I interpreted it as if he's not gonna love the girl in a sloppy way, she either has to go or has to stay because he won't love her in any sloppy way , he either loves her right when she stays or doesn't love her at all when she leaves but he's not gonna love her "either way"
@@luisinacasirola this is a super interesting point of view I’ve never thought of. I personally think the song is a beautiful story about the opposite of love not being hate, but indifference
The song was originally recorded by Lee Ann Womack for her 2008 Call Me Crazy record. Stapleton explained why he redid the tune nine years later for his From a Room: Volume 1 album: "My wife always loved that song, which should worry me, but she just loves really slow sad songs and she always wanted me to play that song So, I felt led to do it and if I'm gonna sing something, I'm gonna sing it with every ounce of belief and try to put every bit of believability in a lyric that I can."
The first time I heard this song, I did cry,,like a baby..Chris Stapleton reaches in and snatches your soul..his power and emotion in his voice are out of this world,,
Well if he doesn’t spend time with you or treat you with respect then it tends to end that way...been there, learned that, and moved on... hope all is well
It is sad that so many people find themselves in loveless relationships .. just going through the motions , without the love they once had , this song is a perfect expression of that .. good job men .. thanks
This song is so hard because it fits so many marriages. People stay together even if they don't love each other and it's really quite sad. I love this song its so real and down to the bone.
One song that touches my heart is this one. His songs are so amazing. He is one artist that can make me tear up on multiple songs. Geez he is so talented. He sings from the soul. He writes his own songs. He is an original by far. You can’t compare Chris to anyone.
OMG just hearing this song for the first time and describes my first marriage to a tee. I went to bed after covering my husband on the couch and prayed for a way out and next morning found him dead. Not what I had in mind but at least I was out of a very bad relationship
In yet another testament to Chris' otherworldly talent, he was doing the guitar string "finger slide squeak" *on purpose* to add resonance to the notes. 🤯🤯🤯
Poet,Storyteller,This is a Deep Thinker,Have in understanding in the way we think,Because he watch and pay attention,time stand still for him,and he sings. And described what most of us are going thru.A Master at his best!!!
As a fella Eastern Kentuckian as he and Morgane and Tyler Childers....I just have to say, look how intimate he is with his guitar. Just he and his baby in his hands. He has a full on relationship with not only his voice but his guitar. I grew up knowing Chris before he was Chris. He comes back home and gives free concerts yearly. The best man ever. Period. Any music. Any genre.
I interpreted this as their love is what it is. Theyre just going through day after day. He doesn't love her in the way he/she wants or deserves and together or apart, he doesn't love her either way. Thanks guys!
I 'discovered' Chris when he performed with JT at the CMAs, as well, and was equally blown away. I spent the next couple hours scouring YT for everything he'd ever done. The first time I heard Either Way, I sobbed. Same with Barely Alive. He has the ability to reach into your soul and make you feel everything he's singing, both through his lyrics and his vocal abilities, even if you've never experienced it personally. He's incredibly special and 100% legendary.
Loved the way Stan was taking the song, then - bam - 180 out. Because this song is not what you expect it to be. The long suffering broken hearted lover was in the previous verses of the song that we never get to hear. He's given all he had to give. It's over. And only Chris can tell it.
Besides being an amazingly talented singer, musician he brings the emotion that hits right in the soul. As they say this man isn't singing, he's sanging. Chris makes me feel, and I love it.
The song is about any failed relationship. Most people try too long to save something that is no longer there. They are only together still merely out of convenience or fear of Not having someone. I had this. Wish I hadn't waisted so much time before realizing what it was.
This ain’t Morgane’s you are my sunshine (lol) but I’m here for it. How many artist do you know that sound better live. And do sooo many songs live compared to music videos nowadays. This man ❤️
The brilliance of Chris...On his CD the song following this one is called I Was Wrong. Going from the lack of love feel of this song to the apologetic/shameless begging feel of that one is pretty much the climax of the story told if you listen to the CD from beginning to end in order.
I'm so glad you heard us. Love this and ALL of his songs. People get emotional because they can relate to what he says. I believe a lot of country songs are life experiences.
Hi'yall I'm new to your channel. Nice to meet the both of you❤️. It Is a fact this mans vocals are phenomenal, that's one unequivocal truth. There's not a soul on Earth that would probably dispute that. I myself love how humble he is. But there is one other thing a lot of people might not realize. He is also ambidextrous, I only noticed it because I too am ambidextrous. Oftentimes you'll notice he's strumming his guitar via the opposite hand. It just adds to his technical ability. Anyway just wanted to introduce myself And give props to the both of you. I find you both refreshing! Lisa
It sounds like both are done if you see to this part of the lyrics. Guess it mirrors the kind of relationship that is done but no one takes the step to break up. No love, no interaction, Time just passes with no joy for anyone of them. "We pass in the hall on our way to separate rooms The only time we'll ever talk is when the monthly bills are due We go to work, we go to church We fake the perfect life "
I hear a man that has resigned himself to a loveless relationship. We live together, we go through the motions. But this has gone on so long I have cried all my tears and now it simply is what it is. Leave or stay, I won't love you either way. How sad that some people would reduce themselves willingly to such a life.
Thank you so much for introducing me to Chris Stapleton guys😁👌Gotta admit that I was just lurking around your channel exploring Chris' playlist and enjoying the dynamic between you two but when we both went to Google for the lyrics at the exact same moment I knew I had to subscribe LOL ✌😜Appreciate all the awesome content!
There are also a half-dozen acoustic videos of songs Chris wrote as No. 1s for other artists. Great songs, great Chris and he does not play them currently. "Comeback Song", "Never Wanted Nothing More," "Love's Gonna Make It Alright."
Good idea about hiring Chris to get their girls back. Every male reaction I have watched listening to this had tears in their eyes. This brings times, I think, men want to do what is right even through their is nothing left in the relationship. Not saying we women don't feel that way, too. But, I just believe a lot of men stay even when the love is gone, because they feel it's what they have to do.
He's a perfect example of the difference between hearing a song and feeling a song.
Chris Stapleton always sings his songs like it’s the last time he’ll get to sing them! So much feeling! One of the greatest right now.
One of the greatest of all time, let's be honest.
One of the greatest EVER. Nah... THE greatest ever
"You can go or you can stay. I won't love you either way". That is COLD!!!
That is love. Someone always gets hurt until you find the one.
I interpreted it as if he's not gonna love the girl in a sloppy way, she either has to go or has to stay because he won't love her in any sloppy way , he either loves her right when she stays or doesn't love her at all when she leaves but he's not gonna love her "either way"
it's not cold....she feels the same wayyy
@@luisinacasirola this is a super interesting point of view I’ve never thought of. I personally think the song is a beautiful story about the opposite of love not being hate, but indifference
Its truth when he wrote it.
You don’t listen to a Stapleton song, you feel it from deep in your gut and your heart!
Chris is one of the few artists who can bring tears to my eyes with not just one but multiple songs.
Yes
Goose bumps also !!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol❤️
He can tear your heart out of your body like no one else!
Same here. Excepional Talent 👌
Notice how far he's standing from the mike. Power...
That song just crushes your soul, doesn't it? So sad, but so beautiful. A masterpiece

