"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then". That line gets to me.
absolutely a brilliant line and might be the best line in a song ever
Bob Seger almost took that line out because he thought it wasn't grammatically correct, Bob Seger explains - "The only thing that bothered me about that phrase was the grammar. It sounded grammatically funny to me. I kept asking myself, 'Is that correct grammar?' I liked the line, and everybody I played it for - like Glenn and Don (Henley) - were saying, 'That's the best line in the song,' but I couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't right. But I slowly came around."
Hindsight is 20/20, I think that everyone would like to know things beforehand
Might be my favorite music line ever. Chills every time.
Same here.
This song gets deeper and hits harder as you get older. So much emotion, with a tinge of regret. You live, you learn.
Oh so true as I was in my early twenties when I first heard this tune and now at 62 a lot of life has been lived!
@@joelliebler5690 that's the deal. You feel like you have all this time, but really you don't. Goddammit, now I'm depressed...✌️j/k it is what it is
This one and Night Moves hit me hard now. 62 years old now and it’s heart wrenching.
There has never been anyone like Bob...I`ve been following him since he first started in the business...Anything he has ever done is gold to me....This song is an all-time classic.
So much to learn about Detroit Grit 🍷✌️
Bob Seger is the real deal. He deserves the acclaim, the awards and the media hype that was given to Springsteen for some unknown reason. He is what the so called Boss could never be- a true everyday man singing our lives. Not some fake wanna be so call working class hero.
So many absolute classic tracks!
@@markwilliams5606 Yes.
@@michaell31 That`s the truth for sure.
I liked this song when it came out, but I understand it (and feel it) so much more now that I'm older. Seger is a master at the reminiscing type songs!
Same here. Seger often hits different when you get older for most people. Even if you get the gist when your young, you feel it on a whole other level years later.
I've listened to this song for decades and it still gives me chills every time.
Bob tells the story and just brings you into it.The musical production in "Against The Wind "is so great.The placement of the organ and piano ,Perfect.
Overall, the meaning of this song is about getting older. It’s about pushing on in life and maturing through love, exploration, heartbreak, and betrayal. The title and the repeated phrase “against the wind,” in particular, signal the passing of time. The phrase itself was something that Seger picked up from his days of running track and cross country in high school when he would literally “run against the wind.” Each mile running against the wind, each mile fighting an external force, took Seger farther and farther in his journey.
“Against The Wind” isn’t just a song about getting older. It’s about learning to realize what is important in your life, especially when it comes to the people in your life. In a 1980 interview with Rolling Stone, Seger explained how he came to this realization thanks to his then-girlfriend Janey Dinsdale
“Jan[ey] says to me all the time, ‘You allow more people to walk on you than anybody I’ve ever known.’ And I always say it’s human nature that people are gonna love you sometimes and they’re gonna use you sometimes,” Seger said. “Knowing the difference between when people are using you and when people truly care about you, that’s what ‘Against the Wind’ is all about. The people in that song have weathered the storm, and it’s made them much better that they’ve been able to do it and maintain whatever relationship. To get through is a real victory.
well said Mark
100%👍
Yep. I’ve often said I wish he would have written one more verse so I would know how this all ends. But I guess he doesn’t know yet either. One of the most authentic songs ever written.
A similar song is "A Pirate Looks at Forty" by Jimmy Buffett.
Can't say it any better, Metal Mark. It's about living life without getting buffaloed. Like a lot of Bob Seger songs are. Even though I LOATHE Like A Rock, it's got undeniably great lyrics. Like a lot of Bob Seger songs do. Nevertheless, I still connect with RAMBLIN GAMBLIN MAN more than any of his other hits. I should probably oughta see somebody about my mental state. :)
Bob Seger reminds me of my mom, he was her ultimate favorite singer! She now suffers from Alzheimer's, it's getting to her more and more, but she can still sing this song word for word! Music has so much power!
