This is why Chris came up with and brought this story to the music video for this song. To not only bring awareness/shine a light on mental health/illness, but also put a spotlight on the loved ones who stick by their friends and family when they're struggling mentally. Hence the meaning of the song, like "fire away with whatever you have. It won't dissuade or push me away from loving you."
Also, it means "fire your shots at me. I can take it. Try and hurt me and not yourself"
Yeah I fight with depression every day and my mom is all I have now that my daddy is gone and it's really hard and I love this song because it reminds me I still have my momma and she wouldn't make it if I did something else to hurt myself
I love this. We have mental illness in our family. It’s so hard for them.
And to those people, we thank you.
Absolutely sarge
The only thing worse than suffering from depression and mental illnesses (suicidal thoughts) is watching someone you LOVE suffer through it...you are there with them.
The only thing equal to maybe, but not worse. Being that person, is horrible, as is loving that person. But I think the person living it is in more hell than those loving them who have a detachment to the actual feeling cos they don't have those feelings.
Great reaction buddy.
I’ve actually dealt with this to the point where, it has become tragically the norm. Wasn’t till re-watching this video, you realize how much energy, love, emotion… Everything That you put into caring about someone in this kind of situation. Which one is worse? For both parties, it seems like it’s so apparent that there is no great answer, but for the caring one, it is close to impossible to figure out the right thing to do to make things better. I hate that anybody has to deal with this.
You're the 1st Reactor to pick up on the clue on his shirt. That he also was doing this video from memory ... excellent job
If this song doesn't make you cry, you ain't human. You've gotta be from another planet.
I’m an 80 year old woman and I have so much respect and love for Greg…….He is a
wonderful, kind young man! God bless
Your heart was shining bright in this reaction Greg. You could see the compassion for people dealing with being bipolar and then your whole face changed when your mind made you think about your own wife and then you could see clearly the love you have for your own wife and how having to deal with that would affect you. You are a special soul Greg. So much love and respect to you on this one! May God bless you and your family!
🙏♥️
Amen 🙏🙌
Thank you for showing this. Chris hit the ball out of the park. I'm bi-polar and have been there. My spouse is my rock!! You can explain how that feels when you don't understand yourself. Thanks Chris.
God bless you for your reaction. Try to spread the word as much as possible. I feel your sincerity.
Two family members lived thru this. But it 30 years to find right meds
This song hits me so hard! I'm her. I've been there more times than I want to admit! Luck for me I ran into an old friend from school. I was back in town for my great grandmother's funeral and my 15 year high school reunion, my mom talked me in to going and me and my old friend spent the whole night talking. He went his way and I went back home. Went through some more crap and lost my mom. I was way far gone in a dark dark place and 2 months after losing my mom he called...12 years later with my husband and finally getting meds right, I luckily haven't gone to that dark side. Years ago I would have never been able to say that I'm bipolar manic depressive with suicidal tendency, now I'm just bipolar with manic episodes and no thoughts of suicide! Meds work, but having someone in your corner and being that support system makes it so much easier! Thank you for reacting to this song, it is a hard subject to tackle!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm glad you are doing better. Videos like this and comments like yours really help shine a light on depression and/or mental disorders. Things like this are so taboo still and many people just keep it all in because they are afraid of what other might, do, say, or think. Keep fighting, keep being strong.
@@Ming3484 you are definitely right about mental health being looked down upon and treated like someone is faking every thing. There is a company that makes memorial plaques for fallen soldiers. They also make metal bracelets with a soldiers name and all on it, and t-shirts. I have a t-shirt that says mental health awareness on the front and break the stigma on the back. I love the company, they do a lot for vets and mental health, ptsd, and the plaques for the families. The company it Till Valhalla. But thank you so much for your sweet reply!
I'm so happy for you!
I'm still working on getting the meds right, and my hubby is there through everything! Thank you for sharing your story and I pray for continued growth and improvement!
