    • @lindaharbison9567
      @lindaharbison9567 Год назад +5

      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.

      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.

    • @marlamays2131
      @marlamays2131 Год назад

      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

    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.

    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 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 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.

  • @lesatseaside
    @lesatseaside 13 лет назад +1

    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!
