Hi there new fan and a suicide survivor, love the content and your openess to us. I'd love for you to watch for your reaction to "Wristcutters: A Love Story" it's a film that really got me through my highschool life 10 years ago
Seeing them perform live gave me an almost religious experience that I never got from any church or religion. I definitely think of my ex when I hear this song. We had a very toxic relationship and we’ve both moved on, but I don’t ever wanna forget her or vice versa. Going through what we did was necessary for us to grow and find the happiness we both have. Now my journey I’ve just started a few months ago is getting hard. From finding out how my family trauma has shaped who I am all the way to now figuring out how I abuse myself in my own head and trying to find out how to not hate myself anymore. My girlfriend of almost nine years just recently told me she feels ready to marry me because of the healing I have been doing, however I still don’t feel worthy of it and I don’t see a scenario where I don’t mess it up. I still have a long way to go, and thank you for giving me a safe place to share the things I’m still not comfortable with saying out loud
@@MentalAmanda thank you so much for this and the message you send in your videos. The way you spoke of your feelings in this video is something I will strive for in myself
This band saved my life. More accurately, the lead singer Justin, and a conversation I had with him. I was in a really dark place, and a lot of their older music is quite dark. I resonated with it. It helped me through tough times, but music only goes so far. I was planning on ending things when I could muster up the courage. I was about 17. Serendipitously, my friend who worked at a radio station said they were coming in for an interview and were going to do a small private show for the people at the station, and they could bring one friend. My friend knew I was obsessed with them, so she brought me, and it was the most amazing intimate 'concert' for about 25 people. The drummer literally was drumming on chairs (and rocked it out!) instead of a drum kit. Afterwards, he signed autographs and chatted with people. I met him and as inappropriate as this is, I hugged him. I didn't ask I just hugged him and started crying a little. He pulled me off to the side and talked to me for what must have been literally 10-20 minutes. I didn't have to tell him what was going on, he knew, and the actual content of what he told me I wish I could remember. I was too busy feeling the entire weight of the world lift off my shoulders, being told everything was going to be okay from the one person I KNEW understood my pain. If he said it could get better, then it could. I listened to him. I am alive today. Blue October is beyond 'my favorite band'. I think Justin Furstenfeld taking that 10-20 minutes with me *saved my life*. He's my hero.
Oh my god, how many times have I watched that video, and never until this right now, did I understand that he literally found her in pieces and put her back together! That's some heavy metaphor right there. 10/10
Glad you gave Blue October a listen. If you would, please listen to "Hate Me" by them. It talks about telling someone to do whatever they need to do to move on with their life and be happy.
Blue October is a wonderful band, and Justin's lyrics have seen a remarkable journey over the years. His mental health and his relationships with family and former family are a driving factor of many of their songs, especially the singles. Seeing him get to a better place through his lyrics has been a joy over the years.
What an amazing reaction and discussion that was created by this song Honestly it got me thinking of some of my ex's in a possibly different way Thanks for introducing this to me
I am sorry to anyone I have hurt. My illness has hurt so many, including me. Not fair, but let's make something of this life. Never give up....for me. Loved this reaction, your cause, and Blue October. New subscriber, darren
