This is one of my favorite Seger songs -- I just have to put down the urge to buy a Chevy Truck (BTW: Chevy used this song for years in their Silverado Truck commercials). The years do go by quickly. 20 years is nothing; the last 40 went by too quickly.
Been through two Silverado since the commercial came out 😀
Gm ran this song into the ground selling trucks.
@@marijolamb5459 GM almost ruined this song for me.
They should have used this song for Viagra commercials instead of GM.
@@alanjones4358 Hee hee
Trust me, as you age this song will hit different. The kids grown and states away, the love of your life buried for years, and you think back to when everything was the way it was supposed be. Eventually each year that passes takes something or someone from you and leaves you a little more empty each time.
Jeez, man. I’m so sorry! 😔
much empathy and understanding Thump, 😔 {gentle hugs}
So true brother. "When just standing is all you got left." Like a Rock.
Agreed.
Particularly Night Moves 😏
Your words are my feelings...
The older you get the more you will appreciate Bob Seger.
thats true for me
I am 70 years old and I know exactly what bob means when he says he sits and wonders where they've gone.
I'm 57 and I wonder where the near 40 years have gone. My journey with Bob began in the winter of 1980. My dad driving me through snowstorm to junior high basketball practice. "Fire Lake" came on WLS AM89 in Chicago. The fact that that is still what I attach to that song is a testament to his music. I felt every song either described what I was going through or, even in my crazy youth, I knew what his songs were gonna mean to me now. A smile and a tear simultaneously. Genius.
Cheers!
Lots of space in the production. That's where you'll find the heart of music. Btwn the notes
Whoever coind the phrase golden years,I would like to put my foot in his ass. There's nothing golden about getting old. It amazes me how short life really is
Two guitar solos alone still evoke a tear or two.
My husband of 20 years was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident at the age of 23. This song reminds me of how I know he feels about life when he was young. To me, he is even stronger than before the accident, and he is my rock now and always.
God bless y'all! May God bless y'all for the rest of y'all's lives!
What a Hell of a Lady/Woman/Wife you must be! Stand by your Lucky Man. God Be With Both of You. 😎❤️
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. My Dad fell down a flight of stairs 5 years ago and severed part of his spinal cord in his neck. He is a quadriplegic and can only turn his head a little and raise his shoulder on the right side a bit. It's crazy to me that not once has he ever complained or become angry about his state. I don't think I could handle it. He is truly inspiring. 💗
That’s is so awesome
Love has no bounds ❤️❤️❤️
What Seger is doing with his lines, describing his youth, is implying that by contrast, as an older man, he's no longer so strong, no longer arrow-straight. So it's melancholy. Life wears you down, and twenty or forty years just go by. "Where did they go?" There is a natural beauty to youth that is admirable, and it goes away.
Jimmy Buffett has a similar song that has the same theme, "A Pirate looks at Forty."
@@Rosedach I have played the Buffett song at least a couple of hundred times and I never get tired of its great lyrics….
“Yes, I am a Pirate.
Two hundred years too late.
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder, I'm an over-forty victim of fate.
Arriving too late.
Arriving too late.”
This is definitely one of my three favorite Bob Seger songs.
Yes, youth is wasted on children, isn't it?
About 40 is when I had a better understanding of this song and at 54 even better. 5 adult children later " where'd they go ?".
So well said, SG! 👏🏼
Chevy ran the commercial with Bob’s song for almost 20 years. Also, being a Detroiter, Bob donated a lot of money for autoworkers during the hard times. Bob Seger is revered throughout Michigan. People still talk about his concerts. ❤️
Fellow Detroiter here. I remember this song being synonymous with Chevy for so long.
Bob said he was sitting in a restaurant one evening, and during conversation, a fan who was an autoworker suggested he do something for the struggling autoworkers, like a commercial or something. Seger had always refused offers from companies to use his songs in ads, but as a former struggling autoworker himself, that really struck a chord. So he agreed to let GM use Like a Rock in their Chevy Silverado ads. They sold a heck of a lot of trucks with, which kept a heck of a lot of autoworkers employed.
During the time I lived in Ypsi for a couple of years during the mid-1970s, Seger used to come at least once or twice a summer and do a free concert at EMU. He hadn't hit it really big nationally yet, but he was on his way up like a rocket (or like a Silver Bullet), and of course he was absolutely beloved in Michigan.
