At 67 years old that's still my favorite song. Great memories of times gone by, times we'll never get back. I hear this song and tears come running down. Great times.
Thank you so much, Estella! Your kind words mean the world to me and I'm so happy that my music resonates with you. Keep on listening and I'II keep on creating!
I hear ya, just stood here and cried big time, for just a few, I been running against the wind my whole life, at 67 I've mellowed out but I'm still Rebellious as hell!!
I'm 62 years old and I would have left a comment exactly the same as yours if I hadn't read yours first!!! I'm with you sister!!! You're my musical soul mate! Blessings to you always!!! ❤❤❤😊

I am 83 and my FLSTF Is sitting in my garage covered in custom paint and chrome .It's calling to me .I usually take a blast to Greenwich Park and chill out .Thinking of this great track . You can hear Bruce Hornsby in this track .
My hubby only been gone 2 months :-( Segar was his favorite. I cry happy tears whenever I hear a Segar song...I know my baby is with me. RIP Lonnie. I love you
When i was a kid in the 70's and i first heard this, I loved it! What's amazing about this song is, the older you get, the more it starts meaning and the deeper it hits. And it keeps picking up momentum in your soul every day further you go on!
My mom was a big fan of bob seger, I had her funeral today….it was a beautiful day not too hot but really windy and I just kept thinking about this song when we were having the service. Love you mom thanks for everything you really tough me everything you could for the man I’ve became please give my sister and grandparents a hug for me
Absolute truth. I'm 1 year from my 40th birthday, and all I hear is this verse. It sums up a lot of my life. Funny how it took me this many years to learn it. "As the years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And I guess I lost my way There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much I owed" Funny what age and introspection will deliver.
As a child this was one of my dad favorite songs. As life has turned full circle I am 40 and completely understand why he played this song. Until me meet again in heaven , I am running against the wind. RIP dad. I love and miss you.
Well Shelby if you ever find yourself on an Island in Greece named Karpathos..... there's a fantastic rock bar called Galileo....they play all that type of music...Bob Seiger a major part plus many of the others our parents and older siblings listend to with zest.......love it!!!! Seiger actually follows the club's blog :)... I'm actually listening 🎧 to Jerry Rafferty's Baker Street writing this message......:) The happiness never ends.....)
This song hits me so hard. Tears fall almost everytime I hear it. Spent my life like the lyrics in this song...alone and confused, til I started a family at the late age of 42. And it's like he wrote this song for me...word for word. Thank you Bob.
@Melancolia One I hope I'm around long enough to show my kids this song and many others. They're still just little kids, but they have the same heart and soul their dad does. It's just a matter of time. Here's to hoping.
Dude Bob Seger I one of the greatest musicians all time...He has plenty of fans out there!!! He still sells out arenas!!! Or did during his last tour in 2019!!!
This is my dad’s song he’s in ICU right now and although his mind wasn’t all there last night he sang a few words of this song. He’s older now but still running against the wind ❤ praying for his full healing
the power of our love, your love for your Dad, the love we look back on and long for, puts us right where you were at your Dad's gravesite. I hope in some way part of you is always right there. I know the feeling, the longing. never let go of it.

This song ALWAYS hits hard. The line about love that "caught like a wildfire out of control, till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove". Reminds me of that one young love that was so fast and intense that it ended too soon. I'm happily married now but that love will always have a special place in my heart.
Rick Hunt...I totally feel you on this. The love of my life. We were good together but he was young in the Navy and didn't really know where he wanted to be or do once he got out. So we went our separate ways. He's married now but to this day,I'll always love him. He was the best...he was my kindred spirit. All the best to you,Ronald White.❤️
You don't have to be young to have a love like that. I found it at 38 and she was 41. But it ended far too soon. She's been dead for 20 years, and I've never found another love like her, and I'm 70.
I hear my friend;seemed like yesterday I was being sworn in to the Navy (at 17)going to turn 62 in a couple of months;where in the hell did the time go?
@@jimbaker8243 I often ask myself that. Actually I feel like I’m 30 til our high school class rep sends another email about a classmate dropping dead 😐
When I turned 30, someone asked me to describe my 20s. "Caught like a wildfire, out of control, until there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove."
