It's interesting that Seger drives in the point of the "high/firm breasts" to contrast them with older females, who commonly have sagging/hanging/droopy breasts. It starts with a teenager's awkwardness and insecurity regarding their own body image. funny how you remember.Īn interesting and unique song, to say the least. We've been through deaths, births, 3 or 4 cars, some fancy vacations, a couple of houses, and that song is still something I hold near to my heart. My girl said "yes", and all was right with the world. Those rich strummed chords, and that husky voice. The DJ said "CKWW, Radio 580, it's 2 o'clock". I have heard Seger perform this live, I have heard it on my zillion-dollar home stereo system, but it never sounded better to me than it did on that AM car radio. 2 A.M, at the intersection of Caron Avenue and Riverside Drive. Much later that night, I dropped her off, and began my 25 minute ride home. She said yes, and we browsed, I found one, and bought it. My girlfriend at the time and I had been at a festival downtown and I kinda brought up the idea of looking at engagement rings. Each and every time I hear this song, I am immediately transported to one particular time in my life. I live across the river from Detroit, about a half-hour from where this song was recorded. How can I say what this song means to me. (Night moves) lord I remember oh yeah yeah (Night moves) lord I remember, lord I remember (Night moves) working and practicing oh, on the night moves (Night moves) I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember (night moves) whoa, whoa (Night moves) funny how you remember the night moves (Night moves) ain't it funny how you remember (oh oh) (Night moves) sure do remember those night moves When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Started humming a song from nineteen sixty-two
I woke last night to the sound of thunder I used her she used me but neither one cared To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods We were just young and restless and boredĪnd we'd steal away every chance we could We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit Practicing our night moves in the summertime, oh Trying' to make some front page drive-in news Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyesĪnd points all her own sitting way up high Virtually every song on Night Moves has a hunger, toughness and drive that is almost palpable, and in the lyrics Seger has written for the powerful surging melodies can be found a continuing fascination with the underdog, the loser and the oppressed.”ĭespite being called a poor man’s Bruce Springsteen, Seger had the final laughs and no matter how old he was, he did everything to achieve his success in his own terms.I was a little too tall could've used a few pounds “As a result of Night Moves, he has suddenly become one of the hottest attractions in pop music. “Well, it turns out that Seger has the last laugh,” Larry Rohter wrote in the Washington Post on Aug. The British Encyclopedia of Rock billed him as “ one of the great lost figures of rock ‘n’ roll’” in early 1977 because he was 31, and that he “ has always seemed destined to miss out on the big time.” The album that put Seger on the path of international success. It went on to go six times platinum, and even beat Bruce Springsteen, Born To Run, selling more copies. However, Night Moves came to being, and everything for Seger changed. At 30, he was the Midwestern legend doing live shows and releasing singles, but a national break kept dodging him. Bob Seger turned 30 when during the songwriting and recording of Night Moves, he spent his entire musical journey with struggles and fallback.
