Like Mr. Video said recently and over whelmed him was music hits you in the feels in a way some people do not understand or expect sometimes too. I would like to see you guys bridge into some Emo music people assume that means sad and emotional but it doesn’t. Sometimes it hits a certain spot people don’t understand I think she would, you should check out The Used - Taste of Ink. There is a spot of release in metal, emo and rock music in general of being allowed to be angry, crazy and misunderstood that people don’t understand sometimes. Even Marilyn Manson if you real want to dive in.
What it do Half and Jai?! Listen up Half, if y'all liked this song then you should check out a song he wrote called King. You could dedicate it our girl Jai. I know she'll love it. His name is Justin Furstenfeld. Check him out. I love what y'all do. Please keep it up! I'll catch y'all in the next video! ✌✌
The lead singer of this band is an incredible person. I went to a meet n greet of theirs two years ago. My friend Zach who passed away when I was a teenager showed me blue October. And I went to see them on Zach’s birthday & told them about it. They signed a poster, telling him happy birthday. And announced they were bringing the house down in his honor during the show. He stood in front of me and sang “I hope you’re happy”, holding my hand basically the entire performance. Meant the world to me. I felt like Zach was right there beside us. Never felt anything close to that in my life. Justin is amazing.
I Love Justin. I have seen them about 8 times. I've even taken my daughter who at the time was 6 to see them. When he playred Jump rope he pointed to her and said "this is for you little angel" And I have a video on youtube of it. I have done meet and greets and i even saw him eating dinner before a show in VA And he told my wife to come in and take pics with them. Truly Awesome person!
Damn, I related with her so much, I might have teared up a little. She's fortunate to have someone who can understand the anxiety, despite not experiencing as much
Blue October is a very powerful band. Justin Furstefeld (lead singer) writes all his song from his personal experience and his battle with depression, addiction, anxiety, and heartbreak. His whole discography is a journey from dark to light. Always remember, like the song said, "I used to fall, but now I get back up!" Thank you for this video.
The great Justin Furstenfeld AMAZING artist! Has also overcame things that break ALOT of people especially artists...y'all would definitely like more of Blue October's work! There is actually a documentary about Justin's battles its called "Get back up" definitely worth a watch! Beautiful reaction.
Y’all are amazing. Thank you for choosing to listen to Blue. They (especially Justin), have saved so many people just because we finally feel like someone understands. You are a beautiful couple.
I love everything about this! I have horrible anxiety and depression and this band has saved me in so many ways. So awesome to see him touching the soul of another. 💙
I saw them live in concert and they were so intimate with the crowd. They make u feel special and u feel unity when they perform. Justin is incredible all around. As an artist and as a human being
Sweetheart, you are not alone. I am dual diagnosed with anxiety and depression. And I am in recovery. When I heard this song, I broken down. He put a face on it for me. And it gave me strength. Knowing your enemy is when the battle can be won. Keep on fighting.
I've haven't came across your both channel until now. I want to say thank you for showing this video. This video has had an empact on me for years now and completely transformed my life... back then. Unfortunately I can't say so much for these days as I'm a complete alcoholic. Thank you for sharing a song that's so meaningful.
@@fergk5527 everyday presents a new opportunity. Justin has been doing the 12 steps live sessions through the pandemic lockdown and they are recorded on his channel...also they launched get back up TV. He is taking you through the steps with his heart, music, and stories. So even if you aren't ready....it is gooooood! I'm not an alcoholic but married to one so I also want you to know you are loveable, despite what any negative voice may be shouting in your head. 💙
You can tell the love between you both. It's such a rare thing these days. My wife has had to sacrifice somethings she would be doing if I didn't suffer from mental illness. God Bless you both.
I have severe ptsd and anxiety from serving in 2 wars. There are a few songs out there that have let me live a happy and beautiful life. It took a long time for me to understand exactly what Justin is singing about. It's wonderful how bright and beautiful life is. I hope you get past it and can thrive!!!
