    Justin I know you probably won't see this, but you have given ME the inspiration to motivate my SON to quit heroin. I asked him once "What is your biggest reason for running to heroin?" He replied "My fear of everything."

      ​@cheapskatepanic He is happily clean! He still has fear of what his future holds, but I told him "Son, God has spared your life for a reason- whatever you are meant to be will come to you. And guess what? Your future has been here the whole time, it's been patiently waiting for you to find it, but you could only see it when you turned to the right path. So stay open, meet the "real you," he's come back to us. I know you'll like him. We've missed him, we've cried for him, we prayed he'd live.
      He is YOU. Welcome to the world. And we are all here to help you, much better than you THOUGHT that evil heroin could. Because we will NEVER turn away from you. That's what love is. Dear God, you've given me back my real son!"

      ​@@christinaoleary3138 Thank you so much! We fought as a team together for 15 years, because honestly people don't realize when your child has become so heavily addicted, they've lost the ability to make the decision themselves, that the only way they'll stay clean is when THEY'RE READY. Lmao, as if my son, a heroin addict for 15 years will suddenly make such a decision. Whoever made that saying "You can't make them quit, they'll only quit when THEY are ready!" Really? So perhaps they'll make that decision when they od and die. Thev lesson is this: help you child, constantly make them admit when they're high, make them see how their addiction affects the whole family, tell your child he's regressed to a child's age because he's always high when he leaves the house, and we HAVE to follow him around to make sure he stays safe. A child has more common sense than he does because that's what heroin does to him. Doesn't that make you feel weird knowing I'm lurking somewhere in the distance because you're too high to have the capability to do the right things. Don't you realize we are all tired of praying that you'll come home later that night and you didn't die? And then you're so high you pass out on the sofa, but guess what? WE have to take turns watching you to make sure your heart is beating and you are able to breathe. Your welcome.
      I never turned my back on him, instead I never left him. When he became clean, he told me he never could've done it without me.

I left an abusive marriage in 2015 , we have kids so he is never going to go away but I’ve found my ground and stood it. this music has carried me through the anxiety , depression and hopelessness i felt . I was finally able to see them live last week. It was such an emotional experience for me , more than any one could ever understand. Thank you

    Hey. I'm Marley. I'm 12 years old and I am a week out of self harm and 5 months out of addiction of vaping, smoking, and alcohol. I grew up in an abusive house and was s*xually assaulted a lot of my life. God/whomever bless Blue October for making this song. My mom showed me this song and I'm so thankful for that. I showed my friend DJ this song because he is also going through stuff. Love you Blue October. 💙💙💙

      4:47 Marley, you are so brave and beautiful to admit at your young age the things that you have. I am so proud to be able to read this and wish that I had been that brave at 12, 40+ years ago. I have been extremely self destructive in my life because it mirrors your own. I am much older and still have so much to learn as you do. The one piece of advice I can offer/give someone your age that I can see a reflection of myself in is 1) every morning when you stand in front of the mirror you say to yourself “Marley if no one has told you today that they love you I love you” and hug yourself tightly 2) no matter what is wrong in your life, no matter the pain, past, horrific thoughts and situations, no matter how broken you may feel, every single day you have to put both feet on the ground and put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward in your life away from this part. You will never forget what happened however it does not create or define who you will become as an adult but it will always be there and a part of you. I am so sorry that you had to struggle and survive this at such a young age because I remember those horrible times and moments when I had no power or control or choices. But remember this kiddo, you are not just a survivor, like me you are a mother fucking warrior now and you must keep telling your story. You may be able to help another child or adult regardless if you know it or not. I will be keeping you and your mother in my prayers each and every day. Good luck with your future and keep going forward and never give up hope.

Almost lost my kids and everything, but after 40 years of doing things my way I gave up and gave it to God and got saved. Through Jesus, God restored me and then some. He’s a good God and didn’t die on a cross to make it hard. All the love and prayers your way!

      @Aithica 9 лет назад +5

      Sometimes dictionaries do a poor description of things involving the heart and soul. I've seen prayers that were just tears falling down people's faces.
      While I do believe in God, I don't like religion. Whatever"god" someone believes in, doesn't necessarily make them religious.
      Prayers are a spiritual thing, far above religion.

