I hope one of you reads this. Please, one of the remaining members of the band, or someone who can get a message back to the band. I wish to thank you. You created our song. Calling You was the song my husband sent me nearly a decade ago when we were new. He lived in Indiana and I in Michigan so there was much Skyping, many emails, so many links exchanged. He sent me Calling You as one of his early proclamations. The lyrics fit him to an essential, perfect tee. I adored the song, listened to it over and again. It became Our Song. Forward nearly five years to me in a sterile, bright ICU room, holding Aric's hand, stroking the back of it, feeling the veins and knuckles. Or a hand on his leg or foot, eyes moving over his face, up to the monitor that measured the pressure in his brain, eyes back to his face, singing. I softly sang over and again, "I can't be-lieve you actually picked meee." Over, the song, the lyrics from me to him, so apt. So perfect. "I'm so in love with you, they can't take that away." He died that day, and Calling You went deep inside to my core where it rested with the essential bits of me that survived his death. I was destroyed by his death except for those small portions that lingered near my core. Slowly emerging, rebuilding, recovering, I reclaimed a lot of myself. Most of myself. There are still things, places, activities, too painful to endure. This was one of them. Until today. This morning I listened to the entire song. Sobbing, smiling, looking at his photo a blur from tears. Click to replay. A third time. Rocking to the music, volume up in my headphones. Over and again. I"d asked him to send me a song this morning. He does that, sends me songs. I'll wake up with a song playing in my head. This morning I asked for one, smiling, waiting quietly. This one began to play. Oh shit, really? "Th-that one?" Okay. So I listened. I was able to! This song remains our truth. The love has never wavered. It never will. I'm so in love with him, he so in love with, no one, nothing will take that away. Not even death. Thank you Blue October for creating our truth sung to perfection.
Marianne Wade It makes me so happy that this song could touch you and your husband in such a beautiful, heart warming way. You are completely right by saying nothing can ever take him away. Sending lots of love and happiness your way from NC!
Did you know that Smile is a code name for a miracle. So Everytime you here the word know that God is performing a miracle in that very moment by being present in that moment is a present in itself.
Rest in Peace my love, Mark. 7/1/2010. I shared this song with my baby in March of this year, made his day. Listened to it almost everyday feeling on top of the world with him until the very day he passed. This song will ALWAYS be a memory of him, makes me cry every time I listen to it now. It's so beautiful.
It's something I can't quite explain I'm so in love with you You'll never take that away And if I've said a hundred times before Expect a thousand more You'll never take that away So expect me to be Calling you to see If you're okay when I'm not around Asking "if you love me" I love the way you make it sound Calling you to see Do I try too hard to make you smile? To make a smile Well I will keep calling you to see If you're sleeping are you're dreaming If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me I can't believe you actually picked me I thought that the world had lost it's sway (It's so hard sometimes) Then I fell in love with you (Then came you) And you took that away (It's not so difficult The world is not so difficult) You take away the old Show me the new And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you So while I'm on this phone A hundred miles from home I'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you I only want to see If you're okay when I'm not around Asking "if you love me" I love the way you make it sound Calling you to see Do I try too hard to make you smile? To make a smile Well I will keep calling you to see If you're sleeping are you're dreaming If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me I can't believe you actually picked me Well I will keep calling you to see If you're sleeping are you're dreaming If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me I can't believe you actually picked me Well I will keep calling you to see If you're sleeping are you're dreaming If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me I can't believe you actually picked me Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Blue October is really such an unappreciated band. I am just now rediscovering how much I like them. Putting a number of their older tracks at the top of my playlists again. Almost like discovering new music. So much passion and emotion in their music. I need to see them in concert for sure one day!
My boyfriend is going into the air force, he puts songs on the favorites on this youtube account so I can go listen to them, and he put this song on here.It's going to be a rough 6 months that he will be away.I love you Phil :)
There's another version featuring a man who pretends to be blind & saves loads of people. But whatever graphica fo with it, the song is amazing & I dance with my sweetheart at our wedding to this. It was our first dance song. Thank you Blue October.
The love of my life won't be home for 16yrs this is our song on the days I miss him the most i listen to this on repeat🥰 I know he feels the same.. our love story came outta nowhere nd that's the best kind. Hopefully I get to see them in concert this April ♥️♥️
In 2005, I was browsing through songs suggested to me on TH-cam and I found this video. I am thankful I did because I became a fan for life!! Thank you!!! One of the greatest bands ever. I also love my Blue Family!!
When this song came out in 2007, I sent it to my best friend in high school via MySpace message. We ended up having a 10 year relationship and it was some of the best years of my life. I’m 31 now with a family of my own and this is the first time I’ve heard this song all the way through in years. I’ve happily moved on, but there’s a part of me that will never stop loving him and what we had together. Good times in this life ❤️
Remember you are always good enough just some people don’t deserve who you are and it’s not your job to make someone understand your worth ,just love your self and you will fine your someone special for you
I used to listen to this song for my first love... she was amazing, and I couldn't believe she could love me. This song really did express my sentiments quite perfectly. The awe of being "picked", your craving to know everything in their head asleep or awake... and for some of us the blatant overuse of text messages. ; D Love was certainly sweet...
Blue October is such an awsome Band, Their songs are Real and have MEANING....Not like 98% of todays GARBAGE the music industry produces...Keep Rocking guys!!!!!
My first wife passed away at the early age of 36. I've met someone and we've been dating for 3 years now. She's the best and looking forward to spending the next 50 years with her!
this is the type of song that makes you miss someone i hear this song and it makes me think of one girl i lost and i will never see again makes me sad each time i hear it but i hear it just to remind me of what i did have with that special person now we lead separate lives both married with kids to others i will never forget what we had and what this song meant to us
So amazing unforgettable, wonderful so strong and important messages from this song - For me and my soulmate very much important just 11. November 2023 and forever 💓🎶 💪🙏😇🌌💞☸️❤️🔥♾️
every time i hear this song it reminds me of the girl im crazy in love wit for the past 3.5 years..infact i fell in love wit her while listening to this...and i dont know how there are 24 heartless people who hav disliked this lovely song...i fell sry for these guys.
This is the original video from when the song first came out. I first saw it on OnDemand from Comcast for free, from the Music Choice section, when American Wedding came out. I am more partial to this version because it seems more rocker love song, and a hell of a lot less like a sappy song about creating a family.
We danced at our wedding to this song when you were mine... now you've started your life with a new husband and child and even though I know I will pass from this world alone,, I still wish you all the best on your journey.
@ifihadafulcrum I agree, like you said, this song does a great job of explaining the feeling of wanting to know why they would pick you over someone else, and wanting to know what they think and dream about. Definetely a really great song
this song speaks to me personily i used to feel the same way the singer does then i woke up to realty....this song makes me regretful for the shit i did the effort i put into it but over all i luv the song still.
Video is all filler but the message in this song is amazing. If I wrote a song about how I feel about the most special person in the world it would be something like this.
this song is amazing but i still like, into the ocean, better because it emphasises the beauty of rain, the sad, the happy and the mystic, yet his song does have a really nice tune, lyrics and video but meh i like rain more than explosions =3
I hope one of you reads this.

