Song Fire Away
Artist Chris Stapleton - Розваги
Just listen to the words without the video. He's singing about unconditional love. That's what your wife sent you. Every time you are able,, sir, tell her & your children that you return that love. Thank you for your service to our country. I pray you are doing well.
Your wife is telling you that she's there 1,000% in your corner. That's what Fire Away, take your best shot, I'm not afraid means. You are LOVED!
Don't ever apologize for speaking your truth we love you..
Thank you so much!
Chris is donating the proceeds of this song to a mental health organization that provides resources for those in need. (The website is shown at the end of the video, but YT won't let me type it in.) There is a, "Making Of Fire Away" video that interviews Chris, the director and actors that talks about where this song came from. This character is suffering from bipolar disorder, but it can be any type of mental health struggles. I'm so sorry you struggle. And I appreciate what you've done and given of yourself for this country. If you're a person who believes in prayers, I'll be praying for you. If not, just consider it a big hug and lots of positive vibes. 🫶 I appreciate you.
My daughter and brother are bipolar and this is the absolute best example I’ve ever seen of bi polar depression. It’s hard but if you love them you do everything you can to keep them with us.
Those last words, "I didnt find her" hit me like a ton of bricks. I didnt find my husband who was a Veteran and lost his battle with mental issues. Chris Stapleton accomplished raising awareness of mental health illness with this song.
I cannot even begin to imagine. God bless you. I will pray for you and your family. I appreciate and love you brother.
They kept pressuring Chris to do a video. He agreed if they would do it his way. He wanted to shine a light on mental health. Mental health is a health issue not a choice. I know. You are doing something important and caring by sharing your health problem. Even if people reach out and say, How are you today? No how are you really doing? It means more than you know
Iv'e watched so many reactions to this song.. and the thing that stands out to me is when he is answering the questions at the hospital and he says I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T FIND HER!! that says so much , he has so far always found her in time.. and this time he didn't... great song , so true to form ..Thank You for reacting
I battle depression too. It’s a daily battle. Most days I win, today I was losing until I came across this video. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction and accurate depiction of depression. God Bless you and thank you for your service.
You are very welcome!!!
Please know that you are not alone. There are a lot of us out there. I give all of the credit to my husband who has stuck it out for 31 years. He has had to sit by my hospital bed and watch me throw up all of the black charcoal. Plenty of hard work and finally getting the right medication is needed too. Don't give up
You are a very special, caring human being. I'm so glad you have a wife and kids who love you and need you. That's one of the very best things in life. I love it that you're reaching out to others, trying to help them deal with depression. I'm glad I met you today. I feel richer for it. I felt true depression once in my life when our daughter died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). She was 'perfect,' but she was gone. The only thing that made me live was my husband and son (he was 2 at the time). The pain never leaves, but one learns to live with it and find the things that give you joy. I'm glad you've started this channel. Keep reaching out. Keep knowing that you have a lot to give others. Know that even people who don't really know you are reaching out to you. Thanks. I'll watch for your next video, plus check out the ones you've already done.
Thank you for your service to this country Sir. I am an Air Force veteran and I too suffer from depression and ptsd. It is so hard to explain to others what it truly feels like. Not what they see on tv or the internet. This video tore me up because it is the closest portrayal that I have ever seen of serious mental health issues. Thanks for doing this video, I know it must have broke your heart as well. But you pushed through it and have shown or even reminded people that this is very serious stuff. Well done, and again, thank you for your bravery in serving this country. My heart goes out to you.
It hit me hard. That's been me most of my life. Depression is the coldest, deepest, darkest place I've ever been in my life.
Chris Stapleton did a lot of research and put a lot of respect and advocacy into mental illness awareness into this video. It shows the extreme highs and lows of being mentally ill and the ones that try to save their loved ones. It also shows the representation that even as a cop, who saves so many, couldn't save his loved one from her mental illness on his own. Acceptance, awareness, and action, stopping the taboo and speaking openly about these issues, helping your loved one to get help is how we save one another. 💚 ; your story isn't over yet
I suffer from PTSD and you are the first to explain everything I go through. Sometimes I want to off myself but I’m a coward. Thank you very much.
You are very much welcome!
Lewis capaldi before you go, someone you loved, wish you the best, extremely touching songs. A true reaction, keep fighting, ur not alone ❤
I battled depression and anxiety for a year and a half after losing my mom and for QUITE a while prior to that while being her caregiver. Thankfully, I have a VERY understanding husband who recognized and understood the signs and stood by me through all of it....I am proud to say that I was FINALLY able to come out on the other side a stronger, more beautiful, and more empowered version of myself, but I don't think I would have been able to do it without his support, so to say that I fully understand where you are coming from is a complete understatement! I remember snapping on my husband and kids for no reason, and I can't help but feel soooo grateful that they understood and stood by me when I needed it!❤❤❤
We love you brother and are praying for you and your family. We are all broken in some way and have a cross to carry. We have to start by loving ourselves again then we can love others. That’s why Jesus died. To heal the broken hearts and lives. He did it because he loves us. He understands!