It's very fitting that the road into Pine Knob is now named Bob Seger Drive, and I see there's also Bob Seger Boulevard in Allen Park, MI. He's definitely a revered Michigander. 💜
I read in a magazine, that Bob Seger made his label put his music out on 8 Track tape long after they had gone to cassette, because a lot of his fans still had 8 Track players and couldn't afford to buy a new player. So they could listen to his music longer.
This came out in the mid 80s. As a teenager, I couldn’t understand how a person could just “lose” 20 years. Now, I wonder what happened to the last 40. Seger is a legend.
I agree. Also how could Stevie Nicks in her early 20s have the foresight of life to write Landslide and how relevant the lyrics are to her and all of us really today. We grew up with these musical masterminds ❤
For me, 50 years. How the hell did _that_ happen?
Bob Seger is one of the greatest singer/songwriters in Rock history, with a great soulful voice.
Hits best songs:
"Fire Lake", " Still The Same", Against The Wind", Beautiful Loser", "Hollywood Nights", " Travelin' Man", "We've Got Tonight",and the album " Night Moves " is a landmark recording, without a bad track. Truly legendary artist.
For some reason I really like "Main Street".
Comin' Home
You'll accompany me....Shame on the moon.... Katmandu.... everything he dropped down. PURE MAGIC
My favorite that's so underrated is "Living Inside My Heart."
I agree ....but all of his B side music is amazing as well!!!!! ❤️
Seger doesn’t have a bad song. “Roll Me Away” is his best though.
I have it and "Against The Wind" on my main biker playlists. Here's one of them.
music.ruclips.net/p/PLlFrRPKzi7HjwhT65MUO9daRnVlMdkFWZ&feature=share
Love that song. A great story he tells.
there's an album cut on "The Distance" called "Coming Home" that really should have been released, very much the same mood as "Like a Rock"
I love so many of his songs, I can't bring myself to try to name his best. Roll me away is absolutely on the list though.
"20 years where'd they go?" As I sit here at 66 years old, it sure went by fast. My wife & I were just kids when we got married she was 17 & I was 19. Raised 2 kids who are now middle age with kids of their own. Now we're both retired and enjoying a life less hectic. As I look over at her now I realize how blessed I've been!
We played this at my DADS FUNERAL THIS YEAR ! Rip DADDY ! Miss you so much my heart is broken 😞 you were our ROCK
Definitely one of his greatest hits. Plus, it only gets more poignant the older you get. The lyrics take on deeper meaning. 😊
It is true, his lyrics age with us.
Amen
Damn, its been a while since I charged out of the gate. But there was a day when I skipped all the steps on my front porch...
When I was in my teens: Nice song
When I was in my 30s: I know people like that
Now in my 50s: Have I become that person?
Yes. The video adds to the meaning
To a certain generation, this song will be remembered for Chevy more than anything else. I’m actually surprised that rob and ms rob aren’t in that generation.
Amber tell me you didn’t like that guitar! “Like a Rock”reminds me that even though time has passed I’m still hard as a rock living my life!
Yep, growing up in the 90's, I thought it was just the Chevy truck theme, until I discovered classic rock in high school and came upon the whole song at some point.
I can't believe that they didn't recognize the song! Has it been that long since they've used the song in the Chevy commercials?!?!?!?
@@ginamarandino6451 it's been a hot minute, I remember Chevy commercials back when I was in HS, I graduated in 85. I actually thought the same at first, why don't they know the song??? But time flows differently when we hit a certain age, at least for me LOL
I think like 03 was the last of chevy commercials with that theme
A couple of things my grandmother told me:
1) Youth is wasted on the young.
2) Growing old is not for wimps.
I'm 61 now and can fully appreciate both of those sayings.
"And I stood arrow-straight, unencumbered by the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes. I stood proud and I stood tall, high above them all. I still believed in my dreams." An eight measure bridge which beautifully summarizes a great song, and some of the best lyrics in rock and roll.
That's the part of the song that always hits me the hardest.
