- I do know the song "Simple Man", and have heard many covers of it including by Brent Smith and Shinedown. But I've never done a deep listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd's composition, and am excited to finally do that today.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she analyzes to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" for the first time.

Have a great trip!
we love watching you have fun with your expressions
Hope you have fun on your trip! Great reaction. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my favorite bands.
This was my great uncle’s favorite song.
When i first started learning guitar, he asked me to learn this. I went over to his house and played it for him, and needless to say he was so pleased. Fast forward to last November, he is on his death bed and they ask me to play it for him one last time. The pure emotion was something that cannot be recreated. Everybody was crying, knowing he was leaving us. The lyrics of the song bring so many emotions and feelings This song brings so many memories i’d love to relive
Sorry for your loss. It was a beautiful story
Your great uncle has not left you forever. There is a resurrection and you will see him again. 😄
@@ToddSauve amen, God bless
my condolences … I’ve personally lost 7 close friends, just this yr.; 4 of my classmates, 3 from other grades, over, and under mine. all buddies. it’s a fact of life that u dread, but can’t skip. ours is comin up, most likely sooner than later. just hope to meet them all on the other side. only 8 of us left from my Sr. classmates, buddies. we all played football together, and did most everything else as a crew, before and after graduation… and yes, songs that we jammed to every day back then, bring back lots of memories. those memories are great to recollect, but also tough to remember.
I suggest u keep those memories of u’r uncle close, and remember him often.
😢😢😢😢😢❤
The opening lines of "That Smell " are my favorite. Rock and roll haiku. "Whiskey bottle,brand new car,oak tree you're in my way..." Sets the scene and mood perfectly ❤
Love it. But even more " Double trouble"
And even more so, as it was based on stuff happening in the band's lives; felt like death might come callin' soon.
Pretty certain that line was about Gary Rossington.
Sure was because shortly before That Smell was written Gary Rossington hit an oak tree with his brand new Ford Torino after partying Ronnie wrote That Smell as a wake up call for the band
My mom passed in 98 when I was 25. Every time I hear this song, I swear I hear her voice just saying those same, simple lessons. Be content. Find joy over happiness. Love is better than gold.
It always feels a little bereft, and deeply comforting.
Hugs from a mom 🌌
This song can make the toughest southern man break into tears. Regardless of how big they are, they listen to their mamas and remember their words of wisdom from childhood. Skynyrd was a more diverse band than many people give them credit for. They tend to remember the hard rockin' power songs, but this is one of their greatest songs that is just as powerful. Please check out their best underrated song, "Comin' Home".
It finally hit me.
This band is kind of a combination of rock, country and the talking blues
@@MonkeyJedi99 Pretty much what southern rock is.
It's like Forrest Gump and his: "Mama always said..."
Thinking of my mom's advice will do it everytime.
Great call. "Comin' Home" is an underrated classic. "Am I Losin" is another.
As a Southern girl, I've always loved this song. But it took on even more meaning when I became the mother of a son myself.
Eu tenho quatro filhos e concordo💕💕💕💕💕
Skynyrd has always amazed me in how all 3 guitarists blended together so well. They always found their place in each song, made really smart decisions on how to accompany each other, and never stepped on each other’s toes. All were so skilled and yet disciplined enough to check their egos. Hard thing to do.
They really practiced their arses off, is how they always had such good blended harmony with their guitars.
The Outlaws had multiple guitar players , the song Green Grass and High Tides has a long guitar segment.
@jimb5045 Fun fact: In 1970 ish, my older brother was a member and was a the "roadie" for the Outlaws, before they were the Outlaws when they were just a cover band in Tampa. We had a 1980 VW micro bus, and I helped my brother fir & arrange the instruments (mostly the drums) into the VW. My brother figured out that the band only wanted him for the "roadie" issues that he provided and he left the band. He played a very wicked trumpet, so it didn't blend with the band's desire to go forward with Southern rock. What could have been...
Great point.
@@walter2990 And Ronnie had high demands. He was no doubt a big part of keeping everyone in their lanes.
She's gotta check out "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" next. GREAT song about an old blues musician.
Absolutely brother!!!!!!!!!
I agree that is an excellent song for her to analyze
She also needs to listen to some other Southern Rock Bands, 38 Special or Molly Hatchet, maybe the Allman Brothers.
One of my favorites
That is my favorite from these boys
I humbly request: The Ballad of Curtis Loew
Interesting fact about this song: the producer Al Kooper, at the time, did not like this song and didn’t want it on the album. After sometime of arguing about it, Ronnie Van Zant escorted Kooper out of the studio and to his car. He told him to take a couple of days off until they finish the song. Kooper ended up playing the organ on the song and admitted he was wrong.