@@dellakimbertk444 Thank you! You'll get there. But the most important part to getting there is your support system, I'm glad your husband is there for you, but also have another person. It is hard on them too. It took my husband a long time to understand that my swings could be caused by something or nothing. I'm surprised that he put up with my crazy!! But it was very trying for him, because I didn't have anyone else. Like I said though my meds are working and my lows for the most part are gone or not as intense. I still have a good bit of manic episodes, my husband says he never knows what furniture will be moved where. I already clean like crazy and I'm OCD and my manic episodes make my OCD worse...daily...daily battle!!! Honey if you need to talk any time just message me on Facebook. Its Micki Rainey and I think my profile picture is me with Santa Claus. But I'll give you my number then. If you need to talk, just sit there not talking just knowing someone is there, hell even if it is having someone to help hide the body...I got you🤣🤣 Just a joke for everyone who reads this wrong!!! But good luck to you and you got this!! Prays for you too!!
Greg, this is the first reaction video of yours I have watched but you can bet it will not be my last. The fact that you felt the meaning of this song so deeply (as I do) let's me know your a empathetic person which , at times, seems rare these days. Mental illness is often devastating to the person who bares the burden and the people who love them. Thank you. Blessings, peace and love. 💚
Heartaches that don't have home.
I break inside every time I listen to those words.
100% breaks everyone. Thanks for this one Chris is great!
I'm so touched by the way you reacted it shows you have compassion and empathy.
She wasn't drinking, she was bi-polar, going from being happy go lucky to dark depression in the blink of an eye. There are a lot of videos of Chris performing but he doesn't do "music videos". His label kept pushing him to do one till he finally agreed but only under some conditions, one that he does not appear singing or performing, {he is in it as the bartender}, that he writes the song, and that he has say in picking the actors and in the direction of the video. The result is Fire Away. He wanted to focus attention on people with mental health issues and their loved ones who stick with them and try to make it better.
My husband is suffering from depression and anxiety. I have had to check him into the hospital twice, I can't leave him by himself, and I've gotten rid of our guns. He feels like he is getting better. We're in this marriage for better or worse, and in sickness and health. I won't ever walk away. There are days that I get resentful, but then I pray, and realize that he doesn't want to be this way. If he could wish it away he would be his old self. 😢
My bff is bipolar- and it took a major crisis at 26 to realize she needed serious help to get the swings under control...
5 years later she got pregnant for the first time and had to go off meds- it was harrowing, then she did it again exactly 2 years later. Amazing she got through it all, but her kids anchored her enough to hold on.
Now, decades later, just missing ONE pill in the morning and by lunchtime whatever chemical imbalance was fighting to take control at that moment surges out and seizes her mind and emotions... be it hyper up or suicidal down. I have abandoned work or family to rush to her house and grab her meds to bring her the missed pill(s) even, because waiting might be catastrophic like this video...
Nature is cruel, and sometimes humans are built broken in hidden ways. Modern life just allows them to live much longer than in the past and mask the problems better 😐 so you may well know someone suffering but on meds to keep it in check.
Chris Stapleton has a way of pulling us into his story and most can relate on a very personal level. He is one of my all time favorite artists today. I've never heard him sing a bad song. I love him so much.
I used to deal with this with my daughter. She is bi-polar and swings from manic to deep depression sometimes all in one day. She tried to hang herself when she was 14. I still cant leave the house without thinking I will come home and see her hanging from our bannister on the 2nd level of the house. I wouldn't leave her alone for years. She will turn 21 this October and thank God, she found a good psychiatrist and an even better therapist and with the right medications, she is such a different person today. No more cutting, no more suicide attempts, just a beautiful young woman who can appreciate life now. Songs like this just hit home for anyone who has ever had to live this. Great reaction, new subscriber too!
That gets me everytime. When he's stitting at the bar holding her ring. Hits deep in the chest cavity.
