Against the wind

Erik's guitar

I am driving my daughters car for awhile. Yesterday I put in a random cd and heard a song that took me back in time. I used to believe that before anyone could become a DJ they had to take a vow to always play Bob Seger's music at every homecoming, company party and wedding they ever worked at.

Yesterday I listened to his song Against The Wind. I mean that I really listened to the words from an adults perspective. I know what the song was about in my teenage mind, but the song I was now hearing had a whole different meaning. There are some really great lines in this song. A few of my favorites:

We were young and strong and we were running against the wind.

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

Guess I lost my way

there were oh so many roads

I was living to run and running to live.

Never worrying about paying

or how much I owed.

I have so much more to think about.

Dead lines and commitments,

what to leave in

and what to leave out.

It was fun just listening to this song and hearing it in a different way than I had when I was young because

I'm older now but still running against the wind.
