My son passed away Friday 8/5/22 on his motorcycle and as I lay here passing the time thinking of him this song comes across my feed. I’m an old man and didn’t know who shinedown was until today. I’m hoping Terran sent this to me to let me know he’s okay it’s a beautiful song. RIP Terran Scott Brady, Born 9/15/97 Standing next to Jesus 8/5/22. Daddy loves you!
And he loves you Oso very much. Terran died doing what he loved we should be all so lucky. Sleep well knowing he is in a great place.
Praying for you and your family. I’m sure he was a kind man, and I’m sure you raised him to be the perfect man. Rest easy Terran, and live peacefully Scott ❤️
Condolences Mr. Brady. You have to know that you will see and hold him again.
I'm so sorry
8/5/22 was my 30th birthday and one of the most depressing days of my life. I know that's irrelevant to your son's death. I wish you healing and good vibes. The hurt never goes away and I sincerely wish you have or find someone who you can share his memory with
this guy sings with so much fucking passion
got a problem
@@hookgameing2151 did that comment go over your head.
He screams the vocal. That is hardly singing. It's Simple Man on steroids and growth hormone. It's a disgrace.
@@jaxflfreebird so is your face
@@jaxflfreebird screw you
Lost my mom yesterday and I am sobbing listening to this song. It was just me and her when I was growing up and this song just hits so close to home. Thank you for this song.
Very sorry for your loss ❤
Hold fast brother
I'm sorry for your loss my brother, may she rest in peace. Hold on and cherish those memories.
Sorry for your devastating loss! My mother passed away at the young age of 54, and my sister in her early 40's. Cherish your memories and write them down so you always remember them!!! Stay safe and prayers 🙏🙏 🙏 for you! My mother raised me and my 2 sisters by herself! I truly miss her everyday 😢!
Thank you, everyone, for the support.
A wise man once said, "when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when your broken you understand the lyrics"
❤
I feel that so much right now.
Feel like life will get better...
That wise man new what he was talking about bc I listen to this type of music if I feel lost or in my depression and or when I'm weighing out the good and bad wanting to just throw my hands up and say f*** life... I am so tired of life.. I just wish I could go back and change alot but I can't and I never
You made me just fight back that tear just now reading your comment… damn man 🫡🙏
When my Mom died I was so lost and hurting so bad I i just wanted to be numb so I starting doing drugs heavily 1 night I was at a trap house getting high and when this song came on I turned up the volume and closed my eyes and just listened and for the 1st time in a while I felt hope. Today I’m in recovery 10years clean and I still listen to this song when I need to clear my mind and find my happy place!
Wow that’s the shit! I’m super proud of you. I need to do the same. 😁
Keep going on strong! Just know that there's people who are proud of you! ♡
Congratulations I know it is very tough to go through but have never experienced drug usage but I bet a lot of families will think you are a good role model I’m happy for you👍👍👍
Its easy to give up, as most know, its the courage, will, an desire thats hard to gather which makes doing the right thing so dang hard for alot of people, from past, present an will be the future.
Just remember on the sad days your achievements if many or only one that truly matterd an today it was that which allowed you to survive Too today, so just maybe you can make time for the one whos alone an needed or needs inspiration from You so they to can live a tomorrow. Bless you an keep up the great work of surviving!
Hi I was wondering if you could help me with something
My mother always sent me this song when I was being a hard-headed shit growing up, and now that sh'es gone just that opening lick on the guitar brings me to tears. I love you mom, thank you for everything.
Zac Sells I play this for my sons and hope that when the day comes and I’m no longer here, they will play this and remember our good times. My oldest son was hard headed as well during those teen years, we moms love you guys through it all. I’m sorry your mom is no longer here with you 💙
I've lost my mother 5 year's to the day. My mom used to play the Bob Seager version. Still hits home. Always be a simple kind of man someone that can love and understand. So much wisdom. But flown under the radar till it's too late.,.. love what you can while you can.. you really never know when you're straw will be picked
Zac Sells ❤️❤️❤️
My mom sent this song to me a month before she passed in a email I never opened it until she passed and I got home from some troubles I was in brings me to tears every time I hear it
Zac Sells I send this to my 20 year old son all the time. You brought me to tears with your comment. As Moms all we want is to make sure that our kids know we love them. I can’t tell your Mama loved you. 💕
Even though this cover is years old,
Sometimes there’s a voice that was meant for the song.
