My apologies for the snotty mess. I will keep some tissues handy from now on.
Don't be embarrassed by true emotion
Never apologize for your heart strings being pulled
Another good 1 by them is called I need you.
Your man should play that for you.
Lol it's all good...
Besides we learned you have 3 boys which you've never mentioned in any other videos that I'm aware of
No apology necessary. I was familiar with the song, and made me tear up, knowing that it was going to make you tear up. I have two grown sons myself.
Young lady, never apologize for showing emotion to beautiful music, I’m a 60 year d guy that still tears up to this song, and others
Dido.
Thank you Steve 💗
Chokes me up every time I here it, I and try to be just that a simple man
Wow, I thought I wrote this until I saw your name!! Hit the nail on the head!!
My dad is also 60 he raised me on this shit and I wouldn’t trade that for the world
I am a grown man at the age of 63 and this song still gets to me
53... and likewise!
67 and it gets me everytime!!!!!
60 now, and yes.
52 and yup!
Hi Jess…I’m a 74 year old fellow Australian and I’m sitting here in my one bedroom unit situated in a retirement village and I’m crying with you. I’ve listened to this song many times and it always gets me. I have two sons…and a daughter…and twelve grandchildren and I marvel the simple yet powerful message of the lyrics. I loved your reaction
Hi John, thank you for sharing your comment. It means more than you’ll ever know 💗
@@inbedwithmusic2130 best wishes to you and your loved ones. Stay safe
@@inbedwithmusic2130 thank you dear and best wishes. you are not alone.
One of the most beautiful reactions I’ve ever seen. You really get this song!!! Bravo
Thank you so much. I can’t take credit, the song moved me.
Now maybe you understand why Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the most popular bands of the 1970's and why it was such a tragedy what happened to them.
You know what they say, only the good die young.
Don’t ever apologize for finding your emotion with a song. This is what great music does. It makes you feel. ❤️❤️
Thanks so much Phil. ❤
There's no need to apologizes for having an honest, genuine reaction. That's why we watch.
All my years of watching people listen to this song, I have never seen anyone break down in tears over it, but I understand why. Great reaction, keep it up!
Really? Wow. I’m going to have to binge some reactions now.
Thanks for watching ☺️
It makes me tear up too.
@@inbedwithmusic2130
I never thought of it as a possible lullaby before, but here we are. Who knew?
@@inbedwithmusic2130 As a grandfather who has listened to this song for decades, I've never experienced it through the eyes of the Mother who desperately wants her son to hear her guidance for his happy life, always through the eyes of a son who adored his mom. You brought me to a whole new level of emotion and appreciation, for which I thank you.
I never thought about looking thru a mothers eyes.it takes on a different meaning
Skynerd did do songs with meaning
One of the best songs ever written. Ronnie was a genius. RIP Ronnie Van Zandt. Don't be embarrassed.
So beautiful to see a mother of boys cry over this song. Just beautiful. 💚🕊🙏🏻
🥹❤️ thanks for watching
A mother's teachings are the absolute things for a boy's life.
Children who can receive such simple and straightforward teaching are happy.
mother is forever great and absolute
I have watched it many times and can't stop crying
I am a 52 years old man and I cry sometimes listening to this masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your true feelings with us. No apologies necessary, please don't change!! Your kids are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom!
I passed 52 eight years ago. By the way, can you spare a tissue? This song strikes me the same way.
My loving mom passed two years ago.
@@BlainsTubesorry for your loss. Gid bless you and your mom.
Another song that pulls tears from my eyes when I hear it (and ponder the story), is "Last Kiss" performed by Pearl Jam.
@@BlainsTube beautiful song also. I add "Baby I love your way" by Peter Frampton and "Last Resort" by The Eagles.
Don't ever be sorry for how music touches your soul. It is the WHOLE purpose of music.
Wow, thanks for that. I didn't realize how much I needed a good cry. Such a moving, heartfelt and genuine reaction to one of the greatest songs ever written. Your boys are in such loving hands if this is a sample of the compassion you possess.
Oh now you’ve made me cry again 🥹 thanks so much for sharing. As a parent, I fall short daily but they are loved 💗
In my opinion this is one of, if not the best songs ever written, there is such a deep, deep message in the words that if more people took them to heart, this world would be in a much better place, and don't apologize for your tears, I'm 61 years old, been a Skynyrd fan since I was 14, and I still tear up listening to Simple Man
I miss my mom she died 38 years ago, I'm 69 now and I still miss her. this is my mom's favorite song.
