Bob Seger - Understanding

[MaamOfTwinOaks]

Lifes defining moments!

Beautiful

[guey4000]

this is another one of bob segars songs that make me miss my younger days!!!

[lilpudd1]

A beautiful song!!!!!!

[Titan52berg]

One of my favorites! The beat, the backup vocal chorus... and Seger! A classic great! Thanks for posting!!!!

[leadslinger49]

Makes this old guy think about my life. And what I've done with it.

[leadslinger49]

Great song. 

[panthercane13]

Love this song since the time I first heard it in the movie "Teachers".

[Doobie1975]

Great song, you don't hear this song on the radio all that often though which is unfortunate cause this is one of my favorite Seger songs

[spectralnighttravel]

@fishsticksandbeer Seriously? Crap like that has no place in a Bob Seger song.

[bagwoli]

@fishsticksandbeer

Can't you keep those comments to places where people give a damn, like Faux TV?

[daggertoungeomega]

I will never change anything that i have experienced since my return it showed me things most of all understanding. I was lost to but i am found I am not a person to fear nor a person to be worshipped it is not the nature of me or my family. I have patience and time must be utilized to wake as many as i can becuase the majority of the world is not ready. becuase they fail to be independent and seek the truth. Dont fear me but be concerned for those who are blind.

[bagwoli]

2 people don't understand this, but as of 11/10/11, 396 do understand. Thanks Bob, just goes to show not everyone in life understands it. Too Bad for them.

[tom321974]

i saw him live in 95 he really does put on a heck of a show almost 4 hrs long he is so good live

[eva321100]

love bob seger

[misslantana52]

God I love this song!!!!! Bob is such an amazing songwriter who has a way of connecting us to his songs! Bless you Bob Seger!

[robwheelut]

...When my Psychiatrist moved away, I printed this song and framed it for him. Thanks Dr. Martin, you helped me survive more than I ever believed I could.

You earned my gratitude with your selfless understanding.

[Hot100daze1976to1997]

Hello Dave Wollenberg,..Yes,..Your rigt,....Bob Seger - Understanding peaked @ 17 on 01-05-1985 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Chart

[tom321974]

[DaveWollenberg]

I wouldn't call a #17 hit, mild. Bob hit the peak, 1-5-85. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[bigbassn86]

Thank You Seegz......You got me understanding!

[Dutter65]

Great photos! You know in my part of the world we got to hear Bob but didn't g get to see much of him until he was older. Just seeing all this different shots makes this well worth watching. Thank you for posting.

[yalehd]

What a great song & singer with a distinctive voice, and back-up, one of a kind. Thanks Great Video

[Msdistarr]

I have been a lover of Bob's music since the mid '70's. He stand's nearly alone when it comes to writing music. He has an inherent talent to paint a picture with his words. He is a truly remarkable talent, of which there are few and this song is just one example of that.

[misslantana52]

@Msdistarr Beautiful description of Bob Seger............What a gift he is to me~I adore him so much! :)

[lindaladayteesgram7]

Ive loved him for so long NOW I ,m GREY and so is he!!!! still love him!!!

[ruttie100]

This is the first time that i've hear this song , what a great song, you go Bob.

[eltrut96]

1 person doesn't have taste.

[dchand2]

SEGER, keep to makin Chevy commercials with this shitty ass elevator music!!

[bamco1965]

@dchand2 you must be a kid

[joeyriddell88]

Fitting song for the end of the movie "Teachers" staring nick nolte and ralph macchio.

[onbrghtsd]

[kmel5150]

Why the hell was a song as good as this with a message that is not complex used for a shitty movie?

[runalongnowhoney]

Kate - Thank you

[jewells49]

I'm a rock n roll Seger loving sister! Always loved his soulful voice and good looks and blasted the radio when his songs played back in the day. Still love him today as I was in the mood to hear his voice. Always a fan...

[fratevaba]

Sei un grande

[wookisuki]

These words of Seger's " Understanding " were actually quoted by a Newscaster Kevin Newman on a CANADIAN news channel as the man and words that inspired him. And Hey Bob , that is kicking Ass ! To be quoted by one of our top Newscaster's !

