In a world of auto tune and lyrics written. By professional song writers there is one man who defies that by singing beautifully and writes passionately we need more artist like this
I agree 100%! We need more artists like this. Justin has a special talent that can reach into your very soul and grab hold of you. I admire his honesty about the personal life situations he so candidly shares with all of us right to try to help people who may be struggling in their own life. Truly one of a kind that, I hope, continues touching people with his music for ever!
Terry, you are right about that. I can't wait to see you in person in utah at UVU. I haven't been able to get ticketsyet but I'm going to go and hope for the best
My dad died Oct 2021. This man's songs have saved me many times. This song is so on point. Beautifly. My dad was my best friend. My heart broke when I was told. He was the one person who loved me unconditionally. Also 18th floor balcony was my wedding song!! So Justin you have been a blessing. Thank you @blueoctober
I agree totally, same here..his beautiful vocal performance and musical talent along with being a. Brilliant songwriter amazes me.Music needed the. addition of Blue October, the gift of this band. Thank you.
I literally bawled like a baby. this song speaks to me on such an intense level and I connect with it so much. Justin's words reach into my heart and wrap around my soul. Blue October's music is perfection
I’m struggling with my depression right now and listening to this acoustic version has me on my knees, bent over in tears. Artists know how to put into words what we can’t. Justin you are too good for this world and I want to thank you for sharing this with us
Praying for your strength and peace.. even in our deepest pits of despair we aren't alone.. Your fight is not over.. keep pushing keep going.. God is with you! Love u. Praying for you
It's a plea against suicide. It comes from the campaign created by Jared Padalecki. This article explains why he created it: variety.com/2015/tv/people-news/jared-padalecki-always-keep-fighting-depression-suicide-twloha-1201451708/
as an addict struggling with addiction every fucking day this song gives me so much strength to move forward and try harder than what i have been doing i have no words to describe.
TheHaos1 for real why doesn't . . . when I shot the video it blew me away! I would for the whole world to see it and be moved the way I was . . . share the hell out of the video!!!
Thomas Guerrero You shot this video?? Wow bro, great job and thank you again this is absolutely quite possibly my favorite song of all time!! Life changing!
Zach lovett I was lucky enough to shoot it . . . I've seen Blue October a ton of times but by far being so close and getting to see Justin in that moment was awesome!
I was going to post this on the "regular" song, but I think this is much better. I am an educated man with a science degree in psychology and working on a masters in neuropsychology. I am an Iraq war veteran that has fought the "beast" in his head for a long time. I am doing great, have a family, carrer and focus on helping others that are walking the same darkness. Recently, a month ago those beasts came back. I dont know how or why. So in 20min when my wife comes home, I will finally let everything go. I was a kid, and after 14 years, I found someone I can let these things go with. After digging all of it in, I will let it go. And thank you, "blue october," I listened to you when I was alone and I will listen again because now there is something worth fighting for--- my family. I will let go becuse in order to help others, I have to fight them and teach others how to do so. Thank you.
Never give up on the ones we 💕 Addiction is around all over. Lost my boyfriend February 9th, 2021 to Liver Failure. He was a wonderful man and his liver took a toll. He was 45. Still a young guy with more years to have in life. I will forever miss him. We both were divorced and never wanted to marry again we had a great connection. We saw Justin in 2017. What a great band Blue October is. My boyfriend would blast his music loud. Neighbors never complained. RIP Jim we miss you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
************************ All my life Been running from a pain in me A feeling I don't understand Holding me down So rain on me Underwater All I am, getting harder A heavy weight I carry around Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to be afraid I don't have to let the damage Consume me, My shadow see through me 'Cause fear in itself Will reel you in and spit you out Over and over again Believe in yourself And you will walk Now, fear in itself Will use you up and break you down Like you were never enough Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up I'm up here I'm looking at the way down there I'm staring through the I don't care It's staring back at me The beauty is I'm learning how to face my beast Starting now to find some peace Set myself free, yeah Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to be afraid I don't have to let the damage consume me My shadow see through me 'Cause fear in itself Will reel you in and spit you out Over and over again Believe in yourself And you will walk And now, fear in itself Will use you up and break you down Like you were never enough I used to fall but now I get back up I'm moving on Oh God just move on Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to be afraid Get back up Get up Feel it, fear, wow And now fear, fear in itself can use you up And then breaks you down You're never enough And I used to fall Breathe Ask for more If you're bitter still Ask him to help you carry on. ❤️
This man has the most beautiful soul! I am privileged that I got the chance to meet and take a picture with this man and see him perform live! Blue October 4 Life!
Same here, i got to meet him when he played a show in Missoula MT, and i got his autograph and a chance to tell him how much his music meant to me while i literally bawled my eyes out.
One of the best songs ever!! I use this a lot for my therapy sessions with clients. This song has changed my life Justin, thank you for sharing it with all of us :)
Jesus Christ. I tear up every time when he stops playing his guitar. I cant even begin to understand how he doesnt burst into tears when he sings that part.
The class of Sting, lyrics like Bono, and a voice like Peter Gabriel........reaching out and making it all your own ... Thank you Sir, from the bottom of my heart. Your message has helped so many of us through the dark places. It is true.......God sends his angels at the strangest times, in so many forms. We just need to listen.
From minute 5:24 till the end I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Some of us can only imagine the battles and demons he must have fought... Justin your songs and words mean a lot to me. Thank you for being the man you are now.
I was very close to the point of no return one night,when my daughter sent me a link to this song.after a major break down i made it to the morning.thank you for this beauty.
I don't know about anyone one else, but from 5:24 - 5:58 ,, I can absolutely feel Justin's energy. I can't help but to notice my fists also clenching in unison with his.
