- I do know the song "Simple Man", and have heard many covers of it including by Brent Smith and Shinedown. But I've never done a deep listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd's composition, and am excited to finally do that today.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she analyzes to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" for the first time.

Have a great trip!
we love watching you have fun with your expressions
Hope you have fun on your trip! Great reaction. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my favorite bands.
This was my great uncle’s favorite song.
When i first started learning guitar, he asked me to learn this. I went over to his house and played it for him, and needless to say he was so pleased. Fast forward to last November, he is on his death bed and they ask me to play it for him one last time. The pure emotion was something that cannot be recreated. Everybody was crying, knowing he was leaving us. The lyrics of the song bring so many emotions and feelings This song brings so many memories i’d love to relive
Sorry for your loss. It was a beautiful story
Your great uncle has not left you forever. There is a resurrection and you will see him again. 😄
@@ToddSauve amen, God bless
my condolences … I’ve personally lost 7 close friends, just this yr.; 4 of my classmates, 3 from other grades, over, and under mine. all buddies. it’s a fact of life that u dread, but can’t skip. ours is comin up, most likely sooner than later. just hope to meet them all on the other side. only 8 of us left from my Sr. classmates, buddies. we all played football together, and did most everything else as a crew, before and after graduation… and yes, songs that we jammed to every day back then, bring back lots of memories. those memories are great to recollect, but also tough to remember.
I suggest u keep those memories of u’r uncle close, and remember him often.
😢😢😢😢😢❤
Tuesdays gone is what are my favourite songs by Lynyrd skynyrd
Absolutely!
If you from the south ya momma and your grannys (if lucky enough to have both) set your life. I was lucky enough to remember 2 of my great grandmothers and 3 of my great great fathers.
Tuesday Gone is Stunning 👌
100% right on! 😊 ❤
She's gotta check out "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" next. GREAT song about an old blues musician.
Absolutely brother!!!!!!!!!
I agree that is an excellent song for her to analyze
She also needs to listen to some other Southern Rock Bands, 38 Special or Molly Hatchet, maybe the Allman Brothers.
One of my favorites
That is my favorite from these boys
"I want my music to sound human." Truer words have rarely been spoken.
I humbly request: The Ballad of Curtis Loew
The opening lines of "That Smell " are my favorite. Rock and roll haiku. "Whiskey bottle,brand new car,oak tree you're in my way..." Sets the scene and mood perfectly ❤
Love it. But even more " Double trouble"
And even more so, as it was based on stuff happening in the band's lives; felt like death might come callin' soon.
Pretty certain that line was about Gary Rossington.
Sure was because shortly before That Smell was written Gary Rossington hit an oak tree with his brand new Ford Torino after partying Ronnie wrote That Smell as a wake up call for the band
Allman Brothers...Whipping Post.
Marshall Tucker Band...Cant you See
❤❤
Whipping post, hell yeah 👍👍👍
One way out, Hot Lanta, Midnight Rider...
Actually like Frank Zappa's cover of Whipping Post better
@@christophertaylor9100 I was not aware of this. I'll be back...
I feel like she'd probably enjoy "Heard It In A Love Song" more simply because of the various instruments they use in that song.
This song can make the toughest southern man break into tears. Regardless of how big they are, they listen to their mamas and remember their words of wisdom from childhood. Skynyrd was a more diverse band than many people give them credit for. They tend to remember the hard rockin' power songs, but this is one of their greatest songs that is just as powerful. Please check out their best underrated song, "Comin' Home".
It finally hit me.
This band is kind of a combination of rock, country and the talking blues
@@MonkeyJedi99 Pretty much what southern rock is.
It's like Forrest Gump and his: "Mama always said..."
Ronnie Van Zant was an unpretentious man who had a lot of wisdom, common sense and a lot of self-confidence. While many rock bands were singing about sex, drugs and rock 'n roll as fun he placed that and every topic in his lyrics into naturally thought-out, truthful, and caring perspectives. He did not have a wide range, what he had was more honest and sincere than most.
Ronnie Van Zant was foremost a Simple Man.
