Blue October - Into The Ocean - 4/12/2018 - Paste Studios - New York, NY

[@scottperrin9655]

I love seeing him with some gray. I'm sure earlier in life he never thought he'd live long enough to have it. He's earned it.

[@tombeals6234]

That's how I lived my youth. I'm almost 30. When I turned 21, my mom asked me how it felt hitting 21, spending years thinking I'd never see it. Looking back today, I'm happy as hell I fought through my battles. Life really does get better if you let it....

[@Mistymygale79]

I am so happy for him. So thankful he chose to turn his life around and appreciate who and what matters.

[@scottperrin9655]

Mistymygale79 he's definately a good dude.

[@johnleeclair]

Damn this hit hard

[@codylystiuk3074]

This is the type of artist that needs to be heard.

[@lucky.t.7233]

This man's music is the only thing keeping me alive right now. Thank you

[@chrisjbrown147]

hope you're doing better bro.

[@lilfunker]

shut up

[@thelistofjustin1356]

Try weed. Helps me immensely

[@fernandeaux1631]

You keep living life, YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. WE ALL LOVE YOU. ❤❤❤❤

[@JaeOdin]

Hope your doing better mate

[@bencarper]

Accidentally clicked on this. Do not regret it.

[@derekalton4364]

It wasn't a accident. Fate! Enjoy 😊

[@DeadGame0234]

Never gets old. Especially during these times, right? Cheers bud.

[@Justamy1973]

Right! Accidentally, click on any of their songs, there’s no way you’d regret a single one!💙

[@ashtonrendon600]

This song has always been wonderful, but I cannot get over how his voice has aged. It sounds better today than it did when this song came out. Awesome to see someone continue progressing no matter what

[@sleepnomore6065]

In the first few secs I was dumbstruck at how incredible his voice is... as if I had forgot! It DOES sound better! Like WHAT???

[@damaygo1742]

Woah. Like woah. My dad used to listen to this song all the time when I was younger. Hes still alive and well, but it makes me sad to think that this song was once relatable to him...

[@ShaferBeets]

Same

[@MrCmoore7]

Dont know much about blue october, always liked this song and hate me. But damn this whole session was awesome, dude is crazy talented

[@SAMWARRENiIS]

Check out his other band, Harvard of the South.

[@Makin3m]

Same here. Found Blue October on Fuse when that was a thing lol idk any other songs besides those, but I may give it a go and see if there’s any other songs I like from them

[@israeltercero5468]

Flawless, absolutely Flawless. This version makes me feel a whole new song, and his Heart can be understood on a whole new deeper level, I appreciate the heck out of his unplugged performances!

[@ruthcarter946]

Always loved this song, but listening to him sing it like this makes it sound so beautiful. 👏💞

[@Mistymygale79]

Yes, so beautiful. Because he has chosen to appreciate life... Not saying it was easy at all... That's what makes it even better.

[@HayleySpp]

Dying breed. Thanks Justin, for simply being you.

[@ricgondeckjr5091]

God damn! That was more powerful than the original video back in the day!

[@JosephStacavich]

I had the great pleasure of seeing Justin in a small acoustic set in Austin, TX last month. Just like this performance, I was blown away. He wasn't even mic'd up at the performance and his voice sounded just as golden as it does here. Hearing his stories made the show even better, so glad to see he has found a way to be happy in this difficult world.

[@Mistymygale79]

Me too

[@FireFightOnline]

Jesus that boy can write a good song

[@macstar95]

I will play this song at my funeral and if anyone does show up, I hope they are able to see the world through the lenses that this song conveys. It's a sad but beautiful song.

[@wyattschutte]

This is beautiful and I have been a fan for many years... but is no one going to comment that he is dressed exactly like Ned Flanders?

[@christopherjackson7359]

Surely diggily.

[@SAMWARRENiIS]

He is a man of God after all. 💙

[@justyouraveragefluff2298]

It's his dad uniform

[@kylekowalski3340]

Wow, mind blown.

[@sleepnomore6065]

LMAO🤣

[@anniewilliams176]

how does one preform the same music over n over & STILL feel it every time>!?! fr fr

[@wavestation9079]

that's the mark of a great artist imo. Even if you're not feeling it, you have to act like it because the song still means something to the fans.

[@jeffcasey7413]

because its true and real

[@jaejae1533]

His voice is so underrated. Love this look as well... Good to hear him again.

[@hollycampbell9914]

THIS IS MY F A V O R I T E SONG !!! IT MADE ME CRY !!!

[@brinettelamoreaux8756]

There was a concert for Blue October in Utah, and this song was played while it was raining, I couldn’t help but sob. Thank you Justin!

