I love that he says Fire Away, take your best shot. Honey I'm not afraid. He's saying he's not leaving her, no matter what she throws at him.
That’s sweet as long he comes back with a song called a m not your punching bag lol
@@johnleitermann4353 once you realize the comfort it takes to even be a punching bag for someone with mental health, you’ll understand that even that is the utmost perfect thing your could be for said person.
@@johnleitermann4353been a psychiatric nurse for a long time and a mental health counselor for 15 years before. I hope that you’re family escapes any form of mental illness. It’s unlikely but I really do hope it for you. I do agree that no one should be anybody else’s punching bag. But love makes us humans do crazy things. And I use the word crazy in only that context ✌🏻
I think he wrote and recorded this when he and his wife were separated for awhile. I'm so glad they worked things out,!
As the mother of a bipolar daughter this is the closest I’ve seen to what it’s like to live with this disease. He did an amazing job and the lyrics scream what we say to our loved ones.
This was my family life my mother committed suicide when i was twelve and my daddy never stop loving her.
My youngest daughter has tendencies of bipolar. Doctors refuse to try diagnosis it because they don’t want to “title” her that young with bipolar. My wife says they’re bio father has similar tendencies but refused to seek medical help. We are a blended family and I am the stepfather but my kids don’t like to call me that lol My children (3) have all experienced multiple traumatic events 1 of 3 is also autistic. So my home is constantly putting out fires daily. This song is very spot on with dealing with constant worries throughout each day with those you love who suffer with mental/emotional illness. My heart goes out to all those who are brave enough to take such a task on. It’s truly not for everyone.
Me too Heidi, it's so heartbreaking, and frustrating...mine also has scizafrinia 😪
I've lived it as well. My ex daughter in law is bipolar. It's so sad on every level.
It’s a terrible thing as a parent to know your own child might not make it. It’s a deep worry of mine, less so recently but after the last several years it won’t ever go away.
Chris Stapleton is just in a class by himself.
Broken halos, millionaire, joy of my life,parachute, hes never opened his mouth without gold spilling out, he is a generational talent.
The lyrics to this song are heartbreakingly beautiful - "pretend I'm a shelter for heartaches that don't have a home". He's accepting that she's going to toss blame at him for things he didn't do, for past traumas, for the things that she has no explanation or no one else to blame for them. He loves her and he'll bear anything for her that he can bear. It's just that no other person can bear the full weight of another person's mental illness, no matter how desperately they might want to.
Then the chorus "Fire away, take your best shot, show me what you got, honey, I'm not afraid..." He's willing to bear the pain of whatever hurtful things she might say, whatever she might throw at him, if it can help her in some way... but ultimately he wasn't enough. You can't heal someone else no matter how badly you want to.
Beautiful
And you can't be with them every minute of every single day to protect them from themselves. no matter how much you love them....... He saved her as many times as he could. Very sad.
It wasn't about having the couple's fight. It's the fight of mental health. He was saying, when she's fighting the demon of mental health she can fire away at him, he will be there for her, don't hurt herself, she can say anything to hurt him; he will still be there for her, he can take it. A lot of people can't handle the stress of being with someone with mental health issues but, he's telling her he's not going anywhere. He can handle her tough days. Living with bipolar myself, it is rare to find someone willing to ride that rollercoaster with you because it's never ending. You can manage how high & low the ride goes but, you can never get off.
Sebs, people send you these hard songs because you do show your emotion and you do get it. When we see that in a person we want them to share in what we already know, from the painful songs to the love songs, we see the way you are with your wife and kids and that's why the community is sending you these songs.
The thing that breaks my heart everytime I see this video is at the end when the doctors are working on her and they keep asking him questions and he gets frustrated because he can't tell them anything and he says "I didn't find her!" Through The whole video, he was able to find her before she got hurt, but in the end he wasn't there to save her from her illness 💔
Filmed like a movie. I've never seen a better visual depiction of depression than walking barefoot through cornstalks. Or a better depiction of someone living with a loved one who is struggling with depression than searching that field of cornstalks.
Chris has created his own lane-Blues-Soul-Country-Rock -We feel every word!
🦢🌺🦢🙏🏽🦢🌺🦢👵🏽🤘🏾
My daughter suffers from bipolar and other mental health issues and I thank God she is still with me, but this song makes me think of her and I cry every time. Chris Stapleton does not have a bad song.
