Especially when earlier in the song he talked about "sweet summertime". I'm 57 now, but man oh man did I love the sweet summertime! Autumn is indeed closin' in, but it is still sweet to experience those Indian summer days occasionally.
I'm 61 years old and it was just about 8 years ago that it hit me like a hammer what this song is really about. The stages of life. As you get older you hear the thunder and how far off you wonder. You are wondering when the end will come.
James, I'm 71 and you just enlightened me. Sometimes we just love singing along, not analyzing it until we get older and take a NEW listen w/these Reactors. Thanks✌🏼
I'll take a Bob Seger song any time... incredible story teller with a groove. Bob always takes you way back to your youth in a wistful kind of way but the memories make you feel good. Lots of great songs, personal favourites include "Main Street" and "Like A Rock".
Seger was an Ann Arbor kid. I grew up in mid Michigan in the same era. Drive in’s, fall colors, winter closing in - his songs evoke many memories in a very good way. Want an upbeat hard driving rock tune? His first hit Rambling, Gambling Man or Kathmandu - they fit the bill. Want a rock ballad? Turn the Page. He has way too many pop classics to choose just one!
Super underrated cut from Seger, and a terrific classic from Tina Turner. How many rock legends try anything by Tina Turner? Bob Seger does and does it well, that’s who!
Bob Seger charted 31 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. I was fortunate enough to see him during his farewell tour a few years ago and it was one of the best live shows I have ever been to. Loved the way he paid homage to all of the greats who have come and gone by displaying pictures of them on the stage backdrop. This man knows how to write a song that connects to your heart. He played hit after hit after hit, nobody ever sat down during his entire show. At one point I counted 11 musicians on stage. Just a phenominal evening for the memory banks. Enjoyed your reaction, TY.
That’s my vote for personal favorites from Bob.. it’s got the funky groove that grabbed everyone’s attention at the party. One of the few tunes that I like way better than the original, though it’s a expertly crafted song from it’s inception.
This guy named Bob Seger is a MONSTER songwriter and singer! 31 Top 100 and 7 Top 10 songs is an amazing accomplishment for a guy that looked like a Woodstock hippie but sounded like a freight train with a little gravel over honey. We all love great lyrics, grooving tunes and top notch production value. That’s BOB SEGER . Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 with fellow Detroit native Kid Rock giving a great induction speech ❤
I saw Bob several times over the years - always a killer show. When they hit the slow spot in this song all the lights would go out, with just a couple of tight spots on the slowly revolving mirror ball above - the audience adrift in a field of stars - everyone quiet until the song kicked back in - and BAM! what a release. The song Hollywood Nights is a kick-ass piece of R&R.
“Come To Poppa,” "Get Out Of Denver," "Her Strut," and "Katmandu" are all great songs. He does a killer version of "Nutbust City Limits," too. Great choice to start with, guys. As always, peace and respect to you both.
Bob has one of the most iconic emotional voices and biggest hits over the past 40 something years! Try reacting to Main Street, Old Time Rock and Roll, from The movieRisky Business,Against The Wind, Like a Rock, We’ve Got Tonight,Rock and Roll Never Forgets,and Turn The Page, just to name a few! Bob is a legend among legends!
This man's a definite hitmaker. One of my favorites. There are so many awesome songs of his. Can't wait for y'all to hear more . You will love Come to Poppa and Her Strut.
Another great record and reaction--you and your fans continue to delight. In case you haven't noticed, I love pondering and interpreting lyrics. Here, I notice how before the break, Seger sings: "Oh, the wonder. Felt the lightning, and waited on the thunder" Then the music turns contemplative, and Seger sings: "I woke last night to the sound of thunder. How far off I sat and wondered"' Is that the thunder he was waiting for, a reminder that those days have passed him by, or both? Thanks all, for so much delight. Peace.
I’m 65, the internet really changed how easy it is access to info about anything. I’m still learning about favorite artists and the song meanings. It’s a good time to be alive. ❤️
Oh my hometown boy every year in Michigan he was a must see, and I was shocked that the country took awhile to catch up ,beautiful loser,and like a rock, heavy music all of or great
"With Autumn closin' in..." F*ck. Me. That's even deeper than it looks on the page or sounds to the ear. Bob Seger is one of the greatest rock voices of the American Experience, and absolutely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as his fellow poets Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Melloncamp, John Fogerty and Bob Dylan.
getting a piece was the first part of the song, when the song slows down he is years and years older and is reflecting on his youth but now is facing old age and death thus the lyrics "with autumn closing in" this song is deep.
Great tune from a Detroit Son. My house is on the side of a hill looking over the valley I own in Up-State N.Y. near Cooperstown. SO... I have two JBL 12 inch speakers mounted outside facing the valley. Sometimes I turn them on. There is only one neighbor 1/4 mile away, occasionally he'll call and tell me he liked the tune I was playing. this is one of those tunes he likes as much as everyone else.
'Like a Rock'.......I associated it for so long with the truck commercial, that I sort of got tired of it. But now.....I love his official video. It's GREAT. You need to check out the video.
Great reaction!Go deeper down that rabbit hole. Back to the Herd , Bob Seger System and of course the Silver Bullet Band. You will not be disappointed.
The first serious band that I played rhythm guitar for was “Starlight Arrival “ and I got to take center stage for one song. I played and sang this song so it’s really a special tune for me. I didn’t quite sound like Seger but had a blast performing it!
Great Reaction guys 😊 "Like a rock" is another great Bob Seger song, we used to here the beginning of it on Chevrolet commercials, during the football season. ❤😊
@@davidbooth7778 very true. I’m sure each of us have their favorites. For me, it’s Bob Seger; his songs just hit home for me. That’s why this music is so great, there’s something for everyone.
This reminds of my best boys Sean and Jeff back in 1984, smoking cigs and listening to Bob in the garage. We eventually got to see Bob in person and it was glorious.
NO ONE can express the loss of youth, vitality, innocence and freedom from obligation like Bob Seger. Throw "Like a Rock" and "Roll Me Away" in with "Night Moves" and you have the Holy Trinity of Melancholy Rock.
Great to see a new generation appreciate the legendary Bob Seger, the the Capital execs heard night moves for the first time they said " This is a career making song"
It was a little odd, being in High School, listening to a song that was reminiscing about being young and wild. It was a huge hit. Bob has some great rockers, but his ballads will break your heart. Very insightful emotionally.
Some songs are UNIVERSAL…… this is one of those songs. It does not matter what gender or race you are, everyone can relate to this song. Young summer “love” pure nostalgia Check out “Come to Papa” it’s a cover but Bob does it justice. Another naughty one
This song brings back memories for me. In particular when this came out, I was 18 and living in Nebraska and at the time the drinking age was 19, so buddy and I hooked up with a couple of chicks and drove down to Kansas (In a Chevy van) where the drinking age was 18. On the way there we were playing this album. This song so worked perfectly.😎🎸👌
It was my second concert. Bob Seger is the soundtrack to my young adulthood. It was a gift my Father shared with me. His love for Bob Seger, my love for Bob Seger is forever forged into my memory. Tears are falling from my eyes as I type. This is for You Pop. You left this world in 2008 and I still miss You every day. Thanks Pop.....
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man is the one to do. Vintage Bob Seger. Dirty Detroit mixture of rock and soul. While you're back there you could check out some Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Explosive and funky.