Nice job guys. This song just damn near brings me to tears every time I hear it. I'm 72 yeas old, and I've been down some very rough, rocky trails and switch backs. I remember a time when my hands were steady, and I walked with a purpose with quick and firm steps. "Strong as I could be, nothing ever got to me." This song could have been written for a lot of us old farts. There is a time when we feel that we will be young forever. Be well. I really enjoy you both. Roger
You stay Strong Brother! I know you will! I'm only 66 but I feel the same as you! Stay Strong! 😎
At age 60, I feel a loss of physical ability compared to my youth. But I’m currently taking care of my 96 year old father as he goes through some health issues, and I’m his rock.
It does bring me to tears. Every time.
I feel this way at 54, hell. I get teary w this one too. I remember me on the ranch, 18, suntanned, strong as an ox with a purposeful walk as well. This hits HARD.
@@rickwelch8464 Sure does. I live in a "little shack out back" on my daughter and son in laws place. My oldest granddaughter had one of her horses tied at the trailer, getting ready to saddle up. I offered to help. I struggled to lift her Billy Cook roping saddle from the rack. I was embarrassed. She smiled and said "hey PaPa, I got'cha". Just like nothing had happened. That hurt.
Any man over 45 can personally identify with every lyric in this song. One of the best storytellers of all time.
Yes especially that "20 years... where they have gone..." brings me to tears every time!
Every woman too.
And women.
Hell Yes!!! We all wonder what happen to the last 30 yrs!!!! But we got to keep rolling on!!!!!
When Seger had his first hit I was 20 years old, getting ready to leave the Navy and begin my career. Today I have 4 adult children ranging in age from 48 to 28, 9 grandchildren ranging in age from 26 to 5, and 6 great grandchildren from 5 to 1. I seems like only yesterday that I was sailing on my first deployment over the Atlantic, amazed by the deep purple water with its lavender foam. 52 years have gone by in a day.
Ditto, joined in '75, got out in '86 when this song came out. Westpacs for me CVN-65/CV-63 but The Hawk Is My Ship. When I hear this song I flash back to when I got out. I was 28 not 18 but felt strong and ready after doing 11 yrs. That was 36 years ago and 47 since boot when we were like a rock, and I'm thinking a Navy rock, young, dumb, and full of .... I do miss Zumwalt's Navy.
Thank you for your service and sacrifices. 💙
@@davidgross990 My uncle was US Navy
Not really gloomy, but nostalgic. No regrets, just memories so bittersweet. When you’re older. Kids grown and gone. Retired. Thinking of all the experiences from your past- many great( they give the largest sigh) some sad. It’s easy to be melancholy sometimes. Whoever said “ youth is wasted on the young” was a genius! Savor every moment kids and squeeze out every drop you can.
SO true!
It was- George Bernard Shaw
I will always remember this song from the Chevy Truck commercials
I think their too young to remember those commercials
Yep, 1990
@@Eugenesnufflebean Naah, I think they’ve used the song in the past 5 years or so in commercials.
I’m a Ford guy, but even hearing this song now makes me consider buying a Chevy.
Per Songfacts Seger was 40 years old when this song was released, and there was a wisdom to his words that appealed to his audience. In a 1986 interview with Creem magazine, he said: "It's a matter of growing up. From the time I was 20 until I was 30, I didn't sell a whole lot of records, but I was doing a lot of rock 'n' roll. That's the way I felt at the time. Maybe during the period when I was 30 to 40, I was getting more mature, writing about older themes. I'm sure 'Like A Rock' doesn't mean much to someone who's 20, but I gotta write what I know about."
Talking about writing this song in a 1994 interview with Music Connection, Seger said, "There have been times where I've written a bunch of verses before I even know what the title is. That's what happened with 'Like A Rock.' I wrote the first three verses of that song before I even knew where I was going. Then, one day, I just fell into the 'like a rock' thing, and I thought it worked."
Funny story about this song. After Seger wrote it, he played it for Don Henley to see what he thought. Don's reaction was something to the effect of, "What the hell, Bob? You can't use a four-syllable word ("unencumbered") in a rock song!" 😂
I enjoyed this song at 17. Now in my 50s I appreciate it more. 30 years, where'd they go?
Bob was very popular in the 1970s ,, My Fav is OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL From 1978
Ditto to Some Day You Will Accompany Me and Fire Lake. I love all Bob Seger, but those are me favorites.
