-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
This song is an emotional tribute to David Gates's father. It never fails to make me think of my own dad, who passed away 30 years ago. Bread was a part of the soft rock 70's sound. They had a ton of hits.
Cheryl, gosh did he die young? So sorry...I lost a 38 yr old sister, hospitals fault.
@@michaelasay8587 He was 61 when he died in 1993. I had lost my mother just a few months earlier. I'm so sorry about your sister. I lost my twin to cancer at only 49. Losing loved ones is a part of life, but that doesn't make it any easier.
I always just assumed it was about a lover, and never considered anything else until today. The song always brings back a very powerful and special memory.
Hadn't heard this song in forever. Brought me to tears. Thought of my own father who passed 58 years ago at age 42, but worse just lost my wife of 43 years just 4 weeks ago. This song fits for a lot of situations.
Same with me. Dad passed in 1990 at age 60. Way too young.
I’m 61. In their heyday we dudes were way too macho to like Bread. We only listened to them because “our girlfriend liked them.” In reality, when we were alone and they came on the radio, we weeped like everyone else. Now I’m mature enough to say, GREAT BAND!
Truth.
Totally not true. Guys listened to bread if they were musicians or writers.
I would suppose if surrounded by people like that, you would have appreciated their musicality and story telling lyrics.
Well, David Gates was no Tiny Tim.
@@michaelbailey1395 that is funny shit!!
@@michaelbailey1395 Hush! We’ve got these younger generations thinking all our music was great. We can’t let them know our deep, dark secret!
As someone who still remembers every word to every song on Bread’s Greatest Hits, “GUITAR MAN” is a must. 😁
Yes. That’s one of my favorite songs. Bread was so popular in the 70’s. Loved them
I think the guys would really appreciate it being musicians themselves.
Absolutely agree. Great song
Guitar Man's a great song.
Yes, yes a thousand times yes!
A very good friend passed away several years ago. His adult son spoke at the funeral. He talked about all the family trips they took to concerts, and they became friends with David Gates, who explained the origin of this song. He then read the lyrics. Three hundred people and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I will never forget that.
Lovely story, thank you.
Wow, that's a great tribute. Sorry for your loss, obviously he was loved/missed.
I don't know how he son made it through the reading. I don't think I could do it.
@@jeffmorse645 I was thinking exactly that! How did he make it through. Just hearing this song makes me tear up.
Listen to If, Aubrey, Diary.
My dad passed away 18 years ago, and this song has me in tears. Love David Gates.❤
I know exactly how you feel.
27 years and still miss him
@@vickywillis521 I do understand! I was a Daddy's girl and I will always miss my Pops.
My dad has been gone for 18 years too. My eyes are getting watery as they always do when I hear this song!
My Father passed 9 years ago, this song speaks volumes.
Played this at my husband's wake. Tomorrow would have been our 39th wedding anniversary. This song has a special meaning for me.
Happy anniversary ❤❤
You definitely remind me that “True Love” definitely exists! God Bless!
He wrote it as a tribute to his father, but with just enough ambiguity that it could be interpreted by anyone for their own purpose. Perfect song, IMHO. The longing in his voice can't be faked
Bread is the early 70’s definition of “roast your heart” songs. David Gates’ fine tenor voice evokes such longing emotion in their songs. I’m so glad you’re exploring their tunes! I’d recommend “If” for your next listen!
David's voice is like warm syrup sweetness.
I'd forgotten about If... If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you... wow... instant recall.
Bread is kinda one of the hidden secrets of the 70's. With so much talent in that era, it's hard to stand out with mostly folk rock ballads, but they consistently did a great job of staying in that mix for many years. "Guitar Man" (don't think you've done it) should be next, and another example of just how good they were. I love that this channel delves into the softer side of 60's and 70's rock, because it was a very significant part of our culture.
Hidden secrets or guilty pleasures? This song is decent but they were pretty much one hit wonders.
@@Liofa73 How could they be one hit wonders if they had a multitude of hits. Something does not compute.