My guess is she was bi polar because they show going from screaming on the bed to jumping up and down on it.
This song is so beautiful, and the video shows both sides of a relationship where someone is battling mental illness.
When I saw the title, I knew this would hit you hard.
Chris normally doesn't do videos, but choose this song to do one to highlight the struggle of those who deal with mental illness. I find that admirable.
The actors in this video are tremendous as well.
You don't deserve to go through what you go through either.
I'm so glad that you have that support system. They love you, and I'm sure it's hard for all of you.
They know you're worth the fight every single day.
You are doing a great service helping people as you continue to help yourself.
Please consider reacting to George Strait's song Weight of the Badge.
There are two versions of the video please do this one. It's a tribute to first responders.

So many of us siblings in the past and in the pain…. Everyone please get help, talk to someone!
As a fellow depressed person, I want to raise my glass to the fact that you are that self-aware. I've dealt with the dark beast my entire life and I'm 55 years old. Maybe I inherited it from my mom (RIP) but where ever I got it from, I've made it this far. It's a daily struggle and like you said some days are really great but others are not. I'm the type that puts on a good face for everyone else but not for myself. Hang in there brother. Each episode you survive can make you stronger - believe me, it gets harder the older you get. I tell myself that "I survived another one". And maybe it's not much comfort, but thank you for your service.
Thank you for your kind words. One of the most important things to me is surrounding myself with positive, supportive and loving people. Thank you for your support.
The song is about he wants her to use him as a punching bag, to inflict the pain on him instead of herself.
God Bless young man you are not alone. ❤ Mom, Aunt , Daughter, Niece of Veterans
Thank you Sir for your Service. God Bless you and I will pray for you. It takes a real man to shoe his own vulnerabilities and it’s healing as well. Take care.
I have watched this video numerous times, and it reduces me to a blubbering lump every time. I know they are actors, but DAMN!!
My heart feels for you ❤❤. I pray that you will over come your battles.🙏🙏🙏
God bless you, and comfort you through your good days and your bad days!
Thank you for what you did for this country, for the people of this country! We owe you a debt that can never be repaid!! Your sacrifices have helped this country to remain the best country in this world!!
May you find peace, my brother!!
Much respect, Much love! ❤
Hi there, thank you for your service! And thank you for sharing a bit of yourselves with us. I am an army veteran, and I definitely have my moments as well. I really appreciated your vulnerability. God bless you and your family.
Want to add this to my comment. I have dealt with depression on & off for years. It's a truism that laughter is medicine. It's always helped me. When I'm down I try to find something to make me laugh out loud at least once every single day. Since you're doing music videos, why not start there? May I suggest Ashley McBryde, Caylee Hammack & Pillbox Patti singing "Brenda Put Your Bra On" & Toby Keith singing "I Ain't As Good As I Once Was". Toby has several funny ones. How about Brad Paisley "Ticks". Be well, sir.
The part that broke me in this video is when he says "I don't know, I didn't find her" because every other time he found her, and brought her back.
Progress over perfection, my man
Thank you for sharing all of this with us. Just know there are a lot of strangers on the internet cheering for you too. God bless you and your family
Hang in there brother. Trust me. You’re definitely not alone. Love ya back
I had a friend who had PTSD issues, I lost her and I cry every time I see this video. I tried to be strong for her but the demons won.
God Bless you and Thank you for your service!!
Thanks for the great content brother. Keep fighting. Thanks for our service
You don't need to apologize to us for being human. 🇨🇦
Mental health issues are a son of a bitch. We lose far too many beautiful people that have the depression overtake them. 😪💓
Being detached is better than checking out!
You are creating a family with this, we are all here for you. Much respect.
Bless you for doing this video, and sharing your personal experience. ❤. I know it doesn’t fix things, yet I just want to say... You have people paying attention, and we care. We don’t know you... yet I feel you. Feeling doesn’t fix, I just hope it reminds you that you are never alone. God bless you. Keep doing the things that give you hope.... there is light.
PTSD Vet here. Thanks so much for your honest advice brother
I deal with Flashbacks from all I been through. With Childhood bullying that still haunts me. My 🧠 is like hell
My heart goes out to you for what you deal with. I know you feel bad for the effect you have on your family but know that they love and support you. I understand because I suffer also due to experiencing an abusive marriage and losing my son. It is a daily struggle. I am sending my support to you
💗 The struggle with mental health issues is so hard on the person and so difficult on their partner as well. So glad for this video, it’s difficult to watch but very much needed.
