He sings the way he does because these are his life stories and things he is going through one of the greatest sing writers ever and so underrated it is sad Blue October should be 100 times bigger then they are
This song is devastating in such a beautiful way. I go through this every year as my two sons grow up 8 hours away from me after our divorce, every time I drop them off this song explains it completely. Justin and Blue October is 1 of 1.
I’ve been a Blue October fan since 2003 and I LOVE seeing how Justin’s music moves people. This song was written for his oldest daughter after he went though a very bitter and difficult divorce and custody battle. He has since remarried, has another daughter and son, and just within the last year or so, his eldest daughter now lives with him. If you enjoy this man and his stories/music as much as it seems you do, check out the documentary Get Back Up (available on Amazon Prime Video). You will be left sobbing and speechless. His life journey is AMAZING! Thanks again for this post.
The intro was a bit of Hate Me. His bandmates used that song as ammunition to get him to go to rehab. A line in Hate Me says "I'm sober now for 3 whole months. it's an accomplishment that you helped me with." and his bandmates told him that he gets up on stage and lies to his fans when he sings it. That is how he decided to go to rehab. Fear was writen while in rehab.
Every album is about the struggle he is going through at that time. He is absolutely amazing. Singer, songwriter, performer. He connects on another level with his fans and supporters. He is truly a beautiful soul!!! This band is so underrated!!
Wow! I got choked up watching you get choked up. It's great to watch reactions of people that enjoy the music as much as I do. They have so many good songs. I first heard of Blue October about 10 years ago on the alternative station listening to "Hate Me". I've been a fan since. Check out their side project, Harvard of the South.
I'm tired and twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark... A could've been. Don't be concerned, that's just the power of a breaking heart... How good am I hiding it? Look, I've got some bad intentions. Guilty as fucking charged. Still standing stable, more than able, cause I know who you are. I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed. I regret them all, but But now I know this; I know that God exists. I held her in my arms. I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong. Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way. I'm really fine and Mar' there's nothing we haven't talked about. So take me off your worry list, I said "Throw it away" Yeah, this is what my life is about. I might've been gone but I never walked out. I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view Of what kind of man would take the trust you break... and still follow through. Cause I'm standing right here and you may not show up. Our same gate 14 where honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff. And it's just embarrassing. I nearly threw up. While I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up. And at the top of my list, this visitation is no relationship. But I've got to make the best of it. Cause I know; I know that God exists. I held her in my arms. I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong. Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way. And I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around. Take me off your worry list, just throw it away. Well it's time to stand up on my own for her. Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm coming today. I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up. Everything is quiet and covered in snow. There's something wrong here... Nobody's at home. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Now, I'm back in the driver's seat. Heading back home. Yeah, back to Texas... On my own. Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way. I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around. Take me off your worry list, just throw it away. It's time to stand up on my own for her. I'm packing it up and I'm coming today. This is what my story's about, I might have been gone but I never walked out. I'm packing it up and I'm coming today. This is what your story's about. My pretty little girl, can you figure it out? If it helps to know so there is no doubt, Just listen to the stories. Not everything is glorious. Some hurt. Some love. Some shout. I fought the world and I lost that bout. And you are what my album's about. I might've been gone but I never walked out.
This song hit me. My parents separated when I was young but remained best friends. My dad is my best friend, the reason it hit me so crazy is because there are so many children that have parents that hate each other and it’s not them that lose but the kids. It’s pain by association, it’s brutal and unfair. Kids shouldn’t have to fight that war. I’m lucky and I’m grateful, parents… need to do better! ♥️✌🏼♥️
His voice. His lyrics. His passion. The first song that sucked me in was “All that we are”. I had that song on repeat and it brought tears to my eyes. I got to see them in concert Nov 2019. It was a small venue here in Canada. The energy that they had was epic. I was a couple rows from the front and Justin made eye contact. I waved, he waved. He blew me a kiss, I blew him one back. It was a time stopping moment. Lol
Ive been to one of his accoustic shows like this in houston and it was an experience. We laughed and we cried. If you ever have a chance to see him or the whole band live i promise you will never forget that night
I’m so happy you reacted to my request. This song is heartbreaking but you might be happy to know that he has since figured things out and he gets to see his daughter Blue all the time now. Give blue October a follow on insta and you can see him spending time with her a lot. He’s an amazing song writer and story teller.
