  • Recorded 'Live in Concert' for the BBC, airing in the UK during January 1972. Although he was a member of BREAD at the time, this was a solo performance and neither Jimmy Griffin, Mike Botts nor Robb Royer made the journey across the Atlantic with him for this one...

      I’m also 65. I’m listening to Bread songs because I’m really depressed. I for some reason need to be more sad. The group with the saddest songs are Bread. I choke up just listening to David Gates sing them. If I really want the works, it’s got to be Diary. The last verse rips my heart out every time. I’m going through that now after 37 years.

    And it don't matter to me
    If you take up with someone who's better than me
    'Cause your happiness is all I want
    For you to find peace your piece of mind
    Lotta people have an ego hang-up
    'Cause they want to be the only one
    How many came before it really doesn't matter
    Just as long as you're the last
    Everybody's moving on and try to find out
    What's been missing in the past
    It don't matter to me
    If your searching brings you back together with me
    'Cause there'll always be an empty room waiting for you
    An open heart waiting for you, time is on my side

    It don't matter to me

    1970: this remains my favorite Gates/Bread song. He wrote and arranged it twice; for the first group LP in 1969, and made it slower, lowered the key and added strings when they needed a second single to follow "Make It with You" in 1970. A master singer, songwriter, arranger and conductor. For Debbie; in my mind that room's still there for you, though I know you'll never return. Be at peace.

      Jose, I agree. The 70s was a great time as far as music. 1971, I was 16yrs old and in high school and in love. Two years later I joined the United States Marine Corps in 1973. Again the 70s were great, a 15 yr old in 1970, to a young adult. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.

    Grew up in the 70s. I never discovered his work until now. I did hear the popular song from Bread that he wrote with Jimmy Griffin. But, when Meat Loaf passed is when I decided to look who Bread was. David Gates was and is the Bomb. A good family man didn't party all the time like industry people. The same wife, his childhood sweetheart. I respect that. He has an incredible catalogue as well. He's not the eccentric type and show savvy he's not. But,a genius Singer songwriter he is for sure. He is retired I heard. But, he is still with us do far for a reason.

    As a huge BREAD fan, ( the greatest soft rock group of ALL time ! ), this is my very favorite and takes me right back to high school ! I would play this song over and over and over.

    I believed so much in this song when I was a kid....I tried to use the lyrics to get my parents back together...or, at least talking again. I distinctly remember my mum questioning me, "Do you think I haven't considered all of this before?" I felt a fool and so naive. What she said was true and what David Gates sang was also true.....to an extent. Relationships are more complex than a Bread song yet somehow.....not so beautiful. Gotta hand it to David here. Damn! I LOVE THIS SONG!!

    This Song❤ Came out one year later. That FIT of a Very Special Girlfriend. Who I had lost in the Summmer of 1970. I didn't hold on losely. Got to serious to quick. Now in 1971 I was a Senior in high school. I seen Linda in the hall way, and asked Her. If She would sign my year book of 71. She Did. It was very touching to my heart tenderly of what She wrote. This Very Touching Song. Came out in that year and time. STILL HOLDS TRUE. Of This SONG AND LINDA sigh😢 Now being 2024. As Tulsa, Oklahoma was only 16 miles away. From a little town and high school of Kiefer, Oklahoma.
