Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Against The Wind (Lyric Video) 

I turned 70 on May 5th this year. And i'm pretty sure we are all runnin against the wind now days. God bless all you old school rockers out there. PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.......

My mom married an Italian man who loved this song. I know nothing about this song but I feel the message. Rest In Peace Richard Taggart and I wish I could've hung out with you before you passed. Hopefully I can meet you again one day.

I’ll never forget my Dad asking me to burn this CD 💿 back in 2002. It took about 48 hours! We needed it from our road trip to Lake Havasu, AZ (where my Grandpa lived) from Santa Barbara,CA. He told me years later, that this is the song my Grandpa (his Dad) requested to hear as he was passing from Melanoma. 😔💔 Crazy how some emotions and moments in time just stay with you forever through a song.

In honor of Bob Seger’s 79th birthday, enjoy one of my Top Ten all time favs - “Against The Wind” ❤️Thanks, Bob for an incredible song for the ages. “Well I’m older now, and still running against the wind.” ❤️… Roger that, you and me both, Bob.

This song came out when I was 4 years old. My parents divorced before I was 3. I grew up loving Bob Seger my entire life but this song always gave me a different feeling... one of nostalgia and comfort and love. Sometimes it would even bring me to tears but I never knew why. I am 46 now and about 3 years ago I shared a lyrics graphic of the song on Facebook with a comment of how much I loved the song and that it felt like home . My step-mother commented on my post saying how much my Daddy loved it too, and would play it over and over and sing it to me and I would sing back as best I could at age 4. My Daddy was killed in car wreck 3 days after my 5th birthday. Because of my young age, the emotions of the song had stayed with me when the memories of why had not. Music is one of the best gifts life has and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

I am a woman but can relate to this very true and real song. Sometimes in life there are just to many battles we have to fight. Such a Awesome Song Absolutely Love It

I'm 73 now and I've always been running against the wind ! I'll still be running against the wind till the day i die !!

Dedicated to my late wife. You're husband is still here running against the wind..rip ❤

As I become an old man Mr. Seger's music touches more than it did when I was a young man. Simply beautiful and raw.

"The years rolled slowly past. I found myself alone. Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends. I found myself further and further from my home" I tear up every time i hear that and I've been hearing over 30 years. It's just beautiful poetry.

I've always been running against the wind. Ever since my parents died and I had to take care of my three brothers. It happened in a small town and we got good support, but so many sad nights. I cry so much. I listen to this song and it recalls my life. We grew up as good christians. Good morals. Honest. In the 70's. Now, I've lost two of those brothers. Didn't really know them, as I was too busy with my life. I feel ashamed for that. Selfish really. I have to deal with that. The lyrics of this song is as if had written the words according to my life. I'm 66 now. Lived through the wind, raised three kids and feel thankful for that as my life's accomplishment. So maybe they won't have to go through life against the wind.

"Deadlines and commitments. What to leave in, what to leave out." Bob Seger is the truth.

For me this is Seger's best ever song. That's really saying something. 1980: masterpiece 2023: masterpiece

The greatest line EVER. Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.

"And I found myself alone, surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends". Seger really does paint such a bleak yet human picture with his song writing. I think many of us can relate to this feeling so well.

My dad brought me here. All those long road trips… My dad passed in October to ALS 😭💔 I Miss you so much Dad.

"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then "... in a sad and depressing way, it is so accurate. Damn I love this song.

Man ole man where do I start 💔 my grandma loved this song . Grandpa passed in 2016 . Grandma used to say she was running against the wind always . “ I’m running against the wind John , not to much longer “ grandma passed in August of 2023 . I played this at her funeral. Now I believe grandma and grandpa are up in heaven dancing to this all night 💔💔 damn I miss yall man . This world is not fair

who is here in 2024 ?

If you are reading this, we had the best music growing up, great times

"Seems like yesterday..." This song is 42 years old and still touches my heart again and again.

I heard him say in an interview once that he always tried to write songs that would last, about the things that are timeless. That was in 1980-something. Listening to this song, he was a man of his word.

