My heart is with you. It'll be 2 years tomorrow since my husband died. Listening to this and thinking of him.

[@lowe-nm2yd]

Love you brother

[@stephwinstanley9482]

I went to see Blue October last week and asked Justin if I could use this song as mine and my bf's 1st dance at our wedding and he said he'd be honoured ❤ love this song so much!!

[@ceciliovirgen8274]

He sings better live than in recordings. Amazing voice!

[@bansheeboy1982]

Cecilio Virgen sure does !!

[@i3ong.]

This. His voice is inane, amazing live.

[@timoreilly2221]

Live kicks ass

[@dan12con]

Justin’s emotions are so much more powerful live.

[@517meb]

Yes he sounds Amazing live !

[@markgerstner55]

I don't know what I feel more the electric fiddle or Justins voice. Pure unadulterated emotion.

[@jessicalieske7533]

I walked down the aisle to a piano playing this song. Then we danced to it at our reception. That moment is still everything to me.

[@richierich4538]

We must love and protect Justin and Blue October at all costs...they are National Treasures!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@valenedavis3063]

I used to work for his tour manager. I met him several times and was at the debut to this album at Stubbs in Austin, TX. He brings his music to life in concert. He's such a great guy. The struggle is real and I'm so glad he made it through his demons! I miss him!

[@reginadelahoussaye853]

It was the most memorable show. This was the first professional live recording. I loved being there.

[@ericreed650]

Best song he ever wrote

[@mariacalaway6558]

Yep!💙

[@kerri2604]

Definitely up there! I wish he would still play it live.

[@dan12con]

It’s up there, for sure …. along with Ugly Side, HRSA, and A Quiet Mind.

[@flynndog]

The violin solo is the ringtone for my wife, No! I got a new phone, I have to add that back again, and I have. It's amazing how sound can evoke such emotions.. LOVE

[@jacqueglidden3508]

I can listen to this song all day long. Over and over. I love this band, like no other.

[@nickm4414]

Should have 8 million likes. I listen to it every other month or so just to feel the inside. M'lady has been fighting ascites after a failed liver and kidney. Now she has cellulitis as well, and a gallbladder removal. Estimated 2 years of life... 9 years ago. At the hospital every week for a paracentesis; avg. 10L drain. God is around, and I sing along with this as much as possible until it starts the tears. Blessings are the first seconds of this song!!

[@mikedemarco4865]

Hey bro I don’t know you but I love the kind of person you are, to go through that an you stayed strong for someone you love. This would sucks and is in fair, but there still are some good people still out there. I hope you have some to support you through this. Just know 1-Day Jesus will take us to our real home with him. No more tears, no more pain no death. God bless you brother

[@nickm4414]

@@mikedemarco4865 M'lady spread her wings at 6:20 on 10-28-2021. She blessed me 3 days later meeting a woman just like her. We were strong veteran supporters, and even bartended the VFW here. Now I'm with a 7-year veteran from our Air Force who is a jet engine mechanic. Things have just clicked perfectly. Everything was a blessing and I talk to my angel every day saying thank you.. Just remember 381. 3 words, 8 letters, 1 meaning. God bless you as well!!

[@18thFLBalcony]

Hope she’s doing good💙

[@vitinamolgaard2048]

I was at my first Blue Concert on Saturday...this song always brings my husband so strongly into my heart.. The tears flow and I thought of my Joseph who I miss so much and always will.

[@sippynkobe]

This is such a beautiful song that will hold a special memory for me. The feeling of love and hope he captured in these lyrics will also forever encapsulate a time in my life I will forever hold close to my heart.

[@jeremiahalmos2643]

I've been listening to this song for many many years and I always find myself coming back to it. His music captivates all my emotions love, missing, sadness, happiness. People who can deeply correlate with his music are lucky.

[@djstrains]

If you don't have a tear in your eye, you are dead inside.

[@jennyfraser3237]

Agreed @djstrains

[@jennyfraser3237]

Incredible band... The music touches you in places you can't imagine. Your music has helped me in so many ways. Thank you❤❤❤❤

[@renatojorge7053]

It all started with Foiled, them went back, and never stopped listening to this exceptional band. Greetings from Portugal, from Germany, Angola or Mozambique...where I am... there'll be Blue October

[@MrsMoonlight.Morris1990]

My partner sent me this song 2 days ago, today he's lying in intensive care. After trying to take his life. Today I saved his life.

[@bansheeboy1982]

Lottie Peachey god bless you for doing so.

[@jeremiahalmos2643]

This was two years ago and I wanted to ask to see if your partner made a recovery? Thanks

[@18thFLBalcony]

Hope your both doing good💙

[@heatherbadweather]

I hope all the best for you. Goddess you have strengths beyond comparison

[@MrsMoonlight.Morris1990]

My partner is now my husband. We have 2 kids and are incredibly happy. Thank you everyone. X

[@jodyvance5461]

We aren't worthy of the beauty of the beauty and love that made this song. God Bless you Justin!!

[@AprilKratzer]

I think that also. People look at me like I'm crazy. They don't understand.