The true heart of this video is the message stands front and center and the music becomes secondary. That is powerful.
Nothing better than real raw emotions.
This one always make me cry. Thx for beautiful reaction. 💕
This song is written for people like myself who suffer from a mental illness. My husband has stuck by me and my Bipolar for 23 years. It takes a special strong person to do this. Your words are words of wisdom, thank you.
I have bipolar disorder and this is me and my husband!! He saves me from myself over and over again. I put him through so much. I will be so numb and empty, just like her just walking and he can pull me back to myself. He is my Lifeline. And the strength be has to put up with me is amazing!!
Love Chris Stapleton what a singer musican writer He sings from his soul. He can take you to church. Mark my words that man will go down as a ledgend of our time. Thanks for your reaction.Keep up your great work. Welcome to the Chris Stapleton fan club!!
Greg, my name is Glenn and I'm 76 years old. If you look at the video, the start is the end after losing his wife, who was clinically depressed. The blood on his shirt was from her as he held her in the hospital as she died.
This is what my husband has survived me doing for the first 30 years of our marriage. I love him a lot, so no matter how deep the depression gets, and it’s the depths of hell, I stay. You stay too
Man great reaction! I think ive ony seen one other person notice the blood in the beginning. It makes the story hit so much harder when people notice the small details.
I love that this opened your eyes. You will be the strength that someone needs. God bless you.
This song is so true to me. I live like this everyday. I just want the pain to go away.Pleaseeeeeeeeee
This Real Shit. I got that call more than once. I'm glad he wrote this song to bring awareness.
You have a beautiful soul my guy!
1st reactor to catch the blood stain on the collar👍🏻👍🏻
Chris was the bartender checking on and serving the policeman.
I was impressed how quickly you figured out what the song/story was. Not knowing what people are recommending and then maintaining your composure and pulling your thoughts together was impressive.
Yes Baby, they both are!!!
This is why it is so important to check on your people. I mean like REALLY check in on yoyr people. Sometimes people suffer in silence and wont tell you something is wrong so you gotta watch for clues. The ones who are ALWAYS happy, are the ones who are most likely suffering the most. If you're hurting, reach out to someone...anyone. There are people who love you and who are willing to help. Hell, send me a message. I'll do whatever I can to help anyone. If nothing else, just know that you are loved and you are important. ❤
Not sure if you noticed, but Chris is the bartender. This song pulls at my heartstrings every time.
Bro I love your reactions to these songs/videos. You actually get the lyrics and what’s going on. That’s rare a lot of the time. I dig it
100% the BEST reaction to this video I've seen and understood the video. You brought me to tears ❤
I’ve just binge watched all of your Chris Stapleton reactions love them. This one gets me every time I had to go through this lost my father to suicide thats a phone call you never want to receive, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
This one hits hard. He’s a fantastic singer check him and Justin Timberlake. Watch him live it’s incredible. It’s based on a true story about a friend of his I believe.
I've been in this position. My husband took his own life 25 years ago. He attempted several times before he did it.. I really am glad you can't put yourself in it. I still am slowly just remembering the events of the night. My brain checked out. A reminder to always check on your people. 🙏
So 😥 im sorry for your loss
@@barbaramelville6940 thank you 🙏
I've never gotten to the point of just giving up but I have been through times where I just feel that, once I get out of one hole I quickly fall into another. I'm lucky I have friends and family that are always there for me.
To anyone going thru a difficult time, know that you are loved, know that you are not alone, and know that even though things look bad at the moment, that will all pass. Don't be afraid to speak up. Who ever you talk to may get sad when you talk to them but they will be 100 times more sad if you pass away.
You also need to watch Chris Stapleton live at the 2021 CMA awards singing Cold. You will feel that one in your soul too.
First time seeing your reacts, it was interesting watching you journey through this emotional video and then finally understanding what was happening. Mental illness is just not talked about enough and it isn't treated well enough. Thank you for doing this one.
