    I'm 74 years old and this song touches me deeply because I see my mother in my mind saying all these wonderful words. Rest in peace mom because everything worked out. Thanks Skynyrd.

    Being a Simple Human is the Most Complicated thing to Do these Days.
    Finding a Simple and Down to Earth Life Partner is also equally difficult.

    I started listening Lynyrd Skynyrd when my son was a teenager. His favorite was Freebird and this one. Simple Man is a classic. My son died in an accident when he was 26 and when I hear these songs, it reminds me of him. It also makes me sad but love the words. I am 80 years old now and still rock when I hear this group

    I listened to this song A LOT after my grandfather died. He didn't listen to the band, nor did I, very much. But he was a humble, intelligent, and modest man who accomplished a lot and I cherish the memories I have of him. Before he died, he gave me both his army canteen and his combat knife from basic training from his service in World War II, something my uncles really wanted because he knew I'd cherish them more than anyone. I keep them 100% safe and they're priceless to me. But his biggest accomplishment and the one I remember him best for is that when he worked for Bell Aerospace in Buffalo, NY they were subcontracted by Grumman, who was contracted by NASA to build the Lunar Module to land astronauts on the Moon. My grandfather who was a brilliant mechanical engineer designed the agena rocket engine for satellites, but they used his design for the ascent engine on the Lunar Module. That engine would fire after every Moon Walk (Lunar EVA) to bring the astronauts back to Lunar Orbit, and eventually come back home. Without my grandfather, and many thousands of others of course, our journey to the Moon would never have happened. My grandfather was very thrilled to be a part of that moment in our country's history and had some awesome stories about it. However, he remained extremely humble and modest. Thanks Lynyrd Skynyrd for getting through those really long months of mourning my grandpa, I really appreciate it!

    I’ve seen hundreds of videos of them live and plenty of times in concert but I have to say this exact performance is nothing short of magical. The timing, the vocals, the guitar tone that all three of them are cranking out, loud AF but complete clarity!! Probably the top performance of simple man during the modern incarnation of this band!! The greatest Southern Rock band of all time. In fact if their was no Skynyrd theirs no southern rock. Just the Allman Brothers playing blues with a heavy rock and jam influence. Don’t get me wrong their where and still are some great southern bands, but Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet were the ones to put rock in southern rock! Nobody could touch those heavy grooves and screaming guitar tones! #LongLiveSkynyrd #LongLiveTheSimpleMan. #RestInPeaceRonnieVanZantAllenCollinsSteveGainesCassieGainsBobBurnsEdKingBillyPowellAndLeonWilkinson! #FlyHighYouFreeByrds!

How precious it is to have these memories about the people we love. For me, I am the only son of my mother, and that in itself begins my relationship with this song that will last forever.

      I'm not far from Nashville... and I play this song pretty flawlessly as far as the "rhythm" guitar. I put rhythm in quotes because it's picking, not strumming... so not what I describe as typical rhythm. I can play the lead too, but I can't do both at the same time :P Anyway, not that this will ever happen but if you make it to Nashville at some point, find a way to contact me... I'll stand up there and play it while you sing. To honor the song and your brother.

    Skynyrd sings about how mothers and grandmothers can share invaluable advice in a few expressed words. Hold their words of wisdom close to your heart - they keep true eternally.

    I lost my son in 2019 he was a combat veteran with the Marine Corps and he lost his life to PTSD. He also played the song on guitar and loved it very much. It meant so much to him. Two other families who lost their child God bless you all and hope we will see our children again someday

      May God Bless you and protect you from all the things you don't like or need in life, so that you may have the sweetest life possible, since your heart has already been broken and may you have Peace beyond all understanding that Jesus gives, and protects you from most of all, the evil in this world. You deserve it surely since you are a child of God.

    I'm russian, and this song has been jumping from phone to phone myself in years, I didn't notice something special, I don't even remember how it did get to my playlist, I dont't know why maybe it's just memory refuse, but every time it played in my phone, I switched this. Recently I surrounded by an electric shock with thousand of goosebumps, this is such a beautiful and simple song, all the poetry in two words, and nothing extra, the truly standard of rock music. Hello from Russia with love, sorry for typos and errors

      A big thank you to all my fans!
      What will my name and career be without all of your love and support?
      Amidst my darkest days you all stood by me,
      I don't have all the time in the world to reply, but i do read your heartwarming comments and i truly appreciate all.
      It's the season of love
      & so i decided to put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through old posts on my official page and hitting up random fans,
      So i can get to relate with my fans better through discussions of depth and humour, listening to compliments and criticisms on my career walk.

    My grandmother died a year ago. It had been so terrible watching her decline, but it was time to let her go in peace. When I went to her house for the last time, I played this song as loud as I could and sat there reflecting on the memories we made together. This song, and so many others by Skynyrd, are so incredibly relatable and make us remember why we live. God bless.
