This band has helped me through being homeless, divorced, depression and so much more. One day I will see them live. It does get better y’all. Takes time but time heals.
Time is the answer to everything sister I'm with what I believe is my soul mate and we are taking our time not rushing things and it helps I mean this song helps me though alot
This dudes song “fear” saved my life, made me start listening to music again and get up after almost 3 years of bone crushing darkness, thank you Justin, I owe you my life brother
@ April and Wonder Woman, you are both beautiful, an amazing and unique, there is no one else like you and never will be. Chins up, we got this!! ❤️❤️❤️
Between this song & reading the comments I am in tears. I pray you all are doing well and if you are still struggling, please know...you are NOT alone & you are loved!!!! ❤️🙏🏼
I'm with you in your comment, your struggle, and the will you had to understand the lyrics. Be proud of yourself that you did. I am for myself. God is real and works through many different prisms to achieve what he wants for us all. This band whether they realize it or not works under his guidance and wisdom.
I don't think I will ever get to that point. I don't think I ever want to. The feelings of loss, guilt and shame are the only things left that I got from an amazing woman who loved me. A woman who, in my fits of inner rage, fear and shame, cast aside like trash. A woman who had an inner grace, fierce love and care that frightened me. I can blame my depression and complex PTSD, but in the end, part of me chose to do these things. I will always love her. I also know that I will never see her again. I know that I pushed her into the arms of someone else. It only took me over a decade to come to that realization. A decade too late. I would give my life to be able to spend one more day with her.
TRUE that! Never loved me anyone .. ever ! Am i not worth something I think so im not broken and still no one ever loved .me like I did them I've been beat battered paper robbed held hostage .. now I've done time seen heaven hell and even wrote a book once ... Unpublished of course but true story ! I'm not broken can anyone ever be able to love me the way I need and should love me ... I deserve it
75 days sober and I'm starting to love myself as well as life, after 43 years. I've had everything but nothing made me happy, so I lot it all to my demons. I'm proud to say I'm getting everything back slowly, but more importantly, I don't feel.im broken anymore. Shout out to none battling addiction and those living that sober life. Keep going.
I'm bipolar, and I struggle everyday physically and mentally. For 10 years now, I've been fighting the urge to end it all. In one of my darkest moments, a woman that I barely knew introduced me to Blue October, and I want to give him a big hug for giving me so much hope that a man with the same disorder can say such profound things with such beautiful music. Thank you so much Blue October, and may 2018 bring blessings for all of us.
RECEIVE THY HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU GO LIKE LAMB'S AMONG WOLVES MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATION'S TEACH them the GOSPEL And KEEP The COMMANDMENTS that I Gave You . Baptise them in THY Name Of MY FATHER THY SON AND THY HOLY GHOST AND BE NOT AFRAID FOR I AM THY LORD THOU ONE TRUE GOD I AM With You Every day Until the End Of time ❇
FATHER I thank You for hearing My Prayer Now those that Stand Around Me May believe That I AM the Resurrection And the Life And those Who believe in Me Shall Never die ❇
Christ is the Answer...I'm sure you have heard this many times...but those many times and those whispers are from God...not those whispers telling you to hurt yourself. This is coming from an alcoholic, PTSD, suicide ridden ex-soldier. I kept looking at everything through the 'worlds' eyes. I listened to a preacher once who said learn to 'fear' the lord?....then he said, "to fear the Lord is to gain Knowledge". Not fear like Demons but like respect/fear for your father. I gave Jesus a chance and he softened my guilt ridden heart. Jesus' last words was "ABBA/Father, It is finished". Once you give your life to him, it is finished. Your sins, your guilt, your unworthiness, is washed away. No other religion can do this. I pray for you and God Bless.
Blue October I really hope y'all know how important you are to so many of us. How years after you release songs they still are out there saving lives while we struggle with our battles. I never imagined I'd make it to 18 let alone 31. This song will be played at my wedding ♥️
Sometimes a tune can hit you right in the heart, sometimes the words hit you right in the mind, put them together and you have Justin who can tear apart every emotion you have locked away.
Blue october has helped and been there through all the meth addiction and alcoholism now I'm sober and owe one of my thanks to them thank you justin❤ my baby girl and you helped me through all the hell storms in my life I thank god theres people like you
This song is an incredible story of being set free. I see this song as a letter of salvation. Years ago, I fell in love with this band but felt a deep sense that the lead singer (Justin) has such a high calling on his life and an incredible testimony. I prayed for him then and I am praising God now for the transformation that seems to have taken place. PTL!
Im glad you've found a sense of religion all I've found is well life that seems to kick my ass lost the woman i loved to suicide lost my best freind like a brother to a fatal car crash and lost my father figure to natural causes i guess you could call it natural but all that happened in a very short time span im 17 i lost my father figure at 8 lost my best freind at 11 and i lost the woman i fell for at age 15 and not to add all my other issue's but I've prayed for forgiveness and relief I've cried myself to sleep I've felt and almost tasted death and all i felt was cold dark nothingness all I'll say is what god would let this happen? And before anyone says at 15 i was too young to understand love if evrerytime you see the person you love makes your heart sink and skip a beat that everytime you saw them cry or there scars made your world absolutely crash just wishing that you could just make there pain stop that youd give your life to save theres and you'd sell your mortal soul just to make them smile a true smile then i dont know what love is
Yes, yes He IS!! And I thank Him for restoring you, making you into someone who is a trophy to His love and grace! Stay close to Him, my friend... Like a life raft in raging waters!
The fuck you make this a jesus song or related to your shiity religion. God isn't real. Jesus was a Spaniard, complete turd. Open your eyes you dumb twats.
Today is the first time I've heard this song. I can honestly say, I'm in tears. I've had horrific relationships in the past but now I'm with the most beautiful, wonderful woman. She loves me unconditionally. I'm blessed to be with her. Thank you Blue October.
Ive had a crush on my boyfriend for 5 years an were finally together and like hes already proving himself to be my person. Ive never been that girl to want to be around my boyfriend allll the time every day and i do now. ..and this is totally my song to him.
You literally came into my life at such an important time. I've beat drug addiction, nicotine addiction and now I'm facing alcoholism. March first I'm giving it up, fighting it on my own and your music is going to keep me inspired! Thank you so much! So glad your music found me! God Bless!
Ama Lu I quit drinking for two years and it was probably the worst two years of my life lol, not because I missed the alcohol, I got bored all the time and when Covid hit and being on lockdown I started back. I only drink beer but I drink 5 to 6 days a week. The worst part was after a year of sobriety I went into organ failure 😨, 9 surgeries, ecoli, sepsis, septic shock, shingles, gallbladder removed, biopsies, 14 bleeding ulcers, and contracting Covid while hospitalized, drinking doesn’t feel so wrong lol. Good luck to you and your sobriety Ama I hope you achieve what you desire.
Also Amu if you are trying to heal look into a medicinal dose of magic mushrooms helps with addiction and just overall well-being do your own research of course I’m not a dr but it helped me.
I lost my best friend and love of my life to meth, alcohol and sexual addiction. I tried to stand by him but it was too painful to watch him destroy himself and our love. I pray that one day he will see the light and the Lord will set him free from the chains of addiction. This song makes me so sad because I waited and prayed for the miracle of his recovery.
