Help Somebody - Van Zant

[drunkinbunkin]

This sends a chill up my spine and a tear down my face thinking of my late grandmother....but oddly enough I can smile too!! Damn good song!

[teric4ever]

there the best God loves Skynyrd too

[parsonsclubmarket]

Great song from the Van Zant's! Get right with the man>>>

[rolltide998]

how old is this song?

[danielmmdsj]

@rolltide998 its not but the story is what i grew up with

[galegregory97comcast]

dam good song

[flippedherfunk]

A true skynard fan dont know how to spell!

[audrey5904]

Awesome!

[jrsnotdead]

I was at a show a couple years ago and Donnie sang this song. It was 38 Special, Shooter Jennings and CDB. It was a great concert and this is a great song. It reminds me of my great grandmother. If everyone had an attitude like this the world could be just a little bit better.

[flippedherfunk]

You know what. Ive listened to the song like 40 times now...specifically the 1st verse...and ya know what...im choosin words ive never spoken before.

ive decided this song also brings a smile to my face. really every time I listen, oh how I laugh.

Thank you Van "hell yeah im american" Zant

[flippedherfunk]

get serious this song sucks. i almost dont like skynard after hearing this shit

[MedicTJ]

@flippedherfunk

You have no right to "like" Skynyrd when you can't even spell the name correctly. Go back home fake boy.

[4lorlor]

This song reminds me of how i was raised.. i can only hope i raise my kids the way i was raised

[Dylanwidlauryn]

who ever dont like this song they can kiss my country ass

[RockinBluesLucas]

I love this song,but there must be 14 people who DON"T ! Oh well,you can lead them to the water,but you can't make um drink it !

[JoeNJ1]

@RockinBluesLucas Sounds like they're drinkin the pop kool aid;

[nooffbutton9]

I'm from a Southern family. Whenever I am missing my Mom and Dad I listen to this. It's like they're right here talking with me. Both passed years ago but a little piece of them lives on in this song.

[A1Zealot]

I had to go through here and thumbs up most of the comments on this page...been a few years since I've heard this song and it popped in my head one day. Such an awesome, genuine song!

[Miboysyme]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard.God laughs at me all the time,I keep telling Him what MY plan is.

[NJS1726]

unfortunately, way to many Americans, and common people have lost touch with the virtues of these two great men... "...Its better to be hated for who you are, than be loved for who your not..."

[Buckkiller888]

this song talks exactly of my grandpa...

[SuperBrandon37]

such a good word from the best singers. R.I.P. Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Blly Powell, Artimus Pyle,

[motofreek09]

where the hell is the sound none the songs are workin

[UKPatriot2]

the whole world needs to sit down and watch this

[seedling30]

OMG...this is one of the best songs of my generation! Way underrated! The words are timeless. Reminds me of my Grandparents :)

[beachbum2224]

Reminds me of how I grew up at the farm :) my granny was an amazing Christian woman.

[robertlhafer123]

This is a great song.

[DeltasaUSMC]

This song is so damn awesome!!!

[rclark1292]

so this isn't the 2 brothers this is ronnie and his guitarist? and is this the original brother in lynyrd skynrd or the one who took over? Sorry i have them mixed up but

Amazing song, the 2 of them have always sang great songs

[redrock717]

@rclark1292 its johnny and donnie van zant, donnie is the lead singer of 38 special. both are the brothers of the late great lynyrd skynyrd frontman ronnie van zant. johnny is now the singer of lynyrd skynyrd

[rclark1292]

@redrock717 thanks I realized that it was johnny and donnie not long after I posted it, originaly I was looking for some of ronnies music, Im a die hard skynyrd fan no matter which brother is singing, but I feel like few studio editions if any are even ronnie these days?

[redrock717]

@rclark1292 everything since 87 is new music like the latest album god&guns i love it

[rclark1292]

@redrock717 I love god and guns , I no all the van zant and skynyrd songs very well, I think they are one of the most talented families in music, I simply dont know which songs where originally ronnies tho you can tell the difference between the 2 brothers, thanks tho

[JohnnyThunders777]

Great song.....Our parents/grandparents were the true americans....hard workers full of wisdom....Help somebody if you can and get right with the man...JT

[TBGamings]

[RandLoutdoors]

thunbs up if u love lynyrd skynrd and van zant. those two are the singer for lynyrd skynryd brothers

[zepherford]

@RandLoutdoors Also, .38 special.

