Gates of EdenBob Seger

Songwriter: Bob Seger

Producer: Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
I was in the tender mercies of the breaking dawn
I was somehow in a place that made me want to go along
I remember thinking all of this must have a reason
I remember thinking maybe I should look beyond

[Verse 2]
The night came on like thunder, lightning split the purple skies
My whole day had been a journey sorting through the truth and lies
I remember searching, longing for a deeper meaning
And it hit me like a diamond bullet right between the eyes

[Verse 3]
And I believed everything you said
Every paragraph and every word I read
Calling into question everything that I believe in
Huddled with the masses stranded at the gates of Eden
I was huddled with the masses stranded at the gates of Eden

In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
