This was the first song I did as podline66.. I did it a bit tongue-in-cheek then. This time, no kidding around.. This song is as real as it gets.. Thank you David Gates..
I first heard this song in 1974 shortly after my dad died, my house burned down, and I was put in a girls school at age 15. I would listenand weep, because this was exactly how I felt about my dad.The girls in my cottage said this was written for a girl, but I said I didn't care. I knew it would forever be my song for my dad, and it taught me to be a kinder loving person throughout life. It's AMAZING what music can do - the people it touches - and the stories it births. Thank you David Gates.
Oh Lori, but you was right all the time, the songs have this attribute to have universal meaning, just like poetry and you can make a song or a poem absolutely yours... But David make this song for his father
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 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 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 You're 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 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
This song always reminds me of my sweet mother, she always taught us with her exemplary life. I miss her every day and think of how she affected our lives.
I know this song was written about the death of his father , but it fits my current situation . I recently lost my mother and every word of this song fits my frame of mind . My mom was the greatest woman I've ever known . She loved her boys unconditionally and I miss her horribly . Larry , I only know you from UA-cam and it seems like you're kind gentleman and your cover of this tune draws out a lot of emotion for me, but this morning I can't stop listening to it . Thank you
You knew i would get choked up here:)....Those words you said were so sweet.....And, you have become a dear friend to me....One that i know i am blessed to have....I will NEVER be able to thank or give Larry all that he has brought to my life....Through his sweet music, i now have more incredible people i call my sweet friends, and you are SO one of them..Larry does this song with more emotion than anyone....Larry, his friendship and music and your friendship are 2 things i am SO blessed with:)
I'm on a major Larry binge right now, starting with Aubrey (which I re-named a cat I rescued, who is dying). I'm playing her that song over and over as I comfort her, and she purrs every time now. I have to add that I feel that you play as if you wrote the songs yourself and breathe live into them, just as I'm trying to keep this poor old gal alive long enough to feel the love she deserves. Thank you, she loves your work too.
Oh you sing it beautifully! This is one of my fav song from Bread. I love this song, and it was because my Dad, I grew up with his taste of music. And I am so grateful that I enjoyed so much those everlasting song! 😄
I'm from philippines and I love this kind of music, classic musics are good. I'm a fan sir. you did a great job. how I wish I can play that song too. 👍 90's kid.
Larry I’m am so impressed with your style and guitar playing. Being a lady of the 60’s when it was a truly Magical Musical time with such joy. We had so many Music Festivals and such meaningful and a variety of songs~we were very lucky. Hearing your passion and love for this music helps me fill the void I have since my husband’s passing. Mahalo for all the enjoyment you give to listeners like me❣️Have a beautiful day and life. Aloha🌴Suszi🌺
This one touched me deep Larry. I just found out yesterday my friend John's wife was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. I just don't realize how short and precious life is. Great one again. Tony W.
This song has an entirely different meaning for me now. We never know one day to the next, one minute to the next when someone we love will be taken from our life. Make the most of life, people, and don't ever let a day go by without telling and showing your loved ones what they mean to you.
Larry..There are sometimes i think i fail to comment just how fabulous your music is..This might be one of them..I have said it with your other versions of this, and i will continue to do it, because it is very important..This is the song that brought me to your channel..If i could thank David Gates for this song i would..You singing this is perfect ..You really do David's music so very well.Your music & the way you do it is genuine and so right..You are a blessing, my friend...ione marie
I know this song from culture club, and I never knew that it was a cover version of a Bread song. I wanted to to hear it acoustically and I found this version. You done it brilliantly.
Musicman....I will be here a lot tonight....This piece of music of your's has put the biggest smile on my face...Thank you so very much:)))))....ione marie
Larry~The strength and beauty of you singing and playing that guitar are irreplaceable~I have to say , there is something even more powerful here~That would be the look on your face~When YOU do a song, especially this one, you sing with your eyes~I can't imagine not being able to be here with your music~~ione marie
Why Didn't I learn the guitar when I was young ! This is one tune i would love to play like you Larry, You play it wonderfully and sing it First Class. Thank you for showing Us How it Done.
Great job Larry! As I age, there are many things I wish I could do better or "at all"... What is like to be able to create something so absolutely beautiful... So blessed you are!
Once I watched your, "2018" version I had to come back here to listen ... I like yesterdays version best (I Love the very soft voice). Thank You. Love & Peace to All
Just simply awesome sir,brought tears in my eyes rolling down memory lane. You have a very moving voice that touches the heart & soul. Thanks a lot. Take care.
RIP, Larry. This one was one of my favorites.
Mine too! Sad to hear of his passing 😥
I did not know he passed and I am so sorry. This breaks my heart.
I first heard this song in 1974 shortly after my dad died, my house burned down, and I was put in a girls school at age 15.

@Mathew Wesson you are welcome :D
Oh Lori, but you was right all the time, the songs have this attribute to have universal meaning, just like poetry and you can make a song or a poem absolutely yours... But David make this song for his father
Sad that such a wonderful soul was taken so soon. Thanks for the music. It will forever live on. RIP Larry
Sério? Já faleceu?
I was saddened to hear of his passing too. When was the sad event, and what did he die of?
this is so sad, I'm crying, this is so terrible and unfair
What a wonderful version
Awesome, my heart is breaking apart - I miss my grandfather so much
wish... every teenager could have 1 grandfather like him..
Bread was my dads favorite band. I miss him so much. I know this is a year late but I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather
There are not many covers of songs that I like, but this one is brilliant. Great job.
Thank you for your music . RIP
It's great to see someone playing "Everything I Own" with all their heart engaged in the song! Congratulations
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
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
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
You're 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
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
This song always reminds me of my sweet mother, she always taught us with her exemplary life. I miss her every day and think of how she affected our lives.
Beautiful song and his interpretation is excellent
Sr. Absolutly amazing! Regards from Argentina.