Filipe, I am so enamoured by your reactions to Blue October and Justin's Music. I feel your heart felt reactions and emotions. I love watching your channel....You are one of a kind brother....keep doing these....
I love your raw emotional reaction's to such beautiful music..And that's one of the reasons I love you Fil and this family we are growing..! It's so inspirational to me . You bring so much joy to my hard life..! This song you feel every bit of it and I love it 🥰
I feel the entire world needs more of Justin and Blue October right now. Such a powerful, amazing talent that hits you in the soul. They have saved me from some very dark times.
Ooooh, ouch, ugly crying. 😭 I lost so many years with my dad, because after my parent's divorce my mom said my dad never wanted us (3 kids). That was a big fat lie that left so bad scars I've never wanted kids of my own. Luckily I'm really close to my dad nowadays. ❤ A great reaction! 👌🏻
Was crying with you ...so sad yet so incredibly beautifull full of emotion ..an I so love that you show us yours ..you are so very special thanku so much love and god bless x
Every time I hear this song at a concert, I bawl my eyes out!! This album came out at the same time as my own divorce and for a couple of years this was my go-to song when I felt overwhelmed.
Loved the reaction and your emotion. Thankfully Justin got custody of his daughter Blue last year she even sings on one of his new songs. Justin is the most incredible songwriters and performers alive.
I've watched your reaction more times that the actual song version...and all your Blue October reaction videos at least 100 times each. See the emotion he brings out of you makes me emotional if that makes sense. Thanks for all the work you put in and putting yourself out there man
I absolutely love people who can so deeply feel music. Your vulnerability watching this is absolutely beautiful! One of my favorite bands because he writes from his heart. Vulnerable men are so hot! lol ✌🏻❤️
The song in the intro was “Hate Me” also another killer song. His acoustics are amazing but nothing compares to a Blue October Show the violin rocking the house is beyond!!!
I love how your reaction respects the sentiment of Justin and his lyrics. You feel what I feel in this song. I feel this song was written for me and about my life and situation
I love your reactions to Blue October. I love this band and I wish more people knew just how amazing they are. You mentioned something about spoken word, check out Stay with Me from them. It's on their latest album release and it will blow you away!! ❤
Your reactions to music is how I react to music I love it you get it you hear it you feel it its such a blessing to hear music and not just listen to it .
Justin is just about my personal spiritual spokesperson. Every album has at least 1 song that relates to me. And all of his work is true to him and his life and humanity: born of the truths of his life and emotions.
Fable you have to understand that BO is not just a band but a family. A Nice video to Watch is ‘ moving on’. Hope you Will see it soon. Love youre reactions to there Music
I’m not sure if it was on here but you should react to Bleed Out Acoustic. It’s a song Justin does basically through the eyes of his wife. It’s fantastic and you can feel the emotion in the song and he expresses it so well basically for someone else.
Once I discovered Blue October, I was able to put away my Richard Simmons VHS, stop shaving my legs and focus solely on the power of Justin's words; the only thing the two have in common is the amount of onion ninjas in their employ... His daughter and mine even have the same name, so its like he is teaching me how to sing to my daughter too.
I forgot to add Fil.. if you really like his acoustic Versions of songs by Blue October. You really need to check out these two. It’s by Justin. The first video is kind of him explaining what led to the song Black Orchid. I would love to see you react to both one day. Here are the links ruclips.net/video/6bgfo1atB-I/видео.html Can and cannot stay ruclips.net/video/6fzeeuR_TvE/видео.html Black orchid
Just a toss out, you should do a react to the video by " Our Lady Peace " the song " Life " I think youd have a real good reaction to it, I know i did the first time I heard it. And or, anything Blue October live in Texas. Lol
I have always loved this song, but I completely lost my composure and ugly cried the first time I saw the actual video. Ugly, UGLY crying. Your reaction is dead on to what the Blue Family knows and loves about Justin. You have to get to a show if you haven't seen them live, it'll change your life. Look for him live on Tuesdays on IG and YT.
