Javier Vasquez it's about faith and God's natural order of life!!! Love thy neighbor, as you love God. God, Family and Country!! If you can't find joy in the simplicity of life, you will never find the Joy of God. Humility is what we should teach our children. Today's world pushes "self-esteem". All that is is egotism packaged in nice sounding words. That's why we have mindless entitled brats these days.
@@williamcabell142 So true, with Social Media raising children nowadays, kids see the glamorous life of Social Media celebrities and they dont realize that it's all B.S. To me, being rich doesn't mean having lost of money, to me it's being happy in life and appreciating everything you have regardless of how little one has. Being able to work hard everyday and just be a Simple Kind of Man or Woman.
Because if not you will always play with the Fire, and maybe get burned. After 40 Years and 8 Years of Prison, i finally understand & feel this Song to the full. My Mum died when i was 9 Years old. But i know for sure, she would told me that. R.I.P Mama, now i try and give my best to be a Simple Man!
My Husband and I grew up with this song. And raised our 2 sons like this song. When our oldest son got married, as a tribute to me, he chose this song as our Mother and Son dance. I was beaming with pride. There was not a dry eye. Even the DJ had tears.
I saw Skynyrd a few times in the 70's- They were the ultimate southern shit kickers. They could rock your socks off but then also leave you teary eyed with a beautiful ballad.
According to Ronnie Van Zant, the record producer Al Kooper didn't like the song so Ronnie told him, 'just go take a walk and come back in 2 hours.' The band recorded the song by themselves, and it became one of their most popular.
Thank you for your reaction, your opinion was spot on! This is the song I danced to with my son at his wedding for Mother/ Son solo dance. Very touching for everyone!
My BIL danced with his mom to this at the reception when he married my sister. His mom had raised him by herself and he is very much like what is described in this song. It was a heartfelt moment for sure.
The most Amazing song ever written, by one of the most Amazing Bands ever.. If the world lived by the message in the words of this song we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now... Thank you Ronnie and the entire Lynard Skynard Band for all the Wonderful Music you all gave us in the short time you were here...
You are a class act, Ms. Pink. The greatest band EVER!!! Thanks for taking the time to get to know Lynyrd Skynyrd. Ronnie Van Zant was the consummate gentleman, wordsmith and down home country boy. 💗
Simple Man is the one most important song in my life and I live my life by it. I want it to be how I am remembered if there is anyone left to remember me
One more thing: this is my absolute favorite song by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I used to listen to it on my kiddie record player when I was 7 years old back in 1983 lol! It had a message to me even back then. Lately, I have been taking care of my mother that is 83 years old. I cherish these years with her. So many things you can learn the most from a lady this age. Time is delicate. Learn and prosper. Smart words as always, PinkMetalHead. Peace out. Mark
Greetings from San Diego my dear, I just discovered your reaction videos. This classic being the first one. I've Subscribed, and look forward to seeing and listening to more.😊
Thanks for the reaction hun!!! My mom dedicated this song to me when I was born and first put into her arms. I listen to it whenever I’m feeling really down etc....♥️☺️
I like your vids but I had to see this. I raised my son on this song. Even when he's mad at mom he still loves this song - it always leads him home. Got to go dry my eyes now. Glad you liked it 😊
This song is BEAUTIFUL and very moving. And this coming from someone who is NOT a Skynyrd fan, except for this song. They truly hit on something special here, and it connects with me because it is how I have long tried to live my life, and these words were exactly what my mom would have spoken to me. But she's gone now, and not a day goes by that she doesn't cross my mind. Never did find that woman, though, but I tried mom, Lord knows I tried.
Reminds me of the time my grandad sat me down at age 17 before I left for the army. Sittin on our front porch in Texas having my 1st beer before I shipped out. Served 12 years proudly. I'll never forget that day on that old dusty porch with my grandad.
Thank you for posting this reaction. Such a brilliant song - simple but poignant - it was based on actual experiences from the bands' lives with respect to their moms and grandmas and the advice they got as kids and young men. Another Skynyrd song that is worth checking out is Working for MCA - it is pure, powerful, and features the usual 3 guitar harmonies so common with their music.
Southern rock at its best. Saw them live... in the Netherlands in 97. Check out Freebird the outtake version. The guitar solo is outstanding. Keep up the good work. Keep on rocking 🤟
Something oddly compelling about watching this lovely young lady react to the classics. She obviously knows the old truism: if it's good, it doesn't matter the genre -- rap, country, grunge, punk -- there is good music to be found if it comes from the heart.
