Love this masterpiece. I was 15 in 1975. Just started dating the most beautiful 14 year old girl on the planet. Heard this song as I rode my bicycle back from her house every night. I'm 63 now. She's 62. Married forever. She's still the most beautiful girl on the planet and we still listen to this song together and it takes us back to the summer of '75.❤
I myself was 15 when this song came out. I try to explain to a younger generation and even to some of my colleagues from my own age group just how magnificent the music was from 1975 to 1995 but words are not enough. If you were lucky enough to have experience this song and many many others like it as a young adult then you were truly blessed. Thank you for posting your memory. It brought back some of my own.
Just lost my wife and this song is all about her, the love of my life. She waited for me and we stayed together for 42,yrs of marriage. God I miss her terribly and it’s only been 4 months. The song is a killer emotionally. I can picture her right now at prom.
you're right to cling to the beautiful memories of her. She was a gift from God as, so is this fantastic song. Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit has filled a similar void in my life and given me the power to go one. God bless.
@@jaymestratton6235 When I was younger, I'd see old people with their grey hair and walking sticks and just think they were a different species to me. It still surprises me that I've become one of that species.
I was 13 lying on my towel on my town beach in South Shields UK on a rare warm June day and this song wafted across from someone’s radio and I thought it was the most heavenly sound ever. 45 years later aged 58 I still do
@@musiclover5023 wow a shared moment in time across the decades. I think what made me sit up (literally) was how new and out of step it was. Back then it was all about volume ( Slade, Roxy Music, Suzy Quattro plus any number of glam rock and metal bands) then this layered, harmonious almost ethereal piece came along. Anyway it’s great we can access this beautiful music so easily (keeping me sane in Lockdown - just!) .Thanks for touching base
Me and my boyfriend graduated in 75. We were both the same age and started dating at 16, married at age 22. Had 2 beautiful girls. My beloved husband passed away in 2004 from a heart attack. I never remarried. He was my one and only true love!!💕 I miss him every single day. I’m 67 now and I’ll see him again one day in heaven 🙏💖💕
Wow. Same for me. We had 42 yrs and one boy one girl. She died in 2023 from pulmonary embolism from her leg to her lungs. Life got reset for sure but one day at a time.
Because of music like this, I just want one more week in the 1970’s. As a teenager then, that was absolutely my happiest time in my life, before pain and regrets took over. This song is so hypnotic and classically played, I used to play it over and over, as it put me in a trance. I miss the 1970’s, and so may we have peace from God my dear friends and learn to love each other like brothers and sisters and enjoy music like this forever.
Do you know any place that's Channel good. I don't want to hear your voice or how about the first the service gig Sunday Govan I don't want to hear your stupid coming for God are you going to say for everybody else stupid who's going to love your brothers and sister I just don't know what do you make in your life nothing garbage to go out to buy me with this you're on you own garbage
Never thought I would miss 1975, but damn I do and would go back if I could. Life was simpler back then and much more innocent. This song is the tip of the iceberg as to why this time was wonderful.
"I'm Not In Love" by 10cc, released in 1975, is a classic rock ballad that stands out for its innovative production, lush arrangements, and the unique story behind its creation. The song was written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, and its recording process was nothing short of groundbreaking. The story begins with Stewart's exploration of a new piece of recording equipment, the Ericsson Vocoder, which allowed him to manipulate and blend sounds in innovative ways. During a recording session, Stewart began experimenting with the device, creating a sonic landscape by layering vocal harmonies and other sounds. The band soon realized they had stumbled upon something special and decided to build a song around these experimental recordings. The distinctive vocal sound that permeates "I'm Not In Love" was achieved by recording the voices of Stewart, Gouldman, and other band members singing a multitude of notes. Each singer was asked to sustain a single note for as long as possible, resulting in a vast collection of vocal tones. These recordings were then mixed and manipulated using the Ericsson Vocoder, creating the ethereal and choir-like vocal texture that became a defining element of the song. Lyrically, "I'm Not In Love" is a complex exploration of love and denial. The protagonist of the song insists that they are not in love, yet the repeated refrain of the title suggests a tension between the denial and the underlying emotions. The lyrics capture the ambivalence and vulnerability inherent in matters of the heart, making the song relatable to a wide audience. The recording process of "I'm Not In Love" was painstaking and meticulous. The band utilized a unique technique of creating a sonic mural, layering tracks upon tracks to achieve a rich and immersive sound. The result was a groundbreaking piece of work that defied conventional expectations of what a pop song could be. Upon its release, "I'm Not In Love" became a massive hit, reaching the top of the charts in multiple countries. Its success was not only due to the captivating production but also the emotional resonance of the song. The innovative use of vocal techniques and production methods in "I'm Not In Love" set it apart as a trailblazer in the world of pop music, influencing subsequent generations of musicians and producers. "I'm Not In Love" remains a timeless classic, celebrated for its artistry, innovation, and ability to capture the complexities of human emotions. The song's enduring popularity is a testament to its status as a groundbreaking piece of musical history.
Well said as it was a masterpieces n still Is I wish I can go back to this day I was so young. 49 yrs ago my goodness feels like if it was yesterday when I was just youngster... amazing very beautiful song even though it was sad.
YEAH and when you play and sing it it's an astoundingly simple trick. You got A-major , you fiddle with it and drop it to minor. These guys knew something else.
46!?😱. Oh my God am I so old. I was 10 when this song came out over the radio waves. Jaws was the number 1 hit movie on the silver screen and Disco was going stronger than ever. I love my childhood. Wish the way it was back then here in America was the same today. I miss everything of how America used to be
Listen to BREAD...❤️❤️..You will have tears in your eyes for sure...Miss that time..Life was different... Not Like today..Worlds out of Control...Sad man...❤️😁🎸🥁✌️👍🌠🌈
I was 17 yrs old in 1975 and getting ready to graduate from high school. This song has beautiful memories of carefree days. I am 65 now and preparing to retire and still listening to this song. We had the best music.....
I particularly remember hearing this song for The Very First Time, coming from my neighbor's radio back in 1975 when I was only an 11 year old kid.I was playing in the backyard with My Beloved Siblings on a Beautiful White Clouded Sunny Day, and Being So Happy 😊 and thinking How Truly Beautiful The Moment, and Life was at That Moment. I'll Never Forget That Day, I felt like I was In Heaven, and I Truly was at that moment in time. Thank you 10cc for making This Beautiful song that is Cemented in My Memory Forever.🥰🥰👍👍👍!!!
