  • this is the BEST new band out there! the STONES are no doubt my fav, after them, this band is IT for me. I love you guys!!!! xo

  • if only i could find words to describe my love for this band in all of its many formations.

  • blue october is so underrated

    History for Sale is an AMAZING album

  • Wow.

    That is all. 

  • i thank the universe for Blue October. 

  • 8:24 if you can't hear some raw emotion and meaning right here, you don't have ears, a brain, or a soul.

  • This is honestly one of the most beautiful, emotional, and powerful things I've ever heard.

  • gggoooodddbbbbyyyyyeeee

  • I keep going back to this one song because it is so powerful and beautiful. His lyrics always seem to connect with me, whether for good or bad, and the music is awe inspiring. I wish there were a love button on this, because liking it is simply not enough for me.

  • He has a beautiful voice. Perfect for the song.

  • @jey2193 duh.. they wrote it for his voice, haha

  • @graingersito There's no they. He or his brother write it all.

  • @Mfischer888 they being the plural form of he.. he or his brother. learn some grammar, dip.

  • beautiful mind 

  • beautiful mind

  • Just an absolutely epic band with fantastic music and beautiful lyrics!

  • 1 person is blind.

  • This needs to be on vinyl!!!!!

  • wow, justttttttttttttttt, WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW......

  • I was a all hip-hop fan until a few years ago, I love OB and this is my favourite song from them. It reminds me of hip-hop in that way it tells a story of another's pain but in a way everybody can relate to, the artist really puts you in that place

  • @joeolison215 i kno what you mean, i was the same way. now i have many new views on music. Blue october being one of them.

  • This is a great tool to help your real-self meet your ideal-self. Just keep listening and re-assessing. Simple psychology through the love of a great group of artists. This song truly IS amazing.

  • this song pulls out my soul and forces me to look at it. strikingly moving! I am breath-taken. 

  • @Yurtle80k You should become a psychologist if you aren't already. This song is a great tool to help your real-self meet your ideal-self, and you noticed that. Just keep listening and re-assessing. Simple psychology through the love of a great group of artists. This song truly IS amazing.

  • Such a simple yet beautiful transition

  • @GushingMILF They are simply brilliant artists, even more so live. If you cannot tell JF gets into his own music then you must be blind. Nothing better than watching someone who lives their work in action.

  • OMG I LOVE BLUE OCTOBER...WITH ALL MY HEART & ALL MY SOUL:)

  • Blue October; the group for the mentally ill. Champions for the depressed, the hurting, cutters like myself; if not them, then who?

  • @recoveringsurferbro up on my FB along with yuor *****comment*****

    Hope you don't mind?

    I put the comment with your screen name!

    if you are wondering WTF? Please take a moment &

    read My Story on My home page

    Thank you

    ****Just Me****

  • I was a federal agent until two years ago when I attempted to take my life: now no more fed. Blue October has helped so much in my healing of bi-polar; clinical depression; anxiety; and much more. They are cathartic. I love em. Come to Colorado.

  • being bipolar is hard to describe or explain to people....the guilt i carry comes out in amazing and the situations i find myself in bring on the wieght of the world....very theraputic....thank you blue for giving me someone who understands

  • One of my favorites. I feed on the pain in this song. It lets me know that I am not alone...

  • Best music written in 20 years! Argue with a tree took me in and out of places that I forgot existed. The dark places I kept to myself. There are very few groups that can really be call Alternative. This music heals. Real lyrics/music preformed by people that care about their art. Thank you for your gift.

  • There really are no words to fully capture the beauty of this version of the song. I`m in awe.

  • ive seen them many, many times and the music still has meaning to me. I only wish they could of stayed in the midwest and not gotten so popular, that way i could still have them all to myself.

  • "BEAUTIFUL VERSION"

    ! I Agree With Joesmithh25 * seveny4strat Pimarily

    & Everybody else Simply "AMAZING"

  • What is the percussion instrument that makes that beautiful, metal clank? Lol.

  • @heartlessentity I'm pretty sure it's a china cymbal hit weirdly. Like maybe from the bottom.

  • Simply amazing....i seen them live before..and it's just mind blowing how amazing they are..best live band by far. I hope they come to Chicago again I really want to see them again.

  • Amazing! I dont know why they ever changed weight of the world this version seems so much more raw and real

  • oh my GOD, that is all i have to say!!!

