[dillancourtright]

If you live by the words of this song...you will have a good life indeed...I plan to live my life as said, and I will pass it down to my children. Be an honest, pure-hearted person, have respect for yourself and for others...

[TATELANDDOG]

@dillancourtright i hear ya man, but its getting harder to live this way. its good to see folks still trying to teach kids right. they all seem to feel so entitled today, it just dont make no sense. but heres to you man, may the good lord shine a light on you and yours UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA

Shout out from the UK. Thanks to GTA: San Andreas & My name is earl for putting me onto this truly amazing band. The guitars are amazing in every song, reminds me of Neil Young.

[carni44able]

FREE BIRD!!Wooooooooooooooooo

[1q0pp0q1]

EYE 5

[viktom187]

I love this song is just so real it gets in your skin i'm a simple progress in working and help others i'm sorry for what happen to your to your brother.

[sheracad]

Each semester, I play this for my high school students...

I ask them to BE somebody that is NOT measured by laptops, clothes or cars...

After 23 years doing this, I know that some of them have done amazing things that are not centered around wealth, but purpose and results...

[1lostsoldier1]

I remember flying home from Germany in 83,the pilot was playing the international radio station and they played free bird and I was, I had been 3 yrs.,over there in the Army I loved it they played simple man also and that 747 was Rockin and a Rollin!!

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

why is everyone dying?

[GODrules555]

@THEFLYINGREDNECK

CHANGE YOUR NAME BECAUSE YOU FEEL!

CHANGE YOUR NAME AND REFUSE TO BE A REDNECK PUPPET. YOU FEEL!

CHANGE YOUR NAME BECAUSE YOU FEEL!

RISE ABOVE, AND CHANGE YOUR NAME!

RISE LIKE A SUN AND CHANGE YOUR NAME!

EYE 5

[Jesuschick22]

This was played at my cousins funeral, he was killed by the police because someone thought he was robbing his own house, when really he was just trying to open the door and it's hard to open, so stupid rookie cops came and tried to be heros by shooting him. Justice hasn't been done for my family. R.I.P. Dustin

[69690mercedes]

I lost a good friend a year ago last august and he liked listening to this song

[Epsillion70]

Fucken Hell People this song is about forgiving those who transgress you... for fucks sake?!

[MrPhishdix]

MMMMBEAASIMMMMPLLLLLLLLEEEE

KIINNNDDDOFFFFMAAANNNN

[rolltide998]

i want this played at my funeral. and i notice alot of other comments saying this was played at someones funeral. i pray for you and your loss

[CodyJJ1993]

This was played at my Cousin Clintons Funeral R.I.P. Bro i miss yo

[Jesuschick22]

@CodyJJ1993

This song was played at my cousins funeral, his name was Dustin and his brother's name is Clint....sad irony 

[jimlora1]

these things my momma told me before she passed on 11/11/2011! Mom I promise I will!!! I love you and miss you.

[83BACKinBLACK]

@jimlora1 So. Why are you telling me? Your mom can rot and she actually hated you. Oh and you were adopted and your mom molested you when you were a kid. She molested you a lot. She touched you in bad spots with her hands and mouth. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. And your dad raped your little brother. Adopted brother that is.

[drunkenmonkeytree]

@83BACKinBLACK How come you're filled with so much hatred? Was it you who was molested as a kid? Show us on the doll were they touched you...we'll chip in and send a big black dude to do it again.

[83BACKinBLACK]

@drunkenmonkeytree If you are going to partake in the smartassery, you could at least be a little more creative than saying basically the same stuff to me as I said to the other person. Here let me try what you did. "Um, no you were molested, not me. So, there. How's it feel being a molestee? How's it feel knowing that a man stuck his tounge in youre holes and you just remembered because I reminded you?" Now that was no fun, you see?

[1lostsoldier1]

ONE WORD FOR THIS,AWESOME!

[Audrielovesalex]

and be a simple kinddd of man

[VictoriaLee1231]

Shinedown is good, almost changed my mind. Skynrd is something you can only experience once and never forget. Salute the ones that try, but there is only one Simple Man!~Skynrd~

[kermitcintronsucks]

fuck shinedown

[jawad322]

Justin Bieber created 55 youtube accounts to dislike this video.