[Harold779]

@RandLoutdoors Johnny Van Zant (no hat) is the lead vocalist for The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, Donnie Van Zant (wearing the hat) is the lead singer for 38.Special, their older brother was the late Ronnie Van Zant the the front man for the original Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[JoeNJ1]

@RandLoutdoors and .38 special;

[danielmmdsj]

@RandLoutdoors first skynard is ronnie and donnie is 38. jonny came to skynard in 87. its sad that the youth talk b4 they know

[DECIFERTHIS09]

jeremy robinson came to my house today and i didnt know him but i was like wtf you doing buying my 80s mixer craigslist hooks you up with anyone and i met jack star through craigslist why do they live in melbourne florida

[texasgrammy3]

This is an amazing video! My Mom and Daddy instilled in me to help people and get right with God! If you have Jesus in your life, everything else is icing on the cake!

Juder

[PatrioticGoblin]

Somebody needs to help 12 people... if they can :P

[billwitt2010]

[tenchimouse]

I bet all you here as done something good for someone else. Keep up the good work. Peace and Aloha!

[Kaiozanda]

Who the fuck disliked? Die in hell.

[gpops70]

How can you guys pring politics into this song i mean really.

[Lootmeister]

Great song, great life advice. Live it or spend your life looking for it.

[AwesomeCoosa]

why is it theres not enough people like this? thats willing to make things with their hands and speaking their minds. if everyone was like that it would be a better world to live in.

[Dragon6282]

Im an ididot? No, an educated individual I am, and I know you don't what youre talking about, because the division of power in the whitehouse is like that of the division of power between Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Zeus has the most power, poseidon has slightly less, and hades has no real power, but catches all the crap. senate is a jerk who holds all the power, congress holds slightly less, and obama and every other president has no real power but catches alll the crap.

[Walkerf150]

@Dragon6282 Senate is a part of Congress. It's the Senate and House of Representatives that make up Congress, but you have an interesting concept lol

[dunin1777]

yea this video reminds me of growing up in Montana and it's true if you allow yourself to live this way... god bless all...

[iwannarock58]

If people nowadays would live like this and take this simple advice to heart,the world would be a whole lot better place!

[brosia1000]

the guy in the video points WAY too much but I like the sentiment. It's appreciation for old fashioned virtues and ways of living life is exceptional and I wish we had 'em today

[dansbeary55]

GOOD SONG

[barbidoll0]

[emeraldangel4life]

[kozigirl81]

Honestly, I'm not spamming, so message me, and I'll give you a link to the site I use to get mp3's from youtube. Sorry to seem like a spammer, but I have trouble sometimes too, and wouldn't mind helping someone else out. :D

[Wargoat6]

Just lost my grandmother. Died at 96. Reminds me of the grandmother in this song. Only met her three times and talked to her only once (she's lived in Honduras and I didn't learn Spanish until high school). She was tough, adventurous, and sweet. Looking forward to spending time with her in the Hereafter.

[coffeecoffee25]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[GOPmnster]

God Bless these two boys. May their brother Ronnie rest in piece, as well as the rest of his original crew. Southern Rock will live on forever if we keep it going. Never stop listening, it will always treat ya good.

[Ghostrider98745]

[Smeagol3019]

Too bad Ronnie wasn't there to sing this album with them... Nice they (co) dedicated it to him though

[BoromirGurl26]

@Smeagol3019 Ronnie was probably singing through them God Bless those Van Zant boys I love all three of them especially my Johnny

[Kid1881]

I agree. Obama will be the downfall of this country!!!!

The Best Song Know-ones ever Heard

[bad74maverick1]

I hope my generation will wake up and stop mooching. By the way I would like to apologize to the older generations for mine, we seem to be a generation of people that want something for nothing and that drugs that are just great. I want us to work hard and be proud of where we live. I'm not against change as long as it's change for the good.

[econorob66]

anyone that looks at this video will see this comment....some OBVIOUSLY dont know van zant and what donnie and johnny stand for....AMERICA and not the socialist America that some want at this time....Just take a look and see what the song stands for.....working hard for what you have, never take anything from anyone, etc etc...it isnt a hard mix, just what america needs now is all:-(

[jbe1967]

Ok how many people have people in their lives this?..I do and I think God for everyone of them..they taught me to be strong..NO games played..

[TheOrd68]

awesome song 

[JohnnyThunders777]

Thanks for posting this video...

This is my roots, my life, filled with highs and lows.

Thanks again...

[megashot5]

11 people fail at helping people

[sc4r3cr0w1]

this great song

[stowsea]

I felt like this was his version on simple man

[bulldog33341]

Get right w/ the man!!!! everyone needs to go there

[daisymay192]

i don"t think van zant gets enough credit. I think they're great

[csrogers87]

I think this stuff is great but just doesnt compare to the legacy they already have with .38 special and skynyd!!!!

[tnleggs59]

i sure wished they'd take a little time off from 38 special and lynyrd skynyrd and get together and put out another album, i love these boys

[HordeFTL]

@tnleggs59 I agree, Van Zant create some really catchy country songs!