Shine down was able to bring back a old classic back to life ❤
Rocked it out of the park ❤️
that old classic, may be worth a second look. ,,, maybe.

I've spent many nights listening to this song as my husband thinks of his mom. She was the youngest of 8, her brothers went off to vietnam and he grew up listening to her music. He's the youngest of 4 and is about to turn 32. This is the version he closes his eyes and listens to after a few drinks.
I love this song my husband passed 31 years ago, he loved this song, and so do I
Jensen Ackels also made an amazing cover to this song

Thank you Shinedown for creating a remarkable version of a truly brilliant song.
It never gets old beautiful to keep the great songs rocken
My sister passed away in 2015 she raised me when we were younger and this was her favorite song and i sang this at her funeral. Couldnt do it without crying but i tried. I miss you sis. Love you
Jesus Christ they just want to share something with the world and show there appreciation for the song so stop being hardheaded ass holes and show some respect
@Nexus Autelias I'm sure your sister misses you and is watching over you. I know it must be hard to lose a sibling. I could only imagine, but I can't hope to understand. I REALLY do hope that you feel better. Also, it was very very sweet of you to sing your sister's favorite song at her funeral. Im sure that she would've wanted it that way. Stay strong and keep her memory alive. That's the beauty of memories and ideas, they never die as long as they're carried out by at least one person. In other words, your sister is alive in you and all those that loved her. ❤❤❤
Meh damn you can really tell you haven’t lost someone important to you because if you did you would actually have a heart also if these comments annoy you so damn much don’t read them
Meh I can tell u have been harmed in some way but hurting other people isn’t gonna help you through it dude
Nexas Aurelias I’m sorry for your loss I pray god gives you the strength to help you through tough times
I play this for my son who's been bullied for having autism 😥 but keeps pushing through and is a senior #2020
I'm so sorry that your son is bullied. How cruel people can be. A beautiful song to have him listen to . Sending love....
Sherrie Kimberly browneyedgurl Linton good job mom.
@@stephengarcia8806 thank you so much
@Chastin Siegel well thank you so much, my grandson does too ,and granddaughter is showing signs now .I've seen suppose to be grown ups bully my grandson and this grandma don't play. I cry alot for them, but they have amazing hearts !! Much love your way too!
Keep up being a loving parent and watch your rise above those that bully him
My son died 2/24/23. Man I wanted the world for him. I had almost 31 years with him. His memory will always be with me.
My heart and Prayers are with you today. I know today is the hardest of days for you. Nothing I say, or anyone says can change that... but I hope this helps a little. Love and Blessings always. 💪❤🙏💯
2024. Fuckin classic.
My dad was a small time vocalist, and this was one of his favorite songs. I remember the day I told him about Shinedown remaking the song, "That song is a masterpiece that should be left alone" after about a week I finally convinced him to sit down and listen to it. First and only time in my life I saw my father cry.
RIP
Awh that's a so sad : ( if I seen my dad cry I would cry to ngl but I'm 13 and the shine down version is great but the original is better and always be but I do like this one my dad loves this one
@@Elianarenee474 I think my father would've agreed, regardless, great song.
Blessings
It should of never been re done by this band at this time. This is puke tastic
Good Man
If you’re listening to this in 2020/2021 you’re a legend
Sure am.

Damm right

My dear son died in our home on the floor. He was an addict. For 8 years 24 hours a day I did everything I could to pull him from this life. Before his addiction we were inseparable. We did everything together he was my best friend. Never for a moment did I believe his life would end this way. We raised him to love our family to help others to understand rite from wrong and to learn from mistakes. My heart is completely broke my life will never be the same. I'd take 10 years off my life to hug him one last time. I've learned so much most importantly I've learned life is fragile, we are not promised tomorrow. We go to sleep at night and just assume tomorrow will be the same or better that the sun will rise.
But please believe me our life and world can be a place we don't understand or recognize in an instant.
My son dies every day and I pray no one will ever experience the pain, emptiness, and hurt we have.
Be grateful every day with humility and thankfulness
God bless
I will be praying for you. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Addiction is one of worst evils of this world. I lost my brother to it and my life was never the same. I hate that this happened to you and wish there was some could do to change it. Your pain is horrific I am sure and all those who want to help cannot... prayers to you and your family
He knows. 🙏
💪❤🙏💯 Love and Blessings Brother. We will all be together again soon enough. I thank God every day for His Son... and for my son. Jesus Christ is the way to heal. ML always my friend. I am certain your son knows how much you love him. Thank you for sharing.