  • very well put Joe Smithh25...we all have different taste in music and out likes and dislikes change as we do.....But I can Honestly say I have NEVER heard a band that blows me away like this band does....They have awaken alot inside of me....alot that I have surpressed for many many years for the sake of others, for making others happy

    Now I have come to the realization that I am just as important as they are and if they dont like it or me then thats their issue....I am tired of playing pretend

  • epic lyrics.

  • i like it when he sings "we said goodbye" at the end... reminds me of my best friend who passed away.. i sing that everytime i visit her grave. she was 33. and today's her birthday. i miss her!

  • @SoyLaJefa Yeah, that's similar to why I love that part too. That song means so much to me. I had a best friend that I'd known forever and she's gone now. It's not the best feeling but music really helps and when I hear that and I feel the unbelievable change that takes place inside of me, it's almost like witnessing a miracle.

  • @passerby16 someone once left a comment on a Blue October video and it sid that "Blue October is a soundtrack for life". and i couldn't agree more. you listen to the songs, and even if it's just one line, you'll identify with something. and i know what you mean.. it is a miracle. it happens to me too.

  • @SoyLaJefa yeah, i really try and remember that feeling whenever I get down on myself about life. It's important to me. Music, art, creativity, expression, that's beautiful to me and it makes life worth living sometimes when nothing else goes well.

  • @SoyLaJefa the same thing happens to me to...all the time...i feel like he's been their all this time and now through some kind of miracle i found his music

  • Anyone else love the way he says baby at 2:19? I do.

  • don't bother changing things that won't give in to changing ...

    just epic <3

  • Fucking amazing!

  • this song means more to me than words can express.

  • I love all of Blue Octobers music, but the lyrics to Weigh of the World from 5:30 onwards are some of the best lyrics I have ever heard. About time you guys came to Wellington New Zealand aint it!!

  • Just amazing

  • so aamazing.. the whole band feels and is moved right along with us i believe. i cant wait to go see them again

  • Cool

  • F A N T A S T I C performance !!!!

    goosebumps !! speacheless !!!!

  • Justing was hooked on heroin for about four years...his whole song Chameleon Boy is about his and his friend's sometimes lethal heroin use. He does an interview that is broadcast right here on YouTube where he discusses it. He is Bi- Polar and self-medicated. It takes one to know one....and yes, he is beautiful! All around!

  • that would be Justin...my typing sux!

  • is that bassist a girl?

  • Sound's Better With : &fmt=18

  • The beginning chords Justin plays at the end of Amazing/beginning of Weight of the World remind me of a Cure song.

    Such an amazing live performance.

  • This is by far the best version of Weight of the World i've ever heard.

  • @seventy4strat this is by far the best _____ i've ever heard

  • To truely understand brilliance in music is being able to actually listen to the person or perople composing it, Actually being able to appreciate them for the time and effore they have put in to it to be able to perform their hearts and souls into it. I dont think any negative comments should be left on this page about this band or any band at that. Either you appreciate them or you dont.

  • @JoeSmithh25 WEll Put!! I agree!!!!!

  • @JoeSmithh25 i totally agree. there is nothing bad to say about blue october. they are just amazing. justin actually reaches into your soul....they're music affects everyone somehow.

  • On Drugs?

    This is about dealing with life without the drugs.

  • Comment removed

  • @whufcfan93

    you must be on drugs to think that these brilliant people are on drugs.

    as mmrules01 said, these guys sing about drugs, and how they fuk you up. also its about dealing with live with depression. im 23, divorced and lonely. even with a new gf. this music is how i cope and remain alive, without this music to vent with i surely would have killed myself by now.

    read the lyrics, watch the interviews, then, and only then will you realize the power of this music, and whats its about.

  • well put

  • justins whole thing is that he used to be into drugs hard core but he got out and so can other people... why would he be on drugs now?

  • search argue with a tree 1/24 and watch them in cronological order. you will be amazed

  • "Don't bother trusting...don't bother waiting...don't bother changing things that won't give into changing."

  • My husband is so convinced that I am addicted to this band. I think he maybe right. I can not stop listening to them. They are really amazing.

  • Same here!!!

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!!!! Too much hotness for me to handle.

  • I think the song is about him wanting to be amazing person, to be happy, and to make the girl he's with happy. That's my thoughts on it.

  • UHHH, what gave you that idea???

  • what is this songs message? i love the song, but i cant figure out what its saying...

  • @snickersamson I think "Amazing" is about loving someone but not feeling good enough for them and I think it's him destperately trying to find reassurance that maybe he is and becuz he can't he's so desperate that he's begging to be able to just pretend.

