  • Mark...thanks for this...God Bless...

  • VERY good job! Thank you.

  • my name is aubrey, like you did, my father named me after this song. When I was younger he sang-along to it all the time. I remember us going on a road trip playing all the best music from the 60's and 70's and then this song came on and I will never forget his smile as he sang to it. His voice wasn't as smooth as yours but it was full of genuine love. He died last year on father's day of 2011. I am 18 now and miss him so much. Thank you for singing this it brought me to tears.

  • Nice dude

  • hey mark you have a very good voice I hope one day I could play the same as you (using guitar).... God Bless!!

  • hey man... can u give me the tabs for this...? this is really good..

  • You sound just like David, superb rendition of this classic song.

  • i reaaly like bread.. (im hungry) hehe...

  • Very Nice rendition. We named our daughter Aubrey for the song too - and a few folks even recognize "A not so very ordinary girl or name." She is 21 so they must be pretty close in age - I wish I had your guitar talent.

  • It is one of those songs that stays with us all our lives.Can you remember this when you were little?

  • OMG!!!! U R So GOOD!!!! No, Great!!!!

  • nice, fantastic, very goog....

  • astonishing!

  • Mark just hit the subcribe button. I love Bread, David Gates is from my home state of Oklahoma what a wonderful artist he is and you really did a great job thank you. Harry

  • fantastic wonderful job

  • One of the more impressive covers of this great bread hit...well done...Cheers!

  • You could have been in the original group!  This was great!

  • Mark, listening to you is what made me want to post a song on Youtube. I love Bread and you are the best at reproducing their songs I've ever heard. Especially your guitar playing. Its been years since I've been able to sing that high.( acid reflux affected my voice) I am so jealous. I too feel you could do a great John Denver. Keep it up. You should try out for Americas Got Talent. You do have.

  • Best cover of bread songs ever. I believe you can do some John Denver songs to a tee also. You are fantastic. Dead ringer for David Gates you are. Do some John Denver Please.

  • Wow..so beautiful...

    Excellent voice.

  • You sound great! Seems like we both had the same idea. Unfortunately for me, I'm still waiting to have a daughter that I can name Aubrey and sing this song to her. You must love your daughter very much. She is lucky to have you.  Again, great job!

  • Dude, Your fantastic ! Best I ever heard since the original came out.

  • same here! sounds so original-thanks for sharing-simply amazing! 5 stars

  • This is a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.I have always held a special place in my heart for the songs by David Gates. They just reach in and touch your soul somehow. Your voice and song have had that same effect. I have posted your video on my MySpace page! IT'S JUST ME is the profile! BRAVO!

  • Your voice is very good and your guitar is right there, too. I've heard other covers on You Tube of Bread songs...I believe yours to be the best...your voice hits it...even the high notes...my wife thinks so, too. Very nice job!!!

  • if i had a daughter...i'll name her Aubrey....what a beautiful name...u r one hell of a gorgeous man!

  • Just heavenly!!!

    I just want to say....wonderful

  • wow...

  • well sung.And played. One of my favorite songs when I get nostalgic about an ex...can't tell the wife.A cleverly written song I think, it pictures well how silly youth can get when they "fall in love".Gates got a great sound/word thing down on this number.And you did a good job of it too.

  • if i am your daughter.. i'll be very proud of you.. you're the best! :)

  • Your voice is so beautifully that I'm touched to cry for a while when listening to the song. Besides, the music is played naturally. Thanks for your performance!

  • wow  you done it well sir !! ^^ beutiful ^^

  • Wow...everytime I hear David Gates sing this song it makes me cry.....you made me cry too!!! Its such a beautiful song...I hope your daughter loves her name!! How lucky the women in your life are to be able to hear your beautiful voice at anytime!! Im jealous! :o)

  • Awsome! You played that song so perfecly well and you sound just like David. (I think I like your version than his).

  • thank you sooo much you continue to inspire me totry.

  • VERY GOOD

  • wow, you had a great voice man,

  • My daughter plays guitar. We were looking for the song "Aubrey"...because I named our cat of 16+ years..."Aubrey". (It was almost my daughter's name)ANYWAY....she's probably going to do an open "mic" version. We'll post it eventually. LOVED your VERSION.....just beautiful.

  • Hey man, this was simply awesome...Great voice.

  • you have a very good voice

  • Hey there..I just took a chance searching my name..and WOW..hearing you sing it brought back so many memories..My mom was a big bread fan and I too was named after this song..I'm 29 now and it took a while for me to appreciate it, because growing up I started noticing a lot of guys named Aubrey..but you sound awesome..thanks for stirring up the memories...

  • BEAUTIFUL!!...