Tku deeply for your kind words. The horrible thing is our church of 20 years completely turned their back on us. Our pastor never called sent a note nothing. We had no where for his memorial. No one to offer spiritual guidance no one to hold our hand and pray with us. I have yet to find it in my heart to forgive him. I know what Jesus says and try to live for Him but I have such a hardened heart against this man
We are not promised tomorrow.
If more people understood this, we'd live in a better world.
My son died 6 years ago. He took his own life. We played Simple Man at his funeral. Its my go to when he's on MY mind. I grieve music makes it better.
Lost my Mom on August 17, 2020. She gave me her wisdom and love. I live a simple life Mom and i have you to thank for that
My condolences brother. Time these days is so short but we persevere threw the pain. She is a better place . No doubt looking down on you. Its a lesson we all have to learn. Appreciate what you got while you can. Sending a prayer up for you my friend
Sorry for your loss. I can relate I lost my mom at a young age in 2004. I remember little. However I’ve become a strong younger man and now have a beautiful daughter named after her.
God bless you and she is in heaven looking down on you
@@powerranger6649 we need more people like u in this time right now my family is going through some things and people are loosing hope so, thank you 🙏🏼
Everytime I here this song, I think of a good friend. 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan messed him up. A country boy from WV. I wish there was more I could have done for him. RIP my brother
RIP brother
Rest In Peace fallen soldier, I thank you and him for your guys service
Billy????
No
Im not in the service but i have alot of respect for the men and women who sacrifice so such for the nation. RIP, thank you for your service, rest easy.
I always played this for my Son when he was growing up. He's all grown up with a wonderful wife, and 2 beautiful daughter's. My dream for him to be a Simple Man has been fulfilled. I couldn't love him more for following his heart, and making his dreams come true ❤️
I'm almost 60 years old now but still rock this song. I had two wonderfully creative sons. My oldest passed at the very tender age of 20. I played the original version to both of my boys. Rip Markus Christopher Sturgeon
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day…Stay Safe!
Rest in heaven may you Markus godbless your soul and your family
I am listening to this song on mothers day here at the cemetery visiting my mom holding back the tears. I hope I am living up to the man she wanted me to be....
💜
@Spotts Outdoor and Survival S.O.S.
The fact that you visited your mom's grave on Mother's Day, and played this song, leads me to believe you are absolutely living up the the man she wanted you to be.
May happy memories comfort you.
I wanted my son 2 learn from this song an the meaning but he chose a wrong path
❤️
Stay strong she’s proud of u
My son passed away on October 30th, 2018, and my heart still aches because I miss him so much. He loved this group, Shinedown and this is what brought me here. Mommy still loves you Tyler!
I’m so sorry for your loss! The loss of a child is by far the most pain a parent will ever encounter, unfortunately I feel your pain I lost my 24 year old son in August. Tam remember to look for signs from Tyler he all around you and he loves you so much! May God bless you and ease your pain and let you rejoice knowing Tyler is with Jesus now! 🙏
Damn, I lost one my son's April 2021. Thought it gets slightly easier but relive the day at random moments. Time doesn't care. Hope you have friends and family near by.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
hope you found peace
I’m so sorry for your loss. He lives on through those that loved him.

My apologies for your loss 😔. I hope you can take solace that he is now protecting from above with God's might. May time heal the pain! 😌

Yup
Heard tonight, they have released a new track... and aparently touring in Bethleham??
My son passed away 09/16/17 n when I first heard this song I cried my eyes out now when I hear this song I know he is talking to me. Til we see each other again son. RIP SHORT.
I lost my brother to suicide this weekend. As we were driving home today, Mom told me she has always thought of him when she's heard this song, any version. From now on, I will as well. Rest in rock, Yacob!
I may not know your brother but i do hope he rest in peace and that you and your mother find the strength to go on without letting anything stop you.
I am so sorry for your loss!
I'm very very sorry that for your loss, I just lost my grandma not too long ago, so I fdel your pain
I just lost my nephew to suicide 💔 my condolences to you and your family~this song has and always will be my favorite & like you said "any version" God Bless ya!!
@@erindudley5599 it's rough, but family, friends, & neighbors have made these last almost two weeks bearable.
I buried my dad to this song last year( original version ). He was 49 and we had a very bad relationship. We’re both stubborn which didn’t help. Hope he knows I’m sorry ... see you again one day old mate.
