Hits me as a Son. Hits me as a Father. Hits me as solid advice.
I didn’t lisen🤫
@@michaelfoster3513 Never to late son.

Brother…this is the type of music that transcends race, generations, economics, etc. This is music that speaks truth across the realities of life that we all experience no matter where you find yourself on this Earth.
It speaks volumes that a song about living simply is the one that so easily transcends all the complications (race, age, status, etc) that we construct around ourselves. It really shows just how unnecessary all those constructions are. When it comes to living a fulfilling life, none of that matters one bit.
Well said
Only seen to of your videos and want to thank you for having an open mind and a genuine heart.
Yes!!!!! Please let this be truth in the world.
Has he herd or done curtis lowb
This song is known as a “song of the South” but we really aren’t bad people down here. We were taught to respect EVERYONE, until they disrespect you.
When I use the designation Ms. first name, only people from the South understand it’s a form of respect in personal address. Some now are put off, seeking to cram this Ms. into shame for failing to use a correct pronoun. Sad.
@@emmabovary1228 Thanks to the chubby thems and theys
@@emmabovary1228 Ms Emma if my mother had told before she passed I could quite saying yes ma'am and no ma'am, I don't think I could have and now she's gone I will never quit, now that I'm being told to do it, I will never,
I don't give a damn
Why would you say such a thing? Who says we are "bad people down here"? This song beautifully represents southern traditional values. What are you apologizing for?
@@ned_frankly amen brother!!
I don't think enough people realize that hip-hop, R&B, country, and southern rock all come from the same musical tradition. All started from Blues and Jazz.
If Skynyrd’s music doesn’t hit you where you live, you’re living in the wrong place!
Amen!!!!!!!!
Fact
I like that
Great observation
That was deep ... well said
Shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother died and taking some advice Gary Rossington's mothers gave to her son, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them. Rossington came up with a chord progression, and Van Zant wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years. They wrote it in about an hour.
I didn't know that so thanks for the post.
Thanks for this. The best songs write themselves.
Awesome back story. Thanks for that.
Ditto -This song has more than average meaning for this band and many, many others.
Thank you that was cool, R.I.P. to the members lost their life 🙏
My husband used to love this song. He passed away 6 months ago. He dedicated this song to our son and would sing it to him all the time. I played this song at his funeral service. Loved your reaction it is an amazing song.
This and Freebird are two of the most requested funeral songs. RIP Ronnie and sorry for your loss RIP🕊🕊
My sincere condolences to you. Losing the earthly vessel of a love that powerful is painful, and I wish you well.
Rest in Peace to your loved one.
I'm sorry for your loss.
❤
ALL men need a mother like his. I was poor, but my mother was the best thing that ever happened to me. Gracias, a mi mama. RIP
I had a mother like this an I miss her so much even though she's been in heaven for the last 20 years😊
It ALWAYS surprises me when I see people react to music that isn't traditionally to their taste. Music that reaches down, grabs you by the heart and takes you on a journey. Tells you a story. It's timeless and color blind.
That’s what journey the band does
AMEN Brother! As a older fellow, I love when someone finds a song that is timeless. I listen to my dads music, my Grand parents and Older. Music speaks to something deep in our souls. Even now sometimes something new Grabs me and sits me down to LISTEN.
That was beautiful. ❤💯
I'm a 50 year old heavy metal head, but I still yank down soul moving tunes. You can't have one without the other. Love and Peace
It's amazing how our elders give us these words of wisdom, but it doesn't all really hit us until we get older ourselves.
@@randylejeune Yes, but the advice written into the song came from their elders. :)
Well said Mr Adams
We don’t really understand the impact that what our elders teach us until we get to be parents and grandparents. There is no greater wisdom than what we learn thry our own life experiences. We all would be much wiser to listen and take to heart what our elders passed on to us
exactly right :)
Old too fast…… smart too slow….
Love to watch my black brothers feel the soul of Ronnie Van Zant. We’re all one flesh and blood. Peace!