[@sch7194]

This man...Justin Furstenfeld....he kills me everytime 🤟

[@nonovyab9841]

Ryan make it Snoooooowww 😪😪😪😪 just ends ye right there .....love all these people 💙💙💙💙💙

[@audreyaveard1118]

This is the BEST version of this song 💙 Ryan at the end is just the most epic part 🎵

[@lissa9319]

My husband left me after 11 years and this song got me through. This year we celebrate 30 year. Sobriety does happen sometimes. My husband is living proof.

[@18thFLBalcony]

We’re in it together 💙

[@Shiretops]

Bless you. Blue october has a very deep power that has helped many people heal and find sense in this messy life.. im one of them too

[@robinbarrera1681]

This is me and my husbands favorite. 20 years strong!!

[@Ginger2152]

Love this song so much. This was my husband’s and my wedding song almost 10 years ago!!!❤️❤️

[@jdfales]

Me too!!!

[@auroramadula8763]

Same here!💕 That's why am here yearly🥰

[@scottduflo7348]

Scott Duflo 15 minutes ago (edited) My interpretation of this song... To me, this is certainly a story of someone getting to know a lady and realizing that he is falling deeply in love with her. His arms are open wide to her love and he knew it from the start. They don't want to fall asleep for fear they would miss this moment together. He wants to tell her that he is "So yours for the taking" and he's tearing up trying to figure out how to say it. Then she kisses him as if to say, "you don't have to say it. I know how you feel and I feel the same way". They are basically both flying away together in love. But it's just beginning, and he knows that there will be times when they are apart. He feels that eventually they will be together but until then, "I'll keep you in my dreams" I felt this way when I met my wife. And like many others, we danced to this song at our wedding.

[@g.michael3760]

Well stated!

[@18thFLBalcony]

Beautiful 💙

[@bgfree1965]

No one else can ever do this song like this original, Justin is the man with a awesome band.

[@alexandriajones7028]

You are special and amazing, you are my favorite place to go in my head I enjoy your company in my fantasy world. Even if you were just a regular person I would still get lost in your eyes I am glad I found you because fantasy love is all that I can deal with and it's very hard to mess up, bless you, Justin I hope you get all that you want out of this life.

[@TamaraRestall]

My friend jumped from the 18th floor balcony at a hotel! We both suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar and we helped others learning how to play instruments and sing! Friends of Music! We had ppl that were in the mental hospital come and it was great to see how many changed from music! This makes me remember Christy! I wish I saw her in mental stress but she never showed it before she jumped! Glad this band has helped so many!

[@18thFLBalcony]

Rest in peace Christy. Hope your doing good 💙

[@ashleywestbrook9207]

As I was sitting in a trailer, living with a very abusive guy…I heard this song after just letting the CD play. Either I was too hurt to get up and stop it from all of the beatings, or just too depressed but I heard this song…I’ve been talking to my aunts and uncles mom and dad again…❤️‍🩹

[@fly2close2thesun]

I wish you well, hope you get some support you need ❤xxx

[@18thFLBalcony]

Hope your doing good💙

[@Paradiiiice]

[@deftist]

I was at this concert in Milwaukee, Wi.

[@reginadelahoussaye853]

This show was filmed in Dallas Texas 2004.

[@HolySoopCoolers]

I can’t count the number of times I’ve listened to this song but I have to believe it’s in the thousands. I learned it on piano, guitar, mandolin and I’ve literally played it until my fingers bleed and listened to it until I have no tears left.

[@bogsy3407]

The very first time I heard this song, I literally teared up. I can feel it, the emotion and the love.

[@CorneliusVanderbilt_III]

Here 2021 wishing I was there at this moment! It must be magical! I love you guys! ❤

[@michaelmozitis5151]

Best concert I’ve ever been to…hands down.

[@lisamoroney3036]

I close my eyes And I smile, knowing that everything is alright To the core, so close that door Is this happening? My breath is on your hair, I'm unaware That you opened the blinds and let the city in God, you held my hand And we stand Just taking in everything And I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep Here we are On this 18th floor balcony We're both, flying away So we talked about mom's and dad's About family pasts Just getting to know where we came from Our hearts were on display For all to see I can't believe this is happening to me And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours That I was so yours for the taking I'm so yours for the taking That's when I felt the wind pick up I grabbed the rail while choking up These words to say and then you kissed me I knew it from the start My arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep Here we are On this 18th floor balcony We're both, flying away And I'll try to sleep To keep you in my dreams 'Til I can bring you home with me I'll try to sleep And when I do I'll keep you in my, dreams I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide And your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep So here we are On this 18th floor balcony, yeah I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach No, we're not going to sleep, sleep Here we are On this 18th floor balcony, we're both Flying away Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Charles Britton Iii Hudson / Justin S Furstenfeld 18th Floor Balcony lyrics © BMG Ri

Ironically 4 moths ago I left a comment and now I am grieving for my best friend, Stephen! He committed a long time suicide from drinking and I asked him to at least slow down! I had watch a very painful death! Addictions are hard to quit but when the person reading this is an addict know there is help if you want it! It is not a disease that you just fall asleep

This video is pure Blue gold!!! ❤️ Does it specify where/when this was filmed? I know it was uploaded in 2012, but was it actually filmed much earlier? It looks like it was probably the OG professional music video, so I doubt I'll ever know the answers to these questions, but out of pure curiosity.... If anyone has info, or a lead on some info, I would greatly appreciate it! TIA and GB
