Lynyrd Skynyrd- Simple Man- 1st Time Reaction!

[@DonHall-w3l]

Never be ashamed of an emotional reaction, that's what these songs are supposed to do, and remember, "don't live too fast", they're grown before you know it!

[@djs3715]

It makes me so happy seeing a younger generation discovering the music that was sooo much a part of my life.

[@danielslover8669]

Please don’t apologize for crying! I’ve heard it a million times and it still hits me hard.

[@Jude_196]

Ashley: That's why EVERY ONE sheds a tear to THIS ONE!! My son is 22, and he was "sat down" and made to listen to this: and, now it's one of HIS favorite songs, too!! GREAT LYRICS that TOUCH YOUR HEART!!! ENJOY - and, never feel badly about the way "a song hits you" - that's what it's FOR!!! People MAKE music to MEAN SOMETHING to the people they're trying to REACH! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!

[@MarissaM312]

Ronnie had a unique way of writing lyrics that resonate with everyone. Lynyrd Skynyrd worked their butts off to perfect their sound. There will never be another quite like them. Great reaction, guys! ❤❤❤🙏😊

[@WilliamWarlick]

Ronnie worked those boys asses off to perfect that music they presented. He was a tough man! And a genius! But a hard head!

[@anthonycorreia1311]

As reactors, we love the crying. If it’s raw emotion and true, never be ashamed of it. Real reactions is what we’re looking for! In fact, I think we are gonna recommend more songs to make you cry!

[@RonHouck-eb1cn]

They are called REACTION videos. Music affects different people in different ways. It could be a riff or chorus or a verse that triggers emotions Nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s a good song. Great reaction

[@stevelewis3414]

My wife loves this song for the same reason the young lady does. She picked the song for her and our son to dance to at his wedding.

[@MrRembrandt619]

Next is The Ballad of Curtis Loew

[@nancyj795]

Great reaction! The group Shinedown covered this song really well. I think at that time, guitar player Nick Perri was in the group. Ashley may know of his sister Christina Perri who has a few really big hits.

[@vicprovost2561]

You are not the only one who cries to great music, we all do! You are finding out about the incredible emotion musicians of that era could conjure up, they were freaking Rock Gods to us and they blew our minds on a frequent basis. Imagine hearing and seeing, living this, in real time! Grandpas music was the best music.

[@FrankBigDawgHatton]

Gimme three steps is another Skynyrd classic off the first album.

[@DonHall-w3l]

Some of their songs are just "fun", gimme three steps, the breeze, some others. Good listening!

[@duanemcmanus5116]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the best rock bands ever.......period!

[@richbeckage2515]

Love watching you guys, I am 70 years old and heard this song 100s of times and cry every time, bless you

[@raystone3172]

me too but he stops the video way to much

[@sirmister4411]

Thank you for listening to skynyrd. Their guitar work is awsome you are right

[@Brandi6666]

By far the most heart felt reaction to this tune🤘❤️

[@1960rlv]

When a song touches the important part of your life it gives you the feels. That’s how you know it’s touching you. This is not a sad song but it reaches your hopes and aspirations for your children, that’s a beautiful thing. Don’t let anyone make you feel uncomfortable for tearing up, they haven’t lived your life, they don’t know the part of you the emotion is coming from. Yes, LS is a great band, glad I grew up with this music. Looking forward to watching your musical journey. Reaction channels like yours are a blessing for some of us out here, it brings joy, thank you!

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Don’t know who did a cover, but this will be the one…only Skynyrd. My hands down favorite song by these guys. The lyrics just hit home. (Ashly, you have a beautiful heart & soul full of warmth & empathy…a gift from God.

[@MartinMcMartin]

If a song makes you cry, or just puts you in your feels, it is a compliment to the writer and performers. Some music is meaningful because it's like poetry or a story put to music.

[@merlepedigo3994]

Love y'alls reaction as always. Great music touches a good person soal.

