Power Ballad | |
| Bread (Band) (Music) / int_2100e8c2 | comment |
Power Ballad: It was an Unbuilt Trope during their heyday, but the stately soft rock balladry of David Gates was a big influence on the style, especially "Make It With You" and "Lost Without Your Love". | |

Deceased Parents Are the Best: "Everything I Own" is about the death of David Gates's father and about how much he misses him. | |

Tenor Boy: David Gates had a lilting high-pitched voice and often took on a male Ingenue persona in his lyrics. | |

Secret Diary | |
| Bread (Band) (Music) / int_a9ee4fee | comment |
Secret Diary: In "Diary", the singer sneaks a look at his beloved's diary, believing when she writes about her "true love" it's himself. When he discovers it's about someone else, he vows to support their relationship. | |

Edible Theme Naming | |
| Bread (Band) (Music) / int_aaf863b | comment |
Edible Theme Naming: The band's name obviously comes from the food, though their debut album's cover went with a Visual Pun based on "bread" as a slang term for money. | |

Power Pop: Not their primary orientation, but many of the Griffin-Royer songs count. Gates even tried it on occasion. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Bread (Band) (Music) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: There are exceptions in both directions, but the general rule of thumb is: if it's a ballad, David Gates wrote it; if it's rock-oriented, Jimmy Griffin and Robb Royer wrote it. One reviewer even noted that the band's songs could literally be divided into "white bread" and "wheat bread". | |
