I'm 82 years old and I have loved this song since I first heard it many years ago. I can feel the words and music like no other song has ever made me feel. A true masterpiece,
ABSOLUTELY!! I’m 63 and was in high school around 1976 when this song came out and OMG … what an impression it made on me … I didn’t really understand the meaning of the lyrics so much as I wasn’t dating yet … but the haunting melody left an indelible mark in my memory banks and hasn’t left nearly five decades later … a MASTERPIECE as has been stated … simply BRILLIANT!!! 🤩👍🤩
@@nigelbeaumont1109❤❤I agree with every thing you said ! We have to hope & pray that things get better for this whole planet ! There is so much heartache all over the world ! ❤❤
When this great song came out in 75, it hadsuch a different sound and aura to it that it captivated me and millions. I’m so glad to have lived the 70’s. What a GREAT time ❤
Around 1976 in the dark early morning I drove down Bondi Road [Sydney] toward the beach. The stars were tingling, the light of a twinkling ship was out to sea. The roads were extremely quiet anf this song was playing. It was simply an awesome feeling which I have never forgot !!!
I was in eighth grade, and our teacher played the radio during our reading time. This song came on, and it blew my mind. I was useless the rest of the day. It's that special.
2024 anyone? Can you imagine this song is almost 50 yrs. Btw, there are many beautiful songs but not many live song is better than the studio version. This is one of those. Very majestic & heavenly fantastic❤❤❤❤
The summer of 1975. I had just graduated HS and was on my way to College. this song came out and completely captivated my summer. To this day, when I hear this song, I go back to that summer of 1975. And it still brings tears to my eyes.
tears of joy I hope. I get melancholic for a much simpler time in my life, when I hear this song too, but it only brings back good memories when mom was still around, young and vibrant, and I was just a happy-go-lucky kid. The funny thing is that back then I always felt bad for the singer; thinking he must have felt really sad to perform a song like this. It was also the same year I would hear Terry Jacks seasons in the sun on the radio all the time. I guess we were all still mourning Vietnam back then.
We took a lot for granted in the 70's and 80's. We all drove awesome V8 cars, listened to the best music in the world, awesome friends, and loved with great passion. Never know what you have until it's gone! But the memories remain.
Still driving awesome 70's muscle, still listening this GREAT MUSIC, still in touch with my 1st girlfriend on a weekly basis and older than dirt ha ha ha
These songs will never come again. This era of song writing and musicianship was refined through gigs and living the hard life of being a band and traveling the road. Now days, kids make songs from their bedroom with mixing console and auto-tune. What you are hearing is what you get when you pay the price. These guys sound live just like you heard it on the radio in the 70's. What a wonderful song and memories of days gone by.
Interesting trivia. “Big boys don’t cry”was the voice of the studio manager’s secretary. They recruited her into the song. The haunting ambient sounds during the bridge was a child’s toy.
There's a very good documentary about 10CC on UA-cam. It's said that it took 3 weeks to get right and record the backing vocal for this song. A very talented band.
When this was a hit I was a 20 yr old United States Marine on Okinawa. I had just received the dreaded "Dear John Letter" from my cute girlfriend back home in the States. I was heart broken.... that was 1975. Im 67 yrs old I still remember the pain. But, I've been happily married 41 yrs now.
My God, they perform and sound as just as they did 40 years ago! This era is to be cherished as this level of talent will never be repeated and someday be a memory.
It's pretty amazing how much it sounds like the original studio version considering Graham Gouldman (the bass player) is the only member of this particular line-up that appeared on the original recording.
@@Sbrownlee I was going to say the lead singer is too young to be one of the original members but WOW what a voice. Great job. Sounds almost like the original version.
Gosh we had great music. These young kids have no idea about it. Im 76 and my kids tell me they love all this music bc they wud hear it when we were in the car going somewhere. Very special!! ❤❤❤
I listen to this song now, and am transformed into the sixteen year-old me in the summer of 1975, crazy in love with an angel who saw me only as her friend. I never did get the girl, but the song has formed such a vivid, emotional impact in my heart and soul. Man how I miss youth and the music of the '70s
I just saw this and burst out crying. This is music, I miss those days and know we will never have such perfection with such feeling. Godspeed my friends, Godspeed!!
