    The lead singer, David Gates, wrote this song for his father, who died before David achieved success.
    One of their best songs is "If"

      The song hits so much harder when you know it is about his father.

      ​@@telynns8490 You are so right. I had always thought it was about a lost lover relationship until I saw them in concert back in the 70's. David Gates talked to the audience a bit between songs and told us that it was written about his father that passed away. It's funny how you can think a song is about one thing and it can be about something else entirely, but the lyrics can make sense for both. My parents were both alive back then so it didn't hit me as hard as it does now when I hear it.

    I am a child of the 1970s...i came into adulthood in the mid-seventies...Bread was as important to me as was The Carpenters, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and Led Zeppelin. Beautiful music always moves you emotionally... never be ashamed of those emotions. It shows you're human.

    Bread is one of those bands that does not get the recognition that they really truly deserve. They have always been one of my favorites since I was a young girl in the 70's. They just did not do enough music.

    As a sappy teen I would play “Bread” songs over and over. Singing along and bemoaning my life. Sometimes one needs to wallow to go forward. “Bread” helped me do that emotionally.

    I’m almost 59 years old. I’ve heard this song almost forever but I never thought it might be about parents. I always presumed it was about a lover that had been lost. I lost my Dad when I was 19 and my Mom when I was 22. So now you got me bawling like a baby and, you know, that’s OK. Thank you for your perspective; it really has opened my eyes and touched my heart profoundly. I will hear this song differently forever. Thank you. I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😉🙏🏻

    You nailed it. This song is about his dad. It hits me hard as well. I lost both of my parents 11 days apart, 3 years ago, my mom to Alzheimer's, my dad to Covid. I miss them both, but my mom especially, because we talked every day until Alzheimer's made her forget how to use the phone. This is such a good reaction. This is my first time watching one of your reactions. It won't be the last.

And now I am providing care for the friend who kept me sane after I lost my family because she has dementia. So I loose more of her every day. All I can do is pray for the strength to keep keeping on and the ability to take care of my responsibilities. God bless you and everyone who is struggling.

    My niece and I performed this at my Mothers funeral. When she couldn't continue, I took over the vocals, and soon everyone in the congregation joined in to finish the song. This is what we used to call, back in the 60's and 70's, "A happening". A moment that will stay with me forever.

    It is so funny. My Sweetie and I were watching reaction videos and I said to him,I don't think I have ever seen anyone react to the group Bread. My all time fav older group. I'm 60 and I remember my brothers playing their songs then I loved them and still have the 45 record with "If" on one side & "Everything I Own" on the other in my hope chest. Then I looked and saw you did a reaction to this song. My tears flow like a river because I lost my Dad in 1996 & then my Mom in 2022. My Sweetie lost his Dad in 2014 and his Mom 2023. I was just crying yesterday because I and my Sweetie are going thru serious health struggles and I just wanted to talk to my Mom so so bad. She was the only one who has known me forever and gave me life while almost losing hers in the process. Now turning 60 this year and not having a parent at all is rough & you have regrets regardless. My Mom and I spoke everyday and each night we called each other to say one was going to bed and that we loved each other. I still sometimes will grab the phone at 10pm and say,I'm going to call my Mom to tell her goodnight and I Love her but then it hits me all over again.
    If ya still have parents alive,don't take one day for granted. Call them,text them,send them cards,letters,funny notes,flowers when can or if ya live close,stop by,visit with them at least weekly,take them out to eat or take them a meal & eat with them. Just be with them as much as ya can because life is short and getting old gets lonely too for so many.
    Thank you for this reaction.❤ Blessings from SC 🙋‍♀️👍❤️✝️

      @@danbreuer Cool! Yeah, I was never a concert goer myself, preferred listening away from crowds but a friend bought these tickets that included backstage passes and I was at the right place right time. After the concert though when going backstage and my friend and I seeing David Gates walk over, I was nervous. He was super nice. Chatted a little then he asked if we wanted to go upstairs to meet the band but me being a Christian and young, all sorts of sordid things I imagined would happen should I go....lol...
      But I politely said no, I just came to hear the songs and had to go. David I'm certain understood my unease. He just smiled and like I said, such a real gentleman. Now I kick myself for not thinking about grabbing a camera...

    I'm not surprised so many of the "Reactors" have never heard of the bands, the songs & singers & songwriters of the 1960's & '70's . . They were so amazing and abundant it blows my mind. I had a "cover" band from 1965 - 1975 in Southern Cal. (I was frontman/singer, played guitar & keyboards) We played 5 hours a night 6 Days a week, and when I look at our old play lists & how many songs & bands we covered as a trio or quartet each week it still Blows my mind. . but I count myself as fortunate to have experienced the 1950's, '60's & 70's musical scenes in my teens- twenty's & thirty's . . I'm 83, still "experiencing" some of the new musicians on CZcams! They give me hope for the future of music!

    I had this song on repeat in my teens. Recorded it off the radio onto cassette. Ah the memories.

    I am crying listening to this with you. My mom passed Feb 2023 from an anyurism. I was there for her last breathe. I kissed her forehead and said “it’s not goodbye, it’s goodbye for now”.

    I was introduced to Bread in the 80’s by a b/f, and I just cried because it hit my soul deeply. I love all their music.
    I, too had a beautiful childhood with wonderful parents and miss them both so much.