Nostalgia
In Greek, nostalgia means literally, the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. And it takes us to a place where we ache to go again.
Yes it does!!! This was one of my dad's favorite songs. He played it on 8 track when I was very little over and over. To me, this song is my childhood when things were good ❤️ I'm 48
Don Draper...is this you
I just love Bob Segar!! One of my all time favorites !!!!!
SEGER NOT SEGAR!
It's Seger!
Lyrics are so good and I always thought that this was his best, remember hearing this at home Mom played piano and she loved the piano in this song, classic track.
"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" is one of my favorite lines from any song. Bob Seger is a great storyteller. Love your channel!
This one and "Night Moves" are my all time favorites from Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Maybe it's that piano that chills me every time.
I'm 65 yo and knew this song head to toe. I've always ended running against the wind, beat breast cancer twice, once in my 30's and again 4 years later, but by God's Grace and His sense of humor, I'm here, still running against the Wind. I, too, find myself alone. My husband quit touching me in 2004, which left me with much larger emotional scars than anything the CA did to my body. So I lost everything and am so messed up from that portion of my strongest run against the Wind, along with people I thought were my friends.... I just exist now, lonely, tired, and the wind in my hair, awaiting the day I can run with the wind. Looking back is an emotional train wreck, so I put it all in God's Hands. ❤❤
Reading what you're going through was tough to read. I cannot imagine how I'd feel if my wife quit touching me. You saying that has left with you much larger emotional scars than cancer speaks volumes! I lost my mom and sister to cancer so I know how much scars cancer leaves a person emotionally. You mentioned you put it all in God's hands and that's the best place to put it. I know God has a plan for each and every one of us. I think the plan he laid out for me, (My life to this point) though rough, full of lies and deceit ended up turning my life around and getting back to him. My mom died of Cancer when I was 15 years old. Shortly after I got baptized and gave my life to our Lord. That lasted only a few years and I fell into living for the world. Fast forward to 2022 at 43 years old, God blessed me with a child and through the love of my child and my wonderful wife, I found the Lord again. I think that was the plan he had for me so that when I leave this Earth, when and however that may be, I'll see my mom and sister again in Heaven because they both had the Lord in their lives and now I do. Lean on the Lord and whether your plan works out on Earth or your plan is for Heaven, know HE has one for you and he loves you so very much.
Father, please hear this woman's voice and help her thorough this very difficult time in her life as you did when she went through cancer twice. Lord you put your healing hands on her for her physical health and now Lord she needs your hands on her for this emotional stress she is facing now. Lord help her to stay strong in her faith to you so that one day, she may join you in Heaven where she will be a perfect being with no pain and suffering and loved by the only one that truly matters and that's you. Thank you Father for all you do. Amen
Bob Seger is amazing. He isn't just a musician, he's a storyteller.
His music is beautiful when you are young but gut punching as you get older. If you listen to this 10yrs from now it's going to be hitting harder.
Yes, the "wind" in this song is life itself. That's how I've always heard this song. My love for the tune knows no bounds.
Seger ran track in high school! That's where he DERIVED Against the Wind!
Life...for all of us. First he's 'young and strong', and he doesn't care. Then, we age...but the wind doesn't, and it wears us down. And out. A little shelter starts sounding pretty good. Yeah, BJ, "the resistance of life" . And, BTW, I think he did a beautiful and heartfelt job creating and singing the song. I hope you guys agree, although you didn't say anything about that part.
This man is a treasure his songs are timeless and universal.
BJ my man you were really feeling this one
Silver Bullet Band returns to back the masterpiece title track, the song is musically highlighted by the piano of guest Paul Harris. This masterful composition with a dedicated coda features lyrics which compare Seger’s high school days as a long distance runner with the rat race and duplicity of the music industry.
The song is just a nostalgic look at one's life in retrospect. No matter what you've done and how much you've accomplished or where you've gone, there still always something there trying to push you back.
