To everyone enjoying the song and the awkward, silly, demented and maybe slightly poor taste annotations, rock on! It's fun to hop on here every 8 or so months, to remember life at a more simpler time. If the annotations really bother you, you have every right to turn them off. I keep them on, because... Well... I miss my brother. He passed away this past October. It's one of the few things him and I worked on together, so I'd like to have our silly/stupid humor remain on the video. I hope you can overlook that. Thank you. - Dan
I don't care about the annotations, Dan. It just describes the kind of happy person you are. Ignore the rests, they are pathetic and a bunch of bullies with no life probably. And I feel sorry for you brother`s life, dude, continue to rock on!!! :)
I feel you man when I made a lyric video of this song it was with my cousin and well ....... He past away last month and I keep the song to remember what me and him did ....... Btw do you got Facebook or Twitter? Cause I really wanna follow you after that comment
my dad recently died on November 23rd, 2013. im going to be playing this song at his funeral. it was always one of his favorites! hah! i can just see him playing air guitar now! :) love u daddy.
I hear this song and it reminds me of a good friend of mine who passed away a while back. He had this played at his funeral, this was his favorite song. R.I.P Jarrod Bracken. Miss ya man.
+Tarah Horan It reminds me of my Grandpa he was a really good guitar player he always played this song and this was played at his funeral I feel you guys to
+Dragaan People have a strong emotional attachment to songs that stem from memories, especially death. So stop being a callous, abrasive ass, and leave.
My dad passed away when was very little. Lynyrd Skynyrd was his favorite band so when ever I hear this song I think of him. At first I'm sad and tear up, then after listening to it I feel like he would be "speaking" through the lyrics in a sense. That it was was his time to go and that I shouldn't dwell on his passing. It helps me cope. RIP Robert "Boots" MacLean
This song was played at my dad's funeral and every time I hear it I think of him and it brings back to all of the wonderful memories we had. My daddy is now a Free Bird, fly high daddy
I'm 52 now and remember dancing in our gym with a live band singing this, oh how I wish my 25 and 27 year old children could have lived this...they have missed out!! Our culture has so gone in the wrong direction, let's get back to our roots people!!!
Dedicated to my daughter Jennifer Lynn Slasten Rundle: My baby girl that left this earth way to soon. I will always love and miss you. Mommy! 9/25/1994-8/15/2014
These kinds of songs make me tear up to be honest. I was born in 2000 but wish I was born in '69. I feel like the 80's were such a better time, especially where I live, in the south. Everyone was more friendly, political correctness wasnt a huge fucking deal, cops werent assholes, and you could ride your bike to your friends house 3 miles away in the dark without getting mugged and/or shot. I wish it was back then. :'(
It's a very........ long time since I've listened to this song, and I must say I am totally and pleasantly surprised by the experience I just had by hearing "Freebird" again! The guitar solo is insanely awesome! May Steve Gaines (Lead Guitarist), Ronnie Van Zant (Vocalist) and Cassie Gaines (Vocalist) all RIP - they are well missed.
Love all the wonderful memories of the spring in life when this song came out. Thank you Lord for your many blessings. When I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd In Charlotte, NC back in '74, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life! (They played with ZZ Top at that outdoor concert!)
I liked the annotations in the video and honestly, I'm feeling so attacked right now. (It's a meme of sorts for those who don't know so don't take this seriously)
I like the demented annotations, and you have outstanding taste! THIS is why the youngsters today who like current music need to understand WE grew up with REAL music. NOTHING on the charts in 2023 can come close to any of this. We were spoiled. If we knew how shiddy music would be today, we would have appreciated it more then.
JuSt twO Amazing Brother's, havin' fun when they made their 1st VideO,... Some will never have the love Of a brother ...And will never have the Awesome Memories... rOCk'On! I am happy they have a ♥Lifetime Of \m/rOCk'n~rOll\m/♥ PeaCelOVEfAith ShelleBelle
Since you told me what you did, I'll tell you what I did today... I went to work, I pooped and hopped on this channel since it's been 7 months... ._. Anyone else?
borrowedtoe You said you didn't like the annotations ^^^ I was just saying, cuz I don't usually watch the videos. I just put them on and listen. Sorry, I was just being silly. It came out wrong :)
GTA SA was indeed the best in the franchise.. this game had unique atmosphere plus all the best music hits were included.. this solo always makes me rock out like hell!
