“….and I knew, from watching you…”. Never doubt the power of having a caring dad in the developing life of a young man.
Or young woman.
Our beautiful daughter once dedicated this to me and her dad, she as since passed away, and now its us that dedicate this beautiful words and song singers to her RIP our Sweetheart
RIP sweetheart
I am so very sorry for your loss and I can't even begin to imagine the pain you live with daily. ❤😢 🙏🙏
very sorry
I always though that this song was about a lost love. Knowing that David wrote this about his Dad brought me to tears. How many of us have lost their Dads and still think of them everyday?
Same here. Heart pulling.
I am crying now.
@@dharenjeantubat6417 I never noticed how still the audience was until tonight. I am sure many of them were touched by the song.
Me too...
Me😭😭😭 5 years already when he left. I miss him everyday. 👼🥺🥺
Every time I hear this song I remember my father.
I'll never think the same way about this song again. What a great tribute to his father!
me too
Amen!
It's a timeless .....great love song! ......
My wife & l were listening and enjoying when a Chicago DJ explained. We liked it before, but had a new love & respect for this beautiful song after and since.
I certainly agree, when he made this about his dad. It reminded me about my dad.
I lost my father two months ago. This song has an entire new meaning to me now. I was so blessed to have the best father in the world.
Mi papá hoy se fue hace un año. Sufrió un accidente de transito. La noche antes de accidentarse el se durmió escuchando esta canción. Ni pude abrazarlo o decirle que le queria.

Now that’s the perfect song for a eulogy…😢
My dad passed in April of last year, 10 days before my 17th birthday. He was my hero, was and will always be my best friend
Josh I lost my dad in 82 when I was 17. You will never forget him but love him even more as the years go by.
I always thought this was a sweet love song. But until I heard David Gates talk about what was behind this song, it never got to me. I thought about what it will be like one day when my Dad is gone. Then I remembered my big brother whom I lost in 2014 at just 54 years, and it hit me. I would give anything, everything to see my brother, David Webb. The song will never be the same. Thank you David Gates for touching me with your song and it's true meaning. Brother, I miss you terribly.
joewebb75 sorry for your loss Joe. What a wonderful tribute you wrote. I couldn’t help but weep.
Diane Stewart, thank you for your kind words. My brother was always someone I looked up to. He was my BIG bro, a guy I always tried to follow. He was only 54. Lesson learned...truly appreciate the time we have with those we love. Thanks again Diane, and David Gates.
joewebb75 joe. God hold your brother in his arms. I see you still miss him deeply and would give everything you own for just another hour. God bless Joe.
I am a major rock n roller. Alice Cooper was my first concert at 13 in 1973. But nothing can touch the songs of Bread. Not Alice Cooper, not Alice in Chains. Rock n Roll is one thing. Songs this sweet and honest are something completely different. It really moves me seeing him older and that in his singing this song, I can still hear the purity in his voice from when he sang it in 1972. The story about his dad and this song makes this so much more real, special, and cherished.
Well said and I totally agree.
I totally Agree.
Agree ~ Magical & profound !
I totally agree with everything that you said. This song just tears my heart on a number of levels, but especially about my parents. When I first saw this and learned the real meaning of it, it hits home even more. A song and a voice as beautiful now as they were back then. Thank you David
In addition to the sentimental nature of your comment, with which most people will agree, it's a good time to point out the excellent observation that great music is great music, genre wars be damned. ; ]
One of the greatest singer/songwriters.
I've just lost my mother and I keep repeating this song whilst tears stream down my face. It resonates with the love and pain I feel within. Thankyou, I am sending it up to my mother. God bless you and your father.
So sorry for your loss. Sending wishes for healing, comfort, strength and peace.❤
Mind blown. He's right. I'll never hear this song the same way again.
Whos still up 2019😍😍
Don't take anyone for granted. Spend time with loved ones.
Davud Gates was one of the seventies best songwriters. Bread were the best soft rock group of the early 70's. Whatca combination David Gates and James Griffin (rip) were. David's solo songs were great too.
Just lost my dad. This song sums up the way I feel.
I feel David Gates and Bread are undermentioned when it comes to great American music. They came before my time and yet I'm still appreciating their songs in 2017.
David Gates was a friend of Leon Russell
My first concert ever David gates and bread🤗 in hawaii I was about 16 pretty cool
What a most beautiful tribute to his father ... I had no idea this was the song's deeper meaning .. knowing this has changed this song for me forever.
One of the best songs of Bread
David Gates had one of Rock n Rolls best voices and sang the prettiest songs.
Indeed
What an innocent time this was. No cell phones, no tv ( in my country at least) and no computers. Our neighbours popping in every evening for a cup of coffee while we listen to the radio and the women sometimes knitting together. You did not have to make an appointment first to visit family and friends, you were always welcome. What a beautiful song, one of my all time favourites
The best times never will return only in memory will stay
David Gates is in a league of his own.... He's incredible!