I guess she never asked for her picture back that was covering that messy stain on his wall....of course he knew that she knew....I really dint mean that much too him...
Ich war 15 Jahre alt und sofort tief berührt, als ich 1975 diesen wunderbaren Song von 10cc das erste Mal hörte. Heute, 45 Jahre später, liebe ich dieses zauberhafte Lied immer noch und die Melodie beamt mich leicht und einfach zurück in meine Jugendzeit. Was für eine sphärische Melancholie und magische Klangwelt! Einfach göttlich!
I was there, and I know what you mean. I was going out with my high school sweetheart. I was planning ahead and heading off to college. My high school sweetheart headed out west. Loved that girl and that timeframe. Music like this brings the old memories back. Fast forward, met another girl who became my wife, mother of my children. We've been together 43 years now, have two grownup kids and 4 grandchildren. I wouldn't change a thing, but music from this timeframe, and this song very much included, brings back a lot of fond memories. I wish my grandkids can experience the same similar joys that I got to. Life is so much different now.
I use to smooch to this song with my then girlfriend, at the Execative disco. We are married and been together for 49 years, we are still very much in love, Maria xxx
My God we had no idea what was to become of this world... none of us had anything fancy yet everyone seemed happy and genuine. I was 10 when this song came out but it truly feels like it was just yesterday.
So true. It was a simple life and world. This song brings me back to being 18 and in love. Immediate joyful memories. Our world is radically different now.
3:48 I use to stay upstairs in my room and across the street was a friends house and the boy I liked would go to his home. I waited a long time for him But my parents sold our home and I never saw him again. Yes this song makes me remember waiting a long time.
@@pattyoconnell1953 When I was six and in first grade, there was a boy in my classroom who was so different from the other kids. I was a little girl, but I felt this little boy's spirit. One day, he was no longer in our classroom. He and his family moved from Chicago to the suburbs in the fall of 1973. I felt that he would have been the only one who I could relate to, and I was right. I never saw him again, but met some of his neighbors in a restaurant who told me that he was still a very kind, quiet, humble person who married a very good woman. I felt that at that point, I would be eaten by savages...and I was.
I remember this song way back when, I was seeing Darlene off and on for years, and kept telling myself that"I'm not in love" But I truly was, I have been married to Darlene now for 21+ years.
Man.. I Loved this song for so many years...Just a Beautiful song..Great song..When I hear this...Brings me to a Big open Field walking..Sunny day or a Rainbow...Looking in the distance as far I can see....Brings me to a different Place...So.............Beautiful....60s..70s..80s...The Greatest Music ever...❤❤😁🎸🥁👍✌️🌠🌈
Same here, i was in Knebworth Park in the UK in 1976 when 10cc played there, i was working for Artistes Services on security & i can remember exactly where i was when 10cc started playing this song. Everytime i walk past the same spot it takes me back to the summer of 1976, Happy days!!. And 10cc were much better than the Rolling Stones who played later in the day!
I’m “only” 60…I clearly remember being totally captivated by the atmospheric sound of this song, and even if I couldn’t fully grasp the lyrics, LOL. My being about 13 and rather slow on the uptake hardly negates the fact that this song is iconic…
@@tonyjones1560 here here I'm with you Tony my sweety was a kid in the early 70s and music like 10cc was just beautiful especially I'm not in love a very sensual song indeed ♥️♥️♥️😍😍😊😘
This song should definitely be put in a time capsule (along with so many other singers, composers and bands' masterpieces) and then be sent to space as a sample of the beautiful things this civilization did.
Γειά σας από Ελλάδα! Αυτό το τραγούδι είναι το αγαπημένο μου τραγούδι και δεν θα το ξεχάσω ποτέ. Το 1975 ήμουν 15 χρόνων και τώρα είμαι 63 και ακόμη το ακούω και θα ήθελα να πάω πίσω σε εκείνη την εποχή!!!
One of the most technically perfect songs ever recorded. Timeless. And how can you resist that luscious voiceover “Be quiet. Big Boys don’t cry…Big Boys don’t cry”?
I will never get over this song. Found it when I was in middle school, listened to it every single day and never got tired of it. Such a masterpiece. xx
I agree,,,it made sense while growing up,,can't imagine radio without this one tune,,,stops me in my tracks yet today,,,,total trance...love forever😯whoever you are...pat
Eu tinha 16 anos naquela época...bons tempos aqueles!!... éramos puros e românticos ...posso fechar os olhos e me sentir-me de volta ao passado!! São Paulo/Brasil
Those of us who were teenagers in the 70’s were so fortunate to experience the music, I was 16 when this came out and this song still sounds so fresh to this day, just like Lowdown by Boz Skaggs also💕
What I love about this group is they were a true team and whoever had an idea they would work on it together. Everyone was involved. No egos, just the love of music. Great band.
I was 10 years old in 1975. It seemed there was always a radio on everywhere you went back then. You learned these amazing songs without even realizing it. This song resonates so deeply in me as if it’s always been there.
I was 11, and didn't know what love was, but knew how moving this song was...and is. There is an amazing documentary from the band on the making...and the girl who whispered "Be quiet, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry,..." was the producers secretary.
Plenty of people write songs like this even in 2023. But none of them get to be recorded and become global hits because the world doesn't work that way anymore.
@@Screenwriting That required many hours of recording and manual editing, sometimes with scissors, all analog , no digital pitch correction. Few are willing to do that much work these days.
@@melvinbrown1347 Not saying there were no effects, nor was the engineering particularly unique, Zappa did this a lot. I’m saying that the effects were all analog and very, very painstakingly manually edited. The melotron-like background vocals were recorded over many hours and mixed over many more. Few would bother to take that kind of time today. Like firing up a steam locomotive.
There is a cool story about how, while they were recording, thinking about vocal fills, the studio secretary popped her head in to announce a phone call or something trite, and they realized they found the voice for “Big boys don’t cry”… What a great song, what a great time to have grown up. As I get ready to pull up stakes here on earth, I’m so grateful to have grown up during this era.
The story behind this song is great! The world and music has changed so much since the time of this tune! It takes me back to a better time! Never heard that “pulling up stakes” analogy before! 😅 prob won’t be too long till I gotta check out, too! Stay cool, friend!