My son recorded himself singing this song, and played it at his wedding reception for our mother-son dance. It was beautiful! 💕
My son in law played this for bride and groom first dance.
That is so beautiful & touching!!
That’s awesome 👏
That's very sweet of him. That's a son that loves and respects his mother.
This was my husband's favorite song. He would sing it so loud and well in the car. It hurts me to listen to it anymore since I lost my beloved husband a year and a half ago. We were married for over 20 years, all listening and hearing him sing it.
Blessings to you especially today! 🙏❤️🎄 You will find each other again ☮️
@@billngold6 Thank you for that💖I too believe we will be reunited one day❤️Holiday blessings to you and yours🎄Have a safe and happy New Year!
So sorry for your loss Sweetie. Beautiful song for a beautiful marriage. ❣
Whenever I thanked my husband for some little thing he did he'd quote "I'm just a simple man", And he inspired our sons with these simple words too.
Awwww so sorry. Must be wrenching.
The words of an impoverished mother specifically in the south. Amazing song.
It hits home.
@@carlasmith1579 indeed it does
Any mother
Lynyrd Skynyrd is legitimately one of the greatest bands of all time. It’s a shame 3 people in their band died in a plane crash including their front man Ronnie Van Zant. Gone way too soon. Their music will always live on tho.
I remember. What talent . . . It's a damn shame. At the very least we all have these treasures to appreciate.
Yeah, imagine what they could’ve created if they didn’t pass
… Steve Gaines… Cassy Gaines… 🙏🏻
Makes you wonder about Satans plan… if you speak for Christ, or Godly advice, you get shut down. In this evil world of course
I spent my 20s in prison. And I've seen so many hardened folk shed tears to the guy in the cell upstairs belting this song
When my son was in High School, I made his a mix CD. This was the first song. When he married, this was our Mother and Son dance song. He listened.
What a great mother/son dance. Brought a tear to my eye.
Beautiful...he listened and you obviously gave him a space to be heard.
Thanks for sharing and God bless you and your family! ❤️
@@jld4870 Thanks for your kind words. Bless your heart.
@@TexasMagnoliabless you and your family too.
My youngest son is getting married next month... I was just thinking of letting this be our dance song...
This was my oldest son’s’ anthem, he passed in an industrial accident 2 1/2 years ago. Listening to it always makes tears come to my eyes!!!!
Reading this now...so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine....💔😪😔
@@sboom1381 Thank You for your kindness, it’s a Parents worse nightmare, but the sincere regrets from everyone helps!
So sorry for your loss. RIP 😿
@@bradr5358 Thank You Brad
I always wanted to tell my son that. I could only sing it to him as a baby. I cry every time I hear this
My mother dedicated this song to me, her only son. I live by this. Even more so after she just passed a month ago
Stay strong brother. Carry her with you always and make her proud.
I'm sorry for your loss.
@@philatio4667 thank you.
I didn’t have any sons. But my girls had only sons. So I dedicate this song to all 4 grandson. My youngest daughter is doing a graduation picture album for her only child which is an only son. She is writing the lines of the lyrics on each page.
God is great. Every breath we take is a gift from our Creator. Everything we have comes from the sacrifice of our Lord Christ.
“The new R&B is not the old R&B.” - Amen.
The truth snuck right out
I'm not aware of any r&b now. It died long ago.
R&B means Rhythm and Blues. They may have plenty of rhythm these days, but the blues are lost. Nothing can replace the classics. RIP Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and Aretha Franklin. ❤️ Is it just me, or does anyone else think that if Billie Holiday was born during the right time, she would be one of the best of all time
yes, but there is amazing music to behold, from 1712... to 2021. if you are looking. IF you can appreciate it ... appreciate history, cultures..
@@shannonbennett987 facts
The world holds up so many shiny objects that they want us to strive for but you will never find happiness and fulfillment in shiny objects
In short, materialistic.