[@dougieyou]

ASHLEY.... Your Boys are gonna be just fine cause they have you guys as their role model. You both have great hearts and it shows...just keep doing what your doing and as Skynyrd says "Don't forget that there is someone up above".

[@jackwilliams124]

Might be their best song!

[@thehonestwoodcutterbradywe8011]

You guys are doing great! Honest,emotional reactions to some of my favorites. lS is at the top if the heap for me.keep bringing that fire.I'm here for it

[@jasonwalker7916]

All of LS songs can hit you in the feels. Some serious some make you happy. But for me every song makes me feel it. I'm 58 listening to them my whole life. Still loving their songs every time I hear them. Thanks for the reaction. 😊

[@franktrig]

Best reaction I've seen. ❤

[@ChrisRoberts-jt4iy]

“I Know A Little “, Things Goin On”, “Mississippi Kid”, “Ain’t No Good Life”, “You Got That Right “…….just for starters. You’ll love em

[@WilliamWarlick]

Pretty special song, quite powerful! And you guys are fabulous reactors.

[@hilotimes7432]

All you fathers and mothers be good to one another and try to raise your children right, don't let them feel forsaken don't let the darkness take them just lead them safely to the light. Billy Joe Shaver, song, I'm gonna live forever

[@ktwebbdevil]

The Needle and the spoon,Was I Right or Wrong,I Know A Little,Coming Home,Ballad of Curtis Lowe,on The Hunt,Four Walls of Raiford,Searching, What's You Name are some more good Skynyrd songs.You can literally do any of their songs and you'll get a great song!

[@brianwalker5937]

Great reaction! I love this song. Life does not have to be complicated. When it gets complicated, it is because of the decisions I make, the roads that I choose.

[@VanGreen-c1g]

Call me the breeze Sweet Home Alabama Give me three steps Tuesday gone (Tuesday is wife name) Ballad of Curtis Loew I know a little on the hunt Whats your name you got that right gimma back my bullets

[@stephenpresley5772]

Great song and reaction

[@brianzimmerman5923]

Great reaction to my favorite band

[@cakesaregood5176]

Kids will usually do what they see. Play the song for them.

[@sam-wz8tu]

Great choice, powerful message.

[@djs3715]

Just one of so many great songs BY skynard.

[@FarAwayEyes69]

Rock 'n ROLL ! Hi Ashley ! Great reaction you guys ! PEACE !

[@Jude_196]

OH - THIS ONE GETS ME: EVERY TIME!! ENJOY!!! Hugs from Texas!!

[@Thor_7577]

I remember when the song came out and all my friends loved it and played it over and over plus it’s awesome advice to live by, but now it’s played at all the funerals I go to. Guys are doing awesome. Love your channel just subscribed.

[@5thPhoenix]

No need to apologize for your emotions coming out. You're human like we all are and of course especially if it comes to your kids it must be very emotional.

[@LordEagle]

If the music makes you feel,,,,,,it's GOOD music. 💥💥💥🤘😎

[@mrpablo9504]

Great reaction and a great simple message in this song! James Blunt - Monster is a song that leaves no dry eyes... Also Chris Stapleton - Fire Away! Bless you both

[@tawnitegal5050]

yep, that's our man ronnie on vocals. 👍

[@shamnet]

I felt the need to write this little piece. There are some songs of any genre, that I cannot watch or listen to, because it brings me to think of a son I held as he passed on, some 20 years ago now. BUT still emotions does bring crazy things with such songs. because they stir such emotion and thoughts within us. Never be ashamed becaus eyou get emotional because of any issue.. That is how songs strike within you, which is special and means a lot. My son was profoundly special needs and still I look at those who were his age about and wonder what he would have .... you know those strange questions etc.. as a poet i release on my poetry, but music has a way of striking an emotion in us, for some far different to others, but still it is an important one. Love your reactions, best wished from Ireland. Peace and love to all.

[@malikro101]

Shinedown is the band that did a cover of this song. I actually like their cover better, which is unusual.

[@decadesbandtucson4880]

Great Song And Glad It Moved You.

