This video brings awareness to the subject of mental illness , and the need to ask for help , don't be ashamed to ask , it might save your life , or someone you love.

I want to leave a comment, but I'm having such a difficult time expressing how moved I am. I watched the video and it blew me away. This "Making Of' is a fantastic idea to give to us fans. Thank you Chris.

Abram Porras YES!!! He really is.

If I ever get to meet you, I will cry a lot, shake your hand, and thank you for putting this uncomfortable, unexplainable disorder out there. We are always looking for ways to explain our behavior and our disorder to the 'non afflicted' until someone 'finally gets it'. You've shown both sides, the afflicted and those affected by our mental illness (in my case Bipolar 1 Disorder with rage) perfectly, painfully, and beautifully. Mental illness is so hard to diagnose and treat that we give up. We lose hope of ever being 'normal'. When you lose hope, you lose everything. Without the hope of getting better, why fight to live? At the highest of our highs, the world is ours, we can fly, we are invincible. At the lowest of our lows, we have tunnel vision and can only see one way out. It's not a choice. We don't want to die. We just don't want to live like this. After facing Hell head on, I admitted myself (for the 3rd time) and finally found my hope. I've been stable for 2.5 years now. I'm one of the lucky ones who found the right treatment. My heart breaks for those who don't find their hope.

You explained that so vividly, thank you. I'm an undiagnosed bipolar person, I know I am depressed, but now it's just like you said...the highest highs & lows that are a nightmare. I hope you're okay friend & you're not alone! Much love, Stephanie

This guy is definitely heaven sent. He's making a difference and he doesn't even know it!

I'm just lost for words. God surely is working through, and with this man. My son committed suicide at 26, and my baby brother at 37. In that moment I know they just wanted the pain to stop, but not to die. God bless any family that has been touched by the horrible disease of depression. It's more that some can bare. Thank you Chris Stapleton. God bless you.

Love his humble approach. He didn’t mean to make a video that would invoke so much emotion and touch on a sensitive topic but he did. It turned out amazing and it has a great message

Agreed. This song hit me like a truck the first time I heard it, because of who I was dating at the time.

Thank you Chris for making a song that dealt with mental health and relationships.... becuase these situations are real.......

Such a heartbreaking subject that had never crossed my mind while listening to the song. I was speechless the first time I saw the video.

As someone who has bipolar disorder, this song gives me a bittersweet hope in a way

There is always hope. There is always a new way to look thru old lenses. Suzanne Garner on fb. Hit me up if hope takes flight or if you just want a place to dump. I will listen.

I just came across the video for Fire Away today and have listened to it ALL DAY. I've been watching reactors react to it... many of them brought to tears. Chris says all he brought was a notion. The heart & soul in your voice is FAR MORE than just a notion, darling. The video is heartbreaking & heartwarming at the same time. What a piece of art. Immediately downloaded this song to my playlist.

It took an article in the Washington Post to find this song. I've suffered for 15 years Oct. 10, 2005, from PTSD, TBI, severe depression and so many other things I can't even explain. Yet, in one video- it tells the story of how my fiance deals with the daily struggles of depression, ups and downs we struggle with. In one video- it showed how isolated one person can feel. In one video- it shows how desperate two people can suffer.

You are truly a vessel from the LORD. This video has demonstrated the battles and on-going war with mental health like no other. When tough, grown men cry watching it, you know it’s true. We are at war with our own souls - we sometimes win battles, though. Thank God for the right doctor and medications to quiet the ghosts in my mind.

Oh how I wish I could Meet Chris. I could never thank him enough for his music he has released especially this song and video. I've struggled with suicidal depression most of my life. This hits home on so many levels and so hard to watch. I ugly cry so hard everytime I hear and see this song. I'm so grateful he threw out this notion and this video is here. Feels like we have an ally I wish I had in my family.

My dad was successful. Wish he'd known the pain he'd leave us in...but I also understand how much pain he was in; having just lost my mom and his wife of 40 years the day before he took his own life. 💔💔 it'll be 5 years on Christmas day.

As a person who has attempted once as a teen and a few years ago after my last kid left for college and dealing with mental illness my whole life compacted with the loss of my youngest son. Then the loss of my mother to suicide. This song hits home and then some. On this side of the spectrum being the one who is bipolar. Some people will never truly understand, it's hard to even understand myself sometimes. One thing I do know is people like myself are very difficult to love or feel loved. Btw I am someone who never comments on anything. First time ever on here. It's so hard to watch the effects on others when I go through my lows.

Your comment is 3 years old so sorry for being late but I had to write something. I know life sucks most of the times, I have some issues sometimes too but just try to think about the ones that love you first. It's not easy but at the same time it's not that hard too. You said you lost your mother to suicide, so you know what it is to live something like that, and I'm sure you wouldn't like to know that your own kids go through that too. I hope you're doing fine right now, take care Marquitta. See you soon.

