FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band "Night Moves"

Summer is a metaphor for our teenage years. Autumn is the metaphor for adulthood. (Your baby is Spring. Sadly I’m moving into the Winter of my life.)

I've watched several reactions to this great song and nobody has acknowledged the line, "points all her own sitting way up high...way up firm and high". Iconic line!

Bob "See-ger" is one of the deepest rabbit holes out there. Just a million good songs, and the comments will give you plenty to choose from. And Britt, THANK YOU for doing the studio version. My humble advice is: "react to the studio version, unless you are specifically directed to the live version." Again, my personal preference.

This came out in 1976 one of the best tracks ever written❤

Bob Seger is a Legend from Detroit. The Silver Bullet Band is his band you hear playing...

Those of us born in the early 60's have enjoyed the best music ever. Seger is one of the best!

I will be a Bob Seger fan till I die. My daughter recognized his voice by the time she was 2. She would come running yelling his name. Her Strut, Old time Rock and Roll, Fire Down Below and Main street are just some of his greats❤

I have very fond memories from late 1976, of being 17, sitting in my 1973 Z-28 Camero, in the mall parking lot, late one winter night, beautiful girl sitting in my lap, the windows all fogged up, and Bob Seager and Night Moves blaring through the Tenna Mind Blower speakers. Ahhhhh….the 70s!!! And now, all of the sudden, I’m 65.

I'll request it again, and every time you do Bob Seger. "Weve Got Tonight." You will love it!

Turn the Page Old Time Rock-'n'-roll Against the Wind Like a Rock Roll Me Away Fire Down Below Hollywood Nights Her Strut Rock and Roll Never Forgets Just a few more great songs by Seger.

Bob Seger is in the songwriters hall of fame and the rock and roll hall of fame… probably because the only thing he could never do was write a bad song 🎧

Stop watching the video and just listen to the lyrics. You completely missed the genius of this song. It's starts in fondly recounting his youth (summer), then at the break, he awakes to the sound of thunder and finds himself realizing he's in the autumn of his life and all the excitement of his youthful escapades are but memories. The meaning of "night moves" changes, as he awakes from a dream to find himself "humming a song from 1962 - ain't it funny how the night moves..." I grew up hearing this song, probably a few hundred times, never paying attention much to the lyrics or what is was about. Then a couple of years ago, on one of these reaction videos, I really listened for the first time, now at 54. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I suppose someone your age can't quite know what it's like to look back on your life with that bittersweet feeling of knowing there more behind you than in front. And the thing is, most of Seger's songs are like this. He has this uncanny ability to capture nostalgia in song. Somehow, in his twenties and thirties he was able to tap into some really deep, profound ideas about life. Try "Like a Rock" or "Against the Wind' next.

Bob Seger is my very favorite!!! And as said above it's a deep deep rabbit hole! He's in my opinion one of the best Rock poets ever! And Mercy, that growly voice of his! Yum!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bob Seger is one of the absolute best artists to have ever lived! His voice has been one of my favorites since I was just a kid. To feel like a teenager again....

Yep, this song is about getting laid and learning all the night moves. The song then switches to him as an older man thinking back to that time wistfully, cos the fact he's aging smacked him in the face when the lightning struck. Back then it was the height of summer. Like you said, he was young and free. Now the autumn of his life is closing in. "Ain't it funny how the night moves."

The deeper meaning is the summer being your youth and "with autumn closing in" meaning youre now older and looking back. Im 67 and the music was great back then. Love your show❤

VEVO cuts off the very important final words of this song: "I remember, I remember." VEVO gives us a fade out instead...

"Everyone's feet are in the air, everywhere!" Britt, i nearly spit my food out! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bob Seger could easily be the posterboy for all that was great about the 70s. An ICON of Icons, to be sure. Ive only a handful of artists that transport me back to "the summertime" and ole Bob is probably at the top of the list.

Bob Seger’s music is so awesome. Huge catalog of greats!!
