The Reviews about Night Moves (page 1/1)
------ performed by Bob Seger
agree with Jeff | Reviewer: Powerglide | 10/30/09
I agree with Jeff's review: Only good song of Seger, and the last verse says it all. (Runnin' on Empty is a good song title wasted except for the great guitar riff toward the end). I prefer Mellancamp's take on prairie youth (eg, Jack 'n' Diane - 'two 'merican kids out in the heartland'). And you should listen to John Prine for real bite.
Brings Me Back | Reviewer: Dragon192 | 9/1/09
Seger hits my note with Night Moves. Truthfully, I can only wish my 1962 nighttime experiences with the various girls I had along in my '54 Ford would have come close to the descriptions of hot, mutually enthusiastic love-making as told in the 2nd & 3rd verses. No, I think the heat was all mine, and I had to spend substantial energy trying to get the girl to just make out - and I don't recall any 'black-haired beauties that I was ever in the backseat with, nor did the girls I drove around with have quite the 'way up high and firm points' as told in the first verse.
But some nights late, all those 47 years down the road, I am wakened by memories of those Kansas summer nights of so long ago, and Seger's great Night Moves starts perfectly playing over and over in my mind, and I remember being so young, having so little to loose, and yeah...gettin' my share.
strange moves | Reviewer: joseph peabody | 8/21/09
I too remember this song in my youth but with different circumstances. You know how it is... some times ya just wanna be alone, and out in the desert southwest there aint a whole lot of places you can go. So there I was sitting under a tree on the bank of a very large irrigation canal at night, drinking beer and listening the local radio station. All of a sudden this guy comes up and starts bumming a smoke, and then asking for a beer.
Now I am as sharing as the next guy but when he asked for a third beer, just as "Night Moves" comes on over the radio, I went ape shit. I smashed the bottle across the tailgate and jabbed the jagged end into his throat.
As he lay there on the ground, holding his throat and trying to speak, but only managing a throaty,harsh, gurgling sound, I couldn't help but laugh.
As the song ended I kicked him over the edge of the bank and watch him slip away beneath the dark , murky waters. It was a summer I would never forget. Thank you Bob Seger!
Best song he ever wrote | Reviewer: Jeff | 3/25/09
This is the best song he ever wrote, and the only one he ever wrote that ever impressed me. He's OK, but I never was a big Seger fan. It's not that I dislike him, but most of his music, while good, was just never my style.
This one song came along at just the right time in my life, 21 y/o at the time, and the last verse of the song summed up how the best summer of my life faded into autumn. That summer was when I met the Love of my life, Diane from Newport Beach, CA, but sadly, we never married. Diane DID NOT break my heart; it's just that the time was not right and we ended up going our separate ways, still friends to this day. I have no absolutely regrets about my time with Diane...
"I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in"
Last two line say it all right there.
To this day, I am still impressed by this one Bob Seger song..."NIGHT MOVES".