That song came out in '73 and at 65 I still like it. Yes it has a timeless appeal. You must be all of 19 so here we are 40 something years apart good music is good in 1973 and still good in 2019. As Neil Young once said 🎼Keep on Rockin in the free world 🎶 Doesnt matter if it Lynyrd Skynyrd or Marvin Gay if it has a good message and a back beat that you can listen to and maybe makes you wanna move your feet it's all good.
Skynyrd is my favorite band of all time. Try Tuesdays gone, that smell,on the hunt, gimme three steps,comin home, Workin for MCA, ballad of Curtis Lowe, sweet home Alabama and of course Free Bird. Unfortunately we have lost most of the band may they all R.I.P. Lynyrd Skynyrd rocks nuff said.
I love songs that teach and inspire. This and Time by pink Floyd do this. LISTEN and learn. Wish I had realized this 40 years ago. Time flies....and every day matters.
I danced with my mom to this at my wedding. She told me that was all she ever wanted for me. I've been missing her for a couple of years now, but if I could tell her, I'd say is "I am." My eyes are sweating now.
Hello, Can l call you pink,forshort? So,I was touring youtube this morning and linked to you reacting to pink floyd. I was moved just as you were first"expérience"is.....no words can do them full hommage just close eyes, listen,enjoy the ride Anyway,one thing leads to another Lynyrd Skynyrd .my first time,too. Its ,thankyou so,so much !!..... Your reaction and appreciation I was moved,and l am also really moved by the song,for many personal reasons, from family,past,and future,this song for me is Hope. Mum knows,right ? musicaly its really simple,direct and sincere,after hearing this, I will be learning and listening to more of their music grace of you 😊!! I think we both will be surprised by what we discover,as I think with courage and heart thats what this song says to me anyway. I wish you get the oppertunity to see my comment.lwill be following your reactions by subscibing,they're great. Stay safe 😉
check out old Skynyrd.... Comin Home, One More Time, All I Can Do Is Write About It.....etc.... Endangered Species is their Acoustic album ....Enjoy and welcome to the Skynyrd fam .....
If you wanna check out Allman Brothers definitely listen to These 4 ABB Albums. Live from the Fillmore East (that double album launched their career) Eat a Peach, Brothers and Sisters, and Peakin at the Beacon. The best and the original Southern Rock by the inventors of southern rock. Then Check out. Tedeschi Trucks Band you'll like all of the above if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd
Duane Allman developed the early sound of the Allman Brothers directly from listening to The first Taj Mahal album. Actually Statesboro Blues was the second song on that Taj Album. Taj is incredible in his own right and was an inspiration to Duane Allman...well known story behind his learning slide guitar and that very album.
I recommend Steven Stills' "Black Queen" (it's about a card game) There are tow versions, the acoustic and electric. While I love both versions, I REALLY love the acoustic. Then, there's also "Treetop Flyer".
Yessss classic....You must follow this with the most famous rock at ever.. FREEBIRD!! HAS one of if not the most famous Gutiar solos EVER..Three lead guitars Going all out all at once it's a must pwease.... Also Tuesdays gone would be a good follow up as it is also about time passing and going on
I was just about to close out when you said our children should be listening to this. I had to stop and say thank you. Welcome to the Lynyrd Skynyrd rabbit hole. There's a lot of good advice in their songs. They sang about the real life they led
Oh, Skynyrd..."The Band Of The South"...that's right! They are ours!! We claim them!! LOL... I grew into a 39 years young man, down in the Beautiful South Carolina, from a " barefoot youngin' " running wild and free to the man I am today...with my own barefoot youngin' running wild and free... and of all that time Skynyrd was somewhere intertwined through all of it!! Ronnie His dad Lacy and Brother's Johnny and Donnie, Leon, Allan, Gary, Billy, Steve, and Casi Ganes, Artimus, Ed King...These dudes as I grew up, were like Royalty...or some awesome uncles that everyone loved, (maybe more than you could believe) ...if you even dared utter a bad word on them boys...you would have to leave carrying all your belongings with you as you go!... There's no making 2 trips...and nobody even gave a shit if you were only 12....you get your shit together and kick rocks!!! Needless to say...we don't trust anyone who bad mouths Skynyrd!!! R.I.P boys...thank you for all the years! Also, anyone, I forgot...and all the new blood that's come in throughout the years...We thank you all for keeping our band ALIVE AND WELL, ALL THESE YEARS! Thanx, to you also PinkMetalHead...enjoyed the video! So much more for you to discover with Skynyrd...hope you do that...no, not for me....but for you!!! God Bless-
Ronnie had some great songs that cover many issues in life. He was a real thinker and he cared about the people he knew and his fans. Another good song that relates to this one is "Am I losin." I guess you could say it's the other side of this.
What I take from this song; Remember where you came from, Stay humble, and appreciate the little things in life.
Javier Vasquez it's about faith and God's natural order of life!!! Love thy neighbor, as you love God. God, Family and Country!!

