71, cancer survivor, lost a kidney to cancer again, heart surgery, and now stage 5 kidney disease. Raised 2 beautiful strong independent young women, helped with 5 grandkids, and now have 5 great grandchildren. They are all my Rocks.....as I hope they think I am theirs!
@@stevepouillon3562 Steve ...never give up...thats not our job. My dad ....a WWW2 vet from artillery and a paraplegic in 76 taught me that lesson. Like Bob Segar said..Like a Rock...never give up till your ready. I'm in my 70's with heart failure and I refuse to give up till the end. Not my job!!. Do your thing Steve!
Everyone's fantasy about their youth. But one of the great lines in a song; '20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years now I don't know'; that is everyone's truth.
In twelve years I’ve lost three brothers. Two to lung cancer and one to Covid. I’m now alone the last man standing I guess you could say. Life is lonely without them but my God and savior helps me get through it. With hope and faith I will be with them again.
God bless you, sorry for your loss of loved ones I'm there as well wish peace for you . Just know we will see our loved ones on the other side .when we pass
My father, the old Army Master Sergeant, passed away in March 2020 at the age of 89. We saw eye-to-eye on virtually nothing. But he was rock and taught me and my brothers how to be men…how to be accountable, responsible and take of our families. Lessons for life. When I listen to this song, I hear a tribute to the old Master Sergeant.
I know exactly what you're talking about, my father, a retired Sergeant Major of 24 years is 80 years old & still to this day a hard core, mean as a snake, don't take no shit of a man, I learned so much from him, he has dementia now, God I love him, he's a good man, just like yours👍✌️
I'm 69, cancer survivor this past year, still doing construction work to make ends meet and help the kids. I sat by my 90 year old Dad's bedside in my house when he died after we had cared for him for five years. I didn't realize what a rock he had been and how much his life had influenced me even though he was old school Navy and I was a '60's hippie and we never saw eye to eye even to the end. We were two rocks, side by side. Thanks, Dad.
I buried my dad today. An 83 year old Command Sergeant Major who did 2 tours in Vietnam. He died a frail, shell of the almost Superhuman I remember as a kid. This song seems to personify him in my mind. I listen to it and think of him. So long dad, I will see you on the other side.
Almost 73 now . . Marine Vietnam vet and this song holds so true, . . where did 50+ years go . . I don't know . . gone like a blur. Still have to stand straight and tall and hold my values like a rock. I hope I'll be seen as that rock to my children and grandchildren, and I hope they'll be that rock for generations to come.
I can't put it better. He blows Springsteen away. Maybe it's because of my Midwestern upbringing. I grew up in Ohio and listened to the Michael Stanley Band, Seger and so many others. Seger is a master songwriter. He tells a story like few others in any kind of music.
موسیقی و زمان و همه چیز های خوب برای انسان در دهه هفتاد و هشتاد و برای شما بود انسان هایی که معنای زندگی واقعی را در هنر شناختند ..ما در این زمان دچار پوچی حتی در هنر شدیم
Hello. I'm thinking in a larger sense, we don't other musicians to emulate those that have gone before them. We already have the best and the classic versions of artists. Bob is at the top of the list. IMO peace out in 2024
I’m 77 ,did 2 tour in Nam ,breath death 3 times that I know of but still here and doing what I can with 1arm 1leg but u do what u gota do .Icalled being a MAN
Good question; horrid childhood, missed opportunities, jail time, still scrabbling dreaming about better times. Wish I stood like a rock. I was a sandstone washed out to sea. I dream of standing like a rock, one day
I just turned 66 three weeks ago. My hair is grey and thinning and yeah I'm a bit tired and worn. But damnit there was a time when I was like a rock. And I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have at least once be like that.
At 58 years old now I know that I'm a shadow of the man I was in my 20s, 30s and 40s and looking back at the things I used to do listening to the song brings a tear to my eye. To the young man out there savor every moment of your strength and your youth because it all fades away too soon.
Dude, that statement makes you the rock that you are. It's called being a man. In this day youngers need some leadership into manhood. Keep that going.
I lost my dad yesterday morning. I held his hand as he took his last breath. When I drove home, this was the first song I listened to as a memorial to him. He stood arrow straight while others around him wavered. Stand proud, stand tall, dad. WDK 1944-2020
Lost my dad to ms Christmas Day 2015, which was a catch 22 (those who watched a loved one with something like ms or cancer knows) remember him every time I hear any song off the night moves album.
I'm a US NAVY Female veteran with PTSD. I'm struggling to survive but I'll never surrender to despair. I was a teenager when he released this song. It's an inspiring song the US needs now more than ever!
@@jackdeth2558 Thank you sir. I appreciate your father's service. He walked the walk so I could sleep safely in my bed every night. Much 💕 to you and your family
Thank you for your service... I get it ..there will be no white flag above your door, when we suffer from PTSD, we ? Where is our ROCK? PTSD pushes us to places we don't want to recall, it's not the memories that we wanted to create , but are a result from what's been given to us, we can't bury it, we swish it away, we wish it would wash away, so many will try to drink it or drug it away, sadly it just doesn't leave us, at times it gets the best of us & pushes us into a different culture of GREY, but hopefully you won't let it get you too far discouraged, just doing things differently will get you moving along a awesome path, starting with a new thing you find each day.. have hope, let the joys flood you w new , happier, better experiences, to keep the burdens of PTSD away... For TODAY, this moment "Like a ROCK" for you I PRAY.........
I get a lump in my throat and my eyes well up with tears whenever I hear or listen to this great song. I was once a young man, I joined the army, seen combat, got married, had kids, lost good friends, lost family members, etc. Now I'm a broken and old man, twisting the throttle of life and smiling at the memories this song brings. ***EDIT*** October 9th, 2021**** Wow! I love you all! The care and compassion complete strangers has been absolutely mind-blowing! I guess my original comment above may have come across as if I was at he end of my rope, road and life, and only now I see how easily that post I made raised concern amongst some of you. Sorry if it came across as depressing, but I never intended it to be that way. I guess I got caught up in the moment of strolling through memories. You guys/gals/people rock! \m/ This is the caliber of people Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band creates!
Sounds like you had (and still have!) one hell of a life! Be proud of your history and life experience, they made you the man you are today. For what it’s worth, I am humbled and moved by your words... I wish you all the best and hope you will have many more memories to remember in the future. Cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🍻
A few years ago I attended the funeral of a veteran police officer slain in the line of duty. A young lady from his family sang this haunting song and, at the end, added an extra verse in honor of the departed. There wasn't a dry eye to be seen. This was the additional stanza. "Each time I pinned my badge on, This mantra I would say: 'If life offers you battle, don't ever run away. When the Devil stalks the righteous, You stand fast in his way, Like a rock.' Like a rock." May the Lord watch over and protect the men and women of that Thin Blue Line who daily risk all to watch over us.
My mother called me yesterday in tears after listening to this song. Nearly 20 years ago I stood tall and proud with my right hand up swearing an oath to our nation. Some where after that time she watched me fall to my knees weak and crippled by pain from war and lost in the darkness of mental health. Today I have a beautiful son of my own and stood up strong like a rock. The impact songs can have are amazing
Stay strong brother. My burden is paralysis on my left side, shuffling around with a cane like " a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas." We keep our sanity by remembering better times, when we were princes of the earth, fearless and resolute. Though extremely bittersweet, these recollections remind me of who I was...and at heart, who I still am.
Steven James sorry you are in so much pain, am sending light and love your way. Keep listening this is some of the best rock and roll around. It also helps the pain I have in body and mind. Listen every morning it starts me and my day off better. Hang in there and keep battling, you must be a very strong person
When your life is great and you have happiness you listen to the music. But when you are in a dark place you listen to the words. That is what music is for.