Antone who can watch this video and not shed a tear just isn't human. PEACE!!!!!
I was at the concert last night in Wheatland, CA and he let the entire crowd sing the FIRE AWAY part...Priceless...My throat is still sore.
you have a big heart and God Bless you
Thank you for sharing and going through the raw emotions with us.
This is what Bipolar is. The highest highs and the lowest lows. It's so hard to watch someone go through this. Just heartbreaking.
Your heart does us proud. You are an empath. You 'get it.'
Unconditional love and depression.. what a meaningful song! As much as he try to deal with her pain he still couldn't save her.. he was trying to take her pain away and the meaning is take your best shot I m not leaving! Fire away I'm still coming back for more.. but still couldn't help her from her mental depression
this song gets me every single time! mental health /illness is a serious thing. As mentioned by others. talk to your friends and family and be there for them ! one call, one conversation, one hug could be a difference maker in ones life. great reaction Greg! you get it!
O yeah. This one breaks everyone
That's the story of my life..my dad was a police officer, my mom took her life when I was 29...he never loved another, an died of cancer 10 years ago..hardest day of my life..hugs to all who have to deal with the pts of the events of suicide in their own lives...you are not alone.
So sorry for your terrible losses, Lee Ann.
Sorry for your loss. My grandmother killed herself. It's something you never really get over.
@@joematherly8966 no you don't ..I'm sorry for your loss Joe..please take care.. 🤗
@@Chris-kj7de thank you Chris..it's something you never forget that's for certain.. hugs to you an yours.
Welcome to country music. It explores ALL of life. Love found, love lost, the highs and lows that our paths lead us through, everything. This is one of the most heartbreaking songs and videos I've ever seen. But that's country music. You go to a concert and find yourself laughing, shouting to the band, then crying and total silence reigns. Chris can take you there, just like the old school singers like George Jones and Charlie Pride (perhaps the most famous black country singer way back when they were not common). True heart and soul poured into their music.
Love your channel. I lost my wife in March 2024. You seem sincere in your reactions. Keep up the great work.
You’re the only person I’ve seen notice something off on his collar.
Love your sweet heart to be so moved
You are sweet to feel as you do about this song, and subject.
You are so astute! You picked up on all the little details and clues so you had an idea of what was to come. You have a new subscriber.
Chris Stapleton is a eastern Kentucky boy. He's from Johnson County. That's Loretta Lynn country. Great singers have came from the mountains of eastern Kentucky.
and he tried so hard to care for her this broke my heart I feel ya on this song
I know so many that suffer from this. I really wish I hadn’t watched this first thing in the morning. Too close to home! In fact on my doorstep tears😢 One day at a time.
There's people like me that fight with our self every day . The people that Marry us and choose to stay with us Are The heroes. They love us on days that we can't love ourselves.
Take care for me depression is serious.god bless you
This video always hits me hard because it reminds me of my wife and all the amazing memories of her and love we had she had the most amazing smile that i miss so much. But at the same time she also mirrored all the same struggles shown in this video and I had alot of the same experiences portrayed in this aswell. She found me when i was at my worst and pulled me out of the depths of hell and she saved me and I tried so hard to save her but in the end I failed and for that ill never forgive myself. She was only 31 years old I went to work and when I came home I found her no phone call I had to make the calls. She made the world so much briter with her in it, the gods made a mistake they should have taken me not her so now It just leaves me waiting for my turn for tomorrow not to come for the chance to hold her again. I miss her so fucking bad every second of every day. Thanks for the reaction and the conversation brother your reacts to songs like this help me to process and remember and really helps to not feel so alone being imprisoned in my own 4 walls. Thankyou
I cried like so hard when I first saw this video. Like red poofy eye cried. Sigh. It hit me deep.. i thought he had murdered her at first. But nope..... to love someone u couldnt even save jusy broke my heart
I don't normally like reaction videos, but I'm so glad I stumbled on yours. You're so humble and your reactions are so genuine. I'm subscribed now.
