Pieces of April - Three Dog Night

I would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts on "Pieces." I wrote it at a very special time of my life. Special, because I met the "love of my life" and had recently lost her. By chance, we were together for three consecutive Aprils and then she left me for good. Today, I don't know where she is or how her life turned out. May is symbolic of the present, April was, and still remains a sweet yesterday. I have never really gotten over "April" and the "pieces" still remain. Those sweet Aprils... It's my favorite song, too.
- Dave Loggins (composer)

Forty years have passed for me as well since I first heard this song, Much has come and gone during that time, yet this song will remain forever in my heart. Thank you Chuck, Danny and Cory.

This is the kind of song that makes you want to close your eyes and go back in time. The 70s were such a good time to live and grow up in. This song brings a tear to my eyes every time I listen to it...

Although this is a good version, and I'll probably be in the minority, but I prefer Dave Loggins' original.

This has always been 1 of my fav. Nearly 50 now but this reminds my of youthful days.

I thought Dave Loggins wrote this song. It's truly a beautiful song, and I don't think anyone will do this song justice like Danny, Chuck & Cory did. I always thunk of my Mom when I hear it as she passed away in April, and we were "mourning in May".. Thank You for writing the song, and for posting the video. Peace.

I went through this loss 45 years ago, lost her, married another--time went on she passed away with cancer 2+ years ago--then all alone--decided to find my first--I did, we have been together now for 1 1/2 years now---yes, to find the first we change---Thank God I love her in a much different way now--I have my April in May, and I listen to this song 3-4 time per week. Beautiful !!!!
