Beautiful song, classic from the 70's. David Gates wrote this about his father who had passed away without knowing David's success

[@donaldcostamagna9811]

Omgosh I consider this one of the most beautiful songs ever made!!!

[@francismedina4547]

Yes, a touching tribute to anyone who lost a loved one, in this case, the singer’s dad 😭

[@bernie4366]

I was going to make a similar comment. This song applies not just to old lovers, but parents, children, friends that have moved on to the other side. Gone forever, and you suddenly realize that everything you have doesn't really mean as much as you thought it did.

[@rubbersole79]

I played this on guitar at my Mom's funeral with my niece on vocals. When she broke down and could not continue, I began to sing ( as loudly as I could, with no mic) when one by one, the entire congregation joined in and finished the rest of the song, amazingly, knowing all the words. A very special memory for me.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Wow...just wow....

[@csutton161]

Thank you for sharing this. When my dad passed away, the pastor didnt show up for the funeral, so after family members said a few words, my brother and a couple of cousins started playing "I'll fly away", singing and playing guitar. WOW, after about 5 minutes, EVERYONE started singing along, to the point that my brother stopped playing the guitar, and we were all just singing. I thought for a minute we were about to have a revival! lol...What a send off for my dad, and knowing his sense of humor and LOVE of music, he was LOVING it.

[@ddiamondr1]

Wow. Thank you for sharing that.

[@wendyryder2708]

OMG! SO sorry for your loss! You just made me cry! Love David Gates and Bread! When ever I hear Amazing Grace, I cry, because we sang it at my mum’s funeral 15 and a half years ago! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.

[@kenhoyer8601]

Man, thats like playing taps!

[@philosopher0076]

David wrote this song about his father who passed away relatively young. Not a love song to a girlfriend or former wife, but to parent lost.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their “Make It With You", "Baby I'm-a Want You", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man"!!! Been a while since you reacted to them(‘If”), but David Gates has a memorable voice!

When I found out this song was about his father, it took on so much more meaning. I tear up every time I hear it now.

[@gettoyourpointagosta8539]

The older we get, the faster they go. In eight months I lost my husband of 48 years, my son and my Dad. I am not special or unusual, but I know what others are going through. Old age is not hilarious.

Always remember my mom, that is already in the Heaven. Miss her so much!!! God bless you, mom! Wherever you are. 🙏♥️😢

[@thegorn68]

David Gates is a master songwriter, especially love songs. Not just romantic love either. In this case, the love a child has for a parent.

[@jacqueline4514]

I used to like this song for the “sound” of it; the meaning of the song never hit me until I lost my father (he was too young) in 2014: now, it crushes me.

[@ricknbacker5626]

IMHO, this is as close to perfection as a song can get. One of my all time favorites. A timeless classic. Every listen is as the first. Wonderful reaction Asia and BJ, RNB

[@johnthegreek5836]

Bread, David Gates has such a great voice, in the 70’s as we were punk teenage kids, guys never admitted that we liked Bread but damn I appreciate their music now

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

Oh my goodness, it's one of my favorites by this group. Brings back so many memories of the 70's for me. It was a difficult time. I cry when I hear this song! My ex-husband diserted me and our 3 children. Hard times for us. It made me strong and determined to survive. We did 55 yrs later. He passed away in 2007. I lost my oldest son to bone cancer in 2018. ❤😢

[@Chris.Davis.2]

Bread made some beautiful songs, soft Rock stars 🌟

[@mitziesanders9840]

Beautiful reaction. I was blessed to see Bread in the late ‘70’s. I love to see reactions because it not only reminds me of how great the song was but allows me to experience it through someone else’s eyes and appreciate it all the more.

[@karenlong5616]

I lost my Dad a couple of years after this song came out and to this day, I can't listen to it without crying. It is a beautiful song.

[@roberttompkins6489]

I heard this song a thousand times growing up--but now being older the import of this song is so much more powerful. Timeless classic.

[@johneldridge8678]

Such a great reaction. I think just about every one of us has that regret of taking someone for granted and regretting it later, after they've left. What a beautiful song, emotional. Everyone can relate to it. Bread is an incredible group. Keep diving into them. You've just scratched the surface.

[@danielfardella1622]

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up listening to the soft rock music of Bread in the 70's & had their albums. Love David Gates voice. He has one of the most soothing & mellow voices. They had so many hits such as "If", "Make It With You", "Baby I'm-a Want You", "Diary", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man", "Sweet Surrender" & "Aubrey". In 1978, Gates enjoyed success as a solo artist with the hit singles "Goodbye Girl" (from the movie The Goodbye Girl) & "Took The Last Train".

[@donaldbeard6231]

I lost my precious mother 10 years ago and when she took her last breath I thought I was gonna die also. Never thought you could feel such pain. And yes this song can be about any loved one. And yes dearest mother I still Miss You.

David Gates the lead singer of this band is from Tulsa my home and I went to school with his nephew. That song hits me hard because my mother loved the band Bread and would sing the heck out of their songs. Their songs are so beautiful with truth and pain, the perfect release sometimes when you need to let go of the aches of just living in this world sometimes which includes hearbreak. Thanks so much for listening to and sharing your reaction to this one. :)

I’m from Tulsa originally and I remember sunbathing while this was on the radio. We were so proud of our local Tulsa band. They only got better

Asia and BJ- Thank you Thank you so much for reacting to the brilliant David Gates. A great writer and wonderful singer. He wrote Everything I Own about the close relationship he had with his dad and how he felt once he passed away. He no longer performs anymore but is still alive 81 years old. Some other great songs of his that are worth reacting to are Guitar man, Diary, If, and It Don't Matter To Me. God Bless you guys!!

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Wonderful reaction to a wonderful song .. You really got to the heart of this one with your comments .. When I was younger, I thought it was a nice tune, but thought little or nothing about the lyrics .. Now those words are really impactful and emotional for me .. I feel the weight of lost opportunities with loved ones, and would give anything to be able to have time with them now .. This song is truth.

[@ddiamondr1]

This song is an absolute tearjerker. My sisters and I heard it on the radio while driving to a family event after my dad passed. My other two sisters didn’t know this songs about his dad passing. David Gates he’s an amazing songwriter with the unique voice. Bread was one of the best soft rock bands ever. Guitar Man , If, It Don’t Matter to Me. Always incredible melodies. And beautiful arrangements.

1972, brilliant song by Bread, reached number 5 in the charts. Ken Boothe did a Reggae cover in 1974 which reached number 1 in the UK. Then another cover by Boy George in 1987 gave him his only UK number 1 hit as a solo artist.

[@randytorres8211]

Per Songfacts According to the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, at his father's funeral, a friend took David Gates aside and said, "Your dad was so proud of what you were doing." David agreed by replying, "My success would have been so special to him as he was my greatest influence. So I decided to write and record Everything I Own about him. If you listen to the words, 'You sheltered me from harm, kept me warm, gave my life to me, set me free,' it says it all."

[@kdm71291]

Bread was some of the music my wife and I shared when we were together in high school….and after almost 40 years apart when we were reconnecting via internet and phone, I sent this song to her saying that it nearly killed me to hear it after our break up….but she saw something in that I didn’t…and took it as a sign to start really telling me everything about how she still felt about me all those passing years! Today, we are where we were always were meant to be….married…for over three years, now!

[@SQUATCHY614]

My wife of 43 yrs has been in ICU for 29 days. She coded and was revived. Had three major surgeries in five days to save her life. They did but it’s a long recovery. This song has more meaning now than when I was a teenager.