[24TV1]

I love Freebird and Sweet Home, but this one is actually my favorite. I love the lyrics and it's probably the most soothing song I've ever heard from Skynyrd

[whereisthemessiah]

They played this at my uncles funeral today, he died of cancer. R.I.P Vauhn you will be missed.

[whipzter2]

@whereisthemessiah my prayers to u and yours

[LegendsNeverDye1]

@whereisthemessiah i want this song played at my funeral.

[Tomdi11]

@Megaplayer1026 share his privacy life like that for the only aim of having the top comment... just LOL ! idiot

[Megaplayer1026]

@Tomdi11 No actually I didnt so shut the fuck up!

[trixie773]

54 people are dumb asses.

[1993sroka]

It sounds really similar to "always somewhere" by scorpions

[Megaplayer1026]

This Song Was played at my brother's funeral and my dad's Today is my brothers birthday he died in a cra accident and the other guy was off these pills and he crashed four others and a semi and he got a fine because he had some kind of sleeping disorder. lets see if we can get him a top comment since i couldnt get justice

R.I.P. Jerred

[madsdad81]

@Megaplayer1026 God bless you

[Megaplayer1026]

@madsdad81 thank you

[TheJasongrodsky]

@Megaplayer1026 lol your family got owned

[Megaplayer1026]

@TheJasongrodsky fuck you!

[waynebautch]

@TheJasongrodsky dude your a dick, thats not cool



[londalor]

@TheJasongrodsky Your lack of empathy and compassion is certainly astounding. If I was religious I would pray for you.

[horror4ever1997]

@TheJasongrodsky What the fuck is you'r problem? Get a life and stop being an asshole too others that don't deserve it!

Megaplayer1026 im sorry for you'r loss.

[Audrielovesalex]

@Megaplayer1026 thats some shit! He deserves something better. Im so sorry

[whipzter2]

@Megaplayer1026 my sympathies... find hope, find love, carry on... this song can fit a man or a woman, no matter what. Ty for your post hunny

[whipzter2]

@Megaplayer1026 btw the sleeping disorder was prolly narcolepsy... look it up. I am so sorry

[Megaplayer1026]

@whipzter2 yeah it was but i did'nt know how to spell it lol thnx

[83BACKinBLACK]

@Megaplayer1026 Maybe your brother shouldn't have been drinking and driving. By the way, it's really lame of you to share personal shit like that with youtube. Nobody is actually sorry about your brother dying because they never knew him. K? They say that because they think they should or they think it would be a super easy way of acting like they are kind. It's called kitsch and your brother got what was coming to him. Now he can get wasted with your dad in redneck hell.

[Megaplayer1026]

@83BACKinBLACK hey faggot listen he wasnt wasted someother crashed so shut the fuck your one of the dumbest assholes i have in my entire life got to hell

[drunkenmonkeytree]

@Megaplayer1026 Learn how to construct sentences properly. Unless ya pretty damn wasted, in which case faerie muff. Sorry about ya bro dude.

[adoradoradosol]

@Megaplayer1026

I'm so sorry to hear that! Just keep in mind that everything that happens has a purpose and God has a lan for each of us!

Keep your head held high and go on.

Good luck"

[ffffffffffffffff900]

@Megaplayer1026 If brother skinned a floating man at his funeral then he his in hell the skinners skinned me without my permission wheres the justice in that? they will pay for it,,,,, do you think i should get a gun and kill them like the killed me an eye for an eye and all that,

[Megaplayer1026]

@ffffffffffffffff900 what the hell does that mean?

[ffffffffffffffff900]

@Megaplayer1026 you know what it means cocksucker

[Megaplayer1026]

@ffffffffffffffff900 i dont hints why i asked what does that mean?

[VirtualPork]

@Megaplayer1026 Firstly, all due respects to your brother and others who died in that incident. But clearly justice has been done, the courts have ruled and this is why we have courts in developed countries and not family tribunals. Impartial parties are only ones who can decide. The driver who caused this is probably HORRIFIED by the outcome of that day. And though you will never beleive it probably more torn up about it than yourself. He has to live knowing what he has done.

[Jesuschick22]

@VirtualPork

Fact of the matter is he shouldn't be driving a commercial vehical if he has a sleeping order, yes it's sad that he has to live with it, but justice wasn't completely done in my opinion, hopefully he got his license taken away. Courts aren't always right or fair.

