I’m also 65. I’m listening to Bread songs because I’m really depressed. I for some reason need to be more sad. The group with the saddest songs are Bread. I choke up just listening to David Gates sing them. If I really want the works, it’s got to be Diary. The last verse rips my heart out every time. I’m going through that now after 37 years.

What’s hard to believe is you’re turning 80 this year David ........where did the time go? God bless you and your family and Bread. You have shared your amazing voice and most beautiful songs ever written. Your music will never cease to bring joy and happiness to the world, not just me. I’m so grateful and thankful for your voice and your amazing talent, you are a gift from the Lord above.❤️💞❤️💞❤️

At 67 I still remember!!! Good times in back seat with the honey!!!! 😎😎😎

1970: this remains my favorite Gates/Bread song. He wrote and arranged it twice; for the first group LP in 1969, and made it slower, lowered the key and added strings when they needed a second single to follow "Make It with You" in 1970. A master singer, songwriter, arranger and conductor. For Debbie; in my mind that room's still there for you, though I know you'll never return. Be at peace.

This is how I should feel, but i am more hell hath no fury! I love Bread more and more as I get older, wiser and Right Minded!

I have almost 40 years listening to David ever since I was 17, My brother gave me one of the discs. I love this music 🎵♥️.

David Gates. An iconic one of a kind singer and performer/song-writer.

I love David Gates because he was such a prolific singer and songwriter of my generation

One of the greatest singer/songwriters ever-say no more.

Grew up in the 70s. I never discovered his work until now. I did hear the popular song from Bread that he wrote with Jimmy Griffin. But, when Meat Loaf passed is when I decided to look who Bread was. David Gates was and is the Bomb. A good family man didn't party all the time like industry people. The same wife, his childhood sweetheart. I respect that. He has an incredible catalogue as well. He's not the eccentric type and show savvy he's not. But,a genius Singer songwriter he is for sure. He is retired I heard. But, he is still with us do far for a reason.

This song goes out to Tracy Lynn from me. It's the same age as you, and it's always been yours from my heart ❤️ to yours.... You know who I am deep down inside. You always have.... You got all the way through. No one else has, or ever will.... ✝️=❤️

i listen to david gates since i was 10 lol still do

I believed so much in this song when I was a kid....I tried to use the lyrics to get my parents back together...or, at least talking again. I distinctly remember my mum questioning me, "Do you think I haven't considered all of this before?" I felt a fool and so naive. What she said was true and what David Gates sang was also true.....to an extent. Relationships are more complex than a Bread song yet somehow.....not so beautiful. Gotta hand it to David here. Damn! I LOVE THIS SONG!!

The guitar heroes of yesterday whose vast superiority of writing, & performing skills will not be equaled alone rivaled for the next thousand years and beyond! Shame on you talent mocking buffoons on the radio today are not fit to share the same airwaves of these legends did!

Happy 80th today, David 🎂

It does matter to me that these songs were the best era of music ever. Endless great bands and timeless beautiful songs.

It’s always remarkable when you listen to him perform live how much he sounds like the original recording. The orchestral arrangements are so perfect and beautiful

Meaningful lyrics and sung with perfection!