The first time I heard this song, I did cry,,like a baby..Chris Stapleton reaches in and snatches your soul..his power and emotion in his voice are out of this world,,
I lived this song, after 47 years I’ve had enough.
I'm so sorry, my friend. Best wishes.
Well if he doesn’t spend time with you or treat you with respect then it tends to end that way...been there, learned that, and moved on... hope all is well
Good for you!
I feel you, this was me after 26 years...I was done.
Way to do you man. Life is short best to live it happy as can be.
He won a grammy for this song-It's easy to see why-perfection in action.
It is sad that so many people find themselves in loveless relationships .. just going through the motions , without the love they once had , this song is a perfect expression of that .. good job men .. thanks
His voice and his guitar can break your spirit. An AMAZING artist. He's so broken singing this song. You can feel his pain.
Yeah, when Chris Stapleton don't love you either way, you're f'd.
He's GOD'S GIFT TO US!
This song is so hard because it fits so many marriages. People stay together even if they don't love each other and it's really quite sad. I love this song its so real and down to the bone.

Stans shirt says it all "whaaat?" Lol, priceless reaction!
“Nobody to Blame” by Chris Stapleton is AWESOME too!!
In yet another testament to Chris' otherworldly talent, he was doing the guitar string "finger slide squeak" *on purpose* to add resonance to the notes.
🤯🤯🤯
Poet,Storyteller,This is a Deep Thinker,Have in understanding in the way we think,Because he watch and pay attention,time stand still for him,and he sings. And described what most of us are going thru.A Master at his best!!!
This song tears me apart
"Baby, you can go or you can stay, but I won't love you either way". Oh god my heart.
Broken Halos Chris STAPLETON!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE STAN!!! GOD BLESS!
Thanks!! I am honored
This is the first song that drew out the tears this much...I lived this. I loved the honest response.
As a fella Eastern Kentuckian as he and Morgane and Tyler Childers....I just have to say, look how intimate he is with his guitar. Just he and his baby in his hands. He has a full on relationship with not only his voice but his guitar. I grew up knowing Chris before he was Chris. He comes back home and gives free concerts yearly. The best man ever. Period.

Stapleton simplicity and complexity with no ego-you go bro!!!!
If you think he belts out on this you really need to hear " I was wrong". It will leave your jaw on the floor.
They have already done that one and it is amazing !
Stapleton is a living legend 💯💯💯💯
I interpreted this as their love is what it is. Theyre just going through day after day. He doesn't love her in the way he/she wants or deserves and together or apart, he doesn't love her either way. Thanks guys!
His voice is raw and it strips your soul bare.
Please react to Chris Stapleton singing his song “Whiskey and You”!! Omg!! 😵 Y’all will not regret it!! Simply AMAZING!!! ❤️
To be fair, anything Chris Stapleton does is amazing.
If you're married.....this one will get ya! Brutally perfect!
He makes you FEEL things.
Love your reaction to Stapleton, please react to "Whiskey & You" & Daddy Doesn't Pray Here Anymore".
AnnieM 40 Ruby and Rocky Top my favorites!👍🏻
Please whiskey and you is amazing
love these songs, devil named music is great too

Chris Stapleton is out of this world; the three of you have something in common - keep up the great work guys, you are a pleasure to watch. 👍
Chris opens his mouth... and the world STOPS.

