Blue October - King - 4/12/2018 - Paste Studios - New York, NY

[@rickydavidson8810]

I danced with the most Beautiful Women in the world on September 12th 2020 to this exact version! First dance with the girl who will FOREVER "Light up the streets, with Gold"

If you allow me to vent a little bit, because is 2020 and there’s just chaos and despair everywhere... my ex-girlfriend was finally coming to Australia after more then one year apart when COVID-19 hit (we are both from Brazil but I moved here). This song is stuck in my head for weeks now and I can’t help thinking how much I’d like to dance this version with her. Things are different between us, but I still love her. No idea if she will be able to come one day and how much harder is being in a foreign country without the people you love and care about. So, bro, your comment hit me in the feels. I hope you know how lucky you are and treasure your relationship

[@larryswindallii7091]

This song really hits harder than normal today. I lost my soulmate of 35 years yesterday, after her long battle with cancer. We'd been together since fifteen.

[@MrNobodywatching]

How are you today?

[@RazielApollyon]

My deepest sympathies... I lost my wife in January after 16 years, and it is not easy. Others can't even really help, but six months on, it's at least a little less painful, and it only comes back in waves sometimes when I'm alone- you're not much older than I am, so I can tell you that no matter how it feels right now, it doesn't have to be the end- I'm not saying it will be exactly the same for you, but I spent endless hours in prayer after the funeral, and I've met someone who I think is the true love of my life. It's nothing against my wife, but we weren't exactly a perfect match- we were very loyal to one another and a great team, but it was usually more like being business partners than a romantic couple. You may find someone new that isn't as good for you as your wife, but there are many kinds of comfort, and things will get better with time. Don't be afraid to look at younger ladies, either- believe it or not, some of them genuinely are into older men- I'm 45, and my girlfriend is 18- I do look young for my age, but that's sort of irrelevant compared to the fact that I own a home, am successful, well-educated, maintain a nice vehicle, prefer being married and am emotionally and financially ready to have children. There aren't many 18-40 year old men that can say the same. Probably not what the fat old ladies that have four different "baby daddies" and are "finally ready to settle down" like to see, but who cares? I don't even know them, and I'd like to have a pretty wife who can bear healthy children safely, not a wine mom with a bunch of other men's brats that they expect me to pay for in tow.

The most beautiful mental illness....Exceptional...you save my life everyday brother. Peace

[@richardgee1011]

Your not alone brother, 1yr on from your comment I hope your still hanging in there and doing well, take care of yourself my friend. 🤙

[@hawktalon7890]

Saw Blue October live the other day. Justin is just as amazing even with a crowd of 2000 people!

[@chrisblazer8543]

The rawness in even a simple acoustic performance from him is mind blowing. This is someone using music as a vessel and its phenomenal.

[@damienhoyle4490]

thank the lord he beat his demons and has just got better and stronger and producing some excellent sounds which people can both relate to and heal from

[@Spyder7223]

Regardless of all the people here, I still think Blue October is criminally underrated. When he sings you can feel it, and it's something I can't say about most artists today.

[@scottschneider8415]

When I get down about my cancer I just put this song on put my mind in a different spot and just close my eyes and listen to this song

[@pegl1175]

King Love Me Like You Won't Let Go I sang that to my wife at her funeral the most beautiful song I've ever heard

[@deadgamingvlogs4709]

❤💔

[@Jayr2374]

That memory will not be forgotten and was a great choice

[@dustinkinnamon5037]

Who else rose up after hearing this???

[@drokoutdoors]

I keep coming back to this when times are tough.

[@legendarymodz635]

dude i dont see how its possible for someone to hate justin

[@jessiesgirl545]

Ethan Kidwell haters

[@JP-dw5ui]

Because they are cunts , SIMPLE

[@CountrySteve2]

No they have to be hating themselves and protecting that bs.***cara

[@jasonstreet2134]

@@CountrySteve2 honestly kinda sounds like my dad. He can't stand him. 😒🙄

[@a1sausie453]

Maybe that sweater

[@amandawalski4407]

Wow! He just gets better and better! I love all his acoustic stuff! I love all of Blue October stuff!

[@thebeckasaurus]

90% of the time I can't listen to blue October because it hurts too much but once the depression hits hard they are the only thing that keeps me going

[@mikemccreary2136]

Your music has saved my life. I was at a dark place for awhile and then started listening to you and then I met my wonderful amazing fiance and mother of my one year old daughter. I love your music your voice penetrates the soul. Thank you

[@mikeivan5947]

I just really discovered Blue October. Am amazed at how this band has eluded me for so many years. I literally cannot think of one song I have heard that I don’t love.

