Chris Stapleton - FIRE AWAY Reaction! This was my intro to Chris... (rereleased)

[@janflewelling6277]

In the song he's basically saying no matter how bad it gets, I'm still here for you. Coupled with the story in the video showing her mental illness - a musical gut punch. I cry every time.

[@vickybrackin7483]

Basically, he is saying whatever you shoot my way, I'm not going anywhere! Yes, Bi-Polar (manic- depressive). In the end his love could not save her!! ❤❤

[@DarleneHarris-s6h]

Yes, I cry every time I hear this song!!😭😢💖💕🙏

[@deborahrussell398]

She appeared to be suffering from manic depression. You can love somebody with every ounce of your being & soul & you can take everything they're pouring out, but no matter how much you love someone you can never love them enough to heal mental illness.

[@scrooge99001]

I see it as him telling her that he is never going to leave her, no matter what avenues her mental illness leads her down. His love for her will never fade! Life can "fire away" with whatever it has, he will always be there for her. Unfortunately in this story, she gives up on herself and ultimately on him by giving in to her mental state.. as a husband who will never run, and has a wife who suffers similarly with mental issues and who has had to struggle through PTSD as she was a first responder for many years.. this one always hits home! 😢💔

[@jessicalilley5239]

As an officers wife...this video hits diffrent. Sometimes our partners are so busy with strangers and the job of helping others, at times a spouse will feel lonely or last on the list. It's easy to understand in this occupation role, how depression and mental illness can happen. It's definitely not easy im sure for a spouse of any first responders. Definitely not for the weak and a support group is essential. ❤️

[@cindyv1401]

Your Husband and You are our HEROES ❣️ Tell your Husband to always be careful, be safe 💙🩵💙

[@Jen-in-Texas]

I am the wife of a retired police officer and you hit the nail on the head. We somehow come in last as a priority but we hold it all together for them. I completely get what you are saying - you put it into words perfectly. After he retired though, I finally became his focus and it’s been nice…

[@findmypulse]

I hear ya & relate. My husband retired after 21 years. We are often seen as irrelevant by others who compare us to our spouses. They go through a lot. We do too. A lot of emotional, physical, intellectual & spiritual energy goes to making sure they’re ok as well as our children. Sending love your way. ❤️‍🩹🪽💗

[@Mssteph239]

I cry everytime I watch this 😢

[@elaine8013]

Love can't take away mental illness and all you can do is stay and support and fight for them. Let life throw everything it wants but I'm not moving.My husband is starting to show signs of dementia and this song brings me to my knees every time.

[@Galactica2425]

Mental Illness can be so tough, but to be there to be a rock for the other person who is struggling and battling through it. this is a great song and its a gut punch every time I hear it. Enjoy your journey with Chris.

[@georgekininmonth2070]

Chris Stapleton is the bartender pouring the whiskey. fyi

[@dianaklien1560]

I was introduced to him with “Tennessee Whiskey” which is a story of love. My other song by him after this one is his version of “It’s a Man’s World” and his version of the “Star Spangled Banner” is so special it’d be a shame not to hear.

[@Bijou2013]

She sinks into mental illness from which he cannot save her. He's basically talking to pain "take your best shot" you can't hurt me more than I've been hurt. He can be strong enough for them both - even though he can't fix her, he's kind of almost praying for her problems to land on him so he could rescue her

[@cindyv1401]

OH MY..... THIS SONG Heart aches that don't have a home 💔 🥹 🙏

[@deborahlewis656]

My poor daughter is just like this😢it's hell on earth for her, and all of us for years trying to help her🙏😪

[@kingyeti6336]

Sooo many great songs. Joy of my life, outlaw women, parachute what are you listening to, just too many to name

[@luvmysuperduty]

G.O.A.T Just recently realized all these song that moved me to my core were from the same person! When I did I realized that we are experiencing the emergents of a legend! Just purchased ALL I His albums on vinyl!! 😎

[@creinicke1000]

He's saying "fire away" .. that no matter what you hit me with, go ahead.. i can take it.. You're worth the pain because I love you. One of my fav songs is "DEATHROW".. official audio only..