I honestly remember the impact when it was released, and sitting here today 47 years later and still have the same feeling, it says everything about that song 🙂
I was 16 and it was the best time of my life and I knew it then and appreciated it very much. I partied like a fool (I live in Fort Lauderdale Florida LOL talk about babes!) worked at a bar! Yes at 16 lol and drove a Dodge Charger… my first car. I don’t smoke any more, but remember weed was $20 an OZ! Rolled a joint from the rolling paper that came with Cheech and Chong Big Bambu album… 😂
Without rock & roll of the 1950s followed by the pop explosion and innovation of the 1960s the 70s would not have been there. It was evolution of the very best.
I'm 66 and Bought this as a 7" vinyl when it came out, I still have it, along with all my other 10cc records. I went to see them live last year with my friends. Great. They sang Donna as an encore in acapella.
I think this is the best version of this song available on UA-cam even though it’s not all the original members. I really like his embellishment on the lead vocals.
@@lt7378 yes. Mick Wilson. I finally remembered. He stayed with the band for a few years but is no longer with them. He has a great voice but comes across as conceited in social media and interviews. Lol.
Yeah. Sorta. But I was 19 when this song came out and blew everyone away. Good memories, but I'm much happier and wiser than the kid I was in those years. Man did I do some stupid stuff.
This brings back such memories of hope and great times!! Flashes of scenes at the beach, going to the pool, movies, friends of all races, board games, spades, volleyball, basketball and cheating at Spades!! Young people listen up: it’s JUST LIKE the old people told me when I was 13!! Now I’m OLD and wondering where did the time go? How did I reach 60? 🤣🤣🤣 Time flies so make every day count.
@@andrewfortescue1634 I agree. I have been comparing radio version with this one, for a week now and I like this . Both sound wonderful to my old ❤️ heart.
62 myself and I remember mid 60s songs like, For Your Love / Pamela, Pamela/ no milk today, Bus stop (Hollies) and more that were written by Graham gouldman.
What's a record needle? Is that REcord or reCord? jk 😀😀 I even remember putting a nickle on the hand to stop the record from skipping. Good days, good memories.
I have several......in the 70's, there was so many talented musicians that you could walk into any club or hotel lounge and hear awesome bands! When all of these great songs came out, they learned them and played them while they were still getting air play. They were so good that they sounded just like the record. RIP Phil Miller (lead guitar), Richard (lead vocals, lead guitar) & DJ Johnson(drums), Gary Acklin(lead vocals, keyboard), and Don Garrett(bass).So many songs remind me of you. ❤️ Keep playing that funky music white boys❤❤❤❤❤. LR. Ar
Me, too. A lot of songs from our music brings my tears. It’s so beautiful, it is bittersweet, so much of our lives are in this song, and, for me, many more. 😢❤😊
Was 14 when this song came out. Dropped in rank from 1st to 38. What does life holď for me. Always had a fear deep down. Pulled up my socks and sleeve and decided to work. Today at 62, beautiful wife, loving son, 7 houses in two countries. It is all a gift from GOD.
Preciosa sorpresa la que nos trae Utube al televisor del salón. Disfrutando de temas inolvidables, cuando la Música nos lleva a tiempos pasados y nos hace sentir que seguimos vivos.
I agree another good live performance is heart with these dreams done in Seattle about ten years ago you'll know your watching the one im talking about annie has no shoes on they did alot of that song but the one in Seattle is breathtaking like this look it up peace from Brooklyn New York
I can remember write it in the car with my mother when I first heard this song, roughly about the year 1975. Every time I hear it it always brings by those memories when things were so simple. The Sun shined brighter, the food tasted better, and life was so much simpler. Hell, things are so now different than they were back in the seventies, you can no longer see Saturday morning cartoons.