[@Primien0G]

My all time favorite song

[@ezramoore3344]

My parents drove me and my brother and sister straight to north carolina without telling us why just to surprise us by pulling up to a venue to see justin and his band live , was a day I'll never forget. Was just a few feet away from the front of the stage and it was truly amazing 🖤

[@josephclimbs9495]

That sounds like an awesome surprise, hope one day I'll happen to stumble across him singing in a bar or something

[@chris74265]

Blue October and Justin was so underrated back then they deserve to just blow tf up and be noticed for crying out loud

[@nambisobaka2999]

I love the imperfections of the face, it's beautiful. His silver teeth are perfect

[@tombarvick]

So good. One of my favorite acoustic performances of all time.

[@catloverextreme]

He's unbelievable. 100% true divine talent.

[@devinchrishaun]

Still crying bro 😢

[@terrylewis_]

I am so thankful I got out and away from where I grew up. I can't tell you the number of schoolmates that are now dead from addiction. I was on a very destructive path myself, but my husband showed me that I am worth so much more than I realized. 18 years on and he is still my very best friend and beloved. :) Blue October will always hold a special place in my heart, I listen to Into the Ocean nightly in my sleep mix. (As well as Hate Me & Calling You) lol

[@AnguianoMS]

The range in his voice is unbelievable!

[@carltrano1325]

I get the feeling this how he wanted to always sing the song from It’s inception. I personally like both versions

[@wendihayes4311]

I loved this song before but this stripped down raw version is amazing!!!!

[@adam3168]

This reminds me of when I was depressed in high school. Didnt have a clue how much worse life could get

[@emperorbunnybun7513]

I love this song so much and you hit every note juuust right, so lovely!!!

[@sashababy111]

This is absolutely beautiful. Can literally feel the emotion in his voice.

[@SAMWARRENiIS]

I love the way the subtle nuances in your voice change the song. No two performances are ever the same with you... with every note sung, I hear a song anew.💙 See you May 18th!!

[@DPDBR23]

I have never really been the type to like live versions of songs but this is all so perfect, gave me chills !!!

[@wordpad494]

Can't listen to this without dropping tears.

[@187almazan]

U need therapy fam 😂

[@christopherjackson7359]

I am going through a divorce This helps me thank you Let the rain come down

[@kristi9417]

You will be okay :)

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

Hope all is better man.

[@printordye]

Here in this space now.

[@jopetcalinao]

Amazing.. I can still hear the violin, the drums and the bottle xylophone..

[@Embodiedflor]

This song makes me feel so much less alone and helps me through times

[@jessicalmaolovett3298]

I saw Justin sing this song live years back. Absolute goosebumps everywhere.

[@tenfeetsmalledgeoftherabbi7263]

How could this get any better.

[@cridder2023]

He has aged well...his voice is amazing!!! he totally feels the lyrics.

[@chillfactor2021]

Im glad your still with us, singing your beautiful melodies.

[@sherrih.2693]

I thought of this song today.I know this song is painful but it's so beautiful. Now in the time of Covid we're all going through turmoil, it has so many meanings and layers beyond suicide. Artists have the ability to dive into the layers of emotions. Thank you for that.

[@nicholasmilillomusic]

Love the somber talky section of "then I floated into space"

[@cglawrence]

this album helped me thru some really dark times. I like to think we both got over it together.

[@tacti-cool4022]

A repeat button would be nice because im gonna replay this a few times over. Its growing on me quick & like this version better i think.

[@JadeyesAK]

Right click, select "loop". No ads that way either.

[@thegiftedone]

That was OUTSTANDING! …..love this song! Beautiful! Thank you!

[@chrishellmann7005]

What an amazing version of this song. I love this.

[@cridder2023]

SOOOOO good!!! i remeber this from many years and hearing this now is amazing!!!

[@weehenjen9544]

Listened and played blue October for many many years. Near 50 I am and never ever tire of this wonderful music. It's good people can use there mental health and bring it to music. That's a artist in my eyes. Keep it up Justin. Scotland loves you

[@AchievingAllOfMe]

I am moved within my soul and cry tears of pure emotional bliss. Love u justin and feel what u are projecting to the world. Thank you.

[@cridder2023]

BRAVO!!!

[@dwnlg565]

some songs just stick with you for a lifetime... this is one of them.. I remember being 10 years old hearing it for the first time and now i’m 24 and it’s even more powerful. definitely one of my all time favorites.

[@sarahwilliams1086]

This was done perfectly.

[@kristalann1973]

Wow Justin...love acoustic sets...so personal and powerful...this just proves when your life is so full of burden and pain that the beautiful disaster of it can produce amazing music and lyrics just like this...thank you for sharing your life, pain and talent with the world.

[@WierdArtistMarcell]

Man, seeing Justin now is so odd. He looks soo sweet. Such a contrast to when I first saw him in Dirt Room many years ago. This was always my favourite song by Blue October. Still listening to it every other day on my main playlist.

[@elizabethfletcher752]

I love it!! So damn awesome!!

[@MrsDezzyFreshy]