I love this song. I'm battling alcoholism and kidney disease now at 51. As long as I have air in my lungs, I will keep pushing forward. Thanks for this song Bob. Amen
My father struggled with alcoholism since he was 17. He died over 30 years sober in July of 2022. I have no doubt you can get sober if it's really what you want! You can do this.
I love everything he sings. I'm a cancer survivor but when I was going through chemotherapy treatments I was listening to Bob. Thnx for getting me through the hardest time in my life.
This song reminds me of my husband. We met at 15. He joined the army just before his 17th birthday. We married a week later. “We” served 34 years in the military and HE is still something to see! After 53 years of marriage he still makes my heart beat fast and we are so happy.
The last 4 years I’ve had 3 big surgeries for cancer and now I’ve just finished 8 belts of radio therapy I’m still standing and happy to be here 🤘55 year old male
I worked at Andersen Windows for 35 and a half years. Then my joints told me if I was going on another job. They were not going to come with!! I’m very happy that you are still waking up on the green side of the grass. You have all the possibilities in the world. When you wake up on the dirt side of the grass your possibilities are over! I will keep you in my prayers! And congratulations on never giving up! My hats off to you Sir!! Stay strong and be blessed!!
Weirdest thing about this song. As a young man in my 20s I remember hearing this and it spoke wisdom to my soul. Now, I'm 58 with grown kids and a grandchild and those words "20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years, I don't know" have almost been doubled and this song speaks to me as an old man.
Thanx......What's that make me? An "older old man"? I'm 5 years older than you are buddy. Pull your foot out of that grave for a second and listen up......60 is the new 40. Deal with it or die, it's up to you. It's better to live a lie than to die for truth. I don't have any kids but I've got all my hair and for all practical purposes I'm a 43 year old man who retired early and receives SSI every month like clock work. I'm currently hooking up with a 34 year old chic and since nearly all of my friends have died already, there is very little chance I will be exposed as the fraud that I am. Pretty sweet deal wouldn't you say?
Wow I totally understand I'm 30 years old been listening to this song as long as I can remember going to continue to listen to it till the day I pass you're exactly right God bless Bob Seger and yourself shit God bless to all!!
Well it’s January 1st, 2022, still listening to Bob Seger. I’m 69 and he never gets old to me either. He just like fine wine. He’s aged well. Love me some Seger!!!!!
I know exactly what You mean Diana.I'm 62 now will be 63 in June.Loved listening to His Songs since the first one I can remember,I think it was Against The Wind or Old Time Rock and Roll,two of My Favorites.You could play theses Songs at my Funeral,celebration of life and it would put a smile on my face.Like I've told my Family and Friends if You don't Like Bob Seger Songs you couldn't be a Friend of mine.
I feel the same way.im 68 but in my mind I'm still 22 and still love Bob's music. They just put my son in prison last week so it's been a rough week but listening to great music and seeing the heartfelt reactions of all you people make life much more bearable. MUSIC
Me too my father passed in December 1st 2023😢, and I had to listen to this song, because when I was nine years old my father told me that if something ever happened to me and I leave this earth listen to this song and remember me, so I played this song for his memorial after the funeral 🙏🙏🙏R.I.P Dad
I'm 48 years old and I've dealt with so many trials, tribulations, loss, pain, loneliness, depression and failed in life so many times. Yet, I've picked myself up each time. When I hear this song I think of my mom and my dad. They both lost their battle with cancer. They were brave and solid as a rock. They both faced death and accepted their fate. I recognized how strong they were and that in itself makes my problems look so small.
God bless you sweetie. Your Papa sounds like he was amazing. Great taste in music. Wonderful grandson. Served his country well. They don't make music like they used to. They don't make many Papas like they used to. Cherish the memories 💓
I lost my wife of 27 years, 8 years ago this month. She loved this song and I made sure it was played at her celebration of life, not a dry eye there, 275 people. I still get choked up every time I hear this
My dad died in November of 2023. He used to tell me when I was little to listen to this song when he was gone. I come back to this every now and then when I need my dad. Fuck cancer
My son is still in his mid twenty's. Shared this with him years ago and he was just overwhelmed. Loved it! I wish I could be young with him. He's my best friend and my hero. He's done more and seen more in his short life than I have at 60. Be strong son. Dad loves you.
Dad was 42 when I was born. He was 49 when my sister came along. He took up jogging so he could stay in good shape.He was tough, almost super human. He was tough on me growing up, and I resented that. I ashamed of the way I used to feel. I know he meant well now. I was 39 when he passed away, that was 21 years ago. He was strong and tough like a rock. He was almost 81 I miss him a lot. I could go on but I won't. You'll realize what you had when you don't.
My dad and I were best friends. I miss him daily as we spoke every day on my way home from work. Think of him every time I get to that turn where I would call him. Happy Father's Day Pop.
@@guitarsoundsaround Still kicking the can down the road at "84", Listen to Bobs' music most every evening before lights out. His music can make one feel young again.
This song still gives me the chills after 36 years. I was in my 20s when it came out and i wondered how it would be to be 'old'. Now that i'm 58 i appreciate it more than ever...
I hear Ya Patty!!! I'm 64, been a Bob Seger Fan for at least 50 years or the first time that I heard Against The Wind or Like A Rock.These Are my two Favorite Bob Seger Songs and always will be Amen.If I live to be 80-90 years old I will Always be a Bob Seger Fan.It just don't get any Better than this.
Me and my friends, lived most of our teenage years during the 80's, here, in the mountains of southern West Virginia, and we were like rocks, hair down to our shoulder's, steel in our eyes. Took no crap from anyone, your buddies always had your back, did'nt have to ask. Now, in 2020, I'm 55, half bald, don't see so well and short a few good buddies, who have went on to the other side. I tear up listening to this song, it takes me back for a little while, to a time when we thought we wre going to live forever, and acted like it. Sweet times and fond memories. Be excellent to each other people, we are all we got. Later.
I still live the old days thru my memories and my old f 100 and my old Harley. Thank you Bob. This song will be played at my wake. Not celebration of life, wake.
i'm a 12 year old girl and i absolutely love Bob Seger and listen to his songs almost everyday my dad always says i have an old soul and i guess i do Edit: I would like to say thank you for all the sweet comments! I’ve never felt this special ☺️
You got a good head start, Ashia. I didn't pick up on his music until 14 when Night Moves hit the charts back in 1976. He's made a ton of great music since. If you haven't listened to his older albums, it's well worth the time.
My grandpa’s absolute favorite song and is the perfect definition of what he meant to me and so many others. I will listen to it on our birthday every year until I die. I love you old man ❤
You know it. Try listing to Journey, Tom Petty, Eagles, Kansas Carry on my way word son, Boston so many more so little time. Make the time there's nothing like a good song taking you back to that special place and time. The smile that comes to your face is nothing like the warmth that comes through your heart. If we could live like it was in the good ole days 60's and the 70's coming full circle.
No, those songs are great, but not the same! I sit her on my porch, listening to this, and I realize how much I put in, and how long will I wait for the payoff!
I hear this song I think, 1. Chevy commercial when I was a kid. 2. Riding with my dad listening to Seger. Haven’t listened to this song since then but wow… listening to the lyrics have a lot more meaning I never paid attention to as a child
Summer of ‘86; I was 15 years old; first girlfriend; first part-time job; first beer; one of the greatest summers of my life. Felt like I could conquer the world after listening to this one (still do); definitely one for the ages.
I grew up in the ‘90’s, so for me this was always the song for Chevy commercials. My Dad drove a Chevy Silverado. I lost him in 2013. Mom followed him earlier this year. When I hear this song, it makes me think of the man my dad was. A man I took for granted as a child. If you are blessed enough to still have your parents in your life, cherish them. They are only here for a little while.