His live versions are usually the best, but this video is so powerful and his vocals just tear at your soul. A great, great song.
In addition to Chris’ incredible song writing and voice, Ben Foster is a great actor who really brings his all to the video.
Chris Stapleton did a lot of research and put a lot of respect and advocacy into mental illness awareness into this video. It shows the extreme highs and lows of being mentally ill and the ones that try to save their loved ones. It also shows the representation that even as a cop, who saves so many, couldn't save his loved one from her mental illness on his own. Acceptance, awareness, and action, stopping the taboo and speaking openly about these issues, helping your loved one to get help is how we save one another. 💚 ; your story isn't over yet
My husband attempted suicide this past year in July. The flash backs of the good and bad times gets me every time. What we have to understand about mental health is that you can love someone with your whole being and sometimes that’s not enough when someone is struggling with mental health. It took me a long time to realize that and to get rid of the guilt I felt about everything that happened. This song means so much to us. Thank you for the reaction ❤
So so true. My wife lost her battle with mental illness last May and I can't watch this video without getting emotional.
Some times the only one you can save is you. Low contact may hurt , but staying hurts more.
Chris Stapleton is a country/blues or country/rock guy, but he is indeed country. His music is fantastic, he's written many hit songs for others in multiple genres. He had stage fright until he overcame it, and started performing, as well as, continuing his songwriting. Love your reactions to country, and especially to Mr. Chris Stapleton.
He’s an amazing songwriter, he used to just write songs for other people then he was encouraged to sing his own songs. He’s amazing
Chris Stapleton is a LEGEND. Enjoy the journey.
I’m dealing with my 13 yr old daughter going through her own mental health battle right now. This song is so relatable to me and it’s so heartbreaking! Appreciate the reaction. Love the channel!
I will be praying for your daughter. I deal with mental health issues all day, every day so I know her pain. I will pray for her to hopefully find some peace and healing. God bless you both!
Wish you the best, just be there for her and hopefully your love helps her through it.
Prayers for you and your family.
@@TexasMagnolia thank you!
I just said a prayer for her claim her healing in Jesus's name Jesus not only can heal us physically but he also can heal us mentally and renew our minds God bless you and your family in Jesus's name amen amen
My prayers go out to those who suffer with depression and bi polar. It breaks me to watch the video and feel the pain. I cannot imagine living it.
I saw him in concert and the whole audience sang this song with him.
I suffer from Bipolar Depression and Social Anxiety disorders, the moods from AC to DC can be violent and fast, light to dark are a split second and the lonliness is just breathtaking as you seek just one soul out there who gets you. I am blessed to have such a loving wife by my side. This song is very powerful and the video should serve as a warning to all, the laughter sometimes mask the tears so pay even more attention to the tears.
Chris does have some happy songs. Try "You Are My Sunshine " Him and his wife sing . He let's his wife do the lead. She is a great artist in her own right .
He isn't fighting with her, he's fighting for her. This is an ultimate love song: I am here for you no matter what.
He's his own genre. It's a mix of several & why I think Chris is so loved.
My soul mate has bipolar disorder and we're still going strong after 23 years! ❤ the ups , the downs, the unsteady, all worth it !!! It's not easy on us but imagine being them? That's not easy! It's not easy to live with regrets and hard truths. Love them, they love you unconditionally. 😍 I would never trade my life with my husband even if at times I wished I could! ❤
The music is what's doing it to me. Sad, depressed sounding THEN his voice on top of all that...
Chris is donating all of the proceeds of this song to the organization mentioned at the end of the video. If I put a link here my comment will be blocked, but you can also find more information about the organization, the song, the actors and Chris in a short "Making of Fire Away," video on YT. Not to react to, just background and it gives a peek into the humble mind of Chris. He's an amazing artist and seems to be an amazing human, as well.
You should watch him and his wife sing it live. Perfection.
To me the man is telling her, throw anything at me. It doesn't matter what you're going through, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stand by you and we'll figure this out together.
Seven years ago the love of my life took her own life. The most beautiful soul that I ever knew. She brought so much joy into this world but struggled to find her own.
I appreciate Chris Stapleton’s voice. I appreciate your reaction to this song. I appreciate you for shining the light on the continued need for addressing mental health. Thank you.
I would drive across the country to hear Chris Stapleton sing.