[AkatsukiLegend]

@Megaplayer1026 The guy shouldn't have been behind the wheel if he had a disorder like that.I'm sorry for your loss, man.

[Megaplayer1026]

@AkatsukiLegend thanks

[Ihateopp]

@Megaplayer1026 Sorry man, that guy should have been locked up. RIP

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@Megaplayer1026 Requescat In Pace Jerred

[Megaplayer1026]

@TheEgotasticRipoff Grazie! Dio vi benedica!

[msglitterbug95]

I was fifteen when my dad passed. im now sixteen. He LOVED this song and free bird. he'd play them when ever he could ,and now when i listen to them i hear my father humming along.

R.I.P. dad/father/son/husband/friend.­

[FrankiethePirate813]

@msglitterbug95 I played Free Bird @ My Best Friends Funeral My Marshall halfstack and jackson Ringing out Loud

Sorry for your loss im fixing to loose my Mom and dad , and My dad Loved This song too.. RIP to your pops Bro... Rip Ronnie VanZant too Skynard is what got me into playing guitar..

[msglitterbug95]

@FrankiethePirate813 thanks and i hope your mom and dad get better.

[caliwowie]

Songs like this shape people for the better. I'm watching my lil brother grow up idolizing Gucci mane and Dubstep. I hope this phase passes soon.

This song and johnny cash's "hurt" is fucking beautiful. warms the soul.

Any other suggestions like these 2??

[MisMatchedSockMonkey]

@caliwowie i need you- lynyrd skynyrd, wish you were here- pink floyd

[Avalance21]

@caliwowie So true my friend. The younger generation listens to music that will shape them for the worse. Songs like these make you feel good in a good way. I got a lil brother to and i feel pain in my soul when he just sit there and listens to todays 'music'. THIS is music, not Lady gaga and Justin beaver.

[acehard40]

53 people are not simple men

[cmagnani]

If you disliked this song then FUCK YOU!!!

[swaggadaddy8]

this is an great song brought back memories,the 1st song i played when i came back from iraq,it felt so great to be back and this song cleared my mind!

[jiminycricket69]

this song is so chill but tough. lots of real talk in this track. its my favorite skynard song by far.. but the deftones cover is pretty fuckin awesome too. they pay homage the best way u can to a great band like this.

[TheDivbell]

In this song is sense of life.

[Hendrix92TheUniverse]

Simple Man is the South's response to what is wrong with the world today.

Take heed people, its best to be a simple man.

[iamenjoi]

@Hendrix92TheUniverse You're right. The world was much better with slaves and racism. The south has nothing to do with anything. It's music, don't try and understand it, because it has a different meaning for everyone. Just listen to it.

[0wolf0king0]

@iamenjoi What the fuck is your problem? Someone mentions the South and you automatically accuse him of of promoting racism and slavery. Did you ever stop to think 'Hey, maybe he means that Americans should stop being so selfish/materialistic/judgment­al/generally dickish, and just embrace the simple things in life'? No, instead you judge him based on the flawed view of southern people that you have been exposed to all your life. So either fuck off, or enjoy the SOUTHERN rock.

[iamenjoi]

@0wolf0king0 Because all southern people fit that criteria? hahaha. Right.

And I'm promoting the fact that this has NOTHING to do with the south. It's a fucking song.

[0wolf0king0]

@iamenjoi I never said that all southern people were saints. The fact remains that no matter where you go, you're always gonna find a couple of dickheads. You seem to be a fair example of a dickhead. Judging all southern people to be white supremacists, is about as bad as, for example, a southern man judging all black people to be lazy thugs.

[iamenjoi]

@0wolf0king0 But I love black people. My drug dealer is black.

[Sotaris]

This song is so powerful at healing that when they played it at my funeral I rose as a phoenix.

[MetallicAn1989]

in this song is too many to advise to me and i think it's easiest way to be a happiest man in the world...

[SSGazem]

Always makes me cry, cause I never made my father proud and to this day he disowned me cause I am a long hair headbanger. I know I should live above but it hurts to know your birth father hates you

[joeyceccoli]

This song reminds me of fade to black by metallica

[jordythebassist]

During times like these, I just wish I could be a simple man...this song is too therapeutic for it's own good...