    If your daughter is like a lot of 18yr olds, she might not fully appreciate it now, but just wait a few years...

    Again, beautiful job on a great piece of music...

  • you sound just like him, beautiful!

  • Someone who can do justice to the great Bread songs. How about doing "Clouds"

    If you were close I'd love to do the harmonies. N. Cal

  • EL MEJOR ERES TUUUU!

  • Without doubt, this is one of the best covers of any tune I've seen. Congrats to Markloy1 for keeping it simple, i.e. muted unchanged background, just him, the guitar, the song, and his voice. Played it as it should be played and sung as it should be sung (as opposed to many who find it necessary to do their own interpretation).

    Two Thumbs Up!

  • amazing song... great job... RIP Aubrey Grace

  • wow......... really great, good job..sound like david too.. thanks.

  • the fact that you sound so similar to gates is awesome.

  • damn bro your awesome.

  • Mark- we named our daughter Aubrey 7 years ago because of this song my husband introduced me to in college. We love it, and you sang it great.

  • Congratulation for your voice and song Mark,i love Bred.

    I'm from Brasilian,thank you.Sorry,i don't speak english.Kátia

  • Sorry,is Bread.

  • who needs the tabs i have em here... just send me a message and ill give u the link..

  • i thought at first i was hearing a doubled voice of david gates holy crap... this was much more better than david gates...

  • dude... you post this on my b-day how cool is that? thx buddy u made my day nice singing... and i think your guitar is a bit higher in tune...

  • That Was Awesome!!! Keep it UP!!

  • You are an awesome singer...so much so, that you should quit your day job and persue a music career.

    One bit of advice though: You guitar isn't living up to its end of the bargain, and it is out of tune. I think your guitar is tinny, and biased toward the treble end. Consider a guitar that is strong on treble and mid-range. Use fresh strings. Hear the difference it will make.

    Your voice has a superb and sweet upper register. Excellent!

  • Holy crap.. you sound exactly like Bread... o_O

  • very nice the way you sings sounds exactly like the bread

  • This is GREAT! You should put up more videos more often. I would love to hear "Make it with you," if ya know that one on guitar. Five stars!

  • I apologize to all those who have requested that I put more Bread songs on...I promise...I will sit down and do a couple new ones today today...and thanks to everyone for the very  nice and flattering comments.

  • "Okay mister, meet me in my office next week to sign the contract - you're IN!" THAT was the BEST!! Great voice and some awesome guitar picking you can do. Thanks for the post!

  • Very good dude! Sounds alot like'm! Bravo!  excellent song..brings back HS memories..Class of 79

  • Wow, wonderful.  I especially loed that you named your daughter "Aubrey". That you dedicated it to her. Great talent. Great Dad

  • markloy1, nice work brother! it was only this morning that i stumbled upon a song by david gates that i was'nt so familiar with, it's titled "find me", hope you can try and post your version, i'm just beginning to learn it today....

  • hi ralmasol, That song "Find me" can be found on a CD called The David Gates Songbook. I can E mail you the song if you want. It's beautiful

  • man you sound so much like David, and great guitar perfomance. please do more Bread songs for us.

  • That is a very, very good performance. Great job!

  • this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F1 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd! wow

  • Your daughter should be proud- you sing better then David! U are truely amazing!

  • wow... i am in awe

  • Great performance! A very meaningful song for you and a very moving one for us.

  • I have to say my man, that was pretty good.

  • Awesome vocal control, excellent guitar, and you emote so well I was wondering for a moment there if you were David Gates himself. ;)

  • He doesn't just have a good voice. If you understand music, you can tell that there's more heart behind the song than just good notes. To him there's meaning behind the name "aubrey" - his daughter. Way to go dude, you sound like a great dad =)

  • what a beautiful voice,you put many to shame.

  • You did this song so beautifully that it brought tears to my eyes and brought back a lot of memories. Thank you!

  • My wife is named after this song...Funny to hear of many others...I love the song and absolutely love this version, Great Job!

  • David Gates was Great. Awesome job. If anyone wants to know what america was about, this was it.

    I miss the seventies, And hate this george bush world we live in. (The early to mid-seventies had great songs).

  • That was beautiful and almost better than the original. Never knew so many people wanted to name their daughter after this song, i thought i was the only one!

  • My Mom named me after this song!

  • My mom also named me after this song!

    But I think I'm the only girl in Belgium with this name.

    Haha:)

  • Beautiful song. Check the one on my page I put together for my own daughter, Aubrey. She was named in 1973 after the very same song.

  • I've been playing piano, and guitar, singing in lounges

    all over New England specializing in Bee Gees, and Bread songs, but I've never heard anyone sing better than you.
