Sorry for your loss , my dad is comming up two 2 years this month , miss him heaps , laying in bed tears in my eyes thinking of him , regards from australia
Also 70, and I say this with not a few tears. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Bob Seeger wrote so many chapters of my life. All but word for word. Mainstreet....Night Moves..all but word for word...and now, decades later, Im still Running Against the Wind.
chet, im not to far behind you in age. music was what music should be back then. i was fortunate to play in some bands and loved evey second of it. classic rock is king. everyday i listen and always will. floyd,seger,steely dan, supertramp,triumph,so many. rock on brother.
Few years behind you but I remember playing in the front yard, having to be home when the street lite came on or dad was in the door waiting, drinking from a garden hose and chasing the bug man on your bike. Absolutely the best of times
Love this song, I feel like sometimes I’m running against the wind, but slowing down now, I’m 84 years old, it’s about time i guess. Just so depressed. Loved this movie, it really about life & how hard it is sometime. Today is May 9. 2024. Love you all and Pray GOD can forgive me of all of my sins. I was a late in life learning about our LORD JESUS & learning how wonderful he is, giving his life , shedding his blood for all our sins, I was a horrible person and just pray I can help someone come to CHRIST before it’s too late. If anyone is reading this GOD BLESS YOU & hope you have a great relationship with our HEAVENLY FATHER, LORD JESUS & have the HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY SPIRIT helps with all my bipolar depression. God BLESS.❤️
I read the comments below and I feel so young. Just turned 58. 1981 my mom made me go on a business trip with her and I was stuck in the hotel while she was in meetings. The second day I looked out the window and there was a tour bus there that had along the side Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band. I was a fan and I went out there and Bob was getting off the bus and we talked for 10-15 minutes. He gave me a tour of the bus and I got his autograph. He was so nice and kind to a teenager. I never thanked him. I was in awe and I forgot. I have loved his music from the 70's until now. Thank you sir for being to kind to me.
I'm from Africa and I've been walking against the wind since 2022 since I lost the love of my life, my wife and my baby who would have been born, today I'm a nomad, continuing to run trying to see her in another way of life.
My husband loved Bob Seger When he passed We played Bob w/tears Running down All faces, Bob Seger., we both Loved Bob, I still listen to Bob Seger today every song has a deep memory I'm now 71yrs, still Listening to Bob
I have just started to transcript this song to the classical guitar. I will be turning to 60s on next month. I hope l have a another decade to play it. 😀

Spent 22 years in the US Army as a paratrooper 6 years in Ranger Bn. OLD SCHOOL trooper. Had Viet Nam vets back in the 80's that taught me SO MUCH........ reason I'm alive today. 3 tours in Afghanistan 2 in Iraq invasion of Panama, Desert storm one, Somalia.......still against the wind
Thanks Doyle for your sacrifice as this song has a special meaning to many Viet Nam veterans. I consider myself very fortunate that I'm not one of those that are still searching.
I was in Vietnam serving with the Mobile Riverine Force, 1968-‘69. It was during the TET offensive. I was 19. I still remember the many that died there. I came back to the World and went to college. It was so hard as I had to face demons alone. Somehow I managed to get my life together. This song epitomizes much of my life. God be with those that never came back.
Amen. May God also be with those that did make it back for many will never forget nor live through the traumatic experiences they suffered during their tour and then to suffer the humiliation they endured upon their return home. Thank you along with all those who served.
Praise to you, sir. Those who have never experienced the loss of brothers-in-arms will never know the depth of both joy and sadness which seep invariably into one's soul. You are among the so very rare who have been simultaneously cursed and blessed. May you find some small measure of peace which so many seek and so few ever find.
Such a special time in our lives. Hearing Bob Seger & the Silver Bullitt Band just takes me back to a time that was much better & happier & free. So happy I grew up in the 70s.
Billie , Amen my friend...Amen . People today will never know or get it . Better times ,better people, and a Damn better America...but the best music Rock and Roll ,Motown, country music too . All the talented singers and song writers .. They could sing ,play ,and alot of them write their songs .. Sure wish we could turn back time . Take care and God Bless .