This song hits me in the feels every time I hear it. As a young fireman, along with so many fine men I worked with, I would charge hell with a teacup full of water. I worked some real bad areas fearlessly because that's where the action was. I helped fight brush fires all around the state. Had the crap scared out of me more than a couple times and lost wonderful friends. What I came away with was the feeling that I wish I could impart to all young people. Take advantage of your strong bodies and beautiful minds to live your best life, experience as much as you can, get out of your comfort zone and give something of yourself to others around you.
👍❣️😃❣️👍
One of the few singers who really makes you FEEL the story that's being sung.
"Shame On the Moon", "The Real Love", "Fire Lake", and "You'll Accompany Me", are awesome by Bob Seger
Very good picks!
Perfect recommendations!!!!
Oh man, I forgot about “Shame On The Moon!” Yes!
Shame On The Moon is a must!
J&A, you'll love his "Night Moves", "Hollywood Nights", "Katmandu", "Rock And Roll Never Forgets" and more!! (the last 3 are bangers!!!)
Definitely "Night Moves"!! 🥰
Also Fire Lake and The real Love, nobody talks about these but are also great
Katmandu and Turn the Page has to be the live versions. Love those 2 songs but don't care for either studio version.
Bob gave Chevrolet the use of this song when they were struggling. Chevy trucks featured it in there ads for years. Thank you Bob. Great story teller.
This song always hits me hard because it makes me think about my past. I'm just short of 60 and I have ALS. This makes me think about back when I was young and in great shape, I was an athlete , baseball , football and wrestling . I was in the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard, I was in incredible shape. And now with dealing with ALS for 17 years, my body is disgusting. I'm 95% paralyzed and can't even breathe for myself . This song makes me tear up.
❤
I hope you are still listening to great music and commenting. I am thinking of you. ❤️
Sending positive feelings...............very difficult to accept. Bless you.😥💔❤
The slide guitar work in this song is a master class.
I always remember the Guitar Solo for the Chevy Truck ads
That was Duane Bailey, an old highschool classmate.
Rick Vito.. Original Fleetwood Mac guitarist.. And again now Fleetwood Mac replacing Lindsey Buckingham.. Is the guitar genius in this song
Bob called that guitar solo the single best overdub he ever heard.
Duane Bailey plays the acoustic guitar on like a rock, not the slide guitar
This song always makes me think about watching NFL Football, as a boy
Chevy played this to promote their trucks EVERY SUNDAY of football season, back in the late 80's
For me it was college football. I would watch the games on Saturday and I heard this song on the commercials a lot. Great song!
This song actually has a hopeful, positive message, rather than gloomy. It's in the last verse, and especially the last line of the song. "And sometimes late at night, when I'm bathed in the firelight, the moon comes calling a ghostly white, and I recall... like a rock, standing arrow straight, like a rock charging from the gate... I see myself again, like a rock."
Amber, did you really not know this song was used in Chevy truck commercials for many years?? LOL, too funny when you said "why did a truck not use that?" 🤣You should check them out... they're awesome.
In a 1986 interview for the New York Times, Seger said that song was inspired partly by the end of an 11-year relationship: "You wonder where all that time went," and partly by "my feeling that the best years of your life are in your late teens... It's your last blast of fun before heading into the cruel world."
Banger time for Mr. Seger: "Feel Like a Number" "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" "Katmandu" (Live version) "Get Outta Denver" "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight" "Ramblin', Gamblin' Man" "Shakedown"--from Beverly Hills Cop II
Please, “Feel like a number”.
Who hasn’t been there.
I think this is your sixth Bob song, but there are SO MANY more to go! "Night Moves", "Rock and Roll Never Forgets", "Hollywood Nights", "Still the Same", "Fire Lake", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", and my personal fave, "Shame on the Moon". There's also "Shakedown", which is featured in the movie "Beverly Hills Cop II".
Shame on The Moon, Like a Rock and Turn the Page are my favorites. For something upbeat, my favorites are Shakedown, and Her Strut, but honestly everything he does is awesome !
The greatest rock and roll storyteller of all time. He doesn't have a bad song.
As an older man, this song is both beautiful and heartbreaking.
However, I am happy to say, when this song came out, I was the age he is singing about, and I already knew exactly what he's talking about. When you're 18, and you're a man, you feel like a rock.
