First Time Hearing Bob Segar "Night Moves" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

When I first heard this song I was 20. Now I am 67. The song is about someone remembering what it was like to be young.

[@chipurBillWhite]

Ditto

[@jamomathews9890]

Ditto!

[@BeardedHobbyist]

I'm only 34 and was like aww I remember my 20s as well🤣. Barely but I remember them and Segar was apart of them!

[@kelvinkloud]

w/ autumn setting in (mid 40's)... he was a lot like cash or even frost.... wrote what on the surface seem relatively simple lyrics. yet symbolically laden w/ so much depth.

[@HeartOfHippie]

I was in high school, 10th grade when I first heard him and I was hooked

[@shaun374]

Best thing is the song meaning changes as you get older. Most of Seger's songs hit harder the older you get. Timeless music.

[@henrikpersson4698]

boy, tell me about it

[@jamespatton4992]

Takes me back to listening to this whole album in my sisters bedroom. Loved every song on it.

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

I hear that oh boy do I hear that

[@mzluna313]

My pops graduated from high school with Bob. Mr. Seger has the ability to paint such a vivid image with his lyrics, you'd swear he was singing one of your memories! Those teenage "night moves" - awesome memories!

[@cesarnarro6013]

Whenever i hear Down on Main Street I'm right there with Bob.

[@mycocorleone4771]

he ran track in 9th grade for my old high school. in Lincoln Park

[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

Yeahhhh no he didn't 😆

[@mycocorleone4771]

@@TheC.O.-VISIT he did though we had a picture of him in our halls 🤡

[@mycocorleone4771]

@@TheC.O.-VISIT In his song "Back in 72" he even says "We got homesick for lincoln park, Imagine that".

[@hmichaelr1]

Often complimented for his vocals, people seem to forget that he wrote and arranged his songs. What a talent!

[@marilyndurham738]

I listen to the music behind the lyrics on this one and am amazed every time at the talent behind the Voice!

[@smarleyjoe3569]

yep one of the best to put music to words and words to music.

[@garyphillips6270]

He did it all! Singer-Songwriter, Director, Producer, and obviously Performer. Knew how to arrange it all and reach deep into your soul to connect like you're looking back at your earlier years of your own life. Bob Seger is the best at it!

[@johnmcfarlane748]

genius

[@steveparisi4360]

I'm a 74 year old man from Australia and watch your video reactions which most are the sound tracks of my youth keep them coming please I enjoy them so much and your reactions bring a smile to my face cheers

[@dawnyoung8]

My favorite is the first reaction to the sixth sense movie . It was like watching it for the first time again .

[@littlebutohwow]

Saw him in 1977 at the Derby Eve Jam in Louisville KY. During the break in this song when there is a long pause, I jumped up and yelled “I LOVE YOU BOB SEGER!” It was very loud in that quiet hall and people cheered and when he got done with the song, he said “I love you too Louisville” and the crowd went crazy again! Best concert memory!!

[@michaelyork4554]

It's crazy because as a teenager when this came out, even though Bob was describing all that sexual tension, and being devil may care, we all felt it was more of a cautionary tale of "Autumn Closing In". It was strange to hear the song back then looking forward, and now at 60 with Autumn Arrived. The song is timeless. "Against The Wind" we run the race, we have to finish our course.

[@dbradx]

"Time is an ocean, but it ends at the shore"

[@kaymad]

True. I was 12 when this was popular and to me this song was more nostalgic than sexual, if that makes sense.

[@ricksurratt9034]

This song brings back so many memories it’s a wonderful thing about music. It looks different now than it did then.

[@conniep8616]

Beautifully put. Thank you for that. And both those songs bookended with Like A Rock, with those '20 years' becoming 40, then 50...they all truly go so fast.

[@GregIsAFan]

"Time moves slow when you're seventeen And then it picks up steam at twenty one Pretty soon you'll remember When you could remember when you loved someone" .....Jason Isbell, "Streetlights"

[@farangkenny7547]

For reference: Summertime is youthful years, "Autum's closing in" is later years as he ages, reflecting back.

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

Seger was part of the 60s Detroit sound, a vibrant, raw rock sound.

[@gdo3510]

Like a Rock 🛻

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Well 70's anyway. The 60's Detroit sound was Motown. That ain't Bob. Bob is more like the Ann Arbor club scene of the 1970's.

[@sparkymcplumpthepolydactyl2079]

Mick Jagger and Keith Richard’s loved Seger.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

One of THE most talented storytellers in the Industry.

[@mysterious7092]

Amen,like Bob Dylan The Hurricane .

[@glencranor9138]

My Mom was a Seger fan, she passed away at 89 years and she listened to his music every night before bed right up to her death.

[@garymaidman625]

I love how he changes the meaning of 'Night Moves', from a euphemism to a reflection of his carefree youth when he didn't have any responsibilities to now when he does. I absolutely adore this song.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Me too!!

[@mssnip69]

Seger is my all time favorite. Rock n roll never forgets is my favorite. When you describe classic rock, you can't without mentioning Bob Seger

[@davidbordonaro1631]

I agree on both !!!

[@estacadarocks3446]

I'd almost forgot " Rock n Roll Never Forgets. Thanks for jogging my memory.😎

[@calvinheadley5218]

Bog Seger is flat out, Motown Rock n Roll. No other way to describe it. There is no other sound even close to his legendary career.

[@maggynewtown3500]

What is wrong with you? Seger recorded on the Capitol label.

[@calvinheadley5218]

@@maggynewtown3500 yeah, I wasn't speaking about record labels. You do know that Motown refers to detorit, MI, right? Born on May 6, 1945 in Detroit and raised in Ann Arbor, Seger's interest in music was inspired by his father, who started his son's musical trajectory by teaching him to play the ukulele. Bob Segar, with regard to rock n roll, is the epitome of Motown music, not the label but the genre. Thanks for your reply.