Firstly, I love your moniker! Mr Fife happened to be my favorite character on Andy Griffith - he was the best and made me laugh hysterically every episode. 🤣 His antics were over the top; he was hilarious. Secondly, the story about who did the fill for the line "Big boys don't cry" is interesting. I'd never heard that. Thirdly, the 70s were indeed a magnificent time to grow up... I had just entered University and this song was one of my favorites at the time. I played the album so much I'm surprised I didn't wear it completely out. 😅 And lastly, your analogy regarding the length of our lives and "pulling up stakes" soon is somehow comforting to me. It's a beautiful way to visualize a sometimes difficult concept to grapple with. I like your style - we'll simply have to find another place to set up our tents when we're done camping here on earth. Surely the infinite has millions of places for us each and all to find the perfect spot in paradise to rest. Bless you for sharing such a beautiful image. It comforts me in this my sixth+ decade. 🥰💞🏕🌕🪐⭐️ Best wishes, Bhörn
And lucky you. Sounds like you didn't have an alcoholic nut Dad like me. I agree. Beautifully done. Got me through. Dream Weaver. Blinded by the light.
This song got an emmy for its technical merit. If you knew what they did with analog methods as compared to today's digital methods, it would blow your mind. It took nearly 4 months (if memory serves) to mix this one song, today, we could do it in a few hours on a computer. And its way cool......
I'm 61 years old (i.e., from the analog/cassette/8-track era). I definitely have a great appreciation for incredible compositions/productions such as "I'm Not in Love" and others from that era (e.g., Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."). Given the technical limitations back in the day, let's just say that the creative people always had to "try a little harder."
Wow! The absolute best times of my life ❤Yes I'm listening to this and it is now 2023....And still after all these years no music no lyrics have ever topped these great songs and yes songs with meaning ❤❤❤ I will forever miss that wonderful time and wish it could come back. Love to YOU all xo. We were beyond blessed to have lived and been in that great time. Right? Sray safe and take care 💖 Mary from California..
@@FRANKLOMBARDI-iv5xs After reading your comment I listened to the song again and just started tearing up, Thanks alot Frank 😥💟 Lol...lol... But for real it really is so great to read that you have the same feelings about that time in our lives. But yeah I did cry I know that's probably silly and a little embarrassing for me to even say Everything seemed so different then and I think oh no am I sounding like my parents when they talked about their time, Maybe I am wrong but I believe we had the best it just seems like a more selfish world now.And that song (all the songs then) Was great!! I will cherish all of that always! Well I thank you again so much for sharing. Take care and stay safe!! Hey can I ask you something? That song when he says "I'm not in love "...From a guy's view he really is in love right? Does he just not want to admit it? Lol ...I had to ask...LOL LOL. 🤗
I was a very young soldier in 1975, I was bullied. I would play this song recorded on my cassette player and just listen. Now I'm just an old nobody living on borrowed time.
Just hearing this transports me back to the absolute best summer there was! Hot weather, fantastic parties with this as the soundtrack. I was 19 and life was just wonderful with no angst or worries just wonderful people and happiness . What a song !
YESSSSS ...... brings back the most wonderful memories of my youth, too. No worries, free, happy .... and happy in love with my then boyfriend now husband for 45 years.
I'm not in love So don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up Don't get me wrong, Don't think you've got it made I'm not in love, no no, It's because. I like to see you But then again That doesn't mean you mean that much to me So if I call you Don't make a fuss Don't tell your friends about "the two of us" I'm not in love, no no, It's because. Be quiet, Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry I keep your picture Upon the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there So don't you ask me To give it back I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me I'm not in love, no no, It's because. Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me Ooh, you'll wait a long time Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me Ooh, you'll wait a long time I'm not in love So don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up Don't get me wrong, Don't think you've got it made I'm not in love I'm not in love
Had a big juke box and pool table game room at the public pool .these songs take me back to the 70s the simple times before computers cellphones . For you kids and adults too young to remember, the early 70s to 1980 where great times as a 1967 model these old song's like this , take me back like it was yesterday. .. Big boys don't cry... Big boys don't cry., 😊
I liked this song and 10cc the minute I heard it the first time, and almost half a century later I still do. If/when it rarely comes on the radio, I stop whatever I'm doing and just listen - loving every minute of it...
Tempos que não esquecemos jamais. Músicas eternas , a sociedade perdeu a sua essência e sensibilidade para compor . Anos dourados , nos levam a viajar em um sonho indescritível , quem viveu sabe do que estou dizendo. Essas músicas deveriam ser tocadas em todas as rádios. Quem sabe despertam novas inspirações.
@Larry DeLeau I always heard that heart beat too! The song is beautiful, music like that is so good for the world but too many people now don't understand that.
A time of real artist with real talent. A time when songs were written with meaning and beauty. A time when artist were multitalented. A time of Love and Good living. I feel sorry for the kids of today.
Concordo plenamente, até hoje eu escuto, foi época com tantas músicas lindas, infelizmente hoje em dia tá difícil as músicas hoje a maior parte é lixo!!
What a unique love song. So rich with dreamy music and vocals. The strong denial of being in love of course means he is in love ...he is just wrestling with coming to grips with that reality. Can totally relate. Ahhh....to be a teenager again.
So musically different to the songs I listened to growing up in the 50's and 60's. Hearing this when I was 75 and was married for four years struck hard with it's mystical atmosphere, simple but intriguing words, slight change of tempo has stayed with me till today when I am now 75. The music crap I hear today makes me violently vomit in my coffee. It seems there is a total effort to never makes songs like those from the 50's , 60's and 70's ever again and that all females singing now sound like they are being tortured by a mad scientist. So sad for the kids of today for unless they find out about the music of yore, they will be missing out of wonderful experiences.
I'm 29 and grew up listening to this, my step father listened to everything he was born 1961, on the radio, he always had classic rock, temptations, or kizz playing, 70's, 80's music Glad to have had the opportunity to know good music because today's music is trash. 100 percent Agreed.
The greatest hit of the summer 1975...i worked on a radio station and every hour this song was in the call of the public. The voices were mixed so perfectly like a gang of angels...
Love this masterpiece. I was 15 in 1975. Just started dating the most beautiful 14 year old girl on the planet. Heard this song as I rode my bicycle back from her house every night. I'm 63 now. She's 62. Married forever. She's still the most beautiful girl on the planet and we still listen to this song together and it takes us back to the summer of '75.❤
Beautiful! Lucky you two! 🫶