I was craving this song today. Can’t get enough of it. I wish my brother could have heard the Sway Album he would have loved it, especially this song. I credit him for helping me find this band and Justin as an amazing artist. My brother loved Blue October. We enjoyed many of their concerts together be his passing in 2012. I credit this song for giving me strength as every day I try to move on the best I can. I’ve lost 3 siblings and it’s never easy but God blesses amazing people with Gifts that bring us so much joy and hope. I just want to thank Justin and Blue October for all of their amazing songs we get to enjoy as they touch our hearts and souls in so many ways during our life here on earth.
I also lost my sister in 2012. She introduced me to Blue October when we were teenagers. Shortly before she died one of the last moments we shared together was listening to their Any Man In American album. Those songs didn’t necessarily have much to do with what I was going through after she was killed but that album helped me work through a lot of emotions I endured after the loss. Justin’s emotions that he portrays in all of his music just hit home. She would have loved their new music and albums too. I wish every time I listen to them that I could share them with her.
Mother of GAWD!!! I can't get enough......I'm truly on my knees....and I don't believe in God. Please don't let this become a discussion....but, he writes his heart, soul, and blood into his songs, and, HELLO? Where have I been...Under a damn rock, not to ever hear this beautiful songwriter and singer? I am 52 years old, ya, and an old rocker...I am so blown away. "Today, I don't have to fall apart"
I was asked once by my therapist to find a way to express myself as to how I see my life at that moment, then how I wanted my life to look like, I chose to share this song with her as the latter. I feel 100 ways as I wake up today, to come across this today has simplified it to a smile, if only for a moment.....
This song saved my life after my fiance passed away. All of Justins songs and his personal struggles w mental health, too. But this song, man. Literally brought me back fm the brink! Yall are gonna think i am nuts for even sharing this story, but i swear to God it's true... little backstory here..... My fiance and i LOVED Blue October. Jammed out to them and Incubus all the time! Well, I fell into a pretty deep depression and then addiction after losing Mike on Aug 16 2005. Mike was only 20 & I was 19. Ended up doing anything and everything to numb the intense pain of losing him. Ended up getting pregnant w my oldest child on Aug 16 2006 w my "drunken hookup" then subsequently having 2 more babies after him. BUT in 2011 i couldnt handle life anymore. I was done. I tried at this life thing w out Mike and just couldnt IMAGINE going however many years more w a broken soul. My youngest was born on Jan 25 2011. My 3 innocent, beautiful babies deserved a great life, and a great mama. Not me and what I was giving them. My kids and I lived w my parents, they could give my babies a better life than I ever could. Ya know, the amazing things we tell ourselves when we just cant do life anymore..... So, on Aug 16 2011 i attempted suicide. Now, this is the part yall are NEVER gonna believe. I KNOW I died. I walked out of complete darkness and saw 2 men standing right inside this bright room. I looked over and saw my brother Brett. He passed at age 12 and I was only 9. I ran and hugged him and just bawled! Then he wiped my tears and said, "dont forget abt him" and pointed to the other man. It was my Michael. I was SO HAPPY to see him! Gave him the biggest hug and kiss. Told him all I wanted was to see him n to be w him again. That I couldn't live w out him w me. Then i said, "im dreaming. This has to be a dream. Right?!" My brother said, "Rachel, when u dream, do i ever visit u in them? NO! Only Mike does. So u know damn well ur not dreaming rn. This is real." I then asked Mike if I was really w them. Mike told me to take a walk w him so i did and my brother followed us to a small bedroom. Mike and I sat on the bed, and my brother said, " Why did u do it? Why are u here w us instead of being at home? U have left my nephews and my niece alone. They need u. they'll always need u. I'll let u 2 talk now. But I love u Rachey poo (which is what they used to call me when I was little), " then left and shut the door. I looked at Mike and told him I was so happy he was there. But i wanted proof, undeniable proof he was really there. He said he would gove me that, then said, "Can u feel me touching u rn? How about this? "as he kissed my forehead. Yep, it was real. I felt everything. Him and I sat and just talked about how hard life had been the past 6 yrs. How amazing my kids are, but how I felt like a failure to them. How WE were supposed to have kids together and grow old together, etc. I will never forget this part as long as I live.... Mike said, "Dance w me," n put on a song. It was Blue October. Then I asked him what song it was, because I'd never heard that song before. I knew all of their songs, just not this one.....we kept dancing and holding each other when Mike said, "u know u can't stay here, right? I love you so so much! But it's not time yet. Ur beautiful babies need u. Ur all they have Ray. I will be here when it IS ur time. Then we will get married and spend eternity together. If u stay here now, then one of ur babies will go down this same road ur on now. They will struggle w losing u so bad that they'll also use drugs to escape the pain. And it'll be too late if u stay here. U can't help them fm here. Do u want Cayd to go thru the pain ur going thru rn?!" I just started bawling, Cayds my oldest son. I would NEVER want one of my kids to suffer what i did. Feel the way ive felt. Mike knew that. He then said, "I need u to remember this song. Its called Fear. And u know its obviously Blue October. This is the acoustic version. It hasnt come out yet." And I didnt understand what he meant by that. But he pushed it into my head to remember it. Cuz it was very important to remember. Mike then said, "as much as this is gonna hurt me to let u go back, its time Ray. U gotta go" so i started bawling and begging him not to make me go back it was too painful. I then said, "why this song Mike? Why do I have to remember this song for?" He grabbed my face w both hands on my cheeks and gave me a smile, then said to me, "because this song is the only thing thats gonna absolutely convince u that this whole conversation w Brett and I is really real. Its also going to be ur personal anthem to get u thru the toughest of times to come! It'll be the one song that helps u to survive thru this hell ur living. So i need u to wait until the next albums released. Then u will have absolutely zero doubts and know we aren't a dream. That this moment is 1000% real. And so u know I'll always wait for u. And I'll be w u every step of the way until it's ur time. I'll wait for u right by that front door until then. I'll welcome u back w a kiss and open arms!" I then said, "I miss u so much Mike. Ill always love u, my cowboy" he said, "forever and always Ray. More than there are stars in the sky, my cowgirl" then kissed me 1 more time on the lips, then said "goodbye my love" then kissed my forehead. As soon as he did that, I woke up back in my bed and threw up violently. I swallowed a bunch of pills, was home alone waiting to die in bed, somehow threw all of them up and survived. That entire time telling myself, "wow what a weird ass dream man! I wish it was real, cuz it just felt so fucking real!" Then thru the years, i completely forgot abt the dream. 