We started dating in 78, married in 80, he passed away October 2022, these were our songs ✌️ he's now in heaven with our daughter, miss them both so so much🫶🙏 these are sweet memories for me thou🫶✌️
My best friend Gary and I used to listen to this after school. He died in Afghanistan, here's to you Gary.
It’s sad because you don’t understand what an incredible gift being young is until your youth is gone and autumn is closing in. It’s 2023 and I’m 59. How did that even happen?
Bob Seger is arguably one of the best songwriters of my generation. This song defined my very existence in the 70s. So much so that I almost had Night Moves pinstriped on the back of my 65 GTO.
Shhh. Just let it wash over you. - Dean Winchester ♥️
Back when things seemed simple and your mind did not count the clock. You rode the wind as if you were going to be here forever. Youth and its gifts continued to embrace you but now you sit with a reality of that those days are gone.
Supernatural !
Isn't it magical when just hearing a song can instantly open a floodgate of wonderful memories from an earlier time?
I was a teenager in the late 70's when this song came out. I completely get what Bob's talking about, and I remember many a make out session with many a girl in the back of my rusted out '73 Javelin. I get a little misty remembering my wayward youth. We WERE just young and restless and bored. Like they say, youth is wasted on the young. You can't get those times back. All you can do is remember.
"I used her, she used me but neither one cared" - the innocence of youth and how I wish I could rekindle those bygone days. One of the best tracks and albums ever made.
Can't remember how many times this song had made me tear up. One of those songs you have to listen to with your eyes closed, makes me feel so incredible sad and happy at the same time. This has to be in the top 5 songs ever made in history
In the last verse he's humming a song from 1962 as he hears the thunder and autumn's closing in. Bob Seger would have been seventeen in the summer of 62. Sounds about right.
Reasons to love this song: 1. Bob Seger 2. You're alive 3. Awesome music 4. Joey Tribbiani!
Me and my little girl went out to lunch earlier and I went a different way home and passed an old road that lead to where me and my high-school sweetheart used to "park" and this song popped in my head. She passed away not long after we graduated. So here we are all these years later and I still think of her. Will always love you Amy...
Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine. It takes you back to a simpler and happier (for most) time in our lives. Thank you Bob Seger for this masterpiece!
53 years old here in Minnesota. Thank you sir for making my life, my wife of 27 years better. This hits the heart right where it should.
Feelin’ this. I lost my beloved wife in 2019. When I “wake to the sound of thunder”, I know it’s her. Thanks, Bob.

I was 17 in 1979 at about the time this song came out. And I dated a very cute 16 year old sweet girl, that I had meet in the line to get in the roller skating rink. She was getting fresh with me in line. My sweet little Heather. I can remember picking her up in my "73" Firebird and asking where she wanted to go. She said the drive-in with a cute little giggle. She stared at me and giggle the whole way there. I was so naive back then and still a virgin and so was she, but she wasn't quite as naive as me. We dated all summer long, but for some reason we had a little spat on our last date. I don't even remember what it was about. We felt the lightning, but waited on the thunder. I've never been married or had children. She got married to another man and had a family. About 6 months ago I got a friend request from her. I hadn't talked to her in over 40 years. We are now friends on Facebook. I sent her a link of this video to her and that this song has always reminded me of her, through Facebook messenger. She messaged back with hearts exploding into many hearts emoji. I think she liked it. This song will remind me of her, for the rest of my life. I don't think she's married anymore. And Wow! She's a gorgeous woman. A knock out. Story to be continued.😊
Nearly 50 years ago this was one of my favourites. It still brings back memories of that time. It’s probably better now than I thought it was then.