@@Liofa73 Bread a "one-hit wonder"? Good grief. That is the most wildly incorrect statement I've ever read on the A&A channel!
Bread had *six* Top Ten hits: "Make It With You" (#1 in 1970), "It Don't Matter to Me" (#10 in 1970), "If" (#4 in 1971), "Baby, I'm-a Want You" (#3 in 1971), "Everything I Own" (#5 in 1972), and "Lost Without Your Love" (#9 in 1979).
They also had four other Top Twenty hits that remain well-known to this day and still get oldies-radio airplay: "Diary" (#15 in 1972), "The Guitar Man" (#11 in 1972), "Sweet Surrender" (#15 in 1972), and "Aubrey" (#15 in 1973).
Bread a "one-hit wonder" ... man, that's gonna leave me shaking my head in disbelief for the rest of the day.
@@Liofa73 you obviously know nothing about this band. Few bands had as many hits as Bread did in the early to mid 70s.
A group of L.A. session musicians that came together and made an awesome group of their own - kind of like the history of The Eagles.
Bread is a really underrated band. Great mellow songs. If, Aubrey, Guitar Man, Baby I'm a want you. David Gates has a great voice.
Great choices, but Aubrey does sound a bit like this song.
@@JamesRea2 I respectfully disagree. If you compared Aubrey to If, I would concur. But not this song...
They tell stories through their music. Such great memories of listening to every song.
Stop the underated already.
Diary
This song will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Lost my Dad last year, my Mom the year before. Sitting hear quietly crying. Beautiful song that never hit me before like it did today.
💜❤️💚💙💛
A&A, you'll love their "Make It With You", "Guitar Man", "It Don’t Matter To Me" and many more!!
David Gates- one of the great soft rock voices!
You SOB, that's not remotely true
Ditto "It Don't Matter to Me", which few others have mentioned here at this point. The crescendo toward the end is fabulous. "Artists" of today don't understand/use dynamics anymore.
Don't be a jerk. David Gates is retired but very much alive and 82 years old as of today.
Just heard "It Don't Matter to Me" the other day. I always relish David Gates' voice. Bread doesn't have a bad song, IMO. Lyrics are always deep and make you think. Like "Diary." Nice twist!
@@patriciamorgan6545 Yes! That build to the crescendo is epic!
I lost my Dad 20 years ago and this song brings me to tears every time. RIP, Dad. ❤ And guys, you're young now, but cherish your time with your parents. They won't be with you forever.
AMEN!!!!
And be sure to thank them for everything they have done for you. My mom has been gone for 16 years, and my dad 14. Still miss them like crazy. I also list my sister 2 years ago, and my brother almost a year ago. I’m the last one left. For those of you who have spouses, don’t take them for granted either!!
This song gets me every time. Ever since it came out. I can’t make it through the song without tears..
Same! Just reading all the responses is making me cry again.
@@kimmatura3564 As soon as that first note starts it’s over.
@@kimmatura3564 me, too.
Song is about his dad. His dad had passed away while David was in bread.
70’s Singer/Songwriters are a Special Breed 👍🏻👍🏻
Or special bread?
Your next Bread tune should be "If". If you thought this was an A+, I'm guessing "If" will be your S tier song for them.
Apparently written about his (David Gates') dad. Next song to check out by them is IF. A gorgeous wistful love song that may cause goosebumps.
…”Aubrey” ❤️
My mother played this after my father's death, it gets me every time , thank you for this 💛
"Diary" is a really good Bread song, with a twist. Actually, Bread has many good ones.
It’s a parent, his father. My parents are both dead. It makes me cry every time. God, I miss them
I'm right there with ya. I miss my parents sooo much. 😢 This song hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it.
Me too. Every day I miss them.
Me too. I miss them so much 😢
Wow, Alex is remarkably perspicacious with the lyric interpretation here, especially about loss of the parent.. And I just picked up on the fact that the song is an advisory to other people. David was such an amazing song writer. Next is my personal favorite, "The Guitar Man."