I listen to this song on Siruis XM Radio on channel 70 and Yacht Rock Channel and I truly remember it back in the 1970's. Love this song !!!!! I also listen to it on UA-cam !!!! My best ERA 1970's - 1979 !!! I have a lot of Favorite Memories!!
ooo, well, you're never too old to feel sad or emotions.. emotional.. Judy, wish we were together to drop our tears..hi, wish you all red roses and better weather to come.. and virus to gogogogooo
i miss the 70s. For those who never had to fight a war, we are like the Veterans of the simple times. Keep these beautiful years alive. Anybody born after the 90s missed out on the nostalgia.
Nostalgia, by definition, is something which is reflected on. Therefore anybody who hears this at any age at any time in the future will experience nostalgia.
I know right? The crisp of the acoustic guitar is so prominent and ripe....its amazing how you can hear all the instruments so clearly yet so individually.
There is a great video on UA-cam that explains in detail how 10cc created this song. They were really ingenious on how they came up with creating and producing this fantastic tune.
I'm 82 years old and I have loved this song since I first heard it many years ago. I can feel the words and music like no other song has ever made me feel. A true masterpiece,
Me too. I’m your age.
ABSOLUTELY!!

The lyrics, the melancholy, it is indeed a masterpiece🥹
Chills every time I hear this song.. honestly can't explain why.. guess.. JUST BECAUSE
Me too since it came out on the radio ❤❤❤ love this song
“I’m Not In Love”
Got married in 1975, my beautiful wife and I are still married listening to this great song together love it.
God bless you both ❤

There are rare occasions when the live version of a song is actually better than the studio version. This is one of those occasions. Simply fantastic!
I wholeheartedly disagree
Live songs are always best
1000% agree...
Quem sabe faz ao vivo...a versão ficou linda! Tanto em Studio como ao vivo 👍
Bueno es mejor pues su voz del cantante maduro muy bien y mejoro pero es acertado es muy buena está versión

@@lt7378 yes. Mick Wilson. I finally remembered. He stayed with the band for a few years but is no longer with them. He has a great voice but comes across as conceited in social media and interviews. Lol.
Anyone who can give this a thumbs down has no idea what pure talent is. Perfection.
unless you're from Australia 🙃👎
THATS SO TRUE!!

Maybe the song upsets them,reminds them of what they had and no longer have.
Sure....you are right
So sad.,
So beautiful!
We, big Boys from 70's
are crying.
We wish 70's never end...
Yep, I'm in that club. Now I'm an old boy in the 2020's (not my eyes though)
My feelings exactly..
I was in my 20’s in the 70’s now I’m 70 in the 20’s.....
Are tears of the soul ..
Yeah. Sorta. But I was 19 when this song came out and blew everyone away. Good memories, but I'm much happier and wiser than the kid I was in those years. Man did I do some stupid stuff.
I'm 69 & still listern to all great songs of yester year, they have more melody than the crap they call music these days
One of thee most under-rated bands and one of the most creative.
Amazing sound wonderful harmony
True dat
I think my sister was conseived to this song 😂
Absolutely agree!
This brings back such memories of hope and great times!! Flashes of scenes at the beach, going to the pool, movies, friends of all races, board games, spades, volleyball, basketball and cheating at Spades!! Young people listen up: it’s JUST LIKE the old people told me when I was 13!! Now I’m OLD and wondering where did the time go? How did I reach 60? 🤣🤣🤣 Time flies so make every day count.
As a year old 59 man,i still love this song,in 2019,and i will in 2020
and beyond!!!!!
Takes me back to 1975!
They dont put the same effort into music these days.. this is better than the original
@@andrewfortescue1634 I agree. I have been comparing radio version with this one, for a week now and I like this . Both sound wonderful to my old ❤️ heart.
62 myself and I remember mid 60s songs like, For Your Love / Pamela, Pamela/ no milk today, Bus stop (Hollies) and more that were written by Graham gouldman.
