I had heard their songs, but it wasn't until I found his solo album Songs from an Open Book that i truly got sucked in. I've listened to that album so much. The story behind each song, and journey he went though being told through each song is amazing.
Ok backstory time! Justin furstenfeld is the man singing in the video. He is the vocalist and songwriter for blue october. He has been through the shit. He has severe bipolar disorder, was a drug addict, and endured a vicious divorce that made the other two problems worse. The album this song appears on is the first one in his recovery phase
Blue October has been my church for 20+ years! Their music has definitely saved my life a few times 💙 And, being a part of the Blue October family has given me some of the best friends I’ve ever had. The Blue Family held me close during some of the hardest times of my life. I literally listen to this band daily!!! They have songs & lyrics for EVERY situation.
Britt thank you so much for reacting to Justin's heartfelt acoustic version of his song. Justin is such an underrated artist. Justin has lived a life that many have lived but he has found a way to become grounded and his music has helped many people to keep going and not give up on life. He has a special gift to inspire others. You should really dig deep into Blue October's music it is truly a gift to all of us.
The acoustic version of I Hope You're Happy is one of my favorites! 7th floor balcony live is also amazing! Ugly Side, The Answer, HSRA... wait until you hear their violin player. His story about mental illness, addiction, bad relationship, losing his daughter, forgiveness and redemption is a testament to his strength.
I have a love and respect for this band because they are such good people with awesome music that makes for genuine loyal fans 💙💙 I'm a recovering addict and have also struggled with anxiety depression and grief. Their music has gotten me thru so many hard days and even more important, has helped me thru just the next 5 minutes. Would love to see more Blue October on your channel. I just subbed . But other than Blue October a request of mine would be to check out a singer by the name of L.P. . Her song LOST ON YOU live sessions. . Loving the channel☯️☮🎵💜🎶🌌💯
Australia here. You are a special humble human being, your channel is so diverse and you are not afraid to react to controversial videos as well. You are by far one of my favourite person to watch when it comes to reaction clips. Funny, honest, knowledgeable and witty. Britt Reacts Rocks!
There is another acoustic version video that is about 12 minutes. It goes deep into how the song came to him while in rehab. I think that is the version that was meant to be recommended. It in amazing story and inspirational. It helped a loved one clean up and now he is helping others as his career. He asked Justin in person during a concert if he could have his permission to show the "Get Back Up" documentary by Blue October as part of his counseling sessions and Justin said "By ALL means!!".
Justin firstenfield is amazing. Great song writer. If you listen to his songs you can learn about his whole life. And its so relatable. He sings with so much passion. Pay any day to see him again live
Please react to more Blue October videos. One of my favorite bands. Their songs are full of emotions and speak to your heart. I will finally be seeing them in concert in October ❤
Blue October is a band that people can relate to in one way or another. Some are ready to feel and understand the emotion that this band brings. But some can’t or won’t go there. It’s deep. I love it! This music is part my emotional release. ❤
I just discovered your channel due to your recent BTS reactions, they are my favorite group right now, but Blue October is my one of my favorite bands ever! You definitely need to watch the official video and go down the Blue October rabbit hole, you will not regret it💙
Wonder if any artist can merged 1.'fear" by blue + "lose yourself" by Eminem .....2. "Worry list " by blue october + "mockingbird" by Eminem .....i think have similar back story....
You should check out Lisa Fischer perform "How can I Ease The Pain" in Japan. She's great and not known to a lot. Thank and I'll wait for the reaction.
For an amazing acoustic experience, react to Acoustipex by Unleash the Archers. One of my all time favorites. I'm pushing 50 so that should say something. Please please react to this. Thank you in advance.
