【簡介】

我欣賞的十大樂團之一的 Bread 是美國加州洛杉磯的（軟）揺滾樂團，在 1969 年由 David Gates （主唱）、 Jimmy Griffin 吉他、 Robb Royer （貝斯）、 Mike Botts （鼓）、 Larry Knechtel ( 取代 Robb Royer ） 組成。

才華洋溢的主唱 David Gates 精通多樣樂器，吉他、貝斯、鍵盤、小提琴、中提琴、打撃樂器。、合音 Jimmy Griffin 亦會三種（吉他、鍵盤、打撃樂器）。 Robb Royer 和 David 一樣全才，以長笛代替 David 的小提琴， Mike Botts 是鼓手， Larry Knechtel 後來替代了 Robb Royer 的位置。

看到樂團成員們才藝如此出眾，是又羡慕又嫉妬。難怪他們在八年內（ 1970-1977 ）有十三首歌打入熱門排行榜前一百名。不過我只喜歡其中七首，依序介紹（節譯）Wikipedia   

【心語 】

愛苗茁長，需要細心照顧滋潤。任其久旱不雨，發現時已悔之晚矣 !

珍惜擁有的 !

【歌詞】

D     Dmaj7             Bm   D
    You sheltered me from harm,
            G   Gm6       D   D(add E)  A
    kept me warm, kept me warm.
  D     Dmaj7           Bm  D
    You gave my life to me,
           G   Gm6      D   D(add E)  A
    set me free, set me free.
  Em                        A  Asus  A
    The finest years I ever knew
  Em                              A
    were all the years I had with you.

            G            D   Em     A
        And I would give anything I own,
        G          D        Em        A
        Give up my life, my heart, my home.
        G            D    Em      A  Asus  A
        I would give everything I own
                G              D
        just to have you back again.

D                                    G   Gm6       D   A
You taught me how to love, what it's of, what it's of
D                           Bm
You never said too much but still you showed the way
      C G                 D
and I knew, from watching you
Em                     A        Em                        A
Nobody else could ever know the part of me that can't let go
(repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
             Bm                       D
    Is there someone you know, you're loving them so
        Gmaj7               G
    but taking them all for granted?
            Em                         G
    You may lose them one day, someone takes them away
             C                                A
    and they don't hear the words you long to say.

(repeat Chorus)
        G               D
just to touch you once again.
