My son played this song for me a couple of years before he was killed in a car wreck. This song has special meaning for me and I cry every time I hear it. Thank you for doing a reaction on this song.
💙
Lost my older brother 13 years ago due to cancer. This song always reminds my Mom of him too. God Bless.
Sending love to you both 🧡🧡
Sorry for your loss. Glad he shared this song with you.
❤️
A beautiful message from a mother to son... a great message for all young men today. Love your reactions
My son is 39 and this is his ring tone for me! I ALWAYS played this for him as a child and today he is an amazing man!
Every Skynyrd song tells a story of life.
I love the message in the song. Shinedown’s version is dope too.☮️
Lynyrd Skynyrd is classified as southern rock, like the Allman Brothers Band, 38 Special, Molly Hatchett and the like. You should react to Freebird again, butt this time the live version when they opened for The Rolling Stones in 1974 I believe, they absolutely ripped the roof. If you want a more rocking Skynyrd song, checkout Give Me Back My Bullets, 38 Special. My all time favorite two songs by the boys is, Four Walls of Railford and The Ballad of Curtis Loew. Mr. Banker is another banger and Tuesday's Gone. There is an actual live concert by Lynyrd Skynyrd on RUclips from 1977, before their tragic plane crash where a good portion of the band died, including front man Ronnie Van Zant.
Yes please do the live version
Love every 1of them!! BTW great taste 👌
@@kheart7260 I specifically love the live version when the opened for The Rolling Stones, because there was one rule when opening for them and that was NO ONE was to walk down the stage to the part that was their logo. When those boys got going during Freebird, Johnny was like Steve, Gary and Allen get down here, NO ONE tells us nothing!
this is the mother son dance i choose for his wedding and its so accurate- because I have an only child a son! perfect word for word!
A deep and touching ode to basic teachings. They were right.
I was a senior in high school when they were killed in a plane crash in the early morning. I remember hearing it when I was getting ready for school and I was so brokenhearted
Southern Rock at its finest
Something about southern bluesy rock - always a tinge of sorrow in it no matter how lovely IMO. This tune has alotta heart. Van Zant used to sing on stage barefoot. Talk about being grounded and down to earth! None of my fellow blacc comrades were ready and thought I was weird for listening to this kind of music. But soul is soul - listen and not only can it be heard but felt. Free bird is another anthem with that hella solo. Try AEROSMITH - them kats got soul too. And Rolling Stones got some too. And Led Zeppelin. Explore and stay with an open mind fellas - music is that bridge we all can walk.
The chills ran down my spine for the first time in 1974, it's awesome to see people still discovering this timeless music.
Great song!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome! Shinedown is a good one too 45
Young people understanding this fantastic story . WE ARE ALL AMERICANS!!!
shit they def a top 2 band for sure... you gotta listen to all of their tracks... props for the motley crue shoutout too
Played this at my older brothers funeral, now every time I listen to I can't help it but feel down
you gotta give the singer his credit for his decisions in creating the song. he didnt clutter every verse and chorus with words he could have used, the melody he went with on the end and beginning of his verses and the selection of words he used let the song breathe and pull out the power of the sound
Boy, my music selection increased drastically when I moved to cities that weren’t predominantly black. Shoutout to Chase.
Morgane Stapleton with Chris Stapleton - You Are My Sunshine - y'all will love this!
Rock and roll is like the rings of a tree follow it back to the beginning of it's time and plant the seed and watch your soul grow
The Great Great Great one and only LYNARD SKYNYRD!
Pure southern rock. Saw them in concerts years ago. Fkn amazing.
U guys should check out other songs from Lynyrd Skynyrd they are very good definitely too much love too like "Sweet Home Alabama" too.
Shine down did an excellent cover of this song
This is the generation of so many many great bands. Sadly they are dying out. But their music will live forever on.
I love watching y'all...music touches our souls
Ronnie Van Zant was a gift to this World
May this song accompany me into the after life!
You guys are awesome!
I'm like hell yeah!!!!
