This is an old Song originally done by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Shinedowns guitarist, Jason Todd, is married to Melody VanZant, the daughter of Ronnie VanZant, the original lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The kid holding the picture is a picture “grandpa Ronnie VanZant,” Jason’s child/grandson to Ronnie. Wrap your head around that. Lol

Brent Smith has so much damn soul. This is a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover

[@chelseahaley8350]

Omg!!! Yay! This is a rabbithole u could literally spend a year going down! This is a cover of Lynard Skynard's song, but Brent is an amazing singer/ songwriter! The majority of his music is very message driven and there's a reason why they are the #1 mainstream rock band of all time! I actually got to see them live last year, and they are even more amazing live! He has one of my absolute favorite voices! Please, please, please continue way down this rabbithole! They will very quickly become ur new favorite band! A Symptom of being human, Daylight, Bully, Cut the cord, Monsters, 45, Get up, Dead don't die, Planet Zero, How did you love, If you only knew, Save me, Second chance, Dysfunctional you, America burning....Holy shit...I could go on and on!!

Shinedown are one of those bands that just dont have any/many bad songs. Even this cover was superb.

[@michaeldukeman3667]

Hearing Shinedown sing this song live is absolutely amazing. Several songs of theirs are amazing. Such a great band and vocalist.

[@scottjswenson]

99% of Shinedown's music addresses mental health (including addiction) and injustice. The list of "what is next" is MASSIVE. Yes, they are as good live as they are in the studio. There's a whole concert series that was a "storytellers" show. Brent would give the backstories on the songs. What a Shame, 45, Burning Bright, Save Me, Beyond the Sun if you are going back in time. And you should go back in time and move forward. You will understand why Shinedown Nation exists.

Usually I don't like covers but they killed it!!!

[@genAirRecc]

my mom loved the Skynard version and wrote it in my baby book. I've always welled up at least a little anytime I hear this song. I saw Shinedown in 2005 at a single day festival in Texas in the summer. no shade except in the bathrooms that had no ac. they ran out of water. This mfk'er single handedly sang life back into a crowd that was just trying to not melt or spontaneously combust from the heat. before that, I knew what a front man was supposed to be in theory, but this dudes singling chops, along with his ability to Rizz the crowd, he made me understand. I didn't even really like their music but i still went out of my way to see them like two more times over the next few years.

[@brianbreckler9685]

1973 song written by Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington (Lynyrd Skynyrd). You should react to the original.

[@cbdawg4242]

Beyond stoked you are getting into Shinedown. This is my favorite cover ever. Check out their originals Cut the Cord, Devil, Call Me, Devour, and Crow and The Butterfly.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

This is a great cover but my favorite ever is Knockin on Heavens door by GNR and then Unchained Melody by Heart

[@leannmiller7153]

After Lynyrd Skynyrd bandmate’s Ronnie Van Zant’s grandmother and Gary Rossington’s mother died, they were reminiscing and sharing stories. Gary came up with a chord progression, Ronnie wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years. They wrote the song in about an hour. That’s Ronnie Van Zant’s granddaughter holding his picture in the video. His daughter was married to the one of the guitarist’s at the time.

[@leannmiller7153]

@At-tele-gra.m_MrBlackPegasus I’m not sure if you’ve reacted to any of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s music yet. They are a Southern Rock band formed in the ‘70’s. Most famous songs are Freebird, Sweet Home Alabama, Call Me The Breeze, Simple Man, Gimme Three Steps. The song That Smell, “ the smell of death surrounds you”, was a warning to the band about their drug use. It would take on a different meaning when three days after the song’s release, on October 20, 1977, the bands plane would crash killing Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines and seriously injuring the rest of the band. Ronnie’s brother, Johnny, reformed the band in 1985 with the remaining members. The last founding member, Gary Rossington, died in 2023 while they were recording the bands 15th album.

When I was growing up in the 80s, we didn’t have all this technology. Things were simple and guess what we didn’t have a care in the world. We were happy I wouldn’t trade my life for this new generation today because they got the entire world looking at them, and on their shoulders, and every little thing they do will decide their future that’s crazy

[@jimmydean7219]

The sensation you’re looking to describe is called “contentment.” You can have all the money, the nicest cars, and eat the finest food. But without contentment and being present in the blessings of the moment, these things are transient, and will leave you ultimately unsatisfied and wanting more. Whereas something as simple as a hug from your daughter is complete in itself, and provides the ultimate satisfaction of contentment.

[@dawnyoung8]

I had an NDE. As a child and my consciousness didn’t end . I had no senses , just thought . What I felt was contentment . Then with a whoosh after a while I was in burning pain and mad . Like someone that was forced awake and presented it . I stopped being afraid of the dark though . I was like 8

My daughter got me listening to the bands of the late 90's and early 2000's. I'm 63 and I skipped over this era of music. These guys are awesome!
