In my 30 years of thoroughly listening to music of nearly all genres, aside from metal you will not find such a spectacular demonstration of vocal range and mastery. Even in metal, where for a time it was common to sing softly and then scream, you can't find such intricate vocality and subtlety as Chris displays in this song. What a specimen of human ability!
He really makes you feel the emotion in the song. I've been listening to him for close to ten years and this is one of my favorite performances of his ever. Dig your shirt too bro.
This song is one of his best vocal and writing displays imo. He's amassing a huge library of great music VERY quickly. I haven't seen anything like it since Tom Petty. Which is one of his biggest influences in writing... Makes sense.
He's got a few of these 'open tuning' songs where his guitar is barely more than a walking cane on this adventure. This is a great example of that - a few notes here, seldom a full chord and - even then - the effect of the slide is more important than the sound of 6 strings. He's taking us places with his lyrics. "Oh, by the way, there IS a tune here or there to go along, but it's the story..." EITHER WAY is a great example of this. And to some extent, I'd look at FIRE AWAY with the same claim - I know there's a tune somewhere underneath the lyrics, but wow - I don't know it. Just the story. EITHER WAY is one of these.
I absolutely LOVE your reactions to Chris Stapleton..... his music knows no boundaries and can reach even the most callous person. And your understanding of not just the power with which he can evoke when he sings, but the understanding and willingness to hear the words is beyond impressive......Keep up the awesome work... and keep finding the ones that know what music is truly all about.......Chris Stapleton and Home Free.....2 of my absolute favorites......best wishes and many blessings to you good soul....keep the faint and keep the reactions coming!!
@@jamelakajamal The pleasure is all mine i am sure. I will continue to watch your reactions, because i see an honesty and understanding of what you hear that comes not just from the ears, but also from the heart. If i may be so bold, try Home Free Go Rest High on that Mountain. A cover of a Vince Gill song written for the passing of both Keith Whitley and Gill;s brother. absolutely beautiful. I swear the angels sing along
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was driving into work when it debuted on the radio. I was listening along with it thinking "man, this can really be a relatable song for so many aspects of relationships. " Then, the "you can go, or you can stay. I won't love you, either way" line hit, I was mentally taken agasp. I haven't heard a line that deep in a long time in a song. That lyric came out of left field... brutal, but accurate for so many!
Chris, it seems, does all his most powerful, soulful, emotionally heartwrenching songs live and alone with his guitar. 'Either way' 'What are you listening to' 'Sometimes I cry' 'Barely alive' and 'Cold' are examples of musical perfection. The voice beautifully telling the story while his guitar playing skilfully provides the perfect accompaniment. Wow!
Yeah, Lee Ann's version of this song is like Tim McGraw's version of Whiskey and You. Plain, boring, and heartless compared to Chris' version. Incomparable.
To me this is one of the best songs of all time as far as hitting home with truth in lyrics but also just amazing vocals- also I just love you! Such a handsome man!! I'm loving these videos
Man you are absolutely the very best of all the folks doing reaction video's. I have watch all of yours. Your the best Do The last thing i needed. Keep them coming.
Chris is THE best! Sings so calm and beautiful! Your comments about humble are spot on! He's from Lexington, Kentucky -- our Cincy neighbor to the south! His father was a coal miner Blessings friends!
This song hits so close to home. On the severe, unhappy, down slope of a 20+ year marriage, knowing my vows were until death, I would pray for either peace or death (either mine or his)...then he died.The guilt still consumes me.
The song describes the pain I dealt someone I cherish so much and either way she doesn't care if I stay or leave..nothing breaks u down more than hearing it in a song like this to really make u wish u could win her back
I have just recently found your channel through my following of Chris Stapleton, which has been a constant in my life for a long time. I wait for your response and it's like hearing him for the first time again through you. Very powerful. I hope you continue to listen and FEEL his talent.
I love this song! Look up the songs he's written for others! Amazing! Thank you! 💞✌ Beautiful heart wrenching lyrics. Pure raw talent. Love your shirt, you're a very handsome young man! I'm old so I appreciate beauty. 😁
Chris has a powerful gift in his songwriting ability and an even more powerful gift in his voice which can eviscerate you as he sings truth to those who have found themselves in that empty place between loving and already gone. Oh, and Jamel, where can I get one of those sweatshirts Man? Love it!
Chris Stapleton is beyond awesome. If you are blown away by him, I really REALLY think you should react to Foy Vance and his live version of MAKE IT RAIN. OH MY GOD…on a par with Chris❤️
Jamal, whiskey and you by Chris. I love his live performances.. you should react to: Drake White.. " Making me look good again... If you love Chris you will definitely love Drake White...😁😁
Yay! I requested this and you went and di it! nice one man, Chris is the best, no doubt. however you;ve done some Beth hart on your channel too and she is one incredible sanger. Check out "You Belong to Me" where she's singing it and playing an upright piano in a music shop. No effects on the vocals just raw untreated power and soul. Amazing!!!
Also check out jesse J's performances on the Singer 2018 show. Jesse is amazing. Particularly her version of Killing Me Softly. You gotta see it!!! Band are awesome too! Check out keyboard player during the breakdown. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful!
You should really check out this interview with Chris Stapleton, listen how humble he is and notice he never swears! And doesn't Dis anyone. He's as cool a person as you'll meet!!........" Joe Rogan Experience #1049 - Chris Stapleton "