2 yrs later Blue October released their album Sway. Of course I bought the CD, i had every single one ever produced. Again, I had basically forgotten abt the entire near death thing. Until fear started playing. I KNEW i had heard those same lyrics before. I just KNEW IT! I listened to that song over and over just convinced i had heard that song before! I just didnt know where! Then it all came flooding back to me, i always convinced myself that it was just a super realistic pill induced dream! I pulled out my laptop and searched TH-cam for an acoustic version of this song....and there it was. The exact song I REMEMBER dancing w mike to! But how?! Its NOT possible! But then I remembered him saying he KNEW that was the only thing that would convince me that it wasnt a dream. That it all really did happen. And I burst into tears and listened to this song on repeat! Mike was right too, it IS the song thats become my anthem. I had gotten sober 10 days after I attempted suicide. I boarded a plane fm Oklahoma and went to rehab in Michigan for the next 6 mos. Even after getting home and remaining sober, I felt as if I was living in a fog. Until that day in my bedroom w this song on repeat! I've battled my depression and suicide w this song. I've helped my own children battle thru lifes toughest times w this song. It is now THEIR life anthem! I owe Justin and Blue October my entire life. Im so beyond blessed now, and my babies are 13, 15 n 17, and the most wonderful things I've ever done! Not wanting my oldest child to suffer losing me, being he's the only one old enough to actually remember who I was, I got sober. And I've stayed sober! Just passed my 13 yr anniversary in August! And I haven't attempted suicide since! Yes, my lifes been hard, and I still struggle w out having Mike here w me. But i KNOW he's watching over me n waiting for my day to come so he can meet me and embrace me again! After getting home from my parents' house Thanksgiving night, my 15 yr old and I were fixing to pull into the garage. We had youtube music in my car on singing loudly a Bruno Mars album (that is his and I thing. Bruno Mars karaoke). As soon as I started to pull into the garage, Fear started playing. Him n I just looked at each other in disbelief! Then the next song was mine n Mikes song. Then the one after is what they played at his funeral. I was a big puddled mess of tears while my son just held me. I KNEW it was Mike. Just showing us he was there. And still protecting us to this day! 🩵🩵 Sorry for the long ass comment. It's just completely surreal to me still! Thank u for saving my life, Justin! 💙💙
15 years as an inner city paramedic. So many screams and fear in my head. I could never quiet the agony that was inside my head. Looking for the answers in the bottom of the bottle. It made me numb just a bit but almost caused my family to be ripped apart. When I saw this video and heard your words. I saw the emotions on your face singing this one. I sobbed like a little boy. It poured from me. Needles to say I found God in that moment. Saved my life. Thank you for your truth, your raw struggles and feelings put on paper for the rest of us to hear and know we're never alone.
This was already probably one of my favorite songs of all time but without a doubt you captured the pure raw emotion of this amazing song and inspiring man! Thank you for posting this! brought a tear to my eye!
God I love and people feel and see the same things that's deep in their head that's for you Guerrero.. and for me... the greatest... rendition ..thanks..
This song hits home. I’m at rock bottom. And I just am trying to find myself a way out. Everyday is a struggle. Thank you for writing this inspirational song.
I know you made this comment 1yr ago but I pray and hope you're ok. I'm at rock bottom right now and this video makes me cry my eyes out and I'm a grown man.
I really hope you've found your way, lifes tribulations are hard but never give up! I have been there myself to many times to count. Just keep believing in yourself friend
First time i have saw this video or even heard this song was today october 19, 2023 😮😮😮😮 and wow just wow i have no words the end when he stops playing i had chills from head to toe like his voice was speaking straight to my soul ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ absolutely amazing 👏 ALL IMA SAY IF YOU NEVER SAW THIS WAIT UNTIL END OF SONG 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
This is the best helping song with sadness depression and fear most of all ,... This song has been helpful throughout all of mine and my families tuff times and I thank God for where and why I'm here at the moment. Thank u God Amen ❤️🙏🏼
This! This will always be a real song for those who suffer and fight the temptation of drugs and alcohol. Seeing the song performed live was Haunting, saving Fear and Hate Me for the Encore was EPIC!
This song touches my heart. Like you wouldn't believe. I want to thank you, and tell you, your an amazing artist. And a great singer, your music will always hold a special spot in my heart.. and again Thank You..
I've decided that my second tattoo is going to be "Today, I don't have to fall apart." Whenever I'm struggling, that's one of the affirmations I tell myself and I think of this song. Justin is an amazing inspiration and I'm so happy this song exists because there are times I really need it and it helps me face my fears and irrational anxieties.
I love to watch him perform. The emotion, raw emotion... so glad I met him. Was able to talk to him and let him know how much his music... his words... have meant to me. Shared a hug (pre-covid) and he simply said, "God Bless You, man".
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. By far one of the most beautiful songs in the world. How Justin can sing / scream with no music and it's so amazing it gives me goosebumps, he is one freaking talented man.
This is the most emotional concert I've ever attended. I'll never forget him saying a few words before this song and as he began the intro someone shouted, "I'm proud of you, Justin." Incredible moment.
justin has been blessed with the ability to be insightful, to be self aware of his own emotional being, to intuitively just 'know' how to express this through his song writing and music .. and he does this in a way that reaches out and touches something inside of us, we feel empathy for him, and we are spiritually connected .. we become the song and the song becomes us , we understand, we 'get' it
Blue October has always made a Major Impact On My Life. My Mother past away this past week and I Always Come back To what touches my soul and many others! One of my Favorites and keep up them Lyrical Heartsrings. Id like to meet an Awesome group like this once in my Lifetime . GodBless
He wears all his emotion in both is face and the way he moves. Thats why I love watching their videos, you see just how meaningful the music is to him and how he not only means, but also feels the words he sings. Incredible.