May only be 23 but when I listen to this song I see my mistakes, my wins, my losses, everything flashes. I can’t imagine the depth and pain this song will bring me later in in life.
About a week ago. I realized as I approach my 60th winter, I believe we all, no matter our experiences and situations, have lived this song in one form or another.
My dad was a biker and he would play this beautiful song, he was soo sweet. This was a childhood song I could envision it like yesterday, riding in my dad's car with my mom and sisters. Still running against the wind... God rest my dad's soul. Love you Dad!
Monster Kody. That was a tragic end for a very smart man who struggled to tame his demons. If they left him alone and didn’t constantly harass him, I truly believe the sky was the limit for him. Rest In Paradise, my condolences ma’am
I'm 65. This sounds like me and my man. We burned it down when we were young. Had 3 kids. Jobs. Hard stuff. We were doing it the hard way. Years went by. Still running. Then we lost our daughter. And we found one another and held on tight for dear life. Then i had cancer. And i beat it. Then he had cancer and he beat it. We married when i was 18 and he was 23. 46 years married May 26th. We're shelter from the wind and in love.
Sorry 4 your daughter but no ur not alone I can't no what thats like but ur still rocking so keep moving on thats what they would want im gonna say a prayer 4 u and ur family
I remember being a kid, listening and singing along with this CD with my parents.. I even had the piano book and learned to play it.. I'm 30 now and God knows I miss my parents..
Riding in my dad’s truck windows down in the summer. Bob blasting on the radio. Not a care in the world as a little boy. Now the lyrics make sense in my 40’s
Heard this song for the first time on the radio this morning and it just touched my soul. It has such a calm melody and great lyrics. Such a good song.
When i was 10 years old, my dad used to play this song a lot, it was always on the radio in the car...He would tell me how this song is very meaningful and was special to him. To me, it was just a song with good time and nice sounds, never really listening to the words. Today, as a 40 year old man, this song resonates, strums a chord in my inner being. I sometimes wonder, if what i feel when i hear this song, is what he felt too, 30 years ago.?. Unfortunately, we never developed that closeness that would allow us to discuss these inner feelings...Miss you Dad, wish things were different...would have been nice to know how you really feel.
Avery Thank you and I’m very sorry for your loss too. Your dad was still very young , as are you , and I think the best thing you can do is to go on and live a full life and make him proud . Your not alone , I’m going through it with you , so take care buddy and I wish you well
Once in a while when I was alone and so busy with two jobs I used to go get coffee and donuts on an early Saturday morning around 4:00 am and hit the road headed into the sunrise. Always played his songs. It just seemed to take my mind off of everything for a while. Some songs never get old. They just never get old. They're part of our story in a time gone by so fast.
Maggie, I see that life is catching up with you, I turned 61 this year and I feel that I understand Bob Serger more and more the older I get. His song "Against The Wind" was written with extreme understanding of Love, Life and experiences. God Bless Bob, he has helped to enlighten my love for music and life!
I remember my mom playing this when I was growing up and I was more into the grunge/hard rock genre but at 36 year's old now I have such a deep appreciation for beautiful and timeless music like Bob Seger and so many other's who wrote honest and incredible music!!
One of the classic lines in music...."wish I didnt know now what I didn't know then", Bob's music contains quite a few of these, glad I grew up with his music
I grew up on Bob Seger and I still listen to him on a regular basis. One thing my parents did that I’ll always be thankful for one was exposing me to some of the greatest music.
I'm 67 & still runnin' against the wind. This song, like much of the music of my past, STILL plucks my heartstrings! I saw John Hiatt, Bob Seger & Heart in Greensboro, NC & that place rocked! That ended up being one of the greatest nights of my life! Yeah, baby! 🔥🤘
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️❤️🌹 Please send me a mail via bobseger910@gmail.com
''Against the Wind'' gives me goosebumps. Captured my life in a song. Screwed around in college (my first degree) and took a long time to finish, found a sweet girlfriend who could have been my wife but I fooled around. We broke up, I had several failed relationships, drifted from one job to another. After a decade or so I got married but it was a failure of epic proportion. Got estranged from her, took my second degree (and took my education seriously) and graduated. Found another sweet girl but I'm not running around this time, preparing for the future. I'm older now but still running against the wind.