You are not alone, Sir. As a spouse to someone who has dealt with depression and other health issues, I can tell you are not alone and your family is always better for having you. It's alright to be honest with them and to let them be strong for you when you need it. Our family is at a better place now, but it wasn't a straight paved road. There were often potholes with many sharp curves. We all learned to talk through the rough times, but always coming from a place of love. Eventually, we learned to laugh more than cry. Our family mantra comes from the movie Steel Magnolia "laughter through tears is (our) favorite emotion". LOL!
Btw-The words of this song nailed it for me when I heard it the first time, too.
Your honesty is amazing, God bless❤
Thank you so much!
This song is literally like looking in a mirror for me. I am her!!! I put my husband through HELL but 25 years hes still fighting against my push!!! Stay strong and thank you for your sacrifice!!!
And as always, thank you for your service! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your support!!!
Much love to you. Im struggling with depression and anxiety daily.
I go through the motions of life and just feel dead inside most of the time.
Music is my escape most of the time now that my ex left me which spiralled me into darkness and would never wish it on anyone. Sick not weak
Thanks to you, love Stapilton.
What a pure and vulnerable reaction. Thank you. Much love.
I appreciate that
Just stumbled on this and i have to say your vulnerability is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I wish you the best of luck. And I Thank You for Your Service.
Thank you for your support and kind words.
Love this song and that’s for reacting brother. I relate to this song when my wife and I PCS’d to kirtland AFB New Mexico…. She got so depressed being away from family for the first time…. She was even suicidal like this.
Thanks for the reaction
Bruh.. I struggle with the same shit Stapleton touches my soul. I am not my own.. divorced. Thought about taking my like. But my sons smile gets me through. That’s all I can do
Love you brother thanks for your service!
You are here for a reason! I know I'm new to the channel but thank you for what you're doing you don't know how much what you're doing truly means, stay strong and much love
Such a beautiful reaction. I felt every bit of what you said brother. Stay strong.
I’m with you, have same diagnosis. It’s hard. Mine cost me 3 marriages. My family calls it my spells. Therapy helps but it’s a lifelong battle.
Aloha! I was thinking about how therapeutic these reactions are for You, and you said it. Right on, brother! 🤙
Praying for you brother 🙏
Great reaction to this video!!
Love ya brother. God Bless
If you listen without watching the video is amazing. Again, this is about her mental health - bipolar - and how he loves her unconditionally
Thank you for all you do. This video and the reaction really hit home. God bless.
Dear heart, depression can not be dealt with by willpower. Don’t beat yourself up over it. As a nurse, I also deal with my own depression and I have found that talk therapy and medication can help tremendously. I lost my oldest brother to suicide after returning from Vietnam and I have experienced the pain of being one left behind. Self-care is essential. Reach out!!!!!
The first time I saw you I was feeling it I suffer Ever day from sun up to sundown it seem hopeless. 4 me to be honest no
Quality of life for me But see you helped me to get up and something thanks 🙏
Much ❤ Flea
You will never identify the good days if you never have the bad ones. To the outside world I choose to be alone so I can't hurt others when I'm not good. 19 years and counting of extra years I owe to a trucker and good medical assistance both then and now. I don't even remember much about apart from thinking without id on me It'd be a while before I was noticed missing. I choose every day I'm alive to silently thank that trucker as I'll never be able to do so in person. Due to other health issues I haven't worked for the last 6 years until I got a new job last year. Celebrated my 1st full year back in work last week. Every win is just that, a WIN. I hope that you get any and all help to ensure your kids and wife get to have you walk with them ❤. Seen a poster all those years ago saying every minute 1 in 4 people are experiencing a mental health crisis which allows 3 in 4 people to help that 1 in need 😊
God Bless You 🙏🏻
Much love , respect , and prayers 🙏 ❤️ 💙 to you and yours. New subscriber.
Your not alone is right, that includes you we are more than happy to hear your thoughts and feelings.
Respect and much love #miltaryfam. ❤️
Love you praying for you❤
I completely understand not from PTSD anyone going through that my prayer my wish is that you can find someone that you can talk to honestly to with no judgement but hopefully whys to work through what you need. I can sense were she is coming from I know so many times if I could just go away my family would be better off, but seeing this video I know I was wrong but at times i felt like I am too much to deal with you seem like a good guy so I pulling for you and your family
Chris put out a video about the making of this one. It's very good.
Mitch Rossell - A Soldier's Memoir (Official Video)
this is one you should do
Thanks for sharing with us. Stay strong.
Try a more upbeat one from Chris - Starting Over.
