I never liked the terms "easy listening" or even "soft rock" because they imply the music is devoid of passion or meaning and suited mainly for background sound. Just because it isn't loud or fast doesn't mean it is bland.
I look for this Guy and that great band on the show STORYTELLERS. It is always Springsteen and bonjovi? Bonjovi? Bob Seger is the best story teller . Made in America.
The great Pete Carr is on lead guitar, he is one of the Muscle Shoals, AL musicians affectionately referred to as "The Swampers" by Lynard Skynard. Seger recorded a lot music down in Muscle Shoals. I've been to the studio, and though small, incredible music flowed out of it.
Couldn't agree more. Fantastic singer and storyteller. As a teenager Seger definitely influenced how I looked at the world. A lot of today's music is more about presentation and a lot less less about substance, video before voice. Great song from a great artist.
I completely agree with everything you said. How do Springsteen & bonjovi get to be called " Storytellers " on axis TV and Bob Seger is not? He is the best American Storyteller and you can't beat the Silver Bullet Band. I've seen them Bob Seger and the sbb twice in my teens and Springsteen 1 time . I don't understand bonjovi? But maybe he was just behind me a few years? I do like the theme for Deadliest Catch. Other than that 1 song. I don't know another Bonjovi song. Once I'd heard how, " The Boss and Bonjovi " hired an organic gardener the other hired a Bee keeper to pay? At that time 20? Years ago to slip past and got to pay $100 & $150 on their property taxes? They lost me forever. I'll keep what I have with my cd's and LP's . I will Never buy anything from either of them again. I don't own Bonjovi, but when the left wing " stars" sold their entire catalogs to SONY . Again, they have skipped out on paying taxes. I'm just disappointed. Bet this, they have a clause in their contacts with SONY that when a republican takes the oval office. They will get their entire catalogs back. It's just a shell game. Just bcz you can, doesn't mean you should. Have a great day. Marla
I was in the navy back in the 1970's on an aircraft carrier. A hurricane sank a Norwegian freighter. Only one man survived. we picked him up after he had been adrift for two days.

this always makes me cry and reminds me of The Edmund Fitzgerald. I live in MI, and met many widows buying The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald record afterwards.
Am I shedding tears because I'm depressed, or tears just because I'm getting old and realize that I also captained a Ship of Fools? God bless Bob Seger, I will miss him so much when he passes...
A wise man bought me an album called Beautiful Loser and I've had a love affair with Seger since then . My ultimate favorite singer . The best . No other way to say it .
Bob Seger is a great storyteller the best ever!!! Detroit The Motor City where we Know music!!!! His music is his travels through his life... He is kind and ever so nice.... No big production here just jeans t- shirt and tennies!!! I met him in Traverse City, Michigan what a polite man a humble man... Just pure Rock and Roll !!! Thanks for all your great music... Music is the heart of the soul !!! 🎶🎶.. ❤️❤️❤️ ..... Love him here!!! 😊😊😊....