This is a great song, Chris’ voice is impeccable…..love the awareness for mental health and ur reaction was perfect!!!! ❤️
It's truly terrifying how lonely you can feel, even when around those you love. Depression doesn't give a damn.
Good luck finding a bad song from Chris Stapleton.
I don't think that is possible unless he records a song bad on purpose...
No doubt!!
So true man, he is just perfect
Amen. Even if he sang the headlines of the news it would be perfect!!!
@Fierce Taurian I don't think that's even possible. He could burp and make it sound good.
He's telling her instead of fighting the emotions, the anger, the sadness in her head, direct it at him, let it all out bc he can take it...lay back and take aim..and fire away...
His voice is haunting enough, without the subject matter.
Chris Stapleton has a powerful voice, and it lends to his story telling in his music!
Chris Stapleton duo with Justin Timberlake "Tennessee Whiskey and Drink Her Away " 2015 CMA
(Country Music Awards) freaking awesome duet. Takes you to church and back again.
Chris' wife is on stage with them. Phenomenal
He's the bartender if no one else mentioned it😭
I struggle with mental illness and I respect the woman for having her courage to stop the madness. I wish I had her strength
It is painful to see others going thru pain. But it helps us to become true empathetic being. We can become a better world by understanding other people. Thanks for sharing.
I heard this one once on the radio, liked it, but when I watched the video for the first time I broke down and cried like a baby.
The video was pretty intense
I think this video also shows that the survivor's guilt, if you lose someone, is normal, but also that no matter how hard you try or how much you love someone, sometimes they still go away and you will still be hurting from it. I know I ask myself all the time what if I had stayed with her, what if I had married her like we talked about, but in the end, she still went away and I'm not sure that anything I might have done could have changed that.
Love this song, another great song for mental health awareness is five finger Death Punch’s “A reason to fight” Official concert video
This song.. every time.. I have PTSD, my husband was bipolar, he committed suicide 26 years ago. I called the police so many times... until the one time I didn't. Now I'm going to school to be a Psychologist. I hope my pain and things I've learned can help. Also, if someone says they're going to do it.. believe them. Reach out to the broken and love the unlovable. They're crying out for help.
I'm glad he did this song. If someone is mentally ill, they may not be able to reason well if they are having an episode. 😢 It is sad. It reminds me of the bravery of the ones who stay and work at helping their loved one when they "fire away" .
Another great reaction. Depression is no joke. My wife deals with it which means I deal with it too. The highs and lows in this video are so true. This song gets to me every time I hear it.
This song kicks ass.... love you Chris💙this song will blow you away
My brother committed suicide 40 years ago when he was 26 years old. It hurts as much now as it did back then and there is always a certain amount of blame even when you know it is not your fault. It is a hard row to hoe.
My best friend took her life in 2017. I have spent years wondering if we had talked that day if she wouldn't have done it. This song and video always gets to me.
I'm so sorry. I definitely feel your pain and understand the agony you're feeling. 🙏
Being an instrumentalist most of my 64 years one of the things that is hard to pick up is feeling a song but when you you sing it you finally find out what the secret sauce is. When you put those words in your mouth and say them out loud all of a sudden the bells are ringing because it all makes sense. Country is based in story telling and there's very little filler or flash. It's telling you the story without any commercials to bog you down or distract you. I appreciate your openness and candor and willingness to share how you feel. I just recently subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward to more of your observations.
Life can be so very hard. There’s so many people who have mental problems and so many who have loved ones that suffer from this. Country music is story telling. You should watch KEN BURNS documentary of country music. Once you do you’ll completely understand it. I promise.
I love me some Chris Stapleton his voice is incredible ✨🎶🎶🎶🎶✌🏽never a bad song ! Facts !!!
You aren't the only one that just FEELS THE PAIN with this song! Check out "She" by Jelly Roll if you haven't heard or seen it yet, it's another one that will bring out all the feels...
-Love from Southern Illinois ❤️
This song is so powerful.
This song hits a little too close to home. My wife struggled with mental illness and addiction until she couldn't anymore. She took her own life five years ago and im just hoping to be with her again soon
I am bipolar so relate to this.
The one phrae my husband said once in one of my manic moments. "LET ME LOVE YOU! Let me give you the unconditional love you want. It's right here all you have to do is let me." That was honestly a turning point for me to get into therapy, to take my meds. To do what I needed so I could let him love me.
