Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man - Live At The Florida Theatre / 2015 (Official Video) 

I lost my son in2012🙏❣️😘 he sang and played music 🎼🎶 he always sang this song 💘 and dedicated it to me 💖💕🙏❣️❣️ I miss you Brian 😢❣️🙏

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 lost my mother last year and in many conversations she told me: "Never lose your humility", so this song makes me remember her and feel like she still looks out for me.

RIP for all original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.. Gone but not forgotten.. Regards from Malaysia

Now that I'm old, I realized I lived the era of great music bands.

Simple man. Simple song. Simple lyrics. But full of soul & meaning. 🔥

I went through a battle with cancer and have survived so far THANK THE LORD ABOVE 🙏

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.

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 scream this to my grandkids. They laugh and love it and sing it. A forever song, no doubt.

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!

This is sweet. Be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. God bless the simple man.

R.I.P Gary Rossington - thank you for being Simple Man and giving us simply beautiful music.

I can't be the only Northerner (NYC) who will love Lynyrd Skynyrd until I leave this mortal coil...✊🏼 RIP Gary Rossington, free as a 🐦 now. Hell of a way to get the band back together...🎸🎶🎹🎵🎼

R.I.P. Gary, Ronnie and rest. Hope you have been making awesome shows in paradise. Respect from Poland

I can't imagine what the vibe in a show like this is like

This song is a touching reminder to take time to appreciate the little things in life, and the importance of living life with kindness and compassion.Thanks to Lynyrd Skynyrd for keeping the good music alive.

R.I.P Gary Rossington. This song has touched the soul of so many people. Its stood the test of time. This song is so powerful, I don't know if any of them ever knew how powerful of a song it means to everyone thats heard it.

Every young man should hear this song. Hopefully they understand it.

I lost my son October 4, 2023. He loved this song and wrote the lyrics out for me. His name was also Brian.

This is not a song, it's like a piece of art.

Damn, this live performance is even better than the original. Never stop listening to the good old stuff. Carry it on for generations. Not only the sound, but also the meaning.

I walked through fields of gold with my sister one afternoon. She knew that her cancer was going to take her soon , but didn’t tell me and this is my treasured memory of a lovely woman.

The Twins with her Father - absolute great!!! All the best for you all and more of those gigs……

Still watching here on July 1st, 2023. It's not often that a live performance of a song is even better than when they released it, but this is one of them. My all time favorite from these guys, very powerful, meaningful lyrics. Happy 4th of July everyone, stay safe! R.I.P. Gary Rossington.

RIP to Gary & all the LS band members. Grew up with Skynard, high school keg parties were the best with some Lynard Skynard going in Northern California 1981 - 1983. Johnny is awesome taking over for his brother & Donnie's band 38 Special was great also "Wild Eyed Southern Boys".

❤❤. Rest In Peace 🕊️🕊️ Beautiful. Cassie Gaines ❤❤❤

Gorgeous beautiful words of kindness n love for a son. I lost my son 021. Affected me deeply. Miss him so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My dad died april 2021 of lung cancer. He loved music, AND this song! He was a a musician. My dad was a simple man. I miss him everyday. When I hear this song I feel him! Thank you❤️god bless the simple man!!

I have loved this song my whole life. Now at almost 75 years old I have never gotten tired of it.With 2 sons and 4 grandsons, I hope they understand it and keep doing so great stay out of trouble 😀

Fico feliz em ver que ainda existem Brasileiros com bom gosto musical 🎼 😅

This is the greatest band on earth.

Am 74, been a complicated and mean person but now have become a simple man and very happy for it. God bless

Never gets old. Just danced to this song with my son on his wedding day. Beautiful ❤️

I know I’m just a teenager but I grew up with my grandparents taste in music and it would have been so cool to see all of the original band members perform this, but much love towards this one

The first time i heard Simple Man, I thought , I was hearing a Rockin pastor singing about some of the topics God teaches us about in the Bible,like being satisfied in the simple things he provides & not to depend on a rich man's gold. "all that you need is in your soul". Awesome.😇

SIMPLE MAN LYRICS 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 yeah Oh take your time don't live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass Go find a woman yeah and you'll find love And don't forget son there is someone up above 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 Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul And you can do this oh babe 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 Oh don't you worry you'll find yourself Follow your heart and nothing else And you can do this oh babe 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 And baby be a simple real simple man Oh be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man

I'm 62 years old & I went to College in Alabama to play Baseball ⚾️ in 1980-1984 & this Masterpiece of a Rock Band was Jamming 🔥 & it's still 🔥 it's February 23rd 2023 & who else is Listening 🎶 to this Great 🎵 🎶 👍 👌 Song & Rock Band? Lynyrd Skynard 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 & World across the 🌎 4ever ❤️ 💙

I can not help listening to this masterpiece everyday...

One and only…what a message in these lyrics…so happy I got to take my son to see Skynyrd live a few years ago…I now have stage 4 breast cancer and I want him to know these words are true!!!

Hope you're staying safe out there, folks. I know that times are tough right now, maybe the toughest they've ever been. Let that song comfort you and take heart. Keep your loved ones close and look out for your fellow human beings and let them look out for you. This shit'll pass, we will survive. Peace!

This band is what you look like when you been through everything and you're still standing.

