[@francesw.6774]

A song from my youth. One of the joys of listening to a channel like this is that it reminds you of songs you long forgot about, but as soon as the song starts to play, you remember it and it takes you back. Amazing how it can be years and even decades since you've heard a song, but it's in your brain there somewhere and though your conscious mind has lost track of it, it is imprinted in your memory files somewhere deep in your brain. It all comes back so easily. Thanks guys.

I know Amber enjoys a Romantic Song. One of the most heartfelt songs by Bread is called: Diary,(I Found Her Diary Underneath The Tree), No one has reacted to it, yet Methinks. It's a standout.

[@emeraldmaiden63]

Agreed. 'Diary' is a beautiful, heart-rending song.

[@CatherineFlading]

Great song. Beautiful and heart breaking.

[@Yaktahbay]

Absolutely! I'm catching up on Rob Squad's Bread reactions and plan to suggest Diary on the latest one. It is essential and yet nobody ever reacts to it. When Aubrey came out, I considered it, and still do, a lesser effort in the same musical vein as Diary.

[@erickent3557]

As much as we publicly liked harder music that screamed against the world, our young crushes and loves were secretly expressed in the gentle sounds of Bread... these songs really make my eyes well up, pulling out reflective, lonely moments of my youth.

[@jillwklausen]

Word.

[@ricknbacker5626]

Your appreciation for Bread warms my heart. Like the Carpenters, Bread flew against the grain of where popular music was going from the late 60's through the mid 70's. Where bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Queen (too name but a few) blazed a far heavier path. Drowning out Bread and the Carpenters on the big stage, but never in our hearts. Their music has proven too stand the test of time and two young people like yourselves are a testament to that. Bread does have a hard rock song that was a big hit for them titled "Mother Freedom'. You both may want to check it out for another side of Bread. It's a great song. I truly enjoy your reactions. Cheers, RNB

[@earth2kosmickitty]

Amen Brotha! I looooove their music soooooo much!!! Growing up in the 70s, I was such a shy, sensitive soul(still am lol) as a little girl, and hearing their songs on the radio, always seemed to touch a very special part of me, and I've never forgotten them. "Goodbye Girl", and "Aubrey" are two of my faves, along with this one of course. They were/are such a special part of the soundtrack of our youth. So nice to see their music come full circle with newer generations, and touch them just as much. Would love to see you guys do more Don Henley as well, he has some beautiful songs as a solo artist as well as with the Eagles. Thank u fam🥰🙏🏽

[@magneto7930]

Mother Freedom, a great song! And there's a great live version by them on youtube. I think that song always gets overlooked because people want to keep them in a soft rock bag.

[@kenpaden]

Well said Rick!!!!

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@earth2kosmickitty Great memories indeed. Reactions like this give me hope for all of us. My favorite Bread song is 'Everything I Own'. One of the most perfect pieces of music ever put to tape. (IMHO) Cheers, RNB

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@magneto7930 Hi MAGNETO,I think you're 100% correct. As a song, it's a bit more 2 dimensional when compared to their acoustic guitar with strings/ storytelling/tugging of the heart strings super ballads. These songs had seriously thought out arrangements. Mother Freedom has a more linear almost garage band feel to it. Which is why I love it!! Best wishes, RNB

[@TB-mk3fq]

I’m with Amber. Love 70s soft rock and Bread has many great songs. I think you both would enjoy Guitar Man.

Please play David Gates' solo song from the 1970's movie "The Goodbye Girl". It was an amazing romantic comedy. I think Richard Dreyfuss (JAWS) won the Best Actor Oscar that year for his performance. Marsha Mason played with him and was married to and starred in a lot of her husband's movies. This was one of many. You should also watch the film. Gates vocals are stunning!

[@amyk9175]

Theme from Goodbye Girl is one of my favorite songs, especially after watching the movie. I just love the way it builds.

[@wildrobcat5]

David Gates, the lead singer of Bread.. also had a strong solo career. His most famous one and number one chart topper is ‘Goodbye Girl’ which is the title song from the Hit movie Goodbye Girl. You got to listen to that one!!

[@waltw4537]

A nice tune. Nothing wrong at all with soft rock, that's for sure. Really tight band. Nice fade. Hey! Thanks Guys!

[@lynnlafever1810]

I must have worn out three 8-track tapes of Best of Bread! Love all their music. They had very few rock songs, mostly love ballads. BUT "Let Your Love Go" is a real banger! Great guitar solo and they even integrated a Bach style harpsichord sound into it, and it really worked great for this piece.

[@SWLinPHX]

I can't believe how much you appreciate them and their songs after just hearing them once. Imagine how us Gen-X'ers (and older) feel having heard them so many times and the nostalgia bringing us back to our youth. It is compounded that much more -- that is a factor you can't feel of course but I'm so glad you're discovering all these gems of my life.

Larry Knechtel and Mike Botts were top notch musicians. Larry was a member of the famous Wrecking Crew and played on hundreds of hits, but mostly on piano and keyboards, but was on the bass with Bread. And Mike was also a session player who played on hits by many famous artists

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

Soft rock is a favorite of mine too, with Bread way up there. The STUDIO version of "Dance With Me" by Orleans is worth a re-listen as well as Neil Young's "Harvest Moon."

[@Paladin70]

Just Orleans, no The - fyi. Great recommendation though!

[@bengilbert7655]

Kenny Loggins' cousin Dave Loggins was a great songwriter who had a big hit on his own with Please Come to Boston, a soft rock classic. Another soft rock classic is It Never Rains in Southern California by Albert Hammonds. Also Come Monday by Jimmy Buffet.

[@jchan5210]

Absolutely love Bread. Just imagine yourself, lounging in a comfy chair/couch, a cup of tea or coffee or hot cocoa, maybe a little snack like a slice of cake with the rain outside...listening to music like this. I think that's one of the closest touches to Heaven one can get on Earth.

[@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 "Diary", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man", "Sweet Surrender" 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".

[@midnightfury9001]

Back in the 70's my older sister received the "Baby I'm a Want Ya" album for her birthday from one of my cousins in California. Suffice to say I use to sneak this album from her room and play it whenever she wasn't around. Fun factoid: David Gates of Bread went to the same Will Rogers High school as did musician Leon Russell in Tulas Oklahoma.😃

Within a week I have found that I am deeply fallen but I didn't get a chance to talk to her on that large campus and I was an introvert ! I was thinking about approaching her with this song (playing it somehow to channel my inner feelings). Within few weeks I have found out that I was reading the wrong "Diary" ! Whoah Man ! How many times I read the wrong diaries in my life ! "Bread" made me Laugh & Cry as well in those lonely days of my life. David Gates has an otherworldly vocal, awesome and soooo emotional !

Jason Sheff is the son of Jerry Sheff, Elvis Presley's bassist.

Like, in the 70’s there were vinyl records and there were racks and shelves people bought and placed near their stereos called Hi-Fi’s which were usually in the living room and people would come over and you’d let them pick an album to play. Well, some people had a second collection in a closet or a bedroom that had stuff they didn’t want people knowing about.
