I am a survivor of 3 suicide attempts I have been diagnosed with bipolar depression it's real I have been told on many occasions to just snap out of it.Its not a choice for us to live and feel this way.But after 55 dealing with horrible monster that wants my life and my soul.I have truly learned to love and respect myself and to take it minute by minute hour by hour and day by day. God bless anyone that reads this and I pray it helps you as well

The first time I heard this song it surprised me too, to me, it’s basically saying, “hurt me, because I can take it, please don’t hurt yourself, because that’s something I cannot bear.”

I was shopping with my daughter. She said mama I want you to watch this video. You see I have bi-polar and take my medicine everyday as prescribed but I have days I wish I wasn't here to keeping dealing with the crazy that are my thoughts that run through my head. When we got back to car, she pulled up this song on youtube in the Walmart parking lot. I remember tears running down my face when the song ended I just kept looking at the phone. After a few moments of silence, she simply said I live you mama never forget that and I'll always be here. No matter what. (Sorry for the long message)

The lady was bi-polar and the husband was just trying to love her through all that crazy.

I am a mom of 5 who suffers from BPD and Bipolar 1 disorder. This song hits me so close because I'm watching my life in the video. One of his all time best songs with such a good story line and video to bring mental health awareness to the surface. Chris is one of The Best singer/songwriters of all time!!!!!!

I had just gotten a divorce. I turned to alcohol so I could forget my life for just a little while. Luckily, i only drank for about a month. My parents took me to the hospital because they thought it was my multiple sclerosis causing the balance issues and not being able to think straight. They did blood work and I had already had liver damage. The doctor knew right away from my blood work. I would be drinking straight vodka. I would watch this video. It took me a long time to be able to listen to this again. I'm totally sober. I haven't drank even a sip of any alcohol in four years. He wasn't worth it. He was a terrible person. He broke me. I just decided to stop giving me any control over my thoughts. I was in the floor crying and praying for God to let me forget him. I had to forgive him for me. One day I woke up completely at peace. The power of prayer is very real. Sorry for the long comment.

This is a heartbreaking video but so important to see. I have a bipolar daughter who thankfully does better than this. But my heart hurts for the struggles in her life.

When I first heard this song a very good friend of mine had just ended her life and I honestly was considering doing the same thing, I was in such a dark place that I couldn't see the light, I couldn't see my way out of it, and I watched the video and it showed me how much it would hurt my loved ones, so I decided to just keep my head up and keep pushing.. this song literally saved my life.

At his concert!! I was touched by the words... saw the video and was blown away.. the fact that the police officer's job was to help people... and he couldn't help the person he loved was heartbreaking.

Sometimes you can't love someone enough to save them from themselves.

Remember when it came out. Made me think of my wife. Mental illness is tough on both sides. Just shows how both people hurt differently. Mental illness is real and not enough talked about.

I am bipolar, have had serious love, trying to hold on to me and keep me safe. It's been hard on me and anyone who cares for me. I cried so hard watching this the 1st time. I sobbed. Only my sons have kept me.

This is the only video Chris Stapleton's ever made...

“Whiskey and you” is one of his songs that no one every mentions..... well worth a listen and reaction.

I heard this song several times before I watched the video and it really hit home for me. Not gonna lie...I cried and still do but I dont let my little lady see it. Its hard but I'm still in this fight.

The purpose of this video according to Chris Stapleton is to bring awareness to mental health issues, part of proceeds were donated for awareness of mental health.

Driving down the road and fire away came on the radio. When i got home, I looked it up on KZfaq and see the video. I was deeply touched and crying. I love the song. Later in an interview, Chris said he did this video to bring awareness to mental illness and hopefully help prevent things like this from happening.

Chris Stapleton also does one called "daddy doesnt pray anymore" itll break your heart but it's a good song

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!!!

Great choice. Chris is a great singer but his songs are just as amazing as that voice.

Living with some that is bi-polar is a 24 hour day of tension and always being prepared for the ups and downs. He is saying he will always be there for everything she is going through until the end, until she was too depressed to go on he wasn't there.