Hang in there my friend. Have faith, keep the faith. She’s waiting for you in paradise
This reminme of growing up with no worries in the world. I'm a 53 year old black guy,I love this song.

YES!!
I agree with the '70s but I'd take the mid to late '60s over the '80s. The best classic rock was the mid 60s to mid 70s.
Yes a true Masterpiece of better times. I'm now 66 and it makes me sad that our country has changed so much.
But this music will last forever.
It's just mind boggling isn't it? I'll be 66 this year myself. Cheers!

Because of music like this, I just want one more week in the 1970’s. As a teenager then, that was absolutely my happiest time in my life, before pain and regrets took over. This song is so hypnotic and classically played, I used to play it over and over, as it put me in a trance. I miss the 1970’s, and so may we have peace from God my dear friends and learn to love each other like brothers and sisters and enjoy music like this forever.
Amen 🙏

If I were back in 1975, I’d have a huge afro and platform shoes.
Only 6 yrs old when this came out. I do remember it, still....
Absolutely so true ❤
Yep!!
"I'm Not In Love" by 10cc, released in 1975, is a classic rock ballad that stands out for its innovative production, lush arrangements, and the unique story behind its creation. The song was written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, and its recording process was nothing short of groundbreaking.
The story begins with Stewart's exploration of a new piece of recording equipment, the Ericsson Vocoder, which allowed him to manipulate and blend sounds in innovative ways. During a recording session, Stewart began experimenting with the device, creating a sonic landscape by layering vocal harmonies and other sounds. The band soon realized they had stumbled upon something special and decided to build a song around these experimental recordings.
The distinctive vocal sound that permeates "I'm Not In Love" was achieved by recording the voices of Stewart, Gouldman, and other band members singing a multitude of notes. Each singer was asked to sustain a single note for as long as possible, resulting in a vast collection of vocal tones. These recordings were then mixed and manipulated using the Ericsson Vocoder, creating the ethereal and choir-like vocal texture that became a defining element of the song.
Lyrically, "I'm Not In Love" is a complex exploration of love and denial. The protagonist of the song insists that they are not in love, yet the repeated refrain of the title suggests a tension between the denial and the underlying emotions. The lyrics capture the ambivalence and vulnerability inherent in matters of the heart, making the song relatable to a wide audience.
The recording process of "I'm Not In Love" was painstaking and meticulous. The band utilized a unique technique of creating a sonic mural, layering tracks upon tracks to achieve a rich and immersive sound. The result was a groundbreaking piece of work that defied conventional expectations of what a pop song could be.
Upon its release, "I'm Not In Love" became a massive hit, reaching the top of the charts in multiple countries. Its success was not only due to the captivating production but also the emotional resonance of the song. The innovative use of vocal techniques and production methods in "I'm Not In Love" set it apart as a trailblazer in the world of pop music, influencing subsequent generations of musicians and producers.
"I'm Not In Love" remains a timeless classic, celebrated for its artistry, innovation, and ability to capture the complexities of human emotions. The song's enduring popularity is a testament to its status as a groundbreaking piece of musical history.