Desert N my husband is alcoholic. He is obviously sick, jaundiced and won't get help, even though he knows he needs it. It's not fair to be put in the position of being told they dont want you to go yet we have to see them kill themselves slowly. I don't know how much more I can take. Love and keeping him "safe" has not been enough
@@e4mafia8283 Forcing you to watch him kill himself slowly may not be a gut punch or a kick to the head but it definitely causes you a lot more pain now and then far into the future with possibly ever lasting damage. If you leave him, or kick him out would he stop then ? Because sometimes when nothing you've done has helped that person see the light, and voluntarily go and get help to stop - then all you have left to take away from him, to try to get him to stop before it's too late, is yourself. Is it possible that you're in some way enabling his addiction, such as making excuses for him to employers, family or children, or somehow shielding him from the bad consequences of the addiction ,what it is doing to him ? Are you financially supporting his habit and he's not? If you are making it easy for him not to change, you can be unknowingly contributing to him never reaching that point of getting help, especially if you buy his food, alcohol or otherwise help him do what he is doing, even driving him to the liquor store. I'm not judging you or blaming you because I've been there and I know how slowly the process goes when you are the spouse of someone who is addicted to anything, and how often the spouse can be the last one to know they've got a serious problem and can not stop. I know how easily, progressively we fall into habits that are not helping them, or us, as an addiction progresses. I'm just asking these things to maybe have you think about your options differently. You can always draw the line, as far as you are concerned in being forced to keep watching him kill himself, you can tell him to get real help to stop or to get out or that you are leaving if he won't, because you will not sit and be witness to his slow suicide anymore. Maybe the only thing you can use to pressure him to get help is to remove yourself from his life. Because if he dies (and he will if he is jaundiced already... My niece died at 43 from liver failure, she was diagnosed and 8 weeks later she died leaving 5 small kids behind her with no father present in their lives either, and she had been sober for over 10 years. Just less than a year of relapse drinking killed her.) as I was saying IF he dies and you have not tried this tough measure to wake him up to seek help, you will suffer so much regret, guilty feelings and grief long after he is gone from here. If you have children together you'll also suffer more than you can know seeing them lose him for the rest of their lives. So, a word of advice from one who's husband died in his sleep at 49 years of age in 2010, largely due to drug abuse....do everything you can to get him help. Start going to Al Anon meetings in your area if you don't do anything else different, because that will help you begin to see what it's been doing to you and others who love him and help you make better decisions now to help all of you.
Ive watched my guy of 15 years destroy himself with alcohol and dabs. I used to smoke and party. Now i have a new fiance and idk what to do, i drink and smoke more. Random drunken reaching out?
+Jason Maynard Hopefully you'll ignore that utter cockwomble (mikeisatool2012) and live a long and happy life. Well done for kicking the addiction, keep it up.
+mikeisagodd2012 wow another immature person who doesn't know the struggles of addiction. people like you make me laugh cause of the pure ignorance and stupidity. I wonder if when you go to sleep at night you think about how you're gonna be a total ass hat. Now I'm not gonna clam I know what addiction is like because I don't I've never been an addict but I know it's hard so before you post something like this on the internet why don't you think about what other people go through and how some people may not be as "perfect" as you are, even though you're nothing more than a piece of gum on the bottom of someone's shoe you fucking cunt for brains.
This band has gotten me through so much. I battle CPTSD everyday from the several instances of abuse I went through over the years, and honestly, if it wasn't for this band I would be dead by now by my own hand. This is beyond my favorite band. Always has been and always will be. I hope I can someday see them in person.
want to dedicate to my brother rudy, , who rescued me from the life that was killing me. if he could only understand how much this song resonates too him. I'm clean 14 years, so proud of myself wish he could be too
The lyric's to this beautiful song certainly tell my story of where I was 30 years ago this month addicted to meth and how my life turned around when I gave it all back to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "Not Broken Anymore" certainly is an anthem song for all that finally decide to let Jesus who is real, who can heal and allow each one of us to become "Not Broken Anymore"! Thank You Justin and Blue October for this inspiring song that will touch the lives of so many broken souls!
+Charles R Painter Jr Hope you're still hanging in there man, We're always blessed to be alive, to be strong enough to find it deep down to change the things that hold us back, and to always keep moving forward. Real change is always possible if we truly have our mind made up. We gotta be there for the people who need us NOW. That's what matters.
This song is so beautiful. It's like these guys looked at me and have written their music after my life. It's even evolved as I grew older. This song tells a story that's so much like my own with my girl. Wow. Thanks guys. Thanks for being so relatable.
This song is not about letting go. It’s about an un-breakable love. About breaking through barriers in love and relationships. It’s about finding the one true love that one finally finds. It’s a healing. It’s a beautiful love.
Thank you Blue October, your songs have helped me through my most difficult moments, being a teenager, becoming a mom, and now when I feel the most hopeless. From the bottom of my hear thank you, for your beautiful and meaningful words.
laura herrera ive been in a deep depression since i was 13(28 now) when i was 17 i saw hate me on mtv. since then i have listened to blue october every day. im still in a much wore state now..but this band helps.
laura herrera if at any time you ever feel like youre doing better, hold on to that. you will eventually be able to dig yourself out. im to the point where i never feel better. its pretty much too late for me.
Blue October singer, has a gifted voice and is very talented with expressing feelings of love through his music! A beautiful song; "Not Broken Anymore!" 💜
I dedicate this song to my big brother, I love you and please know you are not broken anymore...WE are not broken anymore...I love you and we can fight these demons together 🤝🙏👊
Mental health and the stigma attached to it need no introduction to the people who carry the burden. Some people carry the burden, keep it from others. I have decided to publish (in book form) some inspirational tales from such people. I am collecting stories (single pager) from people who have suffered in the worst possible ways from depression and have tried to commit (or thought of) suicide. They can share their suicide notes, the story of how they have battled their way out and survived and ending with a smiling (inspirational) picture of theirs. Currently, I am looking to connect with people who’re willing to contribute to this project! If you’re interested, please get in touch!!
He's singing this song to himself, in a sober state he can see all the people he has hurt. This isn't a love song it's a song about him getting right with himself. I can relate to that.
+4evertwizted100 It is most definitely a love song. Quoted here : Furstenfeld considers this emotional ballad to be the most personal tune on Sway. "That's the first song I attempted to tackle when I found this new way of life," he told Radio.com. "It means so much to me because I wrote it for my wife, what she did for me and all the things she empowered me with."
+John Kiser ~ +4evertwitzed100 ~ WHAT A Precious HONOR to Read such respectable quotes and comebacks. Thank you both......that's how it's supposed to be, RESPECT for your fellow man or woman on Social media. Have a wonderful day & Long Life !!!✌
I understand the prayer behind the song.. and I shed a tear for those who don't understand.. and pray that your message is heard.. thank you wholeheartedly. -Detroit Ashley Michele Soprano ☆
I am Broken now .. Tracy you left me way to soon my dear friend. But thank you for sending me this song when you were emotionally healed. Now I cry to it. RIP my dear friend.
