Hey There!
So it was still around July 2015 at the time, so of course, I had no school to go to, and I could endlessly listen to Shinedown's albums via Spotify. Since I had recently become hooked to Second Chance from the same album, it seemed only right to start listening to Simple Man right before this track from time to time.
I can honestly say that I love listening to Simple Man live because there is so much passion in the vocals presented, and I am instantly engaged in the song. If I were watching Shinedown live, I know that I would have to completely pour my heart out into Simple Man.
I love the fact that Brent Smith presents the song that with the fact that "it needs no introduction" because as soon as the first chord is played, you just instantly feel engaged with the song.
My Uncle Peter was always into Lynyrd Skynyrd before Shinedown, so I know just how much this song means to him. If we were to ever go watching Shinedown live, it would be amazing to just be able to sing along with everyone else!
In the past, I remember really enjoying to play parts of Simple Man on my guitar, especially since I could always get the hang of the chords. Hopefully in the future I will be able to replay this song more and more.
Thank you to you all who have stuck by my blog posts all of this time, and I hope to write many more in weeks to come!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Simple Man - Live From Acoustic City below incase you're interested!
Well mama told me, when I was young
Said 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
Ahhh
Yeah it will
Or take your time don't live to fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget that there's is a someone up above
Be a simple kind of man
Be a something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
(if you can)
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this(oh baby)if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be a something that you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
(if you can)
Oh 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 from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
So baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Said 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
Ahhh
Yeah it will
Or take your time don't live to fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget that there's is a someone up above
Be a simple kind of man
Be a something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
(if you can)
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this(oh baby)if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be a something that you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
(if you can)
Oh 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 from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
So baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