[@adspur]

Bob is from that nevk of the woods.Detroit is a melting pot of music.

[@2869may]

Great reaction...! Great song...! Great artist...! "MAIN STREET" is another Great track...!

[@peterwalsh2470]

agree, another smooth soulful trip down Bob's memory lane. we probably all have our own version of main street.

[@Citizenesse8]

Absolutely. Must do Main Street.

[@phnigra111]

Yes, Gotta do Main Street!

[@edordzie244]

Absolutely!! The soulful, wailing guitar sets the tone of an opportunity lost.

[@2869may]

@@edordzie244 Well Said...!

[@ronparsons8786]

All time classic song. And yes it is about the literal Night Moves that the young folk working and practicing in the backseat and trusty woods... But it is also about looking back on your life and remembering those times. So the lines about Autumn closing in are also about a man approaching or in middle age looking back on those times when you just didn't seem to have as much to lose. Lines like that are what make Bob such a masterful storyteller in addition to the class A instrumental musicianship and performance. And soulful is a perfect word to describe his voice. Takes em to church at the end!

[@maryannturton9830]

Well said! No,Bob's not country,Bob is,well,he's Bob! Little rock,little soul,little storyteller,lots of kick ass!🎙👊

[@noenduringcity]

I love how he bridges those two times with "the sound of thunder."

Bob is a legend. love your reactions

[@rogeralanmartin]

GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME and as a 56 year old preacher, I cant even share it with my teen daughters.

[@brittywren2877]

I just love how it alludes to it without being too vulgar. It honestly just makes me think of hs summertime meeting my husband. Here we are 23 years later and certain songs or changing of the seasons still take me back to the first few summers. Great reaction Mr. Seger def has a unique way of painting a vivid pic and yanking you into it don't he? Lol

[@RudyMiller68]

I have "with autumn closing in" tattooed on my forearm... My Dad's favorite line of any Seger song and a great reminder of looking back nostalgically on your youth as you grow older

Bob has the art of telling multiple stories with one song. What might seem shallow at first is really deep. I remember the summer, but I’m loving the fall.

[@chantellecline6945]

Bob Seger has so many great songs out there. One of my favorites for sure.

[@prischm5462]

Bob Seeger nailed it with this song. He told us all about teenage love. It is undeniable what teenagers go through, not always to their benefit.

[@RitaBowen1]

Love me some Bob talk about memories. I have saw him about 10 times in concert in Charlotte NC man he never gets old. Turn the Page is my favorite right after this one.

[@cndngranma8436]

That was a great concert, brought back a lot of my teen memories, sitting in the woods sippin and singing with him. It was great times!!! Always brings back great summer times!!

Hes my favorite too...

[@pablozee6359]

As someone who can feel the autumn of my life closing in, this song really hits. And it is funny how you remember those times from your youth figuring out sex, relationships, and auditing in general. Great song.

[@DavidBrianPaley]

Many of us approaching "winter" still feel those same AMAZING things! That's why youth should never be wasted, or even taken for granted. It's youth that lays the foundation for who we become.

[@candilumpkin1196]

Man I love him. My mama had this on 8 track. Saw him in concert when I was 8. My first concert was ray Charles my grand daddy took me cuz he played bass fiddle for them that night. And then had a jam session. It was magical.

Not sure if you guys have done "Fire Lake" or "We've got tonight" but, they are both great songs also.

[@shirleydurr411]

The first time I heard this song was in the animated movie "American Pop" (1981 -- for adults, not children) and never ever forgot it. ("I remember, I remember.) It's about the rise (and fall) of a music idol. Have loved Bob Segar ever since. That piano gets to me every time I hear it and I start to play my air piano and chair dancing.

[@sandragray4598]

The nostalgia he expresses in the lyrics at the end of this song really tugs at my heart. The Autumn is closing in and he's wondering how far off the thunder was. Sounds sad.

[@recordhutch]

Went to one of his concerts back in the late 70's in Kansas City. Bob will drag you right into his song as he tells his story. Great artist, all his songs are great.

Bob Sewer is a true master of his craft...a great musician who is an incredible storyteller.

[@dennissaner2151]

For me this was a song of life. As a youngster finding out about love and loving. Being carefree and living life as fully as possible. When he sings about Autumn closing in it’s about getting older into our golden years and remembering what once was. When you’re old all we have are the sweet memories. And we smile to ourselves that our loving can not be forgotten because it’s deep in our hearts. Even now, near the end, it’s a wonder how the night moves.

[@pffp6246]

"And points all her own sittin' way up high...way up firm and high" LOL...possibly the most overlooked/underappreciated lyric in all of music!

[@alex35agm]

She was obviously very excited to see him.It's a fantastic subtle line.

[@solitarybee3714]

I'm always amazed at the way young people want to classify every song/singer into a specific "genre". Good songwriting comes from the heart, doesn't it? Kinda puts the technical stuff aside when inspiration enters the picture.

[@dannford-premiersothebysin9057]

He is singing about all of our teenage years and experiences!!!

[@brianl8481]

Most of us anyways. Some of us didn’t have those teenage experiences.

[@seanjohnson3920]

He can not only Story tell like no other, he at the same time can write something that takes us ALL back (personally), to our own pasts. I think that is what makes him so Universally Loved. He is the voice that lets us relieve OUR pasts on such a deep and emotional level once again. TY Bob ... ty for the memories.

[@bryanw3044]

Did you catch the double meaning of "night moves"? 1- teenage experimentation (1st part of the song) 2 - passing of time (2nd half of the song) I recommend ramblin man and against the wind