I absolutely love that it brought out that emotion in Jai so quickly, I cry every time I hear it and I’m a 56 year old guy with 2 grown kiddos. Justin has been through some dark dark times, like I have, like a lot of us in the Blue October family have. I listened to this song 100’s of times when I went through my divorce, I know it by heart and it’s my favorite song by Blue October. I’ve seen them perform it 3 times live as a band and I saw Justin perform it on his solo tour, it’s absolutely incredible 🥰 (I’m crying now 😏)
I feel very similarly to you when in comes to anxiety, when I hear this song I feel better, but the fear always seems to creep back in, and we have to constantly renew our strength to overcome.
Seeing him on the open book tour was a deeply moving experience. Won VIP tickets. Got to meet him, get a poster signed and and right before his manager was about to take a picture I said "weird how we've got are arms around each other like we're old friends" he said "awww we can be friends!" and gave me a full on hug so I matched it and ended up with a great picture and memory. Fear may be my favorite Blue October song as well, great choice for a reaction video. Love you guys!
He had me crying the first time I heard it. You should hear him live in his Open Book concerts. I manage anxiety too and I’m proud of y’all for listening and being real !!
This is the cancer fight song so many who have it listen to this song everyday. Blue October is just a great band. I first heard them around 2010 and been hooked
Nothing Like Blue October to bring you to your knees with their words and vocals. My favorite band. Concerts are spiritual. You won't understand till you go to one.
So happy you played this song. One of my all time favorites. Justin has an incredible voice. His lyrics and tone hit home so incredibly hard. Thanks for the reaction. It's always nice to see how the words effects others and what they take from it. Kick that anxiety to the curb. It's crippling.
As a major Blue October fan & fellow panic & anxiety disorder fighter, I thank you for this video! This hit my heart big time. You both are awesome and have my respect. Definitely going to subscribe!💙
100 percent I can relate to her. Anxiety is crippling. I don't know where it comes from myself. Family, work, friends, it can effect everything. But it also can be overcome. Therapy helps.
Every time I hear this song I cry. I absolutely love his musical talent. He has written some amazing songs that hit home for me. But stay strong girl we all have challenges that we have to face.
I hope you all know just how much love and positive energy you 2 are putting out into The Universe. Whether you realize it or not, you guys are Ministers. You are Counselors & Therapists. It’s your authenticity and your love for each other; It’s your openness to SAY YES TO LIFE!! I simply cannot thank you both enough! Much much much love and gratitude from East Tennessee ❤️
I felt this. So glad I clicked on this today. Fear has held me back all my life. Fear of failure has kept me from pursuing literally EVERYTHING. Goals. Dreams. All of it. I feel you sis. Thank you for sharing your story. Maybe today I can take a few baby steps towards overcoming because of you. God bless❤❤
Having someone that understands you and sticks by your side no matter what is the greatest gift of all. I wouldn't feel guilty because he is expressing his love for you and it's nothing to him to do it because he loves you that much. Love always put together those that need each other the most.
This man's current wife pulled him out of the addictions that his mental illnesses were fueling and he wrote a song to her called "how to dance in time". Maybe not worth a reaction video but worth a watch. In a live from Manchester version, he starts the song by just calling her name. In his most passionate voice. You literally feel this dudes love and appreciation for her in how he calls her name. Makes you wonder if anybody calls your name with that level of passion. Appreciate the video.
I have been dealing with anxiety all my life. This song is spot on. Plus, I love blue October. I’m praying for you girl… it isn’t easy but we just need to breathe and remember we are not in danger.
Thank you for your openness and vulnerability. When you love someone you don't ever really think of it as a "compromise". It's just love. You love them for all that they are, as they are. Much love and support to you both.
My fav band of all time. So underappreciated or known.....best lyrics and performances and no one, no one, connects with the audience like Justin. I grew up maybe 10miles from him in Alief, TX back in the 80's but never heard of him then...and apparently he was pretty big locally. Was introduced to him 5 years ago by a friend and now I travel to see them as much as I can.
So real, this is why we are all connected and truly need each other, helped my wife get through a very tough time. My wife and I were totally in the same place a couple of years back, you got this!