You get extra credit for using perspicacious in a sentence lol! (I had to look that up in 7th grade and for some weird reason I still remember it)
If you don’t love this song, you’re not human. A great tribute to a lost parent. I play this often at acoustic solo gigs and open mics, and it translates perfectly, without all the additional instruments. People tend to respect it and usually either listen quietly, or sing along. Bread was a fantastic group, and this was them at their best! Cheers! 👊🎶❤
I bought a Bread album in a charity shop recently. Somewhat of a nostalgia trip. I was amazed to find myself loving it all over again as I did when I was 14!
I've missed my mom every day since she passed away in 2013. What a beautiful tribute to a lost parent. Thanks David Gates, and thanks A&A for the great reaction.
My Dad was a huge fan.. so grateful he introduced us to this magical music. ❤ Miss you, Daddy
Aw, geez, your "miss you Daddy" made me cry!
I lost my dad in 1983, when I was 19. He was only 53. My mom died in 2020, she almost made 90. You never completely get over it. I would give anything to have them both back.
My Dad will be gone 3 years this August. Thanks Dad for everything you did for us.
I just cried through this whole reaction. My beautiful husband died 3 months ago in an accident, only 42 years old, the love of my life. I know this song is meant for a parent, but it makes me think of him because the words just perfectly describe what his love did for my life, and I really would give anything to have him here again. At his funeral, this was one of the songs that played along with pictures of his life.
Thanks for reacting to this beautiful song, and take the words to heart. Life is so unpredictable.
Yikes, sorry about that. I don't think you or anyone has to apply this song based on the premise with which it was written. Other songs, it might not work as well, example: "Every Breath You Take". People were using this at their weddings. Odd for a song that's about a stalker.
So sorry for your loss. ❤🩹
I’m so sorry for your loss ♥️🌺
God bless you for sharing that immense loss is loss had a lot of it God bless and comfort you until you see him again!
AWESOME....one of the MOST talented dudes in ALL of Music was in this band, Larry Knechtel! He was also a member of the Wrecking Crew, he played bass in Bread and sometimes Guitar. He plays the INSANE slide guitar on GUITAR MAN. He also won a Grammy for composing & playing the opening piano on Bridge Over Troubled water....insanely humble and talented man!
Great song , i recently lost my dad , i lost my mom 20 yrs ago . This song played in my head both times . I saw Bread in 1978 , fantastic show . David Gates is an underrated guitarist and singer .
I lost my dad recently too. 😢❤
@@tracycampbell3060 Sorry for your loss .
@@michaelligue3842 thank you so much 🙏❤💥
I saw Bread in 1978 too! It was great, a dream come true.
@@julier.1902 I saw them atthe Arie crown theater in Chicago. Great show .
I loved this song as soon as I heard it but would never admit it to my fellow 12-year-old hard rock fans in 1972. 😊
Guitar Man is so good. Definitely a different vibe from most of their hits.
Bread was the best band ever at what was called “ soft rock” then …” Mother Freedom” was the one exception , as it rocked
Love this song. I miss my dad every day
Ah damn, I love these guys. I have to say I kind of wish you'd done "It Don't Matter to Me" first - it's like a secret banger that builds from this folky lyricism here into this emotional romp at the end - so great! but I guess you still have that to look forward to.
You were right when you said parent. Lead singer David Gates wrote this about the passing of his father. Great song, you can't go wrong with Bread. The whole loaf is great!
Great review, guys. Agree completely. Despite not being a romantic, Bread has always been a band I have loved over the decades. Try "If"...so sweet, but short at 2:33 minutes.
Every time I hear this song, I have to call my dad.
I can't think of a higher praise for a song like this.
Too hard to choose one, they don't have a bad song. "Guitar Man" would be a great choice for your next listen. Great reaction Gentleman ❤️ And yes, this song was written for his Dad.
I always loved this song. It came on the radio when I got back into my car after hearing my friends’s son had died about 5 hours prior. This always reminds me of her saying this to see her son again.
Oh, that is so sad.
IT DON'T MATTER TO ME is one of their best ❤
Bread has the most beautiful songs. You can listen to anything from them and not be disappointed.
