Reminds me of how selfish I was hiding in my addiction as my mom was dying of cancer. How I made amends to her moments before she died. Just her and I, she hadn’t opened her eyes in weeks. I spoke to her and made a promise, she opened her eyes and took her last breath. I’m still keeping my promise mom.

@@FarieFly I'm so sorry, it is so sad that the kids won't have him to be here for them and being the person he would have been if not for opiates, heroin. It's a disgrace how openly and legally big pharma & doctors have addicted millions of citizens from about 1995 until now, with all of them totally uneducated about how to help people get off the very drugs they themselves got them addicted to. They were and still are the ones handing out life destroying drugs that cause untold suffering to people, when doctors even say an oath to "first, do no harm". They've done arguably the worst harm you could ever do to a person, causing their enslavement to a substance that then is a life long fight for their lives, in so many cases, lives that are then cut so short by overdosing, suicides. Then there's no way to know how many died going through withdrawals, bc whether a person tried to get off opiates bc they wanted to or were in withdrawal for other reasons, then they died, there'd be no drugs in their system, so how would a coroner ever be able to rule that the stress & hell their body went through in the previous weeks of withdrawal had killed them because their heart could not take the constant symptoms ranging from diarrhea, the shakes, cold & hot flashes, every part of their body being in 24/7 pain, nausea, vomiting , no sleep for a week, unable to eat or hold down water, legs jumping, mind racing.... so statistics don't show the thousands who died at 30 to 60 years of age for no other apparent reason but withdrawals.Most heroin addicts began by taking pills, that is why I say all this. Oh but I guess it's ok, all better now because Purdue Pharma paid millions to our government (in fines) for lying about how addictive roxycodone, oxycontin, oxycodone was while they watched MILLIONS be tortured physically (because of the addiction they fertilized in the 1990-s til now.) for two decades, then watched hundreds of thousands die, after each had given Richard Sackler every penny they had to try to pay the $300 to $600 a month for the HIGHLY addictive pills scripts, (and 200 to 400 a month for every dr visits). They killed hundreds of thousands people of every age....and walk free right now, no victim was EVER apologized to, much less compensated, our government got a big 18 million dollar tip for letting them kill us... Murderers belong in prison or on death row and the failure of anyone to ever hold anyone criminally liable for the addiction & intentional mass murder here of a generation or two is inexcusable !

They're so well rehearsed & in tune with eachother, from doing this live so much, putting their all into the quality of each performance, you can FEEL it, even through my crappy lil laptop's speakers (lol). They'll sound just as great as their recordings & even surprise me by sounding even better live....somehow...'cause that's not easy to do for any musician or vocalist. At their top ability, at their best, all calm, collected, well rested, & in a studio focusing on recording their piece of each song to record it excellently; that's one level of skill & artistry right there.... But there aren't many that can surpass their own recorded versions of themselves, regularly, while perfoming whole concerts on the road, traveling, feeling worn out a lot of the time, then the adrenaline that must start pumping on stage, the ton of energy used on stage....you'd think it would HAVE to result in less than perfect performances. Not with these guys. It's an all out amazing show EVERY time & that's so impressive to me. These dudes sound perfect live, impeccably planned and executed shows.

It holds more than just a “space” in my heart.

Having listened to tens of thousands of songs in my life, and being a songwriter myself, I can without hesitation say that these are some of the most vivid and poignant lyrics ever committed to a recording, especially in the first few verses. An absolute masterclass in using language as a precision weapon. You don't just hear, you feel.

My mom lost her fight. I'm fighting the same fight she went through. So much I held against her before I ever even knew. I struggle so much with the regret of not knowing more at the time. I live in regret & grief every single day since she's passed. I just wish I could tell her I was sorry & I love her one last time.

I've listened to this over and over and over and over for my little mom who passed away so suddenly. She never ever stopped worrying about us. No matter what we did, no matter how many times we all got irritated with her, she texted, she called, she prayed, she talked to us, calmed us down, comforted us, chased us around when we were wild. I wish I could have been a better daughter. This song helps me grieve, helps me cry, helps me see I'm not the only one with this heartache. This song is so powerful it's unreal. I miss you momma, I miss you so much.

