I can not, can not, can not even believe I ran across this. I don't know why I just never thought I'd see this on here. Okay, so here goes another piece of my life. This song makes me think of my daddy every single time. He passed away six years ago and I doubt I'll ever let him go. He pulled me through everything. I put him through alot of worry but he was my best friend. "I'm sober now for three whole months. That's one accomplishment you helped me with. The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that I'll never touch again and in a sad way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night.. while I was busy waging wars on myself.. you were trying to stop the fight." I've been sober for almost nine years because he helped me. My daddy saved me.
YAY.. I love "Blue October!" The lyrics to their songs are so meaningful! One of their best songs 'in my opinion' is "Fear". The message is so inspiring & his voice is at it's best in that song! If you haven't heard it you should check it out! The official video is so powerful.

I went to Moscow for their concert back in November 7, 2013 from Istanbul, and once again I was in Kiev for the concerts that took place in 25th February. I am not rich but never thought about distance and money when I started this journey. The flight lasted 11 hours with two transfers, and the return was same route. I wish this wonderful concert had lasted three hours instead of 1.5 hours. Again it was amazing and worth everything.
I sat here watching this crying like a freaking baby in my car... it was always a powerful song in my twenties but now that I'm in my forties and I'm a mom of teenagers I just get it so much more. Your mom is always going to love you no matter what
Blue October has been one of my favorite bands for the last 15 years. “Fear” is definitely a great Blue October song. But also, since you’re such a family man, check out “Home” as well.
YASSSSSSSSSSS! Loved your facial reactions to the lyrics :) Definitely threw you for a loop. But I'm sooooo glad you gave the song a chance. This song helped save my life in those darker days. Love seeing you give out there genres a chance :)
Please react to Fear by Blue October. Very powerful song about how the lead singer , Justin, deals with depression

Depression and depressive illness are horrible. Justin actually has bipolar disorder and depression/depressive illness is just part of it. I think many people can relate to the depression but in my experience, mental illness is highly personal. Each person's experience is different but so many can really relate. (As sad as that is ... 😐 )

I played this song for my mom after I got clean and we cried. I told her this was how I felt during my addiction and I couldn't understand why she wouldn't give up on me at the time and she said "because you're my son, what kind of mother would I be if I stopped trying to keep my youngest child alive?" It broke me down.

I'm still here because of you; it was amazing to hear you review this song. This song has always felt very personal to me. It doesn't matter the addiction, you are 1,000% correct. Thank you for being who you are. You honestly don't know who you will reach.
One of my favorite Blue October songs is "Bleed Out" .... Oh and also "Fear"
I had forgotten about this song until I found your channel and saw your reaction channel to the Fuel song In My Hands.
I'm addicted to your channel! Your videos make my brain light up lol. Keep up the great work your viewers appreciate you!

My heart goes out to anyone out there watching your loved ones battle a heroin addiction. My husband battled it and this song breaks my heart. It is like being in the mind of someone using heroin. This was my life and it is a scary place to be in. And as far as addiction I was just as sick as he was trying to make sure he was alive the next morning. Thank you for playing this one.
This song speaks to my heart, and I cry every time I hear it. It reminds me of my mother, whom I lost in 2011 when she was just 56. And I'd failed her in so many ways. This song is basically putting my brain to music, it's exactly what I would say to her. Wow, gonna make myself cry already!! Whew....
This is one of my favorite songs pertaining to addiction. I am glad you dabbled in the fact that addiction can be anything. Including things that are "healthy". People sometimes forget that all things should be done in moderation.
Fear by Blue October is an amazing amazing song you should definitely react to.
This song and FEAR hit home with me. I've been cleaning since 2017 but fought an addiction over 20 years.
Thank you for that ty and I thought that was a old game box to at first lol and u r so right there are so many things other than drugs that u can be addicted to. This song is one of my favorites, they have good songs with meaning behind the words, god bless you for listening to me

Saw Blue October at the Warehouse in Houston and his Mom and a friend were in the wings up close to stage. It was pretty awesome. He looks so different today. Huge Beard. Calmer. He had a really hard breakup with some lady who did him wrong.
This song means so.much different when you can UNDERSTAND his pain. It guts me everytime but i love my Blue October.