I always think of my mother when I hear Bread. She loved them so much she was always hurrying to copy down the lyrics when they came on the radio. This was way back when they first came out.
So this way she could sing the songs the rest of the day doing her housework. She loved music so much. It’s funny you only appreciate these things about your parents after they’re gone.
Can't go wrong with Bread.
"Although initial listeners may have interpreted it as a song about a broken relationship, David Gates revealed that it was written in memory of his father who died in 1963 before he achieved his success with Bread. …at his father's funeral, a friend took David Gates aside and said, 'Your dad was so proud of what you were doing.' David agreed, 'My success would have been so special to him as he was my greatest influence. So I decided to write and record *Everything I Own* about him. If you listen to the words, You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, you gave my life to me, set me free, it says it all.' "
"If" and "Diary" are a couple of more in the same vein.
This song played in my head as we buried my mom in 2017. I cry every time I hear it and is on my playlist of favorite songs.
Its been 50 years since my grandfather was taken by a killer while driving a taxi.... and this song always reminded me of him and then my father, my hero passed away 8/9/04..... and this song really found a home.... mom passed 4 years later and that knocked me to my knees, not in a religious way..... but it was like all my life I was climbing a ladder and there was always someone... grandma, mom, dad... leading the way up the ladder and now all of a sudden there is no one up there.. and I am at the top ruing of the ladder and there was no where to go....
I wasn't crazy about Bread because I was into harder rock at the time, and also is a young piano player, by the time I was in seventh and eighth grade, I kind of got really tired of always being tapped to play the piano accompaniment for girls to sing the Bread song If, since it was such a popular thing to do back then. And that truly is a brilliant song.
However, this one got its hooks deeply into me and I still get emotional when I hear it. For some reason I associated it very strongly with my great-grandma, who died when I was in fourth grade and it made a huge impact on me, because we had a special bond and loved each other so much, a little boy and a woman in her late eighties. And I still think of her when I hear this song. It makes my heart ache, and as a songwriter and performer myself, that to me is the ultimate thing a song can do, is to affect someone emotionally.
The one song that can always make me cry as it makes me think of my mother. Just a beautiful song.
A classic and classy at the same time. We had the best music back then, and I think we knew it. Our biggest mistake was assuming quality of this sort would go on indefinitely. Thankfully, we didn't know what was coming.
Generous, sweet take on this great (& sometimes critically underrated) band. 🙂❤
P.S. To me "Bread" connotes home, warmth, companionship & manna/generosity from God. Cheers! 🍞🥂
This song came out a few months before my mother died. I can't listen to it without crying.
DUDES back in the seventies so many of us Hard Rock Fans had BREAD as our secret guilty pleasure.
David Gates voice pure butter
My Dad passed away a year ago this June. This song absolutely crushes me. I take from the song that it's a parent, or parent figure. I miss him everyday, every minute. We played this at his funeral. ❤
It was about his dad. 💔
I lost my dad last June and this sure hits hard on so many levels. I miss him like crazy but I can still sense his presence. Glad you guys covered this one. Thank you.
I didn't expect you guys to like this song so much. I love it! At least one of the band members was a former Wrecking Crew member. Try Guitar Man
For someone who's lost both parents (who were awesome) this hits hard. Mom's b-day was yesterday.
“You gave my life to me, set me free..set me free” should have been a big clue. My dad passed a few years back and this song always brings me back to him.😎
“You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm…” 😢
A partner can fit those lyrics too.
@@sukie584 a partner can’t give literal life to you. Your mom and dad can…biologically speaking.😎
@@WiseGuy5674 of course, but he doesn’t say that. You gave my life to me, set me free etc, could be the relief, the feeling of home, one feels with the right partner. I know it’s about his dad, but the lyrics could apply to other relationships.
@@sukie584 "You sheltered me from harm. Kept me warm..." sounds sappy if you think it's about a girlfriend. But it fits for a parent.
"If" and "Lost Without Your Love" are excellent by Bread as well. And both hit you in the heart.