As a recovering addict, Justin's music really hits home for me, but this song....this performance, is so raw and emotional that I can just lose myself in it and find the inspiration on the other side.
This song means the absolute world to me. In a very dark place right now and these inspiring words are shedding the light that I desperately needed. Absolutely Love justin for his beautiful gift.
All I can say is “Open Book Tour”. Literally the best concert that I have ever attended. I have never laughed, or cried more at a show. My absolute favorite band.
How amazing Blue October is and this acoustic raw version is just amazing. This man is so talented. I'm wishing so badly I get the chance to see them just one time before God is ready to bring me home in that wonderful after life.. This one and Hate Me are my favorites so far..well now wait a second I can't forget about Bleed !! thanks for posting !!
It’s 2020, a perfect shitstorm of a year, why doesn’t this song have at least 100m views? If we can find comfort in some level of humanity, it’s got to be through Justin and this song!
Justin, I'm so glad you are an angel to so many of us. This song gives me so much strength. Your unique gift of vulnerability is a blessing to us all! Thank you for the courage you give all of us through your own. ❤
This song saved my life. I first heard it at my 5th rehab, after throwing a chair through a window out of anger. It was because FEAR not anger. Justin, you are influencing a lot of people with your music. Thank you.
Unbelievably passionate and amazing. Raw talent and emotion at its finest. For whatever reason probably one of the most under rated artists I can think of.
All my life Been running from a pain in me A feeling I don't understand Holding me down So rain on me Underwater All I am, getting harder A heavy weight I carry around Today I don't have to fall apart I don't have to be afraid I don't have to let the damage Consume me, My shadow see through me 'Cause fear in itself Will reel you in and spit you out Over and over again Believe in yourself And you will walk Now, fear in itself Will use you up and break you down Like you were never enough Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up I'm up here I'm looking at the way down there I'm staring through the I don't care It's staring back at me The beauty is I'm learning how to face my beast Starting now to find some peace Set myself free, yeah Today I don't have to fall apart I don't…
Justin IS a very nice person. If you ever have a chance to meet him, do so, it's worth the time and effort. Phenomenal artist with a really good heart and is genuinely HAPPY to meet his fans, at any time or place. My sisters and I literally ran into him and his wife on a street corner, when he was in town for a concert, and HE's the one who insisted on selfies. He especially loves hearing how his music has impacted your life.
My very 1st time hearing this song was today. I have ben clean for quite a few years now and yet I still struggle with depression and fear. I suck at expressing myself, Im an asshole to the people who love me the most, I push people away, and I let the fear drive me far too often. I am thankful for the man I am today as opposed to whom I once was. This so g literally made me cry and I have not cried since I lost my pops in May. I do feel a bit better now. I have listened to this song at least 5 times in a row.
Because Justin's words and passion inadvertently holds up a mirror of their fear and pain and it unnerves them. Safer to push it away, hit the dislike, discount it than to feel and have to face it. Maybe they will have greater strength the next time through.
I discovered Blue October a few months back, WOW is all I can say. I can relate to every song that I listen to...Since I was a kid I have had to fight and survive everyday to get where I am today. My car rides now are an emotional roller coaster all the way to work. I will be going to Portland ME to see these guys in October and can't wait! If your there I will probably be the guy in the GA floor section looking like an emotional train wreck.
I absolutely love Justin's passion for his music and the strength that shows through his lyrics. His songs always tell an emotional story and it's very easy to feel those emotions when listening. I've been fortunate to have seen Blue October in concert but I would have loved to have done a meet and greet. Maybe one day!
❤❤❤ Such an AMAZING man, poet, singer, storyteller, beautiful strong yet gentle soul. This is one of my favorite songs. It is SO powerful to me, because I have FELT every word in my own life. I never understood the weight I had always felt until I heard this song (original video). Now I get up, everyday and play this. Thank you so much Justin Furstenfeld for the inspiration and strength. 😘
Just found this song ❤ it moved me it gave me chills!! This what good music sounds like. I can't deal with these new artists new rappers their music just doesnt move me like this.... What a man

In a world of auto tune and lyrics written. By professional song writers there is one man who defies that by singing beautifully and writes passionately we need more artist like this
Terry Crews im dying at your profile picture lol
I agree 100%! We need more artists like this. Justin has a special talent that can reach into your very soul and grab hold of you. I admire his honesty about the personal life situations he so candidly shares with all of us right to try to help people who may be struggling in their own life. Truly one of a kind that, I hope, continues touching people with his music for ever!
YES!!!!!
Terry, you are right about that. I can't wait to see you in person in utah at UVU. I haven't been able to get ticketsyet but I'm going to go and hope for the best
the dude can sing but the recorded vocals on the album have a ton of production on them Octaves effects doubling etc
My dad died Oct 2021. This man's songs have saved me many times. This song is so on point. Beautifly. My dad was my best friend. My heart broke when I was told. He was the one person who loved me unconditionally. Also 18th floor balcony was my wedding song!! So Justin you have been a blessing. Thank you @blueoctober
I'M NOT SURE ABT 2021 BUT THERE'S A WAY SAVE HIM HIS HEART RESTART BEATING IM AFRAID JUDGEMENT UPON JUSTIN MERMAN @ ❤️

Stay strong and have faith in God. God brings artists like this in our lives for a reason. Music is very therapeutic.
Praying for your strength and peace.. even in our deepest pits of despair we aren't alone.. Your fight is not over.. keep pushing keep going.. God is with you! Love u. Praying for you

TheHaos1 for real why doesn't . . . when I shot the video it blew me away! I would for the whole world to see it and be moved the way I was . . . share the hell out of the video!!!
Thomas Guerrero You shot this video?? Wow bro, great job and thank you again this is absolutely quite possibly my favorite song of all time!! Life changing!