I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard "Home" and saw the video. Beautiful song.
Every time I listen to this song, I have a completely different addiction or deficiency that I hate myself for. And we all perform and suffer in a lifetime of silence. Most are too afraid to listen, and the rest don't care. We all fly solo. No matter how much we do not think we do. Respect Modern Renaissance Man.
Reading the comments below makes me want to check out more songs from this band. This song Hate Me is so powerful. I so love the line "when I was busy waging war with myself u were trying to stop the fight." Wow...that lyric is almost as good as Dokken's "will I ever find love and peace of mind." The answer to that...my friends...is no.. Nobody will...
Blue October --- Fear. The singer is bipolar. He got his life together! I know this, because I relate to his song Fear. Fear is deep!
Blue October fear is amazing has a beautiful message also along with it. After my suicide attempt this song came randomly on my Pandora list when I get home from the hospital, I literally feel to the ground crying. Never again will I let fear or anything get in the way of my happiness!
as a family member of an addict whom is now sober she turned me on to this song and it makes me cry everytime i hear it but i understand
thank you for doing Blue October! That entire album is incredible with fantastic lyrical writing.
Home is another good song by Blue October
Hey brother I don't if your well read this. My mother thought highly of you and she passed last Feb. We would share your videos. I am a addict and she passed knowing I was. I'm 4 months clean now. But thank you for your videos. Good bless

Such a powerful song and video. Glad you reacted to it, and I hope more people do the same.
First time watching and subbed. Definitely going to head back to check out the older uploads.
Blue October - Calling you, and Into the ocean are two others that are their best.
They were the last group of the Summer Jam concert and we had to leave before we got to see them. One of my wife's favorite groups. Lots of emotions/feelings in their music.
Wow! I almost forgot about this song. I absolutely love this song!
I’ve never done the first drug, but have loved two very special people who fought it. One made it (so far), but the other one did not. This song really strikes a chord with me.
My favorite band!!!! Love this group and their music. So glad you reacted to this song.

