❤ sending love to you my friend! ❤️ I adore Blue October as well

Justin's song "Fear" is proof that he got past those bad times. It's an inspirational song!

Your empathy and love is something I’m not used to seeing here. I was instantly moved. I hope you feel the love and support in your own life in the same way you put it out there. Thank you for being such a positive force in this world my dude.

Welcome to the Blue Family 💙 This group has been my touchstone for years; Justin sings songs that speak for me.

As I heard it said once, Justin writes songs for "the rest of us".

I almost lost my son in 2018 to suicide. That phone call from his best friend at 1am I will never forget. First thing my son said to me when I got to the er was I need a haircut. First thing I said to him was you need a hug. I held him and we cried. He's my baby. And I almost lost him.

Love this song and love this band!! Alot of people think his mom died bc of the video... that is not the case. His "addiction" died and he got sober basically. Best concert you will ever go to seen them 7 times and it's amazing he talks about all his songs and where they came from at the time!!! 💙BlueFamily Much love to everyone💙

Was introduced to Blue October years ago, but recently, I watched The Feel Again (Stay) from the DVD and while I'd always been afraid I would be out of place in the crowd, that video put seeing them in concert on my bucket list. Sixth row, center section, meet and greet - amazing experience that I will repeat in the future. Regarding the video, there is a video of an interview with the Professor of Rock where I found out that in the scene where he is passed out on the floor, that is actually his mother, and when they finished filming it, the director immediately cleared the room. She was crying. Next reaction, given your thoughts before the video even started, needs to be Fear. The acoustic version is good, but start with the official music video.

That was his real mom in that video. Real message played and everything.

This song always hits

There was a time in my life that this song was everything! I fought like hell and made it through! Praise Jesus!

I know brother, them tears are just doing their job. Much love

As a survivor, I know it's hard peering into that abyss. The one thing I've learned is there is beauty in every experience as messed up as that may seem. The fact that I get to experience the ugly is beautiful and makes the good times just that much sweeter. It's always darkest before the dawn...but the sun will rise.

Light you up is another great one. The lead singer has such passion and honesty. The concert video is the best version 😊

Nice work, brother. Thank you. Welcome to the Blue Family! 💙

I cried when I first it..eventhough it has a different meaning but when I cried it was cause I was dealing with my mental health (silently,yeah nobody took notice something was wrong until almost 16 years later when I finally spoke about it)

Into the Ocean is another good video by them. Loved the reaction as always.

Anyone who has lived that kinda life knows we can't hold those tears back

That's the honest to God's truth.

I heard this song when it first came out, but only once or twice on the radio. Came across it on KZread over a year ago while going through some bad withdrawals, the song was so spot on with what I was going through. Im back chasing the dragon, it sucks, but I'm taking care of my business. Im going on 55, I remember at 8 sitting on the edge of my bed listening to a song like this one that had me in tears, it saved me because I knew how mad my dad would be if I caused the barrel to rust, I've tried hanging, but damn that hurts, but I'd never go through with it, because life goes through phases, some good, some bad, just need to hold out for the next good one to come along

My son sends this to me when he was drinking and drugs and driving… he will always send to me several times… I know he is hurting… he lost his dad unexpectedly… his world was turned upside down. It's getting better, one minute at a time♥️

take care of yourself, because if you can't do that you can't take care of him, telling him he is loved, I'm sorry you have to go though this but please let him know he matters, last year I tried to take my own life twice, the wrist didn't work and the noose snapped, I'm here to stay now and try to help other with the same issues I have, when I lost both my father and mother last yea I wanted to stop the pain, end it all, but I met a man in a programme who losts his two sons to drugs and I'm chainging my mindset, you have no Idea how far "I'm proud of you" goes

I always send my dad songs I think he will like. I have had drug problems in the past but never suicidal. There were plenty of times I wouldn’t have cared if I died but I would never even consider taking my life cus of what it would do to my family. He watched this and freaked out calling me to make sure I was ok. I had to calm him down and tell him I just thought he would like the song.

Beautiful. His vocals r so good. More of this group please. Please know that no one is alone. Everyone struggles with something - no matter how good they r at hiding it.

You and me both! I have had PTSD for 30+ years!! You have my love and respect. This is one of my favorite songs, but you should check out their newest songs! Blue October has some amazing new songs and very positive! Hugs!

Home Blue October!

Thank you for being such a beautiful human being. This is my first time seeing your reaction videos, and I found you due to this song in particular. This song hits me in the feels so bad. I have never struggled with addiction, I do struggle with depression and anxiety. Something that can take hold and keep me under water in emotion. Sometimes a good cry is what I need and Blue October hits every time.

