Bread was one of my favorites back in the day!! They have a greatest hits album and every song is fantastic!! Please play more Bread songs!!!❤❤❤

[@honestone490]

I agree. Such songs as "If", "Make it with You", "Diary, " Baby I'm-a Want You"" are just a few to start with. However, they have so many more out there it's really hard to pick just a few to recommend.

Bread has many heartfelt songs about love and life worth checking out.

[@SunSandandSurf]

Beautiful song. I was about 10-12 when it came out. Always gets me. So beautiful. I never knew what it was about. I just told my mom (I am visiting her for xmas) that I am going to make dinner for her tonight. :) Thanks for the reminder of taking care of our parents and not taking them for granted. You never know what can happen.

Love this song. Lost my dad in 1996. It reminds me so much of him. Lost my mom in Feb of this year. it's been the worst year of my life. My closest friends are gone as well as all of my grandparents. It sux to feel completely alone on earth. Treasure them while you have them.

"If" is a beautiful Bread song.

[@Jen-in-Texas]

This is a good choice

[@stephaniefain1863]

I'm crying. My dad has been gone for years. I am honestly just able to selfishly miss him. I spent years angry. He was only 65, when he died in his sleep. It was so unfair. To him. Finally able to rest, and enjoy grandkids and fishing. Pet his cows. Pick his fruit. Play poker with his buddies. Not fair. But, we loved each other, shared our secrets, even when it was hard, and I wish he was sitting with me now, having a cold beer, and talking about stars, or oceans, or mountains. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays, everyone.

[@IDONTLIKEMONDAYS-w2h]

I know the feeling. My dad passed at 59.. it's been 16 years and I miss him so much ❤

[@stephaniefain1863]

@@IDONTLIKEMONDAYS-w2h Thank you. I know you can't feel me, just like I can't feel you, and both of us would be insulted if we tried to. I do appreciate your understanding of my years of anger. And my selfishness now, of just wishing I had him near. Have a Merry Christmas, and enjoy the holidays.

[@stephaniefain1863]

@ thank you.

[@Berliozioz]

So glad you now know of Bread. They were the first emo band and have yet to be dethroned. Might I recommend "Make it With You". A timeless classic with ever needed good vibes.

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Such a heartwarming song, thanks Shon

[@sddRd68]

YES ❤I would give anything to hear those annoying little things my Mama did, I would gladly take them if I could see her smile and hear her tell me she loves me again ❤I seriously have bittersweet tears in my eyes right now, she should be getting ready for her birthday on December 27 so I miss her extra at Christmas but I know she’s in Heaven and she is not in pain anymore so I’m happy for her for that part. Love you, Mama!

[@sharonpeek4578]

"Diary" and "This isn't what the Government" are two of my favorite songs by Bread.

[@aircap]

Bread were soft rock kings in their day, they had a pile of hits.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This one still makes my allergies act up. It first became a hit when I was in early grade school, and I had just lost my great-grandma, whom I was extremely close to, and I stayed with her sometimes. And when I did, I treasured every minute of it. Literally every minute. She was so old that she had come across Kansas in a covered wagon when she was 6 years old. She had lots of stories to tell me, And lots of little lessons to patiently teach me. 😢❤ Then I hear this song on the radio, I smell the scent of lavender, smell the scent of really old polished wood, and I hear her caring voice, and I would lose it every single time this came on. And I learned how to play it on the guitar in the piano and sing it myself, but it's just so powerful.

[@dagmar.6954]

Such a touching song! David Gates wrote this song in memory of his father who died in 1963 & never saw the success he achieved with Bread. 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", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man", "Sweet Surrender", "Aubrey", "Diary" etc. 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".

[@markymontrosemark]

Beautiful lyrics

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 I had a very difficult childhood and was really not loved by my mother.... when I had my own children I vowed that I would love them with everything I had and I listened to the song and I hope I hope that I have succeeded in letting them know how much they are loved and how beautiful they are

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Oh damn it!!! Idk if I should even stay. This song makes me cry every single time. I lost my dad/my hero three years ago, and especially this time of year, my birthday month makes me miss him so bad. He always made my birthday so special. I love that man more than there are words for. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@beckettexplore2345]

Shon, you're so wise and soulful for being so young. "If" is a beautiful song, simple and short but so powerful. And for a slightly different take on Bread.... check out "Guitar Man." Happy Holidays! 🎄

[@Carlaaa55]

Thanks Shon. Great reaction. Please check out Make it with you next.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I was more into the Rock stuff at that age but I will say that a couple of their songs really got to me. This being one of them. It reminds me of my great grandma who really took care of me and I still sometimes have dreams about her, or I can smell her lavender smell and for comforting presence but she's also really Stern because she's from the late 1800s. She survived all kinds of crazy stuff. In any way I think about her when I think about this song. But of course it can apply to anything that you really care about.

