OMG this version is so powerful and beautiful, I have 24 years recovered from Meth, and am glad that my own Mom and Dad got to see me sober and get my life together before they passed away.

This acoustic version feels like revisiting old pain after you’ve healed. This is so beautiful. Justin is such a lovely soul. Many times his music has poignantly articulated pain I felt but didn’t know how to face.

That’s awesome … Every time I listen to the song I plug-in how many months I’ve been sober… 14 months to help me with

This song is so moving to me! It takes me back to a very bad time in my life, when I was an addict and I ruined alot of lives! I revisit it all the time to remind me, I am not that person anymore! It doesn't hurt as much but the sting is always there! If I feel weak it, sets me straight!

I just dig Jusin. His story of accomplishment and battling demons is just incredible. I just love this version of such a great song! God Speed to you, dude! Keep the music alive, brother!

This was the first song I fell in love with when I moved to US.. totally new world for me and this song was with me every day.. today, after a lot of years, I am back to Italy and I can't live without blue october and the memories they recall.. they are just carved into my soul.. thank you, you made me live a great experience..

This is a great version of the song. Knowing and relating to his history, you can feel him retelling it with a new stability that is only found with someone who has the wisdom of conquering addiction. The imperfections only add to the humanity of it. The cuts, the scars, the trauma. You can feel it. It's far from perfect, but that's what makes it perfectly real and relatable.

First time hearing this version. Justin and Blue October are amazing!!! I saw them at Mount Baker theater in Bellingham Washington. and really hope they make it back up here. would love to see them again!!!... they also ate at the restaurant I work at Arliss

brought a tear to my eye man beautiful!!!

That was awesome, raw and real no bullshit just emotion

God bless you Justin, luv you bro, You are such an inspiration to me, and I am sure to others as well.

'Sway' was an amazing record. 'Angels in Everything' is one of the great songs I ever heard. The most hopeful, humble, grateful, and appreciative love song I have ever heard.

This is such an inspiration to me. I am a Lover, a father, a guitar player and teaching the love of my life everything I have learned and know about music. Music is our love and our life and I never in a million years thought that the music that I love unconditionally would ever hurt me until I saw the sparkly gleam in her eyes start to fade away while she sang to me. Her and I both battle the demons of addiction and depression and we have done it together for almost 8 years and recently found ourselves a thousand miles away from home with our two beautiful babies and had to make the hardest decision that we have ever encountered as a couple. And that was facing the fact that our little family might be better off apart for a short period of time. Sometimes you have to let go in order for what's best to be manifested. I still can't decide if it was for the best or if it was the worst decision we ever made but sometimes I listen to this song and play it on my guitar and for that short moment in time I'm free. Free of the chains of darkness and demons, free from the voices of our conscience that constantly keep us bound down. So for that I thank you Justin Furstenfeld. Your songs to people like us are so much more than just entertainment. They give us hope.

God, his voice...beautiful.

Songs of my heart. Hearing it makes living it bearable. Thank you Justin.

How can't you love this

My favorite song EVER!!!! Thank you for posting.

This song has just always spoke to me it always breaks me down but it brings me up thank you for this masterpiece

Breathtaking...

I love this guy... So great with his music!

So loved this rendition. Can feel the song bone-deep within. I love this man😘

Awww what can I say, this song hits me in the guts each time. So brilliant.

Wow. I love this song so much. And with this acoustic version I love it even more.

just awesome. friggen beautiful!

Justin is life. Truly.

One of the only songs in the world that could make me cry cause it hits soo damn close to home.....

The words that describe me and my alter ego. The song that paints the streaked picture between me and my beautiful son who continues to struggle

This is my go to song when I have hurt I need to sit in for a minute

This man ... is everything

I love him

I love Justin

I was over this song seeing as it seemed to be way over played here, but this version of the song is amazing.

Chills, hes always been damn awsome ❤✌

The importance of the statement he made in the beginning of this interview regarding his intention to help create momentum for change for fathers everywhere is WOW! The statement that he follows with, that he became discouraged when he didn't see immediate results and spiraled. "So am I going to be able to see my daughter?" is all to familiar to me. My children were taken from me and mental health issues became a contributor. I hope the issue of children being wrongly kept from their parents, and mental health issues can be addressed in a way that binds families together.

Perfect!

best artist EVER

Loved "Hate Me" immediately, right from the 1st time I heard the 1st verse. This is a great stripped down version. I'm also a huge fan of Guild acoustic guitars.

Amazing, brother. You're an inspiration.

Brilliant

Beautiful 😍😍👌

Epic Song

hey Justin I was I'm a beautiful world got a hernia, 340 bench, knees hurt .wife left. a was in another world . I lost everything. home , wife 1 kid, .everyone needs this style music. I'm sober off herion, methadone. I'm final happy inside. that's key. U still have beautiful voice. it tells how bad, hard,. kids are so powerful in that thin line. I'm at a point in peace and I reduced my wife. 17 year's. we were a family but I did all. she has to love life first,I can't do it. and I finally am off heroin. Opiots. it's so strange it's powerless over me. it was my battle of battles. I moving forward. I saw my grandkid and a power like a never felt . I made me change. I'm back to a rock of guidance. ready.

Same thing happened to me but i was addicted to heroin and it was my father. He even said how could you do this to me after I regained life after a overdose. Long story short, I put him through hell and back because of my addiction. Things I can never take back. It literally hurts to think about it.

That'd be the only way to top this performance of this song and how it would be played forever. A 10 minute out of body experience!

Does anyone know what that 4th chord is on this version. Original is G,Em,C,Am. In this version it's not Am, it may be Asus4. Anyone?

@johnofark9977

Am for the verses, but the one in the intro is a Justin Furstenfeld Asus4, he does it a lot, basically its an "open" Asus4, but often times he will not play the open-A and it winds up being xx223x. Learn to play the song Define The Trail, it will shed light on most of the Justin Fustenfeld chord variations.

yeah intro it's Gadd9th Em C an open Asus4 and verses it's Gadd9th Em C Am choruses are Gadd9th Em C Dsus and The Bridge is Am Dsus4 Gadd9th Em. all Justin did in the acoustic way of this song is change the D and Am in the intro chorus and bridge to an Asus4 and Dsus4
