I totally agree. I was 14 when this song came out back in ‘75. I feel so blessed to have grown up in that era. The greatest era of music EVER. What a masterpiece this song is.
For me this song reminds me of 1977 at 18years of age leaving Australia to live and work in the UK. A whole new course for my life. There was terrific music in the 70s and 80s, not the rubbish today.
Me too. I remember I'm not in love playing on the radio in the car after seeing Jaws at the movies. Funny how songs bring back back good and bad memories.
Me too I was 21 years old in the summer of 1975 and in love with a girl named Bridget..wonder what happened to her all these years later..this song reminds me of her and being 21 in that beautiful summer of 1975
Im 35 and I don’t recall when I first heard this song like some of you OGs but lord! It truly does something to me. Whenever it plays, I repeat it at least 5xs after
Same here I'm 35 but I remember hearing it because this was my Dad's favourite band! He has since passed and I have a 17 month old baby boy, who is listening to 10cc everyday and smiling and dancing, I'm carrying on our own family legacy of loving 10cc!
I was at this concert in 1977. My Mum was an official photographer. I was 13 years old. I loved it. Turned me on to live music for the rest of my life.
Just heard this song for the first time June 2024 😢 ,yes i cry just picturing the girl been told this lirics , not been in such situation myself ever ,how does one get over it ? a liar guy , words and actions give him away he is in love ,if this had happened to me my heart would not heal ever😢, iam seventy one years old,50th anniversasy this past May i still love him❤ .
Timeless classic..something that still sounds as mindblowingly brilliant as the day it was released. I was driving when I first heard this in the 70s and stopped the car to listen and get the name of the band....10cc.😊
I would call this one of the quintessential songs of the 1970's. It was such a great decade in much simpler better times. Only those who were actually around back then fully understand this.
Just a brilliant band, loved growing up listening to them in the 70s on lower tye farm hayling island best thing ever to come out of stockport top quality.
I can't stop listening to this fabulous hit especially because my radio station likes old school staff so much!I am 72 and still love the so tremendously!!?!
I was only 11 in 75..when this beautiful song was release. I turned 11 may 29 1975. So this beautiful record just was released. I remembered walking to the record store with my cousin..asked the guy behind the record store counter.. "Whats the number 1 song? In the country???. He gave me this yellow 45 record. It was!! "Do the hustle" by van..Mccoy! Summer of 75. The most Remembered summer for me.
This song makes me cry so much... I absolutely love it. It reminds me of the best time of my life... And how much I've suffered for it. Why does the love of your life just tells you "I'm not in love"? ... 10cc, thanks for this wonderful song, the best love song ever
He has fallen in love, but is afraid of his vulnerability. Once he says "I love you", he's committed to her and open for possible emotional pain...Because big boys do cry. The arrangement of this song is magnificent.
@@theresaschultz1511 There's a saying : "It's better to have loved & lost, than never to have loved at all." So, to have experienced the joy when the relationship was positive & good, is worth the risk of eventual emotional pain, as difficult as that may be. You might google the song by Garth Brooks called "The Dance" - with the lyrics .... and don't be afraid. Best wishes.
Eric. His Voice. Winsome and angelic, yet simultaneously masculine, resilient. This song has the stuff of eternity bewitching the atmosphere wherever it is played.
I remember where I was, what I was doing the first time I heard this song. It took my breath in 1977 and still does in 2020. Mezmirizing sound, never gets old!
We are all old... Our generation is already passing. Departed loved ones, memories of our youth... do we have any hope? just take what we experienced. What we enjoy and what we suffer. A hug to all! 😪💔🍀From Chile...❤🐕🦺💫🎶🇨🇱 (June.12.2024) ¿Alguien leerá este mensaje?🙏🏻

(Desde Escocia). Yo he leído tu mensaje con solidaridad - aún yo también siento tanta nostalgia al escuchar esta canción. (Tengo 72 años) Pero también tenemos q. mirar lo q. nos espera en el futuro. ¿Eres creyente? En Cristo Jesús, el futuro de todos los q. creen en Él implica vida eterna. ¡El futuro es mucho más emocionante q. el pasado! ¡El Señor te bendiga!
An absolute masterpiece! But the work that 10cc put in to create this masterpiece is even more astounding!! God Bless Eric, Graham, Lol, and Kevin for this musical work of art!
I can remember the exact time and location of where I was when I first heard this song. I can even remember the weather that day...I don't have an autobiographically memory either. I was in my parent's old Chevy station wagon and we were waiting for my sister; who was inside the bike shop. It came on the radio, we were listening to it (I was digging it) and then my mom changed the station. I told her I liked the song and she turned it back...Obviously, way before the internet and it took forever before I figured out the name of the band. I will never forget this beauty....
Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman wrote most of this tune, and then Kevin and Lol came up with the idea of multi-tracking the vocals and layering them..... What a concept for 1975!
I always loved this song when I was a kid(9 years old when it was released in '75) because of the harmonies. Now, it has a whole different meaning to me as an adult, so it soothes my soul when I hear it again because I can have a conversation without actually speaking.
I was in the United States Marine Corps when this song came out. I was so in love with the late Teri Holsenback. I was stationed at Camp LeJeune. Teri lived in town..Jacksonville, North Carolina. We dated a while and then broke up. But this song reminds me of her. Rest in Peace Teri.
My first crush on a boy in middle school, i was so in love with him! We went to a dance. Once we kissed. Then we just went our separate ways for whatever reason I don't remember. This song was 'our' song lol. I'm 62, I still think of Tom every time i hear it, and every time, still, it makes me cry. The 70s were gold.
Escutei está música quando tinha 13 anos ( 1977 ).....uma das maís lindas deste século dos séculos. Conheçi o Sr Jesus Cristo. Quê música 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Morava em Goiânia Goiás. Vila Redenção em a mata .
The perfect voice for this song. Just the right amount of emotion without sounding pathetic and a tinge of longing that betrays the sentiment of denial in the lyrics. The sultry whispers of "Big Boys Don't Cry" recalls the pillow talk from the previous night's intense passion. This is the ultimate song of love that doesn't literally have to say "I love you". Such a gorgeous song, if I had the chance to perform this song I'd be perfectly happy just humming Graham Gouldman's part.
YES ! An instant time machine for me-18 yrs old-Summer 1975 , Seguin , Texas grad- great time to be alive . Trying to not fall in Love . Nostalgia is sweet and bitter too at times. Enjoy while your here folks.
Wow! I was in London in 1977 and saw 10cc in concert . Now back in Tennessee, this brings back sweet, treasured memories. This must have been another stop on the tour. Thanks so much for sharing this!! ♥
Concordo com você essa música pra mim é a melhor que existe ela tem alguma coisa inexplicável pra mim só sei que essa música é incrível de todas as formas
Another great band from Manchester, I never saw them unfortunately but in 2021 I had a ticket for a tribute band in Rossendale but the pandemic ruined it.! ☮️☮️👍👍😁😁🎸🎸🏴🏴🏴🏴
Blessed to be young in these days; songs where created by true talented artist; today, corrupt and untalented music producers-mainly from the US-have taken over the music industry; thus, impossible for talent to shine we to benefit in listening to great songs such as this one.
This song was playing on the radio when my wife and I first met in 1976. We were married in 1979 and are still together. I still get a bit chocked up when I play this song.
I have read many comments from people who remember the exact moment they heard this piece, well I remember it too, my father was watching a movie on TV while I was doing homework when I was in high school, suddenly I heard the song on the movie and my father changed the channel, since TV was not working he could not return when I told him that I loved the song, I looked for it as "it is just a silly phase Im going through" in 2007 and here I am still in love with this song
Any guy that’s out here struggling to tell their lady that you love her, this song can help you get there to say those three words… I love you, many times a day to her.
I was 17 years old, a young girl, I remember like yesterday! Music today can never match up my generation!
I totally agree. I was 14 when this song came out back in ‘75. I feel so blessed to have grown up in that era. The greatest era of music EVER. What a masterpiece this song is.
Me to
and me.
Muy cierto..ni comparación..Dios miooo..me hecha lagrimas😢😢
My daughter now 55 has told me many times that I grew up in the very best of times and she is sooo right!!!
This performance has taken me back to 1975..and i want to stay there..god what happened to the world xx
❤
I am 83 years old and I still enjoy this song. It's unforgettable
It's so... I love it!
Turning 53 this year & this song is 1 of my favorite
Великолепно
Respect music and vocals
@@MsJPJust turned 55
I was a truck driver back when this song was released, with my whole life ahead of me. Now I'm 74 years old and still enjoying it!
John Perkens Would a 74 year old man have a quality memes playlist?
❤️ I’m sure you have wonderful memories
wow brother,,i was 15 and hopelessly in love,,i understand you my brother,i am 61 from Canada. Peace John Perkens Da Goose.
❤❤❤
I was in elementary school but I loved it
Eric has a magical quality to his voice and was perfect on this occasion .
