CHRIS STAPLETON “FIRE AWAY” | REACTION (EMOTIONAL)

[@jaredcrotty251]

Takes a real man to show his emotion to thousands. Potentially millions. Good on you. Respect.

[@jamelakajamal]

🙏🏾

[@TnL-nt2kd]

GOD BLESS YOU

[@phyllisb4634]

I seldom watch when this is reacted to. To me, this is an example of a real man, his love and his strength. I hate that mental illness is so stigmatized, and the loved ones aren't well supported. They often don't understand what they are dealing with. Chris conveys the emotion, beautifully. BTW, real men show their emotions. Congrats on 15 years.

[@jamelakajamal]

Thank You🙏🏾

[@deeair2942]

Well said Phyllis.

[@sharkbeatz313]

Very well said...Its true that its taboo still to these days for guys to show emotion but its needed. Real men cry and real men have feelings and emotions. Be tough when needed but even the strongest need to be told they are loved.

[@phyllisb4634]

@@sharkbeatz313 Thanks. I should have clarified that i don't always watch reactions to this because it's sad and hits close to home. It really makes me respect Chris even more for dealing with this in his music.

[@mumv2089]

When Chris spoke of this video, he stated it was his vision. Picked out the actor specificity and proceeds go towards mental health awareness and treatment. Thank you Chris.

[@bdphotographyvideo7423]

Jamel, thank you for this reaction. I must admit that country music is not my particular taste. But anything that Chris Stapleton releases I will listen to. I'm a 51 year old retired FF / Paramedic and I have seen this scene play out more than I care to remember. So this video brings out a lot of emotions and I tear up everytime I watch it. We are all connected through a common thread of our fellow human beings no matter our background. Empathy is a resource we should all strive to attain. And you showed how much it effected you. Thank you once again for the reaction (as hard as it is to watch). Be well my friend!

[@sharonw.9091]

I admire Chris Stapleton so much for using his music as a platform to shine a light on mental illness. There is a video about Chris, the director and the actor discussing the ideas behind this video. The label had been pressuring Chris to make a music video and he wanted it to have a purpose. He succeeded.

[@jamelakajamal]

🙏🏾

[@valariewright8516]

Absolutely

[@katie6044]

Bipolar. This is what loving someone with bipolar is like. My ex husband became an addict to deal with it and our daughter, who is now 17, also has it. It's the most heartbreaking thing in the world.

[@kristen1441]

Same here. It’s disappointing that other people can’t see what it it, but it goes to show how little the public is aware of mental health.

[@steelergirl9197]

@Katie Tooker Yes. The awful swings from up to down and back again. Can leave tragedy in their wake. Blessed to have an understanding husband and very supportive parents. Many is the time that I have questioned why but slowly have the acceptance that God has a plan for everyone. And He does not give you more than you can handle.

[@CDO1113]

This is the only video he’s ever made...it was his concept. You were right when you said bipolar. Incredibly sad.

[@jamelakajamal]

😔😢

[@johnmyers7570]

Been there with my wife. When it's good, it's great. When it's not, then it's not. It's a roller coaster. Much props to those who power through it. Great reaction, and I appreciate the sincerity.

[@sandraray8523]

Thank you for an honest reaction to this song. Illness is illness, rather it’s physical or mental. For 50 years I’ve been actively working to raise awareness of mental illness. You are right, the video is about unconditional love.

[@woofolliesmydog8628]

Imagine someone loving you no matter what. No matter what! NO MATTER WHAT! The pain they suffer as you suffer.

[@lisaluvsmusic2603]

Best reaction video I've seen. No interruption of the song and put thoughts up instead then followed the video with your thoughts. Fantastic job!

[@jamelakajamal]

Thank you🙏🏾

[@berlyn3014]

Thanks for this reaction. This is my favorite Chris Stapleton video for several reasons. It gets me every time. It's one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen and brings awareness to a problem that many people don't talk about.

[@jamelakajamal]

YES SO SAD BUT MUCH NEEDED🙏🏾

Your honest with your emotions and it shows. Thats being real and its refreshing. Your great to watch sir.

[@judyneale2996]

So sad. You are one heck of a person and I love you more everyday. Thank you so much, Chris Stapleton is wonderful and tells a story like nobody else. It breaks your heart. Mental illness is so misunderstood. I work in an office for neurologists and I have learned more in the past year than I ever did in my 73 years on earth.

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

One of the best reactions I've ever seen and thank you for your Brilliant observation! Mental illness is absolutely horrible and you nailed the topic about the song and his undying love for his wife! Great job!

Chris Stapleton “Either Way” just about killed me lol

[@leslie8888]

Every time I sob! Great video but hits you in the gut! God bless you! You seem like a wonderful man in a marriage of 15 yrs when so many men that won't commit. You have great insight and empathy. What you said about taking your vows seriously, Mental illness effects millions, and admire your convictions. As a nurse, their hopelessness that they can feel, makes me pray for medical breakthroughs for improved medications.