[inteligentvtec]

HELL YA IM AMERICAN!

[TheTractorguy140]

this song is about my granma an granpa thor my grandad did get high on the bottle my granpa drinked hard 

[hannahinthesun]

Sooo ... Obama has nothing to do with this. Really.

[mexicantlivehere]

I am so sick of the muslim bashing. Muslims aren't bad people extremist are. What if they blamed christians for everything the klan done? I'm a christian btw.

[TruxSkillz1]

@mexicantlivehere you can't be christian you got fucking mexican in your name.... see say shit like that is racist but hey whats it mean to me

[inteligentvtec]

this song is boss!

[MrPamelanygard]

BY THE FUCKING WAY OBAMA, OSAMA, HUSSEIN. FUCK EM BOTH AND IF UR AN AMERICAN PLEASE DONT VOTE MUSLIM NEXT TERM. I HATE HIM AND HE IS NOT BLACK BY GOD I HAVE BEEN THERE AND OBAMA OR OSAMA WHATEVER HIS NAME IS AINT BLACK!!! HIS POOR DADDY HUSSEIN IS DEAD. !!!!!!!!OUTLAWS mc

[washingtonboy09]

reminds me so much of my great grandfather, ralph. He is what this song describes

[qazpan]

When Johnny Van Zant says "I'm American" I get chills

[VirulentINSANITY]

Great message, love the song itself. He's not the best singer though :/

[classicrockfan14]

Shut The Fuck Up about Obama and listen to the Damn Music

[quasarqueen]

@classicrockfan14 haha.. damn straight!!

[darkage1978]

@classicrockfan14 little bit of nerd rage there buddy? ... Face it, obama is a joke who was elected by people just like you .... or your parents, which i can only guess their fail has passed down too you .... next time you think too speak, or type for that matter .... stfu.

[UHSBK57]

@darkage1978 Not gonna lie I voted for him but I regret it now I fell for the ol politician lies. Now hes wanting to shut down my job before im out of college

[m109r67]

@classicrockfan14 Piss on Obama the muslim.

[reversemeat66]

I hope you aren't that uneducated to think that is just Obama. Maybe you should think of the senate, the media, and our whole nation in general. The president is just a signature and a face for our country. But I guess G.W. Bush and Reagan were good presidents too tho right? Maybe they are the reason we are in a two front war and our trillions of dollars in debt. But they were Republican so they are good men right? @fullylegit

[mrpbr2]

man this kid really took something from his daddy and rammed it right up his dads ass. he started his own stuff that would never hold a torch to lynyard skynard.

thats really bullcrap for him to do that to the band and his dad...

[MrOzzyboy321]

@mrpbr2

You do realize that Johnny and Ronnie are(were) brothers right?

[ChessieSeaboardX]

All thats missing in this video is Ronnie!!!!!

[IceTalonHawkFang]

Hell yeah im American.

No one, and i dont give a damn if is the first "black" president or the queen of Sheba, is going to change that! hell Obama hasnt changed anything except for the debt that my GRADNDCHILDREN will be paying. America should listen to middle class and poor people. Their the real polititians.

R.I.P Grandma

[LIV4JB]

@IceTalonHawkFang HELL YES!!!! Amen to that!!!!!

[donkeyku]

@IceTalonHawkFang agree  X10000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000

[beingking77]

these guys really sum it up, what they speak of is the essence of true life - way to truly "keep it real" fellas... much love....keep on keepin on... keep on tellin it like it is...

[lawnmower59]

best song

been looking for it for a while

nice video

[shineingstar54]

We all need to be praying for our country! For if we don't watch out it won't be the change we thought we were going to get! Look around, get educated, is all I can say!!

[shineingstar54]

Listen people, This is a great song! Pray for our country!!!!!!

[XanatharEye]

When I worked at an electronics store in Boise, this was one of the only videos that played on the TV wall over and over that didn't get stuck in my head and make me want to blow it out, WITH A BULLET, which surprised me because I hate country music, but clearly this is badass, what SOOO many posers in country music are trying to be.

[mygoshwhat]

Huge fan of these guys and so was Toy. . The lyrics are fantastic and true. Love it, Abbie Caldwell

[petryce1963]

I love this song so much, heart & soul. The lyrics are awesome and soooo true! Love you guys.

[LULU5237]

vraiment excellent !

[bear54ful]

Thank God The Brothers Carried ON !!

[hillbilly1958]

love this song the line i would rather someone hate me for who i am then love for who i am not

This song has nothing to do with politics. Ifhas to do with living your life and help ing others. This is the Southern way. I'm Southern and damn proud of it! I was raised to be gracious, hospitable, and tolerant. Don't guess they teach that in Texas. GOD BLESS THE SOU
