Black Orchid/Blue October

[stoopi97]

My grandma was in depression when she found these guys. My mom went to visit her after the divorce, and when my mom returned, she gave me six of their CD's. We've all been cured. <3

[Shew8619]

That confession had to be a hard one to make bud. I'm sorry to hear about your mom, I know she was there to help you through alot of shit.

[EpickPrincess]

In the end everything will be OK.... so if it's not OK then guess what, sugar-plumb, it's not the end...

[alannaarmsrtong1]

this song means a lot to me just from the amazing amount of emotion and hurt put into it. its unbelivable.

[Schutzstafell]

Can you imagine all the tears on the ground at that performance?

[perrylanc]

This song. This song is me too along with so many of us. I'm hugging you right now and wish I were with you <3

[cjoey39]

@perrylanc :)

[tiggytoto]

Don't think I've ever heard such heartfelt performances as Blue October manage. I have Bipolar Disorder, and I'm really worried my 15 year old son may have it, he's self harming and having major mood swings, I hope he always knows that "he belongs to me" and finds something to identify with that can help him the way I have with Blue October - I know how much it feels to be so lonely there's no one there to hold, and feel so scared, and that maybe life's not for everyone, I hope my son doesn't

[musicislife1990]

Helps so much!

[january81986]

1:11

[halfnelson28]

HOLY SHIT, I AM BAWLING MY HEAD OFF !!!! Why couldn't they have had the confessional room last Saturday when I saw them?! Did not get the hug either, and I needed it sooooooooo bad !! :( This song is SO BEAUTIFUL !!

[killthequeen001]

3:05, i get chills every time

[protegechris]

This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.. it's so.. raw. "I just want to belong.. to someone... but maybe life's not for everyone."

[halfnelson28]

@protegechris I agree a million percent!!!!!! :)

[proudmexican111]

When i was about 15 I popped 16 Extra strength Excedrin pills and after that i layed down on my bed i felt all my body stiffen..4:38

reminds me of when my mother found me and i couldn't stop shaking...after she found out what i did she cried....I put my little momma threw a lot but she's never given up on me I was in pain but the pain of seeing her cry was probably the worst pain Ive ever felt....

[grymmspixie19]

I turn to this when i need help making it thru another day

[WakeTheFugUpAmerica]

3:50-4:05

That's gotta be the funniest shit I've seen in a while

[halfnelson28]

@WakeTheFugUpAmerica What the hell is wrong with you to say that? How heartless can a human being be?

You just help the stigma along about mental illness !!!!!!!!!!!

[berthajoadams]

he sounds like michael stipe of REM:)

[berthajoadams]

this gave me the chills:)

[legionoftheundead597]

justin i feel your pain....

[luvsda14]

I do not think any other musicians have ever connected with me as Blue October.. I have to thank my Winky for getting me to take a second listen to these guys!

[jeimikaze]

Things are a nit better now. I live in michigan now with my highschool sweetheart. We dated 12 yrs ago snf habe been back together now for almost 7 months. I still get choked up when I hear this song, and ihope that life has been better for you all.

[TheChrisG69]

I really want that shirt he's wearing.

[freelancejane]

"i want to belong to someone but maybe life's not for everyone" daaaammmnnn this song is soooo raw

[1doorhinge]

I could feel the emotion through this beautiful performance, Justin is so talented with his way of putting emotions into his words. I love Blue October and this is definitely my favorite by them. Thank you for writing something people can look too as a new beginning and helping people realize they can cherish something. Much respect to you.

[heavenkept]

Help Me LOOK INSIDE <------'-



[redpoppies2009]

wow he is skinny in this one.

[Cassie8810]

Yeah being bipolar sucks. :(

[snotty2345]

This song made me realize death isn't the answer. Along with a few of my close friends, I figured out why life was so important again. My heart goes out ot Justin <3

[spoonxoxo]

i love this song (And this video)

[tyger0603]

i lost my way,i heard this by chance.gave me hope.im not that alone.

[Mulder4life]

@tyger0603 I love blue October.....Justin is AMAZING!

[rockAbyeL0v3]

so amazinging beautiful that words cannot suffice.. all that can really legitimize this moment is sheer and utter silence.....

[summerrain8]

It's so beautiful and sad!

