While not my favorite Bread song (see "Everything I Own"), "Diary" is perhaps their saddest and most heart-breaking. Very simply arranged, with just an acoustic guitar with some violins setting the mood, and David Gates' angelic voice lamenting the discovery that his true love is actually in love with someone else. Don't listen to this song if you are depressed! ;-)
In the 1970's, the opening guitar riff ranked up there with Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" as a song every acoustic guitar player "MUST" know how to play.
