Chris Stapleton Acoustic Version of BARELY ALIVE

I'm re-uploading this for all the fans! I recorded this in Atlanta at Eddie's Attic on March 13, 2013.

[@garyglardon5140]

I'm pretty sure the microphone needed a cigarette after this performance

[@deontrellwilliams7423]

Fucking facts there

[@Lissa71]

Best comment here. LOL

Hell, I don't smoke and I needed a cigarette!!! He's just AWESOME!!!!

[@jrgdude]

I agree. His work with steeldrivers is also incredible

[@lucassmith1319]

Same here Bro!!!!

[@jfagan8824]

Swear on god...seen his live. I'm mad I ain't seen this

[@coreymacqueen4802]

Just accept his music as the gift from God that it is, enjoy it, and give thanks.

[@necksugar]

Pay it forward by sharing it. Shared Sorrow is Half of the Heavy Shared Joy is Double JOY. In the qubit info age , we are (imo) in a shadow lands . Just because it covers us all the time everywhere everyday over everything, the community of adults just do not REACT 💔⚠️👀👀👀🆘🤯🤠🕳️🙀☠️🤳 Sometimes I even want to go outside and YELL! "AM I ON CANDID CAMERA?"THIS is one of my favorite songs to express this feeling. But isn't it such an honor to witness the consequences of seeds of inverted ethics and MICRO compromise Morality through education espionage aimed at all ages. It's an HONOR have been for a tune such as this. Knowledge incredibly exponentially increases for WISDOM to decrease. This has been nepharius and $ U $ pect only So far historically in actual operation practice. It feels like every day I'm barely ALIVE the less people I used to know understand me. One Song can Shatter a Whole Gridlocker descended info arsenal Deployed against us PEOPLE.

[@thetallpaul55555]

The way that guy just exhales after the first chorus. Yeah. We all felt that too buddy.

[@untamedoutdoors1085]

Dope

[@carissacharlemagne6342]

Hell yeah. I had to breathe my damn self!!

[@Jimbo_Jumbo]

Lol I heard that too

[@brandonsommers8435]

Right? I rewound it after hearing what sounds like the person behind the camera's "shwew", chuckled, then looked for a comment where someone mentioned that, cause if no one else did, I was gonna! Lol! It seems Chris saved another soul in that moment because Stapleton is the Gospel!!

[@Centex254]

If this doesn’t send chills down your spine then you’re not human

[@LoriDawnLynn1981]

fr fact

[@SugarMilkbro]

If you listen to the end of the first verse there's a guy in the crowd who exhales hard like "shoooo" I point this out because I did too. Breathtaking runs man

[@flipping_for_funds]

chills at 1:15 and how he faded out of that run at 2:00 wow.

[@dustinsmith8786]

I'm human. I have chills.

which song or yall talking about want to make sure i get right one

[@davidlyons1654]

BARELY ALIVE: The acoustic version is special, not many people can pull this level of talent off without the help of studio equipment, a true artist is he!

[@3PercentNeanderhal]

Talent like his is rare.....almost once in a lifetime rare. I think you can safely place him amongst the greatest musician/vocalists of all time.

[@mikefields4136]

Once in a lifetime talent

[@JoshD0A]

Chris could turn a bottle of cough syrup around, read the ingredients and make it a smash hit. Nobody can do what he does! Not even close!

[@ambergilliam6472]

There are few that can pull this off even with studio equipment.

[@cameronallmon]

Amazing to note the difference between the beginning and the end. People went from side conversations, laughing and talking over him to pure pin drop silence. How many can do that?

[@jackmorris5307]

When you have a voice like that you can command an audience pay attention to you. His vocals grab you unlike any other person on earth. He is my vocal inspiration.

[@dwaynetempest3433]

First thing I thought too! Soul aching screams to the bones.

[@RaymondB1971]

I've put this video back on here because of the demand. Everyone enjoy!!!

[@logan3398]

Thanks for reuploading. If I may ask, why was it removed originally?

[@RaymondB1971]

Too many fake copyright claims.

[@logan3398]

I see, and I assume that's also the case with the acoustic version of "You Are my Sunshine," sung by Morgane Stapleton?

[@JonZager]

RaymondB1971 Thank you! I thought it was forever gone. I’d watched this a hundred times over the last few years. I’m blown away every time I hear it.

James Merone, Great comment 👍💯 Perfectly said 👌

[@chuckeelhart1746]

God? Really? I don’t think so. How about thousands of hours of practice and a lot of passion. Your imaginary friend was distinctly absent!

Still watching this video 2023. Sitting outside watching this just takes me somewhere else. The man can sing

Man...it was so noisy but it didn't take long before you could hear a pin drop. Silence in the presence of greatness. I envy you being there!

[@mikebeasley6447]

I think an acoustic only album would really blow everyone away! This version of Barely Alive would be a good start. CHRIS & MORGAN singing AMANDA like they did at THE GRAND OLE OPRY would have to be on my list as well. A guitar and their voices are all this pair needs to make beautiful music together. Any other must haves for an acoustic only album?

I'm barely alive after This! Brown girl's new favorite singer. Been binge watching for 3 days now. Watched the JT n his Tenn Whisk/Can't Drink You Away (CMA) like 50 times. Too many, "Oh, This one is my favorite(s)!"

[@Kim-rf5et]

I don't know what they thought they were gonna see, but it surely wasn't a man with this voice, playing ability just blessed from God. Be glad you saw him then was probably a lot cheaper then today better get out your money you want to see this amazing person and he's worth every dime!! Best singer I've seen in many years.

[@markskorich4602]

Everything is fallin' darker every day and every night Like I thought it would Everything I ever had was part of you and I Now there's nothing good If I survive If I survive I'll be barely alive Every time I take a drink of whiskey just to get me by I think of you Every night that I don't lay down by your side Girl, I think of you If I survive If I survive I'll be barely alive Tell me what it is you needed me to say Tell me what it is you needed me to do Tell me what it is you needed me to be Can't you see the pain I'm going through? I'm just barely alive Everything is fallin' darker every day and every night Like I thought it would Everything I ever had was part of you and I Now there's nothing good If I survive If I survive I'll be barely alive I'll be barely alive I'll be barely alive Girl, I'm barely alive

This song and this video specifically that introduced me to Chris few years ago. It was the first time i knew I could hold my breath for 4 min 25 sec. I was so sad when the video wasn't available on KZbin anymore. And I'm so happy to find it tonight. I still remember the first time i heard it, i was so amazed by how Chris pulled that note at 2:00. I've Felt his soul singing that part. Thank you Ray for bringing that one back. and please keep it.