I was fortunate enough to see him twice (I know, some of you have probably seen him much more than that). The first time I saw him, my wife was pregnant with our son, and it was the first time I ever felt him move inside her. To this day, he loves Bob. Coincidence?
My favorite Bob Seger song. When this song first came out my mom played it over and over and over again. She use to say “you have to feel the words…..” I was, of course the young kid on the other side of the tracks and didn’t understand what she meant. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤣🤣 you know, just Momma talking nonsense. She was a single mother who raised three kids on her own. We were grown and she was just done, she was sick. She had not been diagnosed yet but she had Pulmonary Fibrosis. I started supporting us when I was just nineteen years old. She died when I was just 31. It’s been twenty years this year. I was at work on the anniversary of her death and this song came on my phone and I broke down and cried when the first line came on “Twenty years where’d they go?…….” And I ugly cried. For a while. It was the first time I had cried like that over my mom in a while. One of those deep, sobbing, can’t catch your breath kind of cries. I guess I needed to cry like that. I was under a lot of stress and my heart was broken at the time. I had just lost my baby brother just over a year earlier to Covid, and my older brother had just been diagnosed with colon cancer, and my dad is in bad shape. My life is a country song. 😂😂 I guess me ugly crying is exactly what I needed at the time. My love of music, and Bob Seger, comes from my Momma. I miss her terrible, some days more than others. Today is one of those days when I miss her more than yesterday. So, I listen to her song. ❤❤❤
That was beautiful, you don't fully realize the Depth of the Lyrics till you are moving towards the opposite side of the tracks. Your Mom lives eternally inside your heart & soul..💕

Most of us have seen our fathers as this imposing figure who embodied all the traits Bob S sings about. Many of us have said our last good byes to that father who still resides in our memories. Injuries and sickness took their toll. Now it is our turn to move from autumn into the winter season. Thank you to Bob and the Silver Bullet Band for the many years of music that spoke to our hearts and souls.
I saw Bob in 1986 at the Spectrum in Philly with my oldest daughter Katie for her 7th birthday. We lost her on Mother's Day 1999 when I eulogized her life it was about she was my rock. That 7th birthday seeing Bob together was the most special night of my life. Thank you Bob.
So sorry, 2017 concert was the best night ever for me too. RIP to my mom who was a huge Seger fan. We’ll always have the songs and the memories of the smiles buddy. God bless. ❤️
I'me 84 now, still hanging in. Three careers behind me, soldier, teacher, novelist (25 books). And yeah, I'm pretty decrepit now, but there was a time when I too stood like a rock.
Brings me back to my youth 41 years ago, when I was in Boot Camp and then out in the Fleet in the United States Navy, 🇺🇸 when I was young, and strong, and didn’t have the cares that I have now. Some good memories flashback when I hear this song!
They played this song at my great uncles funeral, couldn't have have picked a better song to describe a man. Bob Seger is a legend and will never be forgotten!
Man can I relate ! My daddy was the strongest, proudest, he man that I have ever seen! He served in the U.S. Army ‘54-‘56. He was that man that Bob is singing about. I played this for him, just me and him alone, in ‘05. I saw that far away look in his eyes as he listened. He was not one to show emotions, very much, but I think the song connected the way I had hoped it would. My dad passed away from numerous health problems, in ‘09. Every time I hear this song I think of my daddy. I always did even from the first time.
This Awesome Song is always one of the first Songs that I think of when I think about My Dad.He and My Mom passed away 25 years ago just two weeks apart.God wanted them to come to Heaven Together.
My Dad is 66 today, unfortunately it's a heavenly birthday, I lost my Rock 7 years ago in September. I still struggle everyday. Happy Birthday Dad, I miss you xxx
My husband and I got married when I was18(and pregnant) and he was20. We had the most amazing marriage until cancer took him from me 13 yrs ago. This song always brings to tears because it reminds me of our many wonderful years together when we both were healthy and enjoyed life. I have not remarried. But whenever I hear this song I feel as if Bob wrote this for and about my husband. The lyrics describe my husband so closely it's uncanny. He had the looks of ZZTop and the meanest looking biker-types would make room for us to pass when they saw us coming but he was a real teddy bear unless you would mess with his family. (No one ever did,lol). I will never find another like him: a real man's man yet one who babies would call Santa Claus, much to the dismay of the parents. When I had a memorial for him one year after his death, men he hadn't worked with for 30 years came to pay their respects and to let me know he was the only white boy who could play real basketball in Indiana. Thank you Bob for making a song that is so emotionally close to the best years of my life. I know I will see him again. I still dream about him every night after all these years!!
74, will start radiotherapy for my fourth case of cancer soon, lost a kidney, part of my tongue, part of my lower jaw, and I've had a stroke. Today was the first time I heard this song. Tears...
Bob Seger is a legend and his music still stands today head and shoulders above what's out there today and that slide steel guy is soooo awesome even in 20 21 what a fabulous song
There is no songs today that match up with the classics if the eighties and half of nineties. After that decade it was all down hill with music except for the country western classics. No one can even come close to them also. Songs today so not tell a story, they only keep repeating the same words over and over as if the song writer got stuck writing new words . And today , from the end if the nineties ii seem like the same tunes and some one is trying to put words to the same Melody. Can any of them come up with new melodies and maybe put a story to the tune. What happened to the excellent song writers if yesterday??????
For those of us of a certain age, this is the song we wish we would have / could have written. Thank you, Bob, for everything, and most especially making all of us remember what it felt like to feel like a rock.
If I had to listen to one artist for the rest of my life it would be Bob Seger. He explains the meaning of life through music. Genius! **Edit** Pat on the back to Rick Vito, the lickety-split, gunslinging lead slide guitarist. Absolute legend!
Soo True.Without a doubt He is definitely My Favorite Rock Singer.I could easily live the rest of my life just listening to Bob Seger and Waylon Jennings Greatest Hits.
63 here, I wouldn't be 18 again. Every single year has gotten better. This song makes my heart sing. We were so lucky to have the music we had back then.
I am 85 now and his voice and lyrics literally bring tears to my eyes(as I type these comments) his .I feel a stab in my chest listening to him. Experiences of a life are encapsulated in his words and unique one of a kind voice. I know he is gone as is my youth. But with his songs it was a pretty good ride. Night moves,like a rock,against the wind , as an old biker "roll me away" against the wind L P
I played this song at my dad's funeral. Of course, everyone judged me for not playing I guess gospel but this was my dad's favorite song .I can still hear him singing every word. It describes him perfect!
You did that for your father. The comments of some sweep under the rug. Do not allow the negative response from some to cloud the thought of why you played what you played with that one special gift you played in honor of your father is special time that he was able to share with you while he was here. There has always been ugly comments by some that's apart of life. Try not to let it upset you they win by upsetting you. When you least expect it some where in the future you will hear that song, and some where deep past your heart there will be a smile that is felt in your soul that no one can fill it your rock. Your father is still with you just at a greater distance.
50 years now where did they go
Exactly, at age 38 or 20 yrs. past 18 I was still a rock. At 73 I'm beginning to see glimpses of the end, 55 yrs. where did they go?
The years go so quick
They went under our footsteps as our tomorrow’s became today’s and our today’s became yesterday’s…
Only 46 years since for me; I'm still a youngster.🤣
@@JosephDowling-i9bwho knows. I'm about to be 52 but feel 22 sometimes. Time slips by so quickly.
One of the best guitar solos ever!!!
From Mussel Shoals AL
Yes indeed it was!!!❤
Love, love love this song. Everything about it. Lyrics, music and guitar solo. Comes together like pure ❤majic
Totally agree. Badassery
I would say THEE best slide solo hands down
71, cancer survivor, lost a kidney to cancer again, heart surgery, and now stage 5 kidney disease. Raised 2 beautiful strong independent young women, helped with 5 grandkids, and now have 5 great grandchildren. They are all my Rocks.....as I hope they think I am theirs!