[beakoi]

damn. I listened to this a lot when i was suicidal for the most part of last year. Hard to listen to it now, takes me back..

[fletcherdgedfdsdfsdf]

@beakoi i know excatly what you mean

[smatthews74]

To those that hit dislike you have no idea what emotion or music is!

[smatthews74]

This is one of the greatest performances i have ever seen Justin is an incredible singer and entertainer! This song tore my heart out i cried through the whole thing! Blue October is awesome period!

[heavenkept]

"So Scared"

to the 4 dislikes you havent experienced LIFE YET "."

I thought i had "DRAIN BAMAGE"

(read my story) & Stay Tuned

Heavenkept

[meds92270]

phenomenal... reaches right to your soul.. I love Justin..he is amazing <3

[chasingthewitch]

i feel less alone thank you everyone on here doesnt matter who i am just that you help me.thank you

[kaffler87]

the most amazing song i ever heard....

[morsecode16]

the asshole at 4:02 has no emotions

[SoldierSide77]

So what is the confession to his mother in this song that he speaks of? That he is contemplating suicide?

[coollildiva1]

I MISSED seeing you in Charlotte, NC last year.....PLEASE COME BACK!!!!! Justin, we ALL LOVE YOU....The very first time I heard of Blue October, I was in the Hard Rock Cafe in Copenhagen, Denmark....& I misses you in Charlotte last year.... I cried when I heard the show was cancelled....Justin....YOU ARE AMAZING! Please come back to Charlotte...

[Cassie8810]

This made me cry. Nothing can make me cry. I've suffered from depression most of my life and it sucks. Justin sings how I feel.

[aerayna]

Brilliant...thank you for sharing it

[legionoftheundead597]

i think about my dark past when i hear this n i feel sad for justin hes awesome... i have bipolar n i have a bipolar mother n it sucks cuz we tend to butt heads cuz were so alike...

[EoynRob]

usually it does for me too..but I had this on repeat last night when I tried to off for the 5th time in my life..for some reason I woke up this morning and am sitting here watching this video and crying. Partially because I am sorry I was so stupid once again and partially because it didn't work..Isn't that stupid

[SanokoMiakE]

after listening to this song i realize just how far I've come. how far out of depression I've managed to get away from. music can heal so many wounds that you cant see with the eyes.

[dorianfromcroatia]

when i listen to this song and i realize how blessed i (we) are who have our family and friends(doesn't matter how many) ,but this song still makes my eyes water :'(

[derekallenmcdowell]

everytime...it never fails. I am desperately in love with this song. It's my last resort. It brings me back for the abyss and lets you know that people feel the same way you do.  It has inspired my next painting. Thank you Justin, you truely make a difference in people's lives.

[2929lol2929]

I break down every time i hear this song. Im so glad that people like justin are there to express thier worst emotins and remind me im not alone.

[minog007]

sooo beautiful

[tcstlrs]

i remember this song! i didnt remeber what it was called though!! :D

[64underground69]

Awesome music! First time I herd this song or band. Outstanding!

[tamlub]

I can honestly say how much respect I have for Justin and the band for putting the emotions that those of us suffer for the world to understand. I am bi-polarémanic depressive, I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. I have to remind myself daily that I`m not alone, and when I hear this song, or anything really from Blue October I feel inspired.

"Ì try to look at you but I can`t stop shaking." been there and it sucks.I'm so grateful for the resources out there that help us.

[prettyhatemachine85]

its the first time that i heard this song and i think that is fucking awesome, like it

[NeverShoutBlink182]

what was the confession booth?

[MsBabydoll1996]

god i always cry when i hear this. it says everything and god. i hardly ever cry but my eyes start pouring when i hear this song. i first heard it when i was going through a really hard time at home and i was crying and listening to this song for hours and its reassuring at times to know youre not the only one who feels that way and theres just so much feeling behind it. by far my most favoritye song for even any band out there.

[Tenari1]

@MsBabydoll1996 That happens to me with a lot of Blue Octobers songs, I don't cry much but his words always tug at my heart because I know how he feels. I have had depression and slight OCD since I was young, used to get picked on all the time in school. I felt all he's felt in this song. To anyone going through hard times just remember, it will get better. Just find that person that raises you up when your down and hold them tightly. God bless you Blue October.