Please do "Gimme Three Steps" Then "Needle and the Spoon". 2 hour movie about their start up until the plane crash, well worth the watch and maybe understand their power over southern boys in the 70s. "Ballad of Curtis Lowe". As much difference between Southern R&R and Hard rock Motley Crew. Apples and oranges. may as well compare punk to rap,✌✌ BTW old white guy here and I like your shows. I'm sure most of your followers don;t look like me, so good on ya'll for opening the music world to others.
guy with the smiley shitt and heart is definitely a drummer
Ron van Zant top Southern rock vocals..I seen them in long beach calif right before there plane crashed on there tour.😢 if you ever get to see kid rock in concert he covers alot of skynard songs and he has the southern rock voice to..luv that you guys are listening to alot of music from the past..check out arron Lewis am I the only one..played alot during pandemic
Listen to Tuesday's Gone!!!!! Lynyrd Skynyrd - thanks for the videos! Also Shinedown's version of Simple Man was good too! Enjoy
Love you guys. Darlington, South Carolina 0:59
Definitely a badass song from a mom to son.
I like the shinedown cover
Ya'll need to watch the videos. It makes a bigger impact
See them play live they were beast
Now THIS,... this is MUSIC. Now you should hear A Country Boy Can Survive by the Charlie Daniels Band
Anything by Jethro Tull, but it's gotta be LIVE!!! 💯
Awesome reactions from y'all! I see some Rajun Cajuns logos. Y'all from Lafayette? Maybe I'll pass y'all up one day! Maybe in Kirk's U-Needa Butcher store on Surrey St. This old lady would love to meet y'all!!!
Troubles will come and they will PASS !!!
My guys got the UL gear on. Didn’t know y’all was out here in Lafayette.
This was the song on my son’s graduation video with different pics over the years.
A life lesson right here!
You should hear shinedown version of this song.... That man can sing
I was in the Snake Pitts downtown San Jose when the plane went down
I have a song for all of my children and this is the one that I have for my son. He is my oldest and only son
Enjoyed this video!
on the hunt off of nothing fancy is a great tune.
Keep up the great work
I would love to see your reaction to Queen “Somebody to Love” live in Montreal 1981.
You guys awesome
Ronnie Van Zandt is one of the best song writers ever, his lyrics were great!! Listen to Curtis Lowe
If you dig this, check out .38 Special. The guitarist in that band is one the brothers of the lead singer on this one.
If you love this then you will love Freebird
There will never be a band like Skynard again.
That smell is a good song by Lynyrd Skynyrd also.
Lost my dad at 16. Everytime I hear this song I cry, was one of his favorites.
Love it!
Fellas... those are all Different genres of music altogether...
The lyrics rocks.
I Sing this to my babies
Mother/son song for dance at his wedding.
We played this for my husband when he was in the hospital dying of cancer. It was played as the nurses pronounced him dead a year ago. Hard for me to listen but he was exactly as this song describes.
The meaning of the song is a parent telling a son to be a “simple” man, not live lavishly or have a complicated life. Pay the bills put food on the table for your family, etc and you will be “satisfied”
Yes, and in the 70s it was straight singing and music
Did you just make the lyrics a comment to explain them?
:)
That's exactly what life is suppose to be about
Greatest southern rock band of all time
Ronnie Van Zant had an amazing voice. The band just wrote music that touched your soul. We just lost Gary Rossington the last living member of the band. RIP Gary.
Gary Died last month
There's still arymus pyle alive
@@tommasoguidihe’s talking about the original band, ofc they’re still performing nowadays since john van zant is alive but the og members they’re all dead rip ronnie, allen collins, gary, larry junstrom and bob burns
I have to say that you young gentleman put a smile on this old lady’s face. To see you enjoying music for what it is no matter the genre is uplifting. This is how I’ve viewed music all my life. From folk music to metal, alternative to rap. I love It all! Music is what feeds your soul. These days I enjoy praise and worship but I’ll dance to anything that moves me!
Yes, I agree.
Amen I respect this im an old lady that believes this is the best band ever ty young men for sharing this I hit the like what a treat
limit yourself with NOT listening to all music... dumb. I love your post!
Same!🤣♥️
Lynyrd Skynyrd is absolute "Gold Standard of Southern Rock". A genre where you have slow, melody focused sections, combined with "heavy" guitar sections and often having a story or message in the lyrics, and normally combining a "build up" of music and lyrics for hitting key points to get across. They may have been one of the most influential bands for roughly 30 years (80's-2000's) but have been slowly replaced by later bands for modern times as the "influence" type of bands.