exactly!!! well put my friend our stories are very similar its strange. my first one was the one and i blew it badly have barely gotten over it after 6 years going back to school here soon to finish my degree and hoping my current gf is the one and that i dont make those same mistakes. Good Luck to yu man.
pinoywheelgunner mine was screwing. around but im in construction i cant keep a relationship. Have dead lines and commitments taking care my kids Still trying be a cowboy
for me its about my constant fight the system(the army in my case and how I've had to fight for things you'd think for an all volunteer military you wouldn't have to fight for). Almost every day a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine commits suicide and military leaders basically look the other way because they know unit toxicity is the primary factor, and the media doesn't CONSISTENTLY report it so nothing ever changes, so its a constant fight for those who see the battle for what it is
This is a song that you just appreciate more as you get older. Now retired and appreciating the grands & great-grands, I get this song like I couldn’t in my 20’s
I wonder how many songs released today will have such a profound effect on someone in 2062. The older I get and the more I listen to this song, the more I realise those who live the longest, the lucky ones, lose the most.
There’s no describing the feelings that I have when this song plays. The memories rush into my mind when I close my eyes. Find myself smiling and crying at same time. Beautiful Beautiful feeling. So grateful. ✌🏼👍🏼🥰
Life is one of best teachers don't feel bad about anything you been thought. Because I'm 55 black man not that it's matter of color what matters that we understand that life is a teacher love you
This is the story of my life. When I die I’d like this song to be played at my funeral. I almost never paid rent ever, I’ve buried my beautiful partner in crime 5 years ago, I’ve been in to 42 countries, never lost a fight and served my country with pride. Always running against the wind.
Thanks for your service, life is so precious as a black man at the age 56, I'm still living in U.N.S. worry about if police going to kill me so what I'm saying you can never feel what as a black men going through in life so take your thumb out your ass .
You would NEVER understand being a black man in this world going through Life you cannot feel this how in the HELL 2021 I still don't feel as a human being.
@@stevenwells7585 I am sorry for you, brother. I really am . It’s not my fault and if it depend on me, none of that would have ever happened. I don’t like the police, never did and never will as I totally get where you coming from. I’ve seen enough not to believe what I’m told to believe and act accordingly. I’m currently in Portugal, those things don’t exist here. Maybe it’s time for you to move somewhere else and star all over new. Take care, man.
The song reminds me of myself, I'm 68 now an Avid Seger fan for 40yrs ! I've drove and traveled through 26 states and lived in Las Vegas 5 times ! . Hollywood nights also hits close to home with me , heading West to see some old friends, good for the Soul! .Turn the Page ! On the road again. I always thought there was Truth in Music or Songs 🎵!.
My uncle’s favorite song and funeral song 11 or 12 years ago, still feels like yesterday! He died two before Christmas buried on the 28th and still a shock to all of us he was what held the WHOLE FAMILY together and now it’s a huge mess and I can’t even try to do what he has always done but I still have my childhood memories! Everything he taught me, the compassion, and living with your heart on your sleeve he lived a great life but taken to too soon 😞 it still feels like yesterday! I can fortunately hear his voice his calls and messages on voicemails
At 18 years of age I ran hard and fast against the wind working in the trades as a Laborer. When I turned age 33 I had a life changing back injury, and after being able to walk again I still ran against the wind but I used wind breaks as much as I could. Now at age 62 next week I watch the wind speed and when it dies down to a acceptable level I jog briskly and get lots done! Experience matters, cunning and craftyness matters, but knowing WHEN to run and when NOT to run against the wind is what matters the most! Great song.
My favourite song ever! I was only 6 years old when it was released, so have appreciated it as a young person and now at 48… “Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then”, & “Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends” are the best lines and more appreciated as you get older. There will never be a song that can compare to this. The Eagles, Van Morrison & Glenn Frey are the only ones to come anywhere near this masterpiece. 💜🙌
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song in 1980. I absolutely loved the last line in the first verse, "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." I thought Seeger must be a genius to come up with line like that. Now, all those years later, it's still a great song. I'm 75 now and still love to hear and play it. And what really cracks me up is that Seeger was putting his real emotions into this one, singing how he's "older now" when he was probably 35 when he wrote it!!! Those of us lucky enough to make it to our 70s and beyond can really appreciate how age is such a relative thing.
yeah he didn't think it sounded quite grammatically correct, but it is from my limited knowledge of grammar rules, haha. I tuned out when they taught that grammar stuff in grade school.