My first time hearing this was when I discovered Chris Stapleton. I went on a CS binge. The Man is brilliant. He can write, sing and play guitar like no one else. I think that by now you've discovered that true Country is the heart and soul of our country. If you'd like to hear another great performer and be warned ahead of time, you will binge on his music. Try CHRIS LEDOUX. Start off with This Cowboy's Hat. I've enjoyed watching your reactions. Wishing You and Family Well and Happiness.

Camping in Tennessee at my cousin's house back in 2017, I was blown away by his voice. And the song is powerful. He immediately became my favorite country singer. In my opinion he has the best voice in country, you should check out his song Tennessee whiskey

I heard this song when I was experiencing something of this nature with my daughters mom although not that extreme. The songs aim was to raise awareness to mental health

Life is so Precious, the pain left behind by this act is tremendous

Loving someone who has emotional issues is hard and no matter how hard you try you can't always save them from themselves if you aren't careful they will take you with them ,the rollercoaster of pain can destroy your body and your soul, if you are in this situation get professional help or risk their life and yours!

The visual was directed by Tim Mattia (Sam Hunt's "Take your Time") and conceived by Chris Stapleton to bring awareness to mental health issues, specifically through the Campaign to Change Direction. The organization was introduced to the singer through Foster. Stapleton also has a cameo role in the video as the bartender who serves Foster.

He is one of the best singer/ songwriters ever

I've been a Chris Stapleton fan since he was a part of the Steel Drivers...SOOOOOOOO good. He's helped me through many a rough emotional time. I'm so glad you discovered him. Love your channel ❤

The love of an individual is not measured in just words, it is when the love of that individual makes an imprint on our lives that makes us want to be better, you want there safety over your own. The song is about love in the sickness part in health.i have lost to many family and friends to mental instability. Few random acts of kindness and letting someone know you care and matter makes a difference in this life.

This video illustrates the difficulty of loving someone with mental/depressive issues. The chorus says basicallly, "I'm in this for the long haul" even though he knows it will be hard and may end badly.

Chris be killing me.... that voice makes me have full body goosebumps and brings me to tears

One Chris Stapleton song you should really hear is Death Row. His voice is insane

Addictions has heart, it's people love you, want you to come home. You can't see death coming that hurts the most😢😢

The bartender at the beginning is played by Chris Stapleton.

Listen to his song Millionaire as a palate cleanser. The stereotype of country music being sad isn't totally unearned.

Sushi your awesome!!!!! Lifelong country music fan here......... its entertaining to see someone appreciate the music i love so much. Chris Stapleton - "Parachute" is absolutely perfect for you Jaimie Johnson - "In color" may be another good one for you. If you keep doing these people like me with continue giving you good ones to do, your reactions are awesome!! The list is endless on good songs you would appreciate. You have a very good wholesome attitude and so your a born country music fan!!!!!! Very wholesome uplifting music which we need so much in a world of negativity!!!!!!!!

I first heard Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey about a year ago, my love skipped out shortly before. I was away hauling and emergency services found her long before I could. This song nut punches me in the heart.

I was coming out of pill addiction and it gave me strength. Also made me realize even more how seriously mental issues are. When you're forced to produce a video and you decide to do it with taste, compassion and beauty.......well it's just fucking admirable and amazing.

You have had a rough couple days with deeply emotional songs huh .. keep up the excellent reactions .

This songs sad for me, i heard it while taking care of my gram, who had stage 4 breast cancer, and severe dementia. I watched her rapidly deteriorate in front of me for a few months, and she would go off like this, but i still stayed, rip gram violet !

Very powerful and emotional as hell. Chris could sing the ingredients on a soup can, and it would have soul, but this? Holy shit.

This song make grown man cry... living and striving to be there for a depressed and vocal depressed/ suicidal wife this makes you cry from the heart

I really enjoy your reactions. That’s why I wanted you to react to this video, but if you let it play until the end a hot line pops out for those who need help. This video is great because it brings light to mental health. An issue that in this country that is not being properly dealt properly with.

A couple months ago saw the video on KZfaq. Shed a few tears, he loved her unconditionally. Just thinking not too many people especially men in the world today, will be there for better or worse

Stapleton... Music to sit back with a glass of whiskey, and just drift away with the music

I heard shortly after my daughter died. My husband would not give up on me. We are raising her baby girl who needed me here and us together. He did that and I am so grateful.