[@barbaraley4682]

I found them almost 20 years later, and like yourself I also missed knowing of them so many years ago .. but did we find Justin, or did Justin find us ...

[@jonkluesner466]

I’m an avid fan of alternative and contemporary hard rock. I’ve listened to Blue October here and there and thought the lead singer had a unique voice but the band as a whole never blew me away....until I heard the “I hope your happy” album. In my opinion, this is a juggernaut of an album and this song in particular is incredible. I hope they continue creating great music for a long time.

[@bnjlarsen5859]

if you can, see them at a live show. They will blow your mind. They are phenomenal live! I've been a diehard fan since the Foiled days ('06)- they just get better and better. Justin is such an amazing person and storyteller- watch some of his Open Book stuff or interviews.

[@DarthSiGi]

I totally concur! I love going to concerts, but Blue October is like a drug to me. I always want more! SEE THEM LIVE!!!!! @@bnjlarsen5859

[@tiffanyhardin1840]

Especially in the smaller venues!!😊

[@meike6690]

Okay, now I really have to marry one day, just so I can dance slowly to this song with the person I want to share the rest of my life with. I really can't wait for the new album!!!

[@jeanniedickens7139]

This was our wedding song 🧡

[@SPERT_SDG]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@jessicadalley5780]

this is my husband and my first dance song. had the whole room in tears.

[@audreybluegonzalez4434]

Felt this song in my soul. 💙💙💙

[@WaylonCarruthers]

Stunning voice. Stunning song. Stunning performance. Stunning Justin.

[@abassalary5083]

for one thing, and only one thing, this man went through hell, died, and come back! so regardless of all his music n stuff, only for being this kind of man he deserves all the respect. hats off

[@jaynope7563]

Follow your heart Follow your feet, your soul Follow your dreams wherever they go And never slow down And find someone to share it with and... And then never let them go Hold me close, closer than ever before (Ooh ah) just love me like you won't let go With all that I know, with all that I am (Ooh ah) just love me like you won't let go We light up the dark We light up the streets with gold And follow your dreams wherever they go And never slow down And find someone to share it with and... And then never let them go Hold me close, closer than ever before (Ooh ah) just love me like you won't let go You're all that I know, you're all that I am (Ooh ah) just love me like you won't let go And when you take away everything Just you in my arms, I feel like a king Holding you close I-I-I love you like I won't let go And when you strip away everything Just you in my arms, I feel like a king When I'm holding you close I-I-I love you like I won't let go So hold me close, closer than ever before (Ooh ah) Just love me like you won't let go You're all that I know, and with all that I am (Ooh ah) Love me like you won't let go

[@darthjedi99]

Its better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all. Dont lose hope or lose heart, press on and love yourself. God made you in His image. God loves you!

[@brokentombot]

I used to listen to Blue October years ago. Rediscovering them is great. I cry tears of lovely joy. I really love Justin's work.

[@pegl1175]

Justin I Met You in Raleigh North Carolina since I discovered you October it has made me a more compassionate caring father and husband thank you Justin

[@zacharysandoval5787]

This song penetrates my soul to the point I can’t believe such a parallel could exist.

[@fleetman5492]

This is just singing at a different level.

[@rachelroth362]

I live for his voice.

[@alepozuelos624]

Perfection

[@southtxroughneck113]

[@BJJDENVER_SWASS]

Even today I can’t stop listening ❤ just WOW

[@barbaraley4682]

I didn't find Justin ... He found me , thank you for letting me live through your music, it's been my lifeline when I didn't want to live anymore, and it has brought me happiness when I needed it the most ...

[@starvedgarden7462]

you saved someone tonight Justin. Thank you

[@isabell5190]

Your voice is a lamp to my sobriety. Everyday

There are, quite literally, not enough superlatives to describe just how good this is. Bravo.

[@sandrareynolds668]

Saw Justin live in Johnson City, TN. Have loved Blue October since Hate Me. Justin is not only gifted with that voice, he is a beautiful person. Personable and genuine with fans. I was so happy to show him my Tattoo tribute to Not Broken Anymore.

[@squiddsy]

Dudes voice is something else. So unique. Top notch Justin, as usual.

[@kornfreak78]

This is one of those songs that speaks to my soul.... Thank you for writing this, Justin... You have a real gift... You're one of the musicians I love because of how passionate you are about the music you sing... all I can say is, thank you.

[@cafelena]

Justin, you make my heart hurt but my soul rise at the same time. You sing with everything you have to give and it reaches further than you probably realize. I've listened to your entire album (I hope you're happy) I am confused inside, but in a good way. PLEASE don't ever stop sharing your gift.
