Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Against The Wind (REACTION) with my wife

[@WoofHmmmmmmmm]

Seger often hits differently as you get older.

[@lynneg8874]

"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." Best line in music history and late in life. ❤

If I'm ever asked about favorite song lyrics, this one's always on my list! Struck me like lightning when I first heard it.

[@johnrogan9729]

You ain’t kidding either.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Why does everything in youtube comments have to be "best line in music history"? Or something along those lines. Can't it just be a great line without resorting to exaggerating?

[@laurakali6522]

An Incredible voice, songwriter, a kick-ass loyal band, and decades of hits = A much deserving One Way trip Into the Rockin Roll Hall of Fame.

[@GranpaMike]

When I was a young man, I loved this song for its musical qualities. Now that I'm an old man, I love it for its lyrics. If I live another 10 years, I'm sure I'll love it equally for both.

Unique American Artist…that can’t be imitated! Fantastic story teller…a movie in your thoughts! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸

[@robertfindley921]

Bob is the real deal. Great lyricist, great song writer, great storyteller, great musician, great vocalist. The sound of a generation.

[@tuffymoon3702]

The best part of being my age is that I have had at least 45 years years of listening to Bob Seger songs! Many of life's experiences are in those songs and this one took me back to high school, when the winds were mostly favorable. Thanks for the memories! ❤😊

[@robertwalker1803]

You two nailed it again with your reaction….true respect of a true legend.

[@spacecardinal]

This is my favorite Bob Seger song. I think you guys do a great job. You are both so charismatic, makes it fun to spend time with you! 😅

[@GinMae]

Thanks, guys! such a beautiful song... Bob Seger has so many evocative compositions... appreciate all of your reactions (and also your deep analysis of some of the lyrics and themes!)... Of course, I look forward to more from you...

[@kpiperjr]

"It sucks to be old" ... no truer words have ever been spoken!

[@martinellis7156]

The piano on this track just moves it up another notch - I don't know who plays it, but the mixed feelings that it evokes of regret and nostalgia is really beautiful.

[@KyleS.1987]

I just looked it up myself. Paul Harris played piano and organ on this track. He passed away October of last year at the age of 78.

[@allenhuling598]

@@KyleS.1987 Thanks for that info, Kyle, he played it beautifully!

[@IAMCAVE]

The keyboard also put a great melancholy mood to the song.

[@johnrogan9729]

This song is monumentally important to me. Thank you for such a nice reaction to this wonderful song.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

So many iconic lines in this song. "What to leave in .... What to leave out ...." Hard reality as you age.

[@dannymoore6886]

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then is the greatest line ever written.

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤❤ FAMOUS FINAL SCENE by Bob Seger...I sing it occasionally at karaoke. I told my husband that when i pass on, I'd only want him to have a party at home, with our friends, with a nice bonfire, and plenty of beer, and if this isn't on the playlist, I AIN'T GOING ! 🤣

[@colingoode3702]

Love Bob &, as many others have commented, his music & hits more as you get older. Another great reaction you two lovely people.

[@SaverioP]

Love this song. It's along the same lines as Night Moves, Bob was great at writing introspective look back songs.

[@cdmann]

Been waiting a long...long time to hear your reactions to one of my favorite Bob Seger songs. Once again you guys are SPOT ON! Guess that's why your the BEST! 😁❤❤✌️

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you 😊

[@kaafromoz]

A perfect song for the youth we all had and decisions that we made in that time of our lives. So many paths that we take, some lead us forward some make us turn around and start again. For myself I was fortunate to meet and marry the one love of my life and between us we found the right path for us to travel together..Love like you 2 have is beautiful and to share your journey of music with you both is a pleasure I am happy about. TY for sharing your journey and the clear love you have, it makes me smile to see others like myself deeply and truly in love with each other and music. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵

Many thanks 💚

"You're never gonna win with time" So true Dominika.

[@bartjopling4886]

" I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" is one of the best sentences written in rock history! Actually this song has many of the best lyrics written in rock, Plus youth is wasted on the young!

Bob Seger is fantastic,,,,,Top 8. 💥💥💥🤘😎

[@OriginalLictre]

I've always felt that the lyric "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" is referring to the loss of innocence that comes when you find out that the people you thought were your friends reveal that they wouldn't come to help you when you needed help, or that they would desert you once the party ended. You didn't know they couldn't be relied on, and it hurt when you had that knowledge shoved in your face. Or in the case of Janey, how she swore that their relationship wouldn't end.

[@hackermusic3355]

Great song. I could relate to it when it came out and I was just at the stage of seeking shelter.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

He is my favorite singer Bob Seger has a song for every mood you might be in. Thanks for sharing glad you like him too❣️ My husband’s grandmother always said it’s no fun getting old.

[@Straydogger]

My brother was 10 years older than me and always told me "Whatever you do brother, don't get old." Now at 72, I wish I would have listened to him. 😞

So many great songs by Bob Seger still to be experienced! 😊 One of his best story songs you haven't done yet is "Mainstreet". Or, for some live music, try "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser" from the "Live Bullet" album. Anything you choose, you can't go wrong with Bob! 👍

[@debneuweiler9867]

You guys nailed it..that song and album was released 44 yrs ago and it is still true to this day I think?

[@jimfrederick3907]

Bob Seger's storytelling is like watching a 3-D movie in your head. He is one of dozens of storytellers from that era!

If the wind represents life's challenges, running against it represents that these challenges are getting in the way of our happiness and we resent that. Then, running with the wind would represent that we accept the challenges of life without naming them good, or bad, they are as natural to our existence as breathing. All The Best!

"The Wayward Wind" (1955-56) sung by Gogi Grant hit No 1 on both the Cash Box charts and the Billboard charts, remaining No. 1 for 5-6 weeks on both, getting kicked off the perch by Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel". You'll be glad you heard "The Wayward Wind" by Gogi Grant as opposed to one of the several covers.