This song was always one of my faves. One day, driving my kids home from school- while this song was on the radio, my oldest, my son, in the backseat, began crying. He was 11? I noticed his reaction. And turned back and said, “what’s wrong?” He said, “I just figured out what this song said…!”
I will never forget that moment.
I just lost my son. Hold on to that forever! God bless.
@@danielryan9076 I'm sorry for you loss brother, take care and hold dear to the moments you had with him! Some day I shall also be blessed with a child of my own.
@@danielryan9076 My heart goes out to you, we WILL all be reunited again with our Love Ones and the Lord! ❤
Amen
I have two sons in their thirties that grew up listening to this, I’d talk to them about the lyrics.
It brings joy to my soul when I hear it on their playlists.
The drummer, Bob Burns, was a friend of mine when I was a younger man in my 20s, at the time, living in Atlanta. He really didn’t realize how much their music touched people. He used to say, “ Man, we were just a bunch of guys playing music in this barn and it was always really hot in there.” Check out The Ballad of Curtis Loew. That’s another one of my favorites.
No one could do it like Ronnie Van Zant. He died tragically in 1977 in a plane crash
You know it! 😥
correct shinedown honored this song very well though
@@streetracer1086 did you know all the members of shutdown grew up around the Van Zant family. Thay played the free Byrd in Jacksonville Beach for years before they hit it big. Also if you notice every song on there 1st album is tied to a Skinned song.
You got that right !
@@jamesmcd71 i did know most of that shinedown are one of my top bands not each song being tied to a skynyrd song though did not know that but im not versed enough in skynyrd to know all their songs
This song transcends generations nice to see younger people discovering real music this is the best of all southern rock bands
I was born in 1979 and this runs thru my veins into all 3 of my boys!!!! Born and Bred this way!!!!
I saw the last concert in 77 before Ronnie, Steve and Cassie got killed in the plane crash.
Southern Fried Rock
@@livinglegend3876 if that plane crash wouldnt of happened it’d be no doubt they would be the greatest group of all time.
No, that would be The Allman Brothers Band
I really appreciate how openly you love your wife and kids. Too many "men" don't express it. The best part of my life is being a father and husband.
"Gimme three steps", "Tuesdays Gone" , "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free bird"
Name one song thats better than the other? Im a HUGE Lenard Skynard fan!
@tac c, gotta have Call Me The Breeze in that list but you've got to see them do it live.
Simple man is the GREATEST song EVER wrote and recorded. NOTHING touches this song it ALWAYS brings a tear to my eye thinking of the GREATEST WOMAN to walk earth MY MOTHER.
Me too!!!
I like "The Breeze" - time to drive!
@@MagesseT1 your going to have to explain why youre ok with the confederate flag to this man.... are you willing to do that? I know I will if asked.
This song was awesome man.
Miss songs like this with real meaning and message
Listening to this on father's day.. Was my father's favorite. He was raised by his mom. The sweetest lady you could have known.
Played this at his funeral 3 years ago. 😭😭😭
@@scrossman27 There’s still tons of songs with meaning like this being made. Unfortunately, you won’t hear them on the radio, but the beauty of the internet is that it’s easier to find new music than it ever was before.
This was very enjoyable watching someone feel "it" from your heart n soul. Thanks for the good vibes and breakdown\ thought's
I know you might not believe it, but the Shinedown cover of this song is even better.
Ronnie Van Zandt was an amazing singer, they said he would sing barefoot so he could feel the energy of the crowd. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the only band I have ever heard that sounds as good live as they do on a record.
I think they sounded better live. First saw them in 1976, and didn't even know who they were. I went to see Ted Nugent. Ronnie came out on the stage barefooted, took a swig of Jack Daniels, put it on the stage by the mic, and introduced the band. They then proceeded to totally blow Ted Nugent out of the water. I was hooked. I was also at their last show in Greenville, SC, in October of 1977. We got the news the next day, and all my friends came to my house to grieve together.
And Billy Powell on that piano.
Donnie is pretty great sounding in person.