If you want another great under rated song by them: Blue October - Bleed Out ruclips.net/video/_JC7Wsp_3qI/видео.html He wrote it from his wife's point of view.

You don't just listen to Blue October, you feel Blue October 💙 my favorite group of musical humans ever.
He sings the way he does because these are his life stories and things he is going through one of the greatest sing writers ever and so underrated it is sad Blue October should be 100 times bigger then they are
You will never know the full breath of emotions until you see Blue October live. It is spiritual.
This song is devastating in such a beautiful way. I go through this every year as my two sons grow up 8 hours away from me after our divorce, every time I drop them off this song explains it completely. Justin and Blue October is 1 of 1.
Justin Furstenfeld is a real one! You can’t go wrong w/any Blue October song…”Hate Me” holds a special place in my heart!
Justin makes everyone cry. He is a beautiful soul. Deep, feeling, loving, caring and so much emotion. May God continue to bless him.
I’ve been a Blue October fan since 2003 and I LOVE seeing how Justin’s music moves people.
This song was written for his oldest daughter after he went though a very bitter and difficult divorce and custody battle. He has since remarried, has another daughter and son, and just within the last year or so, his eldest daughter now lives with him.

En Amazon Prime está la historia de Justin???
The intro was a bit of Hate Me. His bandmates used that song as ammunition to get him to go to rehab. A line in Hate Me says "I'm sober now for 3 whole months. it's an accomplishment that you helped me with." and his bandmates told him that he gets up on stage and lies to his fans when he sings it. That is how he decided to go to rehab. Fear was writen while in rehab.
My favorite reaction ever, honestly, because it mirrors the way I hear Blue October.
Every album is about the struggle he is going through at that time. He is absolutely amazing. Singer, songwriter, performer. He connects on another level with his fans and supporters. He is truly a beautiful soul!!! This band is so underrated!!
This was my first time hearing Blue October, 😢 WOW
There’s more!!
He puts his emotions in every song. They are my favorite band.
The best is being there live when he says “I got plenty of friends around” the whole crowd starts cheering. It’s such a special moment to be apart of.
They put out a doc within the last year or two. Definitely worth a watch.
I loved the documentary so much💙🌹💙It was great to hear about his childhood struggles that hit hard when Fame got ahold of him💙🙏💙
Wow! I got choked up watching you get choked up. It's great to watch reactions of people that enjoy the music as much as I do. They have so many good songs. I first heard of Blue October about 10 years ago on the alternative station listening to "Hate Me". I've been a fan since. Check out their side project, Harvard of the South.
I second Feel Again live from texas
I love your reactions to Blue October, I've watched them all 10x over. Like Justin singing his words, you feel it... and you can't fake that.
He was going through a divorce and custody battle on this whole album. The entire album is heart breaking and beautiful. I’ll put the lyrics below.
I'm tired and twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark...
A could've been.
Don't be concerned, that's just the power of a breaking heart...
How good am I hiding it?
Look, I've got some bad intentions. Guilty as fucking charged.
Still standing stable, more than able, cause I know who you are.
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.
I regret them all, but
But now I know this;
I know that God exists. I held her in my arms.
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.
I'm really fine and Mar' there's nothing we haven't talked about.
So take me off your worry list, I said "Throw it away"
Yeah, this is what my life is about.
I might've been gone but I never walked out.
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view
Of what kind of man would take the trust you break... and still follow through.
Cause I'm standing right here and you may not show up.
Our same gate 14 where honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff.
And it's just embarrassing. I nearly threw up.
While I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.
And at the top of my list, this visitation is no relationship.
But I've got to make the best of it.
Cause I know;
I know that God exists. I held her in my arms.
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.
And I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around.
Take me off your worry list, just throw it away.
Well it's time to stand up on my own for her.
Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm coming today.
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up.
Everything is quiet and covered in snow.
There's something wrong here... Nobody's at home.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.
Heading back home. Yeah, back to Texas... On my own.
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.
I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around.
Take me off your worry list, just throw it away.
It's time to stand up on my own for her.
I'm packing it up and I'm coming today.