Love you all. Please Lord, wrap your arms around all those who are hurting and my precious brother here, who loves so deeply. In Jesus Name

Thank you for sharing this! I'm sure I can speak for the group when I say we love you too. The motivation is much appreciated. Now stop crying and let that handsome smile shine through! PS I'm not gay but I can acknowledge a nice smile!

Yo I'm not even into the song reaction yet but I have to say I FUCKING LOVE THIS BRO and THANK YOU. I love this song deeply, because I think it fuckin rips but it also speaks to what I feel and go through most every day and I just appreciate you taking a moment to say life is beautiful and we should all stay here. There have been days I didn't want to stay here anymore but now all I ever want to do is be a light in the darkness and vids like this really can be lights in the darkness for people who are feeling lost or ready to give up. I appreciate you so much for this man, I thank you and I hope you're feeling blessed

Also please remember it's 100% okay to protect your own peace now and then. I live in addiction and depression, I know how much it sucks, and one of the worst parts of it is putting that weight on our friends, or our loved ones, or KZreadrs we just discovered who reacted to a song we like... all that shit. It doesn't make you any less kind to take a breather now and then. I can tell just from this intro you're a very kind and empathetic person and I hope you never let the weight of this world get to you too much--and if it ever does, please take a break. Saying that out of love and appreciation

Bad times happen to all of us. It's part of life. I remember a time I didn't care about myself but stayed strong for others making their lives better. Eventually I started loving myself. My depression was healed. I'm still helping people as best I can but sometimes people don't want help. My advice is to find a reason to Love Yourself. Only that person can break their depression. Hope my advice was helpful. Honestly Loyalty and your Word are your best qualities.

Blue October is so underrated. Dirt room is gritty and you’d prob like it too

thank you for your show of sensitivity , your sensitivity makes us human

You are a compassionate lovely human being. God bless your good heart.❤🙏💜👍

Check out Fear by Blue October, the original version/music video & acoustic version -- both are a must. Also, Life Is Beautiful by SIXX:A.M. -- formed by Mötley Crüe bassist, lyricist, Nikki Sixx.

Not many people on this earth can understand what it's like to live with someone you can't stand to be around. Wake up every day and that person is there and you can't get away from them. When that person is yourself. Like this song is saying. You're family and friends are your life raft keeping you afloat. But you realize the weight you are pulling them down with is terrible. You would rather them hate you then pull them down with you. It's kinda like the movie scenes you see. Where you have one person catch someone falling off a cliff. The person who's falling realizes your both going to go and you know that person loves you to much that they won't let go. So you have to be the one to do it. Sorry for the emotional response but this video just hit me hard.

I lost my brother to suicide in 2008 and it's definitely hard,and I know how this song feels I feel and felt it many times,God bless all and always love yourself

I love your emotion ❤ stay the way you are! The world needs you and I’m sending positive vibes your way ❤️ I lost my brother on his 29th bday. He OD and my mom found him 😢 I watch her go through the toughest pain everyday from losing her son 😢

I always cry at this song for my beloved Mother who passed. I love you Mommy. I'm sorry.

As a brother torn on the brother, I just want to say you're very old. Touch me because I can see. You going through something and brother and just wanna show my heart and give you your flowers and we all love you all here

When we cry our body creates saltwater that cleans our soul just like we wash our bodies our soul needs cleaning once and awhile!

Love ya brother great reaction!!!! Spread peace and LOVE!!!!!!! I somehow made it out the other side from a situation like that!!!!! Love your channel, love you man!!!!

I havent even seen you review the video yet, and I liked and subscribed. Keep doing you, bro. Your a real one

This is the best KZread channel of all time.

You should listen to Fear by Blue October, Justin is a master at song writing and story telling.

You sir, are what I want to be. Thank you. Thank you, for inspiring me.

This song absolutely hits me so hard. I'm an addict and have been since the 90s, I've put my mom through so much shit. It's really hard for me to listen to this song

Sending alll the love and hugs to everyone seeing this video❤❤❤❤❤

Evan Honer- Brother.....its a song that hit for my bro and I. Made us both understand whats going on with each other.

Whenever I get close to ending it all I listen to this song....I love my boys more than anything and if I took my life they would have every right to hate me and I would encourage them to but I really just want them to love me....and they do I just need to learn how to feel it and except it

LOVE THIS RECOVERY SONG!!!

This reaction caused subscription. As an artist this is the emotion sought to invoke. I believe all these things are common struggles for humans in this day & age. Justin one of the best front men of all time imo. Catching this year's show in Albuquerque Nov. 4. Like hate me & the passion in this video? See them live ASAP. Haunting performances. Cheers from New Mexico! Please stay humble & contrite. Love the attitude bro. Homicide & suicide are real problems for many & they plague all human kind. God bless you bro & i hope your channel prospers.

Sometimes when you realize YOU’RE the anchor that is dragging everyone else down and you force them to cut-bait. Sometimes the LEAST destructive thing you can do is leave.