38 special, and then went to take his brothers spot as lead singer.
@@RandomParrot Johnny took Ronnie's place not Donnie.
@@mikerobinson938 ok, I won't argue!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is such a soulful band. They get into your soul. I’m a California, Hispanic gal who loves me some Lynyrd Skynyrd ♥️
When I drive my truck & blast this band’s music, I feel invincible. ✌🏼
This is what mothers hope for all of their children.
This was my husband’s song. It was played at his funeral.
He had a very good taste in music, may he Rest In Peace.
He's smiling down.
It's going to be played at mine!!! Together with SRV Life Without You!!!
He told me to tell you he still loves you.no matter what. Always.
😿😿 Rest in Eternal Love
The first time i heard this song i broke down i to tears because everything thats said in this song has been said to me by my mother a million times. This song will stick with me forever.
It's full of the"Spirit", how can you go wrong!!!!!!
Man the first time I truly listened to this song it played during like some senior field day when I was in high-school. One of the first times I can remember a song making me tear up with its meaning and emotion
I was raised by a single mother from the age of 2, and she really held it down the best she could, but man sometimes a young boy just needs someone (a grandmother, a mother, in my case a father) to sit them down and just let them know everything will be alright. It gets easier with time and even though I'm turning 40 in a few months... the song, the words, his voice... it all just hits me a little too hard, I couldn't help but tear up writing this. I learned throughout my years life is hard, it's just hard for everyone. I try to do my best to not make it any harder on myself or for anyone else. I dunno man I guess just love the people who you have in your life, even if it's just a hand on their shoulder... it goes a long way.
@@livefreeprintguns
I loved your comment, especially the part about “even if it’s a hand on the shoulder”.
For some it’s hard to show love so they show it by putting a hand on your shoulder, arm or like my Daddy does when I’m laying with my feet up, he’ll pinch my big toe. I’m 51 now and he still does this, and I can feel it in my heart when he does it.
By the mid-80's I had overdosed on Skynyrd, but HOLY SH*T, they are a great band.
This is my favorite Skynyrd song.
My mother sang this to me as a child. It always held so much meaning for her that I didn't understand or appreciate until I became a father myself. Now, it's one of my own son's favorite bedtime songs. When I told her that I play it for him at night, she cried.
Awe, now im crying too. I also sang this to my son. Its one of our favorites
thats beautiful brother.
Don't make me cry I remember talking to my younger brother about certain subject and he said if you cry right now I'm going to punch you in the face certain things make you cry and this is one of them
And now I’m crying!
My daughter liked "Rainbow Trout" by Gordon Lightfoot. Put her right to sleep!
Ain't no shame in shedding a tear on this one man. Straight pulls on the heart everytime. One love
Truly a song where u can feel the wait of his words
I did shed a tear and watching my young friend enjoy and understand it brought another tear
I sang this song to my son,from the beginning..His lullaby, I would stand and sway him and sang it all the time. He knows this is " his song from me." I'm proud to say my Son grew up into a fine Simple Man.. I often text or call, reminding him,"I LOVE YOU MY SIMPLE MAN ,MONTE "
Thanks, Lynyrd.
They're one of the BEST !!!!
The story of the band is pretty tragic. This is one of their best IMO.
I love your reaction. And you're absolutely spot-on. Many jewels in this one.
I'm an old grumpy white guy (not really grumpy) and I grew up on Lynyrd Skynyrd. I love to see the music of my youth jump the generational and cultural gap. Thank you young people for keeping these classic alive!
I so agree! Van, i love your observations, and thoughtful reactions. I also watch Jojo and LOVED the Larry Bird videos. Poor little guy, he wants so badly for Lebron to be better than Larry. Hold on to your dreams! Lol.
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times, before and after the plane crash. When I saw this song live, I was teary-eyed, and had goosebumps. I sing this song to my boys, my oldest is 42 and I still sing it too him. I am glad to see younger generations enjoy the music that I grew up on. Great reaction my man!