My favourite Bob Seger song, 40 years, where did they go!!! Enjoy your youth while you can.
At 18 I was in Marine Corps Boot Camp, now at 54 I look back on a life full of different adventures and heartaches. This song ALWAYS makes me stop and think of what I've had AND what I've missed. The road has forked in several places and I've not always taken the right path. But such is life. Live and Learn.
Me also. USMC 83-95
Mom always said live, learn and die and forget it all.
Me, too brother. Turned 18 in the jungles of Southeast Asia and once wondered what my life would be like if I had taken the student deferment I was offered. Then I shake my head and say I wouldn’t trade my path for that one. Made me who I am.
My Mom played this for me after I was in a severe car accident that injured me badly and damn near killed me. She told me not to sing along, not to even watch the video, just to listen to the lyrics. It helped me keep moving forward through the hardest part of my life, and I love this song as a result. Thanks for playing it.🥲
Seger rarely (if ever) allows any commercial enterprise to use his songs, but - as a Detroit native - he did allow Chevrolet to use this song in their commercials when the company was struggling. "Like A Rock" became a tagline for the entire Chevy truck line. It's a powerful song, something that Seger does VERY well.
Growing up in SE MI in the 70's Bob Seger just intertwined in my life to a degree I cannot describe!
Ditto
Ive been here in Metro Detroit all my 53 years. Between him and Aretha Franklin, I can't think of anyone other that define this area more than them. I'm in Wyandotte now and people still talk of Seger playing here in June of 74 at a local festival. First time I saw him was 87 at the Joe. Hopefully he's got another tour left in him.
First saw Seger play at a small ice rink in Livonia MI. Cost 1.00 to get in. 1974
Rambling man was his only big hit! 🎶
I cry every time I hear this. All of the 'shoulda, woulda, couldas' that never happened.
Bob Seger never wrote a bad song. Just about anything by him is top tier. One of his best is "Roll Me Away". Check it out, you'll love it!
"Why didn't a truck use that for a commercial?" LOL! They did, Amber!
I love this song, too. It is poetic in its self-evaluation, self-acceptance, and positive reflections, even though he recognizes that he may no longer be "like a rock."
This song reminds me of all my buddies from the US Army. Serving as Infantrymen, 19-22 years old, serving overseas, living for every minute. Now closing in on AARP years.
It takes me all the waaaay back..."My hands were steady. My eyes were clear, and bright. My walk had purpose...my steps were quick, and light, and I held firmly to what I felt was right...like a rock". EVERY time I hear these lyrics, I picture myself 18 yrs. old again, walking over to my girlfriends house..."I was lean, and solid everywhere". I had that invincible feeling that youth brings. Ready for whatever the world had in store. Not realizing just how fast the time goes by. I look back now..."20 yrs., where'd they go? Twenty years...I don't know". I feel EVERY line in this song...EVERY time I hear it.
72 years old here and boy does this song hit home. Always have lived Bob!
"twenty years now. where'd they go, 20 years I don't know.....I sit and I wonder sometimes, where they gone"....you youngins will understand the phrase soon enough!
Everyone loves Bob's voice (many have called his voice the best male rock voice). But for me, what makes him so great is his ability to always tell a clear story, while writing such diverse music...fast, slow, it's all great.
Seger’s songs are heavily personal and introspective. That makes them much more meaningful imo. Thanks for this one.
Love this song, it hits harder when you're a Marine turning 50..
I'm a combat veteran. I was 21 when we went to war. I was 18 when I graduated from basic training. Now, dealing with the aftermath, all these years later, this song perfectly describes my feelings thinking back on my youth. Hold each other tight. Love your channel, every day.
Bob Seger's songlist is vast, and every single one of them are so good, and tell amazing stories! "Feel Like A Number", "Mainstreet", "Fire Lake", "Roll Me Away", "The Famous Final Scene", "Mary Lou", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "The Fire Inside", and even Bob Seger's occasional cover songs, like his renditions of Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell", Tom Waits' "New Coat of Paint", and Fats Domino's "Blue Monday" have Seger's own layer of gritty soul on them.
Love all of Bob Seger's songs❤❤ You'll accompany me, my favorite love song.
No other song can compare. This will make you sit down and contemplate your life. Your regrets, accomplishments and failures, where you been, who you’ve known, what you should’ve done and things you shouldn’t have done. One of the few songs I can put a tear in my eye.