Now, as far as the whole "Linken Park/Motely Crue" issue? I get it, they both have some good songs and have also been wildly popular over the years for one group or another. But I know that as soon as Metallica gets tossed in that mix, Park and Crue will be left in the dust, especially when you consider the song structures of Metallica that can change directions literally from one verse to the other off of one note.
Vocally? Well, vocals are all subjective and you can never really say that one singer is "perfect" for everyone. But there are some who are clearly "better" than others, but don't limit yourself to only male singers. The Wilson sisters (Ann/Nancy) from Heart are considered to be the best female vocalist in Rock-N-Roll, and their vocal range and ability still shocks new listeners to this day.
As far as female rock singers, there is Janis Joplin, and then there is everybody else. No one approaches her. And most vocal critics put Pat Benatar ahead of Ann and Nancy. PB has an operatic voice - literally, since she trained as an opera singer. For male vocalists, hard to top Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin. Hard to top Led Zeppelin as bands go. As you said, it's all subjective; except Janis lol. She's the Jimi Hendrix of female rock vocalists. Ironic that they both died within a month of each other, in 1970, and both were 27. Jim Morrison joined the '27 Club' a few months later, with Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse to follow.
Could not agree more. Have you seen Heart do Stairway to Heaven on the Kennedy Center Honors! Watch it.
Metallica has some iconic tracks that’s forsure…..as far as hard rock goes they gotta be up there with the greatest like Black Sabbath or Led Zep. And Heart has some of the most recognizable hits ever that’s how crazy good they were. Love the song “magic man”. Pat Benatar’s track “heartbreaker” is bad ass and I believe it was used in a movie recently. Think the movie was “Nobody” which turned out to be awesome
@@obxtasy626what??? Janis Joplin ?!!?! For emotion, undoubtedly. I personally find it hard to listen to Joplin. For singing ability, she is a hard no. If you want to hear the best current female rock singer, check out one of the greatest southern rock bands ever, Tedeschi Trucks Band.
I think you did your math wrong and mixed up your decades
Blows your mind when you realize for the last 60 years that musicians have been working their best to bring all of us together while politicians have been working to keep us apart. And the punchline - the internet the politicians thought they could use to finish the game keeping us apart has backfired, and we are coming together. Isn’t that some s&$t ❤️
This is a great comment.
@@907kat awe ❤️ thanks brother/sister.
Much respect for your comment... I agree 100%❤
Very true
there's few "musician's" who are music stars any more though, the "pop star" promoted by corporate media is every genre now and it started in the 80's with digital music(not against it, rap is my fav genre, just that creativity became less valued than imitation of trends).
What mainstream pop star isn't either politically silent, promoted as a mouthpiece of the Democratic party or labeled racist & Nazi if they're right-wing by corporate media?
You young men impress me and I'm thankful for you. I'm 71 and really appreciate how you appreciate our music.
I'm 65 and like these guys reaction Videos alot along with "Polo Reacts".
I know this is why I love this podcast so much thought that this music would die out with use was making me sad but this gives me hope
@@dwalker6260yes I love polo
62 here and agree 💯
This song was written through a grieving process when band members lost a grandmother and mother at around same time. This song is an amalgam of the advice these two influential women had. It transcends the personal and becomes something everyone can relate to . . .
damn i lost my grandmother and mother 1 month apart at 18 years old. this song hits garder now hearing this
I`m 64 now. Back in 1974, Lynyrd Skynyrd was the very first band I saw in concert. In New Orleans. I was 16 yrs. old.
Same tour in Houston, Charlie Daniels was the opening act.
Omg I’m jealous! I saw Van Halen in 81 in Jackson, Mississippi. I was too young to se this. I’ve seen the tribute band.
❤️
I saw them in New Orleans in New Orleans right before Hurricane Katrina! They were awesome
😎
Ballad of Curtis Loew - Skynyrd Its a song about where they got their blues influence from. Even if you don't react, please listen to the song because it's powerful
100% agree
Absolutely love that song.
Everyone needs to hear this song💖
Right on. I called it Mr. Banker...but I ALWAYS forget the name of songs. That's definitely a great song.
My favorite song by Skynyrd
Yes!!!! Absolutely my favorite Skynyrd song!!!