Ronnie was also a demanding band leader as they would practice in their small rural studio for hours on end until Ronnie was satisfied! Skynyrd’s musicianship was phenomenal and quite perfect!
@@lantoseYep, they called it The Hell House. Ronnie was driven, and the band were trying make this something great and they succeeded. We all got robbed in the end.
@@notablindliberal896 that was a bad day along with SRV! I saw Skynyrd in ‘75 all original except for Artimus Pyle! I guess it was ‘76 when Steve and Cassie joined, though never got to see them other than the #1 outdoor concert on CZcams in Oakland playing Freebird! They both grew up in Miami, OK about an hours drive from Tulsa where I live and there is a memorial in town. Saw them an additional seven times and they were all great. Saw Rossington/Collins on their last concert on 9-19-1980 when Allen just found out his wife Kathy miscarried and died; he was so drunk they wouldn’t let him play the Freebird solo! To this day I don’t know why they didn’t stop the concert for Allen’s sake! Got to see the Atimus Pyle Band in Dallas around ‘97 and it was awesome! Have a great day!
@lantose Yeah, I think Cassie joined in late 75 and then Steve in May 76. I still believe Steve was the last piece of the puzzle, no knock on Ed King, but i think they were on their way, and yes, SRV was a hard one to take. That man is an absolute legend guitarist. RIP to all the great ones gone way too early.
He was also just as tough and hardworking as they come, an overachiever by force of will.
"Get your lust for the rich man's gold" totally changes the meaning of the verse. It's "forget your lust...".
THANK YOU! Yes, what's being sung is "fo'get your lust" -- the word as written is "forget." Country-blues modifies those R's.
How could anyone think it's 'Get your lust for...'? I mean, are they even listening to what the song's about?
If you weren’t sure, the lyrics are printed on the gatefold of the original vinyl…
all that you need is in your soul,,, goosebumps after all these years.
@@cotadog4472 I get goosebumps on the first riff.
My mom passed in 98 when I was 25. Every time I hear this song, I swear I hear her voice just saying those same, simple lessons. Be content. Find joy over happiness. Love is better than gold.
It always feels a little bereft, and deeply comforting.
I have been a dedicated fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd since 1974. When you mention that Ronnie's not exactly on pitch every time, it reminds me of why today's music is so fleeting and has no longevity. Here we are 50 years later listening to an imperfect pitch because the music and vocal have a soul. I have always noted is that music that is relevant 50 years later is a sign of creativity that conveyed its message as it was intended. All the members are gone now. They gave us a gift that we can replay in our cars, minds, tv's and computers and never let it die. We fully intend to keep it alive.
RIP to all of our boys and girls from Jacksonville. Heaven is rocking harder than ever with you all there and together again.
#lynyrdskynyrd
#southernrock
#freebird
The older I get the more emotional I get hearing the classic songs. If you don't get goosebumps or tear up once in a while, you are listening to the wrong music.
Also, these lyrics are words to live by.
Well said and I agree with every word.
Me too, absolutely!
And when you have a son you reflect on your own life. Its the hope that your son will do better than you have. Its a mixture of remorse, hope, and happiness. The plane crash happened just as I found out about their music. I'm kind of old and this song digs up more emotions every year. I like the Muscle Shoals recording of this song too. It is different. This one is better. It has more emotion in my opinion.
You are so right! Thanks for the comment.
This song is often chosen as themusuc for the mother/son dance at weddings in USA
Skynyrd has always amazed me in how all 3 guitarists blended together so well. They always found their place in each song, made really smart decisions on how to accompany each other, and never stepped on each other’s toes. All were so skilled and yet disciplined enough to check their egos. Hard thing to do.
They really practiced their arses off, is how they always had such good blended harmony with their guitars.
The Outlaws had multiple guitar players , the song Green Grass and High Tides has a long guitar segment.
@jimb5045 Fun fact: In 1970 ish, my older brother was a member and was a the "roadie" for the Outlaws, before they were the Outlaws when they were just a cover band in Tampa. We had a 1980 VW micro bus, and I helped my brother fir & arrange the instruments (mostly the drums) into the VW. My brother figured out that the band only wanted him for the "roadie" issues that he provided and he left the band. He played a very wicked trumpet, so it didn't blend with the band's desire to go forward with Southern rock. What could have been...