Try living it. It sucks everyday not pulling the trigger. I keep my faith in God and keep putting one foot forward. I pray for those like me
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!
I love this song. It hits me in the feels, like really brings tears to my eyes. I've seen a few reactions to it and Greg, thank you for your reaction. It was very real and you got the message Chris is telling there. Stay safe, sir
You are so friggin good at being able to really see the meaning of videos, thank you for doing this one.
Song should mean whatever you want it to mean
Mental illness is very real and needs more awareness and easier treatment options
I love that Chris used his platform to bring some awareness….ur reaction was beautiful and real, thank u!!!!
I was on patrol one day and saw two young girls literally destroyed in an accident. I knew from that point I could no longer serve with the Patrol. Those girls just reminded me of my kids at home. I could not imagine getting a call to a scene involving your family. It actually happened to one of our Troopers in the north division.Literally destroyed him. God bless all who wear the badge. And lets all recognize some people have internal issues that can be more serious than we realize.
Chris is great
This one hurts so deep , no words
I know some one dealing with the same thing but all I can do is be there for them and give them the best advice I can like you say there world is a whole lot different from mine all we can do is get them to see life in a better way
Tragic...
For some folks..living hurts more than dying...those that find life..were they always meant to find life..and those who don't..can't ?...
We will never understand completely...💧🙏💧...🌿🌿🌿
Greg I am a new follower. I love all your Chris Stapleton reactions. You are very genuine. Thanks again.
That was deep and to the heart
I felt you had an honest reaction to the video and as a result were very engaged with your content. Great insight and commentary on what you experienced watching the video. thank you.
Love your genuine reaction ❤️
It doesn’t have to be about a partner. I lost a friend. He made his own exit. My mother struggles. I’m afraid she will too. Some of her struggles she passed on to me. I think about that too. The point of this song is awareness and empathy. It doesn’t propose a solution. It highlights awareness and empathy. Sometimes that’s all it takes. Sometimes they succumb to the illness. All we can do is love them and try what’s in our ability to deliver.
This was like looking in a mirror for me. It made me realize I needed to get my shit in control, and made me realize how much I've put my husband through
It's most important to take care of your mental health for yourself, but sometimes seeing how it affects others is what it takes to make it a priority
I definitely wasn't ready for this one yet today especially! But ty Greg... Yes it is definitely hard...I relate a lot to this song💔🤦😭😭😭
Ty doll! 😔😢💔🤦🙏
I'm with you on this one... this and Brothers in Arms are the two most powerfully emotional pieces of music I've ever seen. There's no coming back from something like this. Too often if they are determined, there's nothing you can do but love them and hope they find a way out of their pain.
As someone who suffers with bipolar depression daily, I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you spoke your truth with this reaction. We DO need to do better as a society to help those who suffer from illnesses that we cannot see with our eyes. We need more LOVE IN THIS WORLD, AND LESS HATE!
For those who suffer, I can't speak for anyone but myself but, I think our biggest fear is being forgotten by the people we love; the people who say "I got your back through whatever" and the sad realization that they don't. Our minds, our thoughts, our actions can be downright ugly as f*ck; then there's days we can be "high on life" and feeling invincible, then one small thought, one simple misunderstanding can catapult us into such a dark spot, that it feels impossible to get out of. Society as a whole needs to come together and step up our love and open our hearts. You never know what somebody is going through, so be kind with your words; who knows? Maybe a simple word/act of love and kindness can help improve someone's mood.
LOVE the reaction Greg, thank you for doing this song. You should check out Matt Cannon - The Call. Similar message, amazingly underrated song.