TheHaos1 You and the rest of us will just have to share the shit out of it on our social media accounts. Huge fan keep up the good work!
Zach lovett I was lucky enough to shoot it . . . I've seen Blue October a ton of times but by far being so close and getting to see Justin in that moment was awesome!
Thomas Guerrero you are SO lucky,man!
I was going to post this on the "regular" song, but I think this is much better. I am an educated man with a science degree in psychology and working on a masters in neuropsychology.
I am an Iraq war veteran that has fought the "beast" in his head for a long time. I am doing great, have a family, carrer and focus on helping others that are walking the same darkness.
Recently, a month ago those beasts came back. I dont know how or why. So in 20min when my wife comes home, I will finally let everything go. I was a kid, and after 14 years, I found someone I can let these things go with. After digging all of it in, I will let it go. And thank you, "blue october," I listened to you when I was alone and I will listen again because now there is something worth fighting for--- my family.
I will let go becuse in order to help others, I have to fight them and teach others how to do so. Thank you.
Never give up on the ones we 💕 Addiction is around all over. Lost my boyfriend February 9th, 2021 to Liver Failure. He was a wonderful man and his liver took a toll. He was 45. Still a young guy with more years to have in life. I will forever miss him. We both were divorced and never wanted to marry again we had a great connection. We saw Justin in 2017. What a great band Blue October is. My boyfriend would blast his music loud. Neighbors never complained. RIP Jim we miss you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤
************************
All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down
So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage
Consume me,
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up
I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me
The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free, yeah
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
And now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
I used to fall but now I get back up
I'm moving on
Oh God just move on
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
Get back up
Get up
Feel it, fear, wow
And now fear, fear in itself can use you up
And then breaks you down
You're never enough
And I used to fall
Breathe
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask him to help you carry on. ❤️
These lyrics hit an emotional chord so deep that it can only be felt & heard by your heart
Probably THE most passionate and pure acoustic performance of a song I have ever heard. In joyful tears.
BRO had to move that mic back a foot and still roared through my soul. What a great song and I love this man.
This man has the most beautiful soul! I am privileged that I got the chance to meet and take a picture with this man and see him perform live! Blue October 4 Life!
Same here, i got to meet him when he played a show in Missoula MT, and i got his autograph and a chance to tell him how much his music meant to me while i literally bawled my eyes out.
Kelly
In love with this voice. Simple
Simple but there is soooo much behind it. I love it too. Thanks.
Thankyou.
Have you reacted to this on your channel?
Same.
Yes 🙏🏼
One of the best songs ever!! I use this a lot for my therapy sessions with clients. This song has changed my life Justin, thank you for sharing it with all of us :)
Jesus Christ. I tear up every time when he stops playing his guitar. I cant even begin to understand how he doesnt burst into tears when he sings that part.
He has no more years. He beat fear. No more. I know where he's been. I feel him 💯. That's a man on fire.
❤❤❤
He leaves the crying to the fans. I cry every time yet I can't stop listening to this song
@@rodolfocarrillo7438 I can only hope to be such a man. No fear. No tears. On fire. Almost there now.
The class of Sting, lyrics like Bono, and a voice like Peter Gabriel........reaching out and making it all your own ... Thank you Sir, from the bottom of my heart. Your message has helped so many of us through the dark places. It is true.......God sends his angels at the strangest times, in so many forms. We just need to listen.
Wow. I can't breathe. That was loaded with PASSION!
From minute 5:24 till the end I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Some of us can only imagine the battles and demons he must have fought... Justin your songs and words mean a lot to me. Thank you for being the man you are now.
Worry list for me live.all time favourite. But that's class
Every now and then I come back to this song cos this is what pure perfection sounds like ... everything about it is amazing
I was very close to the point of no return one night,when my daughter sent me a link to this song.after a major break down i made it to the morning.thank you for this beauty.
There isn't an artist alive today that presents himself or herself as they are.........no BS like this man.......I love it....
I don't know about anyone one else, but from 5:24 - 5:58 ,, I can absolutely feel Justin's energy. I can't help but to notice my fists also clenching in unison with his.
ItZWaffleS420 the build-up of 4:48 hit me hard
FailWaffleS yes!!!!!!
But the last few lines are literally some of my favorite lyrics ever written!!
He was amazing then. I felt that he wanted to tell.
FailWaffleS cris young
I was craving this song today. Can’t get enough of it. I wish my brother could have heard the Sway Album he would have loved it, especially this song. I credit him for helping me find this band and Justin as an amazing artist. My brother loved Blue October. We enjoyed many of their concerts together be his passing in 2012. I credit this song for giving me strength as every day I try to move on the best I can. I’ve lost 3 siblings and it’s never easy but God blesses amazing people with Gifts that bring us so much joy and hope. I just want to thank Justin and Blue October for all of their amazing songs we get to enjoy as they touch our hearts and souls in so many ways during our life here on earth.
I also lost my sister in 2012. She introduced me to Blue October when we were teenagers. Shortly before she died one of the last moments we shared together was listening to their Any Man In American album. Those songs didn’t necessarily have much to do with what I was going through after she was killed but that album helped me work through a lot of emotions I endured after the loss. Justin’s emotions that he portrays in all of his music just hit home. She would have loved their new music and albums too. I wish every time I listen to them that I could share them with her.
Mother of GAWD!!! I can't get enough......I'm truly on my knees....and I don't believe in God. Please don't let this become a discussion....but, he writes his heart, soul, and blood into his songs, and, HELLO? Where have I been...Under a damn rock, not to ever hear this beautiful songwriter and singer? I am 52 years old, ya, and an old rocker...I am so blown away. "Today, I don't have to fall apart"
This song has become my morning anthem to face the world and rebuild myself. Thank you, Justin. Thank you.
I was asked once by my therapist to find a way to express myself as to how I see my life at that moment, then how I wanted my life to look like, I chose to share this song with her as the latter. I feel 100 ways as I wake up today, to come across this today has simplified it to a smile, if only for a moment.....