This is one that brings me to tears EVERYTIME. I feel his words, his pain, his doubts and his reaching out for relief. If you've ever felt a pain so deep and felt real hopelessness for even only a moment, you will love this song. It's as if I wrote them myself. God bless you for your amazing talent to be able to reach so many lost souls looking for answers....
Left the military and developed numerous anxiety issues, depression, alcohol addiction, etc. It took a long time for me for forgive myself for some of the things I'd done to myself and to others. God healed me, my now-wife healed me, my family healed me. And thanks to them, I finally was able to kick habits that were killing me, move on, and forgive myself after years of being in pain. This song stands as an honest triumph for all who have made it through to see the other side as well as those who are on their way. Thank you, Blue.
Saw Blue some years ago. amazing show. This song alone, made me realize how lucky I was, with my honey, after 17-18 yrs of being in a semi-toxic relationship years past. Blue's music.. regardless of circumstances..., just wow. if you get a chance to go see them, GO GO GO. still one of the most underrated bands out there, and one of my favorites, till this day! I will add my thanks to Blue for their music. NOT BROKEN anymore after alcohol abuse, depression and everything else that my ex-gf and mother of my 2 kids put me through.
I spent my life looking for the rest of me and when I finally found her I couldn't keep her. Together we were pure magic. We fit together as if we were made together. And everyone felt it when they were around us. But because we couldn't drop our vices it tore us apart and I dont ever expect to feel whole again. We are both broken and devastated because we cant be together. It's just not fair...we finally found each other. I'll always love you Phoebe. You mean more to me than you'll ever know. Bye baby
Youve found you inner peace....your music reflects your most sacred emotion and thats what I love about your music. Merry Christmas to you and your family......
This song relates to me when I was struggling with depression bad and my father wasn’t helping out with my situation. And how when I finally got through my depression and had to cut my dad out of my life and I found myself again in the lord and in Jesus.
I'm sitting here in the hospital taking my 3rd chemo treatment. I'm looking around the room at all the other patients who are doing the same thing I'm doing except I have my headphones on. Listening to the song "fear" I realized I'm not as alone in this fight as I was feeling not five mins ago. It's overwhelming knowing cancer takes no prisoners but the songs that Justin Furstenfield sing bring tears to even the smallest soul in a tiny TX town hospital.
After having to say goodbye to my mom almost 1 year ago, this band has helped me move on & try to be happy again.. wishing someone you love to become sober again isn’t easy but I tried, I tried so hard but I got tired after 3 years of the same abuse.
I love hard but I can love from a distance with no problem. ❤ I had to do it with my family. Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister..total dysfunctional dynamic..mother narcissistic and very abusive but just to me. Took my entire family from me. Many years and I had to live them from distance. Took many memories from me and them. 😢
to my brother who died at the age of 35 who was my world the other half of me the only one like me now i am alone in this world without him. but im not sad i will not cry. i will remember you. so jason if you are looking down on me i love you
and thank you blue October for your music i feel when i play it on the piano i think of him all the beautiful moments we shared in our 33 years together
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago, and oh, how I needed to hear it! Only a person who has "seen the empty deep," crawled through its hell, climbed the vertical walls of its abyss, and lived to reach the crest to view the dawn of a new day, could write this beautiful, melodic piece. Thank you, #BlueOctober, for sharing a part of your soul to let those of us who are still struggling to climb, know that heaven and healing are waiting for us at the top. #Ihopeyourehappy. 😊
I'm sure she does, truly. Women know when someone loves them sweetie. My son is going through this same thing. This song makes me cry because of this pain...weird though, SHE let's her guard down then puts it up again, and it's just destroying my son.
eric hall man I'm right there with you! I absolutely know the feels man. Brother these times hurts, and when, like in my position, left to hang while she chooses someone else, someone you know isn't capable of loving you the way you love her, it's damn painful! I just got out of a 5 year relationship, wasn't ready for anything and this one came in like a tidal wave! I didn't want to, I didn't want to love, I didn't want to hurt her, but she captivated me! She took nothing but gave me everything I wanted, only to be told a few months later, she had started seeing someone. That hurt more than a 5 year ending.
Unlike most bands from my childhood, Blue October had the least change, they are one of the only ones who didn't change or only slightly changed their sound. They are still my favorite band..
honestly after the hell I've been though seen, I feel comfortable with it. I've been at the top of the mountain, I've been in hell. im still trying crawl out. but i will never quit. i wish i had someone not to fix me not to take care of me, just to understand
That person will come into your life so unexpectedly, it's true. Quotes and sayings amaze me, how else would they have ever become so popular if it wasn't true???
I flew to FL to see a friend. I was broken, and the life was gone in my eyes. I knew this might have been my last chance to get it together. I laid in a room next the beach for 5days with the air as low as it could go. I was detoxing, but honestly I was also close to death. I had this on repeat, as my body type me apart from the inside out. I screamed, cried, and wanted to just lay out all down. This guy helped me get through it. . When I returned home, and walked through the door my mother started crying. Her words were "I can see you" " I haven't seen my son in years, and I can see the life in your eyes." It about broke my heart. I didn't realize the strain I had put on others, as I was trying to battle my own problems. It wasn't just my life I was messing up. It was those around me as well. Blue October helped me get through one of my darkest hours. I'm thankful for Justin, and his music.
What a beautiful piece of art! Gives me shivers. Amazing talent! "But I can't stop thinking How you just keep making sense Of all that was broken before" Powerful lyrics there!
Standing next to me, oh the person i can be!!!! I love this song. So many songs have helped heal me and get back control. I no longer am controled by my anxiety or panic attack disorders! I control them!
11 years sober here and dual dx (bipolar)... bawling my eyes out because this song so perfectly encapsulates what it feels like when you find God (hp, Whatevs) and recover from an addiction. I used to be a huge fan before I got sober and haven't listened to their last few albums yet. I definitely will now! If you're here and feeling down or hopeless, I care and I understand. And it CAN get better. I used to go to bed and pray I don't wake up. It has been a long time since I have felt that way.
Everytime I hear this song, I always look at her and it brings tears to my eyes. I dedicated this song to her. Hopeful one day we will dance to this at our wedding. Thank you for this song.
My relationship with my wife of almost 18# years that I just left less than two months ago because I just couldn't trust her anymore. This song really helped me get through the day's. Thank you Justin.
God is so amazing!!!! i feel every bit of the Holy Spirit in Justin even though he may not openly speak about Jesus in this song. I'm so happy that life has turned around for him. You're my homie Justin, maybe we can work together with some music some day. until then, God bless bro!!! 💘
My 15 yr old son came from his room, said, "MOM! I just stumbled across this song!!" I hope my 18yr really listens 2 this INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL song & truly takes heed. He's losing everything good in his life. Pride can be so damaging. I am the ONLY 1 who has fought4 him all his life! I HAD2 let him go. I just wonder..since I have been the ONLY "constant" in his life, can he really do the same? I'm so thankful for such a BEAUTIFUL song. EVERY1 needs 2 hear this!! It can mean SO much 2 So MANY!! As a mother who's lost a child @ 36mths old. I KNOW what Broken is! I pray my Bracken is safe. TY Blue Oct 4 another awesome & moving song!!
I still listen to this no matter how many other great songs they have, this one I keep coming too. I hope that I can someday find the peace that I look for and say that I am not broken anymore!