I lost my only child my son by suicide. He was 25 and suffered with demons for many tyears. It is so hard to be left with the feeling that I failed. I was supposed to protect him💔💔💔
I always hope that people who suggest this song warn people about the context ❤
Mental health system is broken. Thanks for bringing awareness to it. Fire away is the perfect song & video for mental health. My family has been dealing with this for generations. My biological father & his mother dealt with it too. My biological father shot himself in the head. My grown son is schizophrenic & refuses to stay on his meds every time he has been released from hospital commitment. The man I called my Daddy who adopted me & raised me & took me to a psychiatrist & psychologist when I was a kid died of cancer in 1982. He was the CEO of a psychiatric hospital. I went into labor with his namesake on the day of his funeral. I have never needed my Daddy's help more than I need him now to help me with the grandson & his namesake that he never got to meet. Insurance doesn't even want to pay for psychiatrist's anymore like it did back then when I was growing up. You have to see counselors, social workers, therapists several times for only about 20 minutes (30 if you're lucky & they think your case is serious enough) before you can ever even meet the psychiatrist. Then the psychiatrist doesn't spend an hour with you like they did with me at every appointment when I was a kid because insurance doesn't want to pay for it anymore. Insurance companies acts as if psychiatrists & psychologists aren't even real doctors anymore & does not want to pay them. Too many mental health facilities have been shut down & there is always a waiting list to get a bed for a psychiatric patient when you need one. My Daddy would be shocked to know the way the mental health system is today compared to when he was alive & CEO of a psychiatric hospital. Laws need to be changed. Thank you Sebs for reacting to this song. I always enjoy your reactions. Thank your Chris Stapleton for this song & video called Fire Away. It brings awareness to mental health.
Anyone who has ever dealt with suicide and mental health issues will resonate with this song. And will watch in tears when they see Chris live.
This is in many ways my story. I lost my wife to suicide after many years of mental health struggles. There were a lot of good times followed by bad times as we navigated it all… I just wish I could have done more.
Another great reaction Bro, Don't stop doing what you're doing. God Bless
I was never a huge country fan. But I love this guy, he has one of the best voices of all time. Soulfulness that touches your heart and soul. I saw an interview with him, he’s incredibly humble. Thank you Chris for being YOU!
You NEED to listen to Sometimes I Cry by Chris!
Oh I just love you🙌🏼 this song is sooooo amazing and touching
You are the first reactor to catch that he had blood on his neckline right off the bat. I saw it right off. Chris Stapleton was the bartender in the video. This song is freaking amazing. The video is beautifully heartbreaking.
This is the only actual music video that Chris has done. There is a "the making of Fire Away" video where Chris, the actor who plays the husband and the director talk about the message and the reason why Chris wanted to do this. You should definately check that out on your own if you ever get a chance.
How much you love your wife and your girls is a beautiful thing to hear you talk about!
I am grateful that you understand this song/video. I appreciate your sensitivity to mental health issues.
- Renée Suzanne
And now "Concrete Angels" by Martina McBride. Martina was basically told by Garth Brooks that she was to good to be his backup singer, then she went out and used her musical platform to raise issues that were being hidden.
Sorry I can't afford patreon but I wish you would do many more of Chris's works. He belongs to many genre's. Thanks Dan.
Bawling my eyes out. This resonates to close to home. What a song.
A true song of love and loyalty.
Country music is about life! Live is Love, found and lost! That's the very basics of life, Love found, and love lost!
There are happy fun country songs Chris Stapleton is a legend.
Chris Stapleton is timeless. Be like Chris. Thanks for the reaction. I have ptsd. Mental health is real. Like really real. He is better live. Talk about it. If you're struggling. Talk to me.
With this song, he is bringing mental illness to the front. This young lady is portraying someone going through the battle of Bipolar illness. I have worked with people with bipolar and the meds really don't help that much and are hard on the body.
This video makes me ugly cry every time. It is so powerful, heartbreaking and speaks loudly.
Me too but I have come around. Have always loved Willie Nelson but Chris Stapleton blew me away!!! His National Anthem brought me to tears!!! Love your reactions. New fan. Huge fan already!! Thank you for being so real!! Love your true emotion!! Really comes through!! ❤❤❤
This is my favorite song from Stapleton! Love it
not sure if I got the same take as you did when you said about "fight with a love one"...I really didnt see them fighting...My take was he knew that she had issues and he loved her so much that he just told her to fire away, whatever issues we have, we can get thru it together. At the end, his love just wasnt enough to save her. :( That was my take. Thanks for the reaction...been enjoying your channel so much!!!!