Great point.
@@walter2990 And Ronnie had high demands. He was no doubt a big part of keeping everyone in their lanes.
Those of us (men) near the end of our run have always longed for these things mentioned in this song.
The lucky ones, hats off & a salute to you! 👍👴🦸♀️🎶🇺🇸🦅
100% metastatic cancer is going to take me unless I outrun it. I have a motorcycle and a road to run.
Money itself is not evil, but the LOVE of money is where the problem begins.
Correct, the actual Biblical quote is "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil"
Money is necessary for us all to work together. Accumulating money for no other reason than to do so should be criminal, but generally isn't.
@@randallpetersen9164 - I agree. And there’s nothing wrong with using money to earn and buy what we need. It’s when we always want more, i.e. bigger, better, faster, that our hearts turn from one another to “stuff”.
Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, but people seem to always forget that so is Envy, why?
@@pulsarlights2825 So is rage
When it comes to power ballads, it doesn't get better than this.
I agree unless you are a musician. freebird is a hell a song but if you play music you get sick of it and stairway to heaven. Mainly freebird is you from the south.
thanks
Lynyrd Skynyrd is definitely a legendary southern rock band of all time and still activate today.
So to speak none of original members are left and yes Southern Rock legends
Is it amazing that late Ronnie's brother Johnny and Skynyrd members still rockin' cross the country.
Well, it's true that when Gary Rossington Passed away last year.
I’ve seen them play live probably a dozen times. Even met Gary backstage about 5 years ago. After he passed you could very easily tell a founding member was no longer in charge. Songs in their set list changed. Sound changed. Sorry it will never be the same again.
NIGHT MOVES by Bob Seger. It's simply a Perfect song. Melts me every time. Especially now that I'm in my older years. Hits me hard!
One of the most unique and iconic voices of rock. I'd be happy for any of his big hits to get the CV treatment
Interesting fact about this song: the producer Al Kooper, at the time, did not like this song and didn’t want it on the album. After sometime of arguing about it, Ronnie Van Zant escorted Kooper out of the studio and to his car. He told him to take a couple of days off until they finish the song. Kooper ended up playing the organ on the song and admitted he was wrong.
Melissa, by the Allman Brothers, definitely a keeper and an absolute classic of southern rock
My first thought was isn't that an instrumental? I got my AB songs named after females confused.
24:57 - he didn't tumble over. That's string bending. Solo guitar technique where you bend the string to emphasize your emotions more. It literally cannot be pitch perfect if you're gradually bending the string & slowly going inbetween notes. It's basically a slow, often one-way vibrato. And I think it's beautiful. It hits me in the feels every time & feels so human and imperfect, yet so genuine. Basically, almost all guitarists use that technique during solos. Sometimes even during rhythm sections.
That is the blues. 😄🎸😉
One of my favourite songs by this band. Every time I try to sing along with this song my voice breaks up with emotion and tears start to flow. I love the song every time I hear it and want everyone I know to listen to Simple Man.
Thanks I'm 67 and this song makes me blubber like a big ol baby always has always will
For me, Rock and Roll was born in 1957, a very good year.
It makes me teary eyed too. I don't know your reason, but mine is that I never had a mom like that, and sure could have used one at times.
Tuesday's Gone is another great song.
Notice the lightning bolt over the head of the guy on the far right. (Ed King) That was not photoshopped or edited. That was actually captured when the photo was taken. Greatest Southern Rock band ever!
Saw an Ed King interview before he passed, he said he purposely stood off to the side a bit during photos- he felt like an outsider in the group
@@gilkaelin8590 Yep. He was from California.
An often overlooked Skynard song is "All I can do is write it in a song" about enjoying family and nature before "progress" covers it all in concrete. Very heartfelt song as this one is
one of my favorites.
It's a great song and unfortunately prohettically very true ,
Am I Losin, about Ed King leaving the band and losing their friendship.
My mom and I danced to this at my wedding reception back in March.
One of my best friends back in the day did the same.
