This is the only "produced" video I know of from Chris. And the only pre-recorded version of anything I recommend over his live performances. There's an interview on TH-cam with the director, actors and him about the video that's interesting. It is definitely meant to bring awareness to mental health issues. I would guess this particular situation represented by the video would be bipolar or maybe manic depressive. I don't know enough to tell, but that's a strong message and the love in the message of the song ... I'll take everything you can throw at me and still be here for you... it just hits on so many levels. Thanks for reacting to this one, great reaction! (Listen to the audio without the video so you can get the impact of the raw vocals, as well. His vocals take a back seat to the message of the video, but if you hear them alone, they pack a different punch.)
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 Im not leaving! Fire away I'm still coming back for more.. but still couldnt help her from her mental depression
GREAT REACTION AS ALWAYS! CHRIS WANTS EVERYONE TO ENJOY HIS SONGS BECAUSE OF THE SONG NOT THE VIDEO. HOWEVER, WHEN HE WAS APPROACHED TO PLAY THIS WONDERFUL HEARTBREAKING VIDEO AS "THE VIDEO" TO "FIRE AWAY" HE IMMEDIATELY SAID YES. I CAN'T THINK OF A SINGLE SONG THAT WOULD WORK ANY BETTER. PERIOD!!!!!!!! THANKS CHRIS. THIS PROVES THAT YOU ARE NOT ONLY A GREAT MUSICIAN, SINGER & SONGWRITER BUT A SUPER HUMANITARIAN AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! 🙏🏻 From everything I have seen so far Chris appears to be a very humble guy who has his feet planted firmly on the ground! It’s great to see someone use there talent to promote causes such as mental health in such a powerful way as Chris did in this video!
@@taylorfamilyreactions: Several country artists do that. Dolly has spoken about gay rights---and Reba not only has spoken about it, but has a song. Also Reba and Martina McBride, have songs about domestic abuse.
It makes me glad to see people with influence call attention to mental illness. My young cousin fell in love with and married a man that suffered from a bi-polar disorder, after their son was born, Mike stopped taking his meds, flushed the pills and no one knew what he was doing. He had a wild swing 1 day and beat her almost to death, she died of the injuries, the whole thing was so tragic. He went to prison, they got his meds leveled out, but now he has to live with that and their son is in foster care, people just don't take mental illness serious enough and the stigma around needing help is still bad enough to make people, like Mike, stop taking their meds. It is devastating.
Thank you for your recommendation Jennifer! Looking forward to checking it out soon! Sounds like I might have to make sure I have my stiff British upper lip with me for it though! 😂 Hope your well?
This song hits so hard due to facing depression for the last 11 years. Worst of all is so called friends don’t care and just use you instead of caring. Hence why I have maybe a couple friends and try to lean on my family who care but you don’t always want to share those feelings with family as you don’t want them to worry about you.
Great video with an even better message about mental health. Fun fact about the video, Chris had a cameo as the bartender in the bar the police officer/main character has his shots in. Great reaction.
@saccomad 1 hour ago listen to Chris' cover of "its a man's world' (james brown cover ) live and his own songs 'either way' - 'barely alive ' - 'i was wrong' - 'higher' - 'north dakota ' - 'death row' - 'sometimes I cry ' ( but there are so many many more (past and present).. he is a true artist! And he always has a story to tell .. the best storyteller ever!! your reaction is great!
I really didn’t want to watch this video, the song hits home. My daughter is bipolar, and every three months she has an episode and I just let her “Fire away “ at me. This song is still hard to always listen to, but I wanted to see your reaction because I love how You interpret music. Thank you very much, you are very appreciated.
Relatable. I have bipolar 1. Many suicide attempts. It is never anyones “fault”, once I have the plan in my head, reaching out won’t work. I have the best support system that have been there through it all, diagnosed at 17, I’m 55 now! The suicide ideation never goes away for me! The attempts are not attention seeking or a cry for help! Mine were definitely wanting to die. To anyone taking care of someone like me, or are dealing with losing their loved one to suicide! Please know that you did everything right, but our brains are exhausted from fighting and there is NOTHING you could’ve done to stop it. We are very good at hiding & saying what you want to hear. This may not be the case for others who suffer with bipolar, but when I’m off my meds that is my story. Xx
Don’t suffer from depression myself, however I have become an unwilling viewer on this from a few directions, and it is a bitch. Lost a good friend to a similar incident, great guy, successful, beautiful wife, baby on the way, had dinner with his wife, brother and sister-in-law, went upstairs at brother’s house and did himself in. Some family, also, very smart person, felt worthless, almost succeeded a few times. Be grateful you don’t have it, cause it’s a monster. Both were in their 20’s. Song brings red, wet eyes always.
If you listen to it without watching the video, there is definitely a different feel to the song, it is more a sad love song of someone saying 'I know your angry, unload on me I gonna still be there for you.' As far as the video the woman seemed to be bipolar. Uncontrollable extreme highs and then extreme lows.
changedirection.org Not many reactors pick up on the fact that he was there to "save" her every time... until he wasn't. There is guilt in his voice, when he tells the doctors, "I didn't find her". You can't love someone out of mental illness.