My precious father passed away recently. A friend sent this to me. I always thought it was a beautiful song, but now that I know why it was written it has a whole new meaning to me. I sobbed when I listened to this. I asked my son to add it to the picture video he made as a tribute to my father for his viewing. We laid his body to rest yesterday. He was so special. He’ll forever be my hero. 💔
Tanya R
Sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace, and may you find comfort in your memories of happier days with him.
My beloved father passed away suddenly in 1972 when I was in my late 20s. After 47+ years it is my precious memories of him which bring this great grandmother comfort.
Tanya R I know the feeling, my dad passed away 4 months ago.
Same. My father is also passed away 4 years ago but still i remember my father when he still alive 😭💔
So true lost my Dad in Jan 2020
God bless you. RIP, Tanya’s daddy.
This song means so much to me. I'm crying now remembering my Mother. She passed at 57 and when I first heard this, I knew exactly what Gates meant. I love you Mom.
I think of my mum too, she passed 7 mths ago and this tears at me.. So meaningful.. Miss mum so much
Mine gone when I was 45. I, literally, would give anything I own....I have never been the same. 😢
Same for me..... my mom passed at a young 47. I was 29. Yes,.... I'd give so, so much, just to see her once again. ♥️♥️♥️
I finally saw this video. I started crying thinking of my mom. I was 29 when diabetes took my mom. My mom was in her 50's. Love you and miss you mom.
Hope you find inspiration in this song brother Ramon Isla from batch 81. God bless classmate.
My generation made the best music ever.
About the only thing they got right
Bill Shanley understated, underrated but brilliant….a great piece of work from a true professional 😊👍
This live version is so well done. The guitars are blended so well with the vocals. Pure talent to pull that off!
Very few performers can reproduce the tune & timing of their hits long past. This one was a pleasure to hear.
Sunday marks a year since my dad passed. I miss you dad. Every day.
😢
May Almighty God console you. May your Dad rest in peace.
I have always loved Bread and David Gates, and now that I know the true sentiment behind the lyrics of this song, it means even more to me. I have always thought there are not enough songs dedicated to dads because they are truly important to a child, and have an enormous effect on shaping them to become adults. You are an inspiration and have a voice like an angel.
He didn't even write this song the piece of shite.
He didn't even write this song the piece of shite.
He didn't even write this song the piece of shite.
In my younger days, I always thought of my mom when I heard this song playing. I lost her many years ago but I made sure in my adult life that I told her how much I loved her.
My dad used to play this song and tell me about my grandfather...and now I listen to it and think of him. I wish I could get at leastc1 hour with him...😢
my father died two weeks ago. I've always loved this song but now it has a whole new meaning .
Bruce Troville Damn. No kidding. One hour.
Legend
I wish I just had 15 minutes with my Dad
When I first heard and learned to play this song, it was always about my Mom, who we lost when I was 13. This whole song feels like a warning, a plea... love now. It may end soon. Love to all....
Sorry you lost your mom so young. I lost my mom at the age of 25. She left a hole in my heart. Hope you are doing well.
@@annettesjoy What a kind soul you are! Losing your Mom leaves a hole in your heart, doesn’t matter when. May every blessing you ever sent out return to you 100 fold!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗
I loved this song in the 70s, it became real for me in 97 when my dad died. I was an only child/daddy's girl....and this song touches my heart every day....miss you daddy....the kids miss you. And your 2 great grandbabies would love you
Debra Stirnaman Daddy’s girl here too. We laid him to rest yesterday. I had this added to his tribute video. Sending love from one daddy’s girl to another. 💗❤️
I hope you find inspiration in this song Dette. FOR YOUR TATAY.
One of the most beautiful voices there ever was!
Dang! Who knew this was about his dad? Breaks my heart.
Why can't we have this great music continue its so sad the shit that's out there,this song bring tears to all of our eyes from what I read of all your comments at least we got to experience it.
Because the music industry especially Pop music, has taken over most of the production from true artists. It is rare that music (shit) today can evoke any kind of emotion such as a great song like this that speaks to your heart and transcends the mind. The industry mostly promotes the same familiar beats, groves and progressions and re-packages them over and over to what sounds familiar. Most young people that listen to the shit today, only care and have been conditioned to enjoy the beat. Ask any listener today what a song is about and they can't tell you. The industry is using familiar beats and patterns to stimulate the brain to release dopamine. The shit today has nothing to do with heart. I know music being a musician. This erosion of heartfelt music and conditioning today's listener is something that started years ago. The industry rarely looks for an individual artist that has written a hit such as this. They have their own writers and producers that told to produce a certain thing that sounds familiar over and over and sells. What a shame. Young musicians with a dream to make it music, I really feel bad for.
