This is a great version of the song. Knowing and relating to his history, you can feel him retelling it with a new stability that is only found with someone who has the wisdom of conquering addiction. The imperfections only add to the humanity of it. The cuts, the scars, the trauma. You can feel it. It's far from perfect, but that's what makes it perfectly real and relatable.
OMG this version is so powerful and beautiful, I have 24 years recovered from Meth, and am glad that my own Mom and Dad got to see me sober and get my life together before they passed away.
A freind said 16 yrs ago lisen to this band he played Hate me. Im going through the same thing wit my own son my relationship is so hard i want to help him .i feel in love wit the band 16 yrs ago still love you guy's. From the UK .
This was the first song I fell in love with when I moved to US.. totally new world for me and this song was with me every day.. today, after a lot of years, I am back to Italy and I can't live without blue october and the memories they recall.. they are just carved into my soul.. thank you, you made me live a great experience..
I just dig Jusin. His story of accomplishment and battling demons is just incredible. I just love this version of such a great song! God Speed to you, dude! Keep the music alive, brother!
This acoustic version feels like revisiting old pain after you’ve healed. This is so beautiful. Justin is such a lovely soul. Many times his music has poignantly articulated pain I felt but didn’t know how to face.
This song is so moving to me! It takes me back to a very bad time in my life, when I was an addict and I ruined alot of lives! I revisit it all the time to remind me, I am not that person anymore! It doesn't hurt as much but the sting is always there! If I feel weak it, sets me straight!
This man saved my life. Sobriety is hard but made so much more beautiful with Justin being accessible. Wish I could meet him and thank him for being him. He is my hero and inspiration. God bless you Justin 🤘🏼
This is such an inspiration to me. I am a Lover, a father, a guitar player and teaching the love of my life everything I have learned and know about music. Music is our love and our life and I never in a million years thought that the music that I love unconditionally would ever hurt me until I saw the sparkly gleam in her eyes start to fade away while she sang to me. Her and I both battle the demons of addiction and depression and we have done it together for almost 8 years and recently found ourselves a thousand miles away from home with our two beautiful babies and had to make the hardest decision that we have ever encountered as a couple. And that was facing the fact that our little family might be better off apart for a short period of time. Sometimes you have to let go in order for what's best to be manifested. I still can't decide if it was for the best or if it was the worst decision we ever made but sometimes I listen to this song and play it on my guitar and for that short moment in time I'm free. Free of the chains of darkness and demons, free from the voices of our conscience that constantly keep us bound down. So for that I thank you Justin Furstenfeld. Your songs to people like us are so much more than just entertainment. They give us hope.
'Sway' was an amazing record. 'Angels in Everything' is one of the great songs I ever heard. The most hopeful, humble, grateful, and appreciative love song I have ever heard.
I'm not crying, you're crying...

Most beautiful version of Hate me I have ever heard and what a beautiful human being.
I was over this song seeing as it seemed to be way over played here, but this version of the song is amazing.
No hate only hurt and forgiveness

The lyrics never hit just right until this version...

I cannot listen to this song without breaking down. I'm sorry Mama. RIP 💔

This song is a voice and cry of millions who’ve experienced addiction. On both sides of the coin the user and the devastated loved ones!