used to sing this song long ago in a club. My gorgeous wife loved it!!Makes me cry when I hear it. My love is gone,but never forgotten!! RIP Christy my love.
I grew up in Flint, must of been '71-'72 or so. My buddies and I would sneak out of our windows meet up and ride our bikes to the bar/lounge he was playing at just to hear him through the outside of the back of the bldg. His band was called the Bob Seger System at the time. Him, GFR, Ted, Motown, MC5 among many many others ranked very high in our world. GOOD STUFF!
Dont forget Iggy and the Stooges.....Detroit had a happening music scene in the 60's and 70's....Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Frygid Pink, plus all them other folks. Great stuff back then.
It is impossible for Bob to write a bad song ! He is amazing in his ability to capture the human condition and emotion in Music in such a way for it to be an experience you wont forget ! Thank you Bob for all the years and all the songs and all the memories !
Who's here in August 2021???... God I love this song!... It washes ovdr yiu like a high tide of Caramel Ice cream What is it that makes it so perfect????
Yes, a brilliant song, one of the most underrated of all time. The lyrics are so descriptive and clear, and the pace of the song fits the story being told. Bob Seger expresses a rare quality of having a soothing, comforting voice, even when describing a troubling setting or situation. That treasure being similar to the great Van Morrison. We are so fortunate to have these hidden gems of the great artists in our mist.
Quite possibly the greatest song even written. At the very least, in the top three. The melody along with the mystic keep me intrigued even to this day, some 27 years after first hearing it.
Always love Bob Seger! Have seen him in concert 8 times in 8 different states! Bob is a true Rock and Roll Legend! Love you Bob! Patty Caruso, Lake City, FL
What an awesome description. I love Bob Seger too, he has touched me like no other artist ever has. He is the best ever and there is no song of his that I can say I dont like. As long as he is singing it, it is great. Saw him for the first time in Edmonton last month and he is still just fantastic. The concert couldnt have been better and I waited for so long to see him. Some of the songs made me tear up when he started playing them. Hope he comes back to Edmonton again.
I was but a lad and became musically aware. Ship of Fool and I'm your Captain by GFR where the light switch. Will all ways an forever be my 2 favorite songs. Gotta love Michigan rock!
Roll me away is my favorite, I stood on a mountain top (Arctic Cirle truck stop, I-80) staring out at the great divide when i came to WA leaning in my sportster in 1979. That's my life.

LOVED YOUR COMMENT!!! .... and same here, i grew up loving Seger and his heart felt beautiful music that he gave us, i would always sing his songs for a spiritual pick me up when feeling blusie, Sunbrust, Sunspot baby, Firelake, and Ship of fools were my faves to sing, but i loved all of Segers Art. :) Big Smiles :)
Ok take 5 minutes realizing I was out to sea mentally but physically down to earth nostalgia music with that's entertainment at a mans best Documentaries notorized today may 23 2024
This is the song that got me hooked on to Bob Seger going thru Bro’s albums as a 8 year old well I’m 50 now haven’t stopped for 42 years now and will always will never stop!
I love this song, but it's not really about being on the ocean. It's about life and trusting people and being let down. It's a great song has always been one of my favorites~!!! YES SEGER RULES I VOTED HIM IN FOR THE HALL OF FAME. PEACE SEGER AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC IN MY LIFE!!!
"Ship Of Fools" "Tell me quick" said Old McFee "What's this all have to do with me?" "I've spent all my time at sea a loner." "Is there something else I should know?" "Something hidden down below the level of your conversation?" Well he turned away before the answer Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear It became to clear So it went as we put out I was left in constant doubt Everything I asked about seemed private The captain strolled the bridge one night I stopped him in the evening light To ask him would it be all right to join him But he stood there like some idol And he listened like some temple And then he turned away All along the fateful coast We moved silent like a ghost The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us The wind came building from the cold northwest And soon the waves began to crest Crashing cross the forward deck All hands lost I alone survived the sinking I alone possessed the tools On that ship of fools
I remember when Bob first started and listening to night moves I was 17 years old and my brother in law telling me that Bob sieger is going to be famous,,, well he far surpassed that,,,,he's a legend
@Bob Seger Hey buddy,, never going to happen, your on my favorite list l listen to a song of your's everyday, we grew up together my friend, your songs got me through many times, we think alike and use the same wording. I'm sure we would be great friends.
@Bob Seger Your welcome Bob no I'm not In any clubs I'm a loner type pretty much keep too my self in my garage restoring classic cars trucks and motorcycles and listening to the music I grew up with that you was a huge part of, lve always loved your music and song writing your words touch deep in my soul, like a rock at now 64 tells my story, l think I know the words too all your songs and I have to sing along but I don't have your singing talent, lol. All your relate to a different time in my life. You definitely have a way with words my friend.
@Bob Seger I've known many heartaches and you was always there to help me through you will never know how much listening to your songs helped me can by,
Growing up listening to Bob's music reminds of different parts of my lifes journey, his music depicted some of my trials and tribulations as well as the happy times of my youthful manhood. I was always a loner and a drifter much like his music reflected...Thank you for the great tunes........ Bob Seger
I always took it for granted that there was Bob Seger and every other performer who wished they were. Now in my 70's I realize that he never received all of the glory and fame I thought he had. There will never be another like him.
Classic Bob Seger, thoughtful lyrics: The "ship of fools" is an allegory/ metaphor for any group of people without a good leader; oblivious to their surroundings, arguing amongst themselves, and clueless as to the destination of their journey. They, and all who travel with them are destined for shipwreck. Rock on forever, Bob Seger!
For you, Captain (later Rear Admiral) Paul D. Butcher. I was very proud to have served on YOUR ship of fools- the U.S.S. Oklahoma City (CLG/CG-5), 1974-1976. R.I.P., Sir.