Great request William. A positive lyric song YEAH!!! We all need it these days. We can't build that perfect mate like this guy did, we have to take people as they are, flaws and all because we all have them. Thank you for bringing this one to us Amanda.
This song reminds me of another Blue October song "Overweight." "I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry, but I'm happy that you're happy. This is no longer about me."
I love the Blue October song Hate Me. ! I can relate with it so much from my past. Having once been a addict while you're living that way you truly dont realize how much your actions hurt the people you love. You put them through so much that after a while you begin to think you're only worthy of their hate more than their love. But I am sure you will agree that Love is a powerful motivatation.
first of all ur insanely beautiful never forget that! second of all if if u don't do a reaction to this song u should give blue october all that we are a listen it's amazing oh and the live version of this song I Hope You're Happy he brings his family and friends on stage it's so emotional in a good way
Love the reaction and your videos. Justin the lead singer has battled depression anxiety drug and alcohol addiction.and has been sober now for 9 years. His older stuff is darker but so good as is his new stuff like this song. I would definately check out Fear by them.
If you love great writing, you'll love listening to more Blue October! Justin Furstenfeld is an AMAZING artist! He's dealt with addiction, depression and anxiety throughout his life and his music conveys that. His music is like a story of his life and is extremely inspirational and has helped thousands going through the same things by knowing they weren't alone!! Wishing you the very best and hoping you'll explore more Blue October!
Could not agree more mate! His music is truly inspirational,fear...saved my life but ive been a fan for over half my life! This band is truly life altering
Thanks for doing this song, it definitely helped to remind me that no matter what pain lies behind from my divorce what I should be doing is trying to look forward. I will always hope for only the best for my ex wife and will regret the pain I caused her, but no amount of dwelling on those past mistakes will fix them or help her now in any way. Gotta try to keep going forward, still wishing her the best but not living in the regret.
My ex-fiance's family hates me because I taught her how to be independent and by helping her become independent, I took their controll over her away. Now she's happily married with three kids. She's also the only ex that I keep in touch with.
I wish you would have done the acoustic version of this. It has more meaning. Listen to Dirt Room and Worry List to get the context and full weight of this remarkable song. To witness his maturity, healing, grace and forgiveness in the moment he wrote this is remarkable. His life story is also something to marvel at as a testimony for us dealing with struggles of all kinds.
Great reaction!! Based on your description you wrote for this video please check out their song "Moving on" it is about growth from relationships, personal hardships, mental health honestly whatever it is that is holding you back. Please check it out 🙏
I love how you react an show people that our battles are not fought alone. I'd love you to react to Dear Anxiety by Clayton Jennings. It's relatable to everyone. It is not music, it is spoken word but it is powerful. Or even if you don't react, listen to it. It will move you. Love your work.
I haven't been on RUclips for a while. My best friend passed away from complications with his diabetes. I've been trying to help his family. I'll try to catch up on your videos. 🥺
@@MentalAmanda We are having his celebration of life tomorrow night. His sister lives another state and is basically in charge of everything flew in and had him cremated and flown back to CA and they had a private funeral within a couple of days. No friends were invited. So, all of us here in Vegas are trying to do our own thing for him. It was wrong.

