[angelfacey]

Love them!!

[snellzgurl]

This is, hands down, the most frightening song I've ever seen..... And I love it.... His voice is perfect for this song...... My god, it gives me the chills each time I listen to it.... Justin is such an amazing artist, musician, and lyricist. I absolutely love him

[mattshane]

he sounds tired. is this song usually played near the end of their set or something

[Teh1andOnlyRdwfletch]

omfg goose bumps...justin is so intense

[zarema8]

brilliant song!!!!

[xxcrimsonxghostxx]

my god....

[werido92]

i think this song woudl make a GREAT music vid,. b/c it sounds and goes just like a story would... it would be a sick  music vid.

[ScottVickers1]

@werido92 TOTALLY! I would love to see a proper video made for this song.

[allisam23]

[TheBlueberry33]

[toketilyouchoke420]

theyre soo good live

[bectran]

i love this song. the lead singer of this band would be really, really terrifying to be married to!

[idontlikemakingthis]

he's bipolar.....

just so ya know

thats what the song "drilled a wire through my cheek" is about

[17panko]

my fav song by them its so dark but its a amazn song

[ALRich83]

Wow, i havent seen them perform "The end" and wow...wow...wow that was totally amazing!...

I hope they vist Australia!..

[saheen29]

they are a SUPER band...... only recently discovered them and now have all their albums.... and yes, hope they come Down Under!!!

[kitten81897]

luv this song!!!

[MBS284]

good quality live finally!

i missed them live. my friends said this song was scary as hell. like he looked so emotional while he sang it. i love the passion behind it

[butlerdude05]

he claims that he made it up and it's not really based on anything

[cory927]

prove it.

[butlerdude05]

Approaching Normal song cycle wraps with a shocker, "The End." This tale of an unstable man self-tortured by jealously is as frightening as any song ever recorded. You won't find it on the "clean" edit version of the album...it's that scary. "There are crazy stories on this album and this one is purely theatrical...I've just always been fascinated with what people think they can get away with...what in their brain is making them say `that's OK.'"

[cory927]

you didnt prove anything. all you did was type out a review with no cited sources.

[mattshane]

@butlerdude05

well ya of course but all stories fiction or non fiction come from personal events that happen

[RebeliousButterfly]

I actually love them so so so so much. I can't get to go see them when they come here and I cried for a while about it! This song is definately their most disturbing but it's so powerful! Does anyone whether it's based on his marriage or anything?

[Amkii]

Last Friday in Hammond they played this video during Dirt Room and it scared the crap out of me! lol It makes more sense for this song, though, which is why I was confused that they played it for DR. Hmm. Oh well. Again, thanks for the great quality video!! I love re-living the show I saw!

[staindedkorneww]

Justin was getting mad when they did that and I now see why. There are no hammond videos up :(

[Amkii]

When they did what? Played the video on the wrong song? lol Yeah it was just last Friday, and I didn't see too many people recording. I even got yelled at once during Hate Me (the last song they played), and I only got a few seconds on video. I don't really want to put them on YT though, b/c I'm afraid they'd get pulled for copyright infringement. =\

[staindedkorneww]

justin was mad when they played the video during dirt room. You could see him yelling and telling them to shut it off. You shouldnt get it pulled, ive got some up from the last time they were in Chicago at the fuel room

[Amkii]

lol Oh, you were there too? I didn't realize! But yeah, I saw him waving at them, but I thought it was for them to tone down one of the background sounds. Which I believe did die down a bit after he flailed at them, lol. I thought it was strange they'd play that video during dirt room! XD

Hmm. Once I put some videos up of lyrics for Blue October songs, with the songs playing in the background, and they all got pulled! And especially since I got yelled at in Hammond for recording... y'know?

[xemnort3]

they suck

[craigfralick]

it sounds like he's gotta be using a cover or something cause its so good, like u can tell its live but its awesome...blue october live as always just as good if not better than in the album

[fab2000]

I got tickets to see them May 10 in houston. was wondeing how this song would be live. I love it.