I have to add this. The second time through I started laughing. I was remembering all the time listening to this, the concerts, the cellars, the parties, kegs, etc, but I never imagined 45 years later a bunch of young black men would be enjoying it so much. You guys are as much of a treasure as the music. In fact, you joined a life time of Lynyrd Skynyrd memories. Thanks again.
Imagine that you guys are 25-30 and you have such a wide appreciation for so many bands and their music. You'll be able to turn your kids onto the huge array of music. Thanks for your great reactions!
It's great that these kids are discovering this amazing music and introducing it to the younger generation👍
I freaking enjoy the hell out you young men discovering the southern fried rock mastery that is Lynyrd Skynyrd! Next on your Skynyrd list should be The Ballad of Curtis Loew. You will DIG IT!
Every one thought I would have played at my sons funeral…. He used to play this on his guitar and sing it to me around campfires . I couldn’t do it was too personal only 4th time I have sat and listened to it in 2 years and 6 months and 19 days …. Keep Rocking Guys …. Southern Rock at its best
My condolences, perhaps you can play it for him to listen to in heaven when you’re ready
Lisa, my heart hurts for you. As a Mama of 4 boys I can't imagine your pain. Simple Man is the most beautiful illustration of love. This is my Ben's ringtone. It truly says everything. My prayers are with you 🙏 ~Lesa (on my husband's account)
Im very sorry for the loss of your precious son. Youre in my prayers.
Hi Lisa 💚 thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry for the loss of your son, yet grateful you are able to listen to this song, despite the painful (albiet beautful) memories, even if is only (very) few and far between. Sending you the best vibes of light and joy, and prayers if you want them.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Those who have gone before us will forever be etched in our memories. Never to be forgotten.
My parents had tickets to the Baton Rouge show when the plane crashed and we lost some very talented musicians that day. God bless all the people this song speaks to… it has special meaning to so many people out there. Appreciate y’all doing Skynrd.
My friends and I were going to go to that show as well
My husband was going too. Fly high Free Bird 🕊️🕊️🙏
A lot of musical talent lost in plane crashes. Some of the best. RONNIE VANZANDT, PATSY CLINE, RICHIE VALENS. BUDDY HOLLY AND THE BIG BOPPER *the last 3 together in Clear Lake, Iowa plane crash...So Sad!! Thanks for checking out the songs of my generation (l just turned 73)
Still Rockin' in Oklahoma!!
Do they still have the tickets? That would be worth framing.
Love this song. Shinedown's cover is excellent. Played this for my son when he was 16. Told him I always said I would play this for any son I was blessed with, because that's what I want for him. He found the Shinedown cover for me. Said if he ever had a son he would share the song with him.
Yesterday his son turned 6 months, so still has a while to go. He is a good hard working, husband and Father. He takes after his Dad. I'm so proud of him. A wonderful son.
Hell yea This my favorite track all time. Always will love Lynyrd Skynyrd. What his mama told him was some sound advice. And she made sure to remind him “don’t forget son, there is someone up above”.
(R.I.P.) Ronnie Van Zant. One of a kind. Never wrote down a lyric: "If I need to write it down, it ain't no good" RVZ. This song is a masterpiece maybe even more than Freebird for me. It's a perfect song.
It's been remade alot over all the decade's.🤔🤔
💯👍
None of them even close to the original.
Yep this is better than freebird but freebird is an awesome tune👍
It's their best song and if I had to make a list of 5 songs in rock history to play this one would be in there.
I love their reactions to this song....I grew up with this type of music. .transcends race, culture...love it..💪❤
💯👍
If you like Southern rock, like Lynyrd Skynyrd, then you would probably like Credence Clearwater Revival, or CCR for short. They have a lot of hits, you've almost definitely heard one or two of their songs without realizing it
Grew up listening to them. Always played this for my son when he was growing up. Great message for young men. You don't have to be wealthy money wise it's about you as a man being happy with yourself and your life. That's what makes you wealthy.
Lynard Skinner is an amazing band don't sleep on them. "Sweet home Alabama", "Gimme Back My Bullets", "Gimme Three Steps", "What's Your Name ", "Swamp Music" are a few of my favs. If you've only heard "Free Bird" and now "Simple Man" you've only heard thier slower songs so far. They are a classic band for a reason. Just saying
Gimme back my Bullets!!!!!!!!!!
