    The song is irony. He IS in love, but in denial. He's trying to convince himself more than her. He keeps her picture in the wall but makes an excuse for it. He won't give it back. Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry. Not a booty call, he's trying not to give in to his feelings

    Eric Stewart (the singer) wrote this "Tongue in Cheek" song in response to his wife's constantly telling him that he didn't tell her that he loved her enough times.....In reality, he loved her very much. The band searched high and low looking for the perfect voice to say the words "Big Boys Don't Cry" when their secretary/telephonist/tea maker etc. popped her head around the door while they were recording this, to tell them that they'd got a phone call and they all instantly knew that her voice was the exact voice that they were looking for.

    This was a huge hit in the summer of 75. That awesome sound was done by making tape loops of each of the band's voices and playing them like an instrument. "big boys don't cry" the voice was a secretary in the studio at the time. Other 10cc must listen songs: Dreadlock Holiday, I'm Mandy Fly Me, Wall Street Shuffle, and Rubber Bullets.

There's a great video around telling that whole story that's worth checking out. This song is actually more a marvel of recording engineering than Bohemian Rhapsody, and may have taken twice as long to complete.

Fear and denial. Reminds me of my first serious highschool relationship, you know the one where after dating for 2 years she went with someone else to the prom. Fear and denial.

    This was a huge hit at the time. I was 20 when it hit the charts, and those massive overdubs were so unlike the bands at the time. It was so transfixing. I agree with one of the other posters, he is painfully, deeply, head over heels for her. IMO, he is not directly telling his GF these things. He is replaying those thoughts in his own mind, as a defense mechanism. If, he thinks, something causes them to split, he reasons it won’t hurt so much as he has prepared himself for that, in his mind. It’s partly his insecurity and his true feelings for her that causes his dilemma. I mean, his lover would have to have 0 self esteem and like being treated as a door mat to even consider sticking with him. He could never actually do that, because he took the plunge, and he’s in deep. It’s spelled LOVE. 😍

      Jonny Lumberjack You can’t say anything has changed after listening to a track that is more honest to a human situation than anything produced recently. Unless you’re drawing a definite distinction between how it is more socially acceptable to sing about a situation than talk about it between friends.

      @@behavedave Eh? I'm merely pointing out the differences in the young men of today and the men who were young when I was a young woman. Men are now encouraged to talk about their feelings, it is no longer OK to say things like 'big boys don't cry'. Which is a good thing. I mean, it's not good enough, yet, suicide is still the biggest killer of young men in the Western world, so clearly even more talking is required. But it's moving in the right direction and it has definitely changed for the better in the past few decades.

    The 70's was the "me" decade. A common thread through many songs of the decade speaks of people never allowing themselves to get too close because sticky romantic attachments were, at least in pop culture, such a bore and this song reflects that. Whether the perspective is that the author is in denial of his love for his partner or is aware of his love, but is afraid to express it for fear of it being unrequited, is left to the listener's interpretation.

    • @ArtamStudio

      It's hard to make out (took me a couple years & help from a musically-inclined friend) but listen to the whispering in the bridge: "Be quiet. Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry." That reveals the man's denial and possibly why he's denying his true feeling.
