I've always felt this version of the song is much more raw and emotional then Skynard's. Listening to this song, I see a long man, sitting on a bar stool with a beaten but loved guitar pouring his soul into his song.

Skynrd's original version of this song is like he's sharing some pearls of wisdom that his mother told him. Shinedown's version feels like his mom tried to share that wisdom, he didn't listen and now regrets that decision because he's damaged some aspect of his life.

Thank you for doing this reaction. This song means the world to me. I was a young, scared single mom in the hospital with this little baby boy in my lap not knowing what to do. I looked out at the full moon and as I rocked him on my lap I sang this to him over and over. My only child will be 26 in a few weeks. We made it. ❤

I'm your sons age, almost 26 as well and my mom used to sing this song to me. When a mother sings this to there son, knowing from personal experience, we feel the genuine love and compassion from you as the mother. It touches our souls, and inserts that bond we once had when we were in your belly. Just by knowing you sang this song your son,. I know you're a great mother and would do anything for him. Be safe and rock on! 🤘

My late husband told me Shinedown was his favorite rock band of all time. I didn’t pay attention to them until my hubby left this earth to skin cancer in 2019. When I heard this song I remembered Shinedown on the radio and when Second Chance was on KZbin I remembered that one too. So I learned everything I could because the talent has been around over 20 years. Brent Smith is my favorite male vocalist by far. Everything the band performs and writes is PERFECTION!!! 💜 Thank you for your reaction and please do more of them. Please react to their newest as well as their older stuff like this one. I wish I would have listened to them while my late husband was still Alive. Sigh 💜 Hugs 💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏

Listening to them both track and live I'd say Brent's voice is definitely laser focused. His voice can explode at a moments notice. To me, anyway, it sounds like he has even more control of his voice when it is in the more explosive moments. Not that I am by any means saying his softer singing lacks control. His belts are simply pure divination.

Always happy to see some Shinedown! They are in my top 3 favorite bands of all time, and I agree with the other comments that their live performances are also amazing. Another group in my list is the Finnish band Poets of the Fall. I find their music very unique and the lead singer, Marko Saaresto, has the one of most effortless and smooth baritone voices out there. Think you would find them very enjoyable to listen to. This is is probably the most well known of their songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnjacmNnq9OnpMU

Hello from a small island around 150km north of you Ken. Thanks for these great videos. I'm not sure if you have ever watched the show Supernatural which was filmed in the Lower Mainland. One of the two main actors, Jensen Ackles, does an amazing cover of this song. You can find it on KZbin. Also, did you ever watch David Gilmore perform High Hopes from Pink Floyd's Division Bell album? There are two really great versions in my opinion. One is titled David Gilmour - High Hopes - Live at Robert Wyatt's Meltdown and is more acoustic in style. The other is titled David Gilmour - High Hopes - Remember That Night. Would like to see your reaction to them and what you think about the two different versions.