"The Ballad of Curtis Loew" and "Tuesday's Gone".
LOVE gimme back my bullets
I love Give me back my Bullets!
The Ballad of Curtis Lowe
You should listen to a group called Shinedown. Their rendition of this great classic is AMAZING! Their lead singer has some crazy good vocals.
Gaines is married to van zants daughter ..they kept it in the family.
Best cover I’ve seen in concert!
Outstanding cover! I like it better than the original. There's so much more feeling in it.
@@mollymcsunshine has no soulful guitar solo but has more feeling??? chinese riddle right there.
When bands like Disturbed or Shinedown cover some of these classics it comes off pretty corny to me. Shinedown are a good band though but they’re a bit too edgy for their talent.
The very first time I heard this song, I dedicated it to my son (even though I wasn't even pregnant yet). He is now 42 years old and is getting married on July 23, 2022! He and I will dance to this song. The wedding is just a few days away now as I write this on July 20, 2022. After many years and children, he has become a Simple Man. He finally found a woman and found love! I am so glad he waited for the RIGHT woman to marry! This reaction came into my life, just in time! Thanks guys! I appreciate you all!
Guys, your reaction videos are great. The multiple personalities just bring a whole new level to the reaction video game. Yeah, other channels have a few people, but the way you guys crack on each other is what makes you guys one of my favorites. Don’t change and don’t stop.
👊👍✌❤😅
I sang this to my son a thousand times. He liked it much better when he was little but I didn't stop. As a surprise at his wedding he played it for the mother son dance. I was crying by the 4th note and never prouder of him. He is happy and satisfied nothing more I could ask for.
Big hug momma!!
My aunt has 5 boys, her youngest got married 2 yrs ago. She had this played for the mother son dance. It was amazing, he cried through the whole dance. Never expected that from that hard rough country boy. It was perfect.
The 1st guy, he knows his music. He really does. They doing something, baby you know it !!
Linkin Park is no comparison to Lynrd Skynrd. Not even close .... I wish I knew these guys names. This 1st guy has captured my heart ❤. He knows good music when he hears it.
Play it for your moms !!! Guaranteed they'll fall straight up in love with it. Because of you guys, your moms will love it !!
.
The one on the right?
I call him green eyes/cutie pie!!
He is a doll 💜✌️💜
This was the song for mother son dance at my oldest son's wedding
I grew up down the road from these guys. Ronnie Van Zant never wrote down a lyric. He wrote the songs in his head and remembered them all. True story.
As a mom, this is all I want for my son. The song gets me every time. Shinedown also does a great cover of this song.
Shinedown has the best cover, IMO
💯 I have only 1 child and he is my whole world. I just hope he has a beautiful life and never experiences alot of the things I've had to
I know you've already listened to Freebird but PLEASE do yourselves a favor and react the live version from 1977. Seeing them in action is a whole other ball game. They were PHENOMENAL. The guitar playing alone is mind blowing.
Play it pretty for Atlanta!
I love the live version with the Rolling Stones logo. The Stones manager to Skynard to not go down the tounge of thier logo, as that was for Mick Jagger only, well when the Freebird solo was being played Ronnie dared Leon Wilkerson to go down the tounge, and slowly Leon, Ronnie Van Zandt,Allen Collins and Gary Rossington all start to creep down the logo and just jam out to the solo. It was great... it also is shown at the end of the Lynard Skynard documentary on Netflix
It's not country rock is called Southern Rock. This band is legendary throughout the 70's.
If you want to hear one of the best voices of all time, listen to Journey (Steve Perry). Check out Open Arms, Faithfully, or Lovin Touchin Squeezin (or anything, really)
FAAAAAAAACCCTTTTSSSSS!!!!
Can I please add Lou Graham of Foreigner as being a top vocalist?! 🎵🎶
Too poppy
Not only is the music perfect and the vocals unbelievable but the message that Skynyrd tells of a mother wanting her son to be happy and satisfied in life is something that the world needs in this day and time
Yall need to check out their song "Call me the breeze", and "Don't ask me no questions ". They rock out more! They're southern fried rock at its best. Like ZZTop.
And the Allman Brothers , they started Southern Rock.
Every man’s anthem. Strong spirit and powerful emotions.
Some bands can bring a tear to your eye, that’s talent.