Notions, it's what life is all about. Some we ignore, some we toy with, some turn into life changing events. Never ignore your notions.

So true, i personally went through it, now over 35 years ago, to see it happen, it still lives in me. Time doesn't stop all grief and sorrow

WOW, just WOW. I've loved this song for years, first time seeing this video. The actual video of the song is probably one of the best "music videos" EVER, I don't need to explain why, you are all here for the same reason of, what a great song. I will say though, if you have a good song, manage to get good actors and a good director/producer, what can go wrong.

We lost a bipolar son due in part to our lack of understanding of the disease. Thank you Chris.

Music has been a saving grace for so many! Today this song was mine.✨✨✨

On behalf on what`s left of me and my family ...thank you! Whether you set out to touch someone or not, and regardless of your initial intent, your music touches people in ways you can`t possibly anticipate. This one really hits home for me specifically, and it`s my hope that maybe ...just maybe it gives a moment of pause to those who may be considering suicide as a possible way out. Regardless of your personal identity and circumstances, you are a gift to someone! KEEP FIGHTING ...KEEP FIGHTING FOR YOURSELF OBVIOUSLY, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE YOU`LL LEAVE BEHIND! For all those involved in this video, thank you! Chris I`m sorry to say that until roughly a year ago I didn`t even know your name, which is probably just the way you like it. You don`t strike me as a needing or wanting the limelight type of guy. Well I damn sure know you and your music now ...and it`s become a treasured gift! May God hold you and yours in the palm of his hand always!Your Friend always, Drew

A year ago I didn't know who this man was. This song and video introduced me to your music, what a glorious day...you broke my soul, but yeah glorious! What a legend of a singer, songwriter, and human being.

as a person who struggles with this and mental illness, thank you!

He is just so humble.

this man is a great singer and musician in the best sense of the word - almost all of of his sons touches or souls

I first heard the acoustic version & it had me balling thinking... love someone no matter what? Yea right “it’s a country song” then I saw the video & it made it more beautiful & more real

I’m a 61 year old man and my eyes water EVERY TIME I hear it! A beautiful and powerful song!

I can’t even with how amazingly flawless Chris is. Unreal!

Thank y'all for putting this issue out there!!! As someone who suffers both severe anxiety and depression this really struck home for me!! Thankfully I was blessed with an amazing doctor and family who support me unconditionally...I don't think I could EVER take the path shown in the video. I've seen the affect it has on those left behind by people I know who have committed suicide...it's crushing. Thanks again for putting this issue front and center to draw awareness of mental illness!!!

We matter you matter and I matter. Thank you. My mom mattered. 😢

This man is truly heaven sent.

Ben speaks of "false truths" that one can "adopt". That is not always the case. As a survivor of more than one failed attempt, I've lived with the effects, or lack there of, on the lives of those around me. Not only does the failure give some a feeling of "I can't even do that right", but in some cases, it highlights a deficit of friends, family, etc. in the aftermath. Clearly that is not the message in this beautiful video, but it should be considered in discussions about people that try or do take their own lives.

Being a retired law enforcement officer and dealing with matters of this sort way too many times, I must say that this video pretty much nailed it.

…there are no words for this video (in my opinion) …I connect in so many ways…it’s crazy. This is SUCH A Beautiful song. ❤️

the most beautiful song ever.. I hope to hear chris's music forever.. best of all times.. best out there.. luv it

Whenever we are in darkness of any kind, we cannot see properly.

Loved this!! One of my fave actors and one of my top 5 singers of all time!! I am a professional singer, and I have went through Anxiety and Depression my whole life... I have had my darkest moments and had to seek help at my lowest!! That’s the one thing that always brought me back.. ‘the people I’d affect if I was gone’ so I can relate so much! This was so nice to watch... please everyone support Mental Health!!! ❤️

A Great Job with a great song! Thank you Chris for making this song and, video! It is very much needed!

I listened to this song for years before seeing the video.. and thought the whole time it was about a man who is in a relationship with a woman who doesn’t love him or is abusive towards him. It’s amazing how a song can mean so many different things just based on how you’re thinking about it

Been living this situation for several years. This song really helps me through the tough times. The video scares me, yet I'm still here being that shelter. We are all connected.

His hair is straight up beautiful

For me ... I just wanted the pain to stop. I didn't want to have to face what I had been through. And I didn't think that I was worth others loving me. I have come so far. Its been 20 years since the first attempt. But I now have a healthier mindset. I till struggle with my depression and anxiety, but I have ways of coping now. And a husband and son who ground me.