I first heard this at a catering gig for Justin's cousin's wedding. It was just him and the guitar. He really loved our Bar B Que. He was so embracing while we watched his cousin get into the SUV that had sand art of the newlyweds. It began to rain so hard the art washed off. As they drove away. But nothing was ruined. Everyone arrived and left in good spirits. Thank you Justin
I love your songs!! I feel like I'm not the only one that feels from lost to happy!! loved both concerts and I am thankful you're back!! Keep making beautiful music!
I am going to rehab for alcohol, tomorrow and I am terrifiied. I have officially broken my mom by all the anger, taking, and the limit I pushed my old mom to. And when I complete this year treatment, and I get some sobriety under my belt i am dedicating this song and fear by Blue October to her. Im gonna make you proud mom.
Only love is real. I am love, I am loved, I am loving. I embrace change. Change is beautiful. Change is exciting. Change brings happiness and joy. Change is powerful. I welcome change in my life. I am happy with the changes that are happening. I love myself. I love how beautiful I am when I am transforming. When I feel resistance I let it go. I no longer resist change. Change is growth. I love to grow. When I think of change I think of growth. Growth isn’t scary. Growth is beautiful! Just like a caterpillar goes through changes. So do we. The caterpillar trusts itself to know what it needs while it is going through these changes. Trust that you know too. A caterpillar does not resist the changes that are happening to it. It trusts the process. You can trust the process too. A caterpillar doesn’t need reassurance from others that it is on the right track. It believes in itself. You can believe in yourself too. A caterpillar knows that it needs to nurture and care for itself during this time of great transformation. You need to take time to love and support your growth too. Ask yourself, What does my body need today? Is it rest? Time with those you love? Time in nature? Good healthy food? When we are in flow with the changes that are happening we can support them and feel good about them. When we are in resistance we cling to fear, the old ways, and what once was. Choose to accept. Choose to love who you’re becoming. One day you will look back in amazement at how far you have come. Today is one of those days. Stop and look at how far you have come. You are transforming. You were once that little eggs on a leaf. Now look at you!! You’re all so beautiful. I can see you now. You’re ready to embrace the change and accept LOVE. You are love. You are loved. You are loving. May you all feel the warmth and joy inside you today as your spirit cheers you on. You can do it! You are amazing! Wow, you are so brave!! May the love, light, and peace be with you all today. 💜💖💛
I know how to let you leave How am I suppose to let you go? Now you stand in front of me And all the rain is turning into snow Can you tell me that you're real So I can really know That everything I feel I can finally show Standing next to me oh the person I can be Is finally here and he won't back down at all But I can't stop thinking How you just keep making Sense of all that was broken before And I won't keep faking 'Cause I'm done with taking 'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore I've seen the empty deep I've damned up the water flow You're the touchstone my complete You're the ship that kept me afloat Can you tell me that you're real So I can really know That everything I feel I can finally show Standing next to me oh the person I can be Is finally here and he won't back down at all But I can't stop thinking How you just keep making Sense of all that was broken before And I won't keep faking 'Cause I'm done with taking 'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore But I can't stop thinking How you just keep making Sense of all that was broken before And I won't keep faking 'Cause I'm done with all the taking 'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore And I can't stop thinking How you just keep making Sense of all that was broken before Yeah and I won't keep faking 'Cause I'm done with taking 'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore I'm not broken anymore
Someone very special to me introduced me to more of Blue October than I had heard before. I think of her every time I hear this song- because this is how I felt with her. My world came down when we parted ways. It’s been a couple of years but I’m still not over it. I miss you so much Julie.

This band has helped me through being homeless, divorced, depression and so much more. One day I will see them live. It does get better y’all. Takes time but time heals.
Amen
Time is the answer to everything sister I'm with what I believe is my soul mate and we are taking our time not rushing things and it helps I mean this song helps me though alot

This dudes song “fear” saved my life, made me start listening to music again and get up after almost 3 years of bone crushing darkness, thank you Justin, I owe you my life brother
Yes!!! Same thing happened here! Much love to you!
yep same with all their songs for me, and I am only 16
Just realized I missed the live streaming of the documentary SMH
@ April and Wonder Woman, you are both beautiful, an amazing and unique, there is no one else like you and never will be. Chins up, we got this!! ❤️❤️❤️

Between this song & reading the comments I am in tears. I pray you all are doing well and if you are still struggling, please know...you are NOT alone & you are loved!!!! ❤️🙏🏼
❤

I've been listening to Blue October for 15ish years and have never found a better band lyrically....not to mention they saved my life
I'm with you in your comment, your struggle, and the will you had to understand the lyrics. Be proud of yourself that you did. I am for myself. God is real and works through many different prisms to achieve what he wants for us all. This band whether they realize it or not works under his guidance and wisdom.
@Shanna Bradford stay strong
I actually found another band that reminds me a lot of Blue October. It's called Citizen Soldier. Both bands saved my life

"If you're strong enough to love someone more than you love yourself, you're strong enough to let them go as well."

I don't think I will ever get to that point. I don't think I ever want to. The feelings of loss, guilt and shame are the only things left that I got from an amazing woman who loved me. A woman who, in my fits of inner rage, fear and shame, cast aside like trash. A woman who had an inner grace, fierce love and care that frightened me. I can blame my depression and complex PTSD, but in the end, part of me chose to do these things.
I will always love her. I also know that I will never see her again. I know that I pushed her into the arms of someone else.
It only took me over a decade to come to that realization. A decade too late.
I would give my life to be able to spend one more day with her.
Not even buddy...
Never
Never loved myself before , so
TRUE that! Never loved me anyone .. ever ! Am i not worth something I think so im not broken and still no one ever loved .me like I did them I've been beat battered paper robbed held hostage .. now I've done time seen heaven hell and even wrote a book once ... Unpublished of course but true story ! I'm not broken can anyone ever be able to love me the way I need and should love me ... I deserve it
75 days sober and I'm starting to love myself as well as life, after 43 years. I've had everything but nothing made me happy, so I lot it all to my demons. I'm proud to say I'm getting everything back slowly, but more importantly, I don't feel.im broken anymore. Shout out to none battling addiction and those living that sober life. Keep going.
I hope all is well
You got this.
🙏❤️
Stay strong my friend.
@@gibsalisbury thank you. Still sober and going on 18 months
I'm bipolar, and I struggle everyday physically and mentally. For 10 years now, I've been fighting the urge to end it all. In one of my darkest moments, a woman that I barely knew introduced me to Blue October, and I want to give him a big hug for giving me so much hope that a man with the same disorder can say such profound things with such beautiful music.
Thank you so much Blue October, and may 2018 bring blessings for all of us.
RECEIVE THY HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU
GO LIKE LAMB'S AMONG WOLVES
MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATION'S
TEACH them the GOSPEL And KEEP
The COMMANDMENTS that I Gave You .