I’m so sorry for your loss John. As a mum, I know that my children are always on my mind. I have no doubt that she’s in the next life, thinking of you and waiting patiently until you meet again.
@@inbedwithmusic2130 Thank you, as a mother must teach simplicity and what it means to help others. Sorry if I'm overreacting, I'm just a parent, hope it's helpful.
@@John_Smith51 it is, thank you. And you are not overreacting at all, I’m grateful you shared it with me.
I'm sorry for your loss of your Dear Mom. It doesn't matter how long ago it was, it always still hurts in our hearts to lose the woman who brought us into the World. I miss my Mama too! Take care.
Had a nephew w heart probs loved LS..it failed in 11th grade math..600 kids100 teachers came thru the line to great my fam while freebird played...we all wore my Skynyrd tour shirts 46 shows even roadied 8 in 96 so even Gramma had a RVZ shirt hat on...my arm hairs tingle writing this and tears too [>
Hey lady, I am 56 years old. Have heard this song hundreds of times. Have just one son son. I cried along with you.
💗🥰 love to you and your son.
Skynyrd is the greatest band of all time I loved your reaction.
I’ve lost a son. It crushed me. I’ll never recover. One thing I did learn (the silver lining so to speak) is unconditional love and what it means. We all make mistakes. We all are imperfect. But the love of a parent. It’s not about anything other than accepting your kids as they are and allowing them to make the same mistakes we did. That’s the journey of life. Just love your sons. Period. Nothing more. I feel you’re doing that. Good energies to you.
I'm so sorry, Dan.
Probably the best reaction I've ever seen to one of my favourite songs which has such deep meaning. Your warmth and love for your 3 boys is indescribable.
🥹🥹❤️❤️ thank you so much
The best band ever.
I’ve heard 4 of their songs and have loved all four of them so I’m starting to believe it!
I can tell that you have a genuine heart.And also that you love your children
Aw thank you, your words mean more than you know.
This song was written after Gary and Ronnie had been talking about their grandmothers and the influence that they had o their lives
What a blessing those women must have been.
It's not embarrassing, it's real emotion, it's beautiful and as you've learned on the 1st songs you've heard, Skynyrd touches your soul and you will listen to them for the rest of your life.
I do not know how old you boys are, but give them this song. I think they will love it.
Thank you for your reaction.
I’ve listened to Skynyrd my whole life just about. It still gets me too. They’d be proud you enjoy their music. That terrible plane crash robbed us of one of the greatest voices and lyricists of all time in Ronnie Van Zant.
Forever
Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Thank you for your reaction. This song will get you every time. My mom died 30 years ago when I was a very young man. Today my teenage son's mom is in hospital and very sick. All I want for him is to have a less difficult life than I have lived. I have all the same feelings you spoke of . This song has always been such a comfort and a reminder of what the important things we all want for our children. Bless you, your boys are in great hands.
Don’t worry. Grown men have been crying in their pickup trucks for 50 years listening to this.
Awesome!
Your reaction has GOT to be the best I've ever watched...thank you..
I am so touched. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
I cry almost every time I listen to this song too. It truly captures what life and a mother’s love is like
When a song pulls out such a strong, raw, emotion, never apologize.. I have known this song for 40+ years, and it still makes my eyes leak
Back in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died, someone made a montage of him and Jr using this song. Wanna talk about waterworks.
Good music pulls at emotions anyway. Perfectly outstanding reaction, mom.
The reason why the classic rock bands of the 70s stand the test of time. Lyrics you can not only understand, but relate to. Then combined with instrumentals that are articulated with skill to tell stories or create emotion. These songs were relatable then, now and will be far into the future.
An honest emotional reaction to a song created to do just that. Not to mention that it IS SKYNYRD.
I was fortunate enough to grow up listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd on the radio. They are the best and their songs bring back so many good memories. Thanks for sharing your reaction. I can tell you have a sweet spirit, may God bless you and your family.
Don't ever be sorry for that kind of heartfelt reaction, you are obviously a great mom.
I grew up on Skynyrd. My uncle was friends with a lot of them
Lucky you. As for your uncle, sorry he suffered such a great loss in one hit.