To address your comments and emotion at the beginning of your reaction you MUST watch their song “Fear” either the official video or acoustic solo - either is amazing. Listening to this song is NOT a choice. Please do it. It will help.

I've been scrolling through the comments, knowing that other people HAD to have already made this recommendation, and liking them when I see them. I think the official video is a better place to start and then move on to the acoustic version,, but both are worth watching.

Your sweetness and empathy is needed in this world. Make sure to keep yourself grounded and not let the darkness pull you in too much. Shine on!

You sir are the true fact that there is truly no real racism in the USA no matter what the morons in the media says.. you are real, you are raw,, and we all love you too

This song and Justins lyrics saved my life. Their music has saved my life a few times. I wouldnt be here without them and thaats real talk.

That was beautiful ❤️ I've never seen one of your videos before, but i sub you now, because of your passion ❤️i love you too, and everyone out there who needs it❤️

You are inl my heart and prayers😢

Check out Blue October “Fear” Acoustic Version ❤❤❤

Little piece at least one other person likely said here but I will to. That voicemail was an actual voicemail that was sent to Justin.

If you get the chance, I highly recommended seeing this band live. They truly helped me get sober two years ago. A little faith and good music is all it took and my life is infinitely better 🙌🏻 God bless.

I have been listening to this truly astounding and inspirational band for 20 years. So powerful to hear his raw emotion and life experiences and how in effects all of us . We all relate and feel the pain and also healing .

Oh Brother!🖤

Iv lived my whole life in depression was born into it almost. I'm now 34 years old and still fighting. Life is tough and hard but there is beauty and love and it makes it worth it in the end. When I see my beautiful children smile or laugh I know everything in this world will be ok

I appreciate you. I’m in a dark place. I’m not proud or happy to admit it, but somebody like you who spreads positivity brings a light into the darkness that you have no idea.

Quite the opening

Oh man this song is so deep 😞

You are just a wonderful kid!! Music Heals!! And listening with you , it Heals Me!! Miss you Mom and Dad!! Everyday!! Thank you!! ❤

Outstandingly written and sung! Such passion! ❤

Thid=s hits in the feels.

Wish I could hug you, dude.

Blue October has a few other songs that are good, but my favorite is Worry List. If you have a child, especially if you are divorced and dealing with custody this will hit hard.

Love this band, Please do more of them.

Great reaction man. We all going through something and reactions to great meaningful songs like this are a blessing tbh

Hey bro I told you back when you were trying to reach 70k you were gonna go way beyond that! I'm super proud of you bro and I love you homie and keep your head up!!

On a positive note, I love your reactions and I''ve shed tears for a lot of these songs. The love for music is very powerful. Just take it easy and as you know the world is very SAD! but don't let it ruin your mojo is what I'm saying Your videos bring great joy to me. I'm 6 yrs sober from hard drugs (It was the best of times and the worst of times). lol. I very much enjoy your music and these reactions but just take care of yourself first bro these convos are heartbreaking and you are helping ppl but at a cost to your own soul. just know its okay to tap out for a moment of fresh air. So I just wanted to let you know that it's not always bad, people do recover and the sun rises again. All the love to you!

Please react to their song Fear.

❤

Gotta check out Noah Gunderson - "Days Are Gone"

I fight for every breath and it hurts! Been doing this for 2 years. Just ran across this and thank you for your realness! I feel this song and also breaking breaking Benjamin dear agony aurora version. I've had 3 hospital stays the last one in a coma for 4 days. Thanks for this.

I'm right there with the bad thoughts bro. Line from and nf song keeps coming back to me "suicidal thoughts come and go like a guest to me. But I don't wanna I just want relief"

If I could emotionally shutdown forever, it would be a blessing.

Stay by Sugarland.

You should listen to Hinder - What Ya Gonna Do…

Thank you brother im sorry for this. this song speaks to my whole situation my mum always tries her very best to help me when im raging war on myself. Even threw my continued attempts to end it all. Im so sorry for all the long negative mesages i send. With my depression and other mental problems i just cant keep fighting anymore. The fits the voices and my body giving up on me. I know it would be better if i just dissapired from the earth. Ive been in tears loosing every fight with the inner demons. My mum helped me get of the bad drugs i used to take but i still feel like im not worth living as you saw in my mesages. Ive been to theropy before and was laught at because of what happend to me being beaten and abused by an ex gf and being told by hospitals and doctors im not aloud to work because of all my illnessess. Im 31 living with my mum and step dad and i know i will never get better or get married and have kids. I love you brother and everyone on the familiy i just know im better off gon. Thank you so much for hearing me out and just speaking to me and for listening to this song as it says everything about me. Im so so sorry for making you sad brither. I wish you and everyone the best of health and succsess in life i truely mean it. ❤️