[@Countryreactions]

Mental health is real

[@chrismeyer7890]

He's saying, throw your problems at me, I am here to handle it. If it helps you to dump your problems on me, do it. I am not going anywhere. That's how I see it, anyway

[@glennvanzandt3011]

You are so right. This is a video where if you're not careful, you forget just how amazing his vocals are. Plus, I think your analysis of the song is spot on.

[@freebird-dana8829]

I really think you'd like It Takes A Woman. Chris is an amazing and talented man! And I love that his wife is his back up singer.

[@DavidD-u2z]

I second this request

[@shanegooding4839]

Chris is awesome.

[@catherinedudley-fr3re]

He is one of the best songwriters out there, his storytelling is unmatched. I recommend almost anything from his catalog, but I really love the video for the song Starting Over, the song what are you listening to, he does a great live version of it. Any of his life performances are gonna be great, if you haven’t already, Tennessee whiskey live at Austin city limits, and I was wrong live at Austin city limits.

[@karessalongmire1783]

Yes please! Love "starting over"❤

[@danamoss7000]

I’m from TN, and they called it 3 chords and the Truth ❤

[@JennyLeigh5309]

This song came out one year after I lost my brother just like this. My amazing sister-in-love was his rock. She took so much. She was with him from 14 years old until they were 29. TBI is hell.

[@BeccaM24]

I've never had a significant other with mental illness, but my Mother had schizophrenia and had episodes similar to this video. She tried to self end multiple times, in multiple ways so this video hits hard and triggers the pain, helplessness and disorientation you feel as being the person who cared about that person.

[@Jeffbambam]

Much respect and love for those going through things they can’t explain. This one hits to close to home .❤

[@suevick637]

You say it all with, "Sheesh" ! ❤ I had not heard this one yet, even more so, I hadn't SEEN this. ❤ Thank you for sharing P. ❤

[@ronaldgines171]

This hits so hard ... I get a lump in my throat every time...

[@TR1BE2]

Chris is a beast. I would check out "Starting Over". Also I thinking check out the National Anthem for the Super Bowl. I believe people outside of country music fans were introduce to him.

[@gerneticut]

His voice in Tennessee whiskey is angelic

[@jasonfeagans3291]

Cold live at the cma in 2021 is a must

[@annepinkerton6280]

Depression can run in families. Apparently she had SO much depression, she couldn't overcome it. He was just telling her to give it her best shot and fire away at him if it makes her feel better! We pretty much agree! Thanks!

[@tammyjackson3113]

Bipolar is a scary world to live in.

[@DarleneHarris-s6h]

My daughter has bipolar!! She’s in medication!! God bless!!💖💕🙏

[@cedarcreeper1859]

Truth isn’t always pretty, sometimes we need to be reminded to enjoy the good to help balance out the bad!

[@aura81295]

Yep and sometimes we actually need bad to recognize and appreciate the good as well. I am often amazed at how many people don't really seem to grasp how privileged they are or seem incapable of seeing the beauty that is all around them. This video did a good job of depicting both.

[@theycallmemoosey2858]

Let me start by saying I am not a country fan at all.... there are very few songs that move me in some way, but Chris Stapletons live performance of Cold is one that you definitely need to see

[@justmejoy124]

Straight to the heart recommend 👍

[@pennyypya3715]

Omg first time I've heard and seen this song and video...how sad😢

[@latrishabledsoe7766]

My favorite Chris Stapleton song

[@patrickohara7727]

For a lighter sided amazing vocals, Traveler, and or Tennessee Whiskey.

[@christinawilliams]

I'm surprised you haven't seen or heard "Tennessee Whiskey" before by Chris Stapleton. That one is a given to react to.

[@christinamadvig1468]

I do like your new intro.and I just wrote you about this yesterday. Repeat viewer. Looking forward to other reactions and bringing in a friend is a nice touch 👍🙂

[@julianwaters7192]

Fire reaction guys 🔥

[@denisemartin3798]

It does bring life to mental illness. It's sad but happens every day. I think he just wanted to make awareness to the fact. Yeah, it's very heavy.

[@teriwilkinson7816]

Love him.