    • @TheLove2surf
      @TheLove2surf 9 лет назад +6

      Hayley... I am totally with you! I am slightly disturbed by the very negative anti-religious response that you received earlier. Religion and faith are all too often confused, and the word religion too often synonymous with corruption and politics, but speaking about people having a faith, or a belief system... that is their right and their choice and I personally respect people for their choice, and for having a belief system with which they used to guide their life. I am not a religious fanatic and never for a minute took your comment to be some sorta bible bashing... but I too can recognize the honesty, urgency and fervence in his voice, his face and his lyrics...and have the same understanding of 'prayer' as you do. But as an interesting aside point, something the 'haters' might find intriguing - Justin Furstenfeld actually does have a belief in God (see various youtube clips in which says 'God bless' and in reference to a sick friend 'we are praying for you") and references God twice in this very song, "Oh God just move on" and "Ask him to help you carry on" and watching interviews in which he talks about his getting clean and life change prior/during the writing of their last album 'Sway' (which includes this song) he again references his faith. So... let's just drop the anti-religion... there really is no need for it... RESPECT!

But this song has touched me like no other has for a very long time. Thank you for writing these beautiful words. I listen to this song over and over, tears sliding down my face, reminding myself, "Today, I don't have to fall apart. I don't have to be afraid. I don't have to let the damage consume me."

      Well, honestly, I don't get that from Justin... I keep getting that "YOU'RE your proof!" Kinda thing... Taking on this song and others as a cadence helped me keep in mind what Will Smith had to say during his retelling of his paradigm shift with "fear" and jumping out of a perfectly good airplane... There's certain people that have spoken/narrated some motivational stuff that I want to carry with me, slowly replacing all the heavy stuff I didn't CHOOSE to carry with me. (Yes, Linkin Park reference.) THIS song, home, calling you, and into the ocean have helped me grow past that self deprecation and justifying negative self-talk that was keeping me from being self compassionate... Guess I can give myself a chance these days?

    One of my favorite memories with my sister was at a Blue October concert, holding her hand and crying while we sang this song. She passed from her addiction and I still listen to this song and think about holding her hand. Blue October has gotten me through most of the pain in my life and they still do.

    The only band/man I've ever known who gives the same passionate singing in his videos as he does on stage. ....not the "pretty" lip syncing. But the "I'm screaming with all I have in my body until you can hear me through this screen" singing. I will never not respect that. And, I'm also in love with the revival in this song. It felt very true to him unlike a couple more recent tracks. "The same" but with growth. Which is the kind of "different" that maintains authenticity and integrity. And that's the most admirable transition a band/person can make. I love it. Moving song, video, person, band. Always.

    I rarely ever post comments about anything in regards to my life, but I have a very bad fear of driving long distances. My fiance lives 9 hours away and I finally made the decision to overcome that fear by making that drive. Not only did this song motivate me to do the drive, but on my drive home days later, I played this song again and it was invigorating. I felt insanely free, accomplished and so overly proud of myself. That "Get back up!" makes me cry like a baby everytime.

    PTSD fear is especially potent. That FEAR needs its own word. It’s been almost 2 years….. but
    I just faced my attacker. Did what needed to be done and as I walk/ran from the courthouse to my car the only thing in my mind was the word FEAR. The second the door closed I BURST. burst into tears. The burst must have had a shockwave because tears and fears and forms of energy I can’t name, all burst out of me at the same time.
    . Immediately pull up this video and ugly cry while my heart stitched together for the first time since almost 2 years ago.
    Thank you Justin.

It's a testament to our humanity, that even when things don't go right, we find ways to persevere and find light in the darkness."

    My uncle died yesterday, the day after his 61st birthday. Both he and his wife were hit by a car in a crosswalk. My uncle was the one who got me into music as a kid, and I always looked up to him. He showed me this music video at his house in 2017 and I'll never forget the experience. This song moved him deeply, and now I listen to it in tears. This song helps so much.