Great reaction guys❤❤❤
Bread is the epitome of 70s soft rock. Sooo good. Definitely need to pull up Guitar Man for a little different vibe but still that 70s soft rock that gets me every time.
Yep, they were the best of that genre
I never appreciated Bread when they were big in the 70s, but I was a dumb teenager in those days who was more into the louder stuff. I appreciate them now! Make It With You and It Don't Matter To Me are terrific songs.
The story I heard about their group name was that when they first started out, they tried to come up with a good name, and their car happened to be behind a Wonder Bread truck, and one of them said, "Why don't we just call ourselves Bread?"
Funny. Someone said $. I thought, good thing they weren't called "Dough". Wonder Bread, that's great!😄
This used to be one of my favorite songs- but hard to get through since my parents passed
My parents were huge Bread fans in the 70s. Because of that, I became a David Gates fan. What a great singer songwriter.
This song never made me cry when I was young because I thought it was about losing a lover. I found out it was about losing his Dad and that changed everything for me. Lost my Dad when I was 16 and he was my world.
They were what I call “ monsters of soft rock”. 😅 So many great tunes from them; If, Make It With You, Aubrey, Baby I’m A Want You…
Absolutely beautiful song!
Great reaction!
I love you and miss you, dad!
☮️
I was too young - only 9 - to appreciate this song when it came out, but then grew to been blown away by it as I matured and experienced the loss of loved ones. Amazing.
There's a point in this song where both of them look like they were about to cry, and I wouldn't've blamed them. Bread hits you in the feels, man. 🥲🥲
I cannot listen to this song without tearing up with fond memories of my dad.💧💜
The break in Gates' voice in the first chorus on "I own" makes me cry. Every freakin' time. And I was around when this song was originally released.
Bread is such a great, underrated band from the 1970's. If you feel so inclined, check out "Guitar Man" and "Diary," the latter being a heartbreaking tale of stumbling onto the end of a relationship.
I miss you Mum. No child was ever so blessed to have had a mum love their child as much as my mum loved me.
"Mother Freedom" was Bread's one foray into "banger" territory. "Let Your Love Go" was probably their 2nd heaviest song. Both songs were Top 40 hits.
I never thought I'd hear Bread on this channel, but I am here for it. Had "Best of Bread" in my college dorm room and a girl was there once looking thru my record collection and pulled that one out, She commented to my dorm mate, who was known to have more of a lunkhead/misogynistic mentality, that he needed to open his mind to this (note that I had plenty of hard rock, funk, etc. albums in my collection at the time too).
Another of those bands we were too cool to admit we liked back then but can fully appreciate now.
David Gates has an amazing voice
it was a tribute to his Pops who passed young
David Gate's put so much meaning in every song he wrote. He was so deep!
My Dad was my best friend. I miss him dearly.
Thanks, Andy! Thanks, Alex! 💎 I love this one! I hope you'll react to their song "If" someday. #AndyAndAlex #Bread #EverythingIOwn
Alex, should have just trusted yourself and did S-tier!! Fell in love with this song when I was in college after hearing it the first time. Only becomes more meaningful after marrying and having children then grandparents no longer with you.... the ebb and flow of life. David Gates is a poet who will take your heart to places you didn't realize where in you.
According to the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, at his father's funeral, a friend took David Gates aside and said, "Your dad was so proud of what you were doing." David agreed by replying, "My success would have been so special to him as he was my greatest influence. So I decided to write and record Everything I Own about him. If you listen to the words, 'You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, gave my life to me, set me free,' it says it all."
Bread has a lot of beautiful songs. Thanks for appreciating them
I love this band so much, their songs are so touching. I got tears listening because I lost my Dad to cancer when I was 17 years old. And I'd truly give anything to have him back. Being 17, I didn't understand and didn't know how to grieve but it's been hitting me hard lately. I've had so many dreams about him which some say is our loved ones checking on us. The lyrics are so close to home for me, I did learn so much watching my Dad, I was a Daddy's girl. If he told me something wasn't safe I believed him. I can't imagine how a parent feels knowing they have to leave their kids because of fucking cancer. It's so harsh. If you haven't already heard "Guitar Man", I high recommend. Thanks guys, God bless, I appreciate all you do❤.