GTA San Andreas!!!!!!!! I got attached to my Hydra flying it to this song. Then I lost it in blue hell under Doherty, San Fierro. Oh well. It always turns up in that hangar in the aircraft graveyard in Bone County.
I truly love it just the way it is!! 2 15yr old bro's did this and I think it is awesome that they are even listening to our good ole baby boomer music! The BEST music of all time. Just my opinion... Peace all.
+Akib Imtiaz iam man iam just 17 and i love the past that i never lived in go AC/DC, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kiss, Journey, Foreigner, Aerosmith and many more ....... theres to many to list :) ............ Rock on and Live Life
Caleb Carrigan youre looking for affirmation confidence and kinship. even though, as a man-to-be you shouldnt need to, there are always friends and kindred spirits that will tell you, that YOU DONT NEED affirmations. why? because trust me, at the end of it, at the core of it, the true man will realize that he is everyman. rock on.
No, it's not bad at all. It's good in fact. I like old rock, but I also listen to a lot of other genres as well. I like to discover new music every day instead of listening to the same old thing all the time.
I'm browsing through RUclips, trying to find songs reminiscent of "Baby Blue" by Badfinger (LONG LIVE HEISENBERG), and I clicked this hoping to find something neat in the related vids. But I can't not finish this song, it's too damn good XD Side note, but do you think this'd be a good song to end the Walking Dead TV show to? Like, Daryl has to mercy kill Rick after he gets bitten or something, and he just drives off into the sunset with this playing? IT'D BE FUCKING AWESOME IS WHAT IT'D BE.
I am sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at the annotations. Completely ruined the song of course but funny in the sense that it reminded me of simpler times in Junior High.
Why must the annotations be so good?? I have to pause another good thing just read them. Oh well, I guess I'll listen to it once, then replay and read the annotations. Wait, how is that a bad thing?? Double for me XD
I had a family friend pass away several years ago, after being hit by a train... At his funeral this song was played... Everytime i hear it, it brings back memories of him..
I saw them perform this live back in 1976...that amazing guitar solo was even more "epic" standing in the sunshine at Soldier Field in Chicago with about 40,000 other people. ;)
Welp. Took me some time to come back here after I knew they deleted the one thing I had left with you. I honestly have no clue why they thought it was a good idea to remove annotations... We honestly didn't have a lot of things to share, we didn't talk as much as I liked, but I miss those summers we would game and talk all day long from morning till night. I hope you find happiness. I love you man, even without our dumbass humor in this video, at least I can remember a simpler time with you... Rock on. - Dan
32 and love the annotations, funny as guys keep it up don't listen to this fool ^^^ hehe only prob is I couldn't dance as I had to watch for the comments!
***** That was your attempt at humor? Looks like quite a few people agree with me, no reason to reply to a comment that is 6 months old with a lame, unoriginal joke in a pathetic attempt to be funny. Move on with your life.
My Uncle. Jesse Lanning. A true bad-ass. Helped a little girl catch her first fish, taught her to appreciate the outdoors, drove 8 hours to the beach in order to walk her down the aisle. I love you Uncle Jesse. This awesome song is for you, we both loved it.
My sister done exactly the same, although i was an adult when it happened. I feel your pain, and I am having problems understanding it also. Music helps bring back the memories, thank god for expressive guitar players. Keep your chin up.
I absolutely loved the annotations, it made a great song even better to listen to. I got the warm fuzzy feeling from the song & a good laugh at the same time.

That's beautiful, man.
When you're watching on mobile and don't have to deal with annotations.
One of the GREATEST guitar solos EVER!!!!!
This song was played at my dad's funeral and every time I hear it I think of him and it brings back to all of the wonderful memories we had. My daddy is now a Free Bird, fly high daddy
This was played and sang beautifully at my dad's funeral, it felt like it was just from him to me.. love this song, and my daddy :')
when i die i will be free as a bird just as my little bro and dad :(
Props to the 10 year old kid who put this up. I love this song. Thanks man and I hope Puberty hit you well!!!!