Whiskey and You by Chris guys........another great one
Loved it. One song I hadn't heard yet. Love you fellas! Keep them coming! 💞✌
This is the song that made me realize divorce was the right choice. Stapleton got me through one of the hardest points of my life.
“Baby you can go or you can stay. I won’t love you either way.” That is brutal and the end! He’s DONE!!!!
Besides being an amazingly talented singer, musician he brings the emotion that hits right in the soul. As they say this man isn't singing, he's sanging. Chris makes me feel, and I love it.
Oh good lord thanks you. This is one of my absolute favorites of his.
Thanks so much!
Amazing song. And you guys got the best live performance too! Keep up the GREAT work guys
The first time I heard this was about 6 months after my divorce and I LOST IT! This song....😭
All he needs to say is I Was Wrong and I'm back. That's the phone message I need to hear. Of course I would never have left in the first place.
I know this is a year old but.......So many men have such foolish pride. If they could just make that one call. Marriage isn't easy but it's worth it.
Hats off to my man allowing the joy to come out freely in his reaction. Your not the only one, gets me ever time he sings.
Ohhhhhhhh finally guys, I was waiting for your reaction to this song, thank you so much, you're amazing both of you. 👌👍✌
The song is about any failed relationship. Most people try too long to save something that is no longer there. They are only together still merely out of convenience or fear of Not having someone.
I had this. Wish I hadn't waisted so much time before realizing what it was.
Man, respect for not holding back your emotions. Beautiful. And real!
Millionaire and Parachute, both by Chris Stapleton
Chris is timeless. Be timeless
This ain’t Morgane’s you are my sunshine (lol) but I’m here for it. How many artist do you know that sound better live. And do sooo many songs live compared to music videos nowadays. This man ❤️
If you liked this one maybe look into whiskey and you or nobody to blame. Thank you guys!
Love this song. Great channel guys
2:17 is my exact reaction to anything Chris, especially Either Way. Ya'll are dope!
jompson brothers live at the shedd " the river" or chris "fool me again"
WOW!!! The man knows how to write these real deep songs!!!!
The brilliance of Chris...On his CD the song following this one is called I Was Wrong. Going from the lack of love feel of this song to the apologetic/shameless begging feel of that one is pretty much the climax of the story told if you listen to the CD from beginning to end in order.
I understand the song perfectly, passion is gone and staying together out of guilt or convenience. Been there
I like y’all as a duo, make me laugh and y’all know what you’re talking about
I'm so glad you heard us. Love this and ALL of his songs. People get emotional because they can relate to what he says. I believe a lot of country songs are life experiences.
CHRIS STAPLETON- FOOL ME AGAIN ;)
This is a Powerful song 💯💯💯💯💯I love this song 🎶
Love your reactions!
I am so impressed by how his guitar playing communicates his lyrics as well.
Been waiting on this one!! Great reaction!! ❤️
It’s a beautifully sad song. Love and loss resonate, they’re both in a loveless marriage.
I think you guys would really enjoy The White Buffalo, I would suggest starting with his performance of 'The Whistler' at the Guitar Center
Great song!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you for your time and your honesty .

"We pass in the hall on our way to separate rooms
The only time we'll ever talk is when the monthly bills are due
We go to work, we go to church

He makes you feel the heartache of the ending of a long term marital relationship and the resolution that it can't be fixed.
There’s a Tweet out there, where someone asked him if it was “won’t Or Gonna”
Chris responded simply” Won’t”
Love Chris. He is an amazing singer
WHISKEY AND YOU PLEEEASEEEEEEEE
Ps. You guys are awesome!
Barely Alive acoustic version
Scarecrow in the garden
I love your reactions! so honest!
I hear a man that has resigned himself to a loveless relationship. We live together, we go through the motions. But this has gone on so long I have cried all my tears and now it simply is what it is. Leave or stay, I won't love you either way. How sad that some people would reduce themselves willingly to such a life.
Chris could sing my cereal box and it would come out amazing!

Please do "Barely Alive" acoustic by Chris Stapleton
Still hoping for You are my Sunshine by Morgane Stapleton with Chris. ;)
We did it, just haven't put it out yet. Should be out soon!!!!
Chrs Stapleton, what's that? Started as curiosity now it's a full blown obsession.....
Give Dwight Yoakam's "Buenos noches from a lonely room" live at Austin City Limits. That one has a dark tone as well.
Barely Alive, Barely Alive, Barely Alive...
NOW, THIS IS HOW MAN SHOULD REACT TO THIS SONG, ITS HEARTH BREAKING.
Chris sings like the man I want to be.
If I listen to this I have to open a bottle of wine. And cry.
Little known fact, the original title of the song, that he decided not go to with, was "F**k It"