I'm 59 too. This sounds as fresh as the first time it hit my heart.
I remember moving the record needle to listen to this over and over. Beautiful music, beautiful memories of wonderful days.
💖
Hi Diane, a lot easier to play repeat now but maybe not so engaging. Worth all the effort though for a song like this!!! Awesome voice and music!
That made me smile.....
What's a record needle? Is that REcord or reCord? jk 😀😀 I even remember putting a nickle on the hand to stop the record from skipping. Good days, good memories.
I'm still listening to this in 2025. It still takes me back to the driver's seat of the 67 Chevy Nova that I drove in highschool.
I miss those days!
When I first heard this song in the mid-1970's, I thought it was so eerie. So eerie, I kept listening to it.
Wow !! This takes me back 50 years.
Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry
Well done and thanks for the memories
News flash. Big boys do cry. Regards friend, rick
I lost my wife of 46 years and listening to this makes me cry for her.
So sad. Send you a hug. You lived something that not everyone does: Real and happy love.
I'm sorry for your loss honey
God bless!
Hope your ok, sorry you lost your wife. Hugs x
Me too we were together 49 years she was only 62 childhood sweetheart s copd smoking
I can never get tired of hearing this song... and I'm 55, so I was just 6 years old when it first played ❤❤❤
Where have 44 years gone. One of my favorite songs of 1975
Tell me about it
Im 35 im saying always the same 😖
One of the most haunting songs I have ever heard. A masterpiece.
Hard to believe! This song is 45 years ago. A piece of my heart.
It was a huge part of my life in the 70’s. I loved 10cc.
@@cherylmacgregor5650 Same here Cheryl
I hear you.
The year I was born. One of my favorites.
Oh a piece of mine also, Shhh were showing our age ..LOL..🤶☃️🎅🤫🤫🤫
I am 78 and still love this song! And my kids and grandkids love it too!
Wow, when an older song hits you and you listen to it like it was your first time, good memories come out. Thank you 10cc. A magnificent performance
I,m trippin on how beautiful it sounds seeing that,s it,s live. 👍🌹
Have a beautiful day
@@patriciabrower532 ....Thx Patricia, create a new memory too.
Well said.
I never tire of this song. I'm 60 and remember falling in love with this when I was very young. Puts me in another place and time
Bennie, I'm 13 years older than you and I also love it. Gets me every time. Just a classic melody. I miss when they made good music
Ha me 2
@@kevinwortz8301 badas
Couldn't agree more, I'm 63 and this is one of my favourite teen growing up songs.
One of my favourite growing up songs, music like this stays with you all your life.
If you don't get at least a little tear in your eye listening to this then you're already dead inside
I'm aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive
I have several......in the 70's, there was so many talented musicians that you could walk into any club or hotel lounge and hear awesome bands! When all of these great songs came out, they learned them and played them while they were still getting air play. They were so good that they sounded just like the record. RIP Phil Miller (lead guitar), Richard (lead vocals, lead guitar) & DJ Johnson(drums), Gary Acklin(lead vocals, keyboard), and Don Garrett(bass).So many songs remind me of you. ❤️
Keep playing that funky music white boys❤❤❤❤❤. LR. Ar
No tears, I'll rest in piece.
I mean "peace", good god.
@bruce,
Better in PEACE than PIECES!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever and greatest performance I've ever seen , absolutely phenomenal ❤❤❤
It is masterful how they layered the harmonies over the tracks to create that amazing sound.
This song makes me want to travel back in time to when I was younger and things seemed better.
The nostalgia hits.
When I was in my 20's, this song was a hit and it always sent me to my happy place. It still does.
@@boomerguy9935glad to hear it 🙂 it's definitely up there on my list of songs to have to listen to
I agree
Love this song 🎵🎼🎵❤
Exactly
Yep. As soon as he started singing, my eyes filled with tears. Such a beautiful song, and it brings back so many precious memories...