Angelo Salamon not sure why you words made me tear up. All parents know when you love them and when you're sorry without words. Be easy on yourself.
Angelo Salamon it’s ok 🥺 keep your head up😭😭
We all go through things in life that dont really make sense. We all know that your pops is up there smiling at the person that you've become today. Dont ever let anyone tell you that you cant do anything or that something is to difficult to achieve. Set yourself a goal, no matter how big or small it is, and fight like hell until you achieve it. Even though you guys may have ended on a bad note, that doesnt mean that hes not proud of you. I hope you achieve many things in your lifetime and I'm praying for you💚
Buried my father 6 years ago. Shot himself after personal conflicts. We never had a good relationship at all. So I feel ya. Keep your head up and strive to do better then he's ever seen or imagined .
That’s too young. He knows. And if he don’t tell him. Never too late
Here I am a year ago I lost a good friend almost lost my dad and have been through hell and back and I listen to this song to remind me to keep going and to fight and not roll over
Same brother stay strong keep ur head up ur a badass brother amen.
Chin Up brother, love you. It's never over until your last breath. People need you, even the ones that don't realize it. Your more more important than you or others will realize.
I’ve struggled all my life with depression I’ve heard this song before but didn’t know the name idky after 22 years it came to me now but I’m thankful it did. To everyone struggling with depression and anxiety just know you’re not alone
Stay positive never give up
Keep your head up bro, life gets hard, so fin hard sometimes but just know it gets better, I promise
Listening to this song and reading the comments makes me value and appreciate life and loved ones, it makes me sad that so many of you have gone through such rough times losing loved ones. It makes me appreciate my life and family in a way that you guys will never know.
Thank you
I do. Life is s fickled bitch! All you can do is stay strong on that ride! Respect and love is all that matters!
Amen

Lost my brother April 21 of last year and this was my brothers favorite song!! Every time I hear this beautiful song I feel his presence I miss him so much
Sorry for your loss Matthew. Whenever you are missing him he’s missing you! I hope he sends you signs often to let you know he’s okay. Good bless you and your family! 🙏
Hugs 🌹
Sorry brother. I too have lost my brother in 1996.. I was 24 and he was 26. The sting is unforgetting. And He will always live with your memory of him! Hang in there.
So much love to you 💞
I lost my brother 12/13/2022......if only we had listened to my grandmother
This version of this song was what my son and I danced to at his wedding. Makes me cry every time I hear it. It’s an amazing cover.
My mom and danced to this version at my wedding too
It made me cry to haha
My son picked this song for our dance at his wedding also, and I meant every word.
It's the best cover since the original you're right I love it it was me and my mom song

Bless ur soul my condolences
I lost mine a year ago.. I still look for him..honey u r in my prayers and hugs
So sorry for your loss.
I swear this song reminds me of sooo many conversations me and my grandmother's shared. Be a simple kind man. Luv u big mama and pretty lady
I have been struggling with life ever since my father first got ill in 2017 and died in 2021. I've been looking for answers on how to turn things around. I found them in this song I just listened to for the first time. God is Good, and God is Great!!! RIP, Dad. I miss you and Love you!
I lost my mother when I was an emergency c-section. I never got to meet her, hug her, or hear her real voice and never will. It’s been hard coming to terms with that. But rock and metal have helped me so much. I got to see Shinedown live and it was fantastic.
Edit: I was also 4 months premature but luckily I have full health. I was born 2.8lbs and the next morning I was 3.1lbs. It’s crazy to me that I’m even here and thanks for all the support.
U will hear her when u see her in heaven
So many things can help people in ways nobody else understands, and that is what i love so much about music
Profound message to a beautiful song...as a Mom I believe she would approve! When I had my kids I thought about this song too. It surely reiterates what my parents said to all (12) of us.
Hey man keep ur head up
Damn that's real im sorry
I rarely think remakes are better than the original, but this is epic.
All of shinedowns songs are
@@timemory8323 I am a fan. You get no argument from me. I love SHINEDOWN.
@@copp214 thank
I love how this is a remake that didn’t stray far from the original, just gave it that Shinedown touch that made it a stronger song emotionally. Love Lynard Skynard and Shinedown, both amazing bands.
@@justingrandpre7919 Yes. I have music by both bands. Both have their own flavor. The only thing for me is that I favor SHINEDOWN.
