BREAD It don't matter to me REACTION - Beautiful harmonies beautiful song - First time hearing

[@tommyudo3195]

Beautiful song, beautiful sentiment.

Davis Gates has one of the best falsettos of any singer ever

DAVID.

He has a tenor/high tenor voice, not falsetto.

[@jumeir]

ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS EVER STAND ON 1973.ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND.

[@carolcoker9862]

I loved them in the 70s and still do!!! Their songs make me smile and cry at the same time ❤

[@John_Locke_108]

Great song. Bread wrote so many beautiful sad songs.

[@bryanforis1839]

This was rapping of day and live they no how play good

[@mtngrl5859]

This is definitely the ethos of the early 1970's, not having any judgements or demands in a relationship. It was a pure kind of love, wanting what was best for each person, realizing if they were meant to be in your life, they would be there, if not then one wished the best for them.

[@charlesbishop4000]

For some reason, this simple melody is probably my favorite Bread song. It is so sad and beautiful. Creatively describing what many of us have experienced.

[@magneto7930]

I think it's my favorite as well, which is a tough call to make since they have so many beautiful songs. But this one seriously moves me emotionally.

[@robertlathe2165]

One of my favorite groups!

[@Keedeeg]

Few things were sweeter than the soft pop that Bread released and the sound of David Gates' voice. ❤❤❤

[@lindasalvaterra1304]

Yes Bread had a string of hits that were so beautiful!

[@The5thGen]

Absolutely love this song!

[@daudder]

The band people don’t want to admit they like. Really great, infectious songs…

[@wildbill7081]

hahaha yeah your so right I love Hard Rock and so do all my friends but Bread and David Gates is also one of my favorite

[@sandrapeters6064]

At the time they were considered a "guilty pleasure." I didn't care what others thought, I thought they were great. But, then again, I was a Kinks fan in a Beatles and Stones world, so I was used to being called odd.

[@jonbrooks5246]

Yes- very underrated group!

[@judileeming1589]

❤️ them. Bought my first ever Concert ticket to see them perform back in 1965.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

This song is so sad but so beautiful. Bread was one of the first groups my sister and I loved. It took us a long time to save the money but I think The Best of Bread was the first album we actually bought ourselves.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Another great one written by David Gates ❤

[@Martin.Wilson]

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be. We really believed that back in the day. The Age of Aquarius made philosophers of us all.

[@lindasalvaterra1304]

I always forget about this song. It's one of their best!

[@JoseGalvez-hq8pg]

To me David Gates is one of the greatest singer, songwriter of his time. I was so impressed so inspired I too became a music songwriter.

[@dharma__3]

Yes, HarriBest, David is very, very magnanimous. You should listen to more of Bread, especially "Everything I Own" about his father.

[@pncombies]

@dharma_3 Harri should listen to more of Bread? 🤔😛 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoHFdWiohpdneZIsi=9Gndro_vTzQieg7d kzbin.info/www/bejne/imbKgnSleZt4h5osi=1FEgKPMg1MhBiI_Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHethH95q9Clja8si=ZrX9lt99x4zwBZZF kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqHQkmiGZr2oa9Esi=ScYF2r-WMfkP-8zw kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaDWdamajpKta6Msi=TQoJN3d7FyWWpKKA kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ_aaomFd82jmacsi=kL9fjDZ4cHqe1NWU

[@nicholasferrara7299]

This song cuts so deep! It was a big hit at the time my girlfriend had broken up with me. It was playing one morning on my way to work and I spotted my Ex with her new boyfriend in a car just ahead of me! Cut me to my damn core!

[@pncombies]

Sorry, brother...I can only imagine! I hope you have moved on and found your true love! All the best - Neal

David Gates and Bread. They were sooo good and loaded with huge hits. Suggested by none other than my brother...PNCombies. Thanks to you and Harri. Such a beautiful song. 👍👍👍

[@pncombies]

Always a pleasure, Imadrummin...thank you for your kind words!

[@gl15col]

Being too possessive of another person is a trap for you as well. This is true love, not the need to control and possess, very beautiful and joyous.

Another unforgettable tune, Bread only released high quality songs with strong writing, playing and harmonies.

[@danielvolk237]

Great selection PNCombies my friend. My favorite group of the late sixties snd seventies . David Gates was pure genius. His bandmate and co -writer the late great James Griffin was a fantastic artist himself but always stuck in Davids shadow. David is retired and the other three are all dead sadly. 😢 Great reaction Harri

[@pncombies]

Daniel -- Thank you, brother!

[@teddybissell7512]

I love Bread and David Gates but Jimmy Griffin was great too. He was just a little unlucky. David and Jimmy had a deal that whoever wrote and sang the song got a lions share of the profits on each single. I read that James thought the record companies weren’t pushing his songs enough and David wouldn’t change the deal so they split.