Severely underrated band! Their song Hate Me, came out a couple months after my mom died. Totally wrecked me, but also helped me through it. Check that song you won't regret it. Beautiful reaction guys!
Awww Jai I want to hug you. I've listened to this band when they first came out and this song hit me the same way. I live with anxiety and it can be terrible feeling and most people don't understand. You got a good man next to you and I'm happy that he can help you thru your days and you don't have to face it alone. Bless you both
I started watching y'all a long time ago because of her. You got a real one there brother. She's one of the good ones. Her heart is beautiful. Hoping for nothing but good things for y'all. I wish the best for you both
One of their best songs and the song that made them my favorite band ever. Being a woman who was recently in a domestic violence relationship for many years, this song gave me the strength to get out and it became my first and last song on my playlist almost every time I worked out and went jogging.
I rewatched this waiting for your new video. You girl are so real!!! Mad respect for you being real. God Bless you and your family. The start. Your daughter and her bike bell amazing!!!
In the end, a loving couple balances each other out. When one is down the other up. You flow together lifting the other up as needed. A gift that money could never buy. Blessings to you both!
Every song I mean every song touches everyone to a great degree Life, relationships... He says it best no other artist can nail it like Justin. I love this artist.
I ended up here trying to calm myself down from a panic attack. Seeing your emotion, seeing that you feel how I do, that helped me so much. Much love to you, I pray for the day when neither of us deal with this again
I truly love you guys.. this one got to me cause my daughter suffers from anxiety and it breaks her down hard sometimes.. it’s easy for someone that doesn’t have it to just brush it aside but for someone that truly suffers.. it is earth shattering. Stay with the good vibes yall!
Awesome you can share that. Many have faced anxiety throughout our lives and we stay quiet about it. Thank you for sharing and it helps others to know that they are not alone
I never watched or understood reaction videos until I stumbled on you guys. I get it now. Your beautiful souls. To see true love like you have is amazing. I'm a forever fan. Keep doing your thing!
I listen to this every morning and anytime during the day that I need it. It gets me through my day and helps me to understand that my mental health is something that only I can do anything about. Outside triggers are out of my control. I take it a day at a time. Music is always a great escape and really helps.
When she started crying- I died. Ugh 😭❤️❤️❤️ I think you are wonderful ❤️ I’m so sorry you feel anything less than wonderful, I feel like you’re such a sweet honest soul and it seems like y’all have such an understanding & supportive relationship.
I’m just seeing this reaction video but this made my day. Blue October is my favorite band and Justin has many songs that spoke to my life, but this song “Fear” in particular helped me tremendously overcome everything he addresses in their music: depression, addiction, rejection, social anxiety from lifelong subjection to abuse. I give all praise to the Most High God in Christ Jesus, but thank you for this, I cried with you sister Jai. And brother Half, God bless you for holding down your queen and family.
I love your channel. Your reactions are so real. And I completely understand about your struggle with anxiety. It's so hard trying to get through those fears. I have such horrible social anxiety that its a struggle to just go to the store. But having someone by your side that supports you is great to have.
I truly feel this man says God use me as a vessel to share whatever part of my pain and passion you need to reach your children with your message of hope and faith.. and when you hear it it rocks You to your core.
As I said in a previous comment. My wife passed at 38 yrs old due to cancer. We were married just days before her passing. We knew each other all our lives though. She heard this song for the first time during one of Billy's live streams. She instantly took to it. It was played in the house everyday and sometimes more than once . It helped her to calm that fear of what was to come and the unknown. When she passed she was at peace and no fear showed in her. I think this had a hand in that. Jai you hang in there. Look to this as an anthem for yourself. Lora had anxiety also. It is very real and painful. But it can be overcome. Don't force it and don't rush it. Play this as many times a day as you need to. You will get there. Love y'all.