My little sister loved this song. It’s been 7 years now since she passed but she lives in me as I listen and as time pasts. Love me, I’ll love you back❤️
One of the greatest remakes in musical history !
Amazing 💝
@@Xennnos oo
You should also listen to Disturbed and their rendition of "Sound of Silence"
@Sumsara I have and it is good 👍
Totally gives me the chills! LOVE it!
I listen to this song everytime that I get depressed, it reminds me of the fact that my mother would want me to be strong and march through and seek happiness.
Let me me give you a little insight, my parents divorced when I was in elementary school. I worked 2 jobs while going to high school. My mom played this song after being diagnosed with cancer which she did pass from just before hurricane Katrina. I have since met met a woman that I would give my life for and we have a beautiful daughter together.
Now as far as the pussy part goes, 12 years as a bouncer and 28 years as a repo man. I promise I am far from a bitch.
Moms always want us to go on. I can say after losing my mom in March it’s been extremely hard but sometimes it most times thru music I can relax or let my emotions out and it usually feels better.
Life gets better not sure when but it does. Keep ur head up
@@daveyoung9203 , As strange as it sounds I think about my mom and this song comes to mind. She always urged me to work hard and be the best man I could be. She passed 3 weeks before Hurricane Katrina, I now have a loving wife and beautiful 4 year old daughter.
I understand your pain and it takes a long time for it to begin to slowly lessen.
Just remember that there is someone up above. I still battle demons on a daily basis.
@@daveyoung9203, my friend I completely understand your feelings. Sometimes the best way to release your pain is through music.
I do the same thing this was my step dad's favorite song he took his life in 2014 and I'm a huge skynyrd fan this is in my opinion the best cover of it
It's hard to make a cover and have it add more depth and emotion than the original. To do this with one one of the greatest songs ever written is something on it's own level of legendary.
Legendary are who the original's are who lived it cuz they wrote it...makes him great in his own time I agree but
Adds to his legacy of how beautiful life can be but sad in its end qnd how shirt their primacy is
I'm an ass you worded it better🙂 it's kinda like someone offering grandma's apple pie...it's applepie yet it's just not grandma's
Original is much better
@@justingauthier1788 i would agree. i do really love the vocals on this cover, but skynyrds guitars make the song feel whole
I think that it's amazing that no matter who you are or how your life is going we can all stop and feel the pure emotion that resonates within us all through this song
They played this song at my moms funeral. She passed when I was 9 years old. I miss that woman so much.
best remake ever on this song, beautiful voice
Speaking of beautiful
Its ok hank Williams Jr still does my favorite cover of this song
I think it would be incredibly difficult to mess this song. One of the most beautiful songs ever!
omg yes!!
If it isn't it's equal to any other cover
Still jamming in 2022, never let the times dictate what u listen to!
The music is in your heart & soul CLASSIC ROCK will Live Forever!!
legendary voice
Same here
This song is HORRIBLY COVERED. This is why shinedown had to disappear and reinvent themselves. They SUCKED BALLS
Its really not that deep bro
Love it
2-028-2006 is the worse day of my life what is when I lost my mom and this song keeps getting right!!
Sorry for your loss bro. All I can say is I know how you feel, and it will get easier. RIP
The only band that could have covered this song period..
Deftones was pretty amazing
I wouldn’t be mad if seether covered it
Agreed!!!