[@SteveWalsh-qm3tk]

My good man, I love your reactions and honesty 😎The music of my youth

[@miamichaels5999]

Apparently, he wrote the song for his father after he passed away.

[@EarthWalker2023]

Absolutely 💯 fire

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It's hard to describe how much this meant to me to see you having this reaction to this. Even though it's out of your time and out of your context you totally locked into it. It just is one of those that really unlikely in a way, cuz I was really into heavier rock that even that early age. But this one always got to me for some reason. So much. I'm so happy you explored it and really got into it. Love you brother.

[@hibhibb5429]

😔This song is one that hits home for me. I miss my mom, dad, 2 brothers. I miss you all so much! Merry Christmas in Heaven. I Love you!! ❤🎄

[@horrorqueen-ze9tm]

One of my favorite songs is by Bread. I literally cry every time I hear it. It's called "If"

[@garyzink1927]

Loved listening to this in my bean bag during college in the 70's. Now i listen to it and miss my mom, dad, brother, grandparents, aunts and uncles who have passed since then. My dad told me in the 80's don't get older. Your reactions and insight is beyond your years. Call your grandparents tomorrow, hug your parents asap. Peace and Merry Christmas from Northern Michigan.

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

David Gates was the songwriter and singer here. He had a talent for ballads but had a few rockers as well. Check out 'Mother Freedom' and 'Let Your Love Go' for more up tempo. 'Guitar Man', 'Diary', 'if'.... many more for ballads. You might also like 'Christina Aguilera - Hurt' from 2006 a 'Linda Perry' song about the loss of a loved one. Great tune Cheers.

Strange. I was just thinking about my dead. So many. And I'm not old. I'm not even 60 yet. Kids, when I was young, from suicide, or overdose, or crashes. Alcoholics. Heart attacks. The list seems endless. They,(family, doctors) tell me I have PTSD. Depression. I think thats bullshit. What are they thinking? Roses and sunshine? In my case, i just want to cry once in a while, because they deserve it, and its all I can give.

[@M00159]

Glad you researched this song to know he wrote it for his Dad. Most people assume it was written regarding a lost or broken romantic love. It makes a difference knowing the context.

[@tommtommkin]

Shon... this was is and will always be my fav of there's. But anyone of there songs will knock you over there all beautiful. There's The Guitar Man, If, Make It With You, Baby I'm-a Want You, Lost Without Your Love, It Don't Matter To Me, Sweet Surrender, Aubrey, Diary... I'll give you one from someone else that might just put a smile on your face. Its by Carole King called Jazzman the saxophone will melt you. As for losing people... glad you haven't as of yet may that not come for you for a very long long time. For me it came all too soon... I was 3 when the only real family I have ever had died. It was my Grandma and to this day shes the only one who ever made me truly feel loved in this life I cried everyday and night for her for the next 21 years of my life no lie begged the Lord to take me to her everyday. At the age of 3 I also witnessed a young man get murdered too. After that it was most of my family on both sides then in 98 it was my Father. In 2019 I watched as the doctors killed my Mother, 2 years ago it was my baby cousin, after him it was more people I knew... in 2016 2 men I loved, one was my man, who died... I nearly went up after my man the Lord Himself had to stop me. You die with those you love when they die it takes every bit of strength to hang on and not to lose both your mind and life along with them. There's pretty much no one left in my life. My Dad was only 61 when he died and in 2 months I'll be 61 I have the same medical problems that killed him... I wonder how much time I have left myself. That's ok though I'll be going home to the Lord and that's all that matters. Have a wonderful Christmas hon. Peace.

Shon, you've missed out by not listening to Bread, "If" is an awesome song by them. "Make it With You" "Baby I'm a Want You" is also good. These three should get you started down this rabbit hole! Have heart, I have a friend that is 70 years old and his father is still alive, just make sure you tell your parents how much you love them often! His father just turned 100 last month so he won't be around much longer. Yes, please do "If" you won't regret it. Oh yeah there's another song called "Diary" by Bread that I think you will like!