How many listening to this classic in 2024
Me. Been listening to this masterpiece since the 70s.
Susan WVa
never heard this song for almost 40 years and yes im listening in april 2024
His best song ever ❤
Me too. I live near and fish Lake Huron in my 18ft boat and finished high-school the year the Mighty Fitz went down.
My favorite Seger tune. Hard to believe it was not a huge hit. I guess it speaks to a very particular audience.
His best song ever
This is his best song
✍️
Mine too!! Little known but damn’, it was sooo good❤❤
Thank you, brother for touching so many people’s heart and soul. You’re the man.
This song should be the poster child for what one may call "easy listening". What a unique tune. How could someone not like it?!
I never liked the terms "easy listening" or even "soft rock" because they imply the music is devoid of passion or meaning and suited mainly for background sound. Just because it isn't loud or fast doesn't mean it is bland.
I'd love to hear Ross do it on Season 23 of the Voice!
I look for this Guy and that great band on the show STORYTELLERS. It is always Springsteen and bonjovi? Bonjovi? Bob Seger is the best story teller . Made in America.
@@lindaharbison9567 hey thats ok... everyone has an opinion.
The great Pete Carr is on lead guitar, he is one of the Muscle Shoals, AL musicians affectionately referred to as "The Swampers" by Lynard Skynard. Seger recorded a lot music down in Muscle Shoals. I've been to the studio, and though small, incredible music flowed out of it.
Couldn't agree more. Fantastic singer and storyteller. As a teenager Seger definitely influenced how I looked at the world. A lot of today's music is more about presentation and a lot less less about substance, video before voice. Great song from a great artist.

It's been 37 years since I left the merchant marine. But this song takes me back to sea everytime. Absolutely love it.
As a former U.S. Navy sailor and Merchant Marine, I go to this song for comfort.
I was in the navy back in the 1970's on an aircraft carrier. A hurricane sank a Norwegian freighter. Only one man survived. we picked him up after he had been adrift for two days.
Thanks for your service! Patty Caruso
There have been moments when this song hits me so hard that i have found myself sobbing.
Thank you for your service sir!
Its great for daily life
Decades of Seger still isn't enough. Give me more!
larrytaggett agree!
His songs are timeless and help me stay grounded. Best stuff ever written.

this always makes me cry and reminds me of The Edmund Fitzgerald. I live in MI, and met many widows buying The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald record afterwards.
probably wouldnt even get a recording contract today.
music execs wouldnt spot talent if it bit them on the arse.
the greatest american rock star ever
Yeah, right, geezer.
As sad as that is ! It’s probably true .
He is a good one for sure
Yep so true
@@sludge4125 Move on, millie.
Am I shedding tears because I'm depressed, or tears just because I'm getting old and realize that I also captained a Ship of Fools? God bless Bob Seger, I will miss him so much when he passes...
You’re alright, mate. We all get older: only difference is some of us recognize truly inspirational music!
He might out live you
I know the feeling. I too have reached my sunset years, in some ways I welcome it. You hang tough, we will both see Seger one day
We all feel that ,stay strong and Love !❤️
Chest out chin up face your maker

used to sing this song long ago in a club. My gorgeous wife loved it!!Makes me cry when I hear it. My love is gone,but never forgotten!! RIP Christy my love.
sorry, brutha
Forget the music, the guy is a masterful poet.
You're so right he is the working-class poet of America .
And he was awarded the Yellow Beret.
Absolutely amazing
I grew up in Flint, must of been '71-'72 or so.