[kevpk]

does a song get anymore honest than that?, so powerful as you say. Not many songs make you stop and listen but also feel the emotion the writer is going through when he wrote it. Justin has a wonderful talent born out of the pain he has felt through his life, its not just about great tunes its about helping others to understand something they dont understand. I was one of those, and now i understand just a tiny bit more. thats powerful

[ChetoDaTruth]

I never heard a band like this.. I want to see them Live so bad. Blue October is da shit!!

[djusbox]

why isnt this on itunes!?!? i really want it!!

[jessicamurd]

He is so hot. I know there's more to him than looks, A LOT more!! I just love him and I am so glad the Blue October is in my life. They mean a lot to me. The song "Congratulations" alone got me out of a depression. I love you Justin!

[AMoonlitAngel]

i love how silent it is, it's like he's in a studio..... even though everyone's lipping it, they dare not ruin his beautiful repertoire.

[heavenkept]

This Song is the most POWERFUL Song Yet! I just can't get enough of it .

It's Now & will be My 1st vid on My Channel Out of the 2500 vids i Have

Simply THE BEST (PERIOD)

Heavenkept.

[heavenkept]

GREAT Song/Video/Artist

Phk'n AMAZING (PERIOD)

[spoonxoxo]

Exelente!!!

Awesome..

[AndreC17]

omg so sad but really good

[VentureOfDespair]

amazing song and amazing band<3

[MegaJewels1]

God this song is beautiful...I don't comment on or follow any bands anymore...kinda old for that, but I just adore this band and their lead-singer Justin! So true and real...and the story of my life. As I posted once before, I have been BiPolar for 50 years...and have run the gamut of all he sings about. I still struggle with it...after trying every med know to man, etc, etc. It is controlable but NOT treatable. How many times I have thought "maybe life's not for everyone..."

Jewels

[Dreamcatcher0876]

AMAZING !!!

[2009doodle1]

Got to be the saddest song they sing brings tears to my eyes every time love it

[QueenoftheMooCowz]

made me cry...........................

[xscareddemonx]

I cry every time, a bit embarrasing when I'm on the buss or in school but anyway. This is so beautiful, I'm trembling. *can't write anymore because of blurry eyes and trembling fingers*

[Blueyedia1217]

God he is a beautiful man......

[WarlordLuvzMCR]

Couldn't have said it any better.

[matte957]

Was I the only one that saw the man in the crowd who had a big smile when almost everybody were not?

[QueenoftheMooCowz]

i saw it :/

[WarlordLuvzMCR]

I think he was a little happy on the quaaludes...

[Aries13m]

at 4:02 lol. I was just about to post a comment about that.

[blackscarlet512]

my tears r flowing.

[blackscarlet512]

powerful,emotional,moving.

[mylulac]

I so love this band!! and this song!

[erkod]

haha metoo.

[jeimikaze]

yes this song makes me cry every time i hear it. my heart goes out to justin. I know what its like to live with bi-polar, manic depressive as my biological mother is bi polar, and i am manic depressive. not saying that to try to be cool or anything, because it really fucking sucks balls when one minute you are happy and in a good mood, then all of the sudden you are at ground zero and you have no fucking idea when or how you got there, and you just need someone there to tell you it will be okay.

[MrDoomsday1]

God Bless you and stay strong because everything is really going to be okay

[jeimikaze]

Thank you! For the most part..everything is OKay. I get through day by day, with a smile on my face...and at the end of the night, I have a wonderful man here to tell me he loves me...as long as he is here, I think I can cope with life! <3<3

[D0cH0llyw00d]

@jeimikaze i'm with you. right there with you. everything is worth living for though. it always is. that's the reason we're all here.

[NnTldFoxRox]

@jeimikaze I know exactly what you mean, man. I just got diagnosed with Bipolar 2, last month. Random over the top moods one day, then crashing into depression the next. It makes my mind rage all over itself.. and I get confused and angry with myself. I turn to self harm and isolation because I feel like there's no one there. I really want and need someone x_x.

Justin is really an inspiration to me, and so many others. This song makes me cry too.

You are not alone, man. *fistbump* We're all here

[MikeTheReaper1]

@jeimikaze absolutely.

