I used to play this song with my son who was born 11/23/83. He passed 3/25/2018. This brings tears EVERY time I hear it. I saw Lynryd Skynryd four times. Twice before their 1977 crash. Their music will be around long after I die. To be played at my funeral too.

If your like me, a gen x 54 yr old, then I want you to know that as a kid I never really paid much attention to this song. But now it hits me like a good sermon from a preacher who tells you what you need to hear and not want you want to hear. It moves me. It scrambles hope in with acceptance of past mistakes. It gives me peace. If you get a chance listen to "Between a Laugh and a Tear" by John Cougar Mellencamp off his Rain on the Scarecrow album. You won't be disappointed i promise you. May God bless you.

I have always loved this song. It never gets old. I grew up in the 70's so I was blessed to see them in concert with the original members. There will never be another Skynyrd, they were one of a kind. They left us with so much amazing music to enjoy and cherish forever. I will always love Freebird and many songs from Skynyrd.

[@sharonreitzel9264]

Where and what year did you see them? We saw them in September, 1974, in Charlotte, NC . I got married in December, 1977, but the 2 most vivid memories were October 20th, 1977, when the plane went down. And August 17, 1977 when I heard the breakthrough on news when Elvis died.

My mom passed away from cancer years ago. I had an iPod she would always like to borrow. While she was home on hospice & while she still could, she managed to load this song on It was months before I even wanted to listen to music. When I finally did there was a folder labeled mom, this one song.. still cry every time I hear it as a 45 year old man. Gave her the grandchildren she always wanted a few years later. She obviously never got to meet them but she's with them. My daughter is named after her. She has her middle name for her first name & first for her middle.

U know January 3,1970, my G-unit took me to their last concert at the old Greenville colonialism on that cold night they flew out from the old Greenville downtown air port that's still there. It was a hell of a concert Charlie danials was there , toy Caldwell also 1 other band also; I forget their name, but the concert ended at 1 or 2 in the morning and woke up next morning it was all over the news my papa was a highway patrol man back then.. yep definitely remember that one😢

I saw Lynrd Skynrd at the Altamonte Mall the 2 days before they died. I laughed and treasured 4 hours with Ronnie Vanzant with his arm around my neck telling everyone i was his buddy. Then the next night i saw them play at the Lakeland Civic Center. And before they played Freebird Ronnie anounced that this one goes out to his buddy and said my name to 30,000 people. Thenthey played in Mississippi then crashed all within 2 days after spending 4 hours with the entire band and Ronnie parading me with his arm around my neck "his buddy" Forever your buddy Ronnie Thank you for the eternal love and memory. I am Faith in God Faith ✝️ Hope 🙏 Love ❤️

Matt, we've been messaging since before you released The Shore. You have truly saved my life. I Love you for shining light on the shore so I could stop sinking and finally realize I have worth. My family needs me here, not stone-cold in the dirt. I'll never allow anyone to try to drown me again. Love you my brother ❤

It never left you. Surround yourself with it.

This has always been my song to my 2 sons. I wanted it to be the Groom/Mother song at my oldest son’s wedding. But it is a little too long. I told my hub when my time comes … I want ‘this video’ song played at my funeral. It’s perfect! ❤️ ❤️
