Bob Seger-Against The Wind

Bob Seger 10月20日因 脊椎骨傷痛動手術，10月3日時Bob已宣告將延遲他的巡迴演唱以療傷。

Bob Seger是歷年暢銷歌星排行榜第82名的暢銷歌星，1945年出生於密西根州的Dearborn，在底特律長大，是一位搖滾樂歌手、作曲人、吉他手，1966年初次錄唱片，1968年組了 the System合唱團，1969年去大學進修，1970年回頭搞音樂，並組了自己的伴唱樂隊 The Silver Bullet Band。

Bob Seger的暢銷曲很多，光Top 10的歌就有7首， 其中1980年獲得過第5名的Against The Wind有the Eagles的主唱 Glenn Frey唱合聲，歌曲創意來自他讀中學時在鄉間跑步的那一種感覺，歌曲快結束時唱的歌詞"Let the cowboys ride!"在Van Morrison的"Santa Fe/Beautiful Obsession"結尾也出現過，而歌詞前段唱的"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" 這一句他考慮很久要不要用，但大家都喜歡，別人也用過，就放進歌詞裡了，這是是一首百聽不厭的好歌。

Against The Wind

Bob Seger

It seems like yesterday

But it was long ago

Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights

There in the darkness with the radio playing low

And the secrets that we shared

The mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control

'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me

How she swore that it never would end

I remember how she held me oh so tight

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind

We were runnin' against the wind

We were young and strong, we were runnin'

Against the wind

The years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

I found myself further and further from my home

And I guess I lost my way

There were oh so many roads

I was living to run and running to live

Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time

Breaking all of the rules that would bend

I began to find myself searching

Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind

A little something against the wind

I found myself seeking shelter sgainst the wind

Well those drifter's days are past me now

I've got so much more to think about

Deadlines and commitments

What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind

I'm still runnin' against the wind

I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind

Well I'm older now and still runnin'

Against the wind

Against the wind

Against the wind

Still runnin'

I'm still runnin' against the wind

I'm still runnin'

I'm still runnin' against the wind

Still runnin'

Runnin' against the wind

Runnin' against the wind

See the young man run

Watch the young man run

Watch the young man runnin'

He'll be runnin' against the wind

Let the cowboys ride

Let the cowboys ride

They'll be ridin' against the wind

Against the wind ...