You are!
Bless you sweetie 🥰👍
Fight
Keep rocking granny you are not alone ❤
@@stevepouillon3562 Steve ...never give up...thats not our job. My dad ....a WWW2 vet from artillery and a paraplegic in 76 taught me that lesson. Like Bob Segar said..Like a Rock...never give up till your ready. I'm in my 70's with heart failure and I refuse to give up till the end. Not my job!!. Do your thing Steve!
Everyone's fantasy about their youth. But one of the great lines in a song; '20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years now I don't know'; that is everyone's truth.
60 plus years for me. :)
How "bout 40 yrs now
Ìm 77 now..starting to be more like a pebble. My mind is still a rock but my body is betraying me
I'm 80 and still think about the best year of my life. Then Life caught up with me and taught me what life is all about
I an 82 and it is 64years, where did it go, I don't know. It has been a long and winding road.
Will be 59 next month, have lost 2 husband's to Cancer and not only kept my house on 5 acres but raised 8 successful kid's here. Like a Rock.
God Bless You
Amen.
In twelve years I’ve lost three brothers. Two to lung cancer and one to Covid. I’m now alone the last man standing I guess you could say. Life is lonely without them but my God and savior helps me get through it. With hope and faith I will be with them again.
Rock on mama ❤
God bless you, sorry for your loss of loved ones I'm there as well wish peace for you . Just know we will see our loved ones on the other side .when we pass
My father, the old Army Master Sergeant, passed away in March 2020 at the age of 89. We saw eye-to-eye on virtually nothing. But he was rock and taught me and my brothers how to be men…how to be accountable, responsible and take of our families. Lessons for life. When I listen to this song, I hear a tribute to the old Master Sergeant.
Mine was R C A F. Canadian taught me too. I'm his daughter. I'm learning to stand for 🇨🇦💯❤️. A little help from Bob too..always with ❤️
Good Men!!❤
....You are bless to know your father....
My Dad was a drill instructor in the Army..learned early not to ask why...love this song
I know exactly what you're talking about, my father, a retired Sergeant Major of 24 years is 80 years old & still to this day a hard core, mean as a snake, don't take no shit of a man, I learned so much from him, he has dementia now, God I love him, he's a good man, just like yours👍✌️
I'm 69, cancer survivor this past year, still doing construction work to make ends meet and help the kids. I sat by my 90 year old Dad's bedside in my house when he died after we had cared for him for five years. I didn't realize what a rock he had been and how much his life had influenced me even though he was old school Navy and I was a '60's hippie and we never saw eye to eye even to the end. We were two rocks, side by side. Thanks, Dad.
so sad omg.......i hoop you are strong enof now and better healthy life......i send you much hugs
DAMN... what do I say?....keep being you 👍
Keep on the good fight 👍
Your dad was one of a kind. Like a rock
Crying about your dad and your cancer on the internet is definitely not like a rock, dude.
A true anthem for those of us who survived what life threw at us...
❤
Life goes so fast!!
we got this
Amen, thanks for creating and sharing this moment with the world Bob. Saw you live once, you're still amazing. Amazing voice and performance!
No one survives life. We all end up dead some day.
I buried my dad today. An 83 year old Command Sergeant Major who did 2 tours in Vietnam. He died a frail, shell of the almost Superhuman I remember as a kid. This song seems to personify him in my mind. I listen to it and think of him. So long dad, I will see you on the other side.
I tip my helmet to that proud, brave, and honorable Vietnam vet. Carry on, CSM, carry on.
Im sorry for your loss. Keep his memory alive and he is with you always. I thank him for his service to this Great Country.
Semper fi & semper fortis Tom Cpl USMC RVN CDR USNR
My condolences to you and your family
"You have some Big shoes to fill"💙
My lovely Dad will be cremated tomorrow. When I hear Bob sing I see Dad as he was in his prime. He was my rock and I'll love him forever 💔
Such a lovely tribute peace to you
God bless you and your family
Prayers 🙏🏻
I just lost my mom last Sunday to stage 4 cancer and dementia this song hits home in so many ways cherish every moment merry Christmas everyone
Almost 73 now . . Marine Vietnam vet and this song holds so true, . . where did 50+ years go . . I don't know . . gone like a blur. Still have to stand straight and tall and hold my values like a rock. I hope I'll be seen as that rock to my children and grandchildren, and I hope they'll be that rock for generations to come.

I think Bob Seger might be the most underappreciated singer/songwriter of all time.
He's a legend,amazing.
He sure is one great singer
The brilliant Bob seger
Meeeeee tooooooo
Another legend love love love his tunes
I can't put it better. He blows Springsteen away.
Maybe it's because of my Midwestern upbringing. I grew up in Ohio and listened to the Michael Stanley Band, Seger and so many others.
Seger is a master songwriter. He tells a story like few others in any kind of music.
The older I get the more I love this song 😢❤
Me too! ❤️
And me too
me too
hey did you ever live in Texas
Same here!
I'm 72 and still listening to Bob Seger. I have always enjoyed his music and always will. There are no comparable artists these days, unfortunately.
موسیقی و زمان و همه چیز های خوب برای انسان در دهه هفتاد و هشتاد و برای شما بود انسان هایی که معنای زندگی واقعی را در هنر شناختند ..ما در این زمان دچار پوچی حتی در هنر شدیم
Agreed Mike
no argument here. 67 year old
He's timeless like the Eagles
Hello. I'm thinking in a larger sense, we don't other musicians to emulate those that have gone before them. We already have the best and the classic versions of artists. Bob is at the top of the list. IMO peace out in 2024
I’m 77 ,did 2 tour in Nam ,breath death 3 times that I know of but still here and doing what I can with 1arm 1leg but u do what u gota do .Icalled being a MAN
Thank you for your service
❤ right on!
I WAS A TEENAGER IN THE 70'S LISTENING TO BOB. NOW IM 65 WHERE DID TIME GO RAISED 3 KIDS RETIRED MAN DO I MISS MY FRIENDS AND MY YOUTH❤
same age same boat
Amen..
I feel like you .man 50 years where'd they go.past the half way point. Life's short make it count
IT"s all about how you think.Your as young as your mind let"s you be.
Good question; horrid childhood, missed opportunities, jail time, still scrabbling dreaming about better times. Wish I stood like a rock. I was a sandstone washed out to sea. I dream of standing like a rock, one day
I just turned 66 three weeks ago. My hair is grey and thinning and yeah I'm a bit tired and worn. But damnit there was a time when I was like a rock. And I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have at least once be like that.
I bet your still like a rock bud.
You're still a rock
I was just thinking about those years,,,l am going on 72 and still kicking Ass and taking names
God Bless You
01:12 just shy of 75 and I remember when throwing 80lb hay bales up 3 levels onto the truck was nothing and no one messed with me. Like a Rock.
At 58 years old now I know that I'm a shadow of the man I was in my 20s, 30s and 40s and looking back at the things I used to do listening to the song brings a tear to my eye. To the young man out there savor every moment of your strength and your youth because it all fades away too soon.
Agree the lyrics hit more as we grow older
Amen brother
Well said.
Be proud of yourself. 👍🙏🏻👨⚕️❤👩⚕️
Dude, that statement makes you the rock that you are. It's called being a man. In this day youngers need some leadership into manhood. Keep that going.
I lost my dad yesterday morning. I held his hand as he took his last breath. When I drove home, this was the first song I listened to as a memorial to him. He stood arrow straight while others around him wavered. Stand proud, stand tall, dad. WDK 1944-2020
❤🙏🤘
What an Honorable way to remember Your Dad.May God bless You.
I feel your pain I lost my dad too, my best friend, my mentor. 🙏
Sending you love and feeling so many memories of all of our lives.