    One year ago, I came to this video and commented about how much I wanted the lyrics to be true for me, just like it is for Justin. At the time, I didn't actually believe or think that that was a possibility for me. I had completely given up on myself and the world, and any possibility of me getting any better, being happy.
    But here I am, one year later, and the things that I thought were so impossible, things that I never believed I'd have for myself, the things that Justin has, I now DO have. Something I so longed for and wanted I FINALLY have. I haven't been happy in years and now I finally am. I believe that things can change for me and get better. They've already started. And believe me when I say that this song has been a HUGE part of that healing. I'd listen to it so much and just want this.
    And now I have it.

      eskimo289 You'll get here one day! You just have to stay strong. I was diagnosed last summer with BPD (bipolar disorder) and it's been such a long, hard road. I spent five years being depressed, four of them suicidal, two years self-harming and one suicide attempt. I NEVER thought that I would ever be where I am now. I know how you're feeling now.
      All I can say is stay strong. Make goals for yourself and keep looking forward to them, making them possible. You absolutely can do this. I believe in you 100%. You'll have what Justin has, too

    • @AuditoryStorytelling
      @AuditoryStorytelling 8 лет назад +1

      BPD for me is Borderline Personality Disorder. Sometimes misdiagnosed as bipolar though. And I have depression too, obviously. But medication hasn't helped me with that. I am 30, and I've been this way since half-way through my teens. I've tried to grow and change so many things, I don't even know who I am... and I don't know if trying to change MORE is going to have any different results than it has been up to now. I feel hopeless and jealous that others have found things I can't. I wish I had the hope for me you do. I haven't given up, but man I don't feel any hope anymore. I want it all to just end.

    Looking back on their old stuff, THIS is how a band/front man should evolve, keeping things familiar but actually maturing as time goes on. Once upon a time Blue October sang about somber topics such as depression, divorce, suicide, and hatred now have a song about forgiveness, compassion, acceptance, perseverance and happiness. All of my respect goes to Justin Furstenfeld for not only allowing himself to walk down a better path, but also showing people out there that life doesn't always have to be about the bad things. Mad respect Justin, keep up all the fantastic work!

"interesting" is the only word I can find to observe the disposition and lyrics he has throughout his musical career in reflecting his own life. True role model. I do miss his "old look" - but I love his "new look". This is a man I wish I could meet - helped me out of a lot of dark places, this one.

I have a piece of art that reminds me of this song/scene hanging on my wall. "Get back up!" (Its just an old beautiful painting of an oceanfront with rock formations.Painted by a woman who was an art teacher.)

    Justin deserves respect and love irregardless of life's pains, struggles and hurdles that he gravitates. He's not a martyr, he's a saint. My friends that means no insensitivity or lack of empathy from those who found him under tough conditions. However he's rose like a Phoenix from the ashes.

    I'd never really listened to Blue October before... But this song came on the radio while I was on my way to the hospital to take my father off of Life Support. I can't even begin to explain how much of a source of strength this song has become for me. My father passed away last night at 7:13pm and I was humming this to myself as we waited for him to pass. Thank you.

      I'm sorry for your loss, I can relate. It's wonderful that you can find solace in this video, as I do too, and have to thank my Wife for turning me on to it! :)

      I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in December and find a lot of comfort in this song too. I hope you are doing ok. HUGS to you, my friend.

    The devil is a liar and uses fear as a tool. God is so good that He died on a cross just for you. Stand up and claim your birthright as a child of your Father. He will bring you out of the valley and place you on top of the highest mountain!

    Living with PTSD from a deadly relationship is something I have been coping with for 12 years. Going through everything from addiction to bad relationships, the music that Blue October creates is the most Beautiful Music to my soul. Thank You Justin and the band. I love you guys. ❤️🙏❤️

      I feel this, I struggle with the same. The worst struggle is that he abused my children also and I have tremendous guilt from being so blind to it.

      @@lalanianeal203 I am So Sorry you and your children ever went through that. It’s Not your fault though. It’s Not. I lost my son to adoption after the dad chose drugs and lost his job. He also chose to cheat on me again and again. We lost our apartment and I couldn’t find anyone to help me. Even organizations. So I made the best choice for my son and the most selfless choice. So don’t blame yourself. Because I’m betting that you did your best in this horrible relationship. God Bless You. ❤️🙏