I also deal with anxiety but thankfully the meds have kicked in. Prescribed Xanax mainly for long drives, don’t even need to take it anymore. I pray you get to the same point
I lost my husband 4 years ago. We were married 18 years. He knew me so well that I didn't know how bad my anxiety was until he was gone. How he calculated my mood. I almost left this world when I lost him. Our kids are what keeps me going
You had me in tears. I have recently been diagnosed with Ptsd and major depression disorder long term and recurrent. First time hearing this version of the song. He has another video that gave me chills and had on repeat. He sang it with so much emotion and intensity. It helped me on my darkest days! I know these are public comments and I rarely share how life finally broke me and took me to my knees as well changed me forever despite my already tough times I’ve battled before this! I lost my husband on April 9, 2017 and my life as I knew was gone in less than an hour. I returned home after 10 days visiting relatives, was home about 4 hours, we started making love and was standing, he hit the floor with eyes open. I was like what the hell! He couldn’t respond verbally nor physically. I called 911 and started doing cpr while screaming, praying, crying, begging, pleading, panicked, frightened, confused! It happened out of the blue and he was dying in front of me! It was happening to fast! 40 mins he was gone... I tried with all I had in me to save his life.... heart attack took my best friend, my soul mate, my life partner ... short version 😢 this song helped me process some fears and feelings on days I didn’t want to be here either.. Never take the ones you love for granted, never fear to cry, never fear to talk and express your mental or physical health issues! Life is hard and we are only human, we can only cope with so much before we honestly can’t! It’s a very scary and lonely place... when we get too embarrassed to ask for help or our pride gets in the way in fear of ridicule!! Tears running down my face because now I know exactly how others have fought so hard to overcome and heal their battles... and yet still feel hopeless some days
Beautiful story. I am very sorry you had to endure such difficult circumstances and heartache. I could never imagine what this experience was like for you and how it changed your life forever in just 40 minutes. I sincerely thank you for being brave enough to share it on a public forum. You are truly amazing in every way. May God bless and keep you throughout the rest of your days, especially when you’re struggling the most!
My favorite band EVER. They have soooo many amazing songs, pleaseeeess do more!!!!!! Justin, that singer has suffered from severe depression and anxiety his whole life and eventually went to rehab where he eventually reforms God and learned how to love himself and his family.
I love you guys- your reactions are always real and honest. I love the vulnerability and love that you both show with one another. It's a beautiful thing! I'm not sure if you caught it, but at the end of the song, in the quiet part, he does essentially tell you to pray to get through things. He sings, "Now Breathe... And ask for more. If you're bitter still... Ask Him to help you carry on." Justin wasn't always a real believer but had a life-changing moment in rehab that helped him find God and himself all at once. He tells about it in his Open-Book Tour, and it gives me chills every time. I cry almost every time I hear this passionate acoustic performance because I know his story (and mine) and I'm so damn proud of him (and me- and now you too, Jai) for persevering! Remember- We have survived ALL of our hardest days so far!
Blue October is my ultimate favorite band. Justin Furstenfield has overcame alot. His new music is so positive. Whenever I am feeling down, I listen to their music & it brings me up....
Beautiful Jai! Your pain hurts me. Love you! Let Jason's music give you comfort like it does the rest of us B.O. addicts. The best kind of addiction ever.
Blue October songs make me cry too😟. I have dealt with anxiety and fear since I was 12. Still working on it, it comes and goes. Good for you for showing vulnerability...I consider that a sign of courage and never anything to be ashamed of. It is scientifically healthy to release tears as well.😊. You have a supportive man. Bless you guys🙏
Girl, I feel your emotions. I’ve been through shit myself, and when I hear Blue October it just makes everything come out, whether I need to cry, whether I need too smile, or just be in my own head for a minute. Our depression battles, our anxiety attacks, they can’t control us forever and there’s always something more for us.
Jai, you wouldn't believe who I am in my world and I needed to see you here. I feel exactly the same. Half, I mean nothing other than pure love and concern for her, and you. I am quite lost all on my own. There is healing in this video Jai, trust that your next great success is involved and through your next discomfort and uncomfortable situation. Stay your course, keep looking at each other and never look away.