"Get your lust for the rich man's gold" totally changes the meaning of the verse. It's "forget your lust...".
THANK YOU! Yes, what's being sung is "fo'get your lust" -- the word as written is "forget." Country-blues modifies those R's.
How could anyone think it's 'Get your lust for...'? I mean, are they even listening to what the song's about?
If you weren’t sure, the lyrics are printed on the gatefold of the original vinyl…
all that you need is in your soul,,, goosebumps after all these years.
@@cotadog4472 I get goosebumps on the first riff.
Allman Brothers...Whipping Post.
Marshall Tucker Band...Cant you See
❤❤
Whipping post, hell yeah 👍👍👍
One way out, Hot Lanta, Midnight Rider...
Actually like Frank Zappa's cover of Whipping Post better
@@christophertaylor9100 I was not aware of this. I'll be back...
I feel like she'd probably enjoy "Heard It In A Love Song" more simply because of the various instruments they use in that song.
24:57 - he didn't tumble over. That's string bending. Solo guitar technique where you bend the string to emphasize your emotions more. It literally cannot be pitch perfect if you're gradually bending the string & slowly going inbetween notes. It's basically a slow, often one-way vibrato. And I think it's beautiful. It hits me in the feels every time & feels so human and imperfect, yet so genuine. Basically, almost all guitarists use that technique during solos. Sometimes even during rhythm sections.
That is the blues. 😄🎸😉
An often overlooked Skynard song is "All I can do is write it in a song" about enjoying family and nature before "progress" covers it all in concrete. Very heartfelt song as this one is
one of my favorites.
It's a great song and unfortunately prohettically very true ,
Am I Losin, about Ed King leaving the band and losing their friendship.
My grandfather was never a big fan of "Rock Music", but he made an exception for this one. He always brought this song up anytime music was being discussed.
He passed away shortly after his 81st birthday in 2020, and when we left the graveyard and we first got back into our vehicle, this song came on the radio. Everyone in the car had eyes as big as a silver dollar.
Every time I hear this song, I think of him, and that moment.
We need a duel analysis of a song with Elizabeth and Rick Beato. Elizabeth covering the vocals, Rick covering the production and guitar/music theory.
NIGHT MOVES by Bob Seger. It's simply a Perfect song. Melts me every time. Especially now that I'm in my older years. Hits me hard!
One of the most unique and iconic voices of rock. I'd be happy for any of his big hits to get the CV treatment
@@lazurusknight2724 Heck yeah, live Turn The Page would be incredible too.
Like a rock also
Tuesday's Gone is another great song.
Ever since I was a kid, I. Loved. Hockey
Money itself is not evil, but the LOVE of money is where the problem begins.
Correct, the actual Biblical quote is "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil"
Money is necessary for us all to work together. Accumulating money for no other reason than to do so should be criminal, but generally isn't.
@@randallpetersen9164 - I agree. And there’s nothing wrong with using money to earn and buy what we need. It’s when we always want more, i.e. bigger, better, faster, that our hearts turn from one another to “stuff”.
Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, but people seem to always forget that so is Envy, why?
@@pulsarlights2825 So is rage
As a professional drummer, I look at the use of cymbals as the punctuation at the end of a statement. This song is a good example of that.
Tuesdays gone is what are my favourite songs by Lynyrd skynyrd
Absolutely!
If you from the south ya momma and your grannys (if lucky enough to have both) set your life. I was lucky enough to remember 2 of my great grandmothers and 3 of my great great fathers.
Tuesday Gone is Stunning 👌
100% right on! 😊 ❤
Tuesdays gone was my introduction to Lynyrd Skynyrd, through guitar hero.
Elizabeth if you love Skynyrd, you have to check out The Black Crows. They are personally my favorite southern rock band of all time. Chris Robinson has one of the best voices on the planet. The guy can sing rock, blues, gospel, you name it.
Hardcore Skynyrd fans loving getting to watch you appreciate the band more and more ❤❤❤
My uncle loved Lynryd Skynyrd. Shortly after he passed, I had a little fender bender. This was the first song I heard on the radio when I got back in my car. I swear it was him checking on me. Since that day, this song has always made me think of him.
Notice the lightning bolt over the head of the guy on the far right. (Ed King) That was not photoshopped or edited. That was actually captured when the photo was taken. Greatest Southern Rock band ever!
Saw an Ed King interview before he passed, he said he purposely stood off to the side a bit during photos- he felt like an outsider in the group
@@gilkaelin8590 Yep. He was from California.
