Vocal Coach Reacts - Blue October - Hate Me

[@ronparsons8786]

Blue October criminally underrated. "I hope you're happy" and "falling in the ocean" are all great

[@WolfHreda]

Falling in the Ocean gets me everytime.

[@stevecn70]

They are from Houston, Tx and I'm in Dallas, TX so I've seen them a lot. They never disappoint. I've seen people jam and watched them cry at every show.

[@ndp09]

Into The Ocean*

[@Alundrahs]

Omg the underrated comment. C’mon man say something viable and original. They are not underrated at all. They are very popular and very well received and understood by the fans that relate to their music. Go to any music video and there’s always a tool like you with that so played out comment.

[@FireAndIce-yt]

“Into the ocean” plus Say it, Calling you, and Dirt room are really good

[@deanadkin3113]

Please do more blue October, there live shows are unreal, Justin puts so much emotion and passion when he sings

[@bleachdragon88]

I’d love to see her do Fear

[@daltagnan230]

The entire discography of Blue October essentially functions as a look inside the life of Justin and all the highs and lows he has experience in the last 25 or so years. A lot of early stuff is darker, and a whole of the newer stuff is lighter. It truly is an examination of the progression and evolution of a man who has experienced an immense amount of heavy events in his life, both from poor choices as well as amazing triumphs. I hope to see more of Justin Furstenfeld and Blue October on your channel!

[@lesleybaughman697]

Blue October is one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. As good as their albums are, Justin’s voice live is crazy good and emotional.

[@pvellenga]

No doubt. Never been to a show and been so moved and seen so many others deeply moved. You see the tears and feel the emotion of the room. They are definitely something to behold live.

[@shaunamcallister2163]

I have tickets in July and am soooo excited

[@supernatural7690]

@@shaunamcallister2163 been to see them twice you will be blown away world class enjoy

[@macmcleod1188]

Saw them at The Warehouse in Houston. His mom was there stage left. And I completely agree with you on how good they are live.

[@DirectThreat]

I'm a huge extreme death metal fan but also a fan of good music that swallow your emotions whole because it's so relatable. Love you mom

[@0929mason]

Ditto.

[@jenniferkiefer9132]

Justin is a lyrical genius and he sings with such passion. It shows in every song, every performance.. the whole band is so underrated. Blue family forever

[@sentenced03]

this song will always be on the top of my list of emotional songs that will reduce me to a mess after listening to.

[@yodatwinkie]

Cry in the name of Corey plz

[@danielleharrison5765]

The lead singer has a brother named Jeremy he's also in the band he plays the drums

[@gamershadow8]

This and The Reason by Hoobastank makes me cry without fail

[@darthtripedacus1]

Me too

[@TigersandBearsOhMy]

"Intense" and "haunting" are certainly the words to describe Justin's music. He's amazing. He's beyond amazing.

[@tiffymcconkey]

I LOVE this song!! There is a live version from a concert and it gives you chills when every one starts singing

[@djtexicano]

I like the live version better myself!

[@riffdagg6701]

Live in Texas I believe your referring to.

[@MangindDerous]

Yeah that live version is fcking amazing his vocals on the live are so much more emotionally powerful than the studio version I love it listen to it every day

[@sephiroth1972]

Try the Manchester Accoustic set. HATE ME is song so differently

[@flutterbyx79]

I love the live version.

[@lazylibra74]

Blue October is amazing! Been loving them since early 2000's. Check out their older albums like Consent to Treatment and History for Sale (my personal fave). Very cathartic and therapeutic at times for myself. xx

[@sweetroll482]

Justin F. has been very open and vocal about the origins of this song and the troubles that he has had with drugs. You should look up one of his "Open Book" shows on here on youtube.

[@paigeherrin29]

I love history for sale

[@luciferluci4570]

still remeber being like 12 and seeing this on much music in canada!!

[@redrune100]

The Argue With a Tree double live album is one of my favorite live albums plus the versions of "Calling You" and "Breakfast After Ten" from it are fantastic. Don't tell anyone but this 40 year old something would cry his eyes out at a Blue October concert like a teenager at a Beatles gig and i consider myself a hard rock/metal head.

[@justinc882]

@@sweetroll482 the open book is easily one of the best shows I've ever been to and I've been to a lot.

[@byarian]

I just saw them this last weekend in Disney World and he sounds exactly like their albums live. A truly amazing live performer!!!

[@kjsilver192]

Can't even count how many Blue October shows I have been to since 2002. Justin , Ryan and the rest of the band were always on their A game. Justin never off had an off night whether it was a Blue October show or a 'Fest' show, they always brought it! And Ryan makes playing the violin the coolest instrument in the world!! Love Blue October always and forever!!

[@Braddicusfinch]

Funny that you started singing Hoobastank's "The Reason", I always put the two together in my head, very similar in their choruses

[@rva]

Yess 🌷

[@AshGTE]

I was wondering when you'd get around to Blue October. The acoustic version of "I hope your happy" shows off Justin's voice. Then listen to the Original version. Totally different delivery.