+Jimbo Morrison Hit me as well as the bombing of Hiroshima. It was sudden, unexpected and painful... ._.
+KingPelleasOfDaien wanna kiss?
Came for the music. Stayed for the annotations. Also the music.
I can see why my son loved lynyrd Skynyrd - he went to heaven when he was 29. RIP, dear son. Tears. His favorite song was Simple man. momma's boy.
I'm 52 now and remember dancing in our gym with a live band singing this, oh how I wish my 25 and 27 year old children could have lived this...they have missed out!! Our culture has so gone in the wrong direction, let's get back to our roots people!!!

@Jennifer, you are were my free bird. You had to always do it your way. I do
understand now. I hope you find what you were always looking for.
To my bro dave RIP
A Awesome start to Happy Monday.
Peace & be well.
Awesome Anthem

Am I the only one who thought that the annotations were hilarious? I love this song and video
I am 1 day old and I still listen to good music like this.
I'm 9 months and I agree
18 months and still rockin!
I'm wondering how old the person is that made this video. Those annotations scream 12 year old.
22, you're close though!
KingPelleasOfDaien hahahahahahaha.
You sound like a funny person. (didn't read the annotations tho)
Thanks for the video with lyrics and all.
KingPelleasOfDaien you must have been 16 years old when you posted this vid tho. 2008 is a while ago haha
15 but as awkward as a 10 year old tho (quack...?)
2DollarBills Lol are you stupid? Those are obviously public annotations.
It's a very........ long time since I've listened to this song, and I must say I am totally and pleasantly surprised by the experience I just had by hearing "Freebird" again! The guitar solo is insanely awesome! May Steve Gaines (Lead Guitarist), Ronnie Van Zant (Vocalist) and Cassie Gaines (Vocalist) all RIP - they are well missed.
i liked the annotations...
4:55 and onwards is the greatest 5ish minutes in rock and roll.
That and the last 5 minutes of November Rain and Stairway to Heaven
I just washed the dishes to this song, and there is soap EVERYWHERE, but DAMN I feel good!
thats how yu do house work! good job :)
Welded Rook Ha, good one. That was funny.
Welded Rook well done
Love all the wonderful memories of the spring in life when this song came out. Thank you Lord for your many blessings.
When I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd In Charlotte, NC back in '74, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life! (They played with ZZ Top at that outdoor concert!)
I liked the annotations in the video and honestly, I'm feeling so attacked right now.
(It's a meme of sorts for those who don't know so don't take this seriously)
This was my leisure drive song on GTA San Andreas
I would go and sit on chiliad and watch the planes crash into the mountain to this song, Ah good ol' San Andreas
lol
nostalgia :')
what station was it?
Like Channel X or something. I'm not sure, haven't played it in years. Miss that game so much.
I miss seeing the annotations on this video.
I like the demented annotations, and you have outstanding taste! THIS is why the youngsters today who like current music need to understand WE grew up with REAL music. NOTHING on the charts in 2023 can come close to any of this. We were spoiled. If we knew how shiddy music would be today, we would have appreciated it more then.
Those ANNOYINGtations are like a radio DJ trying really hard to be funny when they clearly aren't.
***** Well, are you like, 10?
Bravest memer well its fun to laugh at 10 year olds for being stupid
JuSt twO Amazing Brother's, havin' fun when they made their 1st VideO,... Some will never have the love Of a brother ...And will never have the Awesome Memories... rOCk'On!
I am happy they have a

within 3 seconds I was scrambling to turn off the annotations I could not take another second of that bullshit haha
Since you told me what you did, I'll tell you what I did today... I went to work, I pooped and hopped on this channel since it's been 7 months... ._. Anyone else?
borrowedtoe Dude, your supposed to be here for the music. JS....
Ronda Longard obviously that's why I'm here? I'm having difficulties understanding your comment
borrowedtoe You said you didn't like the annotations ^^^ I was just saying, cuz I don't usually watch the videos. I just put them on and listen. Sorry, I was just being silly. It came out wrong :)
Ronda Longard isn't Jesus Christ JC in abbreviation? cause I think you meant that with JS, right?
