  • Such a beautiful song...makes me tear up every time. I love Bread - and David Gates!

  • Actually you guys are HALF right. He wrote this song for his dad. But when he was growing up he didnt get along with his dad so now he realizes what he meant to him after he passed away. Now he`s telling us what he did and what he`d do just to see or touch him one last time...

  • Didn't used to, but now I can't sing this without thinking of my Mama, and missing her so much...

  • lost my mom, my best friend in 1990... this is a dedication to her.... Who hasn't taken their parents for granted... if we could only have another chance. This is a beautiful song...

  • Quien me puede sacar de la duda, he leído varias veces la traducción de este tema, no sé yo lo relaciono con la partida de su madre o padre. Estaré en lo correcto????

  • Que hermosa la letra de este temazo, un clásico, super profunda......me encanta

  • How I envy anyone who had that kind of relationship with their father.

  • wow that's probably the best live recording I've ever heard

  • Esta traduccion esta llena de Errores Please no confundan a la gente!

  • The quality of this song was so bad I couldn't even listen to the whole thing. Check out the same song on my page .. Way better.

  • pure talent!!!

  • que cancion tan linda! aww♥ tiempos hermosos

  • At age 14 in Panama City Beach near Bay Cove, my girlfriend and I used to walk 2 miles to her older brother's house every weekend singing with amazing harmony the "Best of Bread" tunes during our entire walk ...

  • CLASSIC !

  • If you like David Gates you'll love my bubblegum music podcast, Echo Valley. It's free and fun and we play groups like Bread and The Partridge Family almost every time! Find it on iTunes or Google "Echo Valley Bubblegum"! Hope you like it!

  • bread, que grupazo canciones que estaran siempre vigentes

  • It is about his Dad. Listen to the lyrics. His Dad passed away and he wrote this song. Same as Living Years from Mike and the Mechanics, it is about the lead singers Dad.

  • beautiful........

    

  • beatiful

  • te daria todo lo que tengo para ganar tu amor mi casa mi corazon mi vida todo esto por amor david gates ponia su corazon en interpretar estas canciones tan hermozas es necesario cantarle a una damo hermoza estos temas

  • So touching....:)

  • @BrooksRobby5 ...you are incorrect...he wrote this song for his father....shortly after his father had passed away...

  • exelent!!!!!! david gates , uno de los musicos que marco mi vida en aquellos 70.- y me dio una gran ispiracion en mi etapa de musico cantante.- eduxr2@yahoo.com.ar

  • cara gostei d+ mais conheci logo depois q asisti o ultimo episodio da mulher invisivel

  • he is not just singing but he is also talking to me...

  • Perfeito 2

  • perfeito!

  • Egad, I hope that David Gates received adequate compensation for having his song raped and tortured.

  • u suck

  • Simplesmente linda.

  • En el 2:10 taking them all for granted NO es "tomarlo a pecho" sino mas bien tomarlo menos, o darlo por sabido, no darle la importancia debida; fuera de esto este tema es fantastico y la grabacion para mi inedita, Gracias por colocarlo !!

  • bread a musica claro marcou muito minha juventude foi muito bom itamar

  • to set the record straight he wrote this song in memory of his FATHER

  • @sodbuster925 Yes, I know this for a fact! Good for you to say this, merci.

  • Lovely!

  • This is a great song by Bread, I just created a video for Diary, check it out, youtube.com/watch?v=uhlYY-CxRA­M

  • tu traducción tiene errores. Ojalá la puedas corregir, es una canción muy bella.

  • i cryy¡¡¡

  • Seriously! Mom or day...I don't think so.

  • He wrote this about his Mother that passed..he is a true poetic prodigy...Simple...which made him so complex...

  • @rvelliqu Actually, you're incorrect. David wrote this song for his FATHER that had passed away.

