Sierra Eagleson

 

About Sierra Eagleson: Blending rich world sounds with an unforgettable contralto voice, the depth of producer/musician Sierra Eagleson's sound has been stopping passers-by dead in their tracks since the early 2010s. Her first introduction to music theory was in her teenage years as an aspiring multi-instrumentalist and a member of a number of ensembles in school, where she learned to sing and harmonize. But her love of music goes further back; humming along to the music of Sting every night as a small child, being one of her earliest musical memories. In tandem with her brother Chase Eagleson, Sierra began performing and releasing covers on YouTube, in which her first few covers took flight, attracting the ears of many, later including beloved artists like Joni Mitchell, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and more.

Simple Man

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"

Oh, yeah

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
