Today’s Song of the Day is “Roll Me Away” by Bob Seger. Spending the week at Orange Beach and feeling kind of yacht-rockish, I guess. I heard “Night Moves” play at a breakfast diner this morning; it took me way back, but I quickly jumped to “Roll Me Away” as that feeling of leaving it all behind has been hanging around lately.
I love the imagery in these lyrics…they really capture the mood of driving to see how far you can get away. The tag-along for a while companion was a nice touch to get away from a traditional love song, too. The dynamics in the song captures the essence of stopping to making a decision and really pulls the listener into the song’s situation. But above all else, this song makes driving fun, and that’s why I keep listening to it. Check it out if you haven’t heard it!