This song resonated with me the first time I heard it. At 55 it rings through more than ever. Lost basically everything except my wondeful daughter who stood by my side and big brother who gave us shelter which I am eternally grateful. I never gave up and the light is beginning to shine but still running against the wind.
SEGER WAITED WAY LONG FOR THE R&R HALL OF FAME TO FINALLY RECOGNIZE HIM AS AN AMERICAN ICON.. ONE OF OUR FINEST SINGER- SONGWRITER-MUSICIANS!! ONE OF THE BEST!!
might have been something personal (OR POLITICAL) going on there. He has a good 40 year career under his belt and always made real good ROCKANDROLL! Not blues, or soul or jazz... but AMERICAN ROCKANDROLL!!!
Uma pessoa muito especial me mostrou essa música há uns meses... Amei desde a primeira vez que ouvi. Ontem ele fez a passagem dele para o outro lado... Totalmente inesperado e agora eu só consigo ouvir essa música e chorar. Descanse em paz, Iza.
I've been a Bob Seger fan for a long time, but -- like so many others -- Running Against the Wind took on a new, special, melancholy meaning with the death of my mother. Perhaps it's still too fresh, but as much as I love this song (especially now), I can't stop the tears when I hear it. Much love and heartfelt prayers to all who've lost a loved one. I have to believe time will temper that horrible ache in our chests.
And the years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends :( I found myself further and further from my home And I guess I lost my way There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live
I think a lot of the fellas out there can relate to this. It’s not a young mans song for sure. You have to have a few years under your belt to relate totally. I hope all the fellas out there that have loved and lost are doing ok. Remember, it’s not all your fault. It’s a two way street. 🤙❤️
Singers like Bob Seger or Bruce Springsteen sing about life. About the daily struggles we all have. That's what make this kind of artist special. Everytime I heard this song I get emotional!
I worked on an overnight grocery store stocking crew in So. Cal. We would always listen to KLOS. I always enjoyed these Bob Seger songs when they were played.
It's great that we were able to experience this time! I am now 76 years old and waiting to die. I have cancer that is no longer treatable. The music of the 60s/70s helps me a lot in my last days or weeks. There will never be such a great time again!!😢
Against the win was my father’s favorite song. He was layed to rest last Saturday we just had to play this for his send off and I just find myself listening to it again 😢😢😢love u dad rest.❤

How can any older person like myself at 84 not appreciate this song. I am proud to say that I have always ran against the wind.
I'm 73, and getting older, sir. This is my favorite song ever written. Bob Seger has a way with words, all of his music. God bless you
I'm 42 going on 80 born in 1980 🏃♂️there all 42 west texas wind love 💘yall old ones

How can anyone not? I'm 46.
This always makes me think of my teenage years. More and more each year. And my Dad.

This is and always will be my favorite song from Bob Seger.
Who's still with me ?

You will never forget your Dad.
May he rest in peace....and you to exist in peace.

There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed"

Keep on listening and I'II keep on creating!
This song ALWAYS hits hard. The line about love that "caught like a wildfire out of control, till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove". Reminds me of that one young love that was so fast and intense that it ended too soon. I'm happily married now but that love will always have a special place in my heart.
Rick Hunt...I totally feel you on this. The love of my life. We were good together but he was young in the Navy and didn't really know where he wanted to be or do once he got out. So we went our separate ways. He's married now but to this day,I'll always love him. He was the best...he was my kindred spirit. All the best to you,Ronald White.❤️
Right on man.
You don't have to be young to have a love like that. I found it at 38 and she was 41. But it ended far too soon. She's been dead for 20 years, and I've never found another love like her, and I'm 70.
I can agree
@@tombrown1898I’m so sorry for your loss.
Where did the time go? I was 18...and suddenly I’m 68.