[MegaJewels1]

@jeimikaze You sound more like Bipolar mixed state/rapid cycling. I know from personal experience, as that is my diagnosis. No...it is so far from cool as to be more like on fire!! It hurts so fuckin bad, that some times the only relief from the internal pain is to release it physically! I cut, also. Not proud of that either...but that is why I love Justin and the band!! So much love and heart in this group!! They truly ROCK!!!!

Oh, and I am 51: so know that it is a life-long disease!

Jewels

[saitensluvchild]

@jeimikaze God bless you man. I am like you, although my Mother doesn't have Bi-polar. You have put this in such a perfect way. Thank you.

[fatsweets]

@jeimikaze Great song, but I must say you saps, come on don't let this song get you down, you can all overcome the problems you have. Just face em and fight. Nothing gets you down more then feeling sorry for your self, fight it and overcome!

[xTommyGirlx]

@fatsweets you don't understand what it's like to have a disorder, experiencing depression for no reason, it's not in thoughts... you feel absolutely horrible, you try to tell yourself to think about all the things in life you have to be grateful for, all the people who love you, but no matter how much you try to reason with yourself, you cannot feel their love, you can not feel joy, you cannot feel that everything will be okay.... then suddenly everything is fine and...

[xTommyGirlx]

@fatsweets you think the same things you are saying, why couldn't you have just fought and overcome it? what an idiot you must have been to go down like that, and for no reason. you don't need medicine, just willpower, and surely you were just being wrong somehow... so wrong. and then you're down again, and all of your hope that you had just a moment ago is buried so far under your pain, you can't remember what it was like, and you doubt you'll ever be there again... but you persist anyways..

[Ultimatley]

@jeimikaze i feel like that alot but haven't been diagnosed with anything :S

[lovinthebudds]

@jeimikaze i kno exactly what your talking about....me && my mom r like that too

[bboottzz1]

@jeimikaze Ok, I feel for you, mental illness is nothing to mess around with. So don't be offended, I'm trying to help as I too am afflicted, as is my entire family. Manic depressive IS bi-polar disorder. This has been the official ama and mental health board determination for several years now. So double check with your Dr to make sure he is up to date and has you on the right meds. They did away with the term and diagnosis of "manic depressive" a while ago. And, I promise, IT WILL BE OK!

[dncnglight]

Awesome performance, I love these guys! Shizzle0401 shoots the best videos too :)

[MiPedoteTUMBA]

WOW GREAT song! Perfectly sums up how I have felt before.

[booichliebeTH]

amazing song

[justinlover5591]

Would love to hear you guys play Black Orchid on the Pick Up The Phone tour. I am going to all 4 Florida shows, so hopefully you can play it at one of them. This song is soooo heart wrenching but one of my favorites!

[Erzahler]

This song is so moving, it brought tears to my eyes. Very deep and very profound.

[xerxerxex]

justin furstenfeld is a great frontman! B.O. is just awesome.

[xLondonCalling]

wow, can't wait 'till Saturday<3

[4melikeerocknroll]

SOOOO moving, I can't get enough of Blue October!!!

[eceify]

yea, n this is one of the best band ever! they play relly good!

[OxymoronicInsanity]

[MrKneeDeep]

4:28 - 5:05

Epic.

[guitarguy1131]

these guys are like one of the best bands out there right now

[musicxnicole]

I love, love, love the lyrics. So beautiful.

[PimpDaddyBen94]

like a melon

[intheflesh316]

lolol guyliner

[superchristian102]

I've noticed that the emo girls are all crying in this, and everyone else is having a good time.

I really wish I'd had this song the night I attempted suicide, I would have had it blasting on my computer. It would have explained everything to my parents for me

[1king4me]

Justin Is Awsome..Fuck He Just Made Me Cry Like A Baby!

[madder66mortem]

Very moving song.

[wormlock88]

beautiful

[richnplenty]

Just incredible after all this time and can only hope I'll get to hear it live again...

[knightlight87]

i think its crazy how their songs vary from songs like dirt room to this.

[royfan28]

Its cool to finally to see the video for this song. I have Argue With A Tree, and the audio is the exact to this video.

[chrissyinsanity1]

Gawd,,i cant even eplain how much emotion i feel from this bands songs,,,

its like holi shyt mannn,,

[zk8ers]

It feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest! so beautiful

[tiggytoto]

It could move a heart of stone

[sherwood786]

that violin guy is a super fag

[AaronWayneThorn]

i like his shirt lol

[Emowatch]

wow.. its beautiful. its makes me cry

[guitartist102]

This song is amazing...a lot of people feel this way. But OTHERS just laugh at it. Piss on them!