Yes but don’t forget, that’s a lesson from mom. Wisdom. ✌️
Phillip Jenkins my mum been telling me this my whole life ang so because of god’s love thru her I became that man.amen
Because if not you will always play with the Fire, and maybe get burned.
After 40 Years and 8 Years of Prison, i finally understand & feel this Song to the full. My Mum died when i was 9 Years old. But i know for sure, she would told me that.
R.I.P Mama, now i try and give my best to be a Simple Man!

Classic southern rock at its best.
RIP Ronnie and the boys. ✌
There was only one Lynyrd Skynyrd band. It died in Oct. 1977 when Ronnie, Casey and Steve died. Yes indeed, R.I.P.
@@finndog2759 Absolutely!
🤠✌
This band is my uncle favourite band, he died from lung cancer about 2 weeks ago and everytime hear this band it makes me think of my uncle
Nicki Collis I’m sorry for your loss!
@@PinkMetalHead it's ok Mona, but thank you
I am so sorry for your loss! Just know that he is with you when you listen to the music! 🌹
@@nickicollis593 sorry for loss .Know that Skynryd is the best .
Keep listening then ;)

This song brings me to tears every time.
Everyone should relate to this song right here. A 10 out of 10 classic.
Truth is truth, my friend. ❤️
I always enjoy yr sincere reactions..love from Australia
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands
Check out The Ballad of Curtis Lowe by Skynyrd, awesome jam!
Funny I thought you said Curtis Blow! Lol
@@loribrooks7273 That is funny!
@@jomamma1750 🤣oops!
I had Curtis Blow albums too lol
I am a Skynyrd freak! and that is my fav song... and Call me the Breeze!
You’ll never go wrong with Skynyrd. 💕💕
Thank you for your reaction, your opinion was spot on! This is the song I danced to with my son at his wedding for Mother/ Son solo dance. Very touching for everyone!
Beautiful song. Reminds me of my teen years listening to Lynard Skynard. Simple man, Freebird, and Sweet Home Alabama.
I like the positive reaction tou had to these lyrics. I'll start following you where I can. LOVE!
Great Reaction Nothing like some good old Classic rock
My BIL danced with his mom to this at the reception when he married my sister. His mom had raised him by herself and he is very much like what is described in this song. It was a heartfelt moment for sure.
I listen to this often just to remind me to stay on track, and not to get wrapped up in the rat race of life. It really helps.
The most Amazing song ever written, by one of the most Amazing Bands ever.. If the world lived by the message in the words of this song we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now... Thank you Ronnie and the entire Lynard Skynard Band for all the Wonderful Music you all gave us in the short time you were here...
Makes me cry most times I hear this tune
You are a class act, Ms. Pink. The greatest band EVER!!! Thanks for taking the time to get to know Lynyrd Skynyrd. Ronnie Van Zant was the consummate gentleman, wordsmith and down home country boy. 💗
Simple Man is the one most important song in my life and I live my life by it. I want it to be how I am remembered if there is anyone left to remember me
Same here ☺️
Tuesday's Gone. Beautiful Song...
Life lesson song right there. One of my other favorites is Gimme Three Steps....really clever and funny.
Gimme three steps is based off an event that involved Ronnie in Gainesville Florida.
One more thing: this is my absolute favorite song by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I used to listen to it on my kiddie record player when I was 7 years old back in 1983 lol! It had a message to me even back then.