I hear you mate
You tell me I was 19 now I am 61
Gonna be 66 in a few days,wtf
I hear my friend;seemed like yesterday I was being sworn in to the Navy (at 17)going to turn 62 in a couple of months;where in the hell did the time go?
@@jimbaker8243 I often ask myself that. Actually I feel like I’m 30 til our high school class rep sends another email about a classmate dropping dead 😐
RIP dad... I can still hear you singing this song....
Yes
RIP to my Dad too. I love you dad, you left us too soon. Way too soon. Sis and I are still in pain.
Very cool Becca! I bet your dad was awesome!
Same 💗💗💗
Here here...I miss my brother who loved this song greatly😔
When I turned 30, someone asked me to describe my 20s.
"Caught like a wildfire, out of control, until there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove."
Exactly!!!
I'm 65 now an look back an wonder how the helll I survived but my kids have now been gone for so long now
True stuff
This is true song always. This is one of my favorite song.
I'm 31 and lived my 20s with my ex in a wildfire.
May only be 23 but when I listen to this song I see my mistakes, my wins, my losses, everything flashes. I can’t imagine the depth and pain this song will bring me later in in life.
Completely understand what your saying. Im 23 and have made lots of mistakes, but still running against the wind.
It only gets better as you get older
I'm the lucky one - listened to it first at 12, I guess... Good Luck, unknown Friend...
Please take heed!!!!
There's a saying that goes... "Experience is a good Teacher... Unfortunately it cost you your Youth".
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity, is another one
Bob F right
your as old as you think you Are. know your young and watch how much fun life still is.
Love that saying.So true."you cant put an old head on young shoulders"

About a week ago. I realized as I approach my 60th winter, I believe we all, no matter our experiences and situations, have lived this song in one form or another.
Absolutely, We've all ran against the wind
My dad was a biker and he would play this beautiful song, he was soo sweet. This was a childhood song I could envision it like yesterday, riding in my dad's car with my mom and sisters. Still running against the wind... God rest my dad's soul. Love you Dad!
"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then". Great lyrics.
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Thanks you for your kind words and thank you for choosing my music how long have you been listening to my music
One of my dad's favorites.
May he rest in peace.
Still runnin' against the wind...
This song is dedicated to my friend Kody Scott, one of his favorite songs, And he ran against the wind until the end.. S.I. P Kody 🙏🏾❤️
Monster Kody. That was a tragic end for a very smart man who struggled to tame his demons. If they left him alone and didn’t constantly harass him, I truly believe the sky was the limit for him. Rest In Paradise, my condolences ma’am
PODE HAVER COMEÇO SEM FIM. MAS NÃO TEM FIM SEM COMEÇO
God bless Anthony from Ireland ❤️❤️❤️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Rest in peace to all those who have finally found peace now their souls run with the Wind amen
RIP Scott. You ran a good race man. Not an easy one but you ran !
It's not the getting older that makes us sad; it's that it happened so damned fast.
think that getting older is the only way we have not to die young, maybe it helps.
amen brother...........
You said it Dino....time is going way too fast!
Amen... "The years were short, but the days seemed long" - The Shins
Still runnin'...
time makes me sad and free
ran against the wind all my life ,68 this year and fighting blood cancer but i'm not ready to give up never have never will, so bring it on🤠
This one goes out to all the hard workers who are battling demons and still running against the wind 🍻..cheers!
Thank you
Bless you man.👏🏽
I agree I’m still struggling with excessive eating and drinking Jim Beam and Doritos has taken over my soul for nineteen years now I’m 29
Amen
Amen brother keep running❤️
Bob you are a master at lyrics. You nailed it. Means more as we get older
I can’t begin to explain how this song speaks to my very soul. Where did the years go when I was young and strong??
I'm 65. This sounds like me and my man. We burned it down when we were young. Had 3 kids. Jobs. Hard stuff. We were doing it the hard way. Years went by. Still running. Then we lost our daughter. And we found one another and held on tight for dear life. Then i had cancer. And i beat it. Then he had cancer and he beat it. We married when i was 18 and he was 23. 46 years married May 26th. We're shelter from the wind and in love.