Agreed
This was made to bring awareness to mental health. She appeared to struggle with bi-polar disorder... I cry every time I watch this...
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 Im not leaving! Fire away I'm still coming back for more.. but still couldnt help her from her mental depression
Cris Stapleton is the bartender in this video
I cry everytime I hear this song. Dealing with anxiety and depression and those bad thoughts. Being hopeless and thinking the end is best.
If this video says one person's life then it's worth it depression is real loneliness is real love your family while you have them
True words! Hope your doing well?
Idk what made me tear up more. The song or the message you gave. Thanks mate from the US.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻
GREAT REACTION AS ALWAYS! CHRIS WANTS EVERYONE TO ENJOY HIS SONGS BECAUSE OF THE SONG NOT THE VIDEO.

I Was Wrong is a MUST too:)

in the early 80's we had a singer, Bob Seger, who sang almost EXACTLY like Chris. He didn't have the song repertoire but the voice's are identical!!!
Whiskey lullaby is another tear jerker

Great video and reaction my friend. Depression is tough I struggle with myself.
Thank you for saying that Mike, I really appreciate it! I hope your doing well and taking care of yourself!

I just found your channel today.
I love country music
And I have enjoyed hearing at least 10 songs so far. Thank you for playing music close to my ❤️

My daughter has severe bipolar and borderline schizophrenia...and I sob every time I watch this😪we need more real professional help in our country😥🙏
Please react to Travis Tritt's trilogy videos. It is 3 videos that will captivate you from the beginning. His voice is awesome.
Sorry I asked you to react to this on your Tennessee whiskey video..
WELL DONE!!💞💞😘🌷🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you 🙏🏻 I hope you enjoyed it?
This song is about mental illness and By Polar in particular. To bring awareness to people.
The husband was the main hero in the movie NEED FOR SPEED check out interview of Chris and cast about video. Very informative
You should give, "What are you listening to" live by Chris a listen. I know you will enjoy it!!!
Chris plays the part if the bartender at the beginning…
Being a loving husband listen to his song Millionaire
Love the song but so hard watching the video!
Did you notice Chris as the bartender?
Hi Lana! I didn’t catch it the first time but I did after a few people mentioned it in the comments and I watched it again! Great song!
It used to be called manic depression. Now it’s called bipolar. It’s super difficult to find the right chemical balance.
This story really rocked me since losing my wife
Sorry to hear that Warren! Hope your well?
@@taylorfamilyreactions Thank you Sir

As far as the video the woman seemed to be bipolar. Uncontrollable extreme highs and then extreme lows.
Please react to Death Row by Chris Stapleton
Thank you for the recommendation, I have made sure it is on the list! 👍🏻
Check out Tyler Childers. The OurVinyl Sessions are great. Especially Nose On The Grindstone
Thank you for the suggestion! Looking forward to checking it out! 👍🏻
Bi-Polar and depression..Mental illness...That's what this song is about !!
The song's about mental illness that his wife suffered from.
