On The Loose - 'Simple Man' (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover)

Mama told me when I was young
"Come 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, ah yeah"

(Be a simple man)

Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?
Oh, yes, I will

Boy, 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 for you, my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?

Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man

Οι On the Loose διασκευάζουν ένα από τα εμβληματικότερα τραγούδια στο ευρύτερο φάσμα της rock μουσικής, το "Simple Man" των Lynyrd Skynyrd. Το "Simple Man" το πρωτοσυναντήσαμε στο ομώνυμο [με τον υπότιτλο (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)] ντεμπούτο της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας του 1973 (το τελευταίο τραγούδι της πρώτης πλευράς του βινυλίου). Μουσική - στίχοι: Gary Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant.

Οι On the Loose μας έρχονται από την Πορτογαλία και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο full length albums (το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο τους - 2022, και το "Dark Emotions" - 2023). Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Path to Serenity" και αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του τελευταίου φθινοπωρινού μήνα. Εκεί βρίσκουμε και την διασκευή στο τραγούδι των Lynyrd Skynyrd, με τον Gianni Pontillo (των Victory) να έχει αναλάβει τα φωνητικά)...

Bio: «From the depths of a doomed winter the entity was summoned to unleash the seven furys from hell. With pride, seven manuscripts were produced on vellum to ilustrate the greed of mankind.

At midnight the bell ringer with all his envy ringed the bell, suddenly a turmoil of lust was spreaded all over with the help of the cold invernal wind.

Not all went like in the writings, sloth found a way to delay the process but the wrath of solitude took over and two demons descended to end the ritual. Open your hearts, the Devil is on the loose.»