  • @towncop You are right about david writing this song for his Dad that passed away. He said that to the audience in the concert he played in Tasmania,Australia 1999. I was priviledge to have got the chance to even see him in rehearsal prior to the concert. He earlier came to the foodcourt I worked, with his wife and had some soup and he was only about 100meters away from where I was working. The concert was absolutely brilliaaant. Another loving and touching song this one is! Good stuff dave.

  • @sansui77 Gee u ARE SO Lucky to meet the man!

  • That's AMERICAN music, Baby

  • Ele se parece muito com o cantor ja falecido Jessé, que cantava Porto Solidão.

  • I would!! RIP DAD xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxx

  • great song

  • Yes, David wrote this song after his dad passed away.

  • daughter has left home.......broken heart

  • @xXxSh3bAdArKxXx been there and it sucks

    i cried for days

    Trust God and forgive her

    she'll be back

  • i understand this song was about his dad who had passed away..

  • 22 dislikes,they aint got a clue

  • I think this one came out in 1972-73 ( not quite sure ) I met a girl named Cecile right before I left Vietnam. It was a short love ( first love as well ) The time she spent with me lasted forever until today. I got tears when I hear this song. I don't even know she ever got a chance to get out before the fall of Saigon in 75. Cecile, I love you still where ever you are. axioGP, thanks for bringing back the 70's memories whether it's sweet or bitter it is priceless!

  • the song everything i own by david gates and bread is not about the love of a girl he wrote this song because of the death of his father truly one of his best!

  • I would bet this song is the best among 1000 songs. <3 <3

  • love this

  • Comment removed

  • one of the classics that is meaningful than todays music. Lyrics that touches our hearts rather than todays' music that "bangs" our ears.

  • indeed fellows, regarding me? I´m working to be that kind of a father to my boys, there is no mother so,,, I must a very dedicated father one they will cherish for ever because they are important to me. Ah, I also like "It´s my job" from Conway Twitty

  • interviewed him once and ended up bending his ear about how my ex mrs used to listened to his songs and how i wanted her back. He was great! This song is about his dad...

  • @mtaylor848 yeah ur right ..

  • very very cute , everything the guy , his voice & the song........

  • Who the HELL are the 21 idiots who disliked this? This guy wasn't good, or great; he was (and is) a musical GENIUS. A G-E-N-I-U-S. Wrote some of the most brilliant melodies and meaningful lyrics ever recorded, was a phenomenal guitarist (he got his start as a session player) and sang like an angel. This song is about his father. If you've lost anybody (and I've lost your parent), this is a bulls-eye (albeit a sad one). Thanks, David Gates, for your remarkable talent.

  • para ti karina sanchez esteban u fucking move me

  • Dedicada a mi amor imposible...mi cholita linda..que le encanta esta cancion...

  • Fantastic song!

  • Bread, what a wonderful group. David Gates is and will always be a great songwriter and singer. I saw him perform live and he told us that this song was written about his father. Truly beautiful!

  • I always love to hear this song singing by the orig singer so wonderful

  • What a beautiful song. He has a voice with the angels.

  • this is genuine talent

  • i used to have his records but I don't know where its at now...lol...

  • Just gotta love them....they are a "stellar" soft rock band...with so much soul & heart! Truly refreshing in times like these.......words are special and sincere!

  • He wrote this for his father - beautiful

  • Que frase mas cierta.....

    daria todo...

    solo para tenerte.... otra vez,

    solo para tocarte... una vez mas.........

  • Quelle belle chanson. Dommage qu'elle est été un peu oubliée. David Gate chante en direct et c'est vraiment très beau. Je préfère de beaucoup cette version (plutôt qu'une certaine reprise) elle a plus de charme. Excellent chanteur musicien bien que la qualité de la vidéo soit un peu juste mais cela doit être normal vue le nombre d'années passées. Cet artiste avait du talent c'est pas toujours le cas assurément. Un grand MERCI... MERCI..

  • man ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ this song is stunning¡¡¡¡¡

  • poetic!!!