[celestialxxrage]

Everyone should see Blue October in concert. They put on such a great high energy performace. You will never ever forget it. I saw them back in '04 on the History for Sale tour, at Click's in Tyler. I've been trying to go to another concert since, but something always gets in the way.

[natalierox12]

The song is SCARY!

[chocoalateluver]

yeah but its frggn awesum

[NorskMexiFry]

i saw them in seattle. badass

[pipper2187]

Awesome. I saw them at Stubb's in Austin, TX and went to the bathroom during this song!! stupid! stupid! stupid!

[Youmaytouchthis]

Epic stage exit lol love this song

[grungeinspired]

This song alone made the album worth the price...I am so psyched that i got tickets to see them live later this month!!!

[Deadmanfan4life]

holy shit, wow

[lordoftheowl]

whats he saying at the very end?

sounds like "you gotta start small" to me

[TaylorTotz101]

I think he says, "Now it's nice to know"

[TaylorTotz101]

I watch this video waaaaaaaaay too much!

=]

[fairyluver]

This song is amazing.

[blueoctobergurl15]

This The Fucking best song in the WORLD

[Jessica7Ann7Meier]

My favorite song off Approaching Normal. Great video.

[rachaelmm84]

Amazing song. Super dark and intense. Great video, thanks for posting!

[har482000]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! this is right here is exactly what makes them the best band ever! WHEN THEIR LIVE SHOW SOUNDS GREAT THROUGH A VIDEO CAMERA!!! THATS WHEN YOU KNOW A BAND IS AMAZING!

[werido92]

put the barrel in my mouth and all i saw was black. DAMN. thats good

[agonzizzle18]

Its so bad its amazing! I love the last line "And all I saw was black!" thats just heavy

[seeohdee]

One of my favorite bands. Glad to see they're getting exposure outside of Texas. This is probably their darkest song to date, but I can't help loving it. The clarity on this video is pretty good. What kind of camera do you have?

[2musicismy]

so darkly delicious. love its sound..perversely my fave song on their new album in a way...or dirt room!!

my never is gorgeous!!

[jamesismy]

This is one of the best Blue October songs I've heard...I hope they release another live album soon w/ this on it!

[sQuid66]

What a great concert that night. Then i won at craps so it was a perfect night in vegas.

[imbethcahn]

Oh goodness, all I could think while hearing this was Edgar Allen Poe. Especially the rhythm and repeating "all I saw was red" almost like "nevermore" or "rapping at my chamber door." That kind of distirbing, repetitious, surrealism. Like it's so strange that it shouldn't be beautiful, but it is.

[flatline626]

the rhythm in the verses is really similar to the rhythm in the Raven, really. That's a really interesting thought.

[ur30]

This one blew me away that night.... Just freaking so perfectly angry.

[DesAllen7]

OMG! I cannot wait for this new album to come out! if it were a person I'd fuck it's brains out! YAY! YAY! :)

[invadercool88]

wow.....i dont have words to describe how amazing this song really is...its brutal dark but so true. Amazing. I'll witness this performance for myself in 4 days

[x5591x]

The emotion in his voice, added to such deep dark lyrics and sound, make is overwhelmingly creepy. Yet, beautiful and addicting. It's amazing how many emotions this man can bring to life in a simple 4 minutes 52 seconds. Simply amazing.

[cjqs]

I'm sure I took a single breath watching this. I'm still not sure if I'm breathing but I feel extremely warm for some reason.

[beetbeet1221]

=O oh man this is so dark...im at a loss for words...brilliant...

[inventyourown]

This song is dark indeed!

[MrandMrsFord]

WOW.....thankyou for posting.

PERFECTION!!

[crimsonregret01]

absolutely amazing!!!!!! great job!!

[TheReallrateGamer]

1st Blue Octobers the shit...
