Brave Strangers

"'Dauntless Strangers' is nearly the end of a relationship. Information technology's a motif I've never washed before. Information technology was a challenge. We're knocked out by the tune and have been playing it in our evidence the last 2 months. At that place'south a line in 'Brave Strangers', 'Radio blasting silly little dearest songs, we merely listen to the beat.' And that'south the central line to that vocal. That'due south the way it was back then. I write songs and desire them to translate to the stage."Bob Seger (1002)

Her Strut

"But anyhow, 'Her Strut'. The very title conjures up an image to me, ya know? And it'south something I had to work my style around, 'cause proverb 'I love to scout her strut' is about an automated sexist thing. 'Her Strut'. I really struggled with that, I did. Only I loved the hardness of the word 'strut' in the song, ya know? And I worked real hard on the verses to endeavor to put beyond the idea that this is not a sexist theme, that what I'yard trying to say here is that at the lesser line it's human nature, that men are still gonna love women for being sexual in spite of all this other stuff. Women accept to sympathize that it's yet gonna be human nature. Tin can't turn off the hormones. I didn't wanna expect like I was some sort of sexist monster, and I'm non, I'g really non. Honest to God."Bob Seger (1003)

Makin' Thunderbirds/Boomtown Blues

"Those two are sort of a two-part novel on the land of the Midwest equally I see it, being from hither."Bob Seger (1004)

Bob Seger Song Meanings - Makin' Thunderbirds and Boomtown Blues

Little Victories

"The idea is that you can get through night moments past doing that – by saying, well, it happened. I accept to accept it, and now I'm either going to let it pull me down or I'yard going to pull myself dorsum up. And how am I going to practice that? I'm going to achieve this today and this tomorrow – to pull yourself out of a hole when something crushing happens to you. Then that'south basically what it's nearly – going the distance."Bob Seger (1004)

Beautiful Loser

"Likewise, a lot of people call up I wrote 'Beautiful Loser' about myself. I got the idea for that song from a book of Leonard Cohen poetry by the same proper noun. The song was virtually underachievers in general."Bob Seger (1005)

American Storm

"People who do drugs probably recognized it right abroad. That song isn't from my experience, just from observing the experiences of those around me. I'thou no saint, but I've never had a serious drug problem. I thought it was a bad thing three years ago, merely it'southward gotten worse. It'south a world trouble at present. Personally, I was never really affected by drugs. I was the kind of guy who, in high school, would buy a six-pack out of peer pressure, beverage half a can and pour the rest out. Cocaine is just bad stuff. I've seen too many people deed similar idiots on information technology."Bob Seger (1005)

The Ballad Of The Yellow Beret

"Ha ha ha! It was just a goof. I wrote it with Doug Dark-brown, who I worked with on Del Shannon songs. He was a very humorous guy and we played in a group called Doug Brown and The Omens. He just wanted to have a hitting. The A-side was called 'Florida Time' past the Beach Bums – a Embankment Boys take-off. On the B-side, 'The Ballad Of The Yellow Beret' was just a goof on how stoic Barry Sadler'southward vocal [The Ballad Of The Dark-green Beret – Ed] was, trying to brand fun of its seriousness."Bob Seger (1006)

2+2=?

"But certainly many of my friends went and bore the scars. A pitiful period. If I had to practice it over, I wouldn't take made fun of it, wouldn't have done 'The Yellow Beret'. I was very young and just thought it was funny. Several years later I wrote '2+two=?' about the waste material of state of war. I had a friend who was killed in Vietnam, and when I go to the Memorial Wall, which I do when I'm in Washington DC, I see his proper noun and remember him…"Bob Seger (1006)

The Famous Concluding Scene

"Information technology's funny, I remember that when I wrote 'The Famous Last Scene', all my friends asked me if I was breaking up with my girlfriend. I wasn't. It merely seemed like a rich and dramatic topic, and I merely tried to imagine what it would be similar when a relationship is really over and how terrible that must experience."Bob Seger (1007)

Withal The Same

"People take asked me for years who it'southward about. It'south an amalgamation of characters I met when I first went to Hollywood. All 'Type A' personalities: overachieving, driven."Bob Seger (1008)