Bonnie Mahana that's powerful
Beautiful❤️
He is a great example of what alot of us is going through great artists and brilliant song writer

This song saved my life after my fiance passed away. All of Justins songs and his personal struggles w mental health, too. But this song, man. Literally brought me back fm the brink! Yall are gonna think i am nuts for even sharing this story, but i swear to God it's true... little backstory here.....
My fiance and i LOVED Blue October. Jammed out to them and Incubus all the time! Well, I fell into a pretty deep depression and then addiction after losing Mike on Aug 16 2005. Mike was only 20 & I was 19. Ended up doing anything and everything to numb the intense pain of losing him. Ended up getting pregnant w my oldest child on Aug 16 2006 w my "drunken hookup" then subsequently having 2 more babies after him. BUT in 2011 i couldnt handle life anymore. I was done. I tried at this life thing w out Mike and just couldnt IMAGINE going however many years more w a broken soul. My youngest was born on Jan 25 2011. My 3 innocent, beautiful babies deserved a great life, and a great mama. Not me and what I was giving them. My kids and I lived w my parents, they could give my babies a better life than I ever could. Ya know, the amazing things we tell ourselves when we just cant do life anymore.....
So, on Aug 16 2011 i attempted suicide.
Now, this is the part yall are NEVER gonna believe. I KNOW I died. I walked out of complete darkness and saw 2 men standing right inside this bright room. I looked over and saw my brother Brett. He passed at age 12 and I was only 9. I ran and hugged him and just bawled! Then he wiped my tears and said, "dont forget abt him" and pointed to the other man. It was my Michael. I was SO HAPPY to see him! Gave him the biggest hug and kiss. Told him all I wanted was to see him n to be w him again. That I couldn't live w out him w me. Then i said, "im dreaming. This has to be a dream. Right?!" My brother said, "Rachel, when u dream, do i ever visit u in them? NO! Only Mike does. So u know damn well ur not dreaming rn. This is real." I then asked Mike if I was really w them. Mike told me to take a walk w him so i did and my brother followed us to a small bedroom. Mike and I sat on the bed, and my brother said, " Why did u do it? Why are u here w us instead of being at home? U have left my nephews and my niece alone. They need u. they'll always need u. I'll let u 2 talk now. But I love u Rachey poo (which is what they used to call me when I was little), " then left and shut the door.
I looked at Mike and told him I was so happy he was there. But i wanted proof, undeniable proof he was really there. He said he would gove me that, then said, "Can u feel me touching u rn? How about this? "as he kissed my forehead. Yep, it was real. I felt everything. Him and I sat and just talked about how hard life had been the past 6 yrs. How amazing my kids are, but how I felt like a failure to them. How WE were supposed to have kids together and grow old together, etc. I will never forget this part as long as I live....
Mike said, "Dance w me," n put on a song. It was Blue October. Then I asked him what song it was, because I'd never heard that song before. I knew all of their songs, just not this one.....we kept dancing and holding each other when Mike said, "u know u can't stay here, right? I love you so so much! But it's not time yet. Ur beautiful babies need u. Ur all they have Ray. I will be here when it IS ur time. Then we will get married and spend eternity together. If u stay here now, then one of ur babies will go down this same road ur on now. They will struggle w losing u so bad that they'll also use drugs to escape the pain. And it'll be too late if u stay here. U can't help them fm here. Do u want Cayd to go thru the pain ur going thru rn?!" I just started bawling, Cayds my oldest son. I would NEVER want one of my kids to suffer what i did. Feel the way ive felt. Mike knew that. He then said, "I need u to remember this song. Its called Fear. And u know its obviously Blue October. This is the acoustic version. It hasnt come out yet." And I didnt understand what he meant by that. But he pushed it into my head to remember it. Cuz it was very important to remember. Mike then said, "as much as this is gonna hurt me to let u go back, its time Ray. U gotta go" so i started bawling and begging him not to make me go back it was too painful.
I then said, "why this song Mike? Why do I have to remember this song for?" He grabbed my face w both hands on my cheeks and gave me a smile, then said to me, "because this song is the only thing thats gonna absolutely convince u that this whole conversation w Brett and I is really real. Its also going to be ur personal anthem to get u thru the toughest of times to come! It'll be the one song that helps u to survive thru this hell ur living. So i need u to wait until the next albums released. Then u will have absolutely zero doubts and know we aren't a dream. That this moment is 1000% real. And so u know I'll always wait for u. And I'll be w u every step of the way until it's ur time. I'll wait for u right by that front door until then. I'll welcome u back w a kiss and open arms!" I then said, "I miss u so much Mike. Ill always love u, my cowboy" he said, "forever and always Ray. More than there are stars in the sky, my cowgirl" then kissed me 1 more time on the lips, then said "goodbye my love" then kissed my forehead.
As soon as he did that, I woke up back in my bed and threw up violently. I swallowed a bunch of pills, was home alone waiting to die in bed, somehow threw all of them up and survived. That entire time telling myself, "wow what a weird ass dream man! I wish it was real, cuz it just felt so fucking real!" Then thru the years, i completely forgot abt the dream.
2 yrs later Blue October released their album Sway. Of course I bought the CD, i had every single one ever produced. Again, I had basically forgotten abt the entire near death thing. Until fear started playing. I KNEW i had heard those same lyrics before. I just KNEW IT! I listened to that song over and over just convinced i had heard that song before! I just didnt know where! Then it all came flooding back to me, i always convinced myself that it was just a super realistic pill induced dream!
I pulled out my laptop and searched TH-cam for an acoustic version of this song....and there it was. The exact song I REMEMBER dancing w mike to! But how?! Its NOT possible! But then I remembered him saying he KNEW that was the only thing that would convince me that it wasnt a dream. That it all really did happen. And I burst into tears and listened to this song on repeat!