Don't let go
Married when I was 17 years old husband is 8 years older his favorite band
Thanks for sharing this amazing story❤Indeed, shelter from the wind…love conquers all❤
❤Tell it❤
Sorry 4 your daughter but no ur not alone I can't no what thats like but ur still rocking so keep moving on thats what they would want im gonna say a prayer 4 u and ur family
I remember being a kid, listening and singing along with this CD with my parents.. I even had the piano book and learned to play it..
I'm 30 now and God knows I miss my parents..
Riding in my dad’s truck windows down in the summer. Bob blasting on the radio. Not a care in the world as a little boy. Now the lyrics make sense in my 40’s
Me at 13: That's a cool song.
Me at 52: Yeah, ok. I get it now.
Same :13 today 36 just saying lol love he's music
Me at 65. Get it. Got it then. I dont ever change. Still stupid as hell.
@@sandyreffitt9110 Grumpy old man lol
I’m 14 and listening to this
im 13, I feel you.
Heard this song for the first time on the radio this morning and it just touched my soul. It has such a calm melody and great lyrics. Such a good song.
I can remember my mother dancing to this how I loved to watch her dance no mater what mood she was in Bob seager could always make everything better .
Yes
Nobody beats your own mother...rip
Happy new month everyone here... I’m looking forward to receive your wishes too 🥳
Absolutely you're right happy new year and how are you doing?
Awesome.
When i was 10 years old, my dad used to play this song a lot, it was always on the radio in the car...He would tell me how this song is very meaningful and was special to him. To me, it was just a song with good time and nice sounds, never really listening to the words. Today, as a 40 year old man, this song resonates, strums a chord in my inner being. I sometimes wonder, if what i feel when i hear this song, is what he felt too, 30 years ago.?. Unfortunately, we never developed that closeness that would allow us to discuss these inner feelings...Miss you Dad, wish things were different...would have been nice to know how you really feel.
Sin Nombre I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and this is how it was between us too so your comments really hit home but thank you for the words
Gaz 1980 , 👍🏼 im a 1980 too.

I'm so very thankful to have a close relationship with my father
Avery Thank you and I’m very sorry for your loss too. Your dad was still very young , as are you , and I think the best thing you can do is to go on and live a full life and make him proud . Your not alone , I’m going through it with you , so take care buddy and I wish you well
Once in a while when I was alone and so busy with two jobs I used to go get coffee and donuts on an early Saturday morning around 4:00 am and hit the road headed into the sunrise. Always played his songs. It just seemed to take my mind off of everything for a while. Some songs never get old. They just never get old. They're part of our story in a time gone by so fast.
Such a great reminder that can have anyone thinking about their past and all the memories they've made. Great song indeed.
Boston cream??
Happy New month Rose, I hope you don’t mind us wishing Bob together a productive new month? 🥳🥳🥳
Absolutely you're right happy new year and how are you doing?
They are ..
My grandpa loved this still makes me cry listening to it almost 4 yrs later. You were a great man and a hell of a grandfather.
Maggie, I see that life is catching up with you, I turned 61 this year and I feel that I understand Bob Serger more and more the older I get. His song "Against The Wind" was written with extreme understanding of Love, Life and experiences. God Bless Bob, he has helped to enlighten my love for music and life!
I remember my mom playing this when I was growing up and I was more into the grunge/hard rock genre but at 36 year's old now I have such a deep appreciation for beautiful and timeless music like Bob Seger and so many other's who wrote honest and incredible music!!

@Bob Seger well Bob, I can call you Bob right? Over 50 yrs
@@toddh8463 Thanks for being a true fan Todd h are you currently on any of my fans club?
I grew up on Bob Seger and I still listen to him on a regular basis. One thing my parents did that I’ll always be thankful for one was exposing me to some of the greatest music.
Listening to this takes me back I’m 52, Bob Seger Thank you ❤
"...there in the darkness with the radio playing low..." Countless memories and emotions brought to mind every time I hear that line.
Same 😢
I'm 67 & still runnin' against the wind.
This song, like much of the music of my past, STILL plucks my heartstrings! I saw John Hiatt, Bob Seger & Heart in Greensboro, NC & that place rocked! That ended up being one of the greatest nights of my life! Yeah, baby! 🔥🤘

I'm 64 years old now...and I'm here in a little town up in the mountains of Colombia drinking a cup of coffee and listening to this beautiful song..!