this song is 46 years old this year and still sounds timeless in 2021
It's kind of sad and nice at the same time that (I believe) no one COULD create a song even on the same PLANET of this caliber.
46!?😱. Oh my God am I so old. I was 10 when this song came out over the radio waves. Jaws was the number 1 hit movie on the silver screen and Disco was going stronger than ever. I love my childhood. Wish the way it was back then here in America was the same today. I miss everything of how America used to be
@@ginal.f.3462 i was im high school lol still love this song!
That's what good music does.. feel timeless..
I was 6 when this came out...gosh I’m old now. LOL
I hope my children understand why I always have tears every time I listen to a masterpiece like this...
Only those among us, lucky enough to have known love, will understand what the song is about...
Jeez you said it 💞
Listen to BREAD...❤️❤️..You will have tears in your eyes for sure...Miss that time..Life was different... Not Like today..Worlds out of

Amen!

I was 15 in 1975. 10CC was the best band. I have all their albums. I’m almost 63. Still listen to this song.
I heard this song back in the 70s also. It brings back alot of memories. Rocking Robin.

I was 17 yrs old in 1975 and getting ready to graduate from high school. This song has beautiful memories of carefree days. I am 65 now and preparing to retire and still listening to this song. We had the best music.....
Smiles, how are you doing?

Love this song and Bohemian Rhapsody! Junior senior year in high school, class of '76!

We all want to retire and get the f out of here
I could listen to this song a million times and never get sick of it.
I've probably listened to it a million times. Still one of my favorites.
Same here.

Hello, hope you're somewhere safe from the virus
@@mariakorakaki4116 stay safe from all of those fires. Love from Northern California
The song came out in 75 now I’m 75 and still listening
I particularly remember hearing this song for The Very First Time, coming from my neighbor's radio back in 1975 when I was only an 11 year old kid.I was playing in the backyard with My Beloved Siblings on a Beautiful White Clouded Sunny Day, and Being So Happy 😊 and thinking How Truly Beautiful The Moment, and Life was at That Moment. I'll Never Forget That Day, I felt like I was In Heaven, and I Truly was at that moment in time. Thank you 10cc for making This Beautiful song that is Cemented in My Memory Forever.🥰🥰👍👍👍!!!
47 years later he is still happily married to the lady he wrote this song for.
No shit?!! That's awesome.
Awesome, absolutely awesome. These paradoxical lyrics said it all.
I guess she never asked for her picture back that was covering that messy stain on his wall....of course he knew that she knew....I really dint mean that much too him...
@@jerryconner4270 awww! 🤓😄

One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Timeless and unforgettable.

