    One of the many times I went to see Shinedown, I took my dad with me. My dad's a pretty stoic man and he was his usual stone-faced self for most of the concert. My old man is a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan though and I knew the second they started playing this song he would get into it. Lo and behold, as soon as Shinedown began to play this song my dad got a huge smile on his face and put his cell phone flashlight on and waved it side-to-side like everyone else was doing. He proceeded to enjoy the hell out of the rest of the concert both after this song and retroactively before it. Since my dad was so stoic most of the time when I was growing up I rarely saw him genuinely smile. So having him smile because a band I love covered a song by a band he loves is a memory I will cherish forever.

    My father never danced a day in his life. Not even with my mother. I worried in secret what would happen on my wedding day when the father daughter dance was expected by the guest. My rock, my best friend, my life teacher showed up at my door one day and say "ok little girl here's the deal. I pick the song but you gotta teach me how to dance bc I don't know how." He was the stiffest, uncoordinated, and most beautiful dance I've ever had in all my life and I can't wait to dance with him again in the heavens! Love you dad❤

    My Daddy caught me putting in a concert in my room when I was 17 thinking no one was home. This was the song I was belting when he started listening. He started recording me in his old flip phone voice recorder. Of course I was mortified when I realized he’d been listening to me and was beyond embarrassed when I found out he recorded me. He said he’d heard their cover and liked it, but when he heard his daughter belting it out it ran a chill down his spine. He had a buddy that played guitar and they would make me sing this every time they caught me together. Daddy passed in 2019 and it broke my heart clear in two. He gave me an awesome taste in music (obviously 😂) and we had such a bond over it. He always told me he was proud of me but when he heard me sing, it was indescribable for him how proud he was. I didn’t do it much in front of people but would for him. My husband and kids tell me they like the way I sing, but I believe they’re humoring me lol. I’m not saying this to fish for compliments or too my own horn by any means as I feel more like I’m caterwauling these days 🤣🤣🤣. Every time I hear their cover of Simple Man I think about my Daddy and smile. That makes this song worth more than its weight in gold to me and will always hold a special place in my heart! 💕

      Thank you for sharing your story! I am sorry for the loss of your Dad and pray that you find comfort in the sweet memories! I grew up on the original from LS (one of my Daddy's all time favorites). When Shinedown first released this, Daddy heard this version as a short ring tone on my Nokia cellphone (that's been a minute... lol) He asked me to let him hear the whole song of their version. He started crying and said that it felt like when he heard LS for the first time. He was super young when he lost his Mom at 21 (his Dad at 17), so that song was one of the only times I would see him tear up. Not long after Daddy heard this version, I lost him. He was 52 and I was 22. I will be 43 at the end of the month and no matter how many times I hear either version, it chokes me up. Every time I have heard them do this live ... water works! I know if he was still with us, he would be going to SD shows with me and my husband. Ahhh how I wished! 😁

    I taught myself to play this song specifically for my mother, she lost me for a couple of years to drugs and the city and it broke her heart, all she ever wanted for me was to be happy and healthy, so once I got sober I dedicated this song to her, and to this day it brings her to tears when I play it for her. I love my mom. You only get one.

I too used to struggle with depression and attempted suicide multiple times. I know that sounds silly but when someone is at the end of their ropes they are battling with living or dieing. Once you make it through you realize how precious life really is. I can’t imagine your hurt but I CAN imagine your hope. Live for him brother and I promise you will see him again. God bless my dude.

    Every time I listen to this, tears, tears of joy, languidness. I think, "pure soul". Grew up in Appalachia. Had the standard "hard knocks" Appalachian upbringing. I was born in FL, raised in VA, and live in WV currently. This is one of those songs which tells a story that many a young man lives. It really hits "all the feels" as is said in trendy pop culture. My grandfather and uncle were both army infantry. Both fought in wars that never ought to have been. Both came home and were Simple Men, working in a poultry hatchery for thirty to forty years each. Left huge shoes to fill my Pap, did. Uncle is still a Simple Man for now. He, too, will leave huge shoes. So, yeah this song "gets me" and as I think, is pure soul. I love Skynard's original but damn, Shinedown blew it the fuck away, in a very good way. :) :D

    when I was a kid growing up without my mother around, when I did see her, she taught me to be this way without actually saying these words. just though her spirit and making trees from seeds. god I wish my father didn't ban her from me and make me resent him my whole life. being smart and over observing can really hurt u in the real world. don't u worry, ul find urself, follow ur heart, and nothing else.

    My dad's very close cousin passed away on May 1, 2018. This was his favorite song, and because my dad was a singer, they asked him to sing it at his rosary. On May 4, my dad got up and sang through his grief. He sat down, fist bumped my aunt, and slumped over. My beautiful, wonderful dad had a heart attack and passed away in front of most of his family, including his own mom, aunt, my mom, and my sister. I was not there because I had strep throat, but I am thankful that my kids did not have to watch their grandpa die.
    You can actually look up Simple Man cover Alfred Contreras and see him sing. He had the heart attack within minutes of the performance, and was pronounced dead less than an hour later. This song absolutely devastates me, it will be 3 years next week and I can barely stand to listen to it.

      Your dad was feeling pretty great when he was taken, but the grief and the extra emotion [anxiety,etc from performing] from the singing was too much for the heart... Honesty, I cannot think of a better way to go, surrounded by friends and family and just sang your heart out. I can understand how hard that would have been for those present, going thru that... He is just sleeping, and you will see him again make your dad proud do as he taught you and use your head and morals -GB