Beautiful expression of self reflection and appreciation. David missed his Dad, and told us all we should cherish who we still have.
I lost my Dad overnight to a massive heart attack in 1972 when I was 17... the same year this song came out. My connection to this song now has spanned 50 years.
Thanks for hitting David Gates and Bread. It is a powerful song, no matter how you take it, as a parent or other loved one. You need to appreciate the ones you love, all my family is gone and I would love to touch them... once again. Go S Alex. Your next one should be Guitar Man, the story of the aging musician, and a song that just keeps getting better through the years.
I’ve never been more proud of you. This was my song. Heartbreaking. First as the aftermath of a goodbye of a teen crush that liked me more than I did them. Lastly as how I feel after losing my dad, which was what it was written about. Tears me up beautifully.
Normally, I can't listen to this song without crying, as it reminds me of my mother who passed away in 2016. But I wanted to see your reaction. It makes my heart happy that you love it.
nothing smoother than Bread the epitome of soft rock. They were on all the radios.
I love Bread. I saw them in concert a million years ago, give or take. So good. Gordon Lightfoot does a song in a similar vein If You Could Read My Mind
You're absolutely tight....that's a beautiful song for review on this channel.
@@lisamonderewicz2832 - Rick Beato does an absolutely superb deep dive into the song. It’s incredible. So good that Whitney Houston’s writers stole 28 measures from it for “The Greatest Love Of All”.
I lost my parents recently (in 2019 and 2021) and this is a shot in my heart now. But when the song was released in the 70’s, I always thought about a girlfriend I had. A classic no doubt! ✌️
One of those songs that makes you cry and still you have to hear it over and over.
David Gates is a treasure.
This is a pretty song. I had this album when I was in junior high (middle) school. Their next song I think you absolutely need to react to is GUITAR MAN. ✌️❤️
When I was in my teens, I was really into electronic, prog, and generally harder stuff (ELP, Jethro Tull, Yes, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, Uriah Heep, etc.). The significant exceptions to that were Cat Stevens and Bread, both producers of relatively gentle Pop music. The Bread song "Diary" remains an all time heart-wrenching personal favorite.
"Diary" I believe is written in the key of D minor...it makes one weep instantly. 😉👍
@@bojangles713 "Diary" is in G major.
@@folkmusic99 I didn't know the key....I was making a Spinal Tap reference..which "Nigel Tufnel" uttered these words ..lol.. hopefully you've seen it...but you must be a folkie...which is cool 👍
@@bojangles713 Sorry I didn't get the Spinal Tap reference, since I haven't seen it. I felt I had to comment to protect all the guitar players out there who might try to play "Diary" in a minor key. :) Yes, definitely a folkie -- huge fan of Pete Seeger, Melanie and Tom Rush, among many.
@@folkmusic99 hey its okay... oh man you have to view "Tap"...you dont have to be a rocker to appreciate it n howl w/laughter.😂 I should have referenced Tap in my initial comment w/its biting sarcasm.Thanks for the correction tho ..Diary is a beautiful song n def promotes tears in my eyes. ...Every single time..but I love it ! I see you love the heavyweights in folk ...Pete Seeger...and the like... Rock Well 🤘
I called them white bread back in the day. They were a hit making machine and this song was a hit. There was so much hard rock and progressive rock in the early 70s. Bread kinda got lost among the groups with a harder edge. I appreciate Bread much more now as I have grown older.
Count this 70 year old in the crying group. 😢 Just a beautiful song.
Probably the obligatory Bread song to go to from here would be “If”. “Baby-I’m-a-want-you” and “make it with you” are also good choices. When it comes to romantic “mood music”, some of the best stuff ever written.
Bread is definition of soft rock. For one of their more rocking numbers, try "Mother Freedom" and "Let Your Love Go".