  • i want to see this band so bad, anyone know if they are coming to minneapolis soon>?

  • Pure brilliance

  • raw beauty. I love this song..

  • this has to be the most amazing 10 minutes of live footage ive ever seen from any band. even shows ive been to! its so meaningfull and raw. its brilliant!

  • love this band seen em 3 times and counting

  • I just recently discovered Blue October and I can't get enough! I love the intensity, the emotions, the way he can pull at my guts! I so want to see them live!!

  • im with ya.....im addicted to em....justin says it so real, and he is amazing...he says what we need to hear and he makes us feel its ok to feel whatever...

    i wish i could see em live and i wish i could give him a hug and say thanks yanno?

  • nearly my new fave band (thatll always be METALLICA) but i love this band ,gonna see them in two weeks in GLASGOW cant wait

  • @scotia1488 The fact that Metallica is your "fave" band speaks volumes about your intellect and musical taste.

  • the fact that you took time out to comment on my comment speaks volumes about your life

  • I cannot get enough of these guys! I listen, and I get chills, I watch and I am mesmerized! My favorite band EVER!

  • weight of the world is my favorite of theirs...fantastic.

  • how is weight of the world on this album when this came out way before approaching normal

  • they used to just play it as a free verse kind of deal before they actually recorded it. it was written long before approaching normal

  • oh... ok thanks :D

  • cos they wrote it ages ago - but only RLY put it into a studio album on ''approaching normal'' but i prefer this to the AN studio vertion tbh.

  • yea i like this one better too

  • Because the Weight of the World on Approaching Normal is a remake.

    Go buy "Argue With a Tree" -- it's a realyl great CD.

  • i actually did last week!!! its great!

  • the way he sings is just amazing really. the last bit of amazing where he does the guitar bit is just such a nice sound. they are magical and im goin to see them hopefully when they come back to the uk @islington. the new album is awesome also

  • I Luv this song!!! I cry everytime i listen to it it's such an emotional and deep song.

    Definetly one of my favorite song from them! :)

  • i love the way their two voices sound together its perfect sounds beautiful... one of my favorites of their slow songs :)

  • I was glad when Approaching Normal came out cuz I already knew the words to one of the songs (Weight Of The World). The studio version is better by far

  • anything justin writes brings me to tears as I relate.

  • I Would Start Crying To If I Was There:)

  • i found this concert on youtube bout 2yrs ago, absolutely the most mezmerising music ive heard in like fkn forever, still after i bought the dvd i still cant get enough of it, my 11 year old son always jokes w me evry time i tell him im gonna play somthin for him , he says what.. blue october lmfao, that just shows how much ive dove into this whole blue october thing, best love songs, best fast songs, awesome shit...

  • i love this soooong, absolutely great work

  • I just absolutely love CB in this performance...how slick he is just strumming...almost a carefree look upon his face...whole band just damn sexy!

  • nope definitely not a carefree look on his face, you can see alot of seriousness and contemplation in his eyes, alot.

  • I left High School in the early 80's to go on the road with a Heavy Metal band and met bands all over the U.S. and these guys are the most original, emmotionally real and talented group I have seen in many many years.

  • great live performance, he's so emotional on stage, it almost seems like he's telling more of a story than singing, which i know he is telling a story

  • this is the real version of "wieght of the world" from the album argue with a tree...its way better then the mainsteam version on the aproaching normal album...to me the old blue october is way better...but there still good jus not as emotional as they use to be....

  • they are if you seem them live, if you have or haven't. but even the songs that i didnt like as much on the new album were great when they came to london. :D

  • yah ive seen them in concert 3 times i jus dont really like how the newer as much ass the old ones but i know they preform them way better live

  • ive never heard it live.. but this version of wieght of the world is so much better. the opening to aproaching normal was a little bit of a dissapointment... well no i shouldnt say that but it definatly wasnt what i expected. amazing album dont get me wrong

    love blue october

  • Now thats pain & passion. You can feel what he feels for 10mins. I want to be able to bring that passion to the surface like Justin does. That performance was unforgettable.

    Kevin J.

  • love this concert hav it on dvd YAY

  • the performance is just PERFECT.i think its the first song that i prefer listening to live rather than on cd

  • I´ve hear both songs more than million times but...after listening to them this time i feel...diffrent. I don´t know why but it feels that way.

  • gives me chills every time <3

  • are ryan and cb crying?? ı think ı saw tears..

  • What time?

