Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
First car my parents got me was a 1978 oldmobile 98. (This was in 1999 mind you) All it had was an 8 track player, the only 8 track I had was Bob Seger - night moves. I found it in the garage.. I'd listen to it over and over on the 3 hour drive to college just for the sake of hearing something, ANYTHING. Lost my mom to liver cancer a year and a few weeks ago. It was never our song or anything, but she'd laugh so hard at me for listening to it over and over.. or at me humming it because it would be inGRAINED in my head. She eventually found a box of 8 tracks at a garage sale for me. Anyway, there's really no point in this.. just made me think of my mom and I wanted to say sorry for your loss, there's nothing quite like this when you're close to the woman who bore you. To sum it up with absolutely no eloquence.. Fucken miss her yo ..
"Wow... How can I say what this song means to me. I live across the river from Detroit, about a half-hour from where this song was recorded. Each and every time I hear this song, I am immediately transported to one particular time in my life. It was summer of 1985. 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. It was my way of proposing. She said yes, and we browsed, I found one, and bought it. Much later that night, I dropped her off, and began my 25 minute ride home. I was in my Dad's 1973 Plymouth Valiant. 2 A.M, at the intersection of Caron Avenue and Riverside Drive. The Detroit skyline off to my left. Christ it was hot. Muggy. The smell of new summer in the air. 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. The DJ said "CKWW, Radio 580, it's 2 o'clock". Those rich strummed chords, and that husky voice. I sang along, on top of the world. My girl said "yes", and all was right with the world. I am still married to that same girl. 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. Seger was right. Indeed... funny how you remember. Peace."
EDIT: Just wanted to say this prose is not original. I had found it a long time ago on songmeanings.net, and it really spoke to me. Upon seeing this post to /r/music, I wanted to share it with you guys too.
this song will forever remind me of cory kennedy's part in pretty sweet. his last line is fucking incredible.
also, sorry for your loss :(
Amazing Mix#3
Sorry for your loss my friend. If I had my way puppies and mum's would live forever.
I grew up in Detroit during the 70's 80's -so the ambient love for Bob Seger was always at 100% -but I never really saw the appeal. His songs sounded bittersweet if not downright depressing (Turn the Page)...Now that I'm 46 ..I finally get it. I just needed the appropriately aged ears/life experience to get/feel/share in what he was singing in his wonderful songs.
Heck, I drive down Main Street every evening on my way home ...Life is funny that way...
When I was a kid, I thought this song was about a night moose.
Love this song.
I'm sorry for your loss.... strange song to share though considering the topic...
I feel for you. We had John Denver...my musical guilty pleasure to this day.
Workin on my night cheese!