  • toller song

    

  • David Gates not Gate

  • David Gates not Gate

  • Timeless masterpiece!

    Thank you @axioGP for posting this gem!

  • @2009Denisem you said classic timeless masterpiece!

  • @THRILLAKILLA187 AMEN!!!

  • love this song.

  • @RMCKIE .... AMEN!

  • wrote it for his dad

  • killer....takes me way back .....to my 1st crush at 14 ......  time passes so quickly

  • esta é a melhor musica já feita e cantada por David Gate

  • es solo para ti adios

  • This guy was great never lip synced through a performance!

  • Sem comentarios, simplismente uma musica maravilhosa para se ouvir.

  • so meaningful....

  • voice gwapito!!!

  • - It might be quite interesting to have a female version of this song

    - A current voice that might actually have the pristine quality necessary to pull it off is Elly Jackson's of La Roux, its the only voice I've heard in the last 10 - 20 years that could potentially touch this masterpiece effort of Bread (Gates), and that I would really like to hear..........

  • I love you Sab !

  • The one day in my life that this vividly brings back,all those years ago when this was new,still makes me cry. If only,...to have it back.Just that one day,... After all this time,I find myself still in tears,..and he's gone.

  • This one is for Dad. He used to play it with me on his guitar and I played on the piano. Now, it has much more meaning.

  • I love Bread...even the edible kind, lol!

  • VERY NICE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN POSTING..

  • This song is about his father. Beautiful!

  • QUIZAS LA MEJOR CANCION DE AMOR PARA UN PADRE, CADA QUE LA OIGO, TE RECUERDO MARGARITO CARBAJAL SEPULVEDA

  • he looks so cute! i love you david gates and my dad is name is david but i love him too

  • @godiivaberii Yes David Gates is a doll & he has a beautiful voice with charming facial expressions. Talented musician as well.

  • this was played at my 5 day ol babys funeral yesterday.means so much,

  • @mandime29 Sorry about your loss, i know it can de devistting. We, also played this son for ny uncle. I don't think i could ever cry like that, but the pain was unbarable

  • The most innocent,pure,beautiful song ! He gives the most real eye contact of any singer. so true !!!

  • Thanks David...Timeless

  • I really love this song.. ever...

  • I love this song.

  • hes so cute here

  • these guys are great...

  • Im 12 and i love this... really tells ya how awesome Bread was hey?

  • @00LordBacon00 I was 12 in 1972 when they were at the height of their popularity. I'm glad kids are noticing this music. It's normal healthy music. Something went wrong though between 1970 and now.

    Take care and goodbye now.

  • @00LordBacon00 How amazing Bread still is!

  • This tune needs to be the official Father's Day song..as David said he wrote this for his late Dad.

  • Such a pure and beautiful voice.

  • @RabidRhonda So true, could you imagine what David Gates and Karen Carpenter duo would have sounded like.

  • @VTVStudios Y e s - what a terrific thought. They would have been pure magic. I can picture it and imagine the sound. So, thanks for that. Happy New Year

  • Memorable cancion dedicada al padre que partio para siempre,quien,aparte de Dios y tu madre,te da la vida y te libera para que realizes tus sueños.Es un genio el compositor y Bread una banda inolvidable.

  • The world would be a better place if it was filled with people like David Gates walking around

  • There are still plenty of good songs wit meaning and musicians as well, ya just got to get out there and listen.

  • I think the view counter must be broken 'cause I think I've watched this 900,000 times myself over the past few days! I love this performance, and the way every time he sings "my life, my heart, my home", he looks up to the heavens at his beloved father!

  • Did you guys know this song was about his parents? Really.

  • He is so adorable in this performance! The music of the 70s is so superior to the MTV garbage that was popular when I was a teen. While all my friends were listening to Michael Jackson and Duran Duran, I was listening to REAL music like Bread and Gordon Lightfoot! Most of my generation and kids today just don't know what they're missing!