THEY BUTCHED THIS SONG
@@guessagain-et1rg they put real soul into it you just are a little bitch
My husband of 23 yrs passed away 1 1/2 yrs ago n loved the original version of this song, so at his funeral we BLASTED it as his casket was taken out to the hearse...he was the baby boy of 5, 6th out of 7 kids total, n my man WAS a simple man, we live in the country, he did tree work all his life, loved camping n anything outdoors, we had what we needed n were happy as long as we had each other...we have a 26 yr old daughter n a 10 yr old son who are more into the "music" of their generation...you know the kind, as long as it rhymes it's on the radio... I recently heard this version n it BLEW ME AWAY!!! So needless to say, when my son gets back from visiting my in-laws in Texas, THIS is the one n only version I'll be playing for him from now on!!! Love n miss you with all my heart n soul babe, n I'm trying to raise him to be a simple man, just like his daddy, n I hope we're all making you proud.... 💞💔 J.L
@M&M PRIME thank you so much...I never knew there was a pain like this, a crippling earth shattering settled down into my bones kind, n the only thing that saved me from suicide is our son, who had just turned 9 at the time, n daughter, his from another but love her like mine... I'm trying my best to raise him to be a simple man just like my husband, but it is so hard with all these kids thinking they NEED the latest I phone, X-Box, virtual reality, n other things pushed on kids these days n parents ( I do unfortunately) are feeling like shitty parents if they can't, don't or won't get their kids these things so they don't get made fun of or bullied for not having these things!! I TRY telling him that he doesn't NEED to have all that crap, THAT'S not what life is about... it's about loving n appreciating what you DO have, standing up for others n yourself, n knowing, feeling, n Believing that he's just as good as the other kids whether he has those things or not!! Yeah I've gotten him a few of the things that's pushed on kids (really the parents cause they're the ones buying the stuff) but I don't get them cause I think we need to ”Keep up with the Joneses", or to impress a bunch of 10 yr olds, n lots of times I've told him No, then waited a few weeks or months to get it, cause my ass don't need to impress NOBODY! Nothing's worse than seeing your child hurt, sad, sick or disappointed, but he needs to know it's all just stuff, none of it really matters....what does matter is how much we love each other n how many hugs, kisses n I Love You's I can give him/get from him from the time he gets off the bus until he goes to bed every single day.... That's the kind of simple man I'm trying to send out into the world in a few years....sorry I rambled on 🤐
Be strong
Bless you great women.happy trails
You are
Very few comments have me shakin up but urs did. I wish u all the best. Just remember he is watching after u guys. I only wish to live my life as a simple man an find the love of my life i have yet to find..maybe soulmates dont exist for me nor love
Ronnie himself is proud of this. What Brent has done for this song is beautiful. Both of these men both living and the other on the other side are saving souls with their music. Thank you, Dad for my first album being of LynSkyn and thank you Brent and the rest of the Shinedown crew. You've helped me from day one since I came home overseas. Please don't stop working. Because I need more art like this guys. Need it.
Well, I never have commented on anything on the internet anywhere - why? I'm feeling a little emotional tonight (this song always does it to me). My heart aches for a family friend (he and his little family will always be part of our family) who is a young man with a young man he is raising finally after a strenuous court battle for custody. I can tell he is so proud, and doesn't want to fail now that he has his boy. Hard on himself, as well as his boy cause he grew up with no Mama and Daddy, only Uncle who raised him (and a fine job doing), they are all still together, and doing well. I just wanted to give him some simple advice. Listen to this song Josh, respectfully, Shinedown does a wonderful heartfelt rendition; relax and "don't live too hard" my friend, life will workout. You are a great Father and your parents would be very proud of the Man you are raising their Grandboy who has all your great qualities. "Take it slow" though, you have been waiting for this time, and here it is, enjoy it and don't let it pass by! I say to you too, this....Never Give Up! My Sons - Johnny Henry and Jake Lee, I know you won't, you haven't ever! Always Lovin' Y'all! Peace, Mama (Sunflower) May2024_Levy County, FL
2022. I miss how the times were when I used to listen to this.. his voice still pulls something pure from my soul, in such an infectious world.
Hell yeah 🍻
Same music hasn't been that great since the early 2K era. Still listening to older music without any joy of newer music
Yea my mom's song to me....
Lost my mom recently and she liked this song too. I know this would be what she wants for me . Miss you mama ! Love you and I'll do the best I can and know you are with me
So we’ll said
My mom made this our song at my wedding. She died almost 2 years ago and when I hear this song the whole world stops, and I stop and I listen. Even after death I still feel like we’re together on the dance floor sharing that moment with no care in the world. Just mother and son. I love yu momma.. R.I.H
Thats beautiful dude. Me and my mom are super close and I cant imagine what I'm gonna do when she's gone. God bless my friend. I know your mom is an angel looking down my friend.
She's your angel now your not alone I lost my son I pray that today a year later your smile is beautiful and amazing things have happened for you God bless you 🌹
Always
Loved this song my whole life, but really heard it for the first time after my dad passed 😢
"Follow your heart. And nothing else."
No fucking lyric, or statement, has ever influenced me more.
I think of my son's when I hear this. I want this so much for them. Be a simple man. Be satisfied. Be happy my babies, be happy. If you find this comment when I am gone, I lived for you. ❤ Do the same for your children.
