It’s an answering machine that he puts in the grave. The voices in his head - the voices recorded on the answering machine (mainly his moms voice). It’s his way of moving on. In a way, he no longer is haunted by the bad times. Throwing past memories away and trying to move on in a positive manner

Blue october is an amazing band that's so underrated and not as well known but I promise, if you go down this rabbit hole of listening to more of them, you'll be hooked on them

He said in an interview that he wrote this while locked away doing drugs and drinking and all these people kept reaching out to him to see if he was ok (mainly his ex who he left and his mother). The message on the answering machine was left by his mother and was kinda the spark that created the mood for the song.

The song is actually about an ex girlfriend that was there during his addiction days. He left her because he didnt feel like he deserved her. The music video plays out like its his mom. The actress playing his mom is actually his real mom.

I heard this song again during a time when I had someone very close to me going through a bad addiction and it totally hit me different .....that's when their music really started to mean a lot to me.

We saw an acoustic concert of them, here in Texas. It touched so many people, there were more tears than I have ever seen at a concert. But they were good tears in the end. He taught us huge lessons.

This whole album got me through some pretty dark places. Hate Me was easily their most famous song but Into the Ocean was probably my favorite song of theirs.

After all these years this song still hits me like a sack of bricks. It doesn't help I share the same first name as him, so I end up connecting it more to me when the recording says my name

This song truly gets me every single time. I'm an addict (clean for 11 years). I hated myself for a very VERY long time. For what I put my family through. My close friends. What I put everyone through. Good thing is, I'm working on myself. It's been a process for sure. I'm taking it day by day. I feel this song in my soul. It's so moving. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song ❤️

I became an opiate addict not intentinally via my doctor due to a skull fracture. It was for well over 20 years. My 2nd ex wife started stealing my meds and do so much more that she went to jail and i left her. Shortly after i vowed to never take meds again because i saw what it was doing to me and how it effected my now about to be 3rd wife who i have known since 1992. I have been clean since 2011. Thats when she moved into my life and just before 2012 is when i stopped. i went off all of the pain meds. Yes i deal with insane pain due to that... but its nothing compared to the pain meds cause. No matter how good that warm blanket feels when its wraps around you... its not worth the ones that can love you. Ive been clean since then. I will always be clean for her and my kids and hers plus my now grand kids. They deserve that. No matter my pain... i will be there for them before me. I love them that much. I hope this wakes at least one person up from the cloud of pain meds or whatever they are dealing with. If i can do it for this long... they can too. Trust me... every day is a battle. Every day haunts me. They are worth me being there for them.

He's since dedicated this to everyone who was affected by his addiction and self loathing. Please do Fear and Worry List.

Everyone interprets it differently. That’s the beauty of music. He has talked about about struggling with depression and addiction when he was younger and he’s always trying to help his fans that are suffering from depression, mental illness and addiction. He’s not just an amazing musician but a amazing man too!

Finally Blue October!!!!! please listen to Fear -Live. Angela will love it!

Listen to Fear by them. Another heart string puller.

I haven’t even started the video and I’m guessing this one will really pull at y’alls heartstrings!

Got to see them in concert a few years ago. They are amazing!

Love seeing first time reaction, grooving to the beat and then the emotion rips your heart out and you are on Justin's ride!!

Please go down this rabbit hole. Blue October is so underrated. Fear is the song that literally saved my life. Please give it a listen!

Of all the songs that could have helped the band break through, it was "Hate Me," his open letter to an ex-lover who bore the brunt of his battle with addiction. Furstenfeld said the song's success felt like vindication. "I'm really proud of the fact that that song was the one," Furstenfeld said.

mad props for #BlueOctober song! Appreciate your reaction! But yeah I believe it was the mother who died...

The Answer and Schizophrenia are 2 of the most soul crushing, depressing songs you will ever hear. love em.

Thè lead singer Justin Furstenfeld and the drummer Jeremy are brothers. Their mom plays his mom in the video and shes still alive and well. The message on answering machine was a real message from his mom to him at a time in his life that he was deep in drugs and he has struggled with depession and bi-polar since he was young. I think the message reminded him that as secret as he thought he was being moms just know. Also this song was written to an ex Mamie that he broke up with cause he was in the mindset he didn't need no girl cause he was going to be touring. The song CALLUNG YOU was written for same girl before this song and this song was kind of an apology after he realized what he lost. Justins not afraid to be vulnerable and has always been in love with being in love. He's now 9.5 yrs sober and has a beautiful wife and 3 amazing kiddos. I finally get to see them live in a month. So excited. New sub here.

He put the answering machine at the grave because the message she left him just reminds him of all the people in his life (mostly his ex and his mother) who stood right by his side in the heat of his addiction and struggle with mental illness. No matter how dark things got they were there for him. He cannot deal with the guilt of knowing that he was responsible for bringing pain in their lives and how they sacrificed their own happiness and needs to ensure he was okay! His emotions are raw and it never ceases to bring a tear to my eye.

You should see them do this song live.. the amount of feeling in it is crazy.

*Justin has an amazing voice! Please check out their song "Fear".*

I'm sure most people know it, but the message you here on the answering machine is an actual message his mom left him. This song now makes me think of my dad that passed away about 3 years ago. I kept a few of his things to at least have some small part of him in a way, so I can understand him keeping that message, I would do the same. This song just hits me in my core or soul, whatever you want to call it, and I cry every time. BTW I love the channel, you guys give both intelligent and entertaining reactions and analysis. You also have open minds on different genres which is always good. When people ask me what type of music I like, I say good music. I don't care what the genre is as long as it makes me feel something.