Mike was right too, it IS the song thats become my anthem. I had gotten sober 10 days after I attempted suicide. I boarded a plane fm Oklahoma and went to rehab in Michigan for the next 6 mos. Even after getting home and remaining sober, I felt as if I was living in a fog. Until that day in my bedroom w this song on repeat! I've battled my depression and suicide w this song. I've helped my own children battle thru lifes toughest times w this song. It is now THEIR life anthem!
I owe Justin and Blue October my entire life. Im so beyond blessed now, and my babies are 13, 15 n 17, and the most wonderful things I've ever done! Not wanting my oldest child to suffer losing me, being he's the only one old enough to actually remember who I was, I got sober. And I've stayed sober! Just passed my 13 yr anniversary in August! And I haven't attempted suicide since! Yes, my lifes been hard, and I still struggle w out having Mike here w me. But i KNOW he's watching over me n waiting for my day to come so he can meet me and embrace me again!
After getting home from my parents' house Thanksgiving night, my 15 yr old and I were fixing to pull into the garage. We had youtube music in my car on singing loudly a Bruno Mars album (that is his and I thing. Bruno Mars karaoke). As soon as I started to pull into the garage, Fear started playing. Him n I just looked at each other in disbelief! Then the next song was mine n Mikes song. Then the one after is what they played at his funeral. I was a big puddled mess of tears while my son just held me. I KNEW it was Mike. Just showing us he was there. And still protecting us to this day! 🩵🩵
Sorry for the long ass comment. It's just completely surreal to me still! Thank u for saving my life, Justin! 💙💙
This man told me, " I seen you down there, rocking your face off" and it changed my life
booyah, brother! #alwayskeepfighting
Amazing!
15 years as an inner city paramedic. So many screams and fear in my head. I could never quiet the agony that was inside my head. Looking for the answers in the bottom of the bottle. It made me numb just a bit but almost caused my family to be ripped apart. When I saw this video and heard your words. I saw the emotions on your face singing this one. I sobbed like a little boy. It poured from me. Needles to say I found God in that moment. Saved my life. Thank you for your truth, your raw struggles and feelings put on paper for the rest of us to hear and know we're never alone.
This song helps me through the pain.
Hi
Bom
Fastest 6 and a half minutes of beautiful pain I've ever seen he is absolutely fantastic!!!!
This deserves so much more credit than it's getting. I love Justin! He is so inspirational.
This is my favorite song right now. I’m going through a rough time health wise and this song I feel to my core
This was already probably one of my favorite songs of all time but without a doubt you captured the pure raw emotion of this amazing song and inspiring man! Thank you for posting this! brought a tear to my eye!
***** Thanks :)
Completely agree!
+BPgamer77 tears to me too. amazing song !!
God I love and people feel and see the same things that's deep in their head that's for you Guerrero.. and for me... the greatest... rendition ..thanks..
This song hits home. I’m at rock bottom. And I just am trying to find myself a way out. Everyday is a struggle. Thank you for writing this inspirational song.
I know you made this comment 1yr ago but I pray and hope you're ok. I'm at rock bottom right now and this video makes me cry my eyes out and I'm a grown man.
I really hope you've found your way, lifes tribulations are hard but never give up! I have been there myself to many times to count. Just keep believing in yourself friend
First time i have saw this video or even heard this song was today october 19, 2023 😮😮😮😮 and wow just wow i have no words the end when he stops playing i had chills from head to toe like his voice was speaking straight to my soul ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ absolutely amazing 👏 ALL IMA SAY IF YOU NEVER SAW THIS WAIT UNTIL END OF SONG 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
This is the best helping song with sadness depression and fear most of all ,... This song has been helpful throughout all of mine and my families tuff times and I thank God for where and why I'm here at the moment. Thank u God Amen ❤️🙏🏼
Justin is the whole package. Vocals, kind to fans and supports his band
Wow! Tears!!! This man & his amazing talent for songwriting helped ME save my life...
This! This will always be a real song for those who suffer and fight the temptation of drugs and alcohol. Seeing the song performed live was Haunting, saving Fear and Hate Me for the Encore was EPIC!
This song touches my heart. Like you wouldn't believe. I want to thank you, and tell you, your an amazing artist. And a great singer, your music will always hold a special spot in my heart.. and again Thank You..
This song means the world to me, it makes me cry, smile and helps me believe their is a light at the end of the tunnel.
No words to describe this feelings, just masterpiece
I've decided that my second tattoo is going to be "Today, I don't have to fall apart." Whenever I'm struggling, that's one of the affirmations I tell myself and I think of this song. Justin is an amazing inspiration and I'm so happy this song exists because there are times I really need it and it helps me face my fears and irrational anxieties.
I love to watch him perform. The emotion, raw emotion... so glad I met him. Was able to talk to him and let him know how much his music... his words... have meant to me. Shared a hug (pre-covid) and he simply said, "God Bless You, man".
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. By far one of the most beautiful songs in the world. How Justin can sing / scream with no music and it's so amazing it gives me goosebumps, he is one freaking talented man.
This is the most emotional concert I've ever attended. I'll never forget him saying a few words before this song and as he began the intro someone shouted, "I'm proud of you, Justin." Incredible moment.
If there was ever a song that was perfectly suited to a live acoustic performance, it is with out doubt this.
Can't put into words how breathtaking this performance is. So raw and emotional
Those who are just feeling like they can't anymore. YES the heck you can. This one is hitting in place I didn't think it would.
justin has been blessed with the ability to be insightful, to be self aware of his own emotional being, to intuitively just 'know' how to express this through his song writing and music .. and he does this in a way that reaches out and touches something inside of us, we feel empathy for him, and we are spiritually connected .. we become the song and the song becomes us , we understand, we 'get' it
Blue October has always made a Major Impact On My Life. My Mother past away this past week and I Always Come back To what touches my soul and many others! One of my Favorites and keep up them Lyrical Heartsrings. Id like to meet an Awesome group like this once in my Lifetime . GodBless
3 years later this song still has the power to grab me by the heart and help me get through anything in my way. Thank you Justin.
