WE LOVE THEM!| FIRST TIME HEARING BREAD - Everything I Own REACTION

This song is unusual in that it is about losing a parent ( as David Gates did with his dad). When you realize that, it becomes even more powerful.

I played this on guitar at my mothers funeral, with my niece on vocals. When she broke down and couldn't finish, the entire congregation began to sing.....one after another until the whole gathering was singing this 70's love ballad purely from memory. It will always be one of the favorite moments of my life.

I know he wrote this about his father, but I played this at my mum’s funeral. Such powerful lyrics, and one of my parent’s favourite bands. Miss you mum…..

Bread has been my favorite band for fifty years since I was in college. Three years ago, my wife and I went to the cemetery on a Sunday afternoon to change out the flowers on her parent's graves. When we got back in the car after changing out the flowers, this song came on the radio. We went home, had dinner and went to bed. The next morning, right after I left for work, my wife died suddenly from a massive heart attack. I never got to say goodbye, didn't get to tell her how much I loved her. I always go all to pieces when I hear this song.........while watching this video I cried through most of it.....

David Gates/Bread said he actually wrote for his Father who passed before Bread made it big. Such a beautiful love!

Bread, The Eagles, Chicago, America..... all fantastic soft rock in the 70's......

I'm 57 years old and you know how HAPPY it makes me feel to see these real and authentic reactions from the younger generations to a song from a group like Bread??...SO COOL!!!

Could be the most beautiful song ever written!!!!!

My dad passed away on April 22 of this year. With this song, no truer words can apply to how I feel right now. RIP Dad, until we meet again.

Pure gold.. His voice and Karen Carpenter's voice, it doesn't get any better! We had great music in the 70s. It was a great decade I grew up in. Can you check out, I Got A Name by Jim Croce..

I can't listen without crying... anyone who looses someone special can relate... the older I get the more real this song truly is...thank you both for this one ...thumbs up, yep and Amen.

I am 64 years old so I was a teenager in the 70's. Listening to your reactions of Bread is just great and brings back so many memories. My taste in music ran from Led Zeppelin to Boston to Pink Floyd to Bread. It still does. We had such great music back then and love when you react to these classic artists and songs.

This song is so good. This was written when his Dad died.

My dad died young, and our family was never the same, so this song means alot to me.

My older sister loved “Bread.” She died at age 31. I’m now twice her age. I miss my sister. 💔

Aw Amber, I wish I could take you back to that time. It was a beautiful time. This was one of the first "grown up" bands I listened to, and they changed me forever. I would give everything to carry the world back to that gentle time.

J & Amber, you'll love their "Make It With You", "Baby I'm-A Want You", and "It Don't Matter To Me" !! David Gates on lead vocals, best soft rock male voice!

Lost my dad way back in the 70s when I was 11, and this song really hits home. One Saturday morning, he asked me to take a ride with him to the store, but I was too busy watching cartoons. He said to me, "One day I won't be around to take you places anymore." He died that night. Lesson learned. My mom is now gone as well, so this hits me doubly so today. 💕❤

Bread is one of my favorite bands of all time. I am a child of the 70's. It was so much more laid back than today. The songs of Bread and other soft rock/easy listening bands reflect that feeling. Pure, simplicity and uncomplicated. No cell phones, internet, computers, MTV, reality TV. Of course, I was much younger then. I think both of you would have loved the era.

A lot of us 80’s kids were raised on 50’s, 60’s and 70’s music. After my mom passed this song makes me cry everytime I sing it! Folk musicians and soulful songs of the time are so optimistic!