Never be embarresed or apologize for being human. It shows the world that you possess the qualities of humanity, empathy, and compassion. Your boys are truly blessed to have a mom like you❣
Don't ever apologize for showing your emotions through music. That's what music is supposed to do. Good music touches your soul. I have two grown sons, they are 32 and 33, and this is Been There song since they were little boys. This song tells them all the things that I might not have found the words to tell them myself. I just found your Channel, and I hope you keep going, and living through the music!
I am a 54 year old, mother of two now grown children, one of them a boy. This song hit me like a freight train the first time I heard it, dropped me to my knees. I have multiple health issues and my worry was so gut wrenching. I played this song to death I sang it I wanted both my children to just absorb it. I can tell you that it worked I never once forced the issue I just organically loved it and they knew. Both of them are such wonderful adult people now, I am thankful every day. I imagine your boys will also feel and respond similarly. Love covers so much and your love shines.
Such a real reaction.
Thank you. I’ll always share my genuine reactions, I just wasn’t expecting to be hit this hard.
Don't worry about crying during the filming of this remember the people watching this look this song up and looked up this video we know how powerful it is. You're now one of us. My mom played this for me on a drive one day. Last year she died so unexpectedly and I like seeing people introduced to it's power. Its a great a great pressure valve sometimes for me. ✌
This one always gets me, such a beautifully written song musically and lyrically. The story of their plane crash is really incredible and sad... I love your heart Jess, I can tell that you're a beautifully loving and genuine spirit... I'm so glad I found your channel🙂🙂🙂
I’d heard a little about the crash years ago but I was too upset to hear more. I felt so bad for the parents to lose so many of their children in one go. I still can’t read about it, moreso now that I’m a fan.
I’m so glad you found me, you’re the best 💗
@@inbedwithmusic2130 The good news is that most of the members survived and reformed as the Rossington-Collins Band and later they took the Lynyrd Skynyrd name and replaced vocalist Ronnie Van Zant with his younger brother Johnny. Although they don't really play any of their newer music on the radio they've been touring since 1987 and at least been able to extend their careers playing the classics.
I sang this song to my son since he was born and i still bawl whenever i hear it, its beautiful ❤
Its simply amazing that a 50 year old song still elucits sich heartfelt reactions and feelings. The genius that is ronnie van zant
Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote, sang, and played their life stories.... It's real stuff and topics! That's why it resonates with anyone with a
pulse. Not to mention that they were all excellent musicians, playing real instruments. Perhaps the best band ever in rock history. And for all you young people, look at their live concert clips... Look at how united the fans are, look at the American flags flying everywhere and the civility of the crowds. It was an era of true American patriotism and pride.
New subscriber here and I was crying right along with you. No need to apologize for getting emotional. We all do it. Lynyrd Skynyrd is a class one southern rock band that I just adore. This particular song is my husbands ringtone on my phone. I have heard it hundreds of times and it still touches me. Ok. if you want another emotional song, listen to Loggins and Messina, Danny's Song. Another artist that you could check out is Stevie Ray Vaughan, one of the greatest blues guitarists ever. He is number one in my book. For a start, check out his live version of Texas Flood at the El Mocambo. You won't regret it.
Ha, that song still gets me after 30 years of listening to it 👍
If done correctly when giving you a “Thumbs Up” or a “Thumbs Down” it is OUR ( the viewers) Reaction to your reaction to a song. Your reaction to “Simple Man” was THE BEST I have seen! And I have seen many. You showed such an HONEST emotion. Very open about what this song meant to You. And I agree with all the ones that stated you should NOT be ashamed of your crying. Thats the True and Honest emotion coming out of your mind and heart. The miracle of you doing that is it brings out our (viewers) honest emotion too. The thing is, we are not in front of the camera. We will cry ant not have anyone to apologize to. I Loved your reaction! Sniff, sniff. See what I mean? Lol
Oh my, you have actually brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing this with me, it was very touching. 💗
@@inbedwithmusic2130 You are welcome.
Nice reaction. No need to apologize or to be embarrassed for being emotional. It just shows that you not only hear the music, but you can actually feel the music and that is always a good thing, no matter if it makes you happy or sad, some songs just bring feelings to the surface. I am sure you are a great Mom to your boys. Teach them the Golden rule... Do onto others as you wish they do onto you.
What an amazing band that can touch our hearts at such a deep level.