This is what my story's about,
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
I'm packing it up and I'm coming today.
This is what your story's about.
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
If it helps to know so there is no doubt,
Just listen to the stories.
Not everything is glorious.
Some hurt. Some love. Some shout.
I fought the world and I lost that bout.
And you are what my album's about.
I might've been gone but I never walked out.
This album is still hands down my favorite
This song hit me. My parents separated when I was young but remained best friends.

I've seen them numerous times amazing every single time. Even saw Justin on his solo acoustic tour. Always amazing. Always.
Beautiful reaction!
Love! Would really like to see you react to Feel Again (Stay) from their Texas Live concert. It's freaking amazing!!
Justin Furstenfeld is the most transparent artist of all time...he bleeds the words & music in every performance 🤟
I warned you awhile ago to grab a box of tissues. Such an emotional song. It kills me every time. Great reaction man. Keep it up! ❤️😊
Justin sings songs that speak for us💙
Ive been to one of his accoustic shows like this in houston and it was an experience. We laughed and we cried. If you ever have a chance to see him or the whole band live i promise you will never forget that night

The song in the intro was “Hate Me” also another killer song. His acoustics are amazing but nothing compares to a Blue October Show the violin rocking the house is beyond!!!
So very beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I hope his daughter never doubts his absolute love for her.
I love how your reaction respects the sentiment of Justin and his lyrics. You feel what I feel in this song. I feel this song was written for me and about my life and situation
haha you are the absolute best to watch with these amazing reaction videos...this one was just beautiful man...love that you love blue october

The song that he was singing before worry list startet is called Hate me. My favorite song
Justin F*cking Ferstenfeld is my literal spirit animal. Stoked to see more people finding Blue.
Long time bro.. how you doing? How things on your end? We need to do a catch up interview at some point ☺️☺️
Glad Frank had the words of the song. Real life song. Real feeling.
So very very beautiful, Fil!!!
Thanks!
Stop hiding your feelings brother it's ok to cry. That means you have an amazing heart.
I'm glad you did this one. Been a Blue fan since 97. But Justin is not crazy. He's just very enthusiastic. ❤
Thanks for playing this song.
Justin did right by Blue as well as Sadie and Gunner. :-)
Definitely check out i hope your happy
In tears! Lovely.
I’m not sure if it was on here but you should react to Bleed Out Acoustic. It’s a song Justin does basically through the eyes of his wife. It’s fantastic and you can feel the emotion in the song and he expresses it so well basically for someone else.
Ooow we haven't done them in a minute...😁
Amazing reaction! Please react to The Feel Again from the Things We Do At Night live performance! Its incredible! Absolutely amazing!
It also goes along with the Worry List too
Blue October is great!!!
I love this guy!
Omg Fil...We did it !!! 40K ahhh 😲 Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
The intro was from the song “hate me” that you need to listen to
Once I discovered Blue October, I was able to put away my Richard Simmons VHS, stop shaving my legs and focus solely on the power of Justin's words; the only thing the two have in common is the amount of onion ninjas in their employ... His daughter and mine even have the same name, so its like he is teaching me how to sing to my daughter too.
Great to see you uploading regularly, just a reminder, Nightwish: Planet Hell (Live) 😉
nice to see you real bro.
Exactly.
He actually got custody of his daughter who is i belive 13 now. There are videos of them singing together ❤
How are you listening to Blue October for the first time.... even in Portugal they have fans at least since 2003....😂
Also, watch the Worry List video, then, go find the video of him and his daughter singing Fight For Love together!
I forgot to add Fil.. if you really like his acoustic Versions of songs by Blue October. You really need to check out these two. It’s by Justin. The first video is kind of him explaining what led to the song Black Orchid. I would love to see you react to both one day. Here are the links

Try blue october "Say it" or "breakfast after ten "
Just a suggestion, I think you would really like " Our Lady Peace, song Life " beautiful song and video. Ty
I have always loved this song, but I completely lost my composure and ugly cried the first time I saw the actual video. Ugly, UGLY crying. Your reaction is dead on to what the Blue Family knows and loves about Justin. You have to get to a show if you haven't seen them live, it'll change your life.