♥️
Lost my dad to ms Christmas Day 2015, which was a catch 22 (those who watched a loved one with something like ms or cancer knows) remember him every time I hear any song off the night moves album.
A severe stroke is slowly taking my wife of 40 years . This song brings back so many memories and emotions. Truly beautiful.
I am 72 years old, and I understand, all my close friends are dead. It does not get any easier.
I'm a US NAVY Female veteran with PTSD. I'm struggling to survive but I'll never surrender to despair. I was a teenager when he released this song. It's an inspiring song the US needs now more than ever!
your comment gave me a cold chill, now thinking about my father. I wish you the best and appreciate and respect whatever it is you did.
Your existence and service are how I live and raise my family.
Thank you. I am so grateful.
@@Jo-fy2fc it was my honor to serve and defend the greatest nation and it's people
@@jackdeth2558 Thank you sir. I appreciate your father's service. He walked the walk so I could sleep safely in my bed every night. Much 💕 to you and your family
Thank you for your service... I get it ..there will be no white flag above your door, when we suffer from PTSD, we ? Where is our ROCK? PTSD pushes us to places we don't want to recall, it's not the memories that we wanted to create , but are a result from what's been given to us, we can't bury it, we swish it away, we wish it would wash away, so many will try to drink it or drug it away, sadly it just doesn't leave us, at times it gets the best of us & pushes us into a different culture of GREY, but hopefully you won't let it get you too far discouraged, just doing things differently will get you moving along a awesome path, starting with a new thing you find each day.. have hope, let the joys flood you w new , happier, better experiences, to keep the burdens of PTSD away... For TODAY, this moment "Like a ROCK" for you I PRAY.........
I get a lump in my throat and my eyes well up with tears whenever I hear or listen to this great song. I was once a young man, I joined the army, seen combat, got married, had kids, lost good friends, lost family members, etc. Now I'm a broken and old man, twisting the throttle of life and smiling at the memories this song brings.
***EDIT*** October 9th, 2021****
Wow! I love you all! The care and compassion complete strangers has been absolutely mind-blowing! I guess my original comment above may have come across as if I was at he end of my rope, road and life, and only now I see how easily that post I made raised concern amongst some of you. Sorry if it came across as depressing, but I never intended it to be that way. I guess I got caught up in the moment of strolling through memories. You guys/gals/people rock! \m/ This is the caliber of people Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band creates!
Sounds like you had (and still have!) one hell of a life! Be proud of your history and life experience, they made you the man you are today. For what it’s worth, I am humbled and moved by your words... I wish you all the best and hope you will have many more memories to remember in the future. Cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🍻
@@tenshiba249 Thank you! :)
You are my father! He’s long gone but this is why this song reminds me of him. You are still “ Like a rock “. Good day sir.
@@cindyhardy915 Thank you Cindy
I still believed in my dreams,when they came true they all didn't go together
A few years ago I attended the funeral of a veteran police officer slain in the line of duty. A young lady from his family sang this haunting song and, at the end, added an extra verse in honor of the departed. There wasn't a dry eye to be seen. This was the additional stanza.
"Each time I pinned my badge on,
This mantra I would say:
'If life offers you battle, don't ever run away.
When the Devil stalks the righteous,
You stand fast in his way,
Like a rock.' Like a rock."
May the Lord watch over and protect the men and women of that Thin Blue Line who daily risk all to watch over us.
amen
A beautiful tribute - thank you ever so much for your servide.
Amen 🙏 Praise Jesus
The extra verse gave me extra chills. Beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
One of the BEST pieces of music ever written and recorded!
He sure is 💘❤️💞

I am 67 years old , and now I have cancer. When I listen to this song , I feel great because i remember my youth. Thank you…..
Bless you brother. Hang in there.
I’m 67 got through cancer this song made me decide I hadn’t already lived my best day ! Hang in there!! Be praying for ya !
❤it !!!!!!!!!!
God be with you. I pray that the Lord will help you through this time.
Stay strong brother. You can win this fight. Keep that chin up. I did it you can too.
My mother called me yesterday in tears after listening to this song. Nearly 20 years ago I stood tall and proud with my right hand up swearing an oath to our nation. Some where after that time she watched me fall to my knees weak and crippled by pain from war and lost in the darkness of mental health. Today I have a beautiful son of my own and stood up strong like a rock. The impact songs can have are amazing
you hang in ther my brother ! thank you for your service!
Welcome home and Thank You for all of your sacrifices for us. God Bless You and Your family.
Thanks so much for your service 🙏 ❤️
Love this tune so so much... Also "In your time" x
god bless buddy
Seven years battling cancer, recovering from surgery.....I needed to hear this again tonight fighting off the pain! Rejoice oh young man in thy youth.
Keep fighting!
Don't give up buddy. 🙂👍
Stay strong brother. My burden is paralysis on my left side, shuffling around with a cane like " a pair of ragged claws
scuttling across the floors of silent seas." We keep our sanity by remembering better times, when we were princes of the earth, fearless and resolute. Though extremely bittersweet, these recollections remind me of who I was...and at heart, who I still am.
You are now in my prayers from Patrick
Steven James sorry you are in so much pain, am sending light and love your way. Keep listening this is some of the best rock and roll around. It also helps the pain I have in body and mind. Listen every morning it starts me and my day off better. Hang in there and keep battling, you must be a very strong person
When your life is great and you have happiness you listen to the music. But when you are in a dark place you listen to the words. That is what music is for.
Amen to that!
Yes I agree with that
I love this song. I'm battling alcoholism and kidney disease now at 51. As long as I have air in my lungs, I will keep pushing forward. Thanks for this song Bob. Amen
Yahuah bless you. I pray Yahusha places his healing hands on you and brings you peace. Aman.
diagnosed KD at 13 first Kidney gone at 15. been fighting it 56 yrs. don't give up on life. booze and or pain pills are your enemy. good luck to you.
Thanks to both. I needed that.
My father struggled with alcoholism since he was 17. He died over 30 years sober in July of 2022. I have no doubt you can get sober if it's really what you want! You can do this.
Keep going!
I love everything he sings. I'm a cancer survivor but when I was going through chemotherapy treatments I was listening to Bob. Thnx for getting me through the hardest time in my life.
We're glad you're here
@@christopherandersen2511 Why thanks that's a nice thing to say ❤
We are all with you best wishes my friend.
Hi Kat💐💐
This song reminds me of my husband. We met at 15. He joined the army just before his 17th birthday. We married a week later. “We” served 34 years in the military and HE is still something to see! After 53 years of marriage he still makes my heart beat fast and we are so happy.
Congratulations! Working on 40 with my catch 😎
Thank You Both for your long Service to Our Country and Congratulations on Your Long Happy Life Together.
That's beautiful. I thank you both for your service to our country
@@melvinlewallen7796 Congratulations on your long happy marriage. The years seem to pass way too fast, but enjoy each of them as precious gifts. ❤️
THANK you for standing by your husband as he was keeping us safe. And thank you sir for your service
The last 4 years I’ve had 3 big surgeries for cancer and now I’ve just finished 8 belts of radio therapy I’m still standing and happy to be here 🤘55 year old male
I worked at Andersen Windows for 35 and a half years. Then my joints told me if I was going on another job. They were not going to come with!!
I’m very happy that you are still waking up on the green side of the grass. You have all the possibilities in the world.
When you wake up on the dirt side of the grass your possibilities are over! I will keep you in my prayers! And congratulations on never giving up! My hats off to you Sir!! Stay strong and be blessed!!
Weirdest thing about this song. As a young man in my 20s I remember hearing this and it spoke wisdom to my soul. Now, I'm 58 with grown kids and a grandchild and those words "20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years, I don't know" have almost been doubled and this song speaks to me as an old man.
Well put rexbpiano !