Man... I feel what your saying Jai. I’m a Navy Vet with PTSD and it kills me to know what I can’t do with my with because of the anxiety that kicks in when I’m in crowded areas. Sometimes we can’t even eat out because I can’t find a seat I can sit in and not freak out. And that’s just scratching the surface. My wife is amazing and has never made me feel bad or weird for what I’m going through. Keep on pushing! It sounds like you got a great man who’s supportive and will be with you through it.
Justin...the singer has overcome many obstacles in his life. The band is from Houston, Tx. as am I... Justin lyrics are so interesting and intense and very therapeutic too. You need to get Blue October's CDs and listen to them. I had the Hate Me CD for about 2 years in my car and never took it out. It helped me change my life and the road I was going down. Luv you guys!!!
Awww, Jai I feel you. I have PTSD and Panic Disorder. This song is a gift to those of us that struggle with the day to day life others take for granted. It takes a lot to get me out of my house, and out into the world every single day, but I do it. And every day is a victory even if all I did was go to the gas station. I'm so happy you found this song. ❤️ Much love to you. ❤️ #goodvibestribe
Half is the best name for your partner. He is the other Half of your heart. When you feel the beast (anxiety) approaching, cut it in half by feeding off your mans emotion. Together you can overcome. Knowing you have someone there to fight with you makes you twice as strong. God bless you 2.
Love your commitment to Jai. You’re one of a kind. Jai as long as you have Half by your side your going get thru it. I appreciate y’all honesty. Love y’all!!
you two draw me in, and I love it. The anxiety never goes away, it’s the daily fight to work past a trigger, every time it’s coming; just keep moving on. At 61, it’s still here and has been a thing since my 20’s. It’s about challenging yourself and knowing that you’re solid, we breathe through it. Keep going ...!

D D thank you for joining the #GoodVibesTribe 🤟🏾🤟🏾
I have anxiety and depression. Just from things that have happened in my life. I feel your pain. You made me cry. And this song is beautiful. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for appreciating Blue October. These songs have helped me through so much of my life.
Y’all are amazing. Thank you for choosing to listen to Blue. They (especially Justin), have saved so many people just because we finally feel like someone understands. You are a beautiful couple.
Love Blue October, Justin writes from his heart, he writes about his metal illness, drug addiction, fighting for child custody...he is amazing!!
I love everything about this! I have horrible anxiety and depression and this band has saved me in so many ways. So awesome to see him touching the soul of another. 💙
I saw them live in concert and they were so intimate with the crowd. They make u feel special and u feel unity when they perform. Justin is incredible all around. As an artist and as a human being

When my anxiety and bipolar depression gets too much to handle I blast this song on repeat. It actually relieves a lot of the pain.
That song is just pure emotional truth
One of my favourite, along with Worry list, and Hate me, they also have a brand new song called The Weatherman
chameleon boy!!
Love you Mrs. Wizard
The worry list. That's a rough song to listen too. Great song though
I've haven't came across your both channel until now. I want to say thank you for showing this video.

May God Bless you both. This life is our classroom, we graduate after.
You two are a beautiful couple!!!!! Thanks for demonstrating this for me to see!!!
This man has gotten me through so many hard times in my life. Ex wife,kids and everything else life has to throw at you.

Don’t give anxiety a voice and never let it back you in a corner 😎

So happy you played this song. One of my all time favorites. Justin has an incredible voice. His lyrics and tone hit home so incredibly hard. Thanks for the reaction. It's always nice to see how the words effects others and what they take from it. Kick that anxiety to the curb. It's crippling.
To have shared such a deep and personal part of yourself with all of us is the showing that you are overcoming fear. Keep on keeping on!

You literally feel this dudes love and appreciation for her in how he calls her name. Makes you wonder if anybody calls your name with that level of passion. Appreciate the video.
So sad they’re divorced now too.
I have been dealing with anxiety all my life. This song is spot on. Plus, I love blue October. I’m praying for you girl… it isn’t easy but we just need to breathe and remember we are not in danger.
True love...ANY man who gets up to get a tissue for the one he loves...that's a real man and true love. Both of ya...shine on.