I grew up in the 70’s too, it was not happier and freer then. We had to protest the phony war against Vietnam, as a 17 yr old I was worried about being conscripted to fight against an unknown “enemy” that is now a popular tourist attraction. All because of the conservatives in govt in Australia. We voted against the conservatives after decades of rule and the new party brought our troops home and saved my arse. Conservatives are against freedom.
I live in a border city in Ontario across the river from Detroit, Michigan and I saw Bob Seger 3 times when he played at local high schools in the 1970’s. Unforgettable moment was when he came off the stage and walked down the stairs right passed me.
Bob Seger...... an American troubadour, telling the stories of our times for the Baby Boomer generation. What a poetic songwriter and singer! Long live Seger and his music.
Too bad the baby generation is retired or gone. Now you have to rely on this self entitled selfish weak gender bender fruit generation who is so sensitive and mental that our enemies within and abroad smell blood and will take advantage of our weakness and Godless ways. Never mind most your whores in DC are bought and paid for and could care less about the low class peasants they rule over and have no desire to really care about.
Usually when I click on 12 year old videos I find comments that are also years old. But here I'm seeing stuff from only hours ago. Speaks to the power of this song.
And to think that he was unsure about that line thinking it didn't sound grammatically correct! Grammatically correct? Damn Bob, that line is magic. Truth and pain and sadness and wisdom all in one
This to me is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard, I turned 60 a couple weeks ago, I’m coming to grips that there are only so much sand left in my hour glass. I talking slower, smiling more trying to enjoy the sand on my beach.
@@marclorrain1270 Come on guy's, You are just babies. I'm pushing 80 and can still get both feet off the floor at the same time. Be thankful you got that beach to enjoy the sand. Enjoy, life is short!
I can truly say I’ve lived through the greatest era of rock and roll music. I turn 78 soon so I’ve enjoyed great music from the late 50’s through the late eighties. This song is a real favorite.
I’m 57 now. I’ve covered the late 70’s, the 80’s, and the 90’s. Yep, great music. Many pieces has put a stamp in my life. I am forever grateful. This song, however, seems to be art imitating life. My life.
As I listen to this song I think back ti 1980 and my first baby. He was stillborn. The father was my first love, I found out He passed away from cancer, I am 64 now, We are still running against the wind,
I begin to cry when I listen to the 60’a and 70’s music. It’s such a mixture of feelings and emotions, but most importantly, it’s wonderful memories in my heart that will be with me until I depart this world. Love this music
This line is applicable in many areas of my life and so very appropriate for the time frame you've given. It is not hard for us to know where you were then. Thanks.
This song is a Masterpiece. This song takes you to that emotional place that very few songs can do. The feeling you get while listening is pure joy along with pure nostalgia. Bob Seger is one of the greats of all time in Classic Rock. Nobody can reproduce the songs of Bob Seger.
Yeah because of my love for my family and my country and my autism and disabilities and the lives I saved a being like Cinderella and probably Williams syndrome. My love for God and my naivete. Everyone i helped. My love and respect and Empathy. God blessed me with a Medical Miracle. God blessed me to help Vietnam veteran. God is Alive and God is Love and Grace and Forgiveness and that's where your energy and your prayers belong. Jesus Christ is King! Hero Terry Fox ran from the ocean to thunder Bay Ontario for real.
I’m a millennial and I hate 99% of the music that came out in my teenage years and 20’s. I find myself listening to the music my Mother (who is a boomer) played when I was a child more than anything else.
I'm someone else who is 71 and I will never stop listening to the songs who became more than a song I liked. They became friends that took me to a better/stronger place where I NEVER, EVER felt left out!!! Made many new friends from songs....now I have a lot of friends! 🌺🌺
A great song, a great video, and like so many of us, this could be me. Only more so. At 72, I'm still jogging against the wind, a slow slog till the end. Nothing has ever come close to easy for me..Never will, I guess.
I joined a carnival at 16 years old from Indiana, played this song and many of his hits while running the rides on the midway. Finally found myself, retired from the Army with 22 years, then just retired again TODAY from the Federal Government as a Federal Law Enforcement officer with an additional 18 years. Now I'll just jump on my Harley and run against the wind once more..
I heard that Brother,sounds like a plan to me.I just got Retired Myself after working for the same company for 40 years.I'm planning on riding My Harley alot more since I 've got more time than I've ever had.Ride Safe Brother.