[@LetItBeSummer-1]

The song gets me every time. I don’t watch it too often because of that. Seeing it thru your eyes was very cool especially when the revelations came. My heart started beating a lot faster as story unfolded, & as you were putting two and two together. (this is country blues. Many types of country. Myself I don’t like straight country, usually) She was bipolar. Her husband, the cop, loved her so much and stuck by her, no matter what which is more than we can say for many people in the same situation specifically with bipolar disorder.

[@vickithomas7976]

Gotta do “Think I’m In Love with You “ by Chris Stapleton.

[@pjenn1]

Try listening to his song Death Row, broken halo, last thing i needed first thing this morning, either way, drunkards prayer, daddy doesnt pray anymore, sometimes i cry. Chris has a crap ton of music these are the ones so far that i love.

[@buckbaumann773]

Im telling you. We sre One. This IS the message of music.

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

The husband is Ben Foster, known for X-Men: The Last Stand.. but I just discovered the wife, Margarita Levieva, in a show called In From the Cold, and it's awesome.

[@edwardreidt1230]

This is deep . Showing how mental health can destroy a family cand the person who has it

[@pamjarrett-s9s]

Have you heard the song Chris Stapleton wrote about the shooting in Vegas in 2017. Great song to react to, called Watch you burn. But a happy great blues song from him is I Was Wrong.

[@tinawhite8835]

Chris Stapleton had never done a video and was kinda told he really needed one. He said, fine, this is what I want to do. He personally picked the actors for this video and wanted it to address mental health/illness issues, and I believe the video has help numbers at the end. It was something he felt very strongly about. When he told them what he wanted to do, well of course they were not sold, but he insisted and it's great. So sad, incredibly sad, but it really makes an impression. You need to hear him sing Tennessee Whiskey, the Austin City Limits take. OMG.......

[@patrickohara7727]

You need to check out the “Steel Drivers” it his band with his wife their duets are fire.

[@julie-annepoole6859]

Morgane wasn’t in the Steeldrivers the fiddle player Tammy Rodgers is who you’re thinking of. But Chris does have lots of amazing songs with HER, Pink and of course Morgane.

[@laurenblainebamartistmgt]

Oh, BP. I didn’t know about your still birth babies. 💖💕🥰

[@tommyt5785]

Man I love this song and never saw the video until now… got me fucked up!

[@davidwood7738]

Millionaire is a good love life and wife song

[@chadwheeler8189]

You really need to listen to "Sometimes I Cry". It's probably the best showcase of his vocal prowess (In my most humble opinion, of course).

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

Chris Stapleton has so many great songs. But yeah try some more upbeat stuff, his performance of I Was Wrong at Austin City Limits is absolutely amazing.

[@helanahardy580]

The cornfield scene is rarely understood, but I see her barefeet on the ground as her literally going through a "rough patch" and shes walking "towards the light" as if she wants to leave the world, but he tries to comfort her and take her home to save her and keep her on earth

[@keneppink7272]

Chris Young. The man I want to be.

[@757optim]

I'm pretty sure that if you let the video run to the end there is a list of mental health organizations.

[@Jen-in-Texas]

This song is beautiful but yes when I first saw the video I was really surprised. Please react to his song “Joy of my Life” by him. It’s very positive and just a feel good song. I had no idea about your situation - how heartbreaking, I am so sorry. You and your wife are incredibly strong.

[@jamesgoogle1744]

you need do more Chris Stapleton he is one of the best singer of our generation is voice he is really up there with Josh Turner, Randy Travis and Allan Jackson he also has such a presence in person I heard him live and he honestly sounds better than his studio recorded version

[@cindyphifer970]

He didn't really want to do a video with this song but insisted it be dedicated to mental illness. Love Chris

[@cindyknudson2715]

He doesn't DO music videos. He agreed to because it could educate too.

[@AustinKimberlingPGM]

Hits hard

[@pamelaparrish1100]

Must see Chris Stapleton Justin Timberlake CMA awards Tennessee Whiskey/ Drink you away

[@konradkanuckle5920]

Ok people,....he's gotta do " sloopy hang on " .... Just to see his jaw drop !!!