''Against the Wind'' gives me goosebumps. Captured my life in a song. Screwed around in college (my first degree) and took a long time to finish, found a sweet girlfriend who could have been my wife but I fooled around. We broke up, I had several failed relationships, drifted from one job to another. After a decade or so I got married but it was a failure of epic proportion. Got estranged from her, took my second degree (and took my education seriously) and graduated. Found another sweet girl but I'm not running around this time, preparing for the future. I'm older now but still running against the wind.
applies to so many of us then we find ourselves in the last generation.
exactly!!! well put my friend our stories are very similar its strange. my first one was the one and i blew it badly have barely gotten over it after 6 years going back to school here soon to finish my degree and hoping my current gf is the one and that i dont make those same mistakes. Good Luck to yu man.
Thanks. Wish you the best as well
pinoywheelgunner mine was screwing. around but im in construction i cant keep a relationship. Have dead lines and commitments taking care my kids Still trying be a cowboy
for me its about my constant fight the system(the army in my case and how I've had to fight for things you'd think for an all volunteer military you wouldn't have to fight for). Almost every day a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine commits suicide and military leaders basically look the other way because they know unit toxicity is the primary factor, and the media doesn't CONSISTENTLY report it so nothing ever changes, so its a constant fight for those who see the battle for what it is
The secrets that we shared. The mountains that we moved....2020 this song is still gold
Amen my guy
I'm 22 and this song is runnin with me
ethan woodman 19 :’(
One of my fav song.
Back when lyrics actually meant something
We are so fortunate to have Bob in our lives...I'm 75 and still listening...
This is a song that you just appreciate more as you get older. Now retired and appreciating the grands & great-grands, I get this song like I couldn’t in my 20’s
I wonder how many songs released today will have such a profound effect on someone in 2062. The older I get and the more I listen to this song, the more I realise those who live the longest, the lucky ones, lose the most.
I'm still running against the wind. And a lot older now. Bob Seger one of the greatest rockers ever a true legend.
surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends aint that the truth.... been there
Hits hard when you get older and realize it.
Im still there..i dont make friends no more...they only let u down
@@bobbyjohnson3137 for real man. Got 1 friend and I learned pretty quick people don’t really care if they don’t already know you
@@pleidiolwyfimwlad2104 yep friends is kinda big waste of mental space and physical time
@@Jhart44 yep..waste of time n energy
There’s no describing the feelings that I have when this song plays. The memories rush into my mind when I close my eyes. Find myself smiling and crying at same time. Beautiful Beautiful feeling. So grateful. ✌🏼👍🏼🥰
bob seger is one of the greatest, singer, song writers and live performers.
This tune brings tears to my eyes, more now that I'm older 🧓
Life is one of best teachers don't feel bad about anything you been thought. Because I'm 55 black man not that it's matter of color what matters that we understand that life is a teacher love you
Me too...good thought...
Youre not alone bro.
8 mile road for month sat a time
How fast 8 miles a minute
This is the story of my life. When I die I’d like this song to be played at my funeral.
I almost never paid rent ever, I’ve buried my beautiful partner in crime 5 years ago, I’ve been in to 42 countries, never lost a fight and served my country with pride. Always running against the wind.
Thanks for your service, life is so precious as a black man at the age 56, I'm still living in U.N.S. worry about if police going to kill me so what I'm saying you can never feel what as a black men going through in life so take your thumb out your ass .
You would NEVER understand being a black man in this world going through Life you cannot feel this how in the HELL 2021 I still don't feel as a human being.
@@stevenwells7585 I am sorry for you, brother. I really am . It’s not my fault and if it depend on me, none of that would have ever happened. I don’t like the police, never did and never will as I totally get where you coming from. I’ve seen enough not to believe what I’m told to believe and act accordingly.
I’m currently in Portugal, those things don’t exist here. Maybe it’s time for you to move somewhere else and star all over new. Take care, man.
Than you for your service
Keep Running.