I've long loved Bob as a lyricist. I think the line "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" just reaches out and grabs people. Also I love how the phrase "Against the Wind" starts as a description of rebellion but by the last verse it is about conformity. Brilliant writing.
I like Segers twist on the old saying ( I wish I knew then what I know now) Genius!
Can’t go wrong with Bob Seger!!! Should listen to more of his songs!! Great story teller!!
Asia hit it right. Bob is Fantastic!! “Hollywood Nights” “ Feel Like a Number” “ Nutbush City Limits” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” are just a few of Seger’s huge hit list
The piano is amazing 🤩
A wonderful album from Bob Seger, recorded, IIRC, in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with "the Swampers." A very popular recording back 42 years ago. Man, I _am_ getting old. 😯
Was it 42 years ago? Huh. Seems like yesterday.
@@johndoe-gt6gp But it was long ago.
I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then. Best line ever.
I first heard this song as a child of about 10 and while I loved the song, the meaning never reached me until my 30’s and now at 56 and heading into my final 3rd of life, it hits HARD. Seger has an uncanny ability to make folks feel that his songs and life experience applies directly to you. It doesn’t take long to name all the artists who have that ability because there ain’t many.
A big thumbs up for picking this classic Bob song.Love his voice...so easy to recognize it.
What an amazing songwriter!!
Wife here..WOW...Honestly heard this song this morning and realized how much I loved it then and now!!..."Further and further from my home"..Amazing line BJ!!..As always love the In depth..,Intelligent insight you both are always so 👍GREAT at!!
It’s nice having your buddies The Eagles doing background vocals
Fire lake 🔥
I was hoping to see someone comment on the Eagles doing background vocals there at the end! I wondered if they noticed that.
@@loriedwards4953 Yes! Eagles back ground vocals on Fire Lake is unmistakable. Such a great song. I had this album and nearly wore it out playing it over and over every day.
@@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator Absolutely , I've been a true fan since Night Moves was released, I've bought everything since then many times! He's the best word man that ever put pen to paper.🐻💜
Love me some Bob Seger. he has do many great songs.I bought his cds to replace my cassettes my kids took them on well they have good taste.
Another great song from one of our most cherished artists-Bob Seger.
I've had the privilege of seeing him live "7" times...... And the Silver Bullet Band. What great memories of a great decade=1970's. His artistry bled into the 1980's. If ever the opportunity arises again, waste no time to go see him......
Bob Seger has so many great hits. He is definitely one of my favorites. You can never go wrong with him.
One of my favorite songs of his. Takes me back reminiscing every time
Amen to that
Against The Wind is probably my favourite Bob Seger song. Surprised no one ever mentions Somewhere Tonight. Slower/deeper but another great song. His entire songbook is worth a listen.
Great reaction. The tune is so mellow and perfect to blend with the message of the song. Have always loved this one.
Doing life but doing it the hard way! Great reaction! Much love to youse guys.
Exactly!
This song has a long long shelf life
I was 12 when Bob Seger came large onto the music scene and grew up listening to him, especially as a midwestern kid. His lyrics are a soundtrack to my life.
Same
DAVE.
I think Asia hit it on the head with her reaction/commentary on this great great song 🤙🏽
My all time fav by them!!! LOVEEEEEE BOB S.
In tears. First, Cool Change (Little River Band). Now, Against the Wind. My beloved Brother’s two favorite songs. Played at his Service.
Bob Seger is simply one of the greatest
Ugh this song is so deep 😩 so powerful....his voice gives me goosebumps
This song is about when you are young and strong, you have the endurance to fight the wind and don’t let it bother you too much. But as you start getting older, the wind gets a little tougher and it’s hard to get through things and you have to find shelter a safe place to go to get through your every day life. And even as you get older and older, you’re still fighting in the wind and you’re always looking for a way to get your next step in. But again, as you get older, each step gets harder and harder because that’s what life is all about.
Well said man
Bob Seger is EASILY one of the finest storytellers of all time. His material ages like fine scotch...time only makes it better.