Same❤️
I saw them in Salt Lake City in 1977. It was amazing! I’ll never forget “Free Bird” live…
I too have seen them multiple times,twice before the plane crash and at least four times since. I recently saw them a few weeks ago with my 27 year old daughter in Indy excellent show. The best part was hearing her sing along with all the songs. There is hope for the younger generations.
He is listening from Heaven and I’m sure he appreciates your kind words.
There's no such thing as a bad Lynyrd Skynyrd song 🔥🤘💜
Facts
No Truer Words have Ever been Spoken, Ma'am!!! This kinda dates me, but I saw the Original (and ONLY) Lynyrd Skynyrd 6 times. Would have been 7 but for a plane crash. Met several members of the band at a bar on PCB, FLA ohh so long ago.......nice folks.....about 6 months before the crash.
Yeah there is. Freebird. Always hated that song and hated it even more listening to live music and some yahoo screams out FREEBIRD. Give me a break. But do like this song and Sweet Home Alabama.
@@s.e.6616 admit it. You don’t like Freebird because at every concert of any genre you have at least three assholes screaming “FREEBIRD”. It’s popular to hate that song, but in actuality it’s one of the greatest songs ever written.
@@geetar82 you are absolutely correct. That is what made me hate that song to this day, but I still think there's better regardless. 🤣
Lot of times we don't appreciate this kind of advice until we are older. No one wants to hear this when they are 17 and they feel the world is about to become theirs.
I first heard this when I was 17 and I found the truth in it back then. I was always told that I had an “old soul”, but now that I’m pushing 50, everyone now tells me that I live like a younger man. And I have pretty much lived this song for all those years; lot of happiness and sadness over all those intervening years, but I wouldn’t trade any of it.
And unfortunately sometimes you hear something clearer when there is nobody around to say it anymore
that was me exactly....
I told my son this was my song to him, be a simple man, my only son. This song gets to me every time I hear it. What wonderful words to live by.
When I was a kid I had a Jeep and my dad put a tape with that song on so when I turn the car on it played. Best Dad ever!
When my son was just a little thing, I sang this to him every night before bed. He's now 35 & this is still our song, only now he always dances with me to it as I sing it to him.
We have the same story my son is 30 now...they were playing this at a wedding we were at when he was 17 and he grabbed me to dance and at the end we noticed everybody was crying it's one of the sweetest moments I will always cherish...
All that you need is in your soul. More sage advise could not be given
...you misspelled "ignorant"...please go get your Nobel Prize if you can prove that souls exist...or any afterlife for that matter...

Lynyrd Skynyrd is America's greatest rock and roll band. They are a national treasure. (period)
You don't have to lie to kick it. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. My mom passed away in 2019. When I'm not having such a good day this song seems to find my playlist. Have a blessed day everybody.
I lost my Mom this past September , and right now this feels like it was sent to me from my Mom up in Heaven - Thank You , my Brother ❤️❤️❤️
Lost my mom 2 years ago and sometimes it still doesn't feel real. We used to text everyday & I still have all her msgs & voicemails. May you find peace & comfort in the memories & hold them close to your heart. Hugs & love to you 💓
May you see you Mother in Heaven one day Mike. In the name of Jesus Yeshua the Christ. Amen.
@@scarletjohnston741 May you also see your Mother in Heaven. Praise be to Yah almighty! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
My mother has been in the ground for 15 years last Dec. 7th. It never gets better, but it does get easier.
So sorry for your loss. You will be together again in heaven. Blessings
If more people would just follow the advice of Skynrd’s songs this world would be so much better and a lot less hatred
Amen!
Amen , bro
I printed the lyrics and found a Bible verse for every line in the song. I laminated it and gave it to my son when he left for the Navy. It's been my ringtone for him ever since.
Your guardian did a good job.
Seriously you are a good man.
I discovered this band in 1998 while digging through my dad's 8 tracks. I was obsessed, and then so devastated to learn of the plane crash.