[@davemc8021]

Great call, love both versions of that song

[@sherrythomas3028]

I just commented this! #greatminds

[@Brootis]

I think the acoustic version is better than the album version.

[@jasmor3069]

Blue October is a damn roller coaster of emotions. By far one of the best and genuine bands out there. They are amazing live. Please please react to more

[@IrishmanMP]

I could watch your reaction to their entire catalog. They're such depth and variety and they're awesome.

[@dnstvn]

Best lyricist in the business. You feel every word from this man. They are my all time favorite band!

[@miketaylor2714]

The singer is the product of my home town. Graduated from the Houston academy for the performing arts. Always nice to see a local boy getting international recognition.

[@fishermanmitch1]

There's a live version of this song, that I've only heard twice, but you can hear his voice crack, and you can tell he's crying when he's singing. Kills me everytime.

[@weepo2651]

Cause this song is a true story about him and his mom

[@luiskaiserlk]

@@weepo2651 It's about him and an ex-girlfriend he had when the band was starting being famous, he said it in a live performance (acoustic version).

[@Fatmantostrongman1987]

This song saved my life 2 years ago love it, the live version brings me to tears

[@nononava]

Believe it or not this band sound so much better live! Most songs r so emotional and their concerts are a whole ass experience. You definitely have to check out more of them.

[@mellvee]

It's even more amazing when you realize that this song came out around 2006. Their music, and Justin as a person, have grown so much since then it's mind blowing.

[@ticomi1]

Great reaction! I'd recommend Blue October - Fear. It's such a emotional song that a lot of people can connect with but most people don't know of it.

[@JessiexWx]

used to always hear this song when tv actually played music on music channels lol keep having this song popping in head since a couple of days so weird to see you just reacted to it , clicked cause it must be a sign loll

[@rhoskinson78]

One time close to 20 years ago, I fell asleep listening to this song on repeat, as I used to do with my favorite songs, and I woke up depressed for like a week! Super emotional, depressing but catchy melodic. Love your reaction to it!

[@michaelschlesinger8882]

I've never seen Rebecca before, but had to subscribe. Very smart and obviously talented. If she was truly not familiar with this song, she managed to nail it. And she has my heart-so pretty:)

[@rva]

Thanks Michael ✨️ you're sweet!

[@WordUnheard]

I've scrolled down and haven't seen anyone recommend the live version from 2015. He sounds so much better, years later, on stage and no back-track, like in this version. You should listen to it. His voice has grown to sound so much better. It's a night and day difference from this, in the best possible way. Here's the title of it: Blue October - Hate Me (10th Anniversary) [Live]

[@WolfTalkings]

My home life was pretty messy. So I love this song even though it still gets me teary eyed. It was about his mother and all the struggles they went through if i remember. I think his mother died but I never had the chance to break the song down. Its a personal hit to me cuz my mom and i do not have a great relationship and do not talk for many reasons. I got my god mother and a few mothers on the side that raised me

[@aarontippery4176]

Can’t play this song with tearing up halfway through the first verse and then bursting into tears for the rest of the song, Justin has turned his pain into something beautiful.

[@montianggara7789]

i Dont care people said Justin fake all his depression, this band is my saviour. i wont be here typing if I wasn't find them back on 2016. This band literally save my life during the lowest time of my life. all the emotion, all the lyric, all the desperate scream that I can feel, all the crying night with Blue October bring back my life. Justin's emotion is one thing that stand out, he is not singing, he tells you his story with all of his heart

[@TIMO-LX]

Blue October has such a special place in my heart. Every song is powerful in its own way. For a true sense of the emotional depth they can put into songs, I HIGHLY recommend anything from "Argue With A Tree (Live)". His live vocals are on another level. Thank you so much for this video!!

[@paynespnz]

So happy you did a reaction to Blue October. My absolute favorite band. Justin's lyrics and vocal always so perfectly deliver the emotion. I would love to see a reaction to any of their other songs but especially Bleed Out. Love your videos.

[@EVERYBODYSFAVORITEPUPPY]

my mom lost her battle with mental health July 20th 2023, this song was the first real thing that made me process her passing and gave me my first, real, big cry over it. i had to be strong for my older sisters and for my moms loved ones and so i packed all my feelings away until i made her memorial video to play at her funeral, and this song was one of three i used .... and i broke. i always loved this song growing up, but now ... now i have a whole new love for this song!

[@rva]

So sorry. Hugs to u

[@29_lets_go]

Blue October is full of masterpieces. Listening to them since 2007 and to many of us they’re more than music.

[@christhechunk4652]

I love that you’ve reacted to this…Justin has such a unique voice and the lyrics while sometimes dark can be very deep. Great choice!

[@Brootis]

This band is amazing to see live! Very powerful shows.