Bob Seger has a huge catalog of great hits. You should do a reaction to Roll Me Away, Hollywood Nights, Like A Rock, etc etc etc. Great songwriter, great musicians and Bob is a fantastic storyteller. You won’t be sorry if you delve into Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Thanks for your reactions.
Maybe his most iconic song. A great message that is easy to understand and embrace.
Bob’s Live Album is excellent!!
Live Bullet, or Nine Tonight?
Thanks for reacting to this song. One of my favorites. I saw Bob Seger in concert several times in the 70s and early 80s. He's as good live as he is recorded. That voice! Turn the Page and Rambling Man on the live album gives me some serious feels.
Life is tougher than we expected when we were young... And it never really gets easy. We're always pushing against a world that seems to always push back.
God D--N what a great song!!
Bob Seger is the best! Love his music and the story he tells while singing:)
What I find most unique to Bob's songs is everyone can relate to them, no matter where you come from. He's an American treasure.
Eagles sang backup vocals on this song.
Yep, life’s struggles. Asia’s on it.
When you’re young, against the wind could be running with the wrong crowd, getting into trouble, etc.. As you get older, it could be just trying to get by to make ends meet, taking one step forward and two steps back, kinda thing.
Love y’all’s channel! Love the lyrical analysis!
I don’t matter if you’re right or wrong, it’s just the listener’s interpretation of the song. That’s what makes it fun.
Much love to both of y’all
Sometimes, it's trying to do the right thing, and trusting the wrong person, or institution, or societal norm. And you keep trying to get it right, but you keep getting beaten down.
The whole album is great!... Of course it's Bob Seger so how could you go wrong?...
I had this album and nearly wore it out playing it over and over every day.
Bob Seger is a legend. His voice, songwriting, composing, performing are all top notch. Keep it up guys. Love watching and listening to you!! BJ really got into this one. 👍🏻👍🏻
Somebody recommended Jackson Brown, Running on Empty - you must do that one. I have played it literally 100 and 100's of times..
You NEVER go wrong with BOB SEGER. Love this song!!!! Great lyrics, always puts you in a place.....to me, this is one of his deepest, most thought provoking songs
seger is my all time favorite and you guys are the only ones to ever react to what I think is his best song ever, "in your time". You guys can feel seger more than most. Most people here like a rock and turn the page.....pfft that's not a real feel for seger.
What I love about music, is that we can interpret it base on our own worldview, which makes it mean something different to each person. So long as the singer/writer/band has not disclosed the meaning that is. lol
What an AMAZING AMAZING TALENT! One of my all time FAVORITES! 🙏🙏💯💯👌👌💣💣💥💥
Look at her face as bob sings that chorus!! "Against the wind"!! She's lost in thought, deep thought!! It really hits home and speaks her very soul!!😢
I love a lot of Bob's music, but this has to be my favorite! It just hit home for me.
What a storyteller this man is. He can bounce between the old and young soul with the best of them…And the way he constructs a bounce to his songs!!! I love this artist. ❤
Songwriter,storyteller…love this guy. ❤️🎼🎶❤️😎
Bob Segar is another great artist. Nothing sums up that time more than, " running against the wind."
"Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends." Such a poignant yet heartbreaking line.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Rock And Roll Never Forgets" and "Katmandu"!!!! bangers!
What a song, all us men can relate to this epic truth,being young and strong ,running against the wind!! His words are so prophetic and sums it all up. Been digging his masterpieces for over 40 plus years. It never gets old!!!
Out of the many "I was young, now I'm old. Young was better" Bob Seger songs, I like this one the best, because it makes additional observations, like how your "friends" often aren't, how one's life is defined by whatever is due by whatever time, and how life is mostly just a long, though increasingly shorter, struggle. A glass-is-half-empty kind of song, but it is what it is.
Bob Seger always reminds me of Saturday mornings. My mom made us clean the house and do chores before we could go play. She would play Bob Seger and we all would sing and dance while we cleaned. Ahhhh memories!