Amen 💯
The one and only time i saw Bob Seger was in the late 70's in Corpus Christi. The lights went down. A single spotlight came on pointing up at the top of the coliseum where a man with a saxaphone was standing on top of a massive set of speakers. Alto Reed (Thomas Neal Cartmell, May 16, 1948 - December 30, 2020) started the show with the unforgettable "Turn the Page".
Spot on Jay, your take on this song. The train moving is his life moving through the years. Makes me reminisce every time I hear it. It means more the older you get too. “Night moves” to me is his best, and “You’ll accompany me” is a great one also. All his songs are great, can’t go wrong….keep doing Bob!!!
ain't it funny how the night moves, when you just don't seem to have as much to lose, strange how the night moves. . . 👍😃❣️😃👍
This is my sobriety song !!!!!25 years now ❤
Congrats!!!❤
The hookline in THIS song is "I SEE MYSELF AGAIN!" (Lost and regained confidence in self) Respect
He discussed his career. And when the song came out it had been 20 years. Now it's almost 50 years of career for him
More great Seger works: 'Hollywood Nights,' 'Feel Like a Number,' 'Roll Me Away,' 'Beautiful Loser,' 'Katmandu'.... so many great songs from this under-appreciated songwriter.
Boy, I have always liked this song and all of his music. But hearing this song today after not hearing it for a while, it really hit home. I am 67 now and second guess everything I do. My body is weaker and failing. My mind is doing the same but not as fast. I look back on my 20's and 30's and being strong for my wife and my two daughters. They are grown and living solid lives. I find myself seeing my past in their present lives. I long for those days of my past but they are gone. I am now just trying to look forward to watching my grand kids and how they go through their lives. Growing, learning, falling down and getting back up stronger.
The song has more emotion every time I hear it. Thank you for listening to it. Live the times you are in. It is gone far too quickly.
👍😃❣️😃👍
Back when they made good songs. You can actually hear the words to a song, this is a masterpiece. He had many more great songs
One of the greatest Bob Seger songs, of not the greatest. Every older man can relate to this song.
Seger puts on a great concert! He has world class backups at every instrument, but it is his story telling and, of course, that voice that makes him so great. With all the other things that he brought to it, the best thing about his concert was that every song he sang was a world class song! One hit after another made for a fantastic experience! We went just before COVID hit and feel lucky to have seen the great Bob Seger!!!
Well… here’s my all time favourite Bob Seger song… at 67 and living with disabilities/ multiple health issues it is such a deeply poignant song that is sung with so much knowledge and power it just brings me to tears now.. every time!❣We we’re so damn lucky to have had so many amazing gifts by way of talented musicians like Bob Seger!!
This is my song I am 61 yrs old now I was a beast at 25. Where did those yrs go? I remember the man I was, like a rock !
His words touch your soul. He's taking a mature look back at his life and that in tough times he stood like a rock for his beliefs. I'm 75 and this song makes me look back. Those times I stood tall and didn't bend. Sometimes it cost me money, friends or a job but I could always look at myself in the mirror and be proud !
I wasn't joking when I said do all the Bob Seger you want. There's a treasure trove of incredible songs just waiting to be discovered. ❤️ Shame on the Moon is a great one! Traveling Man and Beautiful Loser are those songs you need when you're driving down the highway late at night, all alone and need a perfect song to accompany you.
This song came out when I was in my early 30s and I loved it.💯 I'm 70 now and I get a little sad when I hear it. It hits different now.😢 But I still smile through the tears remembering when I was "like a rock".🤗 "I was something to see."😊 Great song, great artist, great video, great reaction y'all!😁❤️✌️
I don’t have a favorite Seger song because I’m a big fan. This song came out after I had at least a top ten for Bob. It immediately became too 5 for me at that time. Nostalgia at its finest. Takes me through and through again.
Bob Seger songs stand the test of time. Lyrical masterpieces and performed flawlessly! What a great songwriter/performer!
Still gotta check out "Her Strut" and "Roll Me Away". Again, an epic story teller. Keep digging here as well. Bob is awesome. "Night Moves" is awesome, as is "Fire Lake", "Still the Same" no arguments with the suggestions below.
It's clear to me how much the two of you enjoyed this.
