The song is about commitment and how it takes unconditional love to support someone struggling with depression. Commitment isn&#8217;t easy in the situation, as they let the partner &#8220;fire away&#8221; their frustrations at them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Honey, load up your questions \/ And pick up your sticks and your stones \/ And pretend I&#8217;m a shelter<br>For heartaches that don&#8217;t have a home \/ Choose the words that cut like a razor \/ And all that I&#8217;ll say is fire away&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song&#8217;s music video highlighted mental health awareness and features a husband grappling with his wife&#8217;s depression. Self-harm is involved in the video, as Stapleton promoted The Campaign To Change Direction, a mental health organization. Together, Stapleton and the organization brought attention to mental health awareness with the video&#8217;s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How The Song Took On New Meaning With The Music Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yyeTiJLt9R8\" id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yyeTiJLt9R8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">behind-the-scenes interview for the music video<\/a>, Stapleton explained, &#8220;It just came in my head as something to do. The song is kind of about loving somebody unconditionally through not-so-easy times, and the concept of the video kind of came to me as, that would be the hardest possible space in which to love somebody.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song&#8217;s music video gave the song new life, as it took on a new meaning. Stapleton&#8217;s record label wanted a music video to promote his debut release. In the interview, Stapleton states, &#8220;I was putting it off. Finally, they kept asking enough, and I just spouted out basically the treatment for this video, and everybody just looked at me like I had three heads. Like, it was the craziest thing. I didn&#8217;t want to be in the video; I wanted to make it about this uncomfortable subject. And I wanted to get real actors and not spend a lot of time making it a promo for me. That was how I wanted to make a video because I felt like that was more artful and meaningful on the back end.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Rick Diamond\/Getty Images for CMT<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A decade ago, Chris Stapleton&#8216;s Grammy Award-winning debut album put him on the map.
