Sixteen singles on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts, and I've never heard of them. Shinedown, one of the most celebrated rock bands of the 2000s, takes on this Lynyrd Skynyrd (who I have heard of) song with such incredible poise and sound, it's hard to imagine it's a cover.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Shinedown for the first time, performing "Simple Man”.

Not too many adults have the ability to tap into the child-like joy that great singing brings you. It's fun to watch.

@ninjareynolds 3 года назад

I'd say enjoying great singing isn't childlike joy when it comes to a song like Simple Man which is sung the way it is here. Its more of a release emotionally. This song can make a hardened middle aged man break down in tears if trying to sing it in a way that expresses the emotional aspect of it (with help of bourbon at least). It is one thing to hear it (anyone in the last 60 years from the southeastern U.S. that listens to rock radio has heard it hundreds of times) and something else to sing it with emotion. I think Elizabeth understands that. Although there are times when she expresses giddiness about the recording in her analysis I think Elizabeth makes it clear by her reaction while listening that this recording elicits an emotional response of lament that only adults generally know.

@ninjareynolds Ever seen the movie Knocked Up? When they are talking at Paul's "daughter's" birthday and he says "I wish I loved ANYTHING as much as kids love bubbles."? It is unfortunate, but in my experience true, that most adults don't LET themselves feel the pure, blissful joy that kids feel because they/we are too jaded by growing up and the responsibilities and insecurities that come with it. I was just commenting on the fact that Elizabeth seems to be one of the lucky few that know how to set that aside, truly let herself into the moment, and enjoy the release that the music is giving her instead of having that inner monologue hiding somewhere in the back mumbling about things that most children don't even know exist yet.

@God-ck5yo 3 года назад

There is a little more of a connection to Skynyrd than just the Jacksonville one. Shinedowns original guitarist, Jasin Todd was married toMelody Van Zant, the daughter of the late, great Ronnie Van Zant, the singer from Skynyrd. Also, Shinedown got their first "big break" by regularly playing a local venue called Freebird Live. That venue was owned by Judy Van Zant, Melody's mother and Ronnie's widow. Shineown used to sing this song as a tribute to Ronnie and a thank you to Judy. Incidentally, in this video there is a little girl holding a picture of a man, the man in the picture is Ronnie Van Zant and the little girl is Ronnie's grand-daughter.

@kimnoftle8620 3 года назад

Adding to that back story, they did that cover once and never planned to do it again and then at a radio station they were asked to do a cover. They didn’t have any prepared so Barry said let’s do Simple Man. Brent wasn’t sure he’d remember the words. That performance went “viral” and they have been doing it ever since. Judy Van Zant let him live rent free for a year in an apartment so when they recorded this song he set it up so she’d get half the royalties to pay her back. This is from an interview with Brent.

He was a terrible musician/singer.

I've said since the day this cover came out that this is how Simple Man was meant to be. The amount of vocal emotion and energy behind this version fits the lyrics and the tone of the song in an amazing synergy. It's ridiculous. The range once he lets his voice bloom and the control of the tones and shaping is entrancing and endearing.

@alexmartin7873 2 года назад

Same with "Hurt" when it was covered by Johnny Cash

@merlin601 2 года назад

I cannot really agree. Though Brent is a great singer he shows it a bit to much here. Maybe it is because I am a guitarist but to me the focus is a bit to much on the vocals and the way he lengthens "simple" and "man" in the refrain is exaggerated. I think the truth would be somewhere between the original and this cover. It is definetly not that clear like "Hurt" sung by Cash which was dedicated to him by Reznor later.

@bigal7505 2 года назад

This is a fantastic cover, I can't deny. I love it. But, I don't think I can agree with the comment "this is how Simple Man was meant to be. To me, it will always be Ronnie Van Zant's song. He wrote it with Gary Rossington after his (Ronnie's) grandmother died. It is the third most popular song in the Skynard catalog for a reason.

@elinino5275 2 года назад

Great cover but hard to beat Ronnie Van Zant and the boys. There are a few original live versions from Skynyrd that are phenomenal!

@openyoureyes909jones6 2 года назад

Gotta disagree. I like Shinedown's songs, they brought nothing to this song but a louder version. Skynyrd knew when to play it softly and deliver the emotion. I cant even tell if Shinedown heard the Skynyrd version, they just made it noisier. For comparison. the crappy remake of 'I will always love you' of Dolly Partons' classic by Whitney Houston. Another louder version of a classic that brought nothing new to the table but more noise. Again, Dolly knew when (and how) to soften the vocals and really deliver the emotion she was feeling....Whitney just sang loud, and less loud. I already know 95% will disagree with me, probably on both points. I urge you to listen to both originals, then the imposters. Perhaps you can understand what i am trying to point out.

@Shady25X20 3 года назад

Would definitely recommend checking on “Smith & Meyers”. It is a side duo that Brent Smith is a part of. Brent is awesome, but he really shines in acoustic settings. Smith & Meyers does a lot of covers with less instruments. If you really want to isolate his voice check Brent out here. As for Shinedown, I’ll Follow You is a beautiful song. Monsters is awesome as well. Call Me and Second Chance….really aren’t any “bad” Shinedown songs. Glad you found them.

And they do this song acoustically evidently at every show.