[@PaulRoehl-fi1iw]

Bread's hit records are my favorite in the Soft Rock genre. Such a pleasing sound, interesting lyrics, great lead vocals, and the music is never boring

[@traceycater]

I feel that way about The Bee Gees earlier music. Absolutely loved bread.

Some of my friends and I had just graduated highschoo summer 71 l in Hyde Park and drove up to a week of amazing concerts at Sarasota Performing Arts Center in the Adirondacks. Poco, Chicago and Bread were all wonderful. I'll always treasure this song.

[@marybaillie8907]

From the 1970 album, " Bread", one of David Gate's masterpieces. David's songwriting shines through with a gentle melody and lyrics speaking of unconditional love. The mellow guitar riffs and harmonious vocals, a perfect example of the bands artistry and enduring power of a well crafted melody. Quintessential Bread perfection. Great reaction Harri.❤ Beautiful choice Neal, a favourite. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

Such a beautiful song! The music from this period was amazing and timeless! Try listening to Everything I own by them. Another beautiful piece.

[@jerrypost9651]

Yep, it's a gorgeous song. This was their second single, coming right on the heels of their epic first hit, "Make it with You." It had a very different vibe, displaying the range of this new group. And people flocked to it, establishing the chaps as a band that folks would be reckoning with for quite some time.

[@cwb8047]

Bread, never really toured. They were studio musicians. But my goodness. Their music is so beautiful. My wife and I used to listen to them all the time. Im so glad you found them

I'm a rock n' roller goin' way back. For years I owned a vintage and tock guitar store in Boston. There was a bit of an attitude towards Bread as being on the wimpy side. I didn't share that attitude. And with good reason, as this video proves. David and his mates sound great on this beautiful song. Loved your reaction.

[@catherinedorney6092]

❤❤❤

[@donnakubiski5572]

Thanks for the reaction. This is one of my favorite Bread songs. I have always and still do love to sing along with songs as I'm listening to them. I remember being so happy when I was able to finally remember those three fast lines of lyrics in the middle of the song. For a change of pace I would like to recommend "Down On My Knees". It's another side of Bread showing that they can also rock out. James Griffin the guitar player sings lead and it has some awesome drumming by Mike Botts. I keep recommending it on the reaction channels that I watch and no one has reacted to it yet so I will keep trying.

[@timetravellingone]

Great song, hope you're staying safe there from what I'm seeing it looks like Britain is coming undone. Visited London in the 80's and always wanted to return but now not so sure.

This is soooo beautiful. Goosebumps all over. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🙋‍♀️👍

[@andercert70]

It's the drummer that's bringing the funk. I don't know how to express it, it's finesse. This is the single version which was a rerecording. On their first album they had a session drummer and he did not have that finesse. It's much less funky. It's striking how much it effects the song honestly, I really miss the groove. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHYl3-DirykoMU Here's a song, I doubt anyone else will suggest. Ride-a-Mile by Donovan.

pncombies Thanks, and I agree it's nice to see the band, not just the cover. Not sure why you removed the comment. Cheers

[@pncombies]

@@bkm2797 I came across as sarcastic and your comment didn't warrant that. I felt it was inappropriate of me to take a dig at you. I apologize and I'm sorry you saw it. I am very selective when choosing a video and a song, or a live performance. This was my second Bread selection ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHethH95q9Clja8si=-3B8H-atockd9W-S ) and Harri has reacted to most all of their pretty ballads. This gem was burning a hole in a playlist I have for potential selections. I wasn't sure if Harri had ever seen Gates and the boys despite reacting to many of their songs so this was an easy choice. Thanks for the kind words...all the best!

[@bkm2797]

pncombies, I have copies of comments sent to my gmail, and I have to say I was thinking this comment may have a negative tone, but so you know, it wasn't at all to insult the group, it was just me remembering how common this was back in those days. Thank you for your honesty, and for recommending the tune to Harri. Cheers

Comon Harri., Catchy !! bit of an insult.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Another beautiful David Gates / Bread melody and performance .. I do like it, but feel that the title does not quite ring true to me .. If the singer REALLY loved the woman, then it WOULD matter to him if she passed him over for another guy, or if she were to later happily return to him.. Yes, he may genuinely want her to be happy, but to say it doesn't matter to him what she chooses would just not be accurate .... I reckon he should have called the song something like "Wish It Could Have Been Me", and slightly re-written the lyrics to say that it is indeed very painful for him that this woman he loves deeply has rejected him for another, but that in the end he honestly wants whatever will make her the happiest and he will respect and try to understand her decision .. I know David Gates is a great songwriter, but these are just my thoughts .. Still a good song.

[@michaelasay8587]

Harri, why do you have to pause and talk so much thru these great songs 😢😢😢

[@pncombies]

He pauses as do 99% of the reactors. By doing so the song is no longer being played in its original form. Notice the Uno Game and Harri's books in the background; all the titles are backwards. The video has been reversed. This was all by design to avoid having his channel shut down by YT. 3 strikes and you're out!!
