Blue October - The Weatherman Recorded Live - Paste Studio NYC - New York, NY More Blue October: www.pastemagaz... Audio: Bob Mallory Video: Brad Wagner
Hes actually VERY good at delivery. But his lyrics are very weak and elementary. As a matter of fact, his delivery is so good, that's the only thing that saves his poor lyrical content...... "make a porno feel like home".... " like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed". Pretty much every single lyric in "light me up"....... it's like Nikki Sixx write sick ass music. But his lyrics blow...... that's why Elton and Bernie separates music and lyrics. Why Paul, John and Goerge always separated music and lyrocs........... Justin. Has a ridiculously good delivery. But his lyrics leave a TON to be desired
@@quintocreations5091 I think some of your criticism is fair, but I never said his lyrics were fantastic. I said they are brutal, and many of his passionate fans will tell you they find his lyrics resonate strongly with them, juvenile or not.
@@JD_79 that is a very fair statement as well. And I can agree for y the most part.... like sometimes I just get so disappointed when I'm listening to say, hate me. And just how good those lyrics could have been if he could have just been a little more solid. I mean really, only a handful of words would really have needed to be changed to make that an epic lyrical ballad instead of a pretty good song. I feel the same way about most of the stuff. Light you up,, oh my mind oh, I hope you're happy, all of them are almost really good. Almost. It's like he writes 70-80% of a bad ass slow or even hard ballad. And the other 20-30% is pieced together so poorly. With such Elementary terms as something being so disturbing it's like a portal in your head. Are crawling around like cockroaches leaving babies....... I mean that's just so terrible. Those are two of the worst sentences I think I've ever seen in a rock and roll band that's sold this many albums. And yet, some of the other lines and some of these songs are so good it's scary. So I guess that's why I just get so upset. I feel like the handful of the songs, two or three at least could have gone down as excellent songs in history. Great lyrical substance, good rhythms oh, really good bass lines oh, good snare. But in every song, like I said, there's just a couple lines that are so bad it throws me all off board. And I go from feeling like a possible historic hit, historic ballot, maybe even one of those songs that gets popular much later in life. But instead, they're just going to go down as decent emo / alternative rock and roll with nothing really separating them from bands like fuel and The Verve Pipe, and stuff like that. And like I said, I feel like it was so close. These guys were so close to being epic and historic. That I guess I take offense, LOL
There are so many tiny details about this video and song that I cannot begin to point out it’s perfection because I am just trying not to cry. This song stings because I can feel it in the core of my soul!
Another Justin masterpeice, filled with such raw emotion and amazing lyrics. The most amazing live show anyone will ever see as well. Blue October is the best!
@@quintocreations5091 Elementary? Have never heard anyone say anything even close to that. He writes from his soul. Takes many a soul on a ride thru despair and hope. What a debbie downer.
This guy is just amazing ! Like crazy ! His voice is like nothing else in the industry. I have been listening to blue October for years but never heard him stripped down. Love this version. I ruined my relationship and I can tell you this song remained me of what I did
Song has helped me be more honest with myself. I'm usually accused of having my head in the clouds, no pun intended, but I can see clearly now through the lyrics and cracking voice of this pure, raw, talent.
OMG!...that just TOTALLY have me goosebumps, lol. What a sweet and noble Man you are. VERY COOL! It really is a nice song. A little different kind of style, but I 'm defindefinitley liking it!
Such an Incredible emotional song. Justin and Blue October is one of my favorite bands. I can totally relate to this song. I have been in a relationship for 30 years and the longer you are with someone its almost as though you forget how to keep the sparks going. The lyrics really touch my heart. Justin is an Awesome storyteller and has an Amazing voice. Wow and its live, what perfection. Love this.