I don’t know your past or your branch brother I just stumbled across your video but I appreciate your view because honestly I’m a vet and I’m over fighting this war with myself internally I fought for others and our freedoms but I’m so tired and over fighting myself I want to give in so bad but don’t want my kids to suffer
I definitely understand brother. Just keep pushing one day at a time!
Stay Strong Bro!
Thank you!!!
Feel you ❤️❤️❤️
What is that so many of us that are wrecked by songs like these enjoy seeing someone else hit by them the same way?
It gives us that understanding that we are not alone in these struggles.
@@TormentedVet_Reactions There is some really powerful art out there.
Ren's "Hi Ren" and "The tale of Jenny and Screech" are in that club. Expect to hear more about Ren as time goes by.
Im a social wirker as well a farmers daughter and i deal with depression too. 2 red flags for me were her walking barefoot thru cornfield as dried cornstalks cut like razors. Shes oblivious to the pain from the cuts i know shes getting with every step. 2nd, shes sitting in bathtub with clothes on. Nobody who is ok does that. I knew she was getting ready to drown herself just because of that. My uncle was WWII Vet. Mama said he came back different. Then his first wife cheated and he loved her dearly. Broke his heart and ended in divorce. He slept with woman he didnt love, she lied about being pregnant so he married her. She said she lost baby. Later, she really got pregnant and baby seemed fine but at age 2, something wrong and he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Another heartbreak. But they took excellent care of my cousin and he lived to be 34. Totally unheard of. My aunt was sweet but extremely needy. My uncle drowned himself in alcohol to escape. He retired after 38 years and was with her then, full time. He had PTSD untreated, lived with needy woman he couldnt stand, and he felt useless. My aunt had to gp tempirarily to nursing home, so my parents had my uncle stay with them for 3 weeks each and my uncle got better. He smiled and joked, like he used to, and looked forward to going out on farm with daddy everyday and going fishing. Then my aunt would call crying and his whole mood changed. She begged him to come get her and he did, then he went to utility shed, put gun in mouth and pulled trigger. Its sent shock waves through all of us. Sir, i appreciate you and what you do here. I appreciate your service and your daily battles with depression. Its a dark place. But so glad you have a wife who loves and supports you. Sounds like shes your angel. Hold her tight and get help you need along way for your feelings. We all who watch you want to keep you with us! My heart is with you. ❤❤
That you so much for the kind words and for your story. And my condolences for your loss.
@@TormentedVet_Reactions Thank you dear sir. My uncles death was many years ago. But I've thought of suicide few times and God keeps stepping in. I guess he kinda likes me. I was investigative social worker for State of Alabama for 25 years in area of adult and child abuse/neglect. I carry with me, in my mind and heart, many unspeakable horrors. But I protected alot of elders and kids and I was their voice when they didn't have one. So it was worth it. What your doing with your channel and connecting with folks on deep levels is so WORTH it! God put you here for a reason and this is just one of them! On bad days, read what followers have told you about how much we like and enjoy you. Then go hug your sweet wife and just take the time to feel her body melt into yours. She's known your worth it from the day you met her. You are loved, appreciated and cherished. Remember that always. ❤
I am only one but still I am one, I cannot do everything but I can do something and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do what I can. When you do the little things right, big things will happen.
The corn field. What noone has mentioned in any comments. Do you know how painful walking through a very dry cut corn field is? It is a painful and bloody process. It is implying, through her blank stair not reacting, she is that far gone.
Him puking outside the hospital, I know that scene. I did that when my wife passed away.
I have CPTSD. ITS SO DARN HARD
Do your best to search out the natural highs of life!
wait...wait for it
Depression, real depression is so that... real.
He went back to the bar where they first met :(
you are you doing brother. are you coping well. i hope you are deal well
I have PTSD and Depression
Have you ever looked into ketamine infusions? I’ve heard it really helps depression and ptsd. I’m going to try it to help with my chronic pain because it’s supposed to help with pain also
❤😢❤
I was married to a Marine Recon Combat Veteran for 20 yrs. Trust me when say that I have a story. In his honor, I'd love to have 1 short conversation with you.
That was Chris in the bar..
Listen to me... some people don't have a father figure in their life BUT it's so much better than being afraid every day at 5pm when the front door is slammed shut when your Dad comes home. "Is he gonna beat me OR my brother? Is he gonna beat my mom? or is he just gonna be Nasty Mean to us? While my mom is hiding our school report cards from him, cuz she knows what he'd do to us" YOU ARE NOT THAT KIND OF DAD!!!!❤AND MOST LIKELY IT WAS GOD'S WILL THAT HE WASN'T THERE... GOD KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED!k
😢😢😢😢😢
It’s a tough song.