[@laurenmikealson1909]

I'm so happy you found Blue October if you like this song you should definitely check out "My Never" and "Sound of Pulling Heaven Down" the lyrics in these are top tier 10/10

This is the song that I heard that got me to buy the album, and I loved this introduction to Blue October, but I stayed for "18th Floor Balcony" and I hope you give that a reaction as well!

[@jasonjester8125]

First time I've heard this since getting sober. Means much more than ever.

Blue October is such a genuinely good band with so many underrated hits. Into the Ocean, I Hope You're Happy, Oh My My, so many solid hits

[@robertclark2853]

Always Looking amazing Rebecca Thank you for being You!!

[@ImSlipped]

As someone who can't seem to make a relationship last more than 3 months, this song hits really close to home lol. Got a lot of personal issues to sort out.

[@williamglass5368]

The singer of this song has overcome such a hard life of addiction and abuse and it's amazing how his voice changes throughout his older songs the his newer ones

[@helenyoung6246]

I am so insanely happy to see you reacting to one of my favourite bands

[@ronstegall2312]

I did give a hug back!!! It was nice, thank you!!

[@kendragon2012]

Hate me was the first song I ever heard from Blue October about twelve or thirteen years ago. I was instantly hooked and ended up on a multi-year journey following Justin through his darkest struggles with bipolar disorder and troubles with his relationships to nowadays where he in a much better place for the most part. One of the most influential and cathartic bands you could ever encounter. I have massive respect for them.

[@SophiexClaire]

I've been waiting for this! 🙌🏼

[@vaughanbranch8376]

For anyone who has survived depression, addiction, and suicide, for me with myself and my mom and later my with daughter, this song will tear you down and give you peace. Justin and Blue October are a gift. This song crushes and renews me. Thank you.

[@jdeutsch337]

Listen to Blue October for YEARS. I've been waiting for you to find this.

[@victoriamcdonough4199]

Absolutely love this song 🎵 ❤️

[@markp6762]

Those were actual messages his mother left him during his addiction years. And that is his mother in the videos.

[@stefaniverson2739]

Their performance of their song Fear live from Texas is amazing. You would be blown away by some of the notes he hits with his chest voice.

[@renecarrillo9393]

Into the ocean was my introduction to them and still my favorite of theirs/his!

[@justinlamb2864]

My wife turned me on to these guys. She had wanted to see them for years. We've now seen them, and his solo Song Book tours, 7 times. They never disappoint. The emotion he evokes is clearly not feigned.

[@Rajiin]

Every song Justin has ever written is amazing and powerful , I heard this song after arguing with my first baby mom 2007 I think and I was by myself . I melted into a desolate cry . I ran away a week later to Puerto Rico . I made her hate me and today she loves me for it 🥺

[@RedsFan1995]

This song’s gold and is extremely therapeutic for me (due to all of the shit I’ve been through). I’m SO thankful for the great gift of music! 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@elijahb3740]

'it is I Rrrrrrrebecca, I welcome you with a hug'... (*Awkward pause and look while you adjust glasses) 😂😂first time seeing one of yours so maybe you do that at beginning of all your vids, but that was a good laugh 👍👍

[@forevernyt]

I'm so glad you finally got around to one of my favorite groups. I would suggest Fear live or not and The Feel Again. I mentioned before, he sings straight from the heart. The sadder the song the better. Thank you.

[@sdzinkforever3353]

Fear was my first song i heard by Blue October… Meant a lot and it spoke to me… This song is priceless!!!! ❤

I have stood about ten feet from Justin as he belted out his best stuff for two hours, and I have to say it was amazing throughout. Wonderful voice, raw and true.

Oh I would LOVE for you to continue down this rabbit hole!!! PLEASE do this song and "fear" but the live versions. He is just a brilliant performer!!!

[@philstone3859]

I have to say this too. There are a handful of reactors that I really like and correspond with on a semi-regular basis. Well, we don’t really correspond so much (you and I) as comment briefly. You are still on my short list. A very small, select group of less than 5. I am very glad you are in that group. That won’t change. You Rock RVA! It’s not just about content. It’s about people who I could really be friends with outside of this. Solid people, good people with good hearts. That’s my criteria. And a sense of humor! Ha Ha! Or you would have never gotten on so well with me. For that, I love and thank you. Peace, Phil

[@moiralyn23]

If you do more of Blue October, you really can't pick a "bad" song, or a "lesser" song. All of their stuff just hits. Justin's voice is one of my all time favorites, I could listen to him all day every day. And he's so genuine. I recommend you listen to all their music. "Fear" would be a good one to react to though (among, seriously, all the rest of their music lol).

[@stationdisatrous647]

I get goosebumps every time that bridge hits🤩🔥🤘🤘

This album came out with perfect timing for my first big breakup. Somehow it's still the go-to break up album when that happens. The emotions just feel so raw in this song as well as others on the album.

[@streborsemaj2173]

This album “foiled” brings back some very strong nostalgia. Classic high school soundtrack for me