Virginia Bravo absolutely
Maybe I'm Amazed by paul McCartney or Thank You by Led Zeppelin are the the best unarguably.
Virginia Bravo this the dirtbag anthem
@@b3at2 The lyrics don't seem romantic at all. More like an anthem for friends zone lol
This song makes me want to go back to the 70s and 80s and live out the rest of my life there forever. Best time ever to be alive.
18 years old when this song came out oh how much I miss the 70's. No worries at all enjoying the good times.
Очень красивая песня
This song puts me in a zone I can't explain. I guess you'd have to grow up in the 70s to understand
It’s mesmerizing ♥️
Yesss!!! I totally get that...
Ich war 15 Jahre alt und sofort tief berührt, als ich 1975 diesen wunderbaren Song von 10cc das erste Mal hörte.
Heute, 45 Jahre später, liebe ich dieses zauberhafte Lied immer noch und die Melodie beamt mich leicht und einfach zurück in meine Jugendzeit. Was für eine sphärische Melancholie und magische Klangwelt! Einfach göttlich!
I was born in 2004 and somehow this song really appeals to me. I don't know what I just really like this song.
I was there, and I know what you mean. I was going out with my high school sweetheart. I was planning ahead and heading off to college. My high school sweetheart headed out west. Loved that girl and that timeframe. Music like this brings the old memories back. Fast forward, met another girl who became my wife, mother of my children. We've been together 43 years now, have two grownup kids and 4 grandchildren. I wouldn't change a thing, but music from this timeframe, and this song very much included, brings back a lot of fond memories. I wish my grandkids can experience the same similar joys that I got to. Life is so much different now.
I use to smooch to this song with my then girlfriend, at the Execative disco. We are married and been together for 49 years, we are still very much in love, Maria xxx
Love to hear that
You just about beat my marriage of forty years.
We are also still going strong.
Congratulations.
My wife and I are still newlyweds.
10 years and more in love every day.
Let's not forget that wonderfully melodic bass part leading into the whispers. Absolute masterpiece that still chokes me up after all these years.
Ya man I hear that.
❤🎸🥁✌️👍🌠🌈
My God we had no idea what was to become of this world... none of us had anything fancy yet everyone seemed happy and genuine. I was 10 when this song came out but it truly feels like it was just yesterday.
❤ yep
So true.
It was a simple life and world.
This song brings me back to being 18 and in love. Immediate joyful memories.
Our world is radically different now.
Sadly the world has decayed since then.
I lost the woman who I will ever love. Never take for granted what you have, folks. Trust me.
Mate no how you feel same boat just keep going it's hard day's 😢😢😢❤❤😂❤
Here I am... Feeling the same.
And yet another soul feeling the same loss and hurt as you. Stay strong if you can
3:48 I use to stay upstairs in my room and across the street was a friends house and the boy I liked would go to his home. I waited a long time for him
But my parents sold our home and I never saw him again.
Yes this song makes me remember waiting a long time.
@@pattyoconnell1953 When I was six and in first grade, there was a boy in my classroom who was so different from the other kids. I was a little girl, but I felt this little boy's spirit. One day, he was no longer in our classroom. He and his family moved from Chicago to the suburbs in the fall of 1973. I felt that he would have been the only one who I could relate to, and I was right. I never saw him again, but met some of his neighbors in a restaurant who told me that he was still a very kind, quiet, humble person who married a very good woman. I felt that at that point, I would be eaten by savages...and I was.
I remember this song way back when, I was seeing Darlene off and on for years, and kept telling myself that"I'm not in love" But I truly was, I have been married to Darlene now for 21+ years.
Congratulations, man. You're living the dream.
When you were off is when I was on, dude. Hiya Darleeeeene!!
Congratulations ❤️🌹
Seems I ignore that feeling
Memories of an old girlfriend at Jacksonville NC, Camp LeJeune, when I was in the United States Marine Corps.
Best time to grow up. I was 17, nearly 18 when this came out. Best music, simpler times.
Wasn't it bloody marvellous back then. In '75 - I was living in England, came back 'home' in '76.
Home is Melbourne Aust.
Man.. I Loved this song for so many years...Just a Beautiful song..Great song..When I hear this...Brings me to a Big open Field walking..Sunny day or a Rainbow...Looking in the distance as far I can see....Brings me to a different Place...So.............Beautiful....60s..70s..80s...The Greatest Music ever...❤❤😁🎸🥁👍✌️🌠🌈
I was 17 in 1975, one of the best songs from that year. I'll be 65 soon, I still remember all the words. The 70's had some of the greatest music.
Same here, i was in Knebworth Park in the UK in 1976 when 10cc played there, i was working for Artistes Services on security & i can remember exactly where i was when 10cc started playing this song. Everytime i walk past the same spot it takes me back to the summer of 1976, Happy days!!. And 10cc were much better than the Rolling Stones who played later in the day!
Yo tambien cumplire 65 años. Y me sigue gustando esta melodia. Hermosa😍♥️
I’m “only” 60…I clearly remember being totally captivated by the atmospheric sound of this song, and even if I couldn’t fully grasp the lyrics, LOL. My being about 13 and rather slow on the uptake hardly negates the fact that this song is iconic…
@@tonyjones1560 here here I'm with you Tony my sweety was a kid in the early 70s and music like 10cc was just beautiful especially I'm not in love a very sensual song indeed ♥️♥️♥️😍😍😊😘
@@ceciliatorres5544 Es mágica hasta la fecha muy buen tema
Like a scent brings you back 50 years..7th grade..in love..this songs power shows the very power of music..and..thru medium eternal
I was in 11th grade. Use to hear it on AM radio. Had a girlfriend but was NOT in love. 🙂
Music is the truist art!! 🎉🎉❤
This song should definitely be put in a time capsule (along with so many other singers, composers and bands' masterpieces) and then be sent to space as a sample of the beautiful things this civilization did.
Sim
I am 78...still love it! One of the wonderful ones, everlasting.
Big boys don't cry 😢- bullshit.
This song never gets old. Hauntingly beautiful.
You can say that again.
C est vrai
Frfr...The music back in day meant something, made sense and was very respectful... I always loved this song.❤❤❤❤
It’s ageless like us, the listeners, I feel as young now as I did 1975, but i’m 67 now.😂🙏☮
You nailed it!!😺😁
Γειά σας από Ελλάδα! Αυτό το τραγούδι είναι το αγαπημένο μου τραγούδι και δεν θα το ξεχάσω ποτέ. Το 1975 ήμουν 15 χρόνων και τώρα είμαι 63 και ακόμη το ακούω και θα ήθελα να πάω πίσω σε εκείνη την εποχή!!!
Em 1975 eu nasci. 🥰
Sou do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Estou com 48 anos e amo essa música.
One of the most technically perfect songs ever recorded. Timeless. And how can you resist that luscious voiceover “Be quiet. Big Boys don’t cry…Big Boys don’t cry”?
FACT… ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS
I thought they were singing, "Big boys don't cry." ? .........
Am l wrong then ? Kind regards. I will have to research the lyrics xx
I will never get over this song. Found it when I was in middle school, listened to it every single day and never got tired of it. Such a masterpiece. xx
I agree,,,it made sense while growing up,,can't imagine radio without this one tune,,,stops me in my tracks yet today,,,,total trance...love forever😯whoever you are...pat
Aquí también. Lo mejor de lo mejor. 10cc
Totally agree with you, such a masterpiece. 10cc also had other masterpieces, a great band from the great music era of the 1970s.
Juliza tu as tout à fait raison! Merco.
Sister of tones!
I was 18 in 1975. Everything in this song is light years away. It always makes me travel beyond the universe. Thanx, 10cc - ✌️✌️
Me too! 18 in '75! I go right back to then when I hear this dong!
Me too. I was off to college that year. This song was all over the radio for months.