He wears all his emotion in both is face and the way he moves. Thats why I love watching their videos, you see just how meaningful the music is to him and how he not only means, but also feels the words he sings. Incredible.
As a recovering addict, Justin's music really hits home for me, but this song....this performance, is so raw and emotional that I can just lose myself in it and find the inspiration on the other side.
WOW. This is now my new life theme song. Absolutely incredible. Wow wow wow.
This song means the absolute world to me. In a very dark place right now and these inspiring words are shedding the light that I desperately needed. Absolutely Love justin for his beautiful gift.
Holy shit he goes off at the end. That was powerful
words are words they come and they go but during silence a soul speaks
All I can say is “Open Book Tour”. Literally the best concert that I have ever attended. I have never laughed, or cried more at a show. My absolute favorite band.
How amazing Blue October is and this acoustic raw version is just amazing. This man is so talented. I'm wishing so badly I get the chance to see them just one time before God is ready to bring me home in that wonderful after life.. This one and Hate Me are my favorites so far..well now wait a second I can't forget about Bleed !! thanks for posting !!
It’s 2020, a perfect shitstorm of a year, why doesn’t this song have at least 100m views? If we can find comfort in some level of humanity, it’s got to be through Justin and this song!
This man just makes me stop doing what ever I am doing and just listen! Not too many people can put across a song like this man does.
Justin, I'm so glad you are an angel to so many of us. This song gives me so much strength. Your unique gift of vulnerability is a blessing to us all! Thank you for the courage you give all of us through your own. ❤
Goose bumps.... Beautiful..... Just beautiful. Thank you so much Thomas for sharing this...
This song saved my life. I first heard it at my 5th rehab, after throwing a chair through a window out of anger. It was because FEAR not anger. Justin, you are influencing a lot of people with your music. Thank you.
The best song ever!!! Blue October is sadly underrated & Justin leaves me breathless every time he sings. Pure Perfection💙🙏💙
I lost my beautiful daughter on August 9th,2021 then my brother on St. Patrick's Day 2023, and my father on May 11tg😢
Unbelievably passionate and amazing. Raw talent and emotion at its finest. For whatever reason probably one of the most under rated artists I can think of.
All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down
So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage
Consume me,
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up
I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me
The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free, yeah
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't…
The song help me through my sobriety and in dark times.
So I say thank you.
Replaying this song over and over and over again. My life in a song
Absolutely Incredible I Cried I Just Found This!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this song and live performance is amazing and also this singer seems like to be very nice person
Justin IS a very nice person. If you ever have a chance to meet him, do so, it's worth the time and effort. Phenomenal artist with a really good heart and is genuinely HAPPY to meet his fans, at any time or place. My sisters and I literally ran into him and his wife on a street corner, when he was in town for a concert, and HE's the one who insisted on selfies. He especially loves hearing how his music has impacted your life.
Justin and the whole band are very genuine and kind people. I have gotten a couple of sincere hugs from him. So kind.
My very 1st time hearing this song was today. I have ben clean for quite a few years now and yet I still struggle with depression and fear. I suck at expressing myself, Im an asshole to the people who love me the most, I push people away, and I let the fear drive me far too often. I am thankful for the man I am today as opposed to whom I once was. This so g literally made me cry and I have not cried since I lost my pops in May. I do feel a bit better now. I have listened to this song at least 5 times in a row.
I’m back, listening again. This is my favorite version of this tune!
47 unlikes? How would someone unlike this video? Even the Grim Reaper would thumbs up. Amazing!
Now, can't believe that it has 217 dislikes. Something definitely wrong with those people.
Because Justin's words and passion inadvertently holds up a mirror of their fear and pain and it unnerves them. Safer to push it away, hit the dislike, discount it than to feel and have to face it. Maybe they will have greater strength the next time through.
Criminaly underrated. And it rated pretty high..
This song help me a lot the past few weeks...Thank you..
I discovered Blue October a few months back, WOW is all I can say. I can relate to every song that I listen to...Since I was a kid I have had to fight and survive everyday to get where I am today. My car rides now are an emotional roller coaster all the way to work. I will be going to Portland ME to see these guys in October and can't wait! If your there I will probably be the guy in the GA floor section looking like an emotional train wreck.
I loved & appreciated this song so much already, but I am so thankful to Justin for putting out this beautiful version of this song 💕
One of THE most heartfelt tracks and my favorite. His voice is equally as gorgeous as the lyrics and music.
Holy hell, when he belted out. These songs man, these songs. Keep you going sometimes.
I absolutely love Justin's passion for his music and the strength that shows through his lyrics. His songs always tell an emotional story and it's very easy to feel those emotions when listening. I've been fortunate to have seen Blue October in concert but I would have loved to have done a meet and greet. Maybe one day!
damn soo talented. I love Justin. I cant wait to see him live again. Especially for this song
I was going thru a painful Divorce in 2006-2007 when foil(B.O) was all over the radio! Been a fan since , truly songs from the heart
This is the best song written ever ... Period!
WOW ! man, im takin away, what a voice ! that is a singer, vocalist ! What an amazing band they have become ! Love Blue October !
❤❤❤ Such an AMAZING man, poet, singer, storyteller, beautiful strong yet gentle soul. This is one of my favorite songs. It is SO powerful to me, because I have FELT every word in my own life. I never understood the weight I had always felt until I heard this song (original video). Now I get up, everyday and play this. Thank you so much Justin Furstenfeld for the inspiration and strength. 😘
This song has kept this man alive many times. This mans music is a gift from God.
This truly moved me... This man is pure talent. Very few musicians now days bare their heart and soul like this.
The passion that Justin has in this song every time i hear or watch the video tears are in my eyes. Love this song so much
Just found this song ❤ it moved me it gave me chills!! This what good music sounds like. I can't deal with these new artists new rappers their music just doesnt move me like this.... What a man
My favorite song of all time. Awesome, gives hope. You see I am learning about Jesus. I still fall but I get back up.