Same here..i play that verse over and over
I always considered it one of the "late" Bob Seger songs lol jesus that song came out 34 years ago.
Same age same thing but I'm no fuckin od man my heart stays 20
Thanx......What's that make me? An "older old man"? I'm 5 years older than you are buddy. Pull your foot out of that grave for a second and listen up......60 is the new 40. Deal with it or die, it's up to you. It's better to live a lie than to die for truth. I don't have any kids but I've got all my hair and for all practical purposes I'm a 43 year old man who retired early and receives SSI every month like clock work. I'm currently hooking up with a 34 year old chic and since nearly all of my friends have died already, there is very little chance I will be exposed as the fraud that I am. Pretty sweet deal wouldn't you say?
The older you get the more this song makes sense. If you are young, enjoy that ride while it lasts!!
It is similar to a Neil Diamond song "nothing but a heartache." Slightly different word meanings and a great bass laid down by the drummer.
Wow I totally understand I'm 30 years old been listening to this song as long as I can remember going to continue to listen to it till the day I pass you're exactly right God bless Bob Seger and yourself shit God bless to all!!
60 and STILL enjoying the ride....
Amen to that, I can relate. 1975
Seems like yesterday... Lenny with his Grand Torino and me with the old Plymouth Fury. Tapedeck in the glove box; tearing around town.
Not a care.
Well it’s January 1st, 2022, still listening to Bob Seger. I’m 69 and he never gets old to me either.
He just like fine wine. He’s aged well. Love me some Seger!!!!!
I know exactly what You mean Diana.I'm 62 now will be 63 in June.Loved listening to His Songs since the first one I can remember,I think it was Against The Wind or Old Time Rock and Roll,two of My Favorites.You could play theses Songs at my Funeral,celebration of life and it would put a smile on my face.Like I've told my Family and Friends if You don't Like Bob Seger Songs you couldn't be a Friend of mine.
So true
I feel the same way.im 68 but in my mind I'm still 22 and still love Bob's music. They just put my son in prison last week so it's been a rough week but listening to great music and seeing the heartfelt reactions of all you people make life much more bearable. MUSIC
He's the great storyteller
Me too! Timeless music, I’m 67 and still never gets old to listen to Seger!
Here I am thinking of my Dad this was his funeral song.I miss you Dad RIP Dad
MAY He R.I.P
Me too my father passed in December 1st 2023😢, and I had to listen to this song, because when I was nine years old my father told me that if something ever happened to me and I leave this earth listen to this song and remember me, so I played this song for his memorial after the funeral 🙏🙏🙏R.I.P Dad
And may your father R.I.P too, sorry for your loss
I am 80 will be 81 next Mon never get tired of Bob Seger's Music .The BEST EVER still GOOD.
his music is timeless
Happy Birthday 👍
Right with ya. I just turned 81 this December. Still love Bob Seger's music.
Hello, how are you doing?
God bless. You should go on tour wIth The Stones!
I'm 48 years old and I've dealt with so many trials, tribulations, loss, pain, loneliness, depression and failed in life so many times. Yet, I've picked myself up each time. When I hear this song I think of my mom and my dad. They both lost their battle with cancer. They were brave and solid as a rock. They both faced death and accepted their fate. I recognized how strong they were and that in itself makes my problems look so small.
Amen, no words could give more love and honor to those we love.
It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you get up. Good work my brother. Stay Strong.@@robincardosa780

My condolences to you and family Micheal I think he's singing ...listening this song with us.....grettings from Santiago Chile
I lost my wife of 27 years, 8 years ago this month. She loved this song and I made sure it was played at her celebration of life, not a dry eye there, 275 people. I still get choked up every time I hear this
My dad died in November of 2023. He used to tell me when I was little to listen to this song when he was gone. I come back to this every now and then when I need my dad. Fuck cancer
I am an old guy, Was on my top in the 80's, still missed this one. But this says it all. Your dad was doing the right thing. Respect!
There's a cure.. B17.. BASSARDS took it off the market
Shout out to all us older folk that survived our younger years. It’s been a journey…
heres to yu my fellow old timer.
Id do it all over again pushing 62
Still
here @-78 like a rock
❤
My son is still in his mid twenty's. Shared this with him years ago and he was just overwhelmed. Loved it! I wish I could be young with him. He's my best friend and my hero. He's done more and seen more in his short life than I have at 60. Be strong son. Dad loves you.
A true hero you are sir!!!! My son is 33…. Yes indeed…. This song is our anthem!
Mine as well. Great to have hero kids
Totally AWESOME
My son is also in his mid-twenties. At 57, I, too, wish I could be young with my son. I think he's already a better man than I ever was.
HAPPY FOR YOU TWO, I JUST HAD MY 25 YRO SON'S FUNERAL JAN 9th.
I RAISED ALL 4 OF MY CHILDREN ON THE MUSIC OF 70'S & 80'S, THEY JUST LOVED IT
Dad was 42 when I was born. He was 49 when my sister came along. He took up jogging so he could stay in good shape.He was tough, almost super human. He was tough on me growing up, and I resented that. I ashamed of the way I used to feel. I know he meant well now. I was 39 when he passed away, that was 21 years ago. He was strong and tough like a rock. He was almost 81 I miss him a lot. I could go on but I won't. You'll realize what you had when you don't.
Beautiful
My dad and I were best friends. I miss him daily as we spoke every day on my way home from work. Think of him every time I get to that turn where I would call him. Happy Father's Day Pop.
I'm 73 and "Like a Rock" still resonates with me
75 here, fuckin A
My dad was my rock, AND I married a man like my dad. How Blessed I am.
good for you❤

Me and my friends, lived most of our teenage years during the 80's, here, in the mountains of southern West Virginia, and we were like rocks, hair down to our shoulder's, steel in our eyes. Took no crap from anyone, your buddies always had your back, did'nt have to ask. Now, in 2020, I'm 55, half bald, don't see so well and short a few good buddies, who have went on to the other side. I tear up listening to this song, it takes me back for a little while, to a time when we thought we wre going to live forever, and acted like it. Sweet times and fond memories. Be excellent to each other people, we are all we got. Later.
You guys rock!
You were loving the "program" bud, hair or not, see it thru, we all we got!
Well said!
Amen!
Nice....
Lost my dad in 2010 I'm 37 years old I still miss him miss you dad

I still live the old days thru my memories and my old f 100 and my old Harley. Thank you Bob. This song will be played at my wake. Not celebration of life, wake.

There are only TWO groups of people in this world.
Those who love Bob Seger music (and)
Those who never heard his music
soul
Don't forget the folks who have no idea who Bob Seger is, but still have this song living rent-free in their heads thanks to Chevy commercials.
I love His Music😊
You know something buddy? You are right! Teehee! 👍🙋♀
i'm a 12 year old girl and i absolutely love Bob Seger and listen to his songs almost everyday my dad always says i have an old soul and i guess i do
Edit: I would like to say thank you for all the sweet comments! I’ve never felt this special ☺️
Lovely Ashla old soul young heart keep listening bab it’s the best music ever
God bless you Ashla, there is hope for our younger generations.
You got a good head start, Ashia. I didn't pick up on his music until 14 when Night Moves hit the charts back in 1976. He's made a ton of great music since. If you haven't listened to his older albums, it's well worth the time.
You have great taste! ❤️
There ain’t nothing wrong with a old soul
Truly an incredible song. Hits hard, but will only hit harder the older I get.
This song was used in the actually good Chevy commercials! ;)
That's truth, brother
Yes
Yeah....
yep 65 here, moto rider, tennis guy, marathoner,,,, etc...this guy kicks ass. looking back is hard
My grandpa’s absolute favorite song and is the perfect definition of what he meant to me and so many others. I will listen to it on our birthday every year until I die. I love you old man ❤
A song for all of us lucky enough to still be here,this was our lives....