Don't forget there's someone up above ✝️ Thank you lord Jesus for blessing me every single day of my life through good and bad

I'm still young, but I'm crying when watch this performance, truly masterpiece, full of meaning,

This song is very soecial to me. My mom said that was "our song". She passed a few years ago and this song is basically all i have left from her. 😢😢😢

Quantos brasileiros aqui!!! Brasileiros com excelente bom gosto!!! Essa música é surreal! Toca na almaaaa!!! Amooo! E viva ao rock n roll nosso de cada dia!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤩🤩🎤🎸🎶❤🎶

For me, one of the 10 greatest musical anthems in Rock and Roll 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

❤❤. Rest In Peace 🕊️🕊️. Ronnie VanZant ❤❤❤❤

I'm totally sure, it isn't just a song, a great song, it's more... it's advice for all kids for the whole lifetime... This is so actual lyrics..

Ronnie could not ask for a better brother. Johnny has pretty much devoted his life to keeping his brothers legacy going, and that is more than any brother could ask for.

You guys, really deserve every single inch of credit for never giving up. Using what you know and rising like phoenix's soaring high above the stratosphere, taking your music to eternity. For ever and for always Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Absolutely beautiful. Enjoy your cherished memories

The guitars all playing in synchronisation is out of this world, the shot of the guitars in a line is brilliant too 👌

apesar de não ser cristão essa musica sempre me pega, meu falecido tio tinha um discurso parecido quando eu era criança, ele sempre falava pra eu valorizar a simplicidade da vida, as pequenas coisas e os dias pacatos, mas enfrentar os dias difíceis com a cabeça erguida e tendo orgulho de quem eu sou.

I call this video my anthem because at the end of any visit with a friend whether at my place or theirs, we would watch and sing along because it means something to so many..music inspires emotion and the inspiration that I personally receive is sent from above, a soothing energy that resonates with so many, whatever that may look like from your own perspective. 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.

Such an amazing song! Timeless.

Saw these guys at music festival in southern Alberta in 1999. Started to rain lightly but there were so many people packed closely together and full of antifreeze that the rain turned to mist above our heads and we really did not get wet. Freaking magical scene.

This song was sung at my son’s funeral he was a great son and very much loved Lenard Skinner music and especially this one.thank you.

It's beautiful ✨❤️‍🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The voice of wisdom to a Mothers dear little Son ..... & when you meet polite regular folks in public & they are friendly , they are the ones that were Blessed with a wise Mom !

God bless the band and the simple men all around of the world

I'm a simple man, I see Simple Man I click.

Music that is this good and made with feeling. It has that message touch and it's real. Nothing to show. They present it in such a way that you feel it. That leaves the feeling of wow.

I play'em loud whenever I have a chance....some fantwstic drive in this song. Love it

the fact that they are still playing this song when they are so much older gives the lyrics so much more weight; their confidence makes them look so much wiser as well.

Kids today don't know what they've missed musically in their lives, i hope there's a new generation that will carry on with this music... there will never be another 70's or the bands that filled stadiums, rock on skynyrd , thank you all for the great songs and shows and so many memories of life that you've been the soundtrack to for all of us.

This music is timeless and never gets old ! I love it!

musical world heritage, thank you for this masterpiece lynyrd skynyrd, you can bring tears to the eyes of grown men.

Lucky enough to have seen them 3 times in the mid 70’s at the peak of the original line up. Such a great band - great writing and performances.

I’m sorry you’re son is gone but he chose a really good song to dedicate to you. It’s my favorite song and it will be played on my funeral, that I’ve been promised.

This song has so much meaning i play it daily everything about it warms my heart brilliantly written

one of the best classic rock songs EVER

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man = Leggend of Music American History

Absolutely wonderful 💎

As always, a great song from Beth. Thank you Beth and please take care of yourself, we need you and your great talent! Love all your music and need more when you're healthy. ❤

This song is in my personal top 5 of all time. A dear friend once told me she thought of me as that. Highest compliment I've ever received.

Masterpiece! A legendary song! I always sing it when I'm riding my Harley Davidson

Fantastic song...so much feeling and meaning

Masterpiece

One band that only improved with age. One of the greatest rock anthems ever written.

A pocket full of good values... thats what my dad gave me. He was a simple man, my example. RIP Dad....

Thank you for this great song. Thank you Mom and Dad for your legacy always in my heart.

Best Song and Lyrics EVER EVER❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can’t listen without loosing some tears of joy and love…

the sounds of the 60s, 70s and 80s make it the best rock years, true masters of making quality sound.

I love how the old people are in the public, listening and remembering the good old days.

Good song ☘️

Collin, I've watched quite a few of your videos. You're an amazing player, but I don't think I've ever seen you connect with a guitar quite like this. Amazing!

I was blessed with three son's and sang this to them when they were babes and still sing it to them as grown men, you can never go wrong with advice like this. 🇺🇲🕊️🇺🇲

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!

the best of music!!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥

Love this song

40 years later and they still sound absolutely incredible ♥️

My brother Aaron passed in 2020 on June 22. This was his song. His best friend suggested it for the funeral. Now when I hear or I'm feeling melancholy and this song is playing I sing along. As an actual artist I feel the need to sing this song to my sons and grandson. I love the lyrics and maybe one day when I'm not so sad I'll return to Nashville and sing your song. I pray you won't mind. Texas

This song always brings a tear to my eye. Not sadness but for the love of this kind of music, the many memories it brings back.

This song always hits the heart ❤️. I'm so lucky to have grown up from the 60s with great music.

This is the kind of song every man should listen to at some point in his life

"🌹 Lynyrd Skynyrd-Simple Man this band is breathtaking and take everything away, I love you all; I don't get tired of hearing there all the time, this vocalist is a show, he has a beautiful voice 🌹"

Amazing song!

Magnificant guitaring! Soulful lyrics.

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