They'll be playing this on Mars in 2060.
Oh YEAH !!!!!!
Absolutely
They better Ha
One of the top ten in heaven 🙌
Those of us who were teenagers in the 70’s were so fortunate to experience the music, I was 16 when this came out and this song still sounds so fresh to this day, just like Lowdown by Boz Skaggs also💕
I was born in the '80s, and I still did to enjoy it today. Some music is just timeless.
Me to was 16. I love 10cc.
Just listened to Boz
@@margaretbrady9158 Me too
70's music ❤❤❤
What I love about this group is they were a true team and whoever had an idea they would work on it together. Everyone was involved. No egos, just the love of music. Great band.
I was in 8th grade when this song came out! I am 63 and the tune still sounds amazing.
I was 10 years old in 1975. It seemed there was always a radio on everywhere you went back then. You learned these amazing songs without even realizing it. This song resonates so deeply in me as if it’s always been there.
Amen
I too was 10 years old
I was 15 years old and yah this was music was music. Not junk of today.
Me too.
I was 11, and didn't know what love was, but knew how moving this song was...and is. There is an amazing documentary from the band on the making...and the girl who whispered "Be quiet, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry,..." was the producers secretary.
It is not just a song... is a masterpiece...
Alot of time and pain went into making this track
It's a masterpiece
Yes!
I love returning to 1975. This song just makes me feel good inside. Good times for me
I don't think any song has ever hit me in the feels quite like this one. A timeless masterpiece.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
I agree
I know exactly what you mean, something I can't put my finger on, it takes me some where but I am not sure.
1975 graduating high school. What a smooth soulful song
Exactly what I believe as well 🫠
They don't write songs like this anymore. Absolutely gorgeous.
Nice to here. Im vom Germany. My Englisch not. Sorry
It's all your fault, leftist.
Truly Truly
Plenty of people write songs like this even in 2023. But none of them get to be recorded and become global hits because the world doesn't work that way anymore.
I love this song from when I was 20. 70s, 80s music was so good
My all time favorite song, I was only 12yrs old when it came out, But it's stuck with me my entire life. It's a masterpiece.❤
It is my favorite of all time as well. Never gets old it just doesn’t
This song brings back so many teenage memories never to be forgotten.
I was 16 when it came out, waiting to start my first proper job. Hope your teenage memories are all good ones .
Same here, those were the simple days. This song and music from the 70's always puts me back there, growing up in northern California.
Junior High 😁
Carefree times back then.
Yes! First teenage love!
Not just beautiful and thoughtful, this recording is actually a masterpiece of sound engineering that can never happen again.
Yes the recording is top notch.
why not?
@@Screenwriting That required many hours of recording and manual editing, sometimes with scissors, all analog , no digital pitch correction. Few are willing to do that much work these days.
@@bobconnor1210that's not true , I have heard plenty of low fi bands ,and punk rock bands and post often recorded with no effects
@@melvinbrown1347 Not saying there were no effects, nor was the engineering particularly unique, Zappa did this a lot. I’m saying that the effects were all analog and very, very painstakingly manually edited. The melotron-like background vocals were recorded over many hours and mixed over many more. Few would bother to take that kind of time today. Like firing up a steam locomotive.
I was 13 when this came out and it's still one of my favourite songs. It's got an ethereal quality like a dream
I was born 73, when I hear this song I'm a young girl in my nans kitchen with this being played on the radio.
The 70s music is incomparable!
80 nice to
So true
There is a cool story about how, while they were recording, thinking about vocal fills, the studio secretary popped her head in to announce a phone call or something trite, and they realized they found the voice for “Big boys don’t cry”…
What a great song, what a great time to have grown up. As I get ready to pull up stakes here on earth, I’m so grateful to have grown up during this era.
Kathy Redfern! 😃
I heard about this too, amazing little side story 💖
The story behind this song is great! The world and music has changed so much since the time of this tune! It takes me back to a better time! Never heard that “pulling up stakes” analogy before! 😅 prob won’t be too long till I gotta check out, too! Stay cool, friend!
Firstly, I love your moniker! Mr Fife happened to be my favorite character on Andy Griffith - he was the best and made me laugh hysterically every episode. 🤣 His antics were over the top; he was hilarious. Secondly, the story about who did the fill for the line "Big boys don't cry" is interesting. I'd never heard that. Thirdly, the 70s were indeed a magnificent time to grow up... I had just entered University and this song was one of my favorites at the time. I played the album so much I'm surprised I didn't wear it completely out. 😅 And lastly, your analogy regarding the length of our lives and "pulling up stakes" soon is somehow comforting to me. It's a beautiful way to visualize a sometimes difficult concept to grapple with. I like your style - we'll simply have to find another place to set up our tents when we're done camping here on earth. Surely the infinite has millions of places for us each and all to find the perfect spot in paradise to rest. Bless you for sharing such a beautiful image. It comforts me in this my sixth+ decade. 🥰💞🏕🌕🪐⭐️
Best wishes,

And lucky you. Sounds like you didn't have an alcoholic nut Dad like me. I agree. Beautifully done. Got me through. Dream Weaver. Blinded by the light.