Lucky indeed💗
22 years old and i still always come to the classics. Nothing can top them and im glad i was raised with this kind of music
You know it. Try listing to Journey, Tom Petty, Eagles, Kansas Carry on my way word son, Boston so many more so little time. Make the time there's nothing like a good song taking you back to that special place and time. The smile that comes to your face is nothing like the warmth that comes through your heart. If we could live like it was in the good ole days 60's and the 70's coming full circle.
No, those songs are great, but not the same! I sit her on my porch, listening to this, and I realize how much I put in, and how long will I wait for the payoff!
You sure have awesome parents❤❤.
Me too 👍❤️

I hear this song I think, 1. Chevy commercial when I was a kid. 2. Riding with my dad listening to Seger. Haven’t listened to this song since then but wow… listening to the lyrics have a lot more meaning I never paid attention to as a child
Summer of ‘86; I was 15 years old; first girlfriend; first part-time job; first beer; one of the greatest summers of my life. Felt like I could conquer the world after listening to this one (still do); definitely one for the ages.
Indeed! You have a way with words. My best wishes to you for years to come.
Yes one of Seger s best you have many 1st yet to conquer. U will play this at 50 n 60 too
May the lord walk beside you in your battle.
Same

I grew up in the ‘90’s, so for me this was always the song for Chevy commercials.
My Dad drove a Chevy Silverado.
I lost him in 2013. Mom followed him earlier this year.
When I hear this song, it makes me think of the man my dad was. A man I took for granted as a child.
If you are blessed enough to still have your parents in your life, cherish them. They are only here for a little while.
Rip to your father...this song is why i have a Silverado to this very day only truck I'll ever own

Amazing amount of time Amen to that I can do whatever I want everyone to do is believe it Amen 🙏🌄🙏🌄
MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE MORE THAN ONCE
❤
I don't believe he has ever done a bad song , one of the best entertainers of all time
I agree 100%. Bob Seger is truly one of the best American entertainers of the last 40-50 years.
I also love "shakedown, takedown, you're busted" that he did for the movie "Beverly Hills Cop II"
There will never be another Bob Seger he sang from his heart not his wallet
I was fortunate enough to see him twice (I know, some of you have probably seen him much more than that). The first time I saw him, my wife was pregnant with our son, and it was the first time I ever felt him move inside her. To this day, he loves Bob. Coincidence?

Bob Seger at 20, 40 or 70 years old STILL outperforms most acts today!! LOVE YOU BOB! Thanks for being the soundtrack to my life!
Bob turns 75 this year, and he still has the same passion for his occupation as he did when this video was done.
Thanks
Best ever
Well said!!
His music brings back so many memories. It makes me want to get another Harley and ride. Nevermind where, I'll know when I get there.
My favorite Bob Seger song. When this song first came out my mom played it over and over and over again. She use to say “you have to feel the words…..” I was, of course the young kid on the other side of the tracks and didn’t understand what she meant. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤣🤣 you know, just Momma talking nonsense. She was a single mother who raised three kids on her own. We were grown and she was just done, she was sick. She had not been diagnosed yet but she had Pulmonary Fibrosis. I started supporting us when I was just nineteen years old. She died when I was just 31. It’s been twenty years this year. I was at work on the anniversary of her death and this song came on my phone and I broke down and cried when the first line came on “Twenty years where’d they go?…….” And I ugly cried. For a while. It was the first time I had cried like that over my mom in a while. One of those deep, sobbing, can’t catch your breath kind of cries. I guess I needed to cry like that. I was under a lot of stress and my heart was broken at the time. I had just lost my baby brother just over a year earlier to Covid, and my older brother had just been diagnosed with colon cancer, and my dad is in bad shape. My life is a country song. 😂😂 I guess me ugly crying is exactly what I needed at the time. My love of music, and Bob Seger, comes from my Momma. I miss her terrible, some days more than others. Today is one of those days when I miss her more than yesterday. So, I listen to her song. ❤❤❤
That was beautiful, you don't fully realize the Depth of the Lyrics till you are moving towards the opposite side of the tracks. Your Mom lives eternally inside your heart & soul..💕
Sometimes you just have to do that, no shame there. After that good cry you probably took a deep breath and carried on strong. You're only human.
83 years old . Still my favorite. I saw one of his concerts. Brings back memories

If you're a certain age this will bring tears to your eyes.
You know it
Indeed it will...
I'm only 29 and I tear up listening to this. We'll see how I handle it through the years....
Harrison Whitney I totally understand, we were all 18 once.
I am 28 and this made me tear up
I grew up listening to Bob 17yrs.,of age I'm 65 and still listening to him his music never gets old to me
Amen Seger Rocks
12 and 55. Bob was my dad's favorite. This song reminds me of him so much.
His songs are like an anthem of our lives.
@@robc.5745Just thinking the same thing. I could match my life to many of his songs. Really weird but at the same time cool. 😅❤
Same here 66 yrs. Old now..😎🙏
I'm a cancer survivor and I'm like a Rock Thank you God and Bob Seger
❤
This song is like an anthem for every man in America.
Dead on Joe.
arms men, the demon who stands for you against you know who, the omen, the beauty in the beast against the gods,
Especially the hard working man in America
Absolutely goddamn right to the men of this generation take back what's rightfully yours and rejoice in your youth as it won't come around again.
Also me in manila riding my 200cc honda
This is the perfect example of a song I didn’t understand when I was young.....I’m 48 and I know now.... and it brings a tear to my eye.
I'm 48 too, and I know exactly what you're talking about.
yeah try 65...this song is a mans anthem....we do the best we can
64 here. This one, and Against the Wind.
Hey nostalgiajim ,,,the beauty of youth and certainty ,,,what bliss !!!!
52 years..17 year navy veteran....i feel ya brother.
This man was an old soul in his youth and ahead of his time...still timeless.
The epitome of old soul. Most of his songs talk about how time changes us. The fact he did them when he was young is extraordinary
Labels,.... he is SO BEYOND labels.....yet still you label him. WTF?????????????????????
Well said!
WHAT CAN YOU ABOUT ELVIS, HE WAS WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME
KING OF ROCK AN ROLL, AND HE HAS A KIND SOUL. WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM ,HE JUST GOT TIRED OF LIFE. TILL WE MEAN AGAIN XOXO
I dedicate this song to my big brother. He was the rock in our family and my best friend. I owe my love of classic rock to him. Rest in peace Robbie.
❤
Most of us have seen our fathers as this imposing figure who embodied all the traits Bob S sings about. Many of us have said our last good byes to that father who still resides in our memories. Injuries and sickness took their toll. Now it is our turn to move from autumn into the winter season. Thank you to Bob and the Silver Bullet Band for the many years of music that spoke to our hearts and souls.
Nicely said !
You have a gift with words.
So true, I miss my dad so much. The bravest man I've ever known.
@@ramalama9030 Thank you.!
@@rodneygrau6015 Thank you!
I saw Bob in 1986 at the Spectrum in Philly with my oldest daughter Katie for her 7th birthday. We lost her on Mother's Day 1999 when I eulogized her life it was about she was my rock. That 7th birthday seeing Bob together was the most special night of my life. Thank you Bob.
I’m so sorry 😢, NOBODY should ever have to bury their baby, she sounds like she was awesome
I am very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain. There is nothing I can say that would mitigate the heartbreak, I can only wish you peace.
So sorry man.
You poor soul. You’re incredibly strong. I can’t say that I would’ve lived through such a traumatic event.
So sorry, 2017 concert was the best night ever for me too. RIP to my mom who was a huge Seger fan. We’ll always have the songs and the memories of the smiles buddy. God bless. ❤️
I'm 81 and remember my younger years. This brings back a lot of memories. I thought I'd never get old but I know I don't have many years left.