[xepobnha666]

This song is so true, keep moving ahead finding peace and understanding inside, and the love to give with it..

[Frostbyte380]

Awesome video. The end of the song with the bands concert picture was perfect!

[thealchemist4603]

Classic Bob song. This is the kind of song I listen to on a drive through the mountains on my way to go fishing, and feel just completely content inside, as though there's nowhere else on the planet I should be.

[musicman196545]

This song says alot and with all that life has given me good and bad I somehow someway found the love I have been looking for all my life came to me 10 years ago. And even with all the the good and bad times shes been there to help understand life and what it has to give.Thanks bella I love you till the day after tomorrow and heres to the next 10 million years together.

[beareagle2001]

I Just Love Bob Segar! All his songs!!!

[hdtwoodsman]

He really was a poet.  There aren't many w/ better lyrics than Segar... Having said that, he should have said NO to Chevy.

[youngmindedman]

He is my favorite rock singer!

[janetmabank]

i want my mama's records back so bad lol

[kstate4]

Great song about teachers!!!

[tom321974]

[booknplays]

How could I have forgotten how much I love this man! Gonna pull out the tape player and the old cassettes!

[903davesharonpoky]

I think the song was a bigger hit than the movie was!!!

[perezynkrs1]

[lulume100]

[kkthekitty]

WAS PLAYED AT THE END OF THE 1984 MOVIE TEACHERS

[perezynkrs1]

@kkthekitty up that's right i loved the movie it was down right funny but the song makes me think about my high school who lost his life in the september 11th terror attacks

[sucharadder]

Rhythmically perfect...

[slovacek59]

[tom321974]

i saw him in st.louis back in 96 and he does sing with a lot of enthusiasm great singer grea tperformer that concert was the ebst concert i been to rock on bob u rock

[krugin72]

I remember as a kid taping this song on a cassette because at the time it was the only way you could get it because the soundtrack was in and out so fast. Love all his songs but this songs lyrics and melody move me more then any. Sing it loud and proud all the time!

[FastFreddy488]

this is a great song......

[rjelliott13]

Excellent song & video! I've been blessed to have seen Seger in concert many times & like fine wine he only gets better with age! Everyone if you really listen to the words can or will one day have a understanding & be able to relate in some form or fashion to what he's saying- Thanks for posting this song/video!

[Wingard4b]

This is my favorite song!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #5 rock, #7 AC, #17 pop in Billboard. God bless!

[faithingod65]

To the whole staff at WHS. Thank you for posting.

[faithingod65]

To the whole staff at Westville High, may God bless you all. Thank you for posting.

[nychro7]

I couldn't ask for a song with more crunch, soul, and richness to it than this one. Awesome song. Awesome musician. I love the heavy and tight drums and piano especially on this song.

[SmokieTheBand]

This song is Amazing!

Love Bob Seger

[DaveWollenberg]

Thanx, setenteromusic, I'd forgotten which movie it was from. Everybody else, knock off the swearin'' alright? hit #17 in Billboard.

[HarmonyChurch88]

For the First Time...........

[phate451]

whats with the shitty morphing at the beginning?

[sunnitwo]

I just love this song..I dont even know how to explain my feelings..somehow it touches me deeply. Bob is about my age.. and I can relate.

[railroadmack1]

Dona:One cannot say enough about how great a rock n roll artist Bob Seger is! He has had so many great hits and this one truly ranks within the greatest!!

[racehorselady]

Love the song -- Loved Bob, then and now. I hate getting old--

[Steacy783]

Seger get's his respect every day !:) Because he is a part of the north american fabric where soul, white or black ,, came from !

[clockworkorange72]

I really can honestly say that american artist put more heart and soul into their

music than him i only wish he would

be given more respect and credit..

