If it helps: I think it is fine for you to like this song. I doubt I’ve thought of the song since I wrote this. That was from a period when I was writing full-time for others and 4 posts per day.
Don’t you think it is creepy that a guy would find your diary and then start to read it with the intent to use the information to further his romantic life?īut it really doesn’t matter to me. You don’t even try to counter what I’ve said. Your comment is just that it is a great song. Is your love for the song contingent on my approval? In this particular case, I know that this song is well loved by millions of people. I don’t need people to share my opinions.
And I certainly don’t go around to blogs and get hurt that other people don’t share my opinions. I am curious why I get this kind of comment so often. But that doesn’t mean I have to like him. I’m no less snarky about atmospheric physics!Īnd David Gates is a genius. ‘Cause I’m not a jerk or other awful guy. How a Decent Man Deals With Finding a DiaryĪnd so I found her and gave it right back But it is a good indication of what a great person I am to make myself listen to it again, just to share it with you. They make the maudlin content feel all the more oppressive. The vocal harmony on the refrain is nice. I think from now on I’m going to refer to it as Donald Trump’s Song. He’s a jerk! And why would he think she was writing about him? So he’s not just a jerk. No wonder it turns out she isn’t pining after him. Our hero just starts reading her personal thoughts. For one, if the book said, “Diary of Lynn Anne Edwards,” wouldn’t you go and give it to her and tell her you found it. “And started reading about her”? Oh, that’s the way, “And started reading about me”! Yeah! That’s a winner. “I found her diary underneath a tree” came into Gates’ mind. I’m pretty sure I know how the song was written. The song exist in a universe in which there are more than two people. Apparently, he isn’t Adam and she isn’t Eve. But then he realizes that actually, it’s some other guy. He becomes convinced that the woman who wrote it is secretly in love with him. It tells the story of a guy who finds a diary and starts reading. Like most really bad Bread songs, it is written by David Gates. It may well be the worst song ever written, Bread’s hit “Diary.” Well, today I am going to feature a song I despise. I said that I would present songs that I loved and songs that I hate. I had warned you that I was just going to wing it.