76 here...things are starting to give out...spine & heart. We're all living on borrowed time. Sometimes wonder if 2023 will be my last year.
Yes We Are Definitely Getting Closer
@@stevesnow5461 Nope! Your still young 🥰
as long as we keep listining.@@christimecarmona6810
I'me 84 now, still hanging in. Three careers behind me, soldier, teacher, novelist (25 books).
And yeah, I'm pretty decrepit now, but there was a time when I too stood like a rock.
Brings me back to my youth 41 years ago, when I was in Boot Camp and then out in the Fleet in the United States Navy, 🇺🇸 when I was young, and strong, and didn’t have the cares that I have now.
Some good memories flashback when I hear this song!
This was my dad's song. He passed to Heaven 22 yrs ago today July 22, 2002. In memory of "Fast Freddie"! I miss and love you Dad!!! ❤
They played this song at my great uncles funeral, couldn't have have picked a better song to describe a man. Bob Seger is a legend and will never be forgotten!
As long as there's Fans like You and Me and Millions more This Legend will like on for as long as We keep listening.👍👍👍
That's what I want Beautiful Loser Amen
😮
They just don't make music like this anymore.
i has been a while since anyone made this music...studios want little girls music to sell to the 14 year olds....wtvr
I agree
They do make music like this still but it’s not mainstream, you gotta look to the blues artists now for real music
You had to have talent back then.
False, it's all shit now.
I’m a 70 year old man living with kidney cancer, but I still love Bob Seager. Rick Vito’s guitar solo is outstanding.
Man can I relate ! My daddy was the strongest, proudest, he man that I have ever seen! He served in the U.S. Army ‘54-‘56. He was that man that Bob is singing about. I played this for him, just me and him alone, in ‘05. I saw that far away look in his eyes as he listened. He was not one to show emotions, very much, but I think the song connected the way I had hoped it would. My dad passed away from numerous health problems, in ‘09. Every time I hear this song I think of my daddy. I always did even from the first time.
When men were men
This Awesome Song is always one of the first Songs that I think of when I think about My Dad.He and My Mom passed away 25 years ago just two weeks apart.God wanted them to come to Heaven Together.
God Bless You
Beautiful
My Dad is 66 today, unfortunately it's a heavenly birthday, I lost my Rock 7 years ago in September. I still struggle everyday. Happy Birthday Dad, I miss you xxx
MAY He R.I.P
My husband and I got married when I was18(and pregnant) and he was20. We had the most amazing marriage until cancer took him from me 13 yrs ago. This song always brings to tears because it reminds me of our many wonderful years together when we both were healthy and enjoyed life. I have not remarried. But whenever I hear this song I feel as if Bob wrote this for and about my husband. The lyrics describe my husband so closely it's uncanny. He had the looks of ZZTop and the meanest looking biker-types would make room for us to pass when they saw us coming but he was a real teddy bear unless you would mess with his family. (No one ever did,lol). I will never find another like him: a real man's man yet one who babies would call Santa Claus, much to the dismay of the parents. When I had a memorial for him one year after his death, men he hadn't worked with for 30 years came to pay their respects and to let me know he was the only white boy who could play real basketball in Indiana. Thank you Bob for making a song that is so emotionally close to the best years of my life. I know I will see him again. I still dream about him every night after all these years!!
Sorry Mam
Sending High Thoughts to you.
How Beautiful….. You were very blessed to actually experience what most of us are still searching for. ❤
@@KM-nq7ez
thank you. Yes I know I was fortunate. I only wish I had had him longer. We had so much left to live. But I am happy with what I did have.
I'm 89 years old, and music is the only thing to bring memories alive, and make new ones.
74, will start radiotherapy for my fourth case of cancer soon, lost a kidney, part of my tongue, part of my lower jaw, and I've had a stroke. Today was the first time I heard this song. Tears...
Prayers! 🙏🏻
Long, long after Taylor Swift, Beiber, Beyonce and countless others there will still be BOB SEGER standing tall. Like a rock! Rest well Alto Reed.🕇
You got that RIGHT!!!
Bob Seger is a legend and his music still stands today head and shoulders above what's out there today and that slide steel guy is soooo awesome even in 20 21 what a fabulous song
Loved this Song the first time that I heard it and Always Will.Just don't make Songs like this Anymore.Bob's A Living Legend.
There is no songs today that match up with the classics if the eighties and half of nineties. After that decade it was all down hill with music except for the country western classics. No one can even come close to them also. Songs today so not tell a story, they only keep repeating the same words over and over as if the song writer got stuck writing new words . And today , from the end if the nineties ii seem like the same tunes and some one is trying to put words to the same Melody. Can any of them come up with new melodies and maybe put a story to the tune. What happened to the excellent song writers if yesterday??????
For those of us of a certain age, this is the song we wish we would have / could have written. Thank you, Bob, for everything, and most especially making all of us remember what it felt like to feel like a rock.
Yep. 64.
@Bobsegarmusic. If that's really you, Bob, there's no need to thank me. All the thanks to you!
What A Feeling It Was
@Bobsegarmusic. You, Brother Bob have the greatest voice of all time, thank you for blessing me with it all my life
73. What a ride it has been.
If I had to listen to one artist for the rest of my life it would be Bob Seger. He explains the meaning of life through music. Genius!
**Edit**
Pat on the back to Rick Vito, the lickety-split, gunslinging lead slide guitarist. Absolute legend!
IT'S the meaning behind this song
I agree 100% !!! He definitely writes and sings about real life, his music always makes me feel better!!!🥰💜
Lunga vita ad un cantante artista di questo calibro ,se non abitassi dall’altra parte del mondo andrei a conoscerla
Soo True.Without a doubt He is definitely My Favorite Rock Singer.I could easily live the rest of my life just listening to Bob Seger and Waylon Jennings Greatest Hits.
Didn’t he sing Against the wind ?
All that's required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing!!
I'm 38 and I have no clue where the past 20 years of my life went. This song makes me think about that.
56
Goes fast dont it..17 turns 35 quick
Bless your heart !
64 and I wonder where the years went
I'm loving this as a 61 year old..wish I was 18 again..a classic
I'm 63 years old and have Loved this Great Song and many others of His since I first heard them.
i’m 63 and couldn’t agree with you more..those were great times for me to..such memories..
63 here, I wouldn't be 18 again. Every single year has gotten better. This song makes my heart sing. We were so lucky to have the music we had back then.
62 totally agree with u all ❤❤❤
❤😊❤😊
I am 85 now and his voice and lyrics literally bring tears to my eyes(as I type these comments) his .I feel a stab in my chest listening to him. Experiences of a life are encapsulated in his words and unique one of a kind voice. I know he is gone as is my youth. But with his songs it was a pretty good ride. Night moves,like a rock,against the wind , as an old biker "roll me away" against the wind
L
P
Damn man my exact feelings and time frame and songs
He's not gone. He's still rocking!
Brings a tear to my eye and lump in my throat
❤
I played this song at my dad's funeral. Of course, everyone judged me for not playing I guess gospel but this was my dad's favorite song .I can still hear him singing every word.
It describes him perfect!
You did that for your father. The comments of some sweep under the rug. Do not allow the negative response from some to cloud the thought of why you played what you played with that one special gift you played in honor of your father is special time that he was able to share with you while he was here. There has always been ugly comments by some that's apart of life. Try not to let it upset you they win by upsetting you. When you least expect it some where in the future you will hear that song, and some where deep past your heart there will be a smile that is felt in your soul that no one can fill it your rock. Your father is still with you just at a greater distance.
At 61, this song has so much more meaning. Amazing how his music always touches the soul.
Yes It Is
Yep! 62
41 and counting this song to make others feel like I do about it.
Deeply!
20 years... where'd they go now..... times 3....💪💪
