Me and my uncle were talking about Free Bird and he said it was a sad song because it's about a breakup but it always had more of a triumphant feel to me

Yes.

Instead of getting free eh just decided to party forever to hide the pain... reflected in how the solo lasts 3/4s of the long and doesn't end, it just fades out

It's a sad premise or backstory with the push to move on and rock on once the lyrics are done.

9 minutes isn't even long, I listen to multiple bands with 20+ minute songs

The Fabulous Freebirds never made it feel sad.

I figure "Freebird" is about someone who is free spirited but they're in conflict with some situation or priority.

Anyway "Simple Man" seems more sad than something motivational it seemed to be.

Well Free Bird is played in major and Simple Man is in minor so that probably has something to do with it

Me and my friends use to wonder what songs would sound like if you reversed them.

Like imaging a punk or metal band playing a fast loud angry version of "Simple Man"?

I find that the slower melody in the first half of the song is sad.

But lyrics-wise, who knows - like in most songs I haven't payed much attention to what they say.

The tone was always sad. I never paid much attention to the lyrics.

The beginning is kinda melancholy I guess.

Most of the song feels way more upbeat