The song reminds me of myself, I'm 68 now an Avid Seger fan for 40yrs ! I've drove and traveled through 26 states and lived in Las Vegas 5 times ! . Hollywood nights also hits close to home with me , heading West to see some old friends, good for the Soul! .Turn the Page ! On the road again. I always thought there was Truth in Music or Songs 🎵!.
My uncle’s favorite song and funeral song 11 or 12 years ago, still feels like yesterday! He died two before Christmas buried on the 28th and still a shock to all of us he was what held the WHOLE FAMILY together and now it’s a huge mess and I can’t even try to do what he has always done but I still have my childhood memories! Everything he taught me, the compassion, and living with your heart on your sleeve he lived a great life but taken to too soon 😞 it still feels like yesterday! I can fortunately hear his voice his calls and messages on voicemails
At 18 years of age I ran hard and fast against the wind working in the trades as a Laborer. When I turned age 33 I had a life changing back injury, and after being able to walk again I still ran against the wind but I used wind breaks as much as I could. Now at age 62 next week I watch the wind speed and when it dies down to a acceptable level I jog briskly and get lots done! Experience matters, cunning and craftyness matters, but knowing WHEN to run and when NOT to run against the wind is what matters the most! Great song.
Forever and always reminds me of my old man and I fight back the tears ... Life is too short y'all ❤️
Right on
Against the wind
I'm 73 year old still love the song shout out to all. Sir Tony here fr bf homes paranaque...Mabuhay!!🙏🙏🙋🙋🙋❤️❤️❤️
"livin' to run, runnin' to live,"...my god, so many lines in this one song...my vote for the song of all time.
My favourite song ever! I was only 6 years old when it was released, so have appreciated it as a young person and now at 48…
“Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then”, & “Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends” are the best lines and more appreciated as you get older.
There will never be a song that can compare to this. The Eagles, Van Morrison & Glenn Frey are the only ones to come anywhere near this masterpiece. 💜🙌
I've been all over this planet. Ex military. I'm still running. Never heard a more true song.
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song in 1980. I absolutely loved the last line in the first verse, "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." I thought Seeger must be a genius to come up with line like that. Now, all those years later, it's still a great song. I'm 75 now and still love to hear and play it. And what really cracks me up is that Seeger was putting his real emotions into this one, singing how he's "older now" when he was probably 35 when he wrote it!!! Those of us lucky enough to make it to our 70s and beyond can really appreciate how age is such a relative thing.
"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"... What a lyric.
Steve Melancon Love that lyric too man. The funny thing is, Bob Seger hated that lyric. He wanted to take it out, but was convinced to leave it in.
yeah he didn't think it sounded quite grammatically correct, but it is from my limited knowledge of grammar rules, haha. I tuned out when they taught that grammar stuff in grade school.
Definitely one of the best lines in the song
One of the best lines of any song
Who's listen this Song on june 2019?
This song resonated with me the first time I heard it. At 55 it rings through more than ever. Lost basically everything except my wondeful daughter who stood by my side and big brother who gave us shelter which I am eternally grateful. I never gave up and the light is beginning to shine but still running against the wind.
"...Surrounded by strangers i thought were my friends..." you don't understand that line til you get older
One year from my 40th birthday, and I've been listening to this song and that line, and talk about a resonance...
This was old when I was growing up and I grew up on it thanks to my parents. I am so grateful for the music they listen to 💗
This is the best song I've ever heard
Lucky you. I can't found a winner among a thousand. Greetings from Argentina

I've been a Bob Seger fan for a long time, but -- like so many others -- Running Against the Wind took on a new, special, melancholy meaning with the death of my mother. Perhaps it's still too fresh, but as much as I love this song (especially now), I can't stop the tears when I hear it. Much love and heartfelt prayers to all who've lost a loved one. I have to believe time will temper that horrible ache in our chests.
It’ll be quite awhile, I’m sorry to say. When you love deeply, it hurts deeply. 💔 I’m sorry for the loss of your Mom.

I’m 31 and this song reminds me of my parents and my childhood. It hits me straight to the core. It can bring me to tears.
my first true love turned me on to Bob Seger when I was 15, i'am 54 now and still get chills when I hear some Bob Seger !!!
My first true love did too when I was 17 and I am 57 now and Bob Segar just reminds me of that time long ago.
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends :(
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
6 years ago ... wow
