Night Moves (song)
"Night Moves" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Bob Seger. It was the lead single from his ninth studio album, ''Night Moves'' (1976), released on Capitol Records. Seger wrote the song as a coming of age tale about adolescent love and adult memory of it. It was based on Seger's own teenaged love affair he experienced in the early 1960s. It took him six months to write the song. The song was recorded quickly at Nimbus Nine Studios in Toronto, Ontario with producer Jack Richardson. As much of Seger's Silver Bullet Band had returned home by this point, the song was recorded with several local session musicians.
Released as a single in December 1976, it reached number four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Seger's first hit single since Ramblin' Gamblin' Man from 1969. It also charted at number five in Canada and was a top 25 hit in Australia. The song was responsible for changing Seger from being a popular regional favorite into a national star.
==Background==
"Night Moves" originates from Seger's adolescence; he wrote the song in an attempt to capture the "freedom and looseness" he experienced from that period in his life. He had recently begun to socialize with a rougher crowd who regarded him as cool because he played music.〔 The song's contents are largely autobiographical; for example, the group of friends would often hold parties they called "grassers", wherein they would go to a farmer's field outside Ann Arbor and dance.〔 Through them, he met a woman—credited as Rene Andretti in the ''Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings''—whose boyfriend was in the military and was away. "It's about this dark haired Italian girl that I went out with when I was 19, she was one year older than me," he later recalled. Seger promptly pursued a romantic relationship with the girl, but eventually her partner returned and they married, leaving Seger with a broken heart. Seger later told journalist Timothy White that many of his early songs were written to impress the girl.
The song took Seger over six months to complete writing. He had recently purchased a house due to the success of his first live album, ''Live Bullet'', and he and the band would write and practice in its large basement. The song's ending lyrics were written first.〔 The song's use of descriptive imagery was inspired by Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee” (1969), a song that Seger loved whilst developing his writing style. The catalyst for writing "Night Moves" was after Seger saw the 1973 film ''American Graffiti'': "I came out of the theater thinking, ‘Hey, I've got a story to tell, too! Nobody has ever told about how it was to grow up in my neck of the woods.'"〔 Seger was inspired by the film's depictions of early 1960s car culture, of which he was a part. A 1996 article in ''The Detroit News'' claims that Seger wrote portions of the song while at an A&W in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