Thank you for your openness and vulnerability. When you love someone you don't ever really think of it as a "compromise". It's just love. You love them for all that they are, as they are. Much love and support to you both.
Please don’t cry 😞 you can relax 🥰 you got nothing to prove to any of us...you be you... both of you are great just the way y’all are 😊🙃🥰
My fav band of all time. So underappreciated or known.....best lyrics and performances and no one, no one, connects with the audience like Justin. I grew up maybe 10miles from him in Alief, TX back in the 80's but never heard of him then...and apparently he was pretty big locally. Was introduced to him 5 years ago by a friend and now I travel to see them as much as I can.
So real, this is why we are all connected and truly need each other, helped my wife get through a very tough time. My wife and I were totally in the same place a couple of years back, you got this!
The whole live album "Arguing with a Tree" truly is a life saving type of album. Justin is one of the few artists that can touch your soul.
This is actually from the album called sway. Argue with a tree actually was one of their 1st albums
Severely underrated band! Their song Hate Me, came out a couple months after my mom died. Totally wrecked me, but also helped me through it.
Check that song you won't regret it.
Beautiful reaction guys!
Awww Jai I want to hug you. I've listened to this band when they first came out and this song hit me the same way. I live with anxiety and it can be terrible feeling and most people don't understand. You got a good man next to you and I'm happy that he can help you thru your days and you don't have to face it alone. Bless you both
I started watching y'all a long time ago because of her. You got a real one there brother. She's one of the good ones. Her heart is beautiful. Hoping for nothing but good things for y'all. I wish the best for you both
One of their best songs and the song that made them my favorite band ever. Being a woman who was recently in a domestic violence relationship for many years, this song gave me the strength to get out and it became my first and last song on my playlist almost every time I worked out and went jogging.
I rewatched this waiting for your new video. You girl are so real!!! Mad respect for you being real. God Bless you and your family. The start. Your daughter and her bike bell amazing!!!
In the end, a loving couple balances each other out. When one is down the other up. You flow together lifting the other up as needed. A gift that money could never buy. Blessings to you both!
He is a recovery 8 years 3 months. He also do a recovery show every Tuesday night
Every song I mean every song touches everyone to a great degree
Life, relationships... He says it best no other artist can nail it like Justin. I love this artist.
I ended up here trying to calm myself down from a panic attack. Seeing your emotion, seeing that you feel how I do, that helped me so much. Much love to you, I pray for the day when neither of us deal with this again
I truly love you guys.. this one got to me cause my daughter suffers from anxiety and it breaks her down hard sometimes.. it’s easy for someone that doesn’t have it to just brush it aside but for someone that truly suffers.. it is earth shattering.
Stay with the good vibes yall!
Awesome you can share that. Many have faced anxiety throughout our lives and we stay quiet about it. Thank you for sharing and it helps others to know that they are not alone
I too suffer from anxiety, plus depression so this song speaks to me deep down. It's a daily struggle to get up and enjoy life my family deserves.
Really gotta commend both of you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable on camera like that. I think its a very brave thing.
I never watched or understood reaction videos until I stumbled on you guys. I get it now. Your beautiful souls. To see true love like you have is amazing. I'm a forever fan. Keep doing your thing!
I listen to this every morning and anytime during the day that I need it. It gets me through my day and helps me to understand that my mental health is something that only I can do anything about. Outside triggers are out of my control. I take it a day at a time. Music is always a great escape and really helps.
When she started crying- I died. Ugh 😭❤️❤️❤️ I think you are wonderful ❤️ I’m so sorry you feel anything less than wonderful, I feel like you’re such a sweet honest soul and it seems like y’all have such an understanding & supportive relationship.
You are vulnerable. This makes you so beautiful with a kind soul ❤❤❤
I’m just seeing this reaction video but this made my day. Blue October is my favorite band and Justin has many songs that spoke to my life, but this song “Fear” in particular helped me tremendously overcome everything he addresses in their music: depression, addiction, rejection, social anxiety from lifelong subjection to abuse. I give all praise to the Most High God in Christ Jesus, but thank you for this, I cried with you sister Jai. And brother Half, God bless you for holding down your queen and family.