Hardcore Skynyrd fans loving getting to watch you appreciate the band more and more ❤❤❤
Recall, this was released 50 years ago (1974) and is so well done....Even by today's standards. I like the deliberate pace of Skynyrd operates at. Truly a fantastic group. Thank you, made my day!
I saw them in 1974 with Chicago and the Doobie Brothers. There was Ronnie VanZant prowling center stage in his bare feet. He didn't have the greatest voice I ever heard, that was probably Greg Lake, but he had a powerful stage presence. Musically, they were amazing.
What a great line up
I agree with a comment requesting you to check out .38 Special. They were formed by Ronnie’s younger brother Donnie Van Zant and Don Barnes also in Jacksonville Florida. Another great southern rock band.
My uncle loved Lynryd Skynyrd. Shortly after he passed, I had a little fender bender. This was the first song I heard on the radio when I got back in my car. I swear it was him checking on me. Since that day, this song has always made me think of him.
Elizabeth if you love Skynyrd, you have to check out The Black Crows. They are personally my favorite southern rock band of all time. Chris Robinson has one of the best voices on the planet. The guy can sing rock, blues, gospel, you name it.
Truer words have never been spoken, i have lived my by these words and still do 60 years gone.
Oh. Elizabeth,
Thank you for your inimitable, brilliant analysis of this classic Skynyrd song.
I'm 80 years old this is my favorite song (along with Freebird) from one of my all-time favorite bands.
Southern Rock will never die - and Lynyrd Skynyrd will lead the way. 👍👍👍👍
Like others I would recommend 'The Ballad of Curtis Lowe', 'All I Can Do is Write It in a Song', and 'Four Walls of Raeford'.
This song should be required listening in high school. Just a great message!
I was 11yrs old when this song was released...It's always been my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
This bass line is so awesome.
Wonderful track with a great meaning,the album is a classic .
Yep, every single track.
Skynyrd's composition of nearly all of their songs is masterful. As I younger listener, I didn't always have the appreciation for how they composed their catalog. As an older listener, you do not find very many music groups that have such mastery in song composition. Nearly all of their instruments tells its own story at the same time as the song. Truly masterful.
I was fortunate to live through the golden age of rock music. These songs sure hit differently now.
A great song by Skynyrd to follow up after doing Freebird.
Shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and Gary Rossington's mother died, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them. "We just put down in a song what our mama or grandma had said to us," Rossington told Paul Ingles. "They really wrote it, we just played it."
Bernice Rossington died in 1998.
You are half right shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother passed Ronnie was telling Gary stories about his grandmother and Gary mentioned that he was taught some of the same wisdom from his mother so they wrote this song to share that wisdom with the world
This is my favorite song by them with a great message. Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. It is very sad what happened to this band in losing so many members in a plane crash in 1977. They had lots of great songs such as "Free Bird", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Call Me The Breeze", "Tuesday's Gone", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name", "Gimme Three Steps", "Saturday Night Special" etc.
As a professional drummer, I look at the use of cymbals as the punctuation at the end of a statement. This song is a good example of that.
The emotional connection between mother and child can be a beautiful thing.
Simple Man is one of the jewels. Ronnies lyrics still are producing goosebumps EVERY time I listen to the song.
... Another song, a different era, a completely different type of music, but still... the same effect: Elisabeth, take a look at (and listen to 😊) "Midnight" from YAZOO with Alison Moyet, superb. [Spoiler: 80s electro]
My favourite Lynyrd Skynyrd song! ❤
These deep dive videos are some of my favorites. Please Elizabeth, show me how to love my favorite songs even more!
This track and "The ballad of Curtis Lowe are two of my favourite Skynyrd song's ever, just beautiful ❤
As a Southern girl, I've always loved this song. But it took on even more meaning when I became the mother of a son myself.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was masterful at manipulating space in their compositions and arrangements. It's why if any common bar band just plays the chords and does a few signature riffs,, it doesn't sound nearly as good as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Because Skynyrd songs are usually a pretty complicated, if sometimes subtle, jigsaw puzzle. It's really high level arrangement, it really is.