This is a song I hope you two re-visit.. say 15 or 20 years from now.. and see how much your appreciation of songs like this has grown. I hope you'll still be 'making somebody smile'.
Love your channels and reactions!
I saw his Against the Wind concert at the Myriad convention center in OKC in the 80s. I was blown away.
20 years....? I'm looking back at 50..... Love Seger!
Bob Seger is such a story teller. Iconic.
Seger writes and sings about what he knows...and does both extremely well. You would be hard pressed to pick a Seger song that is not good. 😉♥
Enjoy this time with your family. Once they are grown, you will also be asking "Where they gone?" As a 58 year old, I can tell you this is more nostalgic and dark as Amber said..but Bob has the unique ability to get a smile with that tear. That is his genius.
No wonder almost 300,000 subscribers…you two are the best. At 68, I got to be able to live through the late 60’s till now music,and I appreciate younger people like yourselves respecting it and keeping it alive for others.
Beautiful song. His voice is so soulful. I can’t help but think of the Chevy commercials growing up when I hear the chorus
This song always makes me think of my dad who died too young at 52. Always gets me in the feels.
It almost doesn’t get better than Bob!!
He is the “Rockers Rocker”!
Class Act rocker!!
Bob says the man who played the slide guitar solos layed them both down in one take.
Two of the most brilliant slide solos ever👍✌️
You’re still a young man Jay. When you’re in your 50’s like me this song has a special meaning. Savor each moment of your life. With family, friends and your work because when you get to that place in life when you can look back how good your memories are will depend on how well you live now. Great reaction guys.
Excellent advice.
If you want a slower song by him try Shame on the Moon you'll love it. This song was in a Chevy commercial in the 80's or 90's, and I wouldn't change the channel because even if it was just a bit of this song I had to stop and listen beautiful.
IKR 👍😃❣️😃👍
Why is every Bob Seger song good? How is that possible? Such a golden voice
A fall out of your chair Bob Seger song is,Sunspot Baby,cranked up and tease someone that had it happen.
Seger Rules.
Night Moves - Bob Seger
I am at an age (70+) where I can't remember what I did last week but with the songs that I have lived with for the past 6 decades back, I can relive my life with the memories that they bring. Never underestimate the power of song. Long live RSR and the memories you will have by experiencing the variety that you play and listen to.
One of Bob’s best… all his coming of age songs are powerful.
One of the greatest musical storytellers of all-time. Some more classics you should check out:
Night Moves - About getting your freak on as a teen lol
Roll Me Away - About the freedom of youth
Against the Wind - About fighting life's struggles
Tombstone. Great movie. I love everything Bob sang. I loved Amber way of introducing us to Bob Seger
You know you’re old when you hear this song and think Chevrolet and their early 1990s Truck tv commercials.😂
Real talk tho, this song so is deep. A true lyrical masterpiece. It hits home for so so many people. Thank you for this one Bob Seger 🙇♂️
Songs like this is why Bob Seger is in the song writers hall of fame!
I have seen him live in 1980 in front of over 70,000 fans in an outdoor show in Louisville, Kentucky and in 1986 and 2017. What a great live performer. You haven't even scratched the surface of the music he put out there, but I'm sure you will. You both are so awesome.
Bob is one of the great folk song writers of our lifetime! Amazing music.
One of the most gorgeous guitar solos ever, one of the best rock songs ever!
I couldn't help smiling at 8:20 when you asked "Why did a truck not use that for a commercial?" Oh, here's a blast from the past. Chevrolet used "Like a Rock" as their theme and slogan for their trucks for FOURTEEN YEARS. Is it any wonder? The song is amazing.
I love the feedback y'all get. Great and sad stories, just like life. To me, I remember listening to this as a teen. I knew I'd age and it just didn't matter. I had things to stand for and "nothing ever got to me" (which is a lie, but it felt good at the time). Now I'm over 50 and this song means something different to me. No, I cant stand arrow straight - I'm a little bent but I still stand. I'm a rock in a stream. I can stand firm, but that washes away the edges. I am not as rough as I once was, but that doesn't diminish who I am. The stream (life) still moves around me and is affected by me. I love my initial celebration of youth, but aging isn't bad, either. This is a song about how to take life. We each get to choose. Stand up.