Could be a perfect "Fathers Day" song!!
I miss you dad.
Me and my dad used to listed to this song on our way home from going swimming. I wish I could do that with him again. I miss him 😢
That's 'My dad and I', but I know the feeling. God, I miss my dad so much.
Wonderful music, and with these two amazing singers......it hurt my soul.
David Gates explained the special meaning of this song when he played in Perth, Australia about 10 years ago and although I'd been a great Bread fan since the seventies, it really blew me away and touched me that it was written with his father in mind. David is without doubt one of the greatest singer song writers ever!
David Gates is not only a high talented musicians, but a highly human being, God bless you David Gates, that He honor you as you honor you dad, you're a fine example of the best, thank you because your music inspired my life.
What is a highly human being?
Very well said
Not highly talented? Compared to who?
@@horse5407 If you have to ask, then you'll never know . . . .
David Gates and Dan Fogelberg are my favourites.
When I was in grade school I only understood the romantic side of this song, playing it while aching for some forgotten girl. Listened to it constantly, to pick the scab as it were. When older I saw the real meaning of the song, and when my dad passed I played it for my mom a couple days after the funeral. We were both crying. It's a beautiful song. She's now close to joining her husband in heaven. I'll play it again for myself when the time comes.
The finest years I ever knew , were all the years I had with you "..miss you so much Dad
My dad died December the 1993, my firstborn was almost a year old. My dad was legally going adopt my son to keep him in the family and give him his family name. Unfortunately months before this would happen he passed suddenly. This is the one song I could think of, still has meaning to that time, and that sorrow we were all feeling. I still miss my dad. It's been 28 years.
When you hear David tell his story I also will never listen to this song the same way again.
Yes, we all took this as our broken-heart song. It's touching that the depth came from his father.
My father passed in july 13/ 2014. He was the best father and friend.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊👊👊🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
"You taught me how to LOVE". Finally I know what he said there!
My dad passed away 1977 almost 50 yrs I stl remember our time together .li love u dad.TIL WE MEET AGAIN
An absolute masterpiece.
the quality of his voice during live performances is unmatched.
When i heard it, the first thing I thought of was my dad ❤. He's been gone 21 years now.
Hearing David sings this song brought me to tears... thinking about the olden days. His voice is perfection.
Oh, so this song was about his father. I would have never guessed that. That's a lovely tribute to a father.
I would give everything, everything I own...just to have you back again mom. The world is another without you.
Shiiit.......
such a beautiful talented man. I have loved his music since I was a kid and I'm 61 now.
Holy crap I'm having a moment listening to lyrics now after hearing the story.
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
Your loving them so
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again
Why don't more people like Bread? The number of views should be higher. These guy were incredible writers and lyricists.
I just lost my mom on April 3rd her name was April she was the most amazing wonderful person in the world I just randomly heard this and it hit me hard turns out my mom n dad used too love bread 🙏
Gates was a brilliant songwriter! Way to go Dave!
This is the one tune that causes us to stop everything and listen intently. Wow for more than 50 yrs thanks.
I honestly didn't think of this song romantically. The first line "you sheltered me from harm" first thing I had in mind was family and as the song continued, I remembered my grandma who had passed away. She took care of me when my parents were busy, I wish I was old enough to take care of her when she got older and sick. I miss all the people I've lost when I was just a kid. I wish I could still talk to them now that I'm older. 🤍
Lost my father two weeks ago. This has always been one of my favorites now it really hits me
Sorry for your loss. My father passed when he was only 46, I wish he was back. Hang in there Sandra
Lost my dad 8 months ago. We played it at his funeral
I miss him too..4 years later...he was my dad too
I understand you, Sandra.... I lost my father 1 month ago and I felt the same.... this song always been special to me, and now that I know its real meaning it really hits me..
One of the most beautiful songs EVER written.......EVER.
Ed M - 100% agree
I never knew the reason David wrote this great song. Now that I do I love it even more. Thanks for posting.
He had something special with that voice.
~i was 16 when he originally recorded this. Loved ot then. Still do.
Man what a special song!! The fact that it's a song paying homage to death comes clearly to me. I cannot help but think of my mother and my older brother and cry when I hear this😢....Thank you Mr. Gates for writing such a magical song
Song from the heart.
This man wrote songs that tugged on your heart. Till this day, they stir emotions.
Miss you dad.. rest in peace.. :(
I listened to this song wayyyy back in the 70s and it touched me then and it still does after all these years later. Doesnt get any better than this.
I always thought this was a song about a man losing his wife to death. Hearing Mr. Gates say it was written about his late father makes it more personal as most of have lost our fathers to the great enemy - death. Great song!