I was alive when the plane crashed and to this day I am still affected by it i was a huge skynyrd fan 💔 I am glad that a younger generation gets to appreciate this music
I was lucky enough to see them on August 27th 1977 Anaheim Stadium California. 5 weeks or so before the plane crash. Been a fan ever since.
My father found them playing in a bar in Atlanta before they were big. Ended up as sound tech for them. The story he tells still blow me away.
@@al1087 wow so lucky!!
@@al1087 I’ve heard some stories over the years I’ve always loved them and this is my song to my son and has been for his 32 years of life
I make sure all 3 of my sons hear this song regularly so they think of me one day when they hear it. ❤️ This OG version, but the Shinedown one is great too!
That’s the first thing I thought of too! But, I’m a big (old only) Shinedown fan. NOTTTT what they’ve got going on these days with the 2nd pair of guitarists, etc….😜 (BUT, I respect other people’s choices and tastes too- just not for me!) I’m good with the original crew!😉
TAKE CARE ❣️
Said the same shinedowns version hits different
I did the same with mine and they are salt of the earth good young men!
I'll say this. As far back as I can remember whenever this song would play my mom would say this is her song to me. To this day she still says it. I'm 32 now and this song can't play without me thinking of my mom and the advice the lyrics hold.
It is good advice and in many ways I can see how it has influenced my life and my decisions. Especially when I finally grew up enough to forget I already knew everything. I've been incredibly blessed in my career and life and have probably lost sight of that wisdom at times, but I've hit bottom a few times and had to rebuild too. And those times are when these lyrics really hit home.
What !! There's a remake of this great classic! Had no idea !
dude southern rock is about emotional understanding of life its ok to cry
I know. I cry. Every . Single. Time...
This song is the essence of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Thank you for recognizing the simplicity of lifestyle promulgated by this song. If we all just lived this way, huh?
Southern music is mostly about the basics of life and living
Have you heard the song of the same title by Bad Company? Theyre British but I think they captured southern life perfectly
Saw em at Knebworth. Astonishing, easy rapportwith crowd, and they rocked.A++.
@@nickypoundtown9568 I saw _Bad Company_ at the Reno Rib Cook off in 2012 I think. Great show!
Also I saw _Lynyrd Skynyrd_ at what was then called the Reno Hilton back in like 1994. Zakk Wilde's band _Pride and Glory_ opened with a _Ted Nugent_ sandwich in the middle. THAT whole show was amazing!
Say it Jeff!
not really, skynrd has a lot of songs about weird stuff
Sometimes a song comes down the pipe that resonates so deep in your soul that it can cause Tears of pain or comfort and happiness
It brings joy to my heart to see someone in a younger generation discover Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This is the kind of music that when you listen to it so does the neighborhood.
I'm an old rocker from the 60s, much respect for sharing your perspective of my favorite song young man. Live long, be happy, and keep the faith.
You made me think of Bob Marley and his rendition of "Don't Worry, Be Happy". ✌️
@@JohnSmith-ft2tw Bob Marley last words in front of a camera "listen to that voice in your head " amazing wisdom !
This took me back.... I saw LS at least 5 times here in Alabama.... I knew all the words to every song... when the plane crashed & Ronnie and the others died it just broke my heart. Glad you reacted!
Yes, I am always also amazed and fascinated that a Florida band would write a song called Sweet Home Alabama, that would never happen here in Australia between different states!
Ronnie Van Zant was the best singer-songwriter God ever slung guts into!! But God is a jealous God and took him away from us 44 years ago, but turn your radio on he still here!!! God bless Ronnie Van Zant and Gary rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd
You are doing such an awesome job of letting everyone know that we as Americans are the same and have so much more in common than the media and our government want us to believe! Keep it going!!

It's OK my friend 😉
Love your reaction my friend

Keep the good work ✌
Love colder weather by them💙💙💙💙💙
Every time I hear this song I get Childs man. The message of this song is so POWERFUL and SIMPLE.
