Blue October: For My Brother

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

My younger brother is gravely ill. He has been for many years. I know its not his time to go, God has a plan for him. GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER STEVEN!! I LOVE YOU!!! PS. THANK YOU FOR THIS TRIBUTE!, ITS PERFECT TO WATCH ON THIS DAY OF CHRISTMAS!

[Fummelpojken]

My little brother Tony is right now in the hospital figthing for his life in cancer, jesus christ he is just six years old, what the hell could he ever done to deserve this ?, And to all you who believe in god, there is no fucking god..

[aleuberio]

@Fummelpojken I wish your brother a lot of health, I am very sorry to hear what he is going through. I will pray, too. Sometimes, when you believe it with all your heart that everything will be ok, it will. No prayer remaines unanswered. I am sending you my best wishes and may God bless you and your family and especially your little brother.

[xMakeEmBleedx]

If you just reverse brother into sister, then this would basically be my story. My sister is pretty much my best friend. She's so young, but she has no idea how much she's helped me through...

[dadadajasper]

Ever knew a person that caught you, whatever the situation?

Even if the situation got so out of hand,

that the person would end up hurt or broken in the end?

That's my brother.

[tatia641]

this is such a wonderful video. really heartbreaking and so well done, the resemblances between the different scenes...Awesome job, thumbs up!

[JfabsatMcTX]

what happened to his brother?

[mscuteymonkie89]

my brother has aids and it reminds me of him so much !

[LiveLaughKill84]

"If only sorrow could build a staircase, or tears could show the way- I would climb my way to Heaven, and bring him back home again." Don't give up hope my friend, this is not the end

thats what my friend used to always say. chins up, kids. we gotta make it for our friends who didn't.

[Yourfrontallobe]

what happened to cash's brother?

[LiveLaughKill84]

@Yourfrontallobe he died in a whirling head saw accident, he was nearly cut in two. he was young too. in his teens. it was really hard on johnny, he always said that he felt it was his fault for not being with his brother to prevent it from happening.

[Yourfrontallobe]

@LiveLaughKill84 Thanks :(

[H2oo2ze]

7 of my friends (girls and boys) died in a traffic accident, 13-19 years old..

[SuperTruth77]

After my Brother’s suicide last year, I got the job of delivering a eulogy at his funeral.

I was a hacked off at drawing the short straw & couldn’t really be bothered, so just played it for laughs, with lots of jokes about him ‘hanging around’, being a real ‘swinger’ & ‘at the end of his tether’. Never liked the guy anyway!

To be honest it didn’t go down too well- there was a big row afterwards & my family have barely spoken to me since. But I regard it as their fault for letting me loose.

[jesslynne83]

River will always be a part of Joaquin and this is a very beautiful video!!!

[Jointerist]

My big brother died 1 year ago .. never been the same withouth him .. i love him so much ... always cry on this song .. he was always there for me when i was messing up things ... damn life ... he was 28 ... :( rip....

[detlefius1]

did he died?

[TheRiverofBelief]

Too beautiful for words!

[tiger1986able]

R-I-P River we all <3 nd miss u u were my fave actor in stand by me i only came across the movie last thursday night on fox classics i didnt realise u were dead sorry 2 the family for your loss

[lusine423]

I think you forgot that this is a tribute to River. If dont love River or dont have anything to say about him please visit the pages of Blue october .

[special1fx]

I know this may not apply much here.

But for you christian types, who are missing a long lost loved one, listen to the song "Every saturday" by Seventh Day Slumber.

Both songs are amazing and beautiful..and a dedication to my best friend, RIP, kyle, bros for life. -3

[csfashionista]

for MY brother - WAWA I love you...

[assholecook]

my brother died when i was 16 the dr. said he had a sinuse infection but he was wrong he had cancer at 19 i'm 35 now and still miss him terably

[edgeman95]

This song reminds me of my cousin we used to do everything together till we fought 4 years ago and now we dont talk to each other now and we're in diffrente countries

[KIMI1428]

RIP River.

Joaquin you are an awesome actor.

[November86]

absolutely touching video...Thanks.

Happy birthday River...Happy birthday man, we miss you

[Jhaileyhs]

Just curious, in the argument scene, what movie was that from? It was obviously Jason Gedrick but I can't find where he and River are accredited to the same movie anywhere and Jason is only 5 years older than River and he was much older than this guy or so it seemed. Was it River in that scene?

[basher5time]

This song reminds me of my best friends, all being girls. But They're the ones that make me feel whole when I'm hating on myslef and are willing to kick my ass if I'm getting too pissy and bring me back to reality

[theringsofmynotebook]

@lostinwarpdrive sorry for ur loss-ive experienced the pain of losing a beloved brother as well, who was too precious for this world....<3

[feracat07]

I dedicate this song to my mate who hung himself in 1993...I miss you mate.love you for ever, party time when we meet again..L

Lynn From Scotland

[DropDeadCathy]

This reminds of my best friend we're just so close like sisters, even though the title is 'For My Brother' She has always been there. I love her so much, she's helped me come out trough the worst of my break downs and brought me back on my feet. Sadly, she's got all these mental health problems and is currently in an Asslyum. Rika I love you.. I hope everything is okay .. This Song Is For You <3

[HeroesNightLive]

[zegoli89]

[k9saltire]

DREAM BUT DONT SLEEP  EVERY ONE

[bunnynose09]

My brother died just recently, Sept. 30, in a marine training accident. He was my best friend and I could go to him anytime for help or for advice...always... He helped me with so much. Everything is gonna be different with out him here.

