Bob Seger - Against the Wind Reaction/Review

[@raymondlong3024]

This man could dig into your soul, tell your story in his song, then you were there, one of my favorite artists ever

[@paulkestler5244]

The ballad of everyone's life summed up impeccably.

[@DanceswithArmadillos2024]

Bob Segar paints a picture with words.

[@stephanietipton4324]

The fantastic thing about Bob Seger's music,it literally fits and describes EVERYONE'S life.Its what brings us all together by making us realize we are all more alike than we can ever realize.While difference seems great,the ways we are alike are so much more

[@flarican64]

Yes, well said... I am older now and still running...against the wind...

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

It's weird that Bob didn't like that lyric ... go figure

[@davidhunter801]

That line is definitely one I relate to, and the reason was a young woman.

[@Lsr000]

The same reaction i also got as i heard it for the first time 👍🏻

[@kbalmostheaven7296]

As a recovering addict, that verse reminds me of my life in addiction. I found myself alone, surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends. That’s exactly how it was, the rest of this verse was my life, running with other junkies.

[@watchbizmatik]

Wow thanks for sharing fam. BLESS UP.

[@kbalmostheaven7296]

@@watchbizmatik thanks, I just found you, I love it. Hey if you want to hear a heavy song, Lynyrd Skynyrd the new band, with Johnny Van Zant singing. The 1991 album the song’s called ”It’s a killer”. It’s all about the crack lifestyle. ✌️❤️

[@reginaldwestbrooks7253]

Bless you

[@itzel1735]

First listen and you caught Bob’s best line ever. “Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then” He always puts his heart out there in all his songs.

[@GinMae]

Yeah - and in "Night Moves" - the lines about "I woke last night to the sound of thunder.... how far off I sat and wondered... (and going on...)

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

@@GinMae We could play this game all night. As there is at least one in almost every Seger song. From Roll Me Away: “I too am lost, I feel double-crossed And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right”

[@GinMae]

@@ms.chuckfu1088 I've heard it said the Bob Seger is the midwest version of Bruce Springsteen - but actually, I think Bob has more musical flexibility and lyrical depth -- maybe that 's cuz I'm a mid-westerner?

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

@@GinMae There are people in both camps. Obvi, I’m in the Seger camp. (Including my avatar pic, which is Bob pre facial hair) The two singers met in 78. And were friends by the time Bob was working on this album, and Springsteen was working on ‘The River’. Both were in LA, and apparently hung out after hours chatting about the records and offering advice and encouragement. Nice story.

[@rockinresurrection6542]

@@GinMae I think Seger is better but I love both of them. To me these two are the most talented men still alive

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Yes sir, you run it back. It hits home, doesn’t it? It describes my life too, especially my teens and 20s.

[@Carrietbean]

"Don't watch if you don't want to". There. That's it. ❤

Exactly ❤

[@beeseewill2407]

Bob knows how to tell a story the right way.You can't help but get drawn in.Great singer .Brilliant production.

[@isabelsilva62023]

I was 17 (1980) when I first heard this, can't tell you how much I appreciate your reaction, Bob can still "reach" people guessing he always will. What a lovely way to break down his words!

[@Werebare]

Seger is still my life long favorite, thank you. I welcome any of his songs you care to review!

[@odinspromise]

When I was a teenager listening to these tunes, they were cool, great music. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 60 and these great old tunes take on brand new meaning...Peace.

[@tanya4025]

Awkie👍.. His SHAME ON THE MOON, OLD TIME ROCK & ROLL and LIKE A ROCK; come on, lets watch these again with you✌😉

[@frankzappa5169]

You got it,This song hits like a ton of bricks.Im so glad you got the "wish i didnt know" part.Ive seen so many reactors miss it.Seen him do it live twice,once in 1981 and again in 2019.Ive heard it a thousand times and im ready for another 1000

[@nateberridge7650]

Seger's finest moment in my opinion. Doesn't matter your story this song hits you like a ton of bricks. Bob Seger always wrote about the common man. I think that's why so many people can relate.

[@mamabear9325]

True story. 😢❤

[@edwardkodai1319]

He's one of my favorites. Glad you liked it.

[@sherrelwilson7354]

Has always been my favorite Seger song...makes me emotional every time and although my childhood was nothin but turmoil, it makes me homesick for my youth...gettin old sucks😔

[@mattshaw6180]

"Can I run it back?" Heck yeah, sometimes you just have to. Great reaction! I agree with the earlier comment that you need to spin "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser" from his live album next.