They know
sons'. Son's refers to just one. ;)
I completely agree! I've Always thought of my boys everytime I have ever heard this song! Be good decent men to society! Love this song! I Love You to my 3 son's! Forever and Always! ❤❤❤
I want my son to be a simple man his father my husband is complicated and I’m simple he looks like me acts like me so he will be simple I pray
Love this version of simple man absolutely moving
Yep, wasnt expecting that flood gate of tears to come. Tears are soap for the soul. Really excellent version of the classic!
Permission to steal the tears are soap for the soul. So true... casually yet healingly wailing into the duvet.
My daughter who just turned 4 months old stops crying instantly when hearing this. Song
Mine too she's 2 now but this song would calm.her and she'd fall asleep
Thats cute
The irony is I do the opposite..
adorable. she obviously has great taste!
😊💚🕊🕊🕊🇮🇪
For those reading this, times may be tough right now. All around the globe people are struggling from disease to hardship, to corona virus, but time will get better trust me! I've been alone most my life but struggle has been my greatest success! Cheers
Jake Janzen tired of it!
“Troubles will come and they will pass”
Yeah, Coronavirus, influenza with a federal deficit...
Cheers my man
Jake Janzen thank you
Thank you
It’s 6/12/2023. And I am still rocking out to this song! He has an amazing voice
Just that last part he killed it with his voice, and you know what? He really tried hard picking up the broken pieces of the legendary Lynyrd Skyryrd. But what he really picked up was the attention of all those who were paying attention to the music. You sir, sang this from the depths of every vein and artery you had. And yes, I do believe they all listened to you too
He knows the soul from which he's singing with...
Awesome song for my grandsons
Doesn't matter if I'm having a few drinks after work alone or with someone, this song has a feeling that just cools you down!
Mama told me, when I was young
"Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
And if you do this, it will help you some sunny day" oh yeah
Oh take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, and you'll find love
And don't forget that, there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Hmm, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can, if you can
And get your lust from the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this for me son, if you can, if you can
Boy don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple, kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can
So baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
He didn't pass away. He went back to Heaven.☝️👍
❤❤
Back to? No one starts there!
The pure, raw emotion in his voice gives me chills every time I listen...
Yea? Listen to "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed. I'll wait.
And I didn't mean that in a jerk way... Just saying "this ALSO gives me chills..." 😉
Love this song. Sound of Silence by Disturbed is great also!
You should have heard it when they did it acoustic in the WAAF studio well before the record company had them redo it to put on their album.
Hi! I love this music!!!!💯💌🌹🏵️🌺
mother passed when I was 19 I'm 20 now
she always told me she loved this song 😭
2019 never forgotten ♥️
Same, but I'm 17😕
Settle this God damm score of
Sorry for y'alls lose
My husband passed away on July 21st 2021 from an overdose on Fentanyl...leaving me and our daughter who is 12. This was played at his funeral, I will always link this song to him because he was a simple man, a good man!
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day…Stay Safe
Wow. As I'm sitting here crying telling my daughter how much her father loved me but just didn't know how to, this song comes up. He would not only play this but sing it to me all the time. It was his favorite. To bad he couldn't live how he truly wanted😢
It sounds like he made a statement though. Remember that.
This is one of the few songs that I played on repeat when I was contemplating suicide. Hits hard even now, and thank you for saving my life
Praying for you brother.
Keep fighting the good fight brother, don’t let things get to u!!
I would kill my god damn self if I had to hear this on repeat
Man I was about to jump off a cliff but I put machine gun Kelly on repeat 😂
NEVER GIVE UP ..HUGS AND LOVE
I believe Ronnie VanZant would be honored that you put your twist on such a great song without shredding the original version, Great Job!!
💯
Aaa
A
Honestly is a great version of the song the video is awesome
I actually like this version better
Who's Ronny this is an ozzy song
Lost my dad on the 5th of this month 18yrs ago..... Listening to this brings back memories " Dear Dad I'm still meeting the occasion & rising above it" 😢
Just remember ❤he’s always watching you
Thanks 👊🏿
So, so sorry about your son. I lost my son 8/22/18 and when I hear this song I also feel like he’s here with me. I used to hear this song and blast it and sing it to him. Sometimes I can’t listen to it because it’s too hard. Prayers to you and sorry we both are in a club no one wants to join.😢
Honestly never heard this song as powerful as it was right here. Bravo!!
THEN YOU KNOW SHIT ABOUT SOUTHERN ROCK THEY BUTCHED THIS SONG
Guess again this would have meant so much more had you spelt correctly! 😉👍🏻
Watch lynyrd skynyrds version, it's the original version and its 1000 times better

2022 and I'm still LOVING this epic creation...honorable to the original, but with their own beautiful twist. One of those that hits home.