When a song brings tears to your eyes, you know its a good one.

This is such a great song. I miss the days when music was actually written by the artists themselves and had soul and meaning. I am only 40, but as one other person put it already. We think we're wiser, but we are just getting older.

Every lyric and chord is as beautiful and emotional as it was 42 years ago. We think we're wiser, but we're just older. Thank you for this song, Bob.

Bob Seger is the most under appreciated artist in the history of music. With a mix of blues, rock, and folk, his poetic lyrics should be heard worldwide by all ages. He is a true inspiration to anybody who listens to his music. He sparks nostalgia even in the youngest people. Thank you, Bob Seger for the best music possible.

This brings me to the last 43 years...love I thought would last forever, heartbreak, regrets, huge mistakes, success, failure, work, and beginning to reach middle age. Great song for me

I was born nearly 43 years ago and heard this song when I was 19 in my country Nigeria and 24 years later I am still listening to it in France where I now live every day. A master piece always. Thank you Mr Bob ❤

I am 84 yrs and still cant enough of this great artist,which I have listened as far back as I can remember ,and he still sounds over the top

This song affected everyone and still does. Bob said it all about life. I am 67 years old and still running like everyone else. Good Bless everyone!

In 79 I was 13. My dog was run over by a car and died. I cried all night long and this song was on the radio. I’ll always think of Nikki 🐶my Lhasa Apso when I hear this.

The history of my life!!!i!! Im 58 and still running against the wind

Bob is a gifted lyricist. This song delivers one of the most cute phrases: "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"

Bob Seger is a singer -song writer, a " genius ". Against the wind is absolute masterpiece. Peace and love brothers, and sisters 👍🤜🤛💪♥️🕊🙏🙌👐👏🤲.

Lost my father 2 days ago after finally meeting him in person earlier this year for the first time ever. I am 46. In the first letter he wrote me he mentioned a line from this song. I am struggling with his loss more than I imagined I would. I finally got around to listening to this since his letter and Bob’s poetry and the story he tells could have just as easily have been written about my father. I may be using parts of this song on his prayed card. Love and miss you dad 😞

I had the pleasure to see Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band in concert almost 30 years ago. One of the greatest performers I ever saw. No lightshow pyrotechnic flash, he didn't need it. His music was the show. So lucky to have seen him live. True one of a kind. Bob Seger will live on for generations to come. 👏👏

One of the most influential artists of my generation. I still love Bob Seger as much today as I did in the 70s. This is one of my favorite songs. His songs stand the test of time because we can relate the songs with life experiences. Rock on Bob!!

This song is literally the song of life! God bless Bob Seger!

I discovered this masterpiece some days ago. I'm almost 60 but I didn't know it at all. It's a shame ... Amazing lyrics, amazing music, the piano is spectacular. Glad that I heard it, now I can't help listening to it, I never have enough.

I’ll be 62 on August 8 2024 and still looking young bc I’ve been running against the wind for 42 long years, running on rainy days is awesome as well…🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

This song just takes me back over my life. It resonates so strongly with the times we all go through in our lives. I’m still running.

I grew up listening to this song on the radio. Never paid any attention to the lyrics as a kid except for the line “against the wind”. So this is actually the first time I’m listening to (or reading) the lyrics….and a massive freight train of emotions just steam rolled right into me.

Probably the best song ever written. A song about life, love, loss, growing up, growing old, moving on, staying strong and keeping determination ❤

I'm 73 years old and still love this song. I always will.

I was driving one day, and then this song came on the radio... I didn't know who Bob Seger was. I was like "oh this is nice..." Then the piano solo started playing... And so I had to STOP the car to carefully listen and admire this masterpiece. This was my first introduction to Bob Seger, and this is the first song I learned to play on an acoustic guitar. There's something magical about this song that makes you relax and contemplate life. What a masterpiece!

51 yrs ago since I came home from Vietnam. Now I'm 71 yrs old and still running against the wind.

The song is like my lifetime though it came out when I was 20 with my high school sweetheart. Now I am 63 and in my 3rd marriage, still applies to my life. Brilliant timeless song & lyrics.