Go listen to alter bridge. Miles kennady is insane
I don't say this lightly, I love your attitude and the way you come across. Need more like you. God bless.
Chris is a gift from above🙏
I never listened to anything by Chris Stapleton until just now. WOW!!! is all I can say.
Amazing talent.
He really makes you feel the emotion in the song. I've been listening to him for close to ten years and this is one of my favorite performances of his ever. Dig your shirt too bro.
THANK YOU🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ditto….love the shirt. Peace bro…✌🏽

John Douglas Racing Video yeah I listened to Joe Rogan podcast with him
@@jamelakajamal you should also check out john Moreland. Don't care about me enough to cry
I did t know that. Makes sense. Miss Tom so much
@@markmoscatello9461 Chris speaking about Tom... th-cam.com/video/A6rkk6A93Tw/w-d-xo.html
Love your reactions! The thought bubbles are gold! Best idea in reaction videos. Say something without talking over the song or stopping it. So smart.
This is my favorite Chris song. Voice is so powerful . Just amazed by him
Wow just wow.... An artist is good when it makes his audience feel his passion.... This Man
Just freaking wow!!!!!!!

Chuck S. L. C. Harden He’s Amazing!!
He leaves me speechless each time... non-other like him...
Love your teach peace shirt. If more people would listen to Chris and teach peace, Wow, what a world !
I love this song..this goes straight to my ♥ heart.. Thanku Chris.!!And Jamel for playing his songs..

My brother from another mother. I love your open minded approach to music. Bruh, you rock. Keep it real. PEACE!
He always takes you there with him! Phenomenal!
I really appreciate you did'nt cut the song! Thanks!
I love that you do not judge by the way someone looks but judge by the way they ARE!!!
The lyrics and the way he presents them with so much emotion, just makes me want to cry... I feel the pain and indifference.
He makes you have/feel the same emotion and power he does. Absolutly phenomenal

Yes DEEP!!
This song is a knife through the heart, in a beautiful way
Chris, it seems, does all his most powerful, soulful, emotionally heartwrenching songs live and alone with his guitar. 'Either way'
'What are you listening to'
'Sometimes I cry'
'Barely alive' and 'Cold' are examples of musical perfection.
The voice beautifully telling the story while his guitar playing skilfully provides the perfect accompaniment. Wow!
I feel u man. Chris is the best song writer period. This song hits hard.
Amazing!!
@@jamelakajamal have you heard if it hadn't been for love by the Steel drivers (with Chris Stapleton)?
Sadly how many of us live like this?
Going through this exactly after 40 years of marriage. I'm done. ☹️
I can’t stop listening to him sing this song!!!
Jamal, looks like you can't believe what your ears are hearing... My thoughts exactly! Enormous Goosebumps... 👌👌
SO GOOD🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Chills. This man is...well, there aren't any words to describe Chris Stapleton.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

kounadi.k. Diawara 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
His voice will pierce your soul!!
He wrote it but Lee Ann Wommack recorded it first. Check out her version. She is an amazing singer. Also check out "I Hope You Dance" by her ad well.
Michael Hargett 👍🏾
He wrote it with Tim James and Kendell Marvel. It wasn’t solo writing.
Yeah, Lee Ann's version of this song is like Tim McGraw's version of Whiskey and You. Plain, boring, and heartless compared to Chris' version. Incomparable.
To me this is one of the best songs of all time as far as hitting home with truth in lyrics but also just amazing vocals- also I just love you! Such a handsome man!! I'm loving these videos
And I STILL adore the hell outta you Jamal.........you're always part of the glory of the song... and I see ya got your hat !!

i wish i did not know exactly where in the heart a song like this comes from.
This song hits so close to home. On the severe, unhappy, down slope of a 20+ year marriage, knowing my vows were until death, I would pray for either peace or death (either mine or his)...then he died.The guilt still consumes me.