Love to you sister. I'm a little hushed to not see many mentions of Skynryd. I really hope people don't think this is the original.
This is their song the original song is from Lynyrd Skynyrd
Awful terrible shit cover
If you haven't hey June 20 here just letting you know we're still listening
I saw them play this in concert sung with jellyroll
My grandma passed away in 2016 I’m now 19 fixing to turn 20 this song always gets to me when it says you’ll find a woman and you’ll find love and don’t forget that there is someone up above
Truly sorry for ur loss my grandmother passed away 26 yrs ago on my birthday months after my first son was bornI'm 53 going on 54 ur grandmother is always with u someone told me long ago one only dies when one forgets them keeping there memories alive within u means they will never truly be gone
As a lover of Lynard Skynard, loyal fan, I must say I love
this version of Simple Man! Hats off to Shinedown, excellent!! Does the original band a worthy cover! 100%
I want this song played at my funeral. this song would be perfect.
too bad my mother and father are both gone. I'm only 17. this is one of few songs that tear me up.
+Austin Ardry This gettin' old man says two things to you: One, I am sincerely sorry about your folks and I hope that even without them you are not completely alone in this world and Two, with all confidence I can say that neither one of them would want you thinking about your funeral too long---simply because you are still so young. Please believe that things can and will get better...
+Tony Jones agree 100%
+Austin Ardry know the
lynyrd skynyrd vers?
+Austin Ardry Listen to OneRepublic's "I lived." Let it inspire you to do EVERY-damn-thing so that you leave this world with no regrets. Do it all and THEN pick your Death Song, Brother. Never go gently and never go before you have sucked all you can out of life, kicked life's ass and given Death the finger.
I cry when I hear this my mom dedicated to me I love my momma
This is definitely one of the most well put lyrics that mean the true essence of life and struggles. You guys nailed the bridge between music and the human soul..... ❤❤❤
This song is my wish for my 2 sons❤❤❤
Perfectly said
Great song Gatorgirl from Gator guy up in north Florida!
My dad passed on 4/8/24 and this is the song they played at the funeral
I am sorry for your loss
Awsom song !! Can't make it any more plain ..love it!! Could listen to it over and over
I actually do listen to it alot. One of the best covers I've ever heard. I love it. Shinedown did this song justice.
A cover song that is better than the original.
Here
Best rendition of this Ive ever heard! Brent Smith's voice is amazing!
+Keisha Thomas must not have listen to the original. check out a live version from '75 Skynyrd. Ronnie VanZant on vocals. Shinedown does ok on this. you just can't perfect, perfection.
+Tim Harmon i like the original better like you said cant beat perfection
1:14
chills....
What a Voice. What knowledge....
Kickin it righteously.

These comments man, they got me tearing up. This song means a lot to me as well
Wow. Amazing how a soulful voice can fool you into thinking how someone should look. My eyes are opened at 50 with this artist.
Rip Timmy Thank you for sharing this song with me I love you Brother
This was the kind of soul this song needed. Skynard did it first, but Shinedown did it right.
2nd that.
Bingo
Kinda leveled it up fosho 😬🤘
Not easy to say but they did it better
Skynyrd. Ugh.
I go through a constant struggle with my demons but this always soothes and motivates me
This music will never be matched my anyone ! Enjoy cause its the last of its kind !! Us old fucks love it !!!
my mama song to me im 14 and growing, i remember wanting to grow up at a young age but now im kinda scared too, life goes by fast man. Yall make sure you live your life to the fullest everyday, because one day you wont be able too, so be happy even when life is hard make the most out of it love yall have a great life. I love you mama
HE HITS THAT SONG WITH SOME SOUL IN HIS VOICE
Definitely man you can tell . Not many singers do that when they do a cover but they nailed it. Great song
Insane Adam yes this is so powerful
I agree bro
Insane Adam this is a great cover. Wonderful voice.
When you pull the pain out it makes the song that much better
Love the picture of Ronnie Van Zant at the 3:02 mark with the little girl. Nice touch.
That's his granddaughter, the guitarist had a little girl with Ronnie's daughter if memory serves
She was at Rockville 2019, they brought her to sing on stage... it’s vanzants granddaughter
bob kenneth damn that makes me beyond happy.