I am a motherof 4 now grown kids and mine ran me ragged at times too. Like your mom, I never let anything they did or said stop me from doing my best to be in their lives somehow, to be there for them if they wanted me there. I never stopped believing ihat they'd get themselves on a good path one day & that when they did their troubles would be just memories of the experiences that allowed them to grow and become more mature adults. We've all been young, so it's not hard to remember how I was when I was young, all the bad choices & mistakes I made. As a Mom I think we just hope we can teach our kids something, or be there for them in tough times, to encourage our kids....we hope we'll be able to do something that'll spare our kids from going through some of the consequences we may have had to face from our own screw ups. We try to teach you enough so that you might avoid some of our mistakes. I too would like to say alot of things to my own mom, if I could, right now. Sadly we don't even realize alot of stuff until our parents have been gone a long time. We all have many things we do, good and bad, while growing up & a mother never gives up on her child, in her heart, she never thinks her child won't one day conquer whatever they need to I'd want my kids to know, should I leave this earth and years from now, they have regrets or things they wish they'd said or done, regarding me -I'd want to tell them to not to stress over such things becuse I already know, I KNEW all the moments they'd go through, when they suddenly understood how I was at different ages. Your mom knew too. Our hearts know, at a level no other relationship comes close to, our kids and there's a special love that's eternally binding us to our children's hearts, the d.n,a, in us that we pass to our kids, pieces of us... that our kids carry. Mom knows, that's what I'm saying, she knows and she understands, she went through it too, being a child of a parent and all that goes with that.

LYRICS: I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again? And will you never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face? And will you never try to reach me? It is I that wanted space Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you I'm sober now for three whole months it's one accomplishment that you helped me with The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take So I'll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you Hate me in ways Yeah, ways hard to swallow Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made And like a baby boy I never was a man Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand And then I fell down yelling, "Make it go away!" Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be And then she whispered, "How can you do this to me?" Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you Hate me in ways Yeah, ways hard to swallow Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you For you For you For you

Running through the ideas of anything and everything you can do to get away for just a moment of peace. The intro always makes me think of my grandmother and my wife and the rest of my family. They're the reason I stayed when I was at my lowest. They're the reason I'll keep fighting. Depression WILL NOT DEFEAT ME. Also let me add, that was an ELECTRIFYING performance!

This song reminds me of my failed marriage. I wasn't addicted to drugs or alcohol, I was just an immature boy who refused to grow up. The line where he holds her face as she cries was what happened to me when I told her I cheated on her. This song reminds me why I lost her and the stupid mistakes I made along the way. She was the one. .. we were supposed to have all of lifes "firsts" together. Now all I can do is wonder if she is happy now and experiencing those firsts with one she cares for. When you finally grow up and realize what you had and lost all for pretty much selfish reasons is a bitter pill to swallow.

The honesty you brought to the table brought a tear to my eye. We all make mistakes in life but owning them takes alot more

This song strips me down to my real self!! It’s like a reality check!! When you finally wake up it’s not too late guys!! This song has power to empower you today. Listen to the saving grace of his momma, I cry when that played every time. We are good people, sometimes we all fail and fall and get lost but we can come back. Just allow yourself to get help. Love this song!!

Just heard this live in Seattle a couple days ago. His voice is hauntingly beautiful on this recording, but so so SO much better in person. I felt his emotion like it was running through my body. Unbelievable talent.

When I was struggling with sobriety I'd listen to this on repeat and imagine that if I kept up the life I was living I'd break my children's hearts and mother's heart. Everyday is a fight, but I try every day to be the person I was meant to be. Dying of alcohol poisoning isn't meant to be my legacy.

2006 was a very dark, hard and an alone year for me. This song was my constant. I was suicidal. My family was no help whatsoever. My mom was a narssist. This song hits home even 17 years later. It reminds me of everything I have fought and over come. I am married to an amazing guy and a two year old son who are my life and give me purpose. Those people who helped keep down hate me today because I stood up and refused to back down to their will. Thank you Blue October!!!!!

I was the guy who phoned my Mother & Father every other week asking for money, so I could spend it on booze and other substances. I have zero recollection of doing this at all. All I know, is I needed it at the time. I lost everything, didn't die (although was very close many times) and luckily by the grace of God, got clean & sober. There is a higher power🙏❤️🔥