[@patrickjacob9950]

Always loved this song. Sorry i watched the video tho 😢

[@tonyaristide2582]

Well how else could i ruin my day 😢

[@southernrebel3303]

@BlackPegasus Chris wrote this song to bring awareness to Mental Illness. I think he succeeded… (Chris is bartender in video) Please react to the live performance Chris did with his wife Morgane who always sings harmonies w/him). It’s a performance for 1 of the award shows, I think CMA or ACM’s during Chinavirus so it’s filmed in Chris’s house. A great live performance! Thanks fren!

[@heartwork8318]

Check out “Cold” live at CMA awards. ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@Josh-nj1gw]

The youg guys interpretation was great,I never thought about fire away meaning what else you got life? What else you gonna throw at me??

[@lindaallen9409]

No one is going to tell him about Tennessee Whiskey?!

[@BlairandGeorgie]

I’m so sorry Peg.

[@callmedixe1334]

the irony of this video is that hes a police officer saving his own town and yet he couldn't save his own relationship

[@mattmcdonald6267]

LOL, you reacted to this and Chris Stapleton a year ago.

[@warrenburlingame1172]

This song is basically how my marriage went until I lost my wife

[@jakesbel8237]

This Hat by Chris Deluce (?) talk about a great song.

[@donnamiley6778]

Death Row! Midnight Train to Memphis. Give those a listen, too. Chris Stapleton is really good. I think you've listened to some of my other favorites. But someday you MUST listen his cover of Metallica.

[@holliday0191]

That was Chris Stapelton as the bartender.

[@bekahms]

Mental health disease is very sad. I took this as a depiction of how this affects the people that love them and stand by them no matter what.

[@MichaelChabut]

The "Fire Away" is him saying he will take anything she throws at him because he loves her that much. She is mentally ill, and he refuses to walk away from her.

[@mamabear5904]

You've been listening to some cool old timers...need to listen to Jim Nabors(Gomer pyle) singing the impossible dream.

[@jennywayman4461]

I see it as, she has mental illness but he married her for better or for worse and loves her and knows that she has mental heath issues and will be there for her. He is going to try to do what he can with what he can and understands. It is extremely hard to understand and know what and how to help and sometimes you can only do what you can do.

[@unity1016]

This song always me think of Death Row by Chris.

[@MrCraigmon]

I dated a by polor girl, it was exhausting. But I loved her

[@73mooch]

This hits hard, should check out 'Death Row' it's my favourite song of Chris's, very bluesy

[@RogerMcCauley-s1e]

I'm not a big Stapleton fan; but this is pretty good

[@marcieharreld286]

Depression is such a devastating thing for everyone affected!! Be kind!! 🫶🫶🫶 By the way, Chris is the bartender in this video. If this was your first experience with Chris Stapleton you need to react to "Tennessee Whiskey" live in Austin and "Cold" live at the CMA's!!! You'll thank me later!!❤❤❤❤

[@Horsequeen59]

Check out Scarecrow in the garden by Chris Stapleton 8:57

[@dionlarsen10]

🤟🏼🔉🔊❤️

[@andrewoler5709]

Love your content! You gotta listen to Tim McGraw don't take the girl!

[@mikecreger9702]

Gotta listen to "Broken Halos"

[@davidwood7738]

Anything Austin City Limits Live

[@KL-nm6nl]

There is a video Chris made explaining this song and video!

[@dianaklien1560]

You didn’t show the end, it lists places to go if you are battling depression (if I am remembering correctly). Maybe make an extended version showing it?

[@latrishabledsoe7766]

He tried so hard to save het😢

[@Marlene-t9r8q]

The bartender is Crris Stapleton

[@bryanaldridge1936]

I know you have been having a good time with all the older country music but I noticed you have yet to check out the best country band of all time. You really need to give Alabama a listen and start with Feels so right.

[@nwallis80]

The flashback pieces of the video remind me of Jenny from Forest Gump. Based on that, I assume the woman was a victim of sexual assault. That gives a new perspective to this song that I’ve never understood before! 😢

[@margaretsimmons1598]

Have you checked out his song “Cold”? If you haven’t react to the one at I think was a live performance at the ACMs