Baptise them in THY Name Of MY FATHER
THY SON AND THY HOLY GHOST
AND BE NOT AFRAID
FOR I AM THY LORD THOU ONE TRUE GOD
I AM With You Every day Until the End Of time ❇
FATHER I thank You for hearing My Prayer
Now those that Stand Around Me May believe
That I AM the Resurrection And the Life
And those Who believe in Me Shall Never die ❇
Christ is the Answer...I'm sure you have heard this many times...but those many times and those whispers are from God...not those whispers telling you to hurt yourself. This is coming from an alcoholic, PTSD, suicide ridden ex-soldier. I kept looking at everything through the 'worlds' eyes. I listened to a preacher once who said learn to 'fear' the lord?....then he said, "to fear the Lord is to gain Knowledge". Not fear like Demons but like respect/fear for your father. I gave Jesus a chance and he softened my guilt ridden heart. Jesus' last words was "ABBA/Father, It is finished". Once you give your life to him, it is finished. Your sins, your guilt, your unworthiness, is washed away. No other religion can do this. I pray for you and God Bless.
I ❤ Them since day 1! Happy Holidays Teggie
@@mandiantonucci13 happy holidays 🎄🎁🙏
Blue October I really hope y'all know how important you are to so many of us. How years after you release songs they still are out there saving lives while we struggle with our battles. I never imagined I'd make it to 18 let alone 31. This song will be played at my wedding ♥️
Me too. Its our wedding song for next year
So many of you are thanking blue october. RECOGNIZE THAT EACH OF YOU HELPED YOURSELVES! YOU (YOURSELF) DID IT!!!!!!! music helps though, fo sho!
Now that I see what you wrote... your so right. Anyone else that read's this should feel good about there self's.
Sometimes a tune can hit you right in the heart, sometimes the words hit you right in the mind, put them together and you have Justin who can tear apart every emotion you have locked away.
Blue october has helped and been there through all the meth addiction and alcoholism now I'm sober and owe one of my thanks to them thank you justin❤ my baby girl and you helped me through all the hell storms in my life I thank god theres people like you
This song is an incredible story of being set free. I see this song as a letter of salvation. Years ago, I fell in love with this band but felt a deep sense that the lead singer (Justin) has such a high calling on his life and an incredible testimony. I prayed for him then and I am praising God now for the transformation that seems to have taken place. PTL!
I love your comment. Perfect.
Amen
Megan Bordenave thank you
yes me too. i had a brokenn childhood and im a musician. jesus saved me. im not broken anymore, xxooo
Justin is a walking testimony to many...
I love this. These guys know how to put lyrics and music together to touch the secret parts of everyones heart like no one else.
Damn right
❤
This band is perfection
comepleteiy
I agreeee
Always and forever ✨ BRILLIANT ✨💀
Beautiful.....thank you Jesus for the holy spirit and the comfort in hard times and forgiving me
ABSOLUTELY
Im glad you've found a sense of religion all I've found is well life that seems to kick my ass lost the woman i loved to suicide lost my best freind like a brother to a fatal car crash and lost my father figure to natural causes i guess you could call it natural but all that happened in a very short time span im 17 i lost my father figure at 8 lost my best freind at 11 and i lost the woman i fell for at age 15 and not to add all my other issue's but I've prayed for forgiveness and relief I've cried myself to sleep I've felt and almost tasted death and all i felt was cold dark nothingness all I'll say is what god would let this happen? And before anyone says at 15 i was too young to understand love if evrerytime you see the person you love makes your heart sink and skip a beat that everytime you saw them cry or there scars made your world absolutely crash just wishing that you could just make there pain stop that youd give your life to save theres and you'd sell your mortal soul just to make them smile a true smile then i dont know what love is
@@aaveragesatanist5675 Read the Book of Job.
The haunting violin is amazing.
To the point where there are no true words to describe.
💯
This is real music. Praise Jesus for picking up the pieces of my shattered life and restoring me. He is real.
His music is great
Yes, yes He IS!! And I thank Him for restoring you, making you into someone who is a trophy to His love and grace! Stay close to Him, my friend... Like a life raft in raging waters!
Im glad I'm not the only one who feels chfist in this song. Send me a message lets talk about our faith and struggle.
MR SIMPSON
You are my Brother
The fuck you make this a jesus song or related to your shiity religion. God isn't real. Jesus was a Spaniard, complete turd. Open your eyes you dumb twats.
1 year 4 months sober I have custody of my 1 year 4month old princess here no broken anymore thank u Justin
Today is the first time I've heard this song. I can honestly say, I'm in tears. I've had horrific relationships in the past but now I'm with the most beautiful, wonderful woman. She loves me unconditionally. I'm blessed to be with her. Thank you Blue October.
Ive had a crush on my boyfriend for 5 years an were finally together and like hes already proving himself to be my person. Ive never been that girl to want to be around my boyfriend allll the time every day and i do now. ..and this is totally my song to him.
I can finally listen to this without breaking down.... progress 💕
+Donna Kelly Tanner keep working on it
nothin a bj wouldnt cure
+mikeisagodd2012 could you not
help me pls go away and mind your biz..
@mikeisagod2012 is just another douche-bag fuck tard with no life, so he trolls RUclips looking for attention. Just ignore his pathetic ass.
You literally came into my life at such an important time. I've beat drug addiction, nicotine addiction and now I'm facing alcoholism. March first I'm giving it up, fighting it on my own and your music is going to keep me inspired! Thank you so much! So glad your music found me! God Bless!
I been sober from alcohol for 3 weeks. Fear is a great song for the battle. Hope you are doing well. Next is nicotine battle for me
Ama Lu I quit drinking for two years and it was probably the worst two years of my life lol, not because I missed the alcohol, I got bored all the time and when Covid hit and being on lockdown I started back. I only drink beer but I drink 5 to 6 days a week. The worst part was after a year of sobriety I went into organ failure 😨, 9 surgeries, ecoli, sepsis, septic shock, shingles, gallbladder removed, biopsies, 14 bleeding ulcers, and contracting Covid while hospitalized, drinking doesn’t feel so wrong lol. Good luck to you and your sobriety Ama I hope you achieve what you desire.
Also Amu if you are trying to heal look into a medicinal dose of magic mushrooms helps with addiction and just overall well-being do your own research of course I’m not a dr but it helped me.
@@amalu8838 how your sobriety going?
❤Your a warrior, keep going, your ancestors walk beside you❤
I lost my best friend and love of my life to meth, alcohol and sexual addiction. I tried to stand by him but it was too painful to watch him destroy himself and our love. I pray that one day he will see the light and the Lord will set him free from the chains of addiction. This song makes me so sad because I waited and prayed for the miracle of his recovery.
Desert N my husband is alcoholic. He is obviously sick, jaundiced and won't get help, even though he knows he needs it. It's not fair to be put in the position of being told they dont want you to go yet we have to see them kill themselves slowly. I don't know how much more I can take. Love and keeping him "safe" has not been enough
Desert N I think it also makes it harder since hes not abusive. Sometimes I wish he was just horrible so leaving would be much easier.