Great Southern Rock Ballad. Glad u got to hear it. THX Pink.... You're cute as heck too!
I love your reactions, Pink. Thanks for the videos and keep it up!
Greetings from San Diego my dear, I just discovered your reaction videos. This classic being the first one. I've Subscribed, and look forward to seeing and listening to more.😊
Skynyrd is cool, as a child of the 70s I'm always down for some good 70s southern rock
You know it!!! I also am a child of the 70's and this brings back a lot of great memories.
We all hear music our own way. To me this is one of the most beautiful songs written
Thanks for the reaction hun!!! My mom dedicated this song to me when I was born and first put into her arms. I listen to it whenever I’m feeling really down etc....♥️☺️
One of my all-time favorites.
There is some amazing music out there and it crosses all boundaries....That's what great music does...
Freebird Live from Oakland.
Best guitar solo ever, and arguably one of the greatest songs and performances of all time
Oh most definitely!!!
Absofuckinglutely
It was a sad day in 1977 when the tragedy happened. Great band.
Great song! Classic!!
I like your vids but I had to see this. I raised my son on this song. Even when he's mad at mom he still loves this song - it always leads him home. Got to go dry my eyes now. Glad you liked it 😊

Hello PinkMetalHead. Thanks for sharing your reaction with all of us.
Yep. 🍻 One of their best. Thanks for reacting to it.
doesn't matter where you come from or what your sex is, nothing beats this motto!
Hope u liked it and I love your hair
Van Zant purposely wrote simple lyrics for his songs, as he believed it made them more universally understood.
One of my faves, for sure. Ty Pink

It`s just one of those classic rock songs you grow up with and still enjoy years later.
Nice reaction. I agreed with everything you said. Plus you are still looking so beautiful! That's a plus!
Something oddly compelling about watching this lovely young lady react to the classics. She obviously knows the old truism: if it's good, it doesn't matter the genre -- rap, country, grunge, punk -- there is good music to be found if it comes from the heart.
Very true! The heart is what makes the difference....
Another great reaction, Young Beauty. Keep on keepin' on, Dear.
My favorite Skynyrd song ❤❤❤❤
Pretty much how i react EVERY time i hear this. An absolute classic!
Great song,great message,great band.awesome as always pink.check freebird,gimme 2 steps ,that smell by skynyrd
Probably a typo but it's 3 steps, but yeah great songs
Lynyrd Skynyrd Saturday Night Time Special has an awesome drum intro.
Listen to the isolated vocal tracks to this song. It is amazing.
Definitely react to "Free Bird" live at Wembley. Totally amazing!! Love Lynard Skynard!
Janetjrfan Oakland!
J_Rab101 also great!
What a kick arse song!!, great song to review.
\m/ Excellent, excellent choice, Miss Pink. Skynyrd was one of THE best southern rock band there ever was. Great choice and great reaction. \m/ =D
Your Channel no, they were one of the greatest bands ever.
I really love your videos, you're so lovely !
There is a live version of this song. At the Oakland Collisium 1977.
That song came out in '73 and at 65 I still like it. Yes it has a timeless appeal. You must be all of 19 so here we are 40 something years apart good music is good in 1973 and still good in 2019.

