Simple Man is my favorite song and Lynyrd Skynyrd is my favorite band. I get very nervous when someone tries to sing this song, and Audra did a fantastic job on it! The guitar playing was spot on along with the rest of the band. Great cover. Great job First To Eleven!
Stumbled across F211 in my nightly state of insomnia. It is now 3am and after an hour and a half of listening to everything I could find, I am hooked. Simple man is a deep and complex piece and this cover does the song, and "LS", great justice.
"Simple Man" Mama told me when I was young "Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day" "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, son, there is someone up above" "And be a simple kind of man 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" "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need 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 Oh, 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" Oh, yes, I will "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 for you, my son, is to be satisfied" "And be a simple kind of man Oh, 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?" "Baby, be a simple, be a simple man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of simple man Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?"
This is such a beautiful song. Audra just killed it so well with her brilliant vocals and you guys compose such music to do it full justice ! Kudos 🙏. Keep going and don't ever stop 👍👍
Very cool song choice! Always liked the song but never thought of it as something F211 would or could cover. Definitely not only did the song justice, but did a terrific job on it. Hats off to you guys!
I'm so proud of them for this one, honestly. It was a great finish to the livestream, and one of their best renditions of any song. Then again, they're getting better and better, every single week.
You folks are killing it, keep it up!!! Any chance of trying The Ballad of Curtis Loew? Haven't heard Mathew on the slide guitar but that guy has got some mad skills!
omg @F211 Bonkers pls respond to this comment I just had an enormous breakthrough!!!!!! I was just watching the "Teenage Dirtbag" cover and in the bridge out of nowhere Trevor popped in and started singing in the bridge, plus Brooke and the boys! I was so shocked! We have seen them sing before in the videos, like we're seeing more and more recently like in "A Lack of Color" and "Girlfriend"!