This is my first of hearing of this artist. I am going to say something about "HATE" that has almost zero to do with this song. "Hate" ia such a huge emotion, far more powerful than ,yes, love. Anger, Bitterness, and Hate takes on a life of its own and affects many, it is contagious. A prime example is out politicians, the Senate, the congress, Hollywood have split our Nation in half. Think as though you are in a choir, no one want to sing together, everyone trying to show off their voice because they tink they are that good, total chaos !! Only when the choir leader takes a stand, takes authority and he asks them to just try to be as one for that one day. The end result when they but aside their differences and sing as one, out comes the most angelic song that even the director is taken aback. Hate is ugly, and dark. Love is artfully `beautiful , uplifting and has an emotional strength that makes you, me, we wanting it as well. As I said, this is not about this song, when I saw the look on the singers face, yes I saw hate. The same look that I see around our politicains, etc. What our nation could accomplish if we cared enough for each other for our nation to cross the party line and become as one. My oh my, what we could acomplish.
A song not many people have heard of is "Independently Happy". You should definitely react to it.
It wasn't just addictions, Justin also struggled with serious mental illness which his mother helped him through. Justin is in a Much better place now. You need to check out their recent song "Home" which is juxtaposed to this one.
Calling you,sway, fear, light you up, so many .
This band has helped so many people with their music. Hes an amazing musician!
Great point about addiction. There are so many kinds of addictions. You can be addicted to many things as well! Great video and insight! God bless my friend
Justin (singer) is known for writing songs about his real life. He wrote this song when he was battling substance abuse
Need to see blue October today. Neef to hear their song fear that is extremely uplifting.
I love watching your videos and listening to your opinions of it.........and sometimes it helps me understand them..........even if the lyrics are up, sometimes I don't understand the meaning of them..........If you could play Amos Lee "Violin".........I still haven't figured that one out.....it has the lyrics on it..........Thank You........
I was horribly addicted to soda for years. About a year ago, I started drinking diet soda, then went down to that stevia flavored drink mix, now I just drink water with essence of fruit (squeeze a 🍊 into some water). I've lost 85 lbs since I quit that stuff.
Great choice and reaction. I'm sure very few remember it, but to me the original version of this "Hate Me" video was much more powerful. Wish it was still on youtube
I never really comment. However this band is my all time favorite!! Please react to Blue October “Fear” you won’t regret it!!
Much thank you to Justin and the band. I have lived the past four years with severe Depression and PTSD. Several times I thought of suicide honestly. I started listening to there music. I believe it was a video he was saying "open book". At that moment it clicked. Never speaking up didn't help even though I tried only to be shut down. I went through emotional abuse from several people. I decided to put fear behind me and speak up. The support is overwhelmingly awesome. I have put some things on my FB page of what I gone through. It was cool seeing them live in Baltimore Maryland (May 2018). Hopeing to go again someday. Thanks for your review. It was interesting to hear your perspective.
Kaytelyn Tarver has a great one with a good meaning also called You Don't Kow
I did speed for 30 something years, when I finally quit, I didn't have withdrawls. The Lord heard my prayers! With Him anything is possible!
Thank you for making it clear that addiction doesn’t have to be a substance, many addictions are behaviors based on attachments, a person’s past and upbringing and so on. This song hurts my ex sent this to me before he disappeared, our separation was he wasn’t part of it he ran away like I was dead to him. Moving and cleaning up that mess was in my lap and I was heartbroken. The video makes people think it’s about his mother yet it’s his ex girlfriend, he wrote this song after Calling me, it’s meant to be an apology. Personally I was angry, I saw this as a cop out way to leave someone you supposedly loved. The importance of his mom imo is she’s his crutch, the extreme mamas boy who didn’t detach from her, she may or may not have allowed him to live independently from her and his family. A man who doesn’t think for himself, does what others say is best, the man who lets his mom control his adult life and relationships, it happens and they tell her all about your issues that they won’t speak to you about. Avoids conflict to the point plays the disappearing act. These people have needs that are impossible to meet, expectations to be Saved by another person, that’s an inside job. My experience was the worst years of my life because I had no closure and he went to the next woman and he’d cheated and lied until he had a back up, the only thing he said was you couldn’t heal me. People who all but destroy another with this immaturity don’t tend to look inside themselves. They blame then leave you for dead. This song makes me sad and mad at the same time. My thoughts are personal and Justin said this song is about his ex Mamie.
For something I don't think you've done, try symphonic metal. Nightwish live at Wacken 2013 - song Ghost Love Score. What a voice!
Beware of marijuana side effects: hunger and laughter. That made me giggle. It's so true.
So glad you did this song! Another great video.
By brother in-law played this a lot when he got sober, he had Cryptococcal Meningitis that forced him sober but his choice kept him sober for over 10 yrs

I know you have done some Chris Stapleton. Try his song fire away and video. It is about mental illness but from the person who is trying to help. It's really good. It also reminds me of what my husband would do for me as I fight with anxiety and depression.. Love your videos...👏👏

Saw this on another video of this song: "Just a happy thought for everyone, despite the ending of the video, Justin's mom is quite alive, and plays herself in the video. It's actually here. So yeah, she's good. He's also happily married since 2012 and has a son and daughter. He's moved past his demons, and he's ok. I hope you all do too. Coming from a guy who's channeled around 27 years of depression and difficulty into music. :) Bless you all."
I have a request, a song that reflects on a bad day and the song has stood the test of time--"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. Be sure to do a lyrical video and then discuss.....