❤ All I can say now is God Help Me no fight left in me. They have chipped away at me till nothing left. Guess need to Thank Them I gave you all a good fight. God's Hands Now

This song was released over 40 years ago, and it still sounds as good today as it ever has. A timeless classic.

I'm 71 but I still in a struggling situation 🤔 may God 🙏 give me the strength to keep on running against the wind 🌬️

This just never gets old... He just understands things so well. Whenever I have something hard to do and I just can't face it, I come and listen to this song ❤️

Thank you Bob Segar. I am 68 now and I first heard this sone way back in the 80's I was in my twenties and even now it still brings back memories. Love this son. Thanks a lot! Still running against the Wind.

I lost my best friend today and as I thought about him I could hear this song playing in my head 1980 we met hit it off and had a friendship for the next 42 years this album came out that that yr and I didn’t even realize until now however reminded me of him and our time as teenagers for a couple of summers that could never be relived “we were young and strong and running against the wind “ Darrell Garcia, Rest In Peace my good friend

A lifetime of regrets. This song brings tears to my eyes every time. Wish I could go back and do it all over the right way.

This is the theme song to my life. I’m 62 and I. Truly wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t kno then.😢

I just turned 48 TODAY. This song means MORE to ME than EVER before! 🍺😎👍

"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" ... WOW one of the simplest, yet heaviest lines in all of rock history. Also his singing of this line is ,while subtle, comes straight from his heart. This song feels to me like he's singing words he did not write, but, rather, words that have been sleeping in every aching heart that has ever been. All he did was be an instrument with pen, piano and voice, writing and singing what every heart from the entire history of humankind knows all too well.

Bob Seger is one of the best songwriters. Seger does not showcase technical guitar wizardry; just pure songwriting. Genius.

In life, there certain people who this song fits their life perfectly. I'm one of those people. I'm 56 and I have had a few "Janeys" in my lifetime. Good and bad memories and regrets with all of them. If there were rules to be bent... I definitely broke them. I still have those deadlines and commitments, still leaving things in and leaving things out. I'm still seeking shelter "Against the Wind."

😞 "wish I didn't now, what I didn't know then".... What a great line! Just Love this song! 😊 ❤❤❤❤

Never get tired of listening to this Song.Man the Words can be so True.If you're over 60yrs old how can You Not Love Bob Seger Songs.This Song tells the story of our Lives.

The song touches my soul. I am 79 now, and it brings back memories of my oldest son who died at age 52 of a heart attack. But his life was much like this song. He did his best to care for his family, but the turmoil of carying for his first family, and his second and third family, took its tole on him. He died at age 52. I look forward to seeing him again when I go home to be with our Lord. He was saved.

it is coming back like an epiphany--I am turning 40...this was the sone i listened to as a teen---now life has a different color...but i am still running against the wind

Thank for being you Bob Seger. 💚💚💚

My, I am 68 and can relate to every word; tears included!!!

This song is such a masterpiece not only because it is beautifully written and sounds amazing, but because it is a song everyone can relate to. We all have struggles, and those struggles make up the wind. We are all running against the wind in our own way.

This song reminds me of my grandfather. When i was 16 my grandpa took me to the Azores and this was my first time on a plane. He explained the flight was taking longer because we were Against the Wind. RIP Gramps. ❤

I was to marry in November 1980. It suddenly ended on 8/8/80 when he fell only 12 feet. I buried myself into friends and music. This Bob Seger's song said it all. The reflections of the past mingled with the realities of the present...it was playing on my stereo the night he died. Today I have deadlines to meet...what to leave in, what to leave out. It's a great life.

Listening to Bob Seger for many years and he is still AWESOME. I am in my 80"s

Every word hit home. From loosing my mother to my life in foster homes to returning of my mother to my emancipation just days before this beautiful song was shared. I'm older now 58 and still running. Thank you Bob forever in my heart 💓...

"Breaking all of the rules that would bend...I began to find myself searching, searching for shelter again and again." - I feel this in my very soul.