My wife was Bipolar and the shifts from heaven to hell were stupefying and sudden. I eventually lost her and could never go through the pain of trying another relationship again. Trauma, I think. But I had the gift, for 7 years, of living with the most wonderful spirit I have ever encountered in this world. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

Just want to say, out of the various people I've watched doing reaction videos, you by far give the most honest, raw, and deep emotions. I find it hard to even pay attention to the subject at hand, because I get so caught up in the expressions of your face and eyes. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your reactions exposing your own vulnerability. I think I speak not just for myself, but for others when I say we experience something beautiful in the midst of sorrow when you open up in such a personal way. Thank you, and GOD Bless you ❤

Depression is rough... it's a shame when people don't get the help they need... it's hard on everyone

My husband has bi-polar depression. Most days are great, but when it's bad, it's really bad. His sister had it too, and killed herself at 39 years old. This is such a real video. 😢

To love and loose them to something you can't fix is a heartbreaking 💔 price , when I lost my wife to a illness that couldn't be beaten it left my soul with a scar that's never healed!

The first time I heard it was soon after buying his CD.

Good ole country style RnB!! Good stuff. Good review

I don’t know why, but I love watching the tearjerkers. Maybe cause it reminds me we’re human. One such song is Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride. She has an amazing voice.

The first time I heard this song I was taken over by his voice. Then I watched the video and listened more closely and it broke my heart.

Chris Stapleton I was wrong and Chris Stapleton Sometimes I Cry

I saw this video for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I cried like a baby. My brother committed suicide 9 year's ago. You never get over losing someone to suicide. I love Chris Stapleton. He's awesome. Sushi....you are an empath like me. You feel everything. I noticed that the first time I saw you on here. You listened to Whiskey Lullaby. You're real and you have a good heart. Don't ever change!Country music will definitely make you cry. Listen to The Dance by Garth Brooks sometime.

But for a more up lifting song try “I was wrong” from Chris Stapleton. Great voice, my favorite artist

yep yep Chris does it his way , raw like Sushi , i feel how he be

Chris Stapleton has probably written many songs you've heard over the years..Killer songwriter..

I first heard this at a friend's place. I cried hearing this cause I went throu this and she ended up taking her life .

Probably one of his best songs.

watching this, when says she dont really understand it. then when she starts to play it and realizes what its about , her mouth slowly open like I cant believe it... that is Strong,

Chris was in a blue grass band Called The SteelDrivers. They are absolutely awesome. He was in a rock band called The Jompson Brothers.

After almost losing my husband! I’m bipolar, I was manic and untreated. But because I’m a rapid cycle type I was a mess up and down up and down, it’s hard after 20 years. I don’t know why I stopped the meds that time but I did. I was listening to sad songs trying to feel sorry for myself. As one does... I heard this and thought, “ Damnnnn, that is me. He puts up with it. All he wants is to not lose me this way.” I met up with him and broke down and told him I was scared and he told me we would do it together. It wasn’t just on me, and it wasn’t fair to try to do it all by myself. It’s work, but it’s sooo worth it. First time in my life I honestly didn’t try to be normal anymore.

I just found this, it's years old, but I have to answer the question posed before you started the video. What I was doing when I first heard this song was crying. Just. So much crying.

All i can say is my Mom, my oldest sister. Mental health issues came out of the shadows a little late. Being the youngest i was spared.

Awesome reactions! I can imagine not knowing anything about the songs going in then they are emotional roller coasters is tough! Cool you are opening up you music so much!

Young lady, you are AWESOME! You, and a few others, come across with the most sincere, honest, reactions. That is from a 71 year old, white guy who now follow the reactions by our Black brothers and sisters.....almost exclusively. For whatever reason, I feel at home and comfortable, with the emotion that pours our of your heart. I just don't feel that kind of reaction with those who care more about hearing themselves talk. Like a lot of other Southerners, I know that I have always made a connection with the heart and SOUL of my Brothers "of another color." Thank GOD that music is often devoid of prejudice....but is full of the emotion that tears down the walls of hatred!