He is correct, when he said he choose suicide so mom can rest assured peacefully, yes it was selfish of him but he did whatever he thought was best for his mom, in video he is walking down the stairs and you see his mom holding him, he says with a side heart i say bye to you and waved, and hes walking out the door think of it he is going into the light when exiting the house, cause he thinks he fixed it and his mom says how can you do this to me, its really noticeable in the video. He wanted his mom to be happy my assumption was he fell back into his old ways, cause of addiction. He just didnt want her seeing him struggle throughout it. Just piece the video visualize it first and tell me you see it how i do the song is so emotional but when he is singing it you can feel hes not only singing it but feeling it in emotions like its actually happened and this is his sorry to her through music video and how he truly actually feels. Just visualize it and listen to the real actual emotions in his voice seriously ❤😢 Also, the tape recorder he's holding through the video im assuming hes recording his reasons why he what he did and thats why at the end places it on his grave then you see it back inside what im assuming the families house, which leaves you to belive she heard it and thats where it'll stay thats what im assuming 😢😢

This band is so great. Look up more of their songs. You won't regret it. They have helped bring me back from such a dark place.

Best band of all time. Justin is a savior for most of us

Glad you found this group they are doing a tour right now. Can't wait to see your reaction to rob or even shinedown monster may be one you need

The part where he was at the grave, his mother had passed and that he regrets how he treated his mother. He wishes he could take back what he’d done. “And then she whispered ‘how can you do this to me’” is when she passed.

This is a tough one.... Kills me every time. Good one.

Dude. I THINK U NAILED THE MEANING! Good job. Makes sense.

the one in the grave was his mother. When I first heard this song I almost cried

His mom died (in the video) and now it's too late to make amends. It was a story about his drug use and telling his mom just to hate him , so it will be easier for her. Stop caring because all he does is cause pain with his drug use.

Listen to that all the time.Awesome.

The story of the song is that his mother died before they could make peace

The greatest addiction And substance misuse song ever written

I bought this CD the minute I heard it on the radio. The video makes it hit even harder and the slow walk to put his answering machine on his mother's grave gets me every time. He regrets that he didn't stop using while his mom was alive. Home is another good Blue October tune.

The message on the answering machine is real. It's his real mother whom he wrote the song about. It's about his regrets with drugs and what it put his mother through and his own guilt of what he put her through then losing her

This song hits me so close to home

The end shows each choice he is torn between...giving up, or going to his mother.

"your life would be better if you hated me" is what its about

At the beginning it is a real voicemail his mom left him. In the video, when the lady is laying over him and holding him, that is is mom(they flew her out to be in the video)

Plz do bleed out by blue October

I think he left the voice recorder at the grave yard because it was the last thing he had with his moms voice on it. And I think she passed away before he got his shit together… I think he regrets his mom hanging on at the end of her life, suffering, hoping that he’ll get better before she passes, and I don’t think he did. I think he wanted her to hate him so she could stop worrying about him. I may be wrong but that’s what I’m thinking. I can’t remember the whole story

The song is about his deceased mother.

Worry List from Blue October is even better.

Into the Ocean is Awesome also by Blue October.

In an interview he said is an apology to his first ex, his mom and everyone he hurt. Listen to foiled beginning to end.

He buried the addict side of himself, finding his worth.

There are certain songs that drag you back into certain parts of your life that you can never forget, a d this is one for me. One of the most painful parts of my life. It’s been damn near 20 years and this song brings all the emotions and pain from back then. I love it but hate it at the same time

Blue October has great songs about some heavy subjects.. "The End" and "The worry list" are also great!

The mother dies as in the video he is walking through her empty home one last time.

Go watch the live 10th anniversary performance of this song

The intro got static x Z28 girl dancing vibes

That grave is his mother's

1st verse is about his ex 2nd verse is about his friends 3rd verse is about his mother that died.

So the message at the beginning of the song was a real message left by his mother that helped him see what he was doing to people that care about him. The song is actually talking to all of the people that were there for him through his troubles including his ex girlfriend.

I think that him leaving the answer machine at the cemetery is him leaving the past behind...........

Ive raised my mom from the age of 8.... Didnt off myself because of my younger brother..... And then one crack house after the other..... Shit was hard!!!! Im almost 40 now, and ive never heard a sorry..... Id drop that shit there and walk away as well!!!

His mom was checking on him

Amazing band.. singer and song writer.. amazing live... This song is about a girl he was with right before he made it.. He ghosted her after..it's an apology letter

The verses and chorus lines are all cut short because this is the radio version, so you're not hearing the full version of the song. You should hear the studio version, then you'll be able to really get a grasp for the entirety of it. It's better as well. The music video cuts too much out.

I am thinking it was his mom passed and he has all these regrets

Days off are addictive like a drug just hoping you are all doing well

Pick any song off Foiled . It’s a great album. Fear is a fight song from a later album

Drug addiction, he was thinking he lost all the people he loves!!!

I'm almost sure it was his mother who died. So no matter what, you got to keep living. For her and yourself . It's the only way .

He left the answering machine at his mom's grave. She died. In real life she's alive

You need to check out "take a picture" from picture

3:11 he's talking about crystal meth

Hes not talking aiut his mom. Hes talking sbout everyone who koves him. Hes also not talking about alcoholism. Hes talking about drug addiction.