[TheAmberWamber]

another story of my life......,<3 gotta love this song tho <3

[sally13546]

i love this song and it's true(:

[Asthroth57]

thumbs up if supernatural brought you here

[TheGamer19961]

this song reminds me of my grandma she always would sing this song when i came on but that was the past R.I.P grandma :(

[Roselina12398]

My grandpa died in may 2009 i loved him dearly and it hurts that he is gone but he will never be forgotten and he truly was a simple man and the only boy as he was growing up with 3 sister just like my baby brother is :) R.I.P Roy Robin Dow i miss you so much

[justinness]

I played this song at my own funeral once.

[iain0572]

rip your dad perfect legacy do him proud

[23whiteboyz]

this song reminds me to live life not so complicated and get out of the fast lane and just be simple kind of man... I've been living life so hard lately think its time...

[shanon69able]

luv my mama r.i.p.

[AdriennexNightmare]

R.I.P Kerry Spencer. <3

[MrSr777]

This is music .. This is meaning.. THIS IS MEANING OF LIFE

[ilvteddybears1984]

For my grandfather Lynyrd Mattson who passed March of 89. Even though i was only 5 i remember listening to this song when i was with him. since i was his first grandchild female and only 5 he didnt want me at the funneral but they played this. RIP Grandpa. Hope to see you one day soon. love your teddybear

[markjenkz]

Classic song.. Just heard it for the first time ever like a couple weeks ago. Can't stop listening to it over and over. One of them timeless songs. You can feel it in your soul.

[ArashiUzumaki11]

My dad showed me this after my mom's funeral, said it was her favorite song, and that she'd wanted it played at her funeral. We didn't, but I'll never forget it.

[millercj02]

At my uncles wake, we had a tribute video with pictures of him and his girlfriend on a slideshow on the big screen and we had this song on it! R.I.P. Trevor!

[EliteRvZ]

Seriously, if you waste a second thinking about your funeral, your funeral song and that kind of stuff, you should stop, breathe, and take a look at your life !!!

[OldMusicftw]

@EliteRvZ What are you talking about?

[UnfadingEvilive]

sorry drinking I meant It somes up how I feel LOL.

[UnfadingEvilive]

I told my wife this will be played at my funeral I just somes how I feel up .

[SolidusGabriel]

I'm gonna play this song to my son, when I have one.

[NYChica23]

@SolidusGabriel I think it's great that you want to introduce your future child to good music ♥♥

[littlemoon39]

@SolidusGabriel . this has always been my song to my only son!

[ant5399]

@SolidusGabriel I just did my sons 12 and he loved it and believe me he really understood it ive been waiting along time to do this. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

[jimsmailbox]

A Simple State of Mind....... As I was walking a peaceful country road

With my heart’s song on my mind

Enjoying the pleasure of forgetting life’s load 

I saw things you just shouldn’t find

[jimsmailbox]

At first I saw only the beauty around

And felt the fall air, so crisp and clear

Until I saw litter had been thrown to the ground

As a gentle voice whispered, and My Seasoned Heart did hear As I was enjoying a leisurely Saturday,

In the park with my daughter and son

Reminiscing of my childhood at play

The simplicity of just having fun

[jimsmailbox]

I started to remember things

How those days were a simpler time

I became Thankful for the values to which I cling

So I can be part of the solution, not the crime Now don’t get me wrong, I’m no angel for sure

I’ve been LOST, I’ve been STOLEN, and I’ve been BLOWING in the wind

But we need a SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL, and PHYSICAL cure,

To bring pollution to an end!

This is me and my mom's favorite Skynyrd song

[TexasVluvv]

wish they were still around....i would  love to go to a concert and jam out.

[JonnyWukabot]

45 people are not a "simple kind of man"

[pangajackterhor]

dont matter the religious connotations, this is an amazing rocking song!!!

[leikney06]

my father played this for me on a ukulele when I was four years old....though I am a female, I took it to heart, joined the army as military police and served a deployment overseas in Iraq when I was 19. Thank you everyone....but especially Daddy for believing in me!!!! I love you!!!!

[markjenkz]

I don't even listen to rock.. Heard this song by accident.. It's a CLASSIC!

[jigejie]

My momma will never tell me anythin again As of Aug 22nd 2011