It all goes on the shelf, man can't be seen to grieve, to weep, everything goes inside, all his loss, all his regret at not loving her enough to keep her alive, he can't show it, so he drinks, fights, causes pain to himself, any man sees it in the face of other men, all that pain locked away.

Thank you so much for reacting to this song. Yes it's about a person suffering from depression, and being bi-polar. It is also about a persons unconditional love, and unwillingness to give up on the person he loves. I heard this song a few months ago, and found myself listening to it at least 5 times straight. It just stuck with me. I don't suffer from depression or anything. But I listen to the words and cant help but wonder what it is like to love someone like that, and to be loved like that as well. So thank you once again for reacting to this video. I knew your reaction would be genuine and from the heart.

Chris. Stapleton fire away is where I am at now

You have the best honest reactions. Love watching your face when you like something.

i can tell when you are about to cry you move your lips up and down and i know you fill the pain in the song

You have beautiful hair. Also you have expressions that move people thru a range of emotions. You have a gift

still gets me every time. an amazing song with a powerful message in the video.

To see your facial expressions towards the end of the song . You get it, life is rough and we really never know the path that we will be lead one 😢

Chris Stapleton is amazing

Your reactions, your facial expressions, your analysis of the music. You're absolutely beautiful inside and it shows through your expressions and eyes during the songs

Hey you did my request!! Lol thanks for the reactions, keep them coming ma’am!

the more i watch your reactions the more i see what a good heart you have.keep it up and thank you

I love this young lady and her reactions,she's so adorable!!

Chris made the video to bring awareness to mental illness and depicts the 5 signs of emotional suffering. At the time the only video he released. At the end it shows the website for changedirection.org. I teared up watching the video and his unconditional love for her but it brings up a subject that people need to talk about and bring awareness to.

My first time hearing this was back in 2015 when it was first released. I just got out of a mentally abusive relationship and I remember heading home when this song first played in my vehicle.

Great song, great reaction... We all have to go through so much in life, that is why certain songs resonate with us. Tears of joy, tears of pain... tears of love.

You are the best keep the videos coming love your reactions

Sushi you have so much emotion!!!! More feelings than most people and you really are so sincere!!!! The sadness in this video was painful!!!

The actor in the video is Ben Foster. He's a fantastic actor you've likely seen before. He was in 3:10 To Yuma with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. He was also in Lone Survivor with Mark Wahlberg and The Messenger with Woody Harrelson, as well as many other films.

I watched your video's for a little while and i love all kinds of music but only reason i subscribed to you is because i love your reactions...not to mention your beauty is an added pleasant surprise...

Powerful Video! Brought the tears.

your so precious loved this

Chris Stapleton (Sometimes I cry)

2016, three years after loosing my wife to PTSD, she got from being law enforcement, and alcoholism. She barely lived through a DUI crash. People say that’s not “loosing” someone but I disagree. The woman she was is gone forever. This song reminds me every time I hear it. I’m not ashamed to say it gets me every time.

My son sent this to me today and the message was”you and my dad” I watched it and cried and wondered if this is what I have put my husband through the last 29yrs? I left my husband on November 12th and we have been going through hell trying to work things out. He still tells me he’s never going give up on me. Which is what the man in the video did for his wife.

I saw this video at home looking for music by Chris Stapleton about nine months ago and cried like a baby. I have almost lost both of my daughters to suicide so this hit very close to home.

Love your openness to other genras of music. If people in the world were as open and willing to listening to other people's views before judging and condemning, we'd all be better off. Keep up the great work. 👍

Great song but the video is rough as hell! But it brings awareness to a very real issue!!! Great job!! 🤘❤️🤘

As far as I know this is the ONLY song he's EVER done a video for. He wanted a visual to bring awareness to mental health issues...it gutted me the first time I saw it and continues to do so every single time I watch!! Thank y'all for reacting and being real...blessings 👏❤😢

This is the only video he has ever made. Its what he imagines as the hardest situation in which to love someone. Someone who is depressed/manic and suicidal. And being someone who helps and saves people every day but can't help the one he loves. There's a backstory video for this.