Chris is by far, one of my favorite artists.. he moves me in ways no other can. i can relate to this video so hard.. keep up the amazing work!

i would like to say thank you for this video. it is a topic that needs to be discussed. I have learned first hand what it can do to a family and the pain left behind.

Thank you Chris this touched my heart

I'm a 2x suicide survivor , I've been fighting for 8 years now . This song tugs the heart strings . Thank you Chris !

Most powerful video I’ve ever seen!!!

I'm 45, and this Song hits way too close to home for me...😥 As someone who has survived 3 suicide attempts (the 1st time that I survived, I was actually angry at my husband for days), with my husband of 25 years, finding me in comas twice, he's saved my life, many times, and is still trying to help me fight my inner demons..I know it is so hard for him, and our 3 adult children...I've been living with chronic pain for over 20 years, lost my leg; from a Strep A infection in my foot, had 13 abdominal surgeries, among others (25 total & almost died too many times to count), and with all of my pain, diseases, disabilities (I'm unable to wear a prosthetic, so I'll never walk again), having CPTSD, anxiety, and chronic depression, I do get the strong beliefs of worthlessness, being a burden on my family, and feeling that everyone will be better off without my problems...Even though they're always telling me the opposite. It continues to get worse since I lost my leg, I have no freedom anymore since I can't drive myself anywhere, because I can't afford a vehicle for me to get into with my wheelchair by myself, so I must rely on others to even get to a doctor's appointment, or even a store...so I feel more helpless, trapped, and depressed... When I start sinking, my mind goes to a place where I'm unable to remember how they feel, and I only believe in the lies that my mind is telling me...💔😢🙏 I don't want to hurt my husband, or children, they're all very protective of me, are always checking in on me, they take all precautions, and make sure that I'm safe from myself. They will even try to discreetly look for burns/cuts, and if they do, they will never get mad at me, but gently talk with me in private, to try to find out what is wrong at that time, and my Boy's always remind to call them at anytime (day/night/@ work), to try to help me (Great Mama's Boy's)...and my Hubby does even more, and tries to lock up anything that I can seriously hurt myself on, takes time off work, and will stay up all night, talking, or watching me sleep. I'm very blessed to have such wonderful men in my life💙 (I'm truly blessed with my daughter, but she has mental disabilities, and will always have the mind of a child👼), I love my family, more than anything❣ 🥰💖 My husband is my biggest rock, I know I would have missed out on very special occasions with my kids, he's so gentle, and loving to me, takes it when I lose myself, and holds me tight when I cry, even with him not fully understanding what's going on inside of me, and he's the only person I can trust, when I'm feeling suicidal...I want to grow old with him, I just scare myself when I get so bad, and it doesn't matter if I'm going through therapy (I've tried it even under care). My husband is my biggest lifeline, second are my 2 son's. (Sorry for being so long) For anyone going through anything like this, please let others know, and help you...The pain we will leave in our wake, will be Horrific, and not something that you would want to go through yourselves...Confide In Someone, And Remember There's Always Help Somewhere❣✝️🤲🙏💪💝✌ THANK YOU, CHRIS STAPLETON, This Message Is So Important, Mental Health Is A Very Hard Disease To Fight...🙏❤✌

Beautiful song beautiful video

Love this story

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiireaway

this song just brought so much memories

I relate so much to this song/video. I just hope my ending is different.

The first time I seen the fire away video I told a friend next to me. When an addict wants to die you can't really know how to help them. I found out that night my best friend of 20 years passed away due to a drug overdose. Two years later almost to the day my little sister passed away the same way. This song has a lot of power to make people feel like some one is telling there life story.

This song hits home for me. I am a police officer, and my wife struggles with manic depression. It is a hard thing to deal with, but at the end of the day you will always be there for them. Seeing this video is almost like looking in a mirror. Thank you Chris Stapleton for such a moving song and a heartfelt video.

The statement about not being able to police his own home hits home... My husband, a county deputy, is struggling with our niece taking her life back in June. He has said on more than one occasion that he should have known or seen it coming or been able to do something for her. Breaks my heart.

I had no idea what went into the song and the video. Excellente - Bravo!

The songs are always from the heart . That's how you move people . That's how we are so drawn in to you . This subject is not spoken about enough . With the again, heart you have and ideas to do something to help others with your talent I have to say you sir will have a first class ticket someday God is so proud of you. So am I you took your gift and used it to help people and that is exactly what we are told to do. I can't ever begin to find the words to say thank you for making the songs for us. They help is cope they help us smile they help us look with in and help us to appreciate what we have . Blessings my friend much love to all of you and thank you for being you!! It truly is a precious gift from God through you.xoxo🙏😇

Love the song, felt haunted by the video. But it did something no other music video I’ve ever watched did, it made me think about something I know little to nothing about, and then to research it. In that regard, this is a very special video and I thank Chris and the cast for presenting it so many can learn from it. Well done!