In the fall of 1973 I first heard this song on the way to gig my band was playing. The drummer had an 8 track and pushed in the player and I was floored. "Simple Man" in particular has been somewhat an anthem for me ever since.
After hearing Ronnie sing the original, now you can understand why this song meant so much to Brent Smith and truly resonates with so many of us
So glad you returned to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Since you are enjoying southern rock I'd like to suggest the band Larkin Poe. The band is fronted by two southern sisters and with every song they demonstrate their extraordinary talent and dedication to their craft. Their live cover of Wanted Woman would be a great place to start or Blood Harmony from their latest release.
I love Larkin Poe!! Also some women blues singers such as Beth Hart, Samantha Fish and Danielle Nicole.
I agree, and Megan's slide guitar should be considered a "Voice," in its own right.
I’d second this and second a vote for Samantha Fish.
Lots of live performances for both on CZcams as well.
Love the message of this song!
Elizabeth, listening to your analysis and watching you react is making me cry uncontrollably ... tears are falling.
Ronnie Van Zant employed those little asides and that huge contrast between the present voice and then relaxing like you're saying something from a distance or as a different person or just as an aside. It's one thing I love about his style.
And when playing live, it also acts as a way to kind of conduct the band and let them know that a solo is coming up or that something's going to repeat.
Your SRV video just hit 1 million views!
Please check out Life Without You live at the Capitol Theater! You get to hear his voice a lot more and even see him accidentally pull his tooth out mid solo!
If you're gonna look into southern rock please think about "Highway Song" by Blackfoot and "Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers. I think you'd appreciate the vocals in both
The "confined" quality of the intro guitar is an effect pedal called a Compressor. It's used in a lot of genres, but especially Country and Southern Rock.
As you get older it gets better and better. Both my parents are gone now and those memories of them are all i have left. The simple life becomes more important. Life is too short to hurry through it so take your time. One one the best songs of all time in rock. Thank you for sharing.👍
I feel like Blue October would be a terrific group for you to tackle one day! The lead singer, Justin Furtenfeld, has a great story and a deeply emotional voice that he expresses with, especially live. The songs Fear, Hate Me, or Calling You would all be good jumping-off points for the band if you're interested! The band's messaging really meshes with your encouragement of good mental health as a lot do their songs I personally find very cathartic during rough times.
If it's a mental health journey through BOC then 'Veteran of the Psychic Wars' is a good start. Great idea!
Bad Company also have a song entitled, Simple man. It's a real beauty for this channel.
The 70’s. Stripped down and simple recording. Classic!
How many times can I get goosebumps in one video.
I have always thought of this song and "It's a gift to be simple" as comparable in message. Style is way different obviously but it is amazing how similar they are in implication.
Never thought of that!
Can't wait to hear this ❤ My all time favourite song and decribes me perfectly. Big LOVE.
Lynyrd Skynyrd with the lineup they had from 76 until the plane crash in my opinion was the best band ever. They do things to my spirit not many bands have ever done. Such a talented & gifted bunch.
Ain't nothin' wrong with hearin' Skynyrd many, many, many times
Let go! A great heartfelt song we love to hear.
Hi Elizabeth, i'm loving your analisis and reactions, i'm big fan of lynyrd skynyrd and most of all I loved your ACDC reactions and analisis on Bon Scott's voice.
If you are interested in hearing one more song from Bon and explore a register that is almost not present in any other ACDC song (and one that I really believe you would love), i strongly suggest and recommend you to check out "Ride On" where Bon expresses with a lower register, bluesy style, dropping a lot of feeling into the lyrics. You would love to know this one, and me and a lot of people i'm sure would enjoy watching your analisis and reactions over that song. It's definitely a must for fully understanding Bon Scott as a singer.
Thank you and Keep it up I love your work!
This is my favorite Skynyrd song and one of my top 3 songs of all time.
This is one of my all time favorites. Such a simple song for a Simple Man like myself.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is among the best . I would love a reaction of “cool change “ by the little River band. An oldy but sooooo good. Also more Rush pls lol. Love all your reactions.