I agree with a comment requesting you to check out .38 Special. They were formed by Ronnie’s younger brother Donnie Van Zant and Don Barnes also in Jacksonville Florida. Another great southern rock band.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was masterful at manipulating space in their compositions and arrangements. It's why if any common bar band just plays the chords and does a few signature riffs,, it doesn't sound nearly as good as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Because Skynyrd songs are usually a pretty complicated, if sometimes subtle, jigsaw puzzle. It's really high level arrangement, it really is.
My Mom never said these actual words to me but I am sure that she would have agreed with what is being said. I have tried to pass these words of wisdom on to our daughter. The world and everything around it is becoming so complicated.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome and one of my all-time favorite Southern Rock bands. And this is one of their greatest songs. Ronnie Van Zant, you’re a legend and such a master storyteller with your music.
Thank you, Elizabeth. Love your analysis, it really helps me to appreciate this song so much more.❤👍🤙
Oh. Elizabeth,
Thank you for your inimitable, brilliant analysis of this classic Skynyrd song.
I'm 80 years old this is my favorite song (along with Freebird) from one of my all-time favorite bands.
Southern Rock will never die - and Lynyrd Skynyrd will lead the way. 👍👍👍👍
I was fortunate to live through the golden age of rock music. These songs sure hit differently now.
So glad you returned to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Since you are enjoying southern rock I'd like to suggest the band Larkin Poe. The band is fronted by two southern sisters and with every song they demonstrate their extraordinary talent and dedication to their craft. Their live cover of Wanted Woman would be a great place to start or Blood Harmony from their latest release.
I love Larkin Poe!! Also some women blues singers such as Beth Hart, Samantha Fish and Danielle Nicole.
I agree, and Megan's slide guitar should be considered a "Voice," in its own right.
I’d second this and second a vote for Samantha Fish.
Lots of live performances for both on TH-cam as well.
I saw them in 1974 with Chicago and the Doobie Brothers. There was Ronnie VanZant prowling center stage in his bare feet. He didn't have the greatest voice I ever heard, that was probably Greg Lake, but he had a powerful stage presence. Musically, they were amazing.
What a great line up
I disagree. Ronnie's voice was perfection
This track and "The ballad of Curtis Lowe are two of my favourite Skynyrd song's ever, just beautiful ❤
Truer words have never been spoken, i have lived my by these words and still do 60 years gone.
This song always hits my feels. My great-grandmother used to tell me pretty much this. She said, "Aim for simple happiness, and you'll find the joy of living."
I was 11yrs old when this song was released...It's always been my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
Can't wait to hear this ❤ My all time favourite song and decribes me perfectly. Big LOVE.
This is one song when I hear it I NEED to sing along.
Bad Company also have a song entitled, Simple man. It's a real beauty for this channel.
The emotional connection between mother and child can be a beautiful thing.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is my definitive go to when someone asks me what classic rock is like. Really sums up that era for me. My parents listened to it and I didn't appreciate it whatsoever back then, but I did later on.
"I want my music to sound human". Totally agree. It's those imperfections that bring the music to life. A perfectly sung song can sound almost detached sometimes.
So pleased you did this Elizabeth, my favorite song by these guys. As I’ve grown older, this has taken a deeper meaning…just a fantastic song with thought provoking lyrics.
Lynyrd Skynyrd with the lineup they had from 76 until the plane crash in my opinion was the best band ever. They do things to my spirit not many bands have ever done. Such a talented & gifted bunch.
As you get older it gets better and better. Both my parents are gone now and those memories of them are all i have left. The simple life becomes more important. Life is too short to hurry through it so take your time. One one the best songs of all time in rock. Thank you for sharing.👍
Your SRV video just hit 1 million views!
Please check out Life Without You live at the Capitol Theater! You get to hear his voice a lot more and even see him accidentally pull his tooth out mid solo!
This song and Boston "Peace of Mind" offer a couple of the best life advice I think. I had my son listen to both with me and to this day he still listens to them and says they really helped put life into perspective.
I have always thought of this song and "It's a gift to be simple" as comparable in message. Style is way different obviously but it is amazing how similar they are in implication.
Never thought of that!
Absolutely love this song. This is the song I danced with my Mom to at my Wedding. She took me to my first concert, and it was a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert on the early 00’s. I agree with an earlier comment that The Ballad of Curtis Loew is fantastic.
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
In the fall of 1973 I first heard this song on the way to gig my band was playing. The drummer had an 8 track and pushed in the player and I was floored. "Simple Man" in particular has been somewhat an anthem for me ever since.
The "confined" quality of the intro guitar is an effect pedal called a Compressor. It's used in a lot of genres, but especially Country and Southern Rock.