  • it's between 1.48 - 1.55

  • Comment removed

  • Shame it misses those last few lines when he says he finally realises why he does it all. I wonder what it looks like :-)

  • 8:36 is when he's at his best in my opinion. unbelievable

  • I know what you mean, whenever i hear/see that part, i get chills.

  • This song really makes me think about past relationships, and It makes me wish I could go back and fix the broken pieces.

  • this may be the best video on youtube. 2 of the greatest songs together with such emotion...

  • We don't have to pretend you're amazing...you are..and without even realizing it - you did find my secret weak spot. Thank you for not only saying what some of us cannot, but adding soul touching music. Beautiful, just beautiful...

  • its the less heard of bands that show true emotion.

  • blue october is amazing. the songs are touching. i love the lyrics so much! i especially love this song,chameleon boy,for my brohter,and so so much more. i love it. justin is also good looking and has a very nice voice. iloveitlikewoah.

  • Is this an old video or is it recent?

  • it matters not how many times I listen to this... It's so personal every single time I hear it and FEEL it. I hope Justin knows how his own tragedies and triumphs help the rest of connect and RE-connect with ourselves and with what we need to do. Godspeed and thank you Justin for sharing yourself with us. It really makes a difference.

  • Totally f--kn' awesome song! Great job guys.

  • Perfect. Absolutely perfect. This man is stunning... I so adore Blue October!! Can not WAIT until March!!! :) I LOVE the transition into Weight of the World... that was flawless!

  • his voice sounds perfect live

  • yes

  • I just wanna say I FUKIN LOVE YOU JUSTIN! I've followed you since before yall were this famous and I always new you would become so very famous, your music is beautiful and so are you!  Corina

  • blue october rocks i rate justin better than jim morrison

  • best video on youtube and yet so little views

  • Most Amazing concert and most amazing song and voice. Everyone is so lost in his voice, you can hear him perfectly to share in it.

  • truly amazing musicians they truly poor their heart and soul into their performance.

  • This version is the best versions they've ever made of this song! Unfortunately, I'm not to keen on the new version. Doesn't feel right, kinda out of place. But this version is absolute perfection!!! Kickass band and fucking amazing performance!

  • best band ever!!!!!!!!!

  • Ah, this is the one. I have an mp3 of the last one on my mp3 player. It's great.

  • Liars they leave a guilty trail, and let me tell you something people i've been lying for fucking years. That must be why im standing in this place, disregarding that i have created these monsters... What an amazing song...when the weight of the world has gone wrong. Gone fucking wrong again.Thank you Justin and Blue October.

  • yo dude supposedly if u know the lyrics to weight of the world u get a thumbs down lol wat has this world come too?

  • What a performance, from the heart. Totally awesome. I just can't get enough of them.

  • C.B Hudson is awesome in the intro, makes me feel alot better when I hear the guitar playing

  • Seeing Blue October like this is when you know there is never too much brilliance. Because they've gone SOOOO fucking far up there. It's just amazing.

  • Great back up vocals as well as justin`s.

  • That almost made me cry...

    So... just unbelievable.

  • its been so long since I've watched this, I forgot how frigging amazing (no pun intended) this song is.

  • His voice is hypnotizing...

    Weight Of The World=Great Song

  • absoulute beauty

  • Genius

  • shes the resaon the weight of all the worlds gone wrong

  • Damn straight <3.

  • shes the reason why the world goes wrong

  • i know how it feels ta wish sumone thought i was amazing...i wish krystal thought i was amazing.

  • well I think you're amazing... Sorry Krystal doesn't... I know how you feel and even though I don't know who you are... I'm sure she's missing out on an amazing person. CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. IT'S YOUR CHOICE MY FRIEND!

  • Its sounds so doltish ... I know Justin writes from personal experience and produces the soundtrack of his own life ... Its like he climbed inside my "cracked" head found his hole and wrote a soundtrack for MY life. I am sure many have said the same thing and I may be no different than them, but I wish I could thank him. His music, especially "Amazing" has kept me not only as sane as I can be, but also alive at times.

  • same here..

  • WOW!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

  • Awesome!

  • *sigh* do i really need to say anything, i mean... just PERFECTION.

  • Oh my god, i really love Blue October. Wieght of the World is my favourite song ever made by them. Sweet And Somber Pigeon Wings is good too :) Hope Wieght is on the new album if there going to be any

  • Justin is the best dude i love that guy

  • sweet preformance... excellent song.....love you Justin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