Saw him in Ann Arbor - I think Mary Street was the real street in the song. They rocked our asses off
would luv 2 seen him bet awesome
Cool
Wish could go back to early 70s I'm from Virginia big fan
Dont forget Iggy and the Stooges.....Detroit had a happening music scene in the 60's and 70's....Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Frygid Pink, plus all them other folks. Great stuff back then.
One of the best songs ever written and/or sung, by one of the best musicians ever.
Been listening n loving this story teller with the unlimited rythms since the 70's...and know what bob..your songs still moves me something fierce..
It is impossible for Bob to write a bad song ! He is amazing in his ability to capture the human condition and emotion in Music in such a way for it to be an experience you wont forget !
Thank you Bob for all the years and all the songs and all the memories !
I agree, until he wrote Wait For Me. He'd be welcome to live life on his terms... But don't expect me to be there when you decide to come back!
@@tinaanoles-cochran2552 If it was Bob, you'd be there😅💯
@@kevino4846 no I wouldn't!!
Who's here in August 2021???... God I love this song!... It washes ovdr yiu like a high tide of Caramel Ice cream
What is it that makes it so perfect????
Bob Seger always sang with his heart
One of Seger's all time great tunes, a musical genius, love the words to this song.
This an example of GREAT AMERICAN POETRY
Yes, a brilliant song, one of the most underrated of all time. The lyrics are so descriptive and clear, and the pace of the song fits the story being told. Bob Seger expresses a rare quality of having a soothing, comforting voice, even when describing a troubling setting or situation. That treasure being similar to the great Van Morrison. We are so fortunate to have these hidden gems of the great artists in our mist.
In that vein, The Ring, The Famous Final Scene, Somewhere Tonight, Main Street. I'm sure there are others.
One of my favorite songs from my favorite album by Bob Seger. The guy is an American Rock Icon. Amazing singer/songwriter/musician.
One of his best...very underated... Never got much play on the album oriented rock stations... Maybe it sounded to country for them
Quite possibly the greatest song even written. At the very least, in the top three. The melody along with the mystic keep me intrigued even to this day, some 27 years after first hearing it.
He sings the songs of my life.wonderful song.Ship of fool's.
Yeah, right there with Little Willy and the Pina Colada Song.
But twice.....cassette ,cd hahhaahha classic
Its as badass as it gets. 50 yeats later! Hahah bought the album not on e
agree...it's always been one of my favorites, along with Shame on the Moon. Bob was the greatest male artist of all time!
Always love Bob Seger! Have seen him in concert 8 times in 8 different states! Bob is a true Rock and Roll Legend! Love you Bob!
Patty Caruso, Lake City, FL
Listened to this all the time at Marine Barrackes Alaska in the late 70's. Those were the days...

Absolutely agree he's just absolutely amazing
Bob Seger - best there is for what he plays and sings. Give me my bike..a long ride...and Bob playing.. and life makes sense..
It's all about the ride.....
sounds good to me.....
Roll me away
Ahh 1977. I wanta go back. Good times.
Let's go
Springsteen said"if I'm the boss,Seager is the godfather, I agree adore them both,yvonne NESS
lol,seger had an album out 5yrs before anyone ever heard of Springsteen..
No truer words. Bob Seger is one hell of a poetic singer!! Love EVERY SINGLE SONG HE EVER WROTE! ♥️🌹🎶☝🏽
Don't ever quit Bob, Please, Northing but talent
I still like this song after all these years.
I am 46years old.This song takes me back to my teenage years.Young people today has no idea who Bob Seger is.
I spent most of my life at sea. This is one of Best songs of the Melancholy of sea service.
Another one of his "Gems". This song is also a perfect example of his ability to tell a story and paint a picture thru his music.
Fantastic talent and sound.Great job Bob!!
For me this is his most underrated song...Yet like all of his songs...This is a masterpiece
Your music never ever disappoints me
I was but a lad and became musically aware. Ship of Fool and I'm your Captain by GFR where the light switch. Will all ways an forever be my 2 favorite songs.
Gotta love Michigan rock!
another guy who has alot of great B side tunes
Roll me away is my favorite, I stood on a mountain top (Arctic Cirle truck stop, I-80) staring out at the great divide when i came to WA leaning in my sportster in 1979. That's my life.
Move amazing, haunting lyrics by Seger.
One of the greatest artist of all times , ❤