Props to the 12 year old kid who put this up. I love this song. Thanks man and I hope Puberty hit you well !
When my other ball descends I'll hit you up.
oh my god.. XD :D hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahhhahahahahahhahhah
cough *virgin* cough lmao
Props to the 12 year old kid who put this up. I love this song. Thanks man and I hope Puberty hit you well !
Nice video. This song was played at my old manager's funeral in 2009 - Rest in peace, Susan! She loved her classic rock!
The annotations are awesome
Comedy and sick ass music? Win!
That moment when you forgot how to disable annotations....
I love when it picks up halfway through!! I go so suddenly from chill to pumped!
GTA SA was indeed the best in the franchise.. this game had unique atmosphere plus all the best music hits were included.. this solo always makes me rock out like hell!
These annotations are awesome ahaha
this will always be my favorite lyric video :D
I love your annotations :-)
rest in peace mom... one of her favorites...
Shawna Blueyes so sorry for your loss. I hope all is well for you otherwise. Have a lovely day❤️💙🐾
thank u that means a lot
Shawna Blueyes but you said you played stairway to heaven at "her service" but if you did ok i'm js and if it's true i'm sorry i feel you 😔😖😞
Caleb Howell we did. but this is also one of her favorites
you added a bunch of new annotations; bravo; you got a bunch of subscribers despite your protests...
That's the awkward thing... Most people ask for subscribers and get none, I ask for none and I get some... ._. I don't understand life...
it's the quality that counts; and the annotations are funny in here
Lol, General Sarcasm. XD
Also I love how the GH game (I forget which one) asks you like 6 times if you're really sure you want to take on this song.
GH2 I think.
Yeah 2.
When i hear this song it always reminds me of the end of The Devil's Rejects
ditto!
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! BEST SONG IN HISTORY!!!!!!
this song + the ending of devils rejects = Exclence
This song is packed full of emotion!! One of the best ever made and it clicks with me at the moment for a whole number of reasons
lol.. someone was in a good mood the day they put this together........... hahahaha
lol!!! right!!!
Alcohol is wonderful, isn't? :)
Epic Masterpiece!
People bitching about the annotations. THERE'S AN OPTION TO TURN THEM OFF!!!
love the annotations dude absolutely adds some life to the video
The annotations remind me of the comment section of every video, ever...
whats up guys.. im here for the solo
***** Thats Ironic I remember that being said by Ron Jeremy sometime ago
GTA San Andreas!!!!!!!! I got attached to my Hydra flying it to this song. Then I lost it in blue hell under Doherty, San Fierro. Oh well. It always turns up in that hangar in the aircraft graveyard in Bone County.
I truly love it just the way it is!! 2 15yr old bro's did this and I think it is awesome that they are even listening to our good ole baby boomer music! The BEST music of all time. Just my opinion... Peace all.

You wanna know whats weird? I like all old rock songs, and I also like rap and trap music. Is that bad?
I really don't like the new rap that has came out.
No it means you have a diverse taste in music and therefore not boring.
No, not all. Everyone has different tastes. I like Alternative, Rock, Metal and Classical... Haha
Caleb Carrigan youre looking for affirmation confidence and kinship. even though, as a man-to-be you shouldnt need to, there are always friends and kindred spirits that will tell you, that YOU DONT NEED affirmations. why? because trust me, at the end of it, at the core of it, the true man will realize that he is everyman. rock on.

this would be a good song to end anything on. i could only be so lucky to go out with this playing.
this should be Daryl's anthem. it describes him perfectly.
I'm pretty sure you can end ANYTHING with Freebyrd.
I think this was the song they played at the end of the devils rejects movie.
jim bob yes and that movie is great too!
the guitar solo is just simply amazing i want to cry on how amazing it is !!!!!!
I am sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at the annotations. Completely ruined the song of course but funny in the sense that it reminded me of simpler times in Junior High.
lel the annotations
Why must the annotations be so good?? I have to pause another good thing just read them. Oh well, I guess I'll listen to it once, then replay and read the annotations. Wait, how is that a bad thing??