Ah, here's a great tune. Not quite as overplayed as Free Bird. Great for vocal analysis by opera singers. 😉 Why not tuesday's Gone on Tues? 😁 #MamaToldMeWhenIWasYoung...
This is my favorite Skynyrd song and one of my top 3 songs of all time.
Great song, one song you really need to review by skynyrd is Sweet Home Alabama
Lynrd Skynrd had 3 guitars on stage, I think...the dealing leads was definitely a thing. It's amazing they could hold that all together. There's a live show of them at a festival in Oakland Stadium that's pretty interesting to check out.
Mmmm, Skynyrd and “Simple Man” I would call it a very good choice from Elizabeth! #Letsgettoit
One of the defining characters of music that stands the test of time, is that the instruments are played to service the song, and not the ego of the musician. The guitars are EXACTLY what this song needs. They aren't underplaying and they are not overplayed.
I couldn't love this song and the message any more than I do. It is spiritually perfect.
How many times can I get goosebumps in one video.
MOTLEY CRUE - WILD SIDE or KICK START MY HEART.
One of my all time favorites
I've listened to it for years, and it never gets old and always tugs at my heart!
Fantastic song! Can’t wait for your reaction! I’d also love to see your reaction to Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Bartender Live from radio city. A very powerful performance with two acoustic guitars and Dave’s vocals. I think you’d enjoy it
Anyhoo, I love the channel and keep up the great work! Thanks for the informative entertainment!
Fantastic song 👏 Ronnie is describing the type of men that the world needs more of❤
After this, I would LOVE your analysis of Tuesday’s Gone. Great job!
This is, and has been for decades, one of my all-time favorite songs. I heard this when I was a little girl and knew I would have sons someday. I have two amazing teenage sons now. ❤
Ten years ago I danced with my mom at my wedding to this song. I grew up with this music, but now to this day I cant listen to this song in particular without tearing up. It's so brilliantly simple and human.
Awesome song and as always, a very enjoyable commentary and analysis by Elizabeth. Attending the premiere for each video is great fun. Premieres are on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, beginning at 11 AM EDT (10 AM on Standard time).
I think this is definitely in the top 5 all time great songs! With a great message! I think he sings it perfectly!!imo..
That little solo section was a vamp on the chord progression.
Thank you for helping me appreciate this song even deeper than I could have imagined, after listening to it for 50 years since it came out in my high school years.
I love this song but I always change "Remember there is someone up above" to "Remember there is no-one up above" when I sing along because it means I have to take responsibility for my actions and their consequences. Everything else is 100% on point
I agree 100%, but you know most southerners especially can't handle that kind of personal responsibility without an escape clause.
Wouldn't it be more responsibility if there is somebody to actually answer to? To me the song doesnt work otherwise, because he talks about lust, souls and ither things that dont really matter otherwise
@@jacobfischer8385 "God works in mysterious ways" and "The devil tempts us"
Like Lemmy Kilmister said "No. Whatever I did, I did it"
So often you see people say that that bad thing they did was God teaching them a lesson or the devil tempted them. No YOU did it. YOU take responsibility for it
Allen Collins is always perfection. Whether playing lead or rhythm, he was amazing!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This song and this band blew me away when I first heard them back when I was a teen. Sadly Ronnie was long gone at that time and no band story has moved me as much as Lynyrd Skynyrd and their tragic story. I’ve always felt so saddened about it. But their music has had a fantastic impact on me and for that I am forever thankful. Ronnie is criminally underrated as a lyricist, he was a street poet of high caliber. Love his lyrics and vocals.
This song is to me is a proverb. Its message is true and timeless. Most bands have 1 anthem in their catalog, Skynyrd has 3: Simple Man, Free Bird, & Sweet Home Alabama. I so love your channel Elizabeth ❤
One of the best rock songs ever written ...
I like how the vocals rise above the music. It indicates to me that the message, is more important then the sound.
Hi, I often listen to various reactions, more or less technically valid, we often say nice and engaging but not too much more. Then I listened to you on one of my favorite songs and I have to say you are amazing. Beyond the incredible empathy you convey and the obvious heart and soul you have, you are truly, truly excellent at technical-instrumental analysis and everything that the group had inside. Now I love this song even more, because thanks to you I understood it even more....you have an understandable and engaging way of communicating, and how you get emotional and make you emotional....when you dissect everything is simply unique. ...extraordinary!!!
i love Lynyrd Skynyrd, favorite band, sadly im to young to have seen them live (born in 86). but they were my first concert I ever went to in 03 and was amazing... i would love to see you react to gimme back my bullets. ronnie almost feels like a different singer in that song and so much grit and power coming through his voice is truly amazing... so sad the world lost out on one of the most amazing singers. I'm sure he knew that he didn't have the best voice, but in every word he sings, you can feel the love and passion for music that he truly had.