I love your channel. Your reactions are so real. And I completely understand about your struggle with anxiety. It's so hard trying to get through those fears. I have such horrible social anxiety that its a struggle to just go to the store. But having someone by your side that supports you is great to have.
This was raw and emotional. Very great conversation about the song and about her mental health. Blessings to both of y'all. Y'all got a new follower
I truly feel this man says God use me as a vessel to share whatever part of my pain and passion you need to reach your children with your message of hope and faith.. and when you hear it it rocks
You to your core.
As I said in a previous comment. My wife passed at 38 yrs old due to cancer. We were married just days before her passing. We knew each other all our lives though. She heard this song for the first time during one of Billy's live streams. She instantly took to it. It was played in the house everyday and sometimes more than once . It helped her to calm that fear of what was to come and the unknown. When she passed she was at peace and no fear showed in her. I think this had a hand in that. Jai you hang in there. Look to this as an anthem for yourself. Lora had anxiety also. It is very real and painful. But it can be overcome. Don't force it and don't rush it. Play this as many times a day as you need to. You will get there. Love y'all.
I love Blue October and Justin because the music is written from a genuine heart.
I also deal with anxiety but thankfully the meds have kicked in. Prescribed Xanax mainly for long drives, don’t even need to take it anymore. I pray you get to the same point
Welcome to the blue October family!! We all have anxiety and depression and we all try to life each other up and keep each other going!!
I lost my husband 4 years ago. We were married 18 years. He knew me so well that I didn't know how bad my anxiety was until he was gone. How he calculated my mood. I almost left this world when I lost him. Our kids are what keeps me going
You had me in tears. I have recently been diagnosed with Ptsd and major depression disorder long term and recurrent. First time hearing this version of the song. He has another video that gave me chills and had on repeat. He sang it with so much emotion and intensity. It helped me on my darkest days! I know these are public comments and I rarely share how life finally broke me and took me to my knees as well changed me forever despite my already tough times I’ve battled before this! I lost my husband on April 9, 2017 and my life as I knew was gone in less than an hour. I returned home after 10 days visiting relatives, was home about 4 hours, we started making love and was standing, he hit the floor with eyes open. I was like what the hell! He couldn’t respond verbally nor physically. I called 911 and started doing cpr while screaming, praying, crying, begging, pleading, panicked, frightened, confused! It happened out of the blue and he was dying in front of me! It was happening to fast! 40 mins he was gone... I tried with all I had in me to save his life.... heart attack took my best friend, my soul mate, my life partner ... short version 😢 this song helped me process some fears and feelings on days I didn’t want to be here either..
Never take the ones you love for granted, never fear to cry, never fear to talk and express your mental or physical health issues! Life is hard and we are only human, we can only cope with so much before we honestly can’t! It’s a very scary and lonely place... when we get too embarrassed to ask for help or our pride gets in the way in fear of ridicule!! Tears running down my face because now I know exactly how others have fought so hard to overcome and heal their battles... and yet still feel hopeless some days
Beautiful story. I am very sorry you had to endure such difficult circumstances and heartache. I could never imagine what this experience was like for you and how it changed your life forever in just 40 minutes.
I sincerely thank you for being brave enough to share it on a public forum. You are truly amazing in every way. May God bless and keep you throughout the rest of your days, especially when you’re struggling the most!
I just love her. She always has the most pure reactions. Anxiety is crippling and debilitating. Prayers for you sweet girl ❤️
Girlfriend is breaking my heart. I have awful social anxiety too and it’s been so much as worse as a mom. I 100% felt her heart in this.
Thank you for sharing and being so honest about your anxiety. You're not alone.
My favorite band EVER. They have soooo many amazing songs, pleaseeeess do more!!!!!!
Justin, that singer has suffered from severe depression and anxiety his whole life and eventually went to rehab where he eventually reforms God and learned how to love himself and his family.
The documentary is great. His music has brought me out of the darkest times of my life to the best.
Incredible, true, amazing, so much substance and feeling!