  • As a young man in 1972 I had the privilege of listening to songs like this masterpiece.. and falling in love for the first time with ones emotions racing to fine heart-rending poetry like this David Gates wonder , makes me wish that the kids today will resurrect the beautiful music of the 60s and 70s and love it the way we did- though we didn't know at the time how fleeting that period was to be. Great music is something that lasts forever and songs like this are nothing less than that.

  • Más recuerdos

  • genial preciso tema

  • @RMCKIE....you are so correct. I love the songs of this era. They had meaning and you could understand what was said. AMEN AMEN !!!  OWN EVERY BREAD album there is and in the process of getting all of David Gates individual ones.

  • i love david gates

    

  • Nothing like the classics.

  • Esta canción me gusta tanto... Conocí primero la versión de Boy George , pero esta esta buena tambien..

  • David Gates was (and is) a wonderful musician and song-writer. The music of this era still speaks to us today. There is a sweetness in this music that is missing in what is being played today. I read somewhere that he wrote this song for his father.

  • @musemom2 The first David Gates & Bread Tribute band is coming soon to minnesota. Go to manna music concerts.com (no spaces) and get more info and listen to music clips of manna's lead singer. FYI

  • Dios,esta cancion me rememora a mi padre,que partio al cielo hace cuatro meses,como quisiera que todavia no se haya ido y permanezca conmigo,la cancion lo dice todo,fisicamente no estara conmigo pero si lo esta en mi mente.

  • The memories this song brings to me, and some of the best years of my life. Though none will compare to the years I spent Laura: The love of my life, and you can see the 4pt series I have posted here.

  • REMINDS ME OF ALL THE BEUATIFUL TIMES I SPENT WITH MY DAD !!! AND ALL THE LESSONS HE TAUGHT ME. LOVE YOU DAD!

  • This guy was really brilliant. Yet he is virtually forgotten. Strange.

  • i would give anything-For music like this again

  • AMAZING SONG!!!!!

    Those Were The Days....

  • I love how you can hear all the words clearly

    that's the 70's those were the days

    well of course I wasn't born then But I love this song anyway,,

  • This song was written in his mother's memory. A lovely tribute......

  • really, songs in the past really get the better of music...that's the era when you could usually hear the lyrics and the song...:-/

  • Great lyrics!

  • AxioGP - ¡ Qué padre video ! Un diezote. La música de Bread me encanta.

  • quando nós (o mundo) o tivemos , não acreditamos que poderia ser tão perfeito e era.

  • Man i love this song. My eyes tear up all the time because it is so true.

  • When songs had meaning and you could hear the words sung clearly. Amazing, THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

  • @RMCKIE Absolutly agree with you!! And because we don't have good songrwriters like in the past.

  • @RMCKIE yep.. :(

  • @RMCKIE yeah no more

  • @RMCKIE

    just like many songs from the golden decade, the 70's

  • @RMCKIE Do yourself a favour. If you haven't already done so, and collected all of the 'Bread' albums, at least get one of the many 'Greatest Hits' albums available. So many beautiful songs and every word can be understood. I think it's a real shame some younger people have never even heard of them. Maybe the 'Bandslam' film will wake them up!

  • @RMCKIE

  • @RMCKIE haha what are you, 70?

  • Daria todo lo que tengo o poseo por volver a aquellos años antes de 1997,a partir de ahi perdi a mi amor antes y a mi padre mas recientemente,pero es una utopia.

  • i loooooooove that song ! s2

  • This guy can write...and play,

  • i really love things song since i was single

  • Rita ofereço pra você, grava um vídeo com você cantando, essa canção é realmente lind@

  • Lind@ essa canç@Õ !

  • Reminds me of my son. I couldn't put it better: I would give everything I own just to have him back again, just to see his sweet face and endearing smile, to hear the word "mommy" once again.

    Chase, I miss you more than words can say.