@@e4mafia8283 Forcing you to watch him kill himself slowly may not be a gut punch or a kick to the head but it definitely causes you a lot more pain now and then far into the future with possibly ever lasting damage. If you leave him, or kick him out would he stop then ? Because sometimes when nothing you've done has helped that person see the light, and voluntarily go and get help to stop - then all you have left to take away from him, to try to get him to stop before it's too late, is yourself. Is it possible that you're in some way enabling his addiction, such as making excuses for him to employers, family or children, or somehow shielding him from the bad consequences of the addiction ,what it is doing to him ? Are you financially supporting his habit and he's not? If you are making it easy for him not to change, you can be unknowingly contributing to him never reaching that point of getting help, especially if you buy his food, alcohol or otherwise help him do what he is doing, even driving him to the liquor store. I'm not judging you or blaming you because I've been there and I know how slowly the process goes when you are the spouse of someone who is addicted to anything, and how often the spouse can be the last one to know they've got a serious problem and can not stop. I know how easily, progressively we fall into habits that are not helping them, or us, as an addiction progresses. I'm just asking these things to maybe have you think about your options differently. You can always draw the line, as far as you are concerned in being forced to keep watching him kill himself, you can tell him to get real help to stop or to get out or that you are leaving if he won't, because you will not sit and be witness to his slow suicide anymore. Maybe the only thing you can use to pressure him to get help is to remove yourself from his life. Because if he dies (and he will if he is jaundiced already... My niece died at 43 from liver failure, she was diagnosed and 8 weeks later she died leaving 5 small kids behind her with no father present in their lives either, and she had been sober for over 10 years. Just less than a year of relapse drinking killed her.) as I was saying IF he dies and you have not tried this tough measure to wake him up to seek help, you will suffer so much regret, guilty feelings and grief long after he is gone from here. If you have children together you'll also suffer more than you can know seeing them lose him for the rest of their lives. So, a word of advice from one who's husband died in his sleep at 49 years of age in 2010, largely due to drug abuse....do everything you can to get him help. Start going to Al Anon meetings in your area if you don't do anything else different, because that will help you begin to see what it's been doing to you and others who love him and help you make better decisions now to help all of you.
Ive watched my guy of 15 years destroy himself with alcohol and dabs. I used to smoke and party. Now i have a new fiance and idk what to do, i drink and smoke more. Random drunken reaching out?
I understand and wish you all the blessings in life . Greetings and Gods blessings from the Netherlands
Amazing song guys changed my life from Heroin addict to sober and not broken any more
+mikeisagodd2012 uncalled for
+Jason Maynard Hopefully you'll ignore that utter cockwomble (mikeisatool2012) and live a long and happy life. Well done for kicking the addiction, keep it up.
+Jason Maynard Fuck man. Well done to you. It might seem small to some, but it's a big achievement, & I really hope you get you life back :)
+mikeisagodd2012 wow another immature person who doesn't know the struggles of addiction. people like you make me laugh cause of the pure ignorance and stupidity. I wonder if when you go to sleep at night you think about how you're gonna be a total ass hat. Now I'm not gonna clam I know what addiction is like because I don't I've never been an addict but I know it's hard so before you post something like this on the internet why don't you think about what other people go through and how some people may not be as "perfect" as you are, even though you're nothing more than a piece of gum on the bottom of someone's shoe you fucking cunt for brains.
+Libby Burgess type Libby
This band has gotten me through so much. I battle CPTSD everyday from the several instances of abuse I went through over the years, and honestly, if it wasn't for this band I would be dead by now by my own hand. This is beyond my favorite band. Always has been and always will be. I hope I can someday see them in person.
❤You got this❤
In love with this band... just perfection
want to dedicate to my brother rudy, , who rescued me from the life that was killing me. if he could only understand how much this song resonates too him. I'm clean 14 years, so proud of myself wish he could be too
The lyric's to this beautiful song certainly tell my story of where I was 30 years ago this month addicted to meth and how my life turned around when I gave it all back to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "Not Broken Anymore" certainly is an anthem song for all that finally decide to let Jesus who is real, who can heal and allow each one of us to become "Not Broken Anymore"! Thank You Justin and Blue October for this inspiring song that will touch the lives of so many broken souls!
Amen you got it right may god have mercy on all of ower soul's
+Charles R Painter Jr Keep up the good fight brother!
+Charles R Painter Jr Hope you're still hanging in there man, We're always blessed to be alive, to be strong enough to find it deep down to change the things that hold us back, and to always keep moving forward. Real change is always possible if we truly have our mind made up. We gotta be there for the people who need us NOW. That's what matters.
+Malcolm Cluff lol
Charles, I am crying tears of happiness for you. You are an inspiration. Amen.💜
This song is beautiful ❤ Blue October is so underrated. 💙
I love how Justin shows his raw emotion when he sings!!!
This song is so beautiful. It's like these guys looked at me and have written their music after my life. It's even evolved as I grew older. This song tells a story that's so much like my own with my girl. Wow. Thanks guys. Thanks for being so relatable.
Blue October....they write the anthems of my life, I am so grateful for their music 🎶
to my sister molli who died of cancer at the age of 33 you were the ship that kept me a float rip my beautiful angel
Rob Gleason so sorry for your loss. much love and many prayers always, Carrie
Carrie Carden thankyou carrie for such kind words your a wonderful person thankyou
+Rob Gleason im so sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss may she rest in peace.
That's so sad my dad died when I was 2 I never really new him
The piano play in this is so just...emotional. It hits heavy in the feels right away. And really sets the mood.
This song is not about letting go. It’s about an un-breakable love. About breaking through barriers in love and relationships. It’s about finding the one true love that one finally finds. It’s a healing. It’s a beautiful love.
Can you explain more about the song please
Thank you Blue October, your songs have helped me through my most difficult moments, being a teenager, becoming a mom, and now when I feel the most hopeless. From the bottom of my hear thank you, for your beautiful and meaningful words.
Never, ever give up! You sound like me. I almost lost all I Iove in my life and didn't care. You ARE worth it!
laura herrera ive been in a deep depression since i was 13(28 now) when i was 17 i saw hate me on mtv. since then i have listened to blue october every day. im still in a much wore state now..but this band helps.
Leah Pierson thank you so much for your kind words, they mean so much.
guardiangarasu yes they do, sometimes I feel like am better, but then I wake up again and am in this whole I can't dig myself out of.
laura herrera if at any time you ever feel like youre doing better, hold on to that. you will eventually be able to dig yourself out. im to the point where i never feel better. its pretty much too late for me.
Blue October singer, has a gifted voice and is very talented with expressing feelings of love through his music! A beautiful song; "Not Broken Anymore!" 💜
Thank you Blue October. I was bleeding. Stopped believing. Could have died. Your songs saved my life.
Absolutely relatable song I love this song so much
I dedicate this song to my big brother,
I love you and please know you are not broken anymore...WE are not broken anymore...I love you and we can fight these demons together 🤝🙏👊
I'm mending slowly but surely and someday I'll be able to say " I'm not broken anymore" like him.
Meilin wang88 broken it's just a memorial thing
you Will... I am Not broken anymore... I met him when we were 8... it only took him 41 yrs to find me... but he Has

Mental health and the stigma attached to it need no introduction to the people who carry the burden. Some people carry the burden, keep it from others. I have decided to publish (in book form) some inspirational tales from such people.
I am collecting stories (single pager) from people who have suffered in the worst possible ways from depression and have tried to commit (or thought of) suicide. They can share their suicide notes, the story of how they have battled their way out and survived and ending with a smiling (inspirational) picture of theirs.
Currently, I am looking to connect with people who’re willing to contribute to this project! If you’re interested, please get in touch!!
So much emotion in all there songs. Always makes me feel something deep inside .