[@themostunknown2293]

Now you need to listen to Shinedowns version of Simple man its a great cover of it done Shinedown style!

[@leopresnell8653]

Ashley Please don't apologize for your emotional reactions to the music. If music doesn't touch you emotionally then what's the point? Plus your genuine emotional reactions to a song is so relatable to your listening and watching subscribers.

[@bre2581]

If I’m not mistaken they wrote this song in about an hour after a phone call with one of their grandmothers. Also another note about the band, they didn’t believe in writing down the lyrics or notes, if you’re gonna play it you better know it by heart basically.

[@robertcoates6800]

Wanna cry some more ? Listen to Tuesday Gone.

[@tennpsyc0316]

Another awesome Skynyrd "The Balllad of Curtis Loew" (pronounced like high/low) ❤

[@vicprovost2561]

Great song! My favorite song by them, not as flat out as Free Bird but the simple and timeless message always resonates. Next from them, do They Call Me the Breeze, great Rock n Roll once again. Saw them with ZZ Top long ago, killer show! Rock On and Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥

[@tomh1754]

Ashley you're not the first mother i've seen cry reacting to this song. no need to apologize have no regrets

[@Steve-fz9gt]

I agree with the lyrics version first on most of the videos. That way you can understand what is being said. Love your channel 👍

[@rexkimberley9537]

One of my favorites. Some of their best work. The Ballad of Curtis Loew is another one along with Gimme Three Steps. Well actually they are all good. Thank you two for what you do. You always put a smile on my face. Love from TEXAS. Check out some Steppenwolf. You will get there eventually. Take your time. This road goes on forever. Ya'll are doing great. This song touches everyone. Always reminds me of my mother. She basically gave me the same advice. God rest her.

[@garysheffield5445]

Check out You Got that right 7/13/77 convention hall it has Ronnie and Steve Gaines on vocals it's a live version

[@gmont1272]

Instrumentally Lynard Skynards is the the best, how ever Shinedowns cover Brent Smiths vocals took it to a whole other level

[@Jamesd1861]

Great one to play for ones Son/Son’s another great one is Tuesday’s Gone people say it’s about different things but it’s about Ronnie’s divorce from his first wife they married very young and it haunted him for few years

[@RONALD-ej8cj]

To be a southern rock band vanzant wrote a lot of family felt songs.

[@RONALD-ej8cj]

Try sweet home alabama and and give me three steps

[@jasonwhoever5528]

They don't have any bad songs! ❤🤘😁

[@robertwilliams4872]

This should make an impact with you.

[@johnleeshute]

Most people tear up on this one, Ashley. It's ok.

[@jeremyward2027]

First off if the music don't move you or make you want move "boogie" it ain't music!! This is a song is about what Rinnie's mom told him. And on another note. There was three of those VanZant boys also

[@AR-tx8ne]

First off, this classic is timeless. While bouncing through reaction videos, Oliver Anthony's "...of Richmond" popped up and I'll watch it every time. When you paused it n let known your feelings, I subscribed. You both are awesome. Don't know if anyones mentioned it yet, but I think the Ozzy song your referring to, played at sporting events, is "Crazy Train".

I’d like to hear your take on one of Joplin’s sadly neglected sleepers from that era: “Farewell Song” on the album “Live at Winterland ‘68” by Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin. - -

hey please do Brad Paisley he didn't have to be Whiskey Lullaby ft Alison Krauss with video Ticks

[@glenbejoe]

Thanks for the reaction from the heart. This one gets me too. So many great songs from Skynyrd. Try The ballad of Curtis Loew, it's in my top Skynyrd songs kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnLIln2FftN9bas

[@bobshaw8319]

Ashley .. no need to concern yourself with being emotional .. If this song doesn't get to you then you really don't have a pulse

[@Bill-1370]

I suggest, it's not rock but I think you both will like it, Tanya Tucker 'Bring my flowers now' it's got a great message.

[@willbrady4097]

fyi his little brother is the other guy

[@brandonlollis1506]

Greatest song ever the cover band butchers the song
