This saved my life. I would listen over and over and over. All I wanted was death. Didn't see my daughter for 4 years. Worst 4 years of my life. I have her back now and see her every weekend. So glad I didn't kill myself.
I wish at least half of these people who commented actually knows what its like to lose everything you love and still love it regardless of what happened still be in love and damaged from it Yet still have faith to be a hopeless romantic. Cause i think thats what i am feeling from this song.pain betrayal hurt and love .💯💪🥊👊
I don't know how a guy can write a song from the darkest depths of his heart and then perform it in front of strangers who don't care without completely losing control of every tear that has ever been dammed up within the deep dark valley of love and hurt.
I was there and I was crying. People did care .He was looking right at me crying too. I hope he knows what it meant for me too. Embarrassingly enough you can hear me crying. I have my daughter now and couldn't be happier. Thanks Justin. ❤
I have been in a divorce where my ex made it really difficult on me when it came to our 2 sons. I know can see the damage that our actions made on them - and they are the 2 most precious things in my world!! If I had to do it over again, I would have fought harder for our family to help protect and insulate my sons from that pain. Thank you Justin for allowing us to see your pain.
Man, I keep going back to this performance…. Justin and his story remind me of my own father. Another man fucked by the court system…. he has fought his entire life to recover and change and love his children.
This is the most incredible performance not only to spend the hours I know it takes to write songs but then to perform it in such a way that drives it into your soul is such an amazing feat I will forever be in awe of this guy for this performance alone
I’ve made comments on this video before. This is probably one of the hardest videos to watch. I love Blue October. Justin is hurting so bad here that I can’t help to feel his pain. I know what he’s going through. I haven’t seen my child in 5 years. It’s a pain that nobody understands unless they go through it too. It’s a feeling of death. I can not relate to his substance abuse problem but I do relate to his depression/anxiety and emotional pain. I’m glad he’s in a much better place now but this darkness he feels and emotes here, I really do understand that. It’s what bonds myself to Justin’s story. I love him and the band. They are beautiful people and Justin is a beautiful soul. I’ve been blessed enough to meet him. I listen to this because I can relate to the pain and the darkness. It’s a hard place to be. Trust me.
Every single time I see this song, it reminds me of what it means to be alive and to feel life; and all the colorful emotions that come with it. This is the Justin that I love so much. I am thrilled that he has evolved over time but GOD do I love the genuine, sincere, transparent connection he had with his fans. The songs are SO raw and honest. In a way, I think he became too good at writing cookie cutter songs using the now signature formula that he even teaches to fans who go to his song writing classes. This is the version of Blue before they cared so much. Yes, I do know that Justin was also using and his mental health was kicking his ass. I do not wish that on anyone. But I sure do miss music from the band that really described how I feel a lot of the time. Their catalogue is so deep and rich, full of masterful songs. I keep buying the material. I hope they go back to a time when the music was more like this and less poppy and formulated. Just my 2 cents. GOD I love this song and this performance. GREAT is an understatement!
Bitter sweet that we will never see this pure emotion again.... only lasts around 13 years and they become their own person and we still fall apart anyway ❤
Me too! I sat at work the other day listening to it and just started crying. I used this song in a video I put together for my grandfather-in-law who married my wife and I 22 years ago and was not only a pastor but ministered to our entire family. He past away 2 years ago. I've never seen/heard a song with so much emotion!
Jimbo ReadDABible I’m so very sorry for your loss! He sounds like he was a great guy! Ty for sharing the story above. It’s a beautiful story! The emotion in this video is unreal! I’ll be here many many more times in the future! God Bless u
me encantaría poder decirle a Justin que admiro tanto el coraje que tiene para escribir de esta forma , se que no la ha pasado muy bien pero aun así trata de ver el lado mas positivo de su vida y logra sacar el dolor asiendo esta hermosa canción ... es un buen hombre y un gran músico lo admiro muchísimo .
@@munkriktlewis485 Got a little girl myself now. But back when this song was released it was something my dad would listen to, and my parents were splitting up in a pretty bad way. Was not a good time but my sister has a really good relationship with dad these days. Same with me. Took a little time
I see other father's much like myself who relate to justin's pain and love and follow blue october because of that reason. We get it . We feel his pain. Is there anyone out there who's been through this that can help me get my daughter's back? I'm reaching out from the dark place and desperation that we all relate too and pleading for help . This insanity, this situation,is killing me and everyday away I feel further from ...ok. . I'll never be okay again without my girls
I lost my trial two years ago after a three year battle with Cortland county NY child protective services. They have taken more children from their parents than all of new York city despite being so very much smaller . . It's a gross miscarriage of justice but no one seems to care. I wasn't able to come up with money for state appeals court so it's all over. My parental rights were terminated.
Sad to hear this hope your sorted. Pathetic the way men are treated when it comes to their kids I know. But if we make it to see them in their 25s to 30s then we have lived a life time. As long as they can make it on their own we have done good. Then we die and thats that 😛
Dads rights are too easily trampled. A movement on fathers rights needs to pick up traction. It really is very biased against dads in the court system.

That "hell no" has stuck with me for 10 years
Same here. Wish I could write more

It’s called a panic attack
Fuc*#*#*#*#*. Damn. I’ve heard this song and felt this song, but that performance drove it into my soul. Amazing.

Thank you Justin, you share your soul and your journey with us and I love seeing how far you have come in your personal struggles.
His pain! This is the best and worst version, gets me every time.
This was a hard one to make.
Bitter sweet that we will never see this pure emotion again.... only lasts around 13 years and they become their own person and we still fall apart anyway ❤
This is by far my favorite video to watch of Justin singing this song! I mustve watched it a million times! Great share! ❤️

I hope you get them back, stay strong, use the court system and read up on how to act where youre going. Youve got this