Maybe it's just contagious watching someone get emotional but I just watched your reaction and I came to tears too! 🥲 I'm a fifty three year old man with two grown daughters and have heard this song playing in the background many times over the years but until now I never really "heard" it the way it was intended. Sharing your honest heart-felt reaction to this song has shown the value in it's message for me and can now see your (a mother's) perspective with raising boys which I don't have! Amazing.. So please don't apologize for getting emotional! You honored the song and brought it to life for many I'm sure (if you didn't cry it, I wouldn't have). Very touching. Thank you!
You showed a powerful reaction to a beautiful song with a powerful message. Rest In Peace those members of Lynyrd Skynrd who perished in the plane crash. Your music lives on.
you are a beautiful soul
Thank you, I’m far from perfect but my heart is in the right place.
Try Vince Gill singing “go rest high on that mountain”
I'm 40 and been listening to Skynyrd since I was 12. I've never cried to this song but seeing you be so moved by it made me cry. I don't have kids but seeing you connect with these lyrics because of the love for your boys was a beautiful thing to watch!
An absolute masterpiece of a song, needless to say (Mom) really dished out some true wisdom! You also should check out another great song, also with an important message and some fantastic guitar solos etc..
I love this song it’s one of my favorite skynard songs. And btw I had goosebumps at the same time you had them😊
Thank you for sharing James.
It’s an amazing song!
So heartfelt and beautiful. You are one of my favorite reactors now.This song is powerful and you felt it. I love that. Please don't apologize. Stay true to yourself and you'll always come out on top! Please direct me where I can post suggestions for future songs! As my Aussie friend has taught me over the years all I can say is "good on ya!"
I have heard this song thousands of times. As a musician, I have probably played this song hundreds of times. It still hits me emotionally EVERY TIME! Ronnie was one of the best poets/lyricists of the 20th century, if not all time. I was in high school when the plane crashed. The entire school had an air of depression for weeks.
I am 69 and this song does it to me, loved your reaction!! Need to listen to their song ,Was I right or wrong, it's touches me like Simple Man !!
Thank you for watching. I’ve added Was I Right Or Wrong to my list to record, thank you.
Awe, I'm so glad to see another mom having the same reaction I did to this song. I used to think about writing them a letter too. I played it for my boys all the time while they were growing up and I send it to them on their birthdays every year now that they're grown men. I can't write them a letter that would say what I want them to know better than Simple Man.❤️
I play in a band, and neither me or my guitarist can get through this song without crying. We both lost our mothers young and it makes us tear up every single time we play it, and it probably always will. Don’t feel bad, this band connects to people in a way that few others have.
No need to apologize, we all tear up at this song. I grew up with this band. My brother gave me their One More From The Road album for my twelfth birthday in 1976. Nothing can replace honest human emotion. This song brought out the love you have for your boys, we understand and we cried with you.
I loved your reaction. No need to be embarassed. It was pure and from the heart.
For some moving songs, may I suggest the work of Harry Chapin?
Cat's in the Cradle, Saturday Morning, Taxi, and Let Time Go Lightly are all wonderful.
For his more comedic side - 30,000 Pounds of Bananas.
That was one of the most authentic reactions I have ever seen. Never apologized for your emotions. As a father the quickest way to get me emotional is through messages about being a father/child. I get it. Keep doing what you're doing. I don't think any of us feel like we are doing enough. -Love and Light
Jess, don’t EVER apologize for how music makes you feel. You let it move you how it moves you.❤
No need to apologize for a great song that moves you to tears, it says volumes ! What a great song and a great band. I love the Southern Rock sound 🙏
I'm here in Jacksonville, FL, the Proud Hometown of these beautiful and talented people. I know 3 of them who are still alive. They are the most humble people in the World. They love us ALL!
I thought it was only Garry and Artimus living?
@@josephoneil3093 Ricky Metlock joined the band later on after the crash. Johnny Van Zant took over as lead singer after the crash. So, technically not part of the original but they're currently on the roster!
Appreciate your AUTHENTIC reaction. ❤️
I appreciate your comment ❤️
southern rock 70s classic masterpiece...its imposssible to not get emotional listenin to this song
This band was so amazing, their musicians were so good, and the way they could tell a story which hit home for most of us. Amazing we were so lucky to be able to enjoy these guys for the short time they were with us. Thank-you Ronnie,Jerry, Leon, Ed, Alan, Steve, Billy, Bob, Gary, and Artimus. You were amazing!!!