Was that back when the Ships were made of Wood and the Men were made of Steel ?
I love this song, but it's not really about being on the ocean. It's about life and trusting people and being let down. It's a great song has always been one of my favorites~!!!
YES SEGER RULES I VOTED HIM IN FOR THE HALL OF FAME. PEACE SEGER AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC IN MY LIFE!!!
He's such a great! This song here not one of his hugest hits is an amazing lyrical journey! Bob is a Legend of Music!
"Ship Of Fools"
"Tell me quick" said Old McFee
"What's this all have to do with me?"
"I've spent all my time at sea a loner."
"Is there something else I should know?"
"Something hidden down below the level of your conversation?"
Well he turned away before the answer
Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear
It became to clear
So it went as we put out
I was left in constant doubt
Everything I asked about seemed private
The captain strolled the bridge one night
I stopped him in the evening light
To ask him would it be all right to join him
But he stood there like some idol
And he listened like some temple
And then he turned away
All along the fateful coast
We moved silent like a ghost
The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us
The wind came building from the cold northwest
And soon the waves began to crest
Crashing cross the forward deck
All hands lost
I alone survived the sinking
I alone possessed the tools
On that ship of fools
Rich Allen
Rich Allen w
Reminds me of my early twenties on my speed boat and my own ship of FOOLS
Shake the bottle
Rich Allen an American Classic....
Best song or movie named "Ship Of Fools" Hands down.
This is one of my favorite Albums of all time. When music was real. There is not much music. Anymore.
I remember when Bob first started and listening to night moves I was 17 years old and my brother in law telling me that Bob sieger is going to be famous,,, well he far surpassed that,,,,he's a legend

I was always a loner and a drifter much like his music reflected...Thank you for the great tunes........ Bob Seger
came of age to all his songs,especially NIGHT MOVES right on time BOB,thanks for the great memories.
Danced both of my baby boys to sleep with Night Moves, a sweet memory.
Same here
I always took it for granted that there was Bob Seger and every other performer who wished they were. Now in my 70's I realize that he never received all of the glory and fame I thought he had. There will never be another like him.
Remember first hearing this track when i briefly lived in Portland, OR. in some old dive bar! in late 90's! a quick flashback!
Had a captain like this when I was in the Coast Guard. Arrogant...and untouchable like some God. This song will always make me think of him.
Classic Bob Seger, thoughtful lyrics: The "ship of fools" is an allegory/ metaphor for any group of people without a good leader; oblivious to their surroundings, arguing amongst themselves, and clueless as to the destination of their journey. They, and all who travel with them are destined for shipwreck. Rock on forever, Bob Seger!
THE U S
I love this song
A deep and meaningful song. Whoever played those guitar licks is a genius.
That would Drew Abbott, the Silver Bullet Band's original guitarist. He didn't play on all of Seger's tracks but he did play on this one.
@@sonofren Thanks for the reply.
This is awesome!! Fell in love with this song way back when in the late 70's.....brought back great memories...
Maybe 29 years ago I heard this song and loved it. So glad I found it.

I first heard his music in 75 when I was 13, I am now 55 and he has been in my soul for all those years too.
I'm 17 and a big fan of Seger. Music is really timeless.
Always a awesome artist, was good back then, still good now.❤️👍💯
