    I don't have a lot of time left on this ship we call Earth. But today, just this moment, I came to realize that these lyrics describe my heart, for my criminal son,,,,whom I love,,,,but is lost and is dying and alone on the ship of un-simple men! Thanks for the tearful moment.

Not yet disccovered ones, millionaires already discovered ones. Still putting up a video every couple days. If she was serious she'd be grinding a lot harder, or maybe if she had some talent worth refining(maybe she does who knows).

    He’s gentle, he’s simple and he’s kind. He can light up an entire room when he walks in. Everyone loves him. He’s mine.. he’s my baby boy. I used to sing this song to him while he was growing up. I hope he finds the beautiful princess he deserves.

      You are welcome. I hope you also checked Stevie's channel and got to hear some of her original songs and other covers.
      Another artist I only discovered recently after seeing her (too briefly, IMO) on "The Voice" is Savanna Chestnut. Different style from Stevie, but lots of original songs she wrote herself:
      Playlist: "Music - Savanna Chestnut" -- ArcoZakus
      czcams.com/play/PL187Ne8GR4V6I8vZz_x5EaDbMZqiK2LsT.html
      Unfortunately one of her albums that has several of my favorite of her original songs ("Small Town Lies") recently just disappeared ("Video blocked in country"). I hope that is temporary, but a few of the others are pretty good, too. If you only have time to listen to one or two, I'd suggest starting with "Marlboro Man", "Cowgirl Song", "Thank God For Good Old Boys", or "Feels Like Home". The cover she did of "Hold Me Now" is another you might like. Or not. You never know when everyone's taste in music is unique.

    God that was beautiful. My mother was recently diagnosis with cancer and although I've been trying to remain strong. There are times like now I just broke into tears because the thought of losing her hurts really bad. So, thank you I needed this to break what I've been keeping out. God bless you.

      Thank you my friend things are looking better although they need to have an eye kept on them. But, with the proper medications and prayer it looks like she'll be alright. My mother is the pillar of my father and I lives and she is the glue that keeps our family together. Thank you very much my friend I appreciate your thought.

    You need to know that your voice is angelic. My dad passed away in 2016 and I grew up listening to this song and many others, but this one the most. And your version made me cry harder than the original. I don’t let my emotions out much, but I needed this. Thanks you and never stop sharing your voice with the world - you are incredibly talented and you truly have touched my heart ♥️

    My son is 15. We've been separated by divorce. I sent him this version of Simple Man. I know I won't have the chance to talk to him the way I want. Your voice conveys the emotion and love that I so desperately want to give to him in person. I know that time will tell if he heard what I was trying to say. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world. To this mom, you shared a piece of your heart not just your voice. Many Blessings

    My son learned to play guitar at 9 his guitar teacher told me when he was 11 there's was nothing more he could teach him. He's just a natural. I love him so dearly. He plays this for me all the time. I recently stumbled upon the cover she did of in the air tonight and was wildly impressed....now I find this just must be my 🎵 musical lucky day. Sharing with him immediately. I hope he knows that even when he lives outside the guidelines of the song lyrics I will simply still love him. And I wasn't a simple person to live with. His diebetes has put him into a place where it's not so simple to simply live, it isn't for any of us...like the song says troubles will come and they will pass. I think he feels like they will never pass. I don't know how it feels to have a daily illness that needs constant attention and I feel for him so much. This song brings me to my knees. I'm so afraid to lose him.

    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
    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 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, really simple man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby, be a simple, kind of simple man