Much love fam. 💜
So I barely watch this type of content. But U popped up. U are AMAZING. It's simple be real. U do it WELL DONE. SAID RIGHT!!!
that was a really thoughtful genuine reaction 🙏🏻
You have true compassion Bro
You never think it's that bad you always think you can fix it until it's too late
As a person suffering from severe depression this hits home , and sometimes it does not matter who it is there is no helping it.
So many people don't understand what people with mental illness live with. If this shakes you to the core, I can promise that it's worse for the person who's head is filled with all of this. I am that girl. Feeling worthless and unwanted. The feeling of dread and impending doom. It is a horrible existence.
Great words for those going through mental health issues and those around them. Talk to the person, listen to them, come along side them and support them as much as you can. Let's take the stigma away from those suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, etc.
Yours was the most real most genuine heartfelt reaction I’ve ever seen…you truly felt it💕
Depression. It killls ya.
Beautiful reaction
The video it's self is so deep and the music and words added pushes it to a whole other level.
The song has powerful message. You must listen to more songs by Chris stapleton
Mental health ❤
I have suffered from mental illness for a very long time. I was first diagnosed with depression in 1996. But in 1993 I remember standing out in my front yard (we lived in the country) I had an entire bottle of sleeping pills in my hand. I heard the word "mama" I turned around thinking one of my two young daughters (ages 3 and 1) had called me. But there was no one there. I turned back around and threw all the pills out into the woods. I went inside and both my girls were asleep. Then years later I had gone through a separation, my husband of 16 years had cheated 9 times, had finally left for the other woman. He was mentally and physically abusive, I had been called fat, ugly, worthless, pushed around, knocked down, just everything except literally hit. And yet I loved him so desperately. Also as a child, at 2 weeks old my mom sold me for drugs, my grandmother found out two weeks after that and was able to buy me back. My mom didn't come looking for me for a couple more weeks. Most of my life I was with my grandma, because my mom was an addict. But from time to time I was with my mom. Never knew my father. And then when I was 5 I was molested, when I was 10 I was molested every day for 2 months, when I was 13 I was raped. So when you add what my marriage was like, I was pretty messed up. When he chose to leave I finally attempted suicide. I took an entire bottle of Ambien. And by the Grace of God I began throwing up, and my grandmother found me and took me to the emergency room. But people still acted like my depression was something I needed to deal with. Now we fast forward to 2008. Just went through my second divorce and was always wanting to be asleep, if I could just sleep life wasn't so bad. And I fell asleep in the shower after taking way to much medicine I flooded my bathroom and part of my bedroom. I was taken to the emergency room. I was then asked in detail about my mental status. But I told them I was fine, no suicidal thoughts. Just tired. 3 days later I woke up and asked my adult daughter to take me to our local crisis center. I went in patient for 2 weeks was diagnosed Bipolar. Life is completely different when your treated correctly. But after a couple years I thought I was better and didn't need the meds. And then I started making bad decisions and broke the law, I stole $14,000 over 6 month time from my employer. I ended up losing the ability to talk to my teenage daughter. And then my second daughter stopped to me on June 7 2017. I was arrested in May of 2018, almost 3 years after this occurred. I determined through all that, that I can not stop taking my meds. My youngest daughter started talking to me after she graduated and was on her own, my second daughter still has not spoken to me now after 5 1/2 years, I have never met my 3yr old grandson. And now I'm 2 months away from finishing my deferred sentence, I will finally be of probation. I have a great job and am happy. I only wish to get my daughter to let me in. Mental illness is hard. We need more of our families to realize this is not in our control. It is real!!
Only one way to get to a new day and that is to make it through the one you are in.
New to you. I have bi-polar/manic depression and other things. My boyfriend has not only saved me a time but he has learned and helped me 1000x more than I thought another human could help me. It's soo so important to have a partner who understands and is willing to be there bc it is alot of work when I have my episodes if I am not taking care of myself. I would undoubtedly do the same for him. I am happy to say I have been depression free for about a year ✨ 😌