[Anneke28762]

Hi Bunnynose,

Sorry to read about your brother... I can't imganie losing my best friend/brother like that.

[singingmaya]

@bunnynose09

<3

[lunanoir69]

@bunnynose09 I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I also lost mine a year and a half ago. You are so right, it is so different without him here. I think it's harder to loose a sibling than a parent-our parents are gone as well. All of the things you shared with your brother and no one else in the world leaves a huge hole. It's like loosing a part of yourself. Please know you are in my prayers and that I empathize with you.

[BaByCaKeZ106]

@bunnynose09 same here. My brother died on sept 12 & he was always there. I saw him everyday. He was my shoulder & I was his. I feel your pain. Sorry for your loss bunny.

[Amandawallace1983]

@bunnynose09 -I am sorry for your tragic loss. He will always be in your heart and you can still turn to him...in prayer! Stay strong bunnynose09.

[boomerbooth]

i lost a girlfriend over 20 yrs ago, still think of her to this day, been looking for a song that makes me 'connect' with her again, now i listen to this song most days and remember the good times we had, rip alison, will always love you babe xx thanks for the song blue october, thankyou soooo much

[WCSteeze]

hahahaha! when that goose flew into that guy's face XDD

[nightshade7206]

My baby brother died of a drug overdose in 2003. My heart aches for him to this day. I think it always will. I feel the words in this song, Thank you for posting it.

[negation2]

listen to chameleon boy if you haven't already.... Peace

[bibz93]

I'm waiting for them to come 2 Aus. Don't know if they did b4 but I didn't get to see them there.

Slightly in love w their music... Ever so slightly...

**is wearing a t-shirt saying 'BLUE OCTOBER IS MY LIFE!'**

Just slightly...

[FreakingFreaky]

yeah just slightly xD

but you're right, they're awesome

[TheNivekster]

Blue October is so underrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The good part of it, for us fans,is were able to go to small venues and see them!!!!!! In your face !!!!!!!! Blue rocks live!!!!!!!! Incredible lyricist!!!

[BabyIL0veYou09]

u love Blue October 2?

[TheNivekster]

You asked if I love Blue to??? I love Blue October!! I'm going too see them the 12th.. That is if Justin is out of the hospital. I need to call up The House of Blues and check if its cancelled.

[GeorgiaBoii32]

i love you.

[CardwellProductions1]

Blue October is the reason I play violin. Even though this song is about a brother, it reminds me of my cousin who died when she was 20 of a drug overdose. This year, we went to a Blue October concert on the 2 year anniversary of her death, because she loved music so much. I love you, Jacquie, and I miss you so much.

[aleuberio]

I'm very sorry for your loss..:*(

I also lost a dear friend.. illness.. he was 22...

take care of you x

[CardwellProductions1]

Thank you, your words mean a lot. The concert was two days ago, so Jacquie is fresh on my mind. I give you my condolences as well.

[aleuberio]

Thank you..

[urnotalone38]

@aleuberio ditto i am sorry for ur loss cardwell...

[mannwells1]

@aleuberio I read what you wrote and it brought tears to my eyes. This song is for my Sister, Magan who died of an overdose 2yrs ago. The pain is unbarable sometimes. She lived and breathed Blue October. RIP Magan Lynne Squires. 1976-2009. So young.

[joeashimi]

@CardwellProductions1 I 'VE LOST MY OLDER BROTHER WHEN I WAS 11(IT HAPPENED 14 AGO NOW I'M 25) HE DIED IN THE AGE OF 23 AND THE REASON IS CANCER...HE WAS THE GREAT MAN BEST FRIEND GOOD SON AND VERY TALANTED MUSICAN. THANKS TO HIM I LOVE THE MUSIC MORE THAN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE AND WHEN I SING, I THINK, THE SONG IS THE ONLY WAY TO TALK TO HIM ALEX R.I.P. YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU

[darkstar242]

@CardwellProductions1 Blue October is also the reason why I have my heart set on learning violin. I love the sound of it. And its ironic yet sad that I have also lost my cousin to substance abuse. He was only 18. Its sad when you finally realize they are gone and not coming back. No more seeing their smile or hearing them laugh. Thanks Blue October for helping me as well as so many others through tough times. Keep up the great music and the great message.

[xkilagramx]

This song is so dam good but yet not that ppl listen to it this is truly a master piece .

[ddragonfly813]

This song holds special meaning for my younger brother and I - Although I am his sister. We used to be so close and I miss him daily -For you Billy Bumpkin, never forget... Don't let go and I promise I won't.

[zegoli89]