[brccspa202]

Look at Bob at counter reading 30-33. He's drop dead gorgeous! Nothing depressing there. True, he is one of a kind.l

[steggieone]

This guy made the purest American rock n roll I've ever heard. Nobody blended electric guitars, piano, snare hits and gospel background vocals like this band.

[atrotroa]

One of Seger's greatest songs, and there are so many ...

[teahaus]

Great song. Thanks for posting. You might consider redoing the vid without the image warp, though.

[Powermaddd]

Great song. Great artist.

[jmnordblom]

this is the one song that puts into words how I feel about my girl...I always loved this song, but now there is meaning to the words. A very cool feeling...

[daddymak9]

I watched the movie Teachers yesterday. Not the greatest, but watching it helped me remember this song, which I had forgotten about.

[starbearry]

@daddymak9 The best thing that came out of that movie was "Teacher, Teacher" by .38 Special

[Steacy783]

As I understand it as only a mere fan as opposed to die hard fan , the problem for Bob was critics being un-able to classify him clearly as either rock or country !,,? I'm still a fan anywway !!!:)

[steelbadge50]

This is his best!

Just now understanding

[oldfart1945]

Thanks for posting this It is one of Bob's best

[kaylovesmuzik]

I love this song, been looking for it for years!!! Thank you, thank you for posting!!!

k~

[wyliesnyder]

GREAT POSTING!!

FAVED.

[speedstersaccount]

Got turned on to bob around 73 or 74 when my uncle came back from veit nam and have loved his music every since.

RIP Uncle Mike.

[janetmabank]

@speedstersaccount me too , we must be about the same age , love me some bob seger , my uncle bobby had just came home from the war ..... R.I.P uncle Bobby

[gerrit1263]

Bob Seger the best in rock music

[wthjrtx1]

Gheez, to hear our favorite tunes and read comments on them brings ya to tears huh?

We are Gen X and the coooolest!

Ya got me Understanding...Yes you do!

Thanks Bob, Your loved and Appreciated

[mmangum4444]

great song. it should be re-released.

[Powermaddd]

Great song. Perfect production. Love it.

[jrhcj]

I, too, looked for this song for several months. Thank you for giving us the chance to hear it again( and again)! an aging teacher

[bohonk123]

i cant believe how many years i have looked for this song and now finally than you

[carldrosa]

The beginning of this song always affects me. '...I think I'm starting to learn.'

One of the best songs in the world that receives very little air time and even a lower interest from everyone. Similar to putting the Mona Lisa in a closet.

[sunnitwo]

I agree. I had a tape of his songs and this is on it..listened all the time..anyway..can hear it all the time on you tube which makes me smile every time I am on here..Margie..sunnitwo

[exreptile666]

My favorite Bob Seger song, from one of my favorite movies!

[carbon4me]

Great video. I was fortunate to see him play in Oakland, Ca. several times in the 80's. He always played with passion and a level of enthusiasm that kept the audience on their feet the entire concert. He has so many outstanding songs and lp's.

Thanks again for sharing.

Cupertino, Ca

[flyerspa67]

I love this song...It's a feel good song...

And i love the movie it's from 1983--''TEACHERS''

[Asgulria]

I love this song! I was hoping someone would post this song! Thank you!!

[wayneBedfre]

Fantastic Post!! Thanks

[bze2nlz]

One of the best parts of this movie was the song! Seger also made the end credits for "Mask" (1985) with "Roll Me Away."

[CQDX018]

He also had a few songs in the Beverly Hills Cop movies. I believe it was, "Your busted." Good song!

[ShoobyBugger]

"Shakedown," I think the song is. But yes, good song!

[themacfanforever]

Forgot about this one, thanks for sharing this one...love Bob Seger!

[nanajanamike]

A great vid to a great song!

[greenshirtjohn]

oops - "the TEACHER will appaer".

[greenshirtjohn]

Bob Seger rocks! This song sums up the statement "when the student is ready, the student will apeear."

[drproctor13]

A great song from an underrated movie! Thanks for posting this one.

[TalaHassySassy]

awesome! I love this one! 5 *****

[judylovesleif]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!