I have a strong connection with this exact song bc it's the song my uncle loved to play when we would visit my other uncle and just drink and jam out. My uncle wasnt perfect but he made sure I was ok and always put family before him. We had a strong bond with his music. I've had the privilege to see Blue October multiple times with him and I can remember listening to foiled,home and many other albums. Now I cant listen to any blue song without bursting into tears. I lost him this past December to covid and it sucked I couldn't say goodbye but i know he's ok now. I love you Uncle Trav❤
Justin........ you never ceases to amaze me with your beautiful talent. Your unlike anything out there. I’m gonna love you until I’m old and gray- and then some. You light me up- thank you! Thank you!
Ahhhhhh such a beautiful song! Anyone who has had rough times in a long relationship, which is anyone whose been in a long relationship, can definitely feel this song. Thank you Justin for making us feel like we're not alone in what we feel. With all our imperfections, we are NOT alone! You're an amazing artist and wonderful person!
We don't touch, anymore. Remember the way that we did before? You could say we were just kids before we had our own, started building a home, but the fact is; We don't touch, anymore. We forgot how to communicate. Sometimes I watch you fall, and I admit that I just walk away. So what is that bull-shit? Why do I do that? Why can't this dark cloud go away? We don't talk, anymore. And the weatherman said 'The storm will clear' that this is our year. Maybe just maybe this time, he'll be right. Before the pictures are gone, You're right, I'm wrong, Before you leave us behind, This is wrong, cause were right, Were right on the edge of a blue- sky. Were on the edge of a, blue sky. Like a dark red rose, left in the parking lot. I'm sitting here choking on words I should have, never thought. Look I know that I just tore you down, and my words will come back around, just like that, just like that honeymoon I promised you but you never got. And the weatherman said 'That the storm will clear,' yeah this is our year. Maybe just maybe this time he'll be right, Before the pictures are gone You're right, I'm wrong Before you leave us behind, This is wrong, cause were right. Right on the edge of a blue- sky Were on the edge of a, blue, blue sky- And the weatherman said 'the storms gonna clear,' yeah this is our year. And I'm ready to believe that he's right! Oh please be right! Before the pictures are gone, You're right, I'm wrong. Before you leave us behind, This is wrong, cause were right. Were right on the edge of a blue- sky, Were on the edge of a blue- sky I'll do anything, anything for a, blue sky.
Beautiful, very deep and emotional, you tell it like no other, please never do anything harmful to yourself, I can hear your heart felt pain and so many can relate, new favorite song! Gave me goosebumps!
Some of the most beautiful souls come from a place of darkness and internalized pain .. justin has found the path towards happiness and appreciation of life through his gift of creativity channelled masterfully with music .. he's able to put into words what so many find personally identifiable, myself included and it's made me more self aware and brought contentment and a feeling of things make all that much more sense, finally .. Thank you kindly for lighting the pathway, affectionately, barbara
Justin... beautiful ,piece... kinda ironic how you've been there for me through all of my storms..❤ keep doing what your doing. Dont ever stop feeling.
You guys/this band were literally the only thing on my bucket list. Last April changed that. My kid bought 3 tickets for Boston @ House of Blues. For her mama, me. She knows I have issues. She knew what this concert meant to me. Postponed. We were making plans. There’s 3 of us, girls.... mama needed this. So did they. Your videos are all we/I have. I’ll keep watching and listening....
I probably will never get to hear Justin &BLUE OCTOBER in person, but after I say my prayers at night through my illnesses I listen to Justin &BLUE OCTOBER I RELATE TO IT ALL.🙏🏻😇😥
My high school sweetheart passed in December after 25 yrs. It has been devastating beyond anything I could imagine. My life has been destroyed. This is the first time I've been able to listen to Justin since due to pain but it was so worth it. I love you Teri
GladMadacus same. Been together since we were 15. We’re 40 now. Saying it’s been bumpy is an understatement, but now that I feel ready to try again, he doesn’t feel the same so I’m too late. 💔
@@ambermorris5171 I am so so sorry you're going through this.... I have been there...and it literally feels like your actual heart is being squeezed....like the life is being squeezed out of you. My heart breaks for you. I can also tell you that it will be okay. It will be. I promise. It is so hard....but....you will be okay. Lifting you up.