This is so beautiful. Thank you.
Oh man, that is beautiful...brought a tear to my eye.
That is the power of a beautiful song! He’s still calling you, even when you are apart. No one can take that away.
Reading your post made my heart hurt. So sorry for your loss, from a stranger.
Did you know that Smile is a code name for a miracle. So Everytime you here the word know that God is performing a miracle in that very moment by being present in that moment is a present in itself.
My ex got me this cd for xmas. In 2008 he passed away in 2014. Our son was 7 hes 16 now. I miss him but i have our baby. My first baby.
Talk about an underrated band!!
Rest in Peace my love, Mark. 7/1/2010. I shared this song with my baby in March of this year, made his day.

I hope your pain has eased. Sorry for your loss.
It's something I can't quite explain
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I've said a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away
So expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make a smile
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
I thought that the world had lost it's sway
(It's so hard sometimes)
Then I fell in love with you
(Then came you)
And you took that away
(It's not so difficult
The world is not so difficult)
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you
I only want to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make a smile
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Calling you in 2024
2024 is 😂🎉 freaking Great 👍- OKC 2022 hated Blue 🔵💙 UNFORTUNATE
I'm here
This has been me & my other half's song for the 16 years we've been together. I still can't believe he actually picked me. 🤍
In 2024 and always ♾️
I’m answering ❤
In 2005, I was browsing through songs suggested to me on TH-cam and I found this video. I am thankful I did because I became a fan for life!! Thank you!!! One of the greatest bands ever. I also love my Blue Family!!
@Pidgeon Man sorry, meant 2005. Man, it was a long time ago. XD
TH-cam came into existence in 2005 and I don't think it had a recommended list yet. Maybe you are thinking of a later year!
When this song came out in 2007, I sent it to my best friend in high school via MySpace message. We ended up having a 10 year relationship and it was some of the best years of my life. I’m 31 now with a family of my own and this is the first time I’ve heard this song all the way through in years. I’ve happily moved on, but there’s a part of me that will never stop loving him and what we had together. Good times in this life ❤️
My love life is falling apart I remember finding this song and thinking of us. Breaks my heart I gave her everything and I wasn't enough.
Maybe not enough for her, but you're worth the world to the right person that can recognize you.
Remember you are always good enough just some people don’t deserve who you are and it’s not your job to make someone understand your worth ,just love your self and you will fine your someone special for you
After 16 yrs of sobriety it's still hard to listen to this song. God bless Blue October.
This song has been playing in my mind for several days now. Glad I found it again.
I used to listen to this song for my first love... she was amazing, and I couldn't believe she could love me. This song really did express my sentiments quite perfectly. The awe of being "picked", your craving to know everything in their head asleep or awake... and for some of us the blatant overuse of text messages. ; D
Love was certainly sweet...
I love how this song starts off very mellow then just keeps progressing along musically until it explodes into pure rock n roll!
This the greatest Blue October song to me. and that new one Should be loved might be equal to this one! whoohoo
I'm playing this at my reception this year. 🥰 I'm playing a few of blue October songs because I grew up with it. ❤
This was me and my exboyfriend's song. I'm finally able to listen to it without missing him. So I'm gonna listen to it on repeat!
I miss my ex too this song only makes me think of the good times and that now I am glad it is over.
12 years. Still going ?
right there with you
It was a song for his daughter.
Calling you .. again ! keep calling
love this song. i remember in high school my best friend jess sanged this song to me over the phone. we are still very good friends! :)
this song and record is one of the few that makes me want to just lay in bed and listen to every word
Calling you in 2021