Genius lyrics from this amazingly talented man. Love me some Bob Seger. 🌺✌️
One thing I like about Bob's songs are that they are relatable, so we get it. We all runnin' against our own winds, whatever they are. Nice reaction!
Look at her straight but serious look she has on her face!! Her man is feelen that beat, but I can clearly see that she is feelen bobs very soul as it cries out with the utmost passion! She definitely understands it!!! Good for you girl!🎉. Now this was when you had to have true genuine talent!! There will never be another "bob seger"!!🤟
Bob with his emotion and story telling is so special.
Music is the universal language. We need more of what brings us all together. Peace and blessings
One of the best songs ever written of loves lost, mistakes made, getting through it, and then suddenly realizing how quick life is flying by. Still yearning for the days of old
This is a deep song. Asia hit the mail on the head. They kid me here in my small home, saying I went out in the world for awhile but eventually came back here to the memories, people and places I know. That’s a common thing for us all. We all have that safe place we call home
It's nice to see Young people that appreciate solid Gold music, there are so many Bands that I grew up with, the radios played one hit after another, I was coming up when Motown was putting out Gold it was when love songs, Hurt songs ruled.
Great video and great reaction.
As we get older we understand the lyrics in Bob Seger’s music more and more.
At 62 I really see it
Great song! You must listen to “Roll me away”! 🎸 I think Seger is quickly becoming one of your favorites.
I'm 66 years old..I grew up listening to Bob Seger. I'm so glad younger folks like you two have discovered such a great talent 😂
Fabulous song - amazing lyrics & storytelling, great musicianship & vocals.vfrom Mr Seger.
Oh & then you add in Glenn Frey on backing vocals...fantastic.
What to leave in..what to leave out 🤘
My stepson is in a Bob Seger tribute band, they play all over town. People absolutely love Bob Seger.
This is my favorite seger song and definitely a contender as my favorite, the older i get the more it hits home. Reminds of my father in many ways and also myself in many ways
Eagles on harmony vocals always give a boost to any song.
If you hear some familiar voices in the chorus, it's the Eagles helping out on this album, they also contributed to the song Fire Lake.
Glad someone mentioned this. Their background vocals are amazing and they are unmistakable. Also on Fire Lake, another great song. Eagles voices are fantastic on that song. Who's gonna break the news about old Uncle Joe?
Other Bob Seger songs to check out. Old time rock and roll,Her Strut,Come To Papa, Shakedown,Katmandu,Rock and Roll Never Forgets,Night Moves,Fire Down Below
That "Against The Wind" album is one of his best. Check out "Her Strut", "Fire Lake" and "You'll Accomp'ny Me" all from this same album.
Bob Seger... Gut punch, fond memories, the joys and sorrows of youth. Staying in the fight. Grabs me and shakes my soul.
All his ballads are loaded with meaning.
Life is a struggle, and we are all running against the wind. Love Bob. Enjoy
God I wish you could of seen this man in concert ! Ive been to many he was one of the best live shows ive ever seen !
the line "deadlines and commitments" I think is referring to his music career, "what to leave in, what to leave out" talks about decisions he has to make when writing and producing his music, "moving eight miles a minute for months at a time," i think that's meaning all the airplane travel he does with his career.
Bob Seger was a long Distance runner in Track , in High school that's where he Derived the song title AGAINST the WIND !
Henley and Frey from the Eagles on background vocals . I was 19 then , 61 now . Very important to me . Great reaction guys , as always
The Eagles did not sing background vocals on this song, only Glenn Frey who sang the background vocals with Bob Seger. The album was produced by Bill Szymczyk who produced The Eagles. Another interesting fact about the song is that there was only supposed to be a piano solo in the middle. Glenn Frey was the one who suggested that the guitarist play with the pianist. That fact is in the liner notes for the song on his Greatest Hits Album.