Double for me XD
Haha this comment... This comment, it got me pretty good! xD
I had a family friend pass away several years ago, after being hit by a train... At his funeral this song was played... Everytime i hear it, it brings back memories of him..
All the single ladies...lol.
thats a different song lol
*****
its in the annotations lol
not in mine lol
Did you talk to yourself in the annotations?
To be honest 2008 was a weird year for me... Haha
freebird
I just spit coffee all over myself because of your profile picture as well as your comment. My soul thanks you, but my fire-crotch loathes you.
I saw them perform this live back in 1976...that amazing guitar solo was even more "epic" standing in the sunshine at Soldier Field in Chicago with about 40,000 other people. ;)
I turned off the annotations. Im sure someone cares
I do a little a bit... :c
birds cost a lot of money
Yeah yeah, "and this bird you cannot change," I see what you did there.
String cheese is the best
Welp. Took me some time to come back here after I knew they deleted the one thing I had left with you. I honestly have no clue why they thought it was a good idea to remove annotations... We honestly didn't have a lot of things to share, we didn't talk as much as I liked, but I miss those summers we would game and talk all day long from morning till night. I hope you find happiness. I love you man, even without our dumbass humor in this video, at least I can remember a simpler time with you...
Rock on.
- Dan
The annotations weren't funny, just annoying. Guess I was 13 once too
I think they're hilarious, and I'm 22 :P
32 and love the annotations, funny as guys keep it up don't listen to this fool ^^^ hehe only prob is I couldn't dance as I had to watch for the comments!
Ali h You're one immature, loser ass 32 year old then...
Spencer Hastings
i like toast
***** That was your attempt at humor? Looks like quite a few people agree with me, no reason to reply to a comment that is 6 months old with a lame, unoriginal joke in a pathetic attempt to be funny. Move on with your life.
I think the annotations are stupid but I cant stop reading them idek
Sarah Brooks they're kind of hilarious? but in an unintentional, ironic way??
MOOOoooooooZACK!!!!!!!
Mo0o0o0o0o0oSIK!
Fantastic annotations, thanks for the good laughs, mate.
*turns off annotations
Someone get this guy a lighter.
kingsmen anyone?
***** I gotta say one thing about that movie, it's my favorite movie
***** I feel like they could make a second one if they really wanted too
They are! Better be good
Nick Retep cool I can't wait
Nothing beats the sound of Skynyrd. Especially the 3 guitars, so classic
annotations were funny THUMBS UP IF AGREE
Song is amazing. I gave this video a dislike cause the annotations are annoying as fuck!
wow. You managed to ruin a great song with your stupid boxes. Good job jackass.
My Uncle. Jesse Lanning. A true bad-ass. Helped a little girl catch her first fish, taught her to appreciate the outdoors, drove 8 hours to the beach in order to walk her down the aisle. I love you Uncle Jesse. This awesome song is for you, we both loved it.
I especially love the first half. The slide guitar sends me.
I remember watching this video when it had only 2.6 million views... they grow up so fast! Fly high freebird!
That was the coolest intro to a song I've ever seen. Thank you for the laughs.
Haha the annotations at the beginning cracked me up!!
''it's starting be quiet'' I must of watched the intro about 3 times just reading the notes :) x
Best guitar solo ever, Ever in my books!! Love this great song!!
Damn even air guitaring that 5-minute solo is brutal! that must hurt to play! - Worth it! absolute gold!
Aw , takes me back nearly 40 years . Got to be my favourite dance ever !!
Thank The Lord that atleast one time in my generation that we can hear truly good music from the great lynyrd skynyrd
Even with the shitty "intermissions" and the annotions its still a good song
Colt Sean idk what the fuck you're saying about neil young but he does have some great music.
+Moby - Absofuckinglutely
My sister done exactly the same, although i was an adult when it happened. I feel your pain, and I am having problems understanding it also. Music helps bring back the memories, thank god for expressive guitar players. Keep your chin up.
I like the annotations -refreshingly different and creative. good job!
Best of '75. Rock on, Skynyrd.
HA HA it's cool you've changed the annotations over time since I first saw this video. keeping it fresh!
I absolutely loved the annotations, it made a great song even better to listen to. I got the warm fuzzy feeling from the song & a good laugh at the same time.