Seeing them live changed my life! So much love. Justin gets in my soul.
He's singing this song to himself, in a sober state he can see all the people he has hurt. This isn't a love song it's a song about him getting right with himself. I can relate to that.
+4evertwizted100 It is most definitely a love song. Quoted here :
Furstenfeld considers this emotional ballad to be the most personal tune on Sway. "That's the first song I attempted to tackle when I found this new way of life," he told Radio.com. "It means so much to me because I wrote it for my wife, what she did for me and all the things she empowered me with."
+John Kiser 6 months later I stand corrected.
+John Kiser a year and 6 months
This is his sober self singing to the addict he used to be

WHAT A Precious
HONOR to Read
such respectable quotes and comebacks.
Thank you both......that's how it's supposed to be, RESPECT for your fellow man or woman on Social media. Have a wonderful day & Long Life !!!✌
I understand the prayer behind the song.. and I shed a tear for those who don't understand.. and pray that your message is heard.. thank you wholeheartedly. -Detroit Ashley Michele Soprano ☆
i love this song. im glad I found it.
I am Broken now .. Tracy you left me way to soon my dear friend. But thank you for sending me this song when you were emotionally healed. Now I cry to it. RIP my dear friend.
This is one that brings me to tears EVERYTIME. I feel his words, his pain, his doubts and his reaching out for relief. If you've ever felt a pain so deep and felt real hopelessness for even only a moment, you will love this song. It's as if I wrote them myself. God bless you for your amazing talent to be able to reach so many lost souls looking for answers....
❤
there's no pain like the sting of a broken heart.......
One day, I won't be broken anymore...
Left the military and developed numerous anxiety issues, depression, alcohol addiction, etc.
It took a long time for me for forgive myself for some of the things I'd done to myself and to others.
God healed me, my now-wife healed me, my family healed me.
And thanks to them, I finally was able to kick habits that were killing me, move on, and forgive myself after years of being in pain.
This song stands as an honest triumph for all who have made it through to see the other side as well as those who are on their way.
Thank you, Blue.
This songs a goose bump and tear jerker.
Saw Blue some years ago. amazing show. This song alone, made me realize how lucky I was, with my honey, after 17-18 yrs of being in a semi-toxic relationship years past. Blue's music.. regardless of circumstances..., just wow. if you get a chance to go see them, GO GO GO. still one of the most underrated bands out there, and one of my favorites, till this day! I will add my thanks to Blue for their music. NOT BROKEN anymore after alcohol abuse, depression and everything else that my ex-gf and mother of my 2 kids put me through.
Just lookin in the comments section and seeing so many broken people ... it breaks my heart
PikaKitty69 powerful 😊....the world needs more of you too
People like you are amazing
PikaKitty69 ur a blessing
I need to talk to someone who won't judge me!
I spent my life looking for the rest of me and when I finally found her I couldn't keep her. Together we were pure magic. We fit together as if we were made together. And everyone felt it when they were around us. But because we couldn't drop our vices it tore us apart and I dont ever expect to feel whole again. We are both broken and devastated because we cant be together. It's just not fair...we finally found each other. I'll always love you Phoebe. You mean more to me than you'll ever know. Bye baby
Youve found you inner peace....your music reflects your most sacred emotion and thats what I love about your music. Merry Christmas to you and your family......
This song relates to me when I was struggling with depression bad and my father wasn’t helping out with my situation. And how when I finally got through my depression and had to cut my dad out of my life and I found myself again in the lord and in Jesus.
I'm sitting here in the hospital taking my 3rd chemo treatment. I'm looking around the room at all the other patients who are doing the same thing I'm doing except I have my headphones on. Listening to the song "fear" I realized I'm not as alone in this fight as I was feeling not five mins ago. It's overwhelming knowing cancer takes no prisoners but the songs that Justin Furstenfield sing bring tears to even the smallest soul in a tiny TX town hospital.
5 years ago this group quite possibly saved my life....
....today I can say they are doing the same thing in a different way....
After having to say goodbye to my mom almost 1 year ago, this band has helped me move on & try to be happy again.. wishing someone you love to become sober again isn’t easy but I tried, I tried so hard but I got tired after 3 years of the same abuse.
How is it possible..... so many of your songs are me!
I love hard but I can love from a distance with no problem. ❤ I had to do it with my family. Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister..total dysfunctional dynamic..mother narcissistic and very abusive but just to me. Took my entire family from me. Many years and I had to live them from distance. Took many memories from me and them. 😢
to my brother who died at the age of 35 who was my world the other half of me the only one like me now i am alone in this world without him. but im not sad i will not cry. i will remember you. so jason if you are looking down on me i love you
and thank you blue October for your music i feel when i play it on the piano i think of him all the beautiful moments we shared in our 33 years together
Shannon Dragotta beautiful and so inspiring! God bless you
I just lost my brother this past November. I feel your pain. We must do them proud and succeed.
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago, and oh, how I needed to hear it! Only a person who has "seen the empty deep," crawled through its hell, climbed the vertical walls of its abyss, and lived to reach the crest to view the dawn of a new day, could write this beautiful, melodic piece. Thank you, #BlueOctober, for sharing a part of your soul to let those of us who are still struggling to climb, know that heaven and healing are waiting for us at the top. #Ihopeyourehappy. 😊
❤
If she only knew how much I love her.
I know the feeling.
I'm sure she does, truly. Women know when someone loves them sweetie. My son is going through this same thing. This song makes me cry because of this pain...weird though, SHE let's her guard down then puts it up again, and it's just destroying my son.
Sorry
eric hall man I'm right there with you! I absolutely know the feels man. Brother these times hurts, and when, like in my position, left to hang while she chooses someone else, someone you know isn't capable of loving you the way you love her, it's damn painful! I just got out of a 5 year relationship, wasn't ready for anything and this one came in like a tidal wave! I didn't want to, I didn't want to love, I didn't want to hurt her, but she captivated me! She took nothing but gave me everything I wanted, only to be told a few months later, she had started seeing someone. That hurt more than a 5 year ending.
fart
Unlike most bands from my childhood, Blue October had the least change, they are one of the only ones who didn't change or only slightly changed their sound. They are still my favorite band..
honestly after the hell I've been though seen, I feel comfortable with it. I've been at the top of the mountain, I've been in hell. im still trying crawl out. but i will never quit. i wish i had someone not to fix me not to take care of me, just to understand
That person will come into your life so unexpectedly, it's true. Quotes and sayings amaze me, how else would they have ever become so popular if it wasn't true???
Youre like me.
Continuously crawling. But at least we know we are moving forward,
Even if all we can do now is crawl.
fill you bro Trouble ahead, trouble behind, Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but you still don't see.
Colby Laidlaw I hop today you are in a better place then a year ago
I'm here if u ever need me xx
"BLUE OCTOBER is The Ship." That Kept Me Afloat!
Heavenkept ♡♡♡
Words do not express how much I love all your songs
🖤💜💔not broken anymore!!!! Spiritual growth is real!!!! Luv yourself
Deep song with a huge hidden message.
He’s singing this to God.