[LostDreamer15]

amen to that. It's funny how people see someone like this (like me), but tell them to get over it when they're ignorant to how the person actually feels. It's real, but people are too stupid.

[tiggytoto]

Totally!!

[punx567]

@guitartist102 The people are fucking stupid..unfortunatelly. :( They can't understand it.

[jigybigy]

omg they freakin got satin as a violinist

[annebackn]

ich find es ist ein total stimmiges video, ein toller song...ya, i like it very much =)

great...<3

[wtfusernameftl]

The song is amazing, but this video is hilarious my brother noticed that at around 4 minutes when it zooms to the 'crying' crowd there is a guy laughing in the background with the biggest grin on his face ever. haha way to kill the mood.

[awsomekrys]

when was this?

[Mariekesone]

Amazing Beautiful lyrics and music*****

You can hear he is influenced by Greats like

Rem and Radiohead, but his voice is his own!

[afauza]

fuccccccccccccck! makes me cry everytime,it's a perfect song,with perfect lyrics, i've never had this feeling since creep by radiohead.

[BaegMaec]

Oh, I understand what you mean very well. Does somebody know on which album this song is?

[loveandpeace8407]

this song is off of the album The Answers, which I found in a music store going out of business over the weekend. It's also on the Argue with a Tree CD/DVD. Both are amazing.

[pidgetthead]

the songs on The Answers. It's their first cd, and it kicks ass.

[reject2008]

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. So powerful.

[NightLocked]

look at how it effected the people!

This is really a powerful song and it amazes me that people really get lost in the words...it's like they don't want the song to end..

[amoexanimo]

aww this song is so sad....obviously, if you don't feel any sadness from listening to this, you just don't understand what it's like to feel like that and u have no right to talk shit about those that have

[frappadappa]

I have to agree with All4one1forall.... It is a great song, but seriously... SERIOUSLY... Emo people are the most confusing people on the planet, why cry all the time? Is life really that sad? Don't get me wrong, there are times when you just gotta cry, but jeez, why all the time?

Maybe I have the whole 'emo' scene wrong, but isn't that what they are all about? Crying and stuff?

Yes, I know, this comment will be marked spam, and somebody will cry about it. bah, fuckin youtube whiners.

[Slasherz78]

i agree with frappadappa about the emo thing i dated an emo and all she did was cry cause i didn't talk 2 her didn't love her wouldn't fuck her wouldn't hold her hand cause her wrists were full of scars

[tiggytoto]

Slasherz78 - perhaps if u'd got 2 know your GF& what was hurting her so much she felt the need to do that u could have helped her - I truly hope it was her that dumped u, coz sounds like she can do a million times better.WTF were u even with her for if u didn't like her scars? Far from her being the freak it's U who is the freak!! I would go onto u people about the problems some have with mental health but clearly I'd be wasting my energy trying to teach imbreeds like u a damn thing :@

[pidgetthead]

ya. i agree, emo's suck. but you know, justin furstenfeld is so not an emo. and i know he seems kinda like a depressing person and he is sometimes, but he's much better now.

and i didnt cry cuz of comment. =) lol

[davidclark76]

btw ummm tecnacly he was he was EMOtional had sucidal thoughts and did cut him self now thats what is commenly thout as emo so srry

[tiggytoto]

Do you know something, if you actually put any thought into it before you spoke, you'd realise what dross you actually speak. ALL freaking music is "emo" coz all music invokes an emotional reaction in people, whether it be love, hate or indifference.

The only people who use the word "emo" in the way you are, are damn media whores. The media invented this term to scare parents into keeping kids away from certain genres of music - you know music that is "different" coz it scares em!!! Pathetic!

[IrishAce8]

nicely put, especially the part about

"invokes an emotional reaction in people"

[mrfinntastic]

Justin's wearing an awesome shirt.

[IcelandLFC]

one of the greatest band around do they have this on dvd i want this so bad great song and songs

[redheaven008]

Yeah, I have it, it's one of the best concert DVDs I've ever seen.

[shotdrummerstix]