My son and I always dance to this. This is my song for my son. I had 3 children but God decided he needed my baby boy and my daughter back 3 1/2 yrs ago. My son that is still with me knows if this comes on we are dancing. 😁 Besides the fact these are my home boys. I lived on Brick yard road around the corner from Ronnie Van Zants home where he lived when he died.
My Daddy was a Simple Man and he passed his absolute love for Skynyrd down to me. Even though I cry every time I hear any of their music because I miss my father, I listen to honor his memory.
This song played such a role in my life.
Thank You for bringing people together LFR Family. You are what our Country needs.
The advice in the song were actual things told by their mother, grandmother. Very wise indeed
I love how you enjoyed this song. I appreciate how you opened up and shared part of your life. It’s a beautiful song and wonderful reaction. My allergies act up a lot, too.
To this day, lyrically, still one of the most relevant songs ever written in any genre of music.
Had this talk with my son before he left for boot camp in 2007. A short time later, he played me this song. He was amazed that my words to him were in a song. I only wanted him to take something with him that no one could take away.
“My allergies..” ain’t no shame in shedding a tear to simple man my guy 👊🏻
The singer is Ronnie VanZant he died in a plane crash in 1977 along with 5 others Cassie and Steve Gaines (brother,sister) 2 pilots and a manager of the band
"All I want for you my son, is to be satisfied." Best two meaning line in all of rock music.
My daughter dedicated this song to her son when she was pregnant with him, so I can’t hear it without thinking of my precious grandson, I call it Wyatt’s song.
Old rock, old blues, old soul, old country....share it all with your kids.~:>
This was gonna be me and mom's 1st dance song at my wedding. She passed away before I got married so me and my sister danced to it. LOVE YOU MOM
As soon as the music starts the chills hit. Every time I hear this song. Perfection in artistry
I don't know what part of the country you live in, but this is the BEST that Southern Rock had to offer!! Sadly, the lead singer and lead guitarist died in a plane crash in 1977.
I was shocked to see 30,000 people crying during this tune at their concert. RIP😢😢😢
As a mother of two sons, this song is close to my heart. The cover by Shinedown is beautiful too.
Imo its better than the o.g. version. And I love l.s. but this song is sung so much more passionately by shinedown/brett.
One Jacksonville band paying tribute to THE Jacksonville band. Love both versions.
I enjoyed the Shinedown cover, but Ronnie’s version is a lullaby 😎
No. This version is the GOAT
Shinedown's cover is ok. I can also say the vocalist is technically better but, Ronnie's vocals fit this tune better. I still prefer this version hands down.
Honor your parents. It does not say you have to like or love them. Though that would be " nice". God's promise is a good, long life. This song "simple man" is a great lesson why. How to "live" life, based on the wisdom and experience of our elders. Wow! Cheesy but true. Smarts. Soul.
These lyrics are a masterpiece.
I danced with my mom at me and my wife’s wedding to this song. One of my all time favorite songs, gets my allergies actin up every time I hear it.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written
So Sad About The 70’s Plane Crash That Killed Some
Of Them As Well As The Lead Singer🕊🕊🙏🏽🕊🕊😪
I'm 63 I was 17 when this was released and I still cry dude. Great band . thanks for the memories!
When I was 12 my mom passed from cancer. When I got older I realized she must have liked this song because before she passed she had this same conversation with me. It took me years to grow up and realize it was from a song.
You know a plane crash killed most of the band. They are named after one of their school teachers. RIP.
I started playing this song for my son when he was just a baby. He’s 22 now and listened to the words and lives this very way. And plays this song all the time. Stay blessed 🙏🙏
Same here, my son is also 22. We sing it together now💞💞. Precious
I was like 16 when I first heard this and it changed the way I saw life forever, for the better. Hands down, one of my favorite Skynyrd songs and one of my favorite overall.
LS were down to earth Southern Americans! Loved them then, still love them today! Gone too soon! 😢❤
i danced with my mother at my wedding to this song.
Love that 💕