[@sandraray8523]

Real men cry. You have my respect for being you.

[@YankeeRedneck437]

Yes sir if that one doesn't punch you in the gut, in my opinion you have no soul. I'm liking your reactions to chris stapleton more each time I see a new one. They remind me of myself when I first discovered him. I have a feeling you're going to be checking out a whole lot more videos from him just like I did. At this point I can hardly ever find one that I haven't seen already. Your reactions are pure and honest, you just give it as you feel it. You seem like a good dude. Keep 'em coming. 👍🎶🎼

I have been married for 18 yrs and the first 7 yrs of that was dealing my wifes depression and anxiety issues....which in tern game me clinical depression as I Had no-one to talk to about my own issues because I had to be the strong one for my wife. Thankfully we found a doctor where we live who took control and prescribed medication and set up psychologist appointments for my wife...who is much much better now. I too was able to find a support network and work on my own demons who to be honest almost took my life as I was in as darker place as you could find....but I am doing ok, one at a time but this time I have people to call on if I feel im slipping.......great reaction video, and I am now subbed to your channel.

Thank you Jamal, I needed to see this 2 years after you reacted. I have NEVER seen or heard this song. I will do what I can to beat this now. It will be a hard debt road to travel but we will somehow make it through. I will. THANK YOU!

Towards the end..... Every cop's worst nightmare.... Coming home to find their loved ones being loaded into an ambulance or possibly even dead 💀💀💀 I know it's just a music video, but this shows WHY I have so much respect for cops & emergency service workers around the world. What started as a real love story very quickly took a graphic turn for the worst 😱😱😱 Amazing....

[@jamelakajamal]

HIT ME RIGHT IN THE CHEST!!

[@ajramirez9769]

I think he heard the call and responded to it

[@TheRiclaw89]

1 guy I work with on my fire department had to respond to his own wife she died in arms and 2 others had to respond to their own sons and so have I but my son lived theirs did not

[@gerardroll6468]

TheRiclaw89 ..... That's PRECISELY why I have the highest levels of respect & admiration for "1st responders", no matter which branch of the service they're in. The same goes for families with members serving in the military. Anyone willing to put their life on the line in their jobs to serve "community or country" DESERVES the highest respect ✊😁👍 It's the "uncertainty" of not knowing if the next job you go to may involve a family member or someone you're exceptionally close who is either close to death or actually dead is what would affect me the most 😰😰😰

[@gerardroll6468]

Aj Ramirez ..... What's that saying...... "it's part of the job"??? I'd hate to be one of the 1st responders heading to a "job" where you don't have all the details & when you get there, you find out it's your "beloved other half" or even kids who are either being treated for serious injuries, loaded into an ambulance or you find them "under a sheet". That would DESTROY me, physically & emotionally 😰😰😰

[@timryan1661]

[@Stormymystic]

As someone who suffers from a mental disorder like this one portrayed here, it is hard. I tend to avoid reactions to this song, because this one hits home. You speak the truth when you say let it out, and support each other always. Mental illness affects a huge number of people in this world, and often times it goes untreated. Either money, fear, or other factors play a role in it. Even in today's time, mental illness is viewed as something to not talk about. Thank you for sticking through this song.

* Hands Jamala stack of tissues* we are going to need them. I glad this video sheds light on Depression and what it does not only to the person fighting it, but to the family standing in their corner and helping them fight. Every now and then you just stop fighting and you end up with the end of this video. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar manic depression with an anxiety disorder, and honestly if it wasn't for the man l beside me, would have been lost many times, he has been my rock for the past 20yrs and I know he'll continue to be my rock

"for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health" this is a sacred vow...a promise you make with god. That is the test and the testament. Today when so many marriages end in divorce I wonder if anyone takes that to heart...it is not to be entered into lightly. If you truly love someone, you will bear any burden, endure any hardship, sacrifice all that you have, all for the sake of that person even if that person cannot or will not respond in kind. I believe that is what he means by 'Fire away' ...Deep stuff.....

[@holmike9]

I lived that life with my wife of 28 years. She was diagnosed with severe mental illness, Bipolar and some others. 1st time I have brought this up. I'ts a tough life to live because people don't really understand or care to understand mental illness. The stress it brings on family members. I was left alone to raise our 4 kids while she was either out partying or sleeping around or in a institution seeking help. The financial stress because medical insurance coverage is not that good for mental illness. There are many different types of mental illness diagnosis and it takes time to get proper treatment and prescriptions. And then the person has to take the meds regularly. But because of the mood swings, when they start feeling better they stop taking the meds. and things get worse.
