still exists 👀 Thanks you Justin and Blue October for keeping the light bright illuminating the the right path and casting out shadows along the way! Wishing all that's good to find its way to you and all who love and are loved by you.. thank you Brother! 😎
This song hits my soul. Remembering someone i truly thought was the one...now i just want them to to feel happier than anything i can achieve at the moment. Songs like these are timeless. Music like this is irreplaceable. Good luck to all and may you all be blessed.
My Fiancée and I just went to Sugerland to see Justin and the his awesome band members! They played This song! I was in the isle and Screaming to Him I'M HAPPY!!!!!! I'M HAPPY! Justin seen me and Smiled! Thank you for your time and for your help with Blue October's beautiful and life changing words and melodies!
Sugarland Tx??? Cause I'm right down the road in Katy... But there an amazing band none tha less... I did 3 tours after 9/11 n I met what I thought was my forever back on March 3,2020 n got engaged on April 9,2020 n we were amazing until January of 2022 n it all went down hill from there... First person I ever asked for their hand in marriage n I'm 43 now... She introduced me to this band n dedicated Balance Beam to me n Said That This Was All US From The Very Get Go... Love Truly Hurts 💯 % n IT IS WHAT IT IS NOW CHINGOU!!! I hope all is good on ur end now friend... God Bless U...
This song is amazing its hard to care so much about someone and know that you can't be with them anymore this song touches my heart every time I listen to it
I love this song so much that I can't stop playing it. The whole concept of the video is perfect. It's amazing how much emotion comes through it straight into my soul. It's just absolutely wonderful!
I only heard this song recently, about six weeks ago if even that long, it is one of my favorites, play it at least a couple times a day, where Justin sings "I remember everything" gets me every time... as in other comments below it is an extremely versatile song and definitely has different meanings depending on your mood at the time...
