    I always though that this song was about a lost love. Knowing that David wrote this about his Dad brought me to tears. How many of us have lost their Dads and still think of them everyday?

    I am a major rock n roller. Alice Cooper was my first concert at 13 in 1973. But nothing can touch the songs of Bread. Not Alice Cooper, not Alice in Chains. Rock n Roll is one thing. Songs this sweet and honest are something completely different. It really moves me seeing him older and that in his singing this song, I can still hear the purity in his voice from when he sang it in 1972. The story about his dad and this song makes this so much more real, special, and cherished.

    I honestly didn't think of this song romantically. The first line "you sheltered me from harm" first thing I had in mind was family and as the song continued, I remembered my grandma who had passed away. She took care of me when my parents were busy, I wish I was old enough to take care of her when she got older and sick. I miss all the people I've lost when I was just a kid. I wish I could still talk to them now that I'm older. 🤍

    My dad died December the 1993, my firstborn was almost a year old. My dad was legally going adopt my son to keep him in the family and give him his family name. Unfortunately months before this would happen he passed suddenly. This is the one song I could think of, still has meaning to that time, and that sorrow we were all feeling. I still miss my dad. It's been 28 years.

    David Gates explained the special meaning of this song when he played in Perth, Australia about 10 years ago and although I'd been a great Bread fan since the seventies, it really blew me away and touched me that it was written with his father in mind. David is without doubt one of the greatest singer song writers ever!

      I always thought this was a sweet love song. But until I heard David Gates talk about what was behind this song, it never got to me. I thought about what it will be like one day when my Dad is gone. Then I remembered my big brother whom I lost in 2014 at just 54 years, and it hit me. I would give anything, everything to see my brother, David Webb. The song will never be the same. Thank you David Gates for touching me with your song and it's true meaning. Brother, I miss you terribly.

I sobbed when I listened to this. I asked my son to add it to the picture video he made as a tribute to my father for his viewing. We laid his body to rest yesterday. He was so special. He’ll forever be my hero. 💔

    When I was in grade school I only understood the romantic side of this song, playing it while aching for some forgotten girl. Listened to it constantly, to pick the scab as it were. When older I saw the real meaning of the song, and when my dad passed I played it for my mom a couple days after the funeral. We were both crying. It's a beautiful song. She's now close to joining her husband in heaven. I'll play it again for myself when the time comes.

    You sheltered me from harm
    Kept me warm, kept me warm
    You gave my life to me
    Set me free, set me free
    The finest years I ever knew
    Were all the years I had with you
    And I would give anything I own
    Give up my life, my heart, my home
    I would give everything I own
    Just to have you back again
    You taught me how to love
    What it's of, what it's of
    You never said too much
    But still you showed the way
    And I knew from watching you
    Nobody else could ever know
    The part of me that can't let go
    And I would give anything I own
    Give up my life, my heart, my home
    I would give everything I own
    Just to have you back again
    Is there someone you know
    You're loving them so
    But taking them all for granted
    You may lose them one day
    Someone takes them away
    And they don't hear the words you long to say
    I would give anything I own
    Give up my life, my heart, my home
    I would give everything I own
    Just to have you back again
    Just to touch you once again

    I have always loved Bread and David Gates, and now that I know the true sentiment behind the lyrics of this song, it means even more to me. I have always thought there are not enough songs dedicated to dads because they are truly important to a child, and have an enormous effect on shaping them to become adults. You are an inspiration and have a voice like an angel.

    You wrote this song for your dad & believe people who listened to it thought it was a love song. I listen and know what it was for because i too listen too this song and miss her my ROSE 🥀{my mom } not birth not officially but still a mom GOD let us into each other life & 26 years later he took back. It was not enough time I lost her February 28 2016. If only for a moment how wonderful that would be for just a moment

    Such a brilliant songwriter and storyteller. In 4 minutes you understand his admiration and deep love for his father and his passing. If one doesn't feel and ID with the words of this beautifully poetic and emotionally constructed tune, your heart must cease to beat. I couldn't sing this in public without falling apart.

  • @danielloss8373
    @danielloss8373 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I grew up listening to this song and always liked it. But it never moved me emotionally. After hearing what the lyrics are really about, and then listening to it again, I just broke down. The words are so much more powerful as a tribute to a loving father than as a love song.

  • @ponledo

    "Everythin I Own" ("Todas Mis Posesiones")
    Canción al padre fallecido:
    (Traducción medio libre, para dar la idea)
    Me mantuviste a salvo de los daños, abrigado.
    Me diste vida y me diste libertad. Mis mejores años viví contigo.
    Entregaría todo lo que tengo, daría mi vida, mi corazón, mi casa. Entregaría todo lo que tengo por tenerte otra vez, de regreso. Me mostraste el amor, cómo es, cómo es.
    Aún y sin decir mucho me mostraste caminos que se enseñaban por mirarte. (Y) Cosas que nadie sabrá, fragmentos que no se pueden desprender.
    Entregaría todo lo que tengo, daría mi vida, mi corazón, mi casa. Entregaría todo lo que tengo por tenerte otra vez, de regreso.
    Hay a quienes comprendes y amas. (Y) Lo tomas como algo que ya tienes, concedido.
    Pero acaso algún día se pierda. Sea llevado sin poder escuchar de tí lo que le quieres decir.
    Entregaría todo lo que tengo, daría mi vida, mi corazón, mi casa. Entregaría todo lo que tengo por tenerte otra vez, de regreso...Tan sólo por (sentir) la cercanía, otra vez.

    I saw them in Australia in a farewell/reunion type concert tour in maybe the late 90’s perhaps or later, but they sounded brilliant, so professional and just quality musicianship, and one stage between songs David Gates asked the audience “how it sounded out there?” Cause it sounds pretty good from where we are” Been to see many concerts over the years, some of the greatest artist from around the world, and have to say this particular concert in Melbourne, Australia that night is one that stays with me. Thank-you Bread🙏