@@FRANKLOMBARDI-iv5xs i glad remember,how romantic💞💫🌠🌌
This song got an emmy for its technical merit. If you knew what they did with analog methods as compared to today's digital methods, it would blow your mind. It took nearly 4 months (if memory serves) to mix this one song, today, we could do it in a few hours on a computer. And its way cool......
I was sure that song was made in 90s and that it's Sting performing it... 😂
I'm 61 years old (i.e., from the analog/cassette/8-track era). I definitely have a great appreciation for incredible compositions/productions such as "I'm Not in Love" and others from that era (e.g., Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."). Given the technical limitations back in the day, let's just say that the creative people always had to "try a little harder."
There is no music today as beautiful as this
I can"t imagine. Nothing like today. All digatil.
This vocalist (Eric Stewart) and Sting sound completely different. He sounds more like Paul McCartney.
2023…this is still such an emotional song….his voice, the instruments, such passion in every note 🎼🎹🎸
2024
This will never get old
Like a scent that carries you back 50 years. So moving.
I don't think I took the 1970s for granted, but the older I get, the better those times were.

Everything seemed so different then and I think oh no am I sounding like my parents when they talked about their time, Maybe I am wrong but I believe we had the best it just seems like a more selfish world now.And that song (all the songs then) Was great!! I will cherish all of that always! Well I thank you again so much for sharing. Take care and stay safe!! Hey can I ask you something?

I was 18 when this came out and I've loved it ever since. What an emotional heart hitting song. Thanks 10CC for the memories.
I was a very young soldier in 1975, I was bullied. I would play this song recorded on my cassette player and just listen. Now I'm just an old nobody living on borrowed time.

Had a big juke box and pool table game room at the public pool .these songs take me back to the 70s the simple times before computers cellphones . For you kids and adults too young to remember, the early 70s to 1980 where great times as a 1967 model these old song's like this , take me back like it was yesterday. .. Big boys don't cry... Big boys don't cry., 😊
Nearly 50 years old and still amazing!
Timeless classic!
Quelle musique, beau slow
So i was 10 years then i can remember as it was yesterday absolute a masterpiece
Big Boys dont cry
Never tire of hearing this classic hit from the 70's. I was only a toddler at the time it was out.
Thank you 10 cc for an amazing song/story. I was born in 1963, very fortunate to have been present to Witness the Best Decades in Music.
I was also born in 63. We are lucky.
Ditto.
63 here also but still feel like a 10 year old !! 12 when this song came out. Not old enough to appreciate it back then but I do now.
Born in ’63 here too. Yep we we’re lucky for sure

Tempos que não esquecemos jamais. Músicas eternas , a sociedade perdeu a sua essência e sensibilidade para compor . Anos dourados , nos levam a viajar em um sonho indescritível , quem viveu sabe do que estou dizendo. Essas músicas deveriam ser tocadas em todas as rádios. Quem sabe despertam novas inspirações.

One of my all time favorites 💕💕
I was in love with my highschool sweetheart 😻
I still miss her!😢
If you listen very carefully..you hear a heartbeat throughout the song...nice touch..💓
Oh yeah. Nice catch.
Yes, It feels like my heartbeat💟
It wouldn't be a love song without a heart beat , timeless classic.
The kick drum was made with a Moog Synthesizer.
@Larry DeLeau I always heard that heart beat too! The song is beautiful, music like that is so good for the world but too many people now don't understand that.
I was lucky enough to see 10cc live here in Montreal in 1978. Front row seats.and so amazing.
I wish I could go back there few days just to have that wonderful feeling again. It will never be forgotten. I lived every single moment of it!!
This song never goes away. I know you guys never thought you would create the most beautiful song in the universe, just know you did! Thank you!
A time of real artist with real talent. A time when songs were written with meaning and beauty. A time when artist were multitalented. A time of Love and Good living. I feel sorry for the kids of today.
Also a time with no autotune.
Spot on.
Your right …best music, best times … The youth will never know how much better life was back then ..
Concordo plenamente, até hoje eu escuto, foi época com tantas músicas lindas, infelizmente hoje em dia tá difícil as músicas hoje a maior parte é lixo!!
Yes, it's allright
What a unique love song. So rich with dreamy music and vocals. The strong denial of being in love of course means he is in love ...he is just wrestling with coming to grips with that reality. Can totally relate. Ahhh....to be a teenager again.
Me think thou doest protest too much.
Definitely reminds one of different times
once in love, always in love. Once a marine, always a marine.

So musically different to the songs I listened to growing up in the 50's and 60's. Hearing this when I was 75 and was married for four years struck hard with it's mystical atmosphere, simple but intriguing words, slight change of tempo has stayed with me till today when I am now 75. The music crap I hear today makes me violently vomit in my coffee. It seems there is a total effort to never makes songs like those from the 50's , 60's and 70's ever again and that all females singing now sound like they are being tortured by a mad scientist. So sad for the kids of today for unless they find out about the music of yore, they will be missing out of wonderful experiences.
I'm 29 and grew up listening to this, my step father listened to everything he was born 1961, on the radio, he always had classic rock, temptations, or kizz playing, 70's, 80's music Glad to have had the opportunity to know good music because today's music is trash. 100 percent Agreed.
Супер!!! Слушаю 40лет. Одна из моих любимых групп
The greatest hit of the summer 1975...i worked on a radio station and every hour this song was in the call of the public. The voices were mixed so perfectly like a gang of angels...
Takes me back to that summer and I like it❤
Seems to be about gay love