I'm still running against the wind ,and loving every moment of it ,Bob Seger is right there beside me ,Love you Bob and thanks for the time of my life ❤💙💕 .
During my mom and d!ds divorce I remember sitting alone no furniture, just a turntable and listening to this album , I swear my dad's pain was transferring to me ,he didn't know it
Than you in a way it gave me the appropriate way to look at the music a sad good think and a good sad thing, to appreciate the emotions songs make you have and relive, good or bad
Been some time since I heard this truly fine song by Bob Seger. I was just 28 years old when I first heard it. I'm 68 now and it sounds as good as it did 40 years ago.
I can relate to this and I'm 47, just remember in 81 listening to this classic on my older brother's Sammy record player as it was yesterday. Seger to me along with Billy Joel, The Eagles & Jackson Browne wrote probably some of the best American rock music in the 70/80's.
I remember riding with my dad in an old Kenworth K 100 truck traveling Listening to Bob Seger And all kinds of other good music. I’m 41 now and he’s been gone for going on 2 years damn I’d give anything to relive those moments again and for him share those moments with his twin granddaughters like he did with me. Damn time flys.
Saw him for the first time in November 25 1978 in Rupp Arena in Lexington Ky , still got the ticket stub and T-Shirt I was 16 years old ! Still listening to his music in 2021 !
My wife were there also and we were on the first row. Don't think we ever used our seats...maybe for a couple minutes once or twice, but stood so we could enjoy and appreciate it more.
Where I grew up, we didn't have many radio options. Then the Army mid-70's. Finally there were CD's! I agree with all of the above. God Bless America while we still can.
Timeless poetic lyrics. You hear it when you are young. You understand it when you are old. Edit. Thank you all for your beautiful comments. It helps me to keep runnin
This Should Be The SONG,, For CANCER,, I Lost My Baby Sister,, 🖤 And I Think of Her When I Hear THIS,,, Thank you So Much Bob Seger for This Song,, Alabama ❤️🇺🇸
It seems like that's all I've done for 60 years of my life is running against the wind, despite what all has happened, Bob got me through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
I've been listening to Bob Seger for a lot of years now. His music is so GREAT, beautiful and sincere..it's timeless ❤ it will live on FOREVER :) it's timeless the GREATEST EVER!!!
I'm so glad I lived through these years . I might be a tad old now but this song brings back so many great memories. A great Song Bob thank you from the bottom of my heart. The 60s 70s the best time ever!
Never fails to take me back to a time when life was sooo simple. Times were tough but with the right song running through my mind, I was invincible, that & a special someone by my side
I have listen to this song in my youth ... bad skills in english, but it touched me. Now I am a 52 years old engineer - with much better skills in english - and i am still running and moving forward. Go ahead, folks. Don't give up!
@@chrisw422 You know in your heart Biden has no intention of turning this country into Nazi America like Trump does. Hopefully your heart will breakthrough to your brain
Timeless and unforgettable music. Growing up in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s were the days of my youth. I reflect back on my life after 70 years of living , working, and enjoying life with my wife and son’s. A true blessing to all of our generation of the past.
Take this from a guitarist of 60 years. And a man who has been crippled by back and hip joint pain for the last 12 ... Bob Seeger at this point in time, was the most popular "thing" in the music world, and well should he have been. This was his best song and is so tastefully written and produced, it surpasses description. And don't go running like this unless you are taking plenty of COLLAGEN ... your joints won't take it. And quit running against the wind and choose LIFE. Choose Jesus. NOW. Time is running out here in May 2022. ONLY JESUS SAVES.
I first played this song on the radio in the 1970s on WIOQ in Philadelphia, and I didn’t realize at the time that I was actually living those lyrics. Fortunately, after I got out of the radio business, I trusted in Christ as my savior in 1993, and ever since then I’ve been running with the wind at my back. Thank you Bob, for the music.
You got this!! That light at the end of that dark tunnel is another day. When you hit bottom there's only one way to go up it gets better!!! Prayers for your break thru. You got this!!!
Hang in there buddy. We all carry our scars, it comes with the territory. A lot of us are searching for shelter again and again, against the wind. A little something against the wind.