[@watchbizmatik]

🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@odinspromise]

Bob Seger was my inspiration as a singer in my youth. When I grew older, I got with a friend and we formed a band. We were popular as road house bands went and we had a lot of good times. But I always got the same old comment..."You sound a lot like Bob Seger" As I look back now decades later, I was being paid a compliment. Thank you Mr. Seger. You gave me direction. And thank you Mr. Biz, for bringing back memories I didn't even know I had forgotten. peace

[@tomtrahan8485]

"Breaking all of the rules that we bent".... an exceptional songwriter and story teller. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@glennvanzandt3011]

Keep doing your thang. I love your authenticity. This is one of the best songs ever. Great singer and song writer. He's one of the best to ever do it.

[@bdp1966]

Mine too.

Pure Raw talent and brilliant songwriting, a well deserved addition to the R&R Hall of Fame. God truly broke the mold when he made Bob Seger.

One of my favorite seger songs it has so much meaning to it great song

[@go234ko96ts5]

A great songwriter and what a voice, this is probably in my top 3 songs by the great Bob Segar, my all time favorite NIGHT MOVES. BOB started his journey way back in 1968 with the breakout classic RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN' MAN.

[@martink3804]

Songs & poetry that tell such fundamental stories. We probably all identify in some ways. I enjoy watching you enjoy this trip. Yes, "I feel you".

[@geobol7603]

Bob Segar had a lot of big commercial hits, and this was one of them. While so many of his songs had extremely catchy melodies and phrasing, what makes him really stand out from other commercial acts is the incredible poetry in his lyrics.

[@teresacartwright5406]

My favourite song of his is "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll"- like the music the lyrics reference, this song never gets old.

[@BlairandGeorgie]

The piano is so beautiful! ❤

[@jimshauger6991]

Once again, loved your reaction. Bob Seger is, in my opinion, one of the best American songwriters! Very underrated! And, he's from Detroit. I think you can here a lot of "Motown" R&B in his vocals. I'm definitely proud to be from Michigan, with its musical history.

[@BOOMNERD51]

Love the lyrics and soaring piano.

[@randallmccoy8581]

Glad you caught that.."wish i didn't know now what I didn't know then". Now that's quite a line...even after all these years.

[@stellapacker9182]

Real music! Ahhh the good old days but the music is timeless!!

[@jameslong1644]

Bob's music has been passed down from father to son for decades his music hit's you hard because it's true and sometimes you don't know how to tell your sons what you know so you let Bob step in and explain it.

[@susanlindner8626]

Bob Seger's Old Time Rock and Roll... one of the best songs written.

[@drakeswarchannel2530]

Dominae sancta! Great reaction dude.

[@timfloyd4324]

That one has always been one of my favorites from him. I know everyone has said this, that is like my life. That's what makes Bob Seger's music so good. He will always be one I will listen, for road music.

[@whamptonr]

This song hits so hard and true. It’s so close to me that I have always said I wish he had written one more verse so I would know what’s coming next.

[@miguelosuna1401]

Hollywood Nights is another classic.

[@PeaceandQuiet12345]

indeed

[@meganparsons9106]

By the way - at the end of the song the background singers Against the Wind - that is the Eagles .

[@jennhurl]

Bob is so cool... smooth! You can't go down the Segar rabbit hole without "Old Time Rock & Roll". No sure if you ever saw the movie "Risky Business" with Tom Cruise but it's the song he slides across the floor in his socks, underwear, & a button up shirt with a candle stick in his hand singing this. It's an iconic moment in film. "Old Time Rock & Roll" was so perfect for that scene. ✌❤🎵

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

Love this song! I bought this album when it first came out and nearly wore it out playing it over and over again. The entire album is fantastic. Check out Fire Lake, You'll Accompany Me, Horizontal Bop, Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight, and Her Strut, to name a few from this album. Great reaction. We can see that you really feel his music and lyrics.

You did a great job, congrats, because i love this song too, we are all related to it. 🤗🤗🤗🍷🍷

Check out Like A Rock. It was part of a Chevy truck commercial, and was thus dismissed, but it is a very intense song. You'll love it,.. I guarantee it. Keep in reacting. This is your non-black 72 year old friend from Lake Superior's south shore.