I'm 66 years old and never knew this song about his father - no wonder it touched me whenever I heard it - it touches me more even more because I had a great father
Wow...he has such a beautiful voice.
Some of the best ballads to come out of my generation.
This song has always been a childs heart song to a deceased parent to me. I have always known that this song was meant for parents, abd the relationships that we, as children, take for granted. My mother passed in 1981, when I was only 19 tears old, and this was the song that has stayed in my mind and heart thinking of her. This song, and Never Go Home Anymore by the Shangri Las, are forever my memorial to her. And this has become my best version for his explanation of why David Yates wrote it.
One of, if not the very most touching songs, I've ever heard. I listened to it for years until I found out one day that it was about his father. Compleatly changed its meaning for me.
KB
Who else is watching this during coronavirus lockdown March 2020?
Mind & Qi are One I am! And it makes me long for my beautiful wonderful dad!!
Means so much. I would Everything I Own to have Jill back from 1981. Miss and STLL LOVE YOU 38 years after you left me!!!!!
You're certainly in much good company.
I don't know why I had to across this today. I'm balling my eyes out thinking about my Mom. It hit me like a brick. Wow. Phew ~
Drowning in my tears
Beautiful .
Wow! This song just takes my breath away.
I lost my father 8 years ago he was a hard working man a great provider the mostly great mentor he raised five children with a help of my mother and never knew that that's all meant that the David Gates said about his father and I listen to it and tears came to my eyes My father and I been many years together even though he had five children I was the last to marry we had a lot of wonderful times walking the woods fishing working together building things sometimes I get mad at him when I was a kid he was tough but he was a good guy he showed me the right direction to go in life I hope that he's in a wonderful place now with the song it'll be in a different meaning to me as well thank you David Gates
Such a brilliant songwriter and storyteller. In 4 minutes you understand his admiration and deep love for his father and his passing. If one doesn't feel and ID with the words of this beautifully poetic and emotionally constructed tune, your heart must cease to beat. I couldn't sing this in public without falling apart.
Now my favorite song ever. Wish I had my mum back, passed last January..:(
I saw them in Australia in a farewell/reunion type concert tour in maybe the late 90’s perhaps or later, but they sounded brilliant, so professional and just quality musicianship, and one stage between songs David Gates asked the audience “how it sounded out there?” Cause it sounds pretty good from where we are” Been to see many concerts over the years, some of the greatest artist from around the world, and have to say this particular concert in Melbourne, Australia that night is one that stays with me. Thank-you Bread🙏
David Gates was a major force in music in the late 60's and early 1970's and was part of Bread, which really was a super-group. The other 3 guys, well 5 actually, in Bread (Robb Royer, Larry Knechtel, Jimmy Griffin, Mike Botts + Jim Gordon at the very beginning) were NOT slouches. They all brought tremendous talents to this group and are all over the records of other groups as songwriters and session players. Gates himself is/was a great multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, orchestrator, and arranger. He kinda looks like the Marlboro Man here. It is also wonderful to see the talented and generous Billy Dean, who is fantastic and had a great run, but deserved to be an even bigger star than he was.
I remember when Bread released this album, and I played it over and over. For some silly reason I remembered the message from this song when I became a father, and it inspired me to do my best in that role. Thanks David Gates for showing me the way, because things have turned out very well.
David gates best singer and composer bread
DAVID IS SO AWESOME I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HIS VOICE,HIS MUSIC,HE HAS MORE TALENT IN HIS LITTLE TOE NAIL THAN MOST OF THE SO CALLED SINGERS AND MUSICIANS OF TODAY!!!!!!!
I agree with you singers today do not have much talent.
I was a rock and roller like most of my friends in those days, but Bread has always been one of my favorites and I've been a loyal listener ever since I first heard them in 1970. I've performed this song live along with a friend of mine at a local country fair. Just us two and my guitar on the stage. The response we got was amazing. I was very surprised at how many people stopped what they were doing and sang the chorus along with us. There were many people at the venue that got a very deep, soulful look in their eyes, which told me that this song hit home for them for one reason or another. It's such a simple yet powerful song. Such a lovely tune. Thank you, David for your talent, your time, and your treasure of music.
A special man who uses the power of words along with beautiful melodies.. What a gift he has...
WOW!!!
Talk about hearing it a new.
It may be the best dad song I’ve ever heard.
BREAD..Wow!! My first Boyfriend had this Album back in the day. This Record means more to me than I could ever explain. I Love every Member of the Band. The music is just as good as the singing!!
Hi Pam, couldn't agree more...such amazing musicians
His explanation of the song really tugged at my heart strings, especially since I've lost both my parents. Either way to think of it, it's an absolute beautiful song! ❤❤❤
Truly a classic love song!!!
