When Allen first showed the song to Ronnie Van Zant, he scoffed at it, saying it had too many words.. Later Van Zant had an idea for a melody, asked Allen to play him the song again, and Free Bird was born.
Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Frontman Johnny Van Zant discussed this song in a track-by-track commentary to promote the band's 2010 CD/DVD Live From Freedom Hall. He said: For years Skynyrd has always closed the show with that song and the song has different meanings for different people.