Just a Mom trying to impart wisdom on her only Son. It is a powerful song and as a parent it hits a little harder. Your reaction was beautiful!!
heard it 1000 times..still gives me chills
Good Mothers produce Good Sons and you seem like a good mother God Bless You and and your Sons
Oh thank you, I’m not without my flaws but I’m doing my best. God bless you and yours.
Never a need to apologize for honesty.
Thank you 💗
It's ok Jess, I've been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd over 40 years and still get goosebumps and sometimes choked up by the original recordings. They were so deep!. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Cheers!
A great song will make one cry.
No need to apologize for having a beautiful heart full of pure emotion! One of the very best music reactions on youtube! God bless you and your sons!
🥹❤️ thank you so much. God bless you and yours
Wow!! Crying is GOOD for the SOUL!! Thanks for being vulnerable and authentic. God bless you and your family.
Thanks so much for your comment. God bless you and yours also.
@@inbedwithmusic2130 are you a fan of Jethro Tull by any chance?
One of the most beautiful, most heartfelt reactions to this song that I have ever seen. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the words and I’m glad that such a beautiful song was recommended to me.
Every time I hear this song on the radio I have to turn it up. Ronnie Van Zant is singing from his heart. You could tell he was the real deal. It just sucks he left this Earth at such a young age. His little brother Johnny Van Zant stepped into his big brother’s shoes years later and revived the band and has done an amazing job keeping his his brother’s legacy alive. This song does get to me as well. It can sometimes make me very emotional. Don’t ever apologize for crying to this song. You have 3 sons and the words in this song could be something you could express to them.
Another Skynyrd song you MUST react to is "Every Mother's son." That one will put a tear in your eye also.
60 year old, just lost my sweet 93 year old mother in January. Will always love this song.
They do that to everyone with a sole or heart !!
They’re so incredibly talented.
I remember when i sat down with my kids and had them listen to this. Last year my daughter sat her 2 kids down to listen this :)
Oh that is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing it with me. 💗
In a world of men who couldn’t ever feel loved my their parents, this song helped me grow into a man.
The band TOOL has amazing lyrics that will move you and make you think. 🤞✌️
No need to apologize for the emotion. This a beautiful song, with a beautiful message. We should all be so blessed to have a mama, like he had.
One of the greatest bands....EVER.1977 was a bad year 4 us we lost Elvis and lynard skynard
If this song doesn't grab you right in the feels you're no human. Everytime I listen to this song I absolutely think of my mother. She passed in 2003. To this day this song grabs me right in my soft spot. This is the type of song that's meant to get you like this.
Please don't aologize. This song was chosen by my son to dance with me at his wedding....I've always loved this beautiful song because it resonates so much with me as I wish the same for my precious only son! I can't even hear the first notes without absolutely crying my eyes out, every single time!! Between Ronnie Van Zant's voice and meaningful words, not to mention the incredible Lynyrd Skynyrd's amazing music (wow...that guitar), this is one of my favorite songs of all time!!! I'm so glad, as a Mom of sons, you were so moved by this song....I am too! 💙
Honey, don't apologize for loving your sons and this song. All of us mothers feel this when we hear this song. My husband ask me to play this at his funeral if I were still living when his time was up on this earth and in 2013 it was played at his funeral. He was only 53 when cancer took him from me. Thank you for your reaction. I cried along beside you. Brenda from East Tennessee. USA.
Girl, at one point in my life, I cried to this every time I heard it. Please do not be embarrassed. Very heartfelt and sweet reaction. Thank you.
This song has always pulled at my heart! ❤️
I can see why 💗
I'm a 54 year old man who grew up on this song and have heard it a 1,000 times and I'm sitting here with tears running down both cheeks. What a powerful reaction to a very powerful song. I feel entirely grateful to you to have shared tears with you. My very best wishes to you and your boys. Love, from Texas...
I played this song for my only sons homegoing 10 years ago . I cry right along with you . I still cry everyday for my 28 year old baby . He did stay a simple ,kind ,loving ,hell raising mamas boy riding his Harley . God needed his big heart ,big smile and wonderful hugs more than I did I suppose . That’s what I like to think . And I know he is waiting for me with a big smile and the hug only he could give .
I listened to this song hundreds of times growing up and never shed a tear. But then I had my son, and it caused waterfalls. Still does, especially since he's in his 20s now.
I cry everytime I hear it! Dedicated to my son who is a trucker! Love him so much, he has turned into a wonderful loving simple man!