You’re an awesome guy, Sebs! Love your channel!
everyone talks about Tennessee Whiskey and he does do a great job. But this song to me is Chris's best song of HIS.
Love Chris Stapleton.. Cold is one of my favorites of his.
I lost my mother 6 days ago. My heart is breaking. I spent my days caring for her as she was unable to care for herself. Now I don’t know what to do with myself everyday. Everything reminds me of her and I find myself crying all day long. I don’t even want to get out of bed everyday. I’m so depressed that nothing interests me. I used to love cooking but I haven’t cooked a meal since she passed. I don’t even care about eating. I hurt so badly some days that I wonder how to go on. If your mom is alive please appreciate her and tell her how you feel about her. You may not get that chance again.
I love your wife Ali. U are forever fortunate to be blessed. Take care of her n your 2 little girls. You seem insusist on being their hero❤
The people who suffer from mental illnesses like severe depression, chronic anxiety, paranoia, PTSD... etc aren't the only people who suffer. The families, the spouses, the partners, the children and friends ALL suffer. It is exhausting, frustrating, heartbreaking and can be debilitating to constantly worry about, care for, love, rescue and problem solve for those in the horrible world of mental illnesses. The saddest part is all, that is done for some can't make them want to live. This song/vid shows that clearly. I love his voice, too. So much soul and grit. Pitch perfect every time. Great reaction and sorry your sweet wife isn't there for a hug.
Hi there, a big new fan from Canada. I just discovered you last night, I watched your reaction to Hardy stay in the truck. I've been binge-watching your videos you just touched me you are such a beautiful person and I am truly happy that you have a good wife and two beautiful daughters, because you are a big sensitive teddy bear 🐻 God bless you 👋🇨🇦❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This situation is so real- check on your people! The quiet ones, the happy ones, the busy and successful ones-- these people disguise their pain with happy so they dont have to answer questions -- People arent able to reach out.. their pain makes them numb and immobile-- reach in!
Chris is incredible. For his range check him out “Blue Side of the Mountain” when he was part of The Steeldrivers or check out “Barely Alive” when he was part of the rock group The Jompson Brothers.
You really should check out Ode to Billie Joe by Bobbie Gentry, she has an amazing voice. This song tells a story of young love that ends tragically. The song won Grammy’s and was a huge crossover hit. There was even a movie made from the song. Check it out, you will love it.
Please don't be afraid to show emotions, especially not with a song like this. I bet that the fact that men aren't "allowed" to show weakness leads to a lot of both aggression and depression. Loved the video.
I love this song… I am really glad your liking country music
People will listen to Chris Stapleton and say “he’s not country, he’s more blues”…. But that’s after listening to songs like “Tennessee Whiskey”, “I was wrong”, “I cry”… he has other songs that have a more “country feel”… he’s also previously sang in a Bluegrass band called “the Steeldrivers”… and I believe a rock band as well lol….Bottom line is he’s his own genre 😂 and can sing the phone book 🔥
Chris is a good ole ky boy and I've been listening to him for yes
Great reaction! You have became my new favorite reactor! Please would you react to
Cole Swindell "You Should be Here"?!
And Vince Gill feat Patty Lovelace and Ricky Skaggs "Go Rest High on that Mountain" ?!
I found my brother unresponsive from an accidental overdose in "09"
My Dad was murdered in "13" and I lost my sister to alcoholism two week after her 51rst birthday in 2021.
I love the way you love your beautiful wife and daughters!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions when reacting.
There is a great interview with Chris talking about why he wrote this song and making the video. He said he wanted to write about the worst thing that could happen to him, and Fire Away was the result.
Biggest anchor I had in my life while being newly diagnosed with PTSD (combat - military) was my wife and our dog. She put up with a lot and was there for me when I hit some of my low points. Sadly, those were the happier times in my life. Divorced (2019) and dog died (Oct 2023). 😅
i am always kind of amazed that people don't pick up on his grief that even as a first responder type person, he couldn't save the wife he loves so. As a person in this wife's shoes, I picked up on this subtext immediately.