I just saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert with ZZ Top back in March in Knoxville TN and it was just so nostalgic. It's definitely not the same without the original band members and they're definitely getting up there in age these days, but people still showed up to support one of the best southern rock bands ever. When this song came on the whole arena was just singing along at the top of their lungs lol. Ronnie died when I was just a baby, but my mom was a huge classic rock fan and I heard this band almost everyday of my childhood. It was such a treat to get to take my 67 year old mom to see them in concert one more time. You could just see the pure joy on her face while she had her eyes closed singing every word to every song. It was pretty epic.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. My mom told me to understand this song when she was dying of cancer. I already knew the song but it means so much more to me now. I love lyrics. The lyrics in this song are golden.
Great deep dive reaction Liz. I've always thought Ronnie had an ''earthy' and honest sounding voice, maybe knowing he's from the south and the slight twang in his delivery. Buty also knowing Ronnie was a tough guy and a 'brawler', his style to me was one of "this is how I feel and that's how I'm going to sing it", pitchiness and imperfections be damned. It's that 'humanness' that you don't hear very often in today's music.
To me, it always felt that the band was walking up to the listener from all sides, like they were surrounding the listeners for their own private concert.
For me it drove the "life lessons" vibe of the song home even further
My favourite uncle loved this band. And this song tells a story I could have seen involving my uncle and grandmother. The night of his funeral, a bunch of us got together in a cousin's garage. Beer was had, stories were told, and a bunch of my musically inclined relatives started to play. One cousin started this one on guitar and and said this song always reminded him of my uncle.
To this day, I get a lump in my throat hearing this song.
Ed King, a personal friend of mine, was playing bass on this song instead of his Stratocaster, as he did on several songs in this album.
RIP Ed King ❤
My desert island song is “Spirit of Radio” by Rush. Your video on it was excellent. It was like listening to it fresh for the first time again. Thank you.
One of my favorite Skynard tunes. So much of their portfolio has stood the test of time
A lot of people don’t realize that Lynyrd Skynyrd had been together since the mid sixties. When they really hit the scene in 1971 they already had their sound polished and together.
Your points are excellent, but your constant interruptions prevent a grasp of the of the tune, especially if we have not heard it in a while.
I can not wait for her to hear this. Particularly since she is a new-ish mom. Plus I freaking love this song!
I like the song musically, but the message of this song is mixed. The call to not "forget (son) there is someone up above" and "not (to) lust for the rich man's gold" reminds us of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:24 that man can't serve both God and money. But to call us as humans "to follow our heart and nothing else" is wrong advice, since in Jeremiah 17:9 we are told that the human heart "is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?" Much better advice is to trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, follow Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Ever since you you introduced me to Shine Down ( i know, right?) with the reaction to Brent Smith's version I was hoping that you would break down the Skynyrd original. You never disappoint.
My God, your'e so spot-on that it makes me cry cry...many thank's for the insight for very good song from the begining❤❤❤❤🤘
AS MUCH AS I LOVE SHINEDOWN, MY 2ND FAVORITE BAND EVER, NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT THIS VERSION OF SIMPLE MAN, THAT SOUTHERN SOUND FROM SKYNYRD JUST MAKES THIS SONG HIT YOUR SOUL DEEEEP
My desert island song is "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings. Three fun songs in one!
The live version of this is AMAZINGz a must listen
Would love for you to analyze whipping post by the allman brothers band, the best jam band in the world,in memory of Elizabeth Reed is a great jam no vocals only killer music
This one holds a special place for me. I'm getting married next month and I'm planning on using this song (possibly the shinedown cover) as my mother son dance since my mom always associates this song with me since I'm the youngest kid and also the only boy.
This song grounds me as a human. It’s just so “ humanized” do to the lyrics. Tears n family come to mind when I hear this song. Love it!!!! Thanks Elizabeth 👏👏
You know what would be neat, Monday august 5 is alopacia awareness day. Joe Lynn turner of the early 80s incarnation of rainbow, he also was in a 90s version of Deep purple and was on Ywngwie Malmsteen’s rising force : Odyssey (a very rainbow esque album that flirts with power metal). a good singer with very pretty upper register. Mr. Turner has been slick bald with out hair since the 60s(has alopacia totalis -has no hair and cant grow it) wore fake eyebrows and wigs for decades on stage, he just last year started not wearing the wig and only wearing it when he feels its right.