I was 12 year’s old when I first heard & fell in love with this song & it make’s me feel the same every time I hear it
Yep me too I was 12 also
For me this song reminds me of 1977 at 18years of age leaving Australia to live and work in the UK. A whole new course for my life.
There was terrific music in the 70s and 80s, not the rubbish today.
Yeah, music today for the most part is really bad
Listening to this beautiful song, it's like yesterday, I'm 67, and still love it. So much water under the bridge, this song is timeless.
Song is just as beautiful in 2022 as it was in the 70s! There is no real music these days.
Timeless Masterpiece❤
15 years old when this happened ...would always be the slow dance at the school disco -first loves and kisses -now 62 -Whoosh its all goes so fast -
If there were such an award THIS should get 'SONG OF THE CENTURY' - simply perfection BEFORE computers and autotune!
Reminds me of the summer of 1975. The song is beautiful and timeless
Me too. I remember I'm not in love playing on the radio in the car after seeing Jaws at the movies. Funny how songs bring back back good and bad memories.
I born 1971 but i feel like the song Is so mine, i feel spetial things inside.❤❤
yup i was 13...hit the spot that i didn't know i had
Me too I was 21 years old in the summer of 1975 and in love with a girl named Bridget..wonder what happened to her all these years later..this song reminds me of her and being 21 in that beautiful summer of 1975
One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs ever.
Im 35 and I don’t recall when I first heard this song like some of you OGs but lord! It truly does something to me. Whenever it plays, I repeat it at least 5xs after
Lol.
OGs. Geezers. We are. Hehe

One of the most innovative singles ever recorded in the modern era. So ahead of its time, yet a perfect snapshot of the mid 70’s
Yes. ...!.. Absolutely!!🥰
Yes, I always thought it was an 80s song.
I can hear that all day. An 80's synth pop/dark wave version @@Schnipp08
I was at this concert in 1977. My Mum was an official photographer. I was 13 years old. I loved it. Turned me on to live music for the rest of my life.
What a great story! You were very fortunate to have been there.
Wow
Just heard this song for the first time June 2024 😢 ,yes i cry just picturing the girl been told this lirics , not been in such situation myself ever ,how does one get over it ? a liar guy , words and actions give him away he is in love ,if this had happened to me my heart would not heal ever😢, iam seventy one years old,50th anniversasy this past May i still love him❤ .
These songs make me feel grateful to be alive, enjoy reading your comments and peace be with all of you, brothers and sisters.. God bless!!! Rock on 🎸

Heard this live in Guildford Surrey in 70's. they said it was the first time they were performing it. Shivers down my spine then and still now.
Just a brilliant band, loved growing up listening to them in the 70s on lower tye farm hayling island best thing ever to come out of stockport top quality.
I love this song. Have for almost 40 years. Never tire of it.
I can't stop listening to this fabulous hit especially because my radio station likes old school staff so much!I am 72 and still love the so tremendously!!?!
Top 5 all time. Stops me in my tracks even to this day.
Pra mim essa música e a melhor de todos os tempos
Only someone who was living during the 70's appreciates music like this. It was the last great decade of music.
How about the 80s though??
I absolutely love it and I get chills while being born in 2001 so actually, you just need to know the right people to enjoy the right music
90s was the second most if not the first most innovative era behind the 60s imo😊
One of the most innovated bands of this era.
One of the best songs to come out of the 70's. Just incredible .
I totally agree.
Listening to the original album recording via headphones is the only way to really enjoy it
Now children this is how to write a song that will stand the test of time. Listen and learn
@Harry Browneigh agree 100% so glad I grew up when music sounded great. 60s & 70s !
@@TheAngWel bruh shut up Angela. You're just saying that cause you slipped your disc the last time you tried twerking to Soulja boy

Live is even more beautiful than studio version.
No way!!!!!!!!😂
Outstanding song
Simply one of THE greatest songs of ALl time - period x
50 yrs ago I was so naive I thought it was the Beatles.. We had such great music back then.. Miss those lazy days now...
This song makes me cry so much... I absolutely love it. It reminds me of the best time of my life... And how much I've suffered for it. Why does the love of your life just tells you "I'm not in love"? ... 10cc, thanks for this wonderful song, the best love song ever
Wow, possibly the greatest song ever and phenomenal Performance
He has fallen in love, but is afraid of his vulnerability.
Once he says "I love you", he's committed to her and open for possible emotional pain...Because big boys do cry.
The arrangement of this song is magnificent.
It is difficult when you're vulnerable. I'm 52 and been hurt. I have so much love and kindness to give but it's so scary
Yeah. Love stinks. Also a song.