this song always help me regulate when things r rough. classic.
My favorite song of all time. Just hits me in the feels.
A brilliant song that has a message that is true and meaningful.
Every time I check in on what you are up to, I am blown away by how beautiful you are. You only get more beautiful. Oh yeah...great song!!!
I love songs that teach and inspire. This and Time by pink Floyd do this. LISTEN and learn. Wish I had realized this 40 years ago. Time flies....and every day matters.
Tuesday's gone is another one of their great songs. There are so many great ones, You really can't go wrong with anything you choose.
The live version of Tuesday's Gone with the string section is a beautiful thing.
A good short upbeat Skynyrd song is Down South Jukin from their Gold and Platinum album.
Skynyrd screams “ ‘Merica “ baby.
One of the greatest songs ever.
Check out That Smell by Skynyrd. Awesome song!
mkwrockers0099 my favorite
The best song they have. And i love them all. Lol
Grand Teton and one of the barns on Mormon row in one of those pics.. love Skynyrd btw lol
I danced with my mom to this at my wedding. She told me that was all she ever wanted for me. I've been missing her for a couple of years now, but if I could tell her, I'd say is "I am." My eyes are sweating now.
Spirit - When I Touch You.
Uriah Heep - July Morning. Humble Pie - Live With Me. Uriah Heep - Paradise - The Spell.
greatest southern band ever..
I'm from New Zealand and I love this song it reminds me of Well ME
Gimme three steps. Great Skynyrd song!
SIMPLE MAN has a huge life lesson within the song !!!
Many great suggestions by others, but one that really stands out to me is "Things Goin' On" from their first album.
Still relevant to this day.
Hello, Can l call you pink,forshort?
So,I was touring youtube this morning and linked to you reacting to pink floyd.
I was moved just as you were first"expérience"is.....no words can do them full hommage just close eyes, listen,enjoy the ride

Gang Gang baby. I love your videos. Skynyrd is the best.
Hey beautiful, glad your liking Skynyrd. Check out Allman Brothers Whipping Post or Statesboro Blues. Just classic southern rock songs.
If you wanna check out Allman Brothers definitely listen to These 4 ABB Albums. Live from the Fillmore East (that double album launched their career) Eat a Peach, Brothers and Sisters, and Peakin at the Beacon. The best and the original Southern Rock by the inventors of southern rock. Then Check out. Tedeschi Trucks Band you'll like all of the above if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird.
Humble Pie - Live With Me.
Chris Stapleton covered this song live on tour. Only man to ever put me in tears.
This music is beautiful!
I recommend Steven Stills' "Black Queen" (it's about a card game) There are tow versions, the acoustic and electric. While I love both versions, I REALLY love the acoustic. Then, there's also "Treetop Flyer".
Everyone should own Stephen Still's album _Stills Alone._ One of the all time great acoustic albums.
Yessss classic....You must follow this with the most famous rock at ever.. FREEBIRD!!
HAS one of if not the most famous Gutiar solos EVER..Three lead guitars Going all out all at once it's a must pwease....
Also Tuesdays gone would be a good follow up as it is also about time passing and going on
Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You. Great 70’s tune
I was just about to close out when you said our children should be listening to this. I had to stop and say thank you. Welcome to the Lynyrd Skynyrd rabbit hole. There's a lot of good advice in their songs. They sang about the real life they led
This is a drinking song with drinking out of dixie cups out in the woods laidback kinda feel good song. 👍
So true just like that all can be gone. RIP Ronnie

Tuesday's Gone is a definite if you haven't already heard it. Freebird is a must for all rock fans, one of the greatest guitar solos ever!!
Love that tune
Ronnie had some great songs that cover many issues in life. He was a real thinker and he cared about the people he knew and his fans. Another good song that relates to this one is "Am I losin." I guess you could say it's the other side of this.