I love you guys- your reactions are always real and honest. I love the vulnerability and love that you both show with one another. It's a beautiful thing! I'm not sure if you caught it, but at the end of the song, in the quiet part, he does essentially tell you to pray to get through things. He sings,
"Now Breathe...
And ask for more.
If you're bitter still...
Ask Him to help you carry on."
Justin wasn't always a real believer but had a life-changing moment in rehab that helped him find God and himself all at once. He tells about it in his Open-Book Tour, and it gives me chills every time. I cry almost every time I hear this passionate acoustic performance because I know his story (and mine) and I'm so damn proud of him (and me- and now you too, Jai) for persevering! Remember- We have survived ALL of our hardest days so far!
Blue October is my ultimate favorite band. Justin Furstenfield has overcame alot. His new music is so positive. Whenever I am feeling down, I listen to their music & it brings me up....
One of the most beautiful and honest conversations I have ever seen. You two are beautiful.
Beautiful Jai! Your pain hurts me. Love you! Let Jason's music give you comfort like it does the rest of us B.O. addicts. The best kind of addiction ever.
My hero Justin Furstenfeld! His lyrics are the story of my life
He was an addict. He stopped using drugs to be with his daughter Blue. Which is where Blue October came from.
Jai, that man LOVES you. God bless your beautiful hearts and beautiful love for each other.
Blue October songs make me cry too😟. I have dealt with anxiety and fear since I was 12. Still working on it, it comes and goes. Good for you for showing vulnerability...I consider that a sign of courage and never anything to be ashamed of. It is scientifically healthy to release tears as well.😊. You have a supportive man. Bless you guys🙏
Loved seeing how real you guys are along with this song! You both rock.
Girl, I feel your emotions. I’ve been through shit myself, and when I hear Blue October it just makes everything come out, whether I need to cry, whether I need too smile, or just be in my own head for a minute. Our depression battles, our anxiety attacks, they can’t control us forever and there’s always something more for us.
Jai, you wouldn't believe who I am in my world and I needed to see you here. I feel exactly the same. Half, I mean nothing other than pure love and concern for her, and you. I am quite lost all on my own. There is healing in this video Jai, trust that your next great success is involved and through your next discomfort and uncomfortable situation. Stay your course, keep looking at each other and never look away.
Man... I feel what your saying Jai. I’m a Navy Vet with PTSD and it kills me to know what I can’t do with my with because of the anxiety that kicks in when I’m in crowded areas. Sometimes we can’t even eat out because I can’t find a seat I can sit in and not freak out. And that’s just scratching the surface. My wife is amazing and has never made me feel bad or weird for what I’m going through. Keep on pushing! It sounds like you got a great man who’s supportive and will be with you through it.
Justin...the singer has overcome many obstacles in his life. The band is from Houston, Tx. as am I... Justin lyrics are so interesting and intense and very therapeutic too. You need to get Blue October's CDs and listen to them. I had the Hate Me CD for about 2 years in my car and never took it out. It helped me change my life and the road I was going down.
Luv you guys!!!
Awww, Jai I feel you. I have PTSD and Panic Disorder. This song is a gift to those of us that struggle with the day to day life others take for granted. It takes a lot to get me out of my house, and out into the world every single day, but I do it. And every day is a victory even if all I did was go to the gas station. I'm so happy you found this song. ❤️ Much love to you. ❤️ #goodvibestribe
Half is the best name for your partner. He is the other Half of your heart. When you feel the beast (anxiety) approaching, cut it in half by feeding off your mans emotion. Together you can overcome. Knowing you have someone there to fight with you makes you twice as strong. God bless you 2.
Love your commitment to Jai. You’re one of a kind. Jai as long as you have Half by your side your going get thru it. I appreciate y’all honesty. Love y’all!!
you two draw me in, and I love it. The anxiety never goes away, it’s the daily fight to work past a trigger, every time it’s coming; just keep moving on. At 61, it’s still here and has been a thing since my 20’s. It’s about challenging yourself and knowing that you’re solid, we breathe through it. Keep going ...!