My first wife passed away at the early age of 36. I've met someone and we've been dating for 3 years now. She's the best and looking forward to spending the next 50 years with her!
How does he capture how I feel so well
I heard this song everyday with my mom driving me to school in 6th grade. Love it still. Good times
Great memories
This is me and my loves song. Almost 3 years, with a thousand miles separating us, but still going strong. I love you, babe.
I swear, Blue October always writes the best love songs.

I just heard this song for the first time, and I cried. It puts so many emotions together into one song. Touching, but not 'cheesy'. I love it.
So amazing unforgettable, wonderful so strong and important messages from this song - For me and my soulmate very much important just 11. November 2023 and forever 💓🎶 💪🙏😇🌌💞☸️❤️🔥♾️

This is my song to myself. Love yourself before you can love someone else this deeply.
aww i fell in love with this song, and everytime i hear it, i think of my boyfriend. he's my angel who always makes me smile

Still calling in 2024
Holy cow! I used to absolutely love this song when it came on the radio, and im just learning over 18 years after it's release who it was.
I'm here in May 2024.... Calling You!!!

i love you justin
This song makes me cry, but I absolutely love it. It proves how strong love is...

We danced at our wedding to this song when you were mine... now you've started your life with a new husband and child and even though I know I will pass from this world alone,, I still wish you all the best on your journey.
i can't stop listening to this, it makes me cry!
In the best possible way.
My sister had this song at her wedding... Just love it :)
I wrote so many college papers to this album
This music video always annoys me but the song makes me melt, its so sweet... I wish a guy would sing this to me
9 years later, has anybody sang this to you yet? I'm hopeful!
@@RedRaccoon91 Not this song, but many others. Keep your chin up.
11 is so young, I'd do anything to be 11-16 again. Best times of my life were school, friends, and no work and bills :D
Blue October fan for life.
@ifihadafulcrum I agree, like you said, this song does a great job of explaining the feeling of wanting to know why they would pick you over someone else, and wanting to know what they think and dream about. Definetely a really great song
My beloved died last week and this was one of our songs 😞💔
I cant believe you actually picked me....💖

Barakallah fiikum 😂😂❤❤❤
Heard this song for the first time, just a few days ago. Wonderful. 💗
Maybe my favorite song of all time.

this song speaks to me personily i used to feel the same way the singer does then i woke up to realty....this song makes me regretful for the shit i did the effort i put into it but over all i luv the song still.
Video is all filler but the message in this song is amazing. If I wrote a song about how I feel about the most special person in the world it would be something like this.
Still love this song...someday im gonna sing this song to the person im gonna marry...
this song reminds me of my friend who killed himself before i got to tell him i love him..it makes me sad.. but it really is a great song
😢
This song is perfect. I love it and I know that alot of people like me feel exactly the same in this moment because of this great song. 5 stars!
I am in love with this song. I've been listening to it like everyday for the past year.
how about now
This song had so much potential...
Dude this is like a precursor to the Leave Out All The Rest music video
like this song takes me back to old days and better times
god this song brings back the happy days of my youth
My kids and I listening and singing along to this song while cleaning the house...
Listen to this song every day. It gives me hope I can find the right person for me.
How have I never seen this?
There is something that I can't quite explain...
this is my new favorite song (:
And if I said it a hundred times before... expect a thousand more
Never gets old
Hey Armstrong?!
Hey Armstrong!!
❤❤❤
this song is so pretty
This song is wonderful 👍😮
Calling You in 2024
Yeh, that's the year we're in.
This song and Dirt room is my favourite!
God, I love this song. It's my ringtone for my BF. It's a pure love song from a band not really known for such sentiments. Blue rules.
i have been looking for this video for so long. good memory of watching this
this song is amazing but i still like, into the ocean, better because it emphasises the beauty of rain, the sad, the happy and the mystic, yet his song does have a really nice tune, lyrics and video but meh i like rain more than explosions =3
if you have a woman, and you're not around her call her and sing this to her. i promise only good things can come of it... :)
I LOVE you Justin! You're a GENIUS
blue October is the perfect music to relax too.
he has a great voice
i love octuber blue excellent!!!!!