It doesn’t matter how much you love someone if they want to go you can’t stop them.

My husband and I have been 'rescuing' our 43 year old son since the day he turned two when things seemed to change. Got really bad when he was a teenager. Medication - that was suppose to keep him stable, and control the ups and downs, caused a bad reaction and I had one of his friends help me get him to the ER. I didn't like he won't take anything now. He says he prefers to "feel" rather than feel numb. But his ups are not consistent enough and the downs are not very good days, thankfully he is intelligent, lives on his own now, not being able to see him or hear from him for long periods of time does not make it easy for me to get a good nights sleep for YEARS!, and now, at my age of 72 I worry and struggle daily. I am on pins and needles waiting for that phone call or knock on the door. It's hard, very hard. I hope he will outlive us, but again not sure he will.

This song is meeting full at times in a crazy time in my life and there so good friends that keep me going

In addition to thanking Chris for this song, I want to thank the actors who put themselves in this dark place and poured their heart and soul into portraying these characters.

Thank you for your notion. Beautiful song and video. 🙏🏻❤️

Chris Stapleton is absolutely incredible talented singer songwriter and guitarist and I absolutely love Ben Foster he’s incredible actor 🎵🎼🎶🖤🖤

I love you Chris and Morgan. You both are exceptional people. I have to say that the only reason I'm still here is because I haven't had the nerve to end it yet. I've lived in my hell for alot of years. I keep hoping I find the strength to live in it a few more. Maybe if I can get through day by day I will. Anyway, God bless you all.

Chris, I really enjoy listening to your music. I love your voice. You've got me listening to country music, and guess what, I like it🙏

Incredible song, moving mini-movie of a video. Very smart stuff. Thank you for posting this.

Love the song love the video I actually found it sitting in my car with my pistol and then the video came on and I watch it mental health is real and it's painful it sucks the fight right out of you idk to anyone feeling like this please reach out to law enforcement or even me thru here lord knows I know

Love you Chris!

Many years ago I went through a terrible time in my life. I found myself with a loaded gun under my chin. I couldn't pull the trigger only because I didn't want my children growing up knowing their father was weak. So when I heard this song and watched this video a few years after my experience, needless to say it hit me hard. I'm so grateful now that I'm still here.

If you don't follow country music you would think that this song just came out last week because this is like the number one trending video around the world when it comes to video reactions and I mean everybody of all skin tones are shutting the video off at the end in tears men and women that's how big this video is

I'm going to see Chris and Hank jr. in August!

Country is not country anymore. But Chris can bring it back like he doing. Great singer. Country to fast and like R&B. Please people lets get back to real country. Keep up great work and see another great song from ya

Love your music. Amazing!

Wow. These people are very thoughtful humans. It's 2021 and this nation is so divided. So many angry people. I feel a little bit of hope now.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I lost my fiance to suicide almost 4 years ago and this video, I felt spoke directly to me. Every line. I felt like this is how I have taken my life after his death, fire away for I have felt the worst pain already. Thank you for allowing me to not feel so alone in this thought. Loved the video and the awareness to others. This maybe uneasy for some, but this does happen and there are those that have been through it. Thank you again.

This is my story w a diff ending ❤️

This video means so much to many of us Thank you chris ❤️

I'm a new fan of Ben Foster. Thanks. ;)

The “guy” on Chris’ left, IS already a famous actor (Ben Foster) who stars in “ Hell or High Water” in which Stapleton has a cameo the Bartender. Awesome movie!

A child or a father and friend we have to be with them.

I feel like it was, showing you can save a person... but saving them doesn't fix them. If you don't fix them you don't actually save them.

Thank you for your music Chris all the way from Australia.

This is an amazing video. I love the explanation in this of the actor saying that it’s the person just wanting the pain to stop!!!!! That’s it!!!

Margarita..... you did amazing.

Thanks for bringing this front and center. Suicide is epidemic. There is an answer. If someone needs help, #TextCrisisLine.

Wow this video remind me of myself cause there are time's I till my friends and others about just ending my life cause my kids don't want noting to do with me and I fill that no loves or care's about me and there are times that I want to cause my sister gat killed 2 weeks before my birthday I turned 32 now I'm 54 my dad died when I was 16 teen and my mo died in 2001 and had people Teat me like shit and now my boyfriend family don't want me around after being with hem fore 7 year will I don't what else to say love the song fire away god bless

Chris Stapleton is the best artist in the world. Suicide nots a good thing to think about like. I thought of suicide multiple times and I realized that there's to many people who love more people than I thought

Love this song

absolutely love this video and song

This is a masterpiece for suicide awareness! This is so dear to me but yet it just kills my soul. If you don’t have a mental health condition you will never understand!