Making excuses for the bad behaviour of your significant other is what I went through for too many years. You look at me being a muscular, heavily tattooed Man you'd think I'd be the arsehole but my ex was like a yapping dog that pushed my family away until I decided to break that bond of marriage and move out from the person who I once loved but ended up seeing as a self important, manipulative horrid individual. I'm 52 now with a good relationship but can't trust enough to take that extra step. Marriage to me is sacred and only done once in life.

You should react to his acoustic version of this song. It hits different
Definitely give Fear by Blue October a listen, it's a tearjerker.

I believe in you and I am SO proud of the progress you're already making. Family trauma is a hard beast to battle, but not impossible. Keep fighting!

I love Blue October. Seen them perform live twice now and they're still my number 1 favorite concert I've ever been to.
had a joy of seeing them 3 times!! they are one of my favorite bands live!! Justin is a master of his class!! as is the whole band
Glad you gave Blue October a listen. If you would, please listen to "Hate Me" by them. It talks about telling someone to do whatever they need to do to move on with their life and be happy.

Honestly it got me thinking of some of my ex's in a possibly different way
Thanks for introducing this to me
Omg yessss great video keep it up from New Zealand
I've always been a fan of Justin Furstenfeld's lyrics and am hoping you get around to "Hate Me".
Such an amazing song!
Yes.
I am sorry to anyone I have hurt. My illness has hurt so many, including me. Not fair, but let's make something of this life. Never give up....for me. Loved this reaction, your cause, and Blue October. New subscriber, darren
thanks for the up-load Amanda
Blue October: Fear is a great motivational song. It really tugs on your heart stings and makes you feel at peace within yourself.
I hope you’re happy Amanda!!
Great song. It could definitely be looked at as a breakup song, but it was actually written to his daughter. Please do more Blue October.
There’s an 18 min or so mini movie to this video.
Blue October is an amazing group. If you ever get the chance to see them, GO!!!!
Great request William. A positive lyric song YEAH!!! We all need it these days. We can't build that perfect mate like this guy did, we have to take people as they are, flaws and all because we all have them. Thank you for bringing this one to us Amanda.
Inner Glow is a great song by Blue October I never hear anyone talking about, but it’s probably my favorite song by them.
This song reminds me of another Blue October song "Overweight." "I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry, but I'm happy that you're happy. This is no longer about me."
I love this song, so uplifting, all Blue October songs are amazing
Justin does an incredible acoustic version of this song. Can definitely feel the emotion more
I LOVE this song, this group, and your reactions. In any order. Much love!
I sent this song to the love of my life. She went through a lot and we eventually divorced. And no matter how much it hurts, I hope she's happy.
oh man this one brings me to tears because I can relate so closely to this song.
I love the Blue October song Hate Me. ! I can relate with it so much from my past. Having once been a addict while you're living that way you truly dont realize how much your actions hurt the people you love. You put them through so much that after a while you begin to think you're only worthy of their hate more than their love. But I am sure you will agree that Love is a powerful motivatation.
You really need to check out the songs "Fear" "the worry list" and "Stay"!!!
first of all ur insanely beautiful never forget that! second of all if if u don't do a reaction to this song u should give blue october all that we are a listen it's amazing oh and the live version of this song I Hope You're Happy he brings his family and friends on stage it's so emotional in a good way

It is so hard to hope that person who hurt you is happy.
It comes later in the healing process for sure.

Finally Blue October,,,,Fear is the most touching one he sings
This is my second Blue October reaction!
@@MentalAmanda I know, but Fear is a song that most of their fans relate to the lyrics most in. Thanks for doing the two songs so far.
My ex-fiance's family hates me because I taught her how to be independent and by helping her become independent, I took their controll over her away. Now she's happily married with three kids. She's also the only ex that I keep in touch with.

Leadership is a submission to duty, not a rise in power
U have to listen to FEAR,HOME,HATE ME,ANGELS IN EVERYTHING,THE END,WORRY LIST,18TH FLOOR BALCONY!
Great reaction!! Based on your description you wrote for this video please check out their song "Moving on" it is about growth from relationships, personal hardships, mental health honestly whatever it is that is holding you back. Please check it out 🙏
My favorite band, Saw them live
Well, paint me green and call me "Gumby" - I've only ever heard the accoustic version. There's a MUCH different vibe in this album version.
I think you should check out praying by Kesha. The lyrics really cut deep.
I love how you react an show people that our battles are not fought alone. I'd love you to react to Dear Anxiety by Clayton Jennings. It's relatable to everyone. It is not music, it is spoken word but it is powerful. Or even if you don't react, listen to it. It will move you. Love your work.
Please, more Blue October. Maybe, All That We Are, acoustic version?
Or Bleed Out acoustic version. Or Fear live.
Verry emotional. 💔
OH MY MY
How have you not done papa roach last resort or the fray how to save a live?
I haven't been on RUclips for a while. My best friend passed away from complications with his diabetes. I've been trying to help his family. I'll try to catch up on your videos. 🥺
I'm here if you need to talk.

Hi there new fan and a suicide survivor, love the content and your openess to us. I'd love for you to watch for your reaction to "Wristcutters: A Love Story" it's a film that really got me through my highschool life 10 years ago
go watch the short film for this. It will give you the feels.
Good relationships are truly great! Not sure if all would understand!
Spinning the truth around
You need to listen to the acoustic version
Think you may probably like "Beautiful Ones" by Poets of the Fall
This song is actually a companion song to Jump Rope
Which I did a reaction to as well! That's cool!
Making excuses for the bad behaviour of your significant other is what I went through for too many years. You look at me being a muscular, heavily tattooed Man you'd think I'd be the arsehole but my ex was like a yapping dog that pushed my family away until I decided to break that bond of marriage and move out from the person who I once loved but ended up seeing as a self important, manipulative horrid individual. I'm 52 now with a good relationship but can't trust enough to take that extra step. Marriage to me is sacred and only done once in life.
Worry list is MUCH MUCH MUCH better for a reaction video.
Love Blue October
I think you should react to "Fear" by Blue October.
Check out,
