This came from the era of peace and love. My wife of 42 years has always and will continue to be the love of my life. This came out when we were dating. We would sit in my 69 chevelle ss with the doors open listening to the 8track. Vowing to love one another to the end of time. We are still going strong with no end in sight. Love you sweetie 4 ever and always..😘😍

David Gates is one of those songwriters that got noticeably better over the years. There was a bit of jealousy in the band because he got all of the hits, but let's face it...he wrote the better songs. 'I Want To Make It With You', 'It Don't Matter To Me', 'Everything I Own' (about his deceased dad), 'Diary', 'Aubrey' (which I can't listen to without tears), 'Guitar Man', etc.

There isn’t a bad song by Bread, “AUBREY” is the reason for so many babies being named Aubrey, “GUITAR MAN”, “EVERYTHING I OWN” (written about his father) “DIARY”....

[@connieleighton4375]

Bread made some of the most beautiful songs ever...♡

[@ExarKenneth71]

MRM is on a Roll tonite. Yes your doing Bread, This Band is a deep mine and your just now have started scrapping the Surface.

[@shyman99]

This song can be best described as a poem set to music. My English teacher in the 70's had our class focus on the poem, not the music. But so very powerful with music. This is especially evident at the point where Gates sings, "If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die, I'd spend the end with you". I think you missed the power of the words in this song. As a kid, I know I missed it when I first heard it in 1971. But my oh my, does this song ever mean so much more to me once I allowed the words to drive.

[@FlamingCockatiel]

This song is a challenge to sing but so worth it. I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you listened kinetically. A song from the same group but with a different mood is Dismal Day. It describes some big parts of my life, and I am impressed with just how high Gates gets on it.

[@julieivers7375]

Bread, one of my favourite all time bands, who sound as good today as they did then! Worth seeing live if you get the chance!

[@aprilsutterfield3635]

I first heard this song when I was 6. It was played at the end of a Hardy Boys show when Shaun Cassidy's character got heartbroken by a dumb girl! He was walking alone sad on the beach and they played this song. I asked who sang that song and from then until now I've been a huge fan! My pastor growing up also loved Bread he'd go around his house singing Diary and Aubrey! Coolest pastor I've ever know! Much love JCJ!!

First of all, I can't stop watching your videos. I've been watching for hours. Secondly, I canNOT believe I found a reaction to this song on KZbin. Amazing. My mother always sang this to me as a baby/child, and for some reason, I always get misty eyed when I hear it.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Thank you for this great reaction to a timeless beautiful song :) . "Everything I own" is another Bread song that deserves a listen. He wrote it for his Father

[@gyloir]

David Gates had amazing songwriting skills. He wrote a ton of great songs, Guitar Man is probably Bread's most famous song, then he had others like Aubrey (my personal favorite), The Goodbye Girl (his biggest solo hit, which was made for the movie of the same name), Suite Clouds and Rain, among others.

[@celiagorleski2716]

I think "If" was their biggest hit. Aubrey was one of my favorites. In colege I thought I would like to name a daughter Aubrey.

[@Isleofskye]

I assume, my friend, that you are American because here in England their greatest hits were "Make It With You " ( which is in my All-Time Top 20 Songs since buying my first record in 1960 ) and " If". and " Baby I'm A Want You " and " Everything I own" ....:)

[@celiagorleski2716]

@@Isleofskye Ironically, I bought my first record about 1960. It was The Twist by Chubby Checker. I don't think Bread put out a song I didn't like.

My first record was either Blue Moon by The Marcels or Are You Lonesome Tonight by Elvis both in 1960 at 6 years of age. I didn't realise "The Twist" was a cover by Chubby Checker :)

[@celiagorleski2716]

@@Isleofskye Hank Ballard originally recirded it but the words were considered sexual and it never went anywhere. Chubby Checker put a dance to it and it was his biggest hit. He followed it up with "Let's Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer.. Over here you'd hardly find anyone who has heard of Hank Ballard and Chubby Checker is considered the only one to sing it and not a cover.

"Diary" by Bread is a great song about love and loss. It's about a man who finds his wife's diary and starts to read about himself (he thinks), and then he realizes that it's totally different from what he thought.

For a time, every night when we went to bed we would put them on the record player - you could stack them, when one finished the next would drop - and fall asleep to Bread crooning; first the fast side then the slow side.

I miss those days. We didn’t drink or do drugs. We just hung out together and had a lot of good times. I no longer live in the same area. I have not seen him in a while. I might try some time this summer to stop by and see him. He met this girl a couple of years later and they got married and have been together ever since. I am married to but it took me a while to find the right person. I have been married for thirty-seven years. They have been by far the best years of my life. I got really really lucky.