It took me years, literally, to find Bob Seger's CD. I found one at a truck stop going North of Rapid City. I still have it.

Bad times don't last forever, but great songs do.

This era of music had so much more depth of both feelings and music. The instrumentation is just outstanding; beautiful. Evokes emotion and remembrance for another time. Today’s music doesn’t even come close.

Still running against the wind 🥺 i found myself seeking shelter against the wind 🥺 July 2024

At nearly 70 years old, my interpretation of this masterpiece has deepened. Grabs you in the guts and clutches your heart. Definitely timeless. In regard to the slide guitar, well I can barely speak. Thank you gentlemen.

You have to been through some real struggles and suffered some blows! You find yourself feeling "why me" then later you are thankful for the strength to run, past, present and future! Incredible song!!

I think that people in general feel like life has kicked their butts, nothing has been easy and we're all pushing against the wind, just to overcome or survive life's experience's, but look closer and you can find the goodness's of your life we don't have to give up, I shed some tears myself from time to time, love bob sever, he's an amazing person, truly!💕 Such a sweetheart

Certain songs can adjust themselves to anyone’s life. Bob evokes so much emotion in people’s thoughts. Love this song.

What an emotional song, a reflection and comforting words for the human being.

20 yrs old living in Banff Alberta in 1980 it was the best time and the worst time of my life losing my father to cancer , a chill runs through me every time I hear this song .. what a masterpiece

The summer of 1981 Castle Farms Michigan, Against The Wind Tour 18 years old and loving life. 39 years later and this song still moves me.

I'm 59 and have already told my family I want this, "Roll Me Away" and Springsteens "Long Walk Home" played at my funeral.

It's so meaningful because we have lived and experienced it, and still do!

One of the best songs ever.I opened You Tube Oldies the other day and this song came up,I'm 74 years old and Bob brought me to NYC with that song.I became a fan of Rock in those days,specially a fan of Bob Seger.The song fits my profile,I'm still Running against the wind.

It's now emotional for me. I lost my mom to brain cancer. On time dad is traveling for work, she'd be downstairs, now it's now just me and the dogs in an empty house. This is tell me to keep moving.

This song is life. This song is EVERYTHING.

Whoever wrote the song doesn't need to translate the language, just feel what the soul feels when the song explores the heart. I'm brazilian and I love Bob Seger!

I think that this is one of the most underrated songs ever!!

Love this song...was married for 28 years...he died suddenly in 2013...he loved bob seger...this was his favorite song..his name was also Bob ❤️💔

I'am 61 years old, but still running against the wind.......

This song is what 42 43 yrs old and still has just as much meaning to me now as when it came out.

Great song! Outstanding lyrics! "Older now, still running against the wind", aren't we all. 64, retired and still running!

In my youth, it was a nice song in the background, as I was driving along. That's the difference between hearing it in my youth, and listening to it as an older man. Those drifter's days are certainly past me now. Kind regards.

One of the greatest songs ever written. Im 35 and ive been listening to Seger from my earliest memories. This is an absolute gem of a classic... Speaks to my soul man. Giving myself chills over here. Thanks Dad for introducing me to such great music when i was young...Its attached itself to my heart and soul forever.

A masterpiece that will live forever, ladies & gentlemen! 🖤🥃

Bob Seger is one of my favorite songwriters! I've never met Bob myself, but I've known people who've met him, and they always told me that, unlike most celebrities, he's a very down to earth person. This is another one of those songs that really resonate for me, as I miss the carefree days of my youth. Bob had a friendship with The Eagles, and Glenn Frey sings the backing vocals on here, Bob also overdubbed backing vocals. The lineup includes Seger on acoustic guitar, Drew Abbott on electric guitar, Chris Campbell on bass and David Teegarden on drums, along with session keyboardist, Paul Harris playing the gospel-style piano and organ figures.

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then ...So powerful. We are still running today . The fight is never over. Love this guy. 💜💜💜

I'm 56 years old,and I'm still running against the wind.but God is good all the time.

I'm 63 still feel like going against the wind