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
My mother passed away when I was 3. I have been told this was her song to me, literally her only son. Thank you for this video
First time hearing this song and album I was 11 years old. My dad took me with him for a day trip to Fayette Missouri, where dad was installing a furnace and AC for a friend. While I was just killing time, the owners of their house put the promounced album on the turntable and played the first song on there Marantz receiver. Was enthralled! Amazing!
Finally, Finally......you are getting exposed to the Original Skynyrd (pre plane crash). Freebird of course was the song with minimal vocals lol, but epic guitars which the band is famous for - the 3 guitar army. Great song to start on! "One more from the road" is a great live album, and there is great live footage from
'Day on the Green in Oakland, CA", Asbury Park, Kenbworth, Winterland, etc. This band has quite the history, and multiple albums to choose from. Steve Gaines literally might be one of the most under rated (ronnie let him sing you got that right and aint no good life as they were steves songs) yet talented of the bunch, although I love all of the band members contribution's. They ALL did an amazing job. A few songs that would be nice to see your input on : Travelin man, Gimmee three steps, Workin for MCA, Whiskey Rock a Roller, Searchin, That smell.....the list goes on. PLEASE continue digging, and learning about this band. There is a REASON why 46 yrs later the current band is still performing the original songs.
I would love to see her do Travellin Man but the more recent version with Johnny singing it along with archived audio and video of Ronnie singing it as well
46 years later, yeah it's about the money
Those two song you got that right and ain't no good life are two of my favorites
Mmmm, Skynyrd and “Simple Man” I would call it a very good choice from Elizabeth! #Letsgettoit
So pleased you did this Elizabeth, my favorite song by these guys. As I’ve grown older, this has taken a deeper meaning…just a fantastic song with thought provoking lyrics.
"Free Bird" made me decide I wanted to play guitar. This song made Skynyrd my favorite band ever.
Great song, one song you really need to review by skynyrd is Sweet Home Alabama
I couldn't love this song and the message any more than I do. It is spiritually perfect.
I’ve heard this many times as well but I think I’ve heard Shinedowns version just as much cuz that’s all I hear. They did a great cover of this song. One of my favorites.
Lynrd Skynrd had 3 guitars on stage, I think...the dealing leads was definitely a thing. It's amazing they could hold that all together. There's a live show of them at a festival in Oakland Stadium that's pretty interesting to check out.
Fantastic song! Can’t wait for your reaction! I’d also love to see your reaction to Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Bartender Live from radio city. A very powerful performance with two acoustic guitars and Dave’s vocals. I think you’d enjoy it
Anyhoo, I love the channel and keep up the great work! Thanks for the informative entertainment!
I will be watching tomorrow!
Request - MAMMOTH WVH (Wolf Van Halen) - "I'm Alright"
Thank you for helping me appreciate this song even deeper than I could have imagined, after listening to it for 50 years since it came out in my high school years.
This song is to me is a proverb. Its message is true and timeless. Most bands have 1 anthem in their catalog, Skynyrd has 3: Simple Man, Free Bird, & Sweet Home Alabama. I so love your channel Elizabeth ❤
“Shinedown in my house” video is the ultimate version of this song. Mind blowing vocals.
lol no it isn't. It's a good version but THIS right here is the "ultimate version".
Purple Rain please! Wish whole Finland ❤
This is one of those songs that can make me tear up. Either longing for it or sadness for missing it.
This is, and has been for decades, one of my all-time favorite songs. I heard this when I was a little girl and knew I would have sons someday. I have two amazing teenage sons now. ❤
Ah, here's a great tune. Not quite as overplayed as Free Bird. Great for vocal analysis by opera singers. 😉 Why not tuesday's Gone on Tues? 😁 #MamaToldMeWhenIWasYoung...
I love this song but I always change "Remember there is someone up above" to "Remember there is no-one up above" when I sing along because it means I have to take responsibility for my actions and their consequences. Everything else is 100% on point
I agree 100%, but you know most southerners especially can't handle that kind of personal responsibility without an escape clause.
Wouldn't it be more responsibility if there is somebody to actually answer to? To me the song doesnt work otherwise, because he talks about lust, souls and ither things that dont really matter otherwise
@@jacobfischer8385 "God works in mysterious ways" and "The devil tempts us"
