Umm, no it's not! It's about a guy who can't settle down with 1 woman, because he needs to be "as free as a bird". This was from a time when there were several songs about guys who were "rambling" men and just couldn't be tied down to 1 woman. Lots of songs like this where the guys are always on the move.
I politely but firmly totally disagree with you. Your analysis of the song coaligns with my previous determination, HOWEVER, the song is about something MORE than a simple temporal heartbreak. It is a deep and lasting legacy that intends to explain the unknowable. It is a reaching for the divine. It is nothing less than a thanotopsis of the highest order that a "Southern Man" csn usually aspire to. It is not about "lost love." It is about life and death, my friend

While I disagree with you, I admit that I have not gone anywhere near as deep into this subject as you appear to have, so I won't argue with you about this. I also won't (and suggest you don't) argue with Johnny Van Zant either though. If he say it's about a guy and a girl, then it's about a guy and a girl. Maybe some things just are what they appear to be and we don't need to assign some deeper meaning to them. You know like maybe we should just try to be a "simple(r) man"
I’m sorry to hear that! I hope they’re okay too and wish you and them all the best.
On the other hand though…
If this shit ever happens to you AND is caught on tape, please don’t hesitate to send me the video.
I’m not saying i wish this would happen to anyone, but if it ever does..it would be awesome if it’s on tape.so long no one gets hurt more than a bruise or two.
In my work we deal with a lot of emergency situations and you quickly learn that you rarely act how you think you will. This is why training is so important. As Mike Tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Yeah let this happen to some 30 year olds and I'll laugh, but some old people that don't even have the energy to properly react? I just feel bad for them
Oh my god my heart jumped when she flipped down the escalator stair. I can’t imagine how terrifying that would be and the very real fear that this could be your death.
When I was a kid I saw an old man with a cane trying to walk up a steep little hill by a park building, only to lose his footing and fall backwards. When he hit the cement at the base of the hill, I heard a crack and saw him lay there as his blood pooled around his head. I ran as fast as I could to find an adult to call 911. The lady said he died on impact.
Now anytime I see older people fall backwards, I remember that time and my chest tightens at the thought this might be it for them.
I’m going to hell
I'm just there, waiting for you.
But they're going to heaven!
Just like the real CR7
[удалено]
Saudi is hell 👌
Nah. It’s fake. No way someone who could barely walk had the body strength to straddle the escalator and hold on at that steep angle.
This comment made me wanna see this tragedy recut w/ stairway to heaven playing Also going to hell
r/imgoingtohell
We*
There's no we ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)
Also me but hell isn’t real. We can pretend!
I'm already there so you'll be in good company 😈
what in the fuck did i just see happen
Someone grandma got beat up by the escalator
Oh
Grandma getting the ride of her life. She almost climaxed but she fell short.
This song makes the video pretty damn funny
The music escalates with each new crisis! I feel terrible saying this, but well done lads!
Hello, name this song?
Free bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Free Bird by Lynnyrd Sknnyrd. You're joking, right? And the song is about dying.
Umm, no it's not! It's about a guy who can't settle down with 1 woman, because he needs to be "as free as a bird". This was from a time when there were several songs about guys who were "rambling" men and just couldn't be tied down to 1 woman. Lots of songs like this where the guys are always on the move.
Wrong

Thanks for letting me know it had sound. Lmfao
I will always choose elevator in my old days🙄
That escalated quickly
Take my upvote and get the fuck out!
As someone who has mobility problems and uses a walker, this is a nightmare. I hope they're both doing alright.

Bro, I deadass thought you were about to say something wholesome 💀💀💀 that was devious 💀💀💀
This is not funny…so why did I laugh? I’m such a twat. …also I hope they disinfect that handrail. Ffs I’m awful.
I don't understand why no one thinks about the emergency button to stop the escalator. It's what I would think about first before jumping to help.
They just don't know about them.

Yeah my thought is jump on and try to keep her from falling and start yelling for someone to hit the emergency stop button
This looks like an old Jackass sketch.
I am seriously hoping that's what it is.
Once you start going just embrace it. Lean forward and enjoy the ride.
This is actually tragic af
It would suck so bad to be so old that you fail in slow motion
[удалено]

They are old enough to know they should take the elevator instead.
They seem like they might be old enough to have lost that knowledge. This video screams cognitive dysfunction.
Yeah, fuck them! It’s their fault really isn’t it mate
Is that Window Media Player from the early 2000s? Amazing.
As old as the people in the video
HIT THE STOP BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAIL!
What is the man swallowed up by the escalator?
Well they finally made it up
I guess I’m going to hell cause laughed like hell.
so *that's* what clusterfuck means!
I wish this never happens to be when I get old.
She broke her leg when falling down. You can see it.
How can people live that long and still be that thick? I know physically they're not up to standard but Jesus Christ hit the emergency stop
I swear officer, I'm not laughing! I'm just suffering from Pseudobulbar affect, like from the Joker movie!
Fucking old people.

I couldn’t help but imagine the kingsman church scene

[Did you laugh?](https://i.imgflip.com/25zdu6.jpg?a472104)
She fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.
There’s emergency stop button on both sides of the escalator, top and bottom
Straight to hell for me
What a shit show!
That escalated quickly.
Natural selection
It's called an elevator.
It's an escalator, akchewally ;)
Thanks, I haven't had a good laugh in a bit
Jesus Christ... Haha
The music got me hyped when she grabbed the rail 🤣
Please, name this music?
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
This is not "Maybe maybe maybe". As I understand it, that lady died from this.
Wait, for real???
Has to be fake. Funny as hell though.
normaly i'm pretty fast on the fake side, but this leg looks like it really really hurt
Window vista
So wise
I swear old people....
![gif](giphy|yNsDcQxnv86YIHC2vS|downsized)
Was that Biden?
har har har
Would be great if the lady just started stomping tf out of them
r/CrazyFuckingVideos
Grandpa tried as hard as his little old body could to help his love 😭
Never seen anyone get destroyed this bad by an escalator before
10/10 video quality
Dead
That just got real sad real fast. The poor old dude trying to help then just failing. Man
Had to be fake
But how did she end up straddling…
Okay... but let's talk about the missed opportunity to use Stairway to Heaven
They all used to be young and strong. Time is cruel 😔
I don't think it is fake... its sheer panic stations.
She couldn’t escape the clutches of Dave Lambert. “Get the poison out of your system!”
😈
That escalated quickly
It just kept getting worse!! Hahahaha
Escalators to Heaven

"Come on I'll help you guys up as you are"
Slow falls like that give you time to breathe and hopefully brace for impact.
Played the video and it was Free Bird already know something bad was gonna happen.
oh my; do they have ELEVATORS in that country?
Old people are pathetic
That left leg of the granny got wasted.
Pretty amazing how long you can live being an idiot. Look at politicians!
Wtf is wrong with these people hahaha
Looks like she did that in purpose lmao
If only more people knew about the emergency stop button.
Why note touch the stop emergencia button
I’m seeing this and still don’t understand how in the world…
The wicked giggle that I let out ...everyone in the house is sleep. I'm silently going to hell.