No he wrote this for his wife trust me buddy God bless
I flew to FL to see a friend. I was broken, and the life was gone in my eyes. I knew this might have been my last chance to get it together. I laid in a room next the beach for 5days with the air as low as it could go. I was detoxing, but honestly I was also close to death. I had this on repeat, as my body type me apart from the inside out. I screamed, cried, and wanted to just lay out all down. This guy helped me get through it. . When I returned home, and walked through the door my mother started crying. Her words were "I can see you" " I haven't seen my son in years, and I can see the life in your eyes." It about broke my heart. I didn't realize the strain I had put on others, as I was trying to battle my own problems. It wasn't just my life I was messing up. It was those around me as well. Blue October helped me get through one of my darkest hours. I'm thankful for Justin, and his music.
What a beautiful piece of art! Gives me shivers. Amazing talent!
"But I can't stop thinking
How you just keep making sense
Of all that was broken before" Powerful lyrics there!
Justin is saving me and my family with his gifted lyricism.
As usual I'm in tears. Absolutely love this song.
Standing next to me, oh the person i can be!!!! I love this song. So many songs have helped heal me and get back control. I no longer am controled by my anxiety or panic attack disorders! I control them!
❤
I can't believe a song fixed all my problems. Thank you Jesus, praise this man.
11 years sober here and dual dx (bipolar)... bawling my eyes out because this song so perfectly encapsulates what it feels like when you find God (hp, Whatevs) and recover from an addiction. I used to be a huge fan before I got sober and haven't listened to their last few albums yet. I definitely will now! If you're here and feeling down or hopeless, I care and I understand. And it CAN get better. I used to go to bed and pray I don't wake up. It has been a long time since I have felt that way.
Everytime I hear this song, I always look at her and it brings tears to my eyes. I dedicated this song to her. Hopeful one day we will dance to this at our wedding.
Thank you for this song.
My relationship with my wife of almost 18# years that I just left less than two months ago because I just couldn't trust her anymore. This song really helped me get through the day's. Thank you Justin.
God is so amazing!!!! i feel every bit of the Holy Spirit in Justin even though he may not openly speak about Jesus in this song. I'm so happy that life has turned around for him. You're my homie Justin, maybe we can work together with some music some day. until then, God bless bro!!! 💘
Wow OMG I'm speechless and in tears! This song is absolutely beautiful~ Wow!
call me name ivan
Brings tears to my eyes every single time.
My 15 yr old son came from his room, said, "MOM! I just stumbled across this song!!" I hope my 18yr really listens 2 this INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL song & truly takes heed. He's losing everything good in his life. Pride can be so damaging. I am the ONLY 1 who has fought4 him all his life! I HAD2 let him go. I just wonder..since I have been the ONLY "constant" in his life, can he really do the same? I'm so thankful for such a BEAUTIFUL song. EVERY1 needs 2 hear this!! It can mean SO much 2 So MANY!! As a mother who's lost a child @ 36mths old. I KNOW what Broken is! I pray my Bracken is safe. TY Blue Oct 4 another awesome & moving song!!
This song is divine.
I still listen to this no matter how many other great songs they have, this one I keep coming too. I hope that I can someday find the peace that I look for and say that I am not broken anymore!
Brought me to tears, brilliantly done!
I first heard this at a catering gig for Justin's cousin's wedding. It was just him and the guitar. He really loved our Bar B Que. He was so embracing while we watched his cousin get into the SUV that had sand art of the newlyweds. It began to rain so hard the art washed off. As they drove away. But nothing was ruined. Everyone arrived and left in good spirits. Thank you Justin
I love this song.
beautiful
Very
Sweet

Thank you all for your kind pluses!
There is so much emotion in Justins Voice.
He gives it everything he has in every Blue October song
Вообще не могу без слёз слушать эту песню, просто автоматом нахлынывает грусть ...... 😥😢😥

I am going to rehab for alcohol, tomorrow and I am terrifiied. I have officially broken my mom by all the anger, taking, and the limit I pushed my old mom to. And when I complete this year treatment, and I get some sobriety under my belt i am dedicating this song and fear by Blue October to her. Im gonna make you proud mom.
Only love is real.
I am love, I am loved, I am loving.
I embrace change.
Change is beautiful.
Change is exciting.
Change brings happiness and joy.
Change is powerful.
I welcome change in my life.
I am happy with the changes that are happening.
I love myself.
I love how beautiful I am when I am transforming.
When I feel resistance I let it go.
I no longer resist change.
Change is growth.
I love to grow.
When I think of change I think of growth.
Growth isn’t scary. Growth is beautiful!
Just like a caterpillar goes through changes. So do we.
The caterpillar trusts itself to know what it needs while it is going through these changes.
Trust that you know too.
A caterpillar does not resist the changes that are happening to it. It trusts the process.
You can trust the process too.
A caterpillar doesn’t need reassurance from others that it is on the right track. It believes in itself.
You can believe in yourself too.
A caterpillar knows that it needs to nurture and care for itself during this time of great transformation.
You need to take time to love and support your growth too.
Ask yourself,
What does my body need today?
Is it rest? Time with those you love? Time in nature? Good healthy food?
When we are in flow with the changes that are happening we can support them and feel good about them.
When we are in resistance we cling to fear, the old ways, and what once was.
Choose to accept. Choose to love who you’re becoming.
One day you will look back in amazement at how far you have come.
Today is one of those days.
Stop and look at how far you have come. You are transforming.
You were once that little eggs on a leaf.
Now look at you!!
You’re all so beautiful. I can see you now.
You’re ready to embrace the change and accept LOVE. You are love. You are loved. You are loving.
May you all feel the warmth and joy inside you today as your spirit cheers you on. You can do it! You are amazing! Wow, you are so brave!!
May the love, light, and peace be with you all today. 💜💖💛
Nice
This song reminds me of God ♥️ because of him, I’m not broken anymore.
I know how to let you leave
How am I suppose to let you go?
Now you stand in front of me
And all the rain is turning into snow
Can you tell me that you're real
So I can really know
That everything I feel I can finally show
Standing next to me oh the person I can be
Is finally here and he won't back down at all
But I can't stop thinking
How you just keep making
Sense of all that was broken before
And I won't keep faking
'Cause I'm done with taking
'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore
I've seen the empty deep
I've damned up the water flow
You're the touchstone my complete
You're the ship that kept me afloat
Can you tell me that you're real
So I can really know
That everything I feel I can finally show
Standing next to me oh the person I can be
Is finally here and he won't back down at all
But I can't stop thinking
How you just keep making
Sense of all that was broken before
And I won't keep faking
'Cause I'm done with taking
'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore
But I can't stop thinking
How you just keep making
Sense of all that was broken before
And I won't keep faking
'Cause I'm done with all the taking
'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore
And I can't stop thinking
How you just keep making
Sense of all that was broken before
Yeah and I won't keep faking
'Cause I'm done with taking
'Cause with you I'm not broken anymore
I'm not broken anymore
Thank u much for the lyrics. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. God bless u and your family.
Beautiful song... Just, amazing! Thank you Blue October
If he could only see what I feel !!!
Someone very special to me introduced me to more of Blue October than I had heard before. I think of her every time I hear this song- because this is how I felt with her. My world came down when we parted ways. It’s been a couple of years but I’m still not over it.
I miss you so much Julie.
The lyrics are so deep
yea there