Back at the Roller Rink Skating holding hands Big Disco Ball ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤as a child
Me, too. A lot of songs from our music brings my tears. It’s so beautiful, it is bittersweet, so much of our lives are in this song, and, for me, many more. 😢❤😊
If bees spilled it
❤ hermosísima canción llego a mi...sin buscarla...momentos inolvidables vienen a mi mente tengo 60 años hoy noviembre 11/2024😊❤
When a song sounds just like the original recording this is called talent.
I don't think the recording captured half the talent that stage show had, and sounded better than I've ever heard it before.
Woah. So impressed and happy to hear this in 2021!!!
I love this song
what sorcery is this... 40 years later and this man’s voice is still as smooth as a stick of butter
Not the original singer
No auto tune. Just talent. 🤩
True
For anyone who fell in love and maybe had their heart broken along the way, this is the song that understands the feeling.
😢yes and it hurts and do much melancholy 😢
Actually this was written as a love song to his wife who he missed terribly because he had to tour so much.
It's painful!
I am 72 and still rock and party with this riff no one does this anymore shame
Was 14 when this song came out. Dropped in rank from 1st to 38. What does life holď for me. Always had a fear deep down. Pulled up my socks and sleeve and decided to work. Today at 62, beautiful wife, loving son, 7 houses in two countries. It is all a gift from GOD.
Молодец! Мне уже 67, но помню эту песню.Тоже всё в порядке. Дети, загородный участок. Толко один ужас Путин развязал страшную войну, Будь он проклят!
Get over yourself.
Preciosa sorpresa la que nos trae Utube al televisor del salón. Disfrutando de temas inolvidables, cuando la Música nos lleva a tiempos pasados y nos hace sentir que seguimos vivos.
That, ladies and gentlemen is without doubt one of the best live performances you are likely to ever hear. It is Perfect!!
I agree another good live performance is heart with these dreams done in Seattle about ten years ago you'll know your watching the one im talking about annie has no shoes on they did alot of that song but the one in Seattle is breathtaking like this look it up peace from Brooklyn New York
I can remember write it in the car with my mother when I first heard this song, roughly about the year 1975. Every time I hear it it always brings by those memories when things were so simple. The Sun shined brighter, the food tasted better, and life was so much simpler. Hell, things are so now different than they were back in the seventies, you can no longer see Saturday morning cartoons.
Cartoons were deem violent, but letting criminals roam the streets is acceptable!
i suspect there is a fortune in bringing back what we recall was a great time
I listen to this song on Siruis XM Radio on channel 70 and Yacht Rock Channel and I truly remember it back in the 1970's.
Love this song !!!!! I also listen to it on UA-cam !!!! My best ERA 1970's - 1979 !!! I have a lot of Favorite Memories!!
Here I am. 70 years old. Crying. 2021...."
ooo, well, you're never too old to feel sad or emotions.. emotional.. Judy, wish we were together to drop our tears..hi, wish you all red roses and better weather to come.. and virus to gogogogooo
Beautiful
64 here in Tampa still digging the oldies and remembering life then. 5 kids and 9 grandchildren later. Some of them dig grandpa’s music too. ❤️
Its too bad there will never be music like this again that can melt your heart and take you back to a better (or worse) time.
Its beautiful an old flame told me she heard this song on the radio today and thought of me I was 18 at the time fond memories
i miss the 70s. For those who never had to fight a war, we are like the Veterans of the simple times. Keep these beautiful years alive.
Anybody born after the 90s missed out on the nostalgia.
U mean they missed a good life great times
Ah they will have their own. Our parent's thought we'd miss out if we didn't like the stuff from the 30's and 40's. Remember?
There's nothing like going out to play and just being gone. The world was so big and the summers so long. Ah for those days of friendship and freedom.
Nostalgia, by definition, is something which is reflected on. Therefore anybody who hears this at any age at any time in the future will experience nostalgia.
@@gavinmckillop8006 no shit sherlock
Listen to this song in February 2021 brings the freshness of the 70s to my soul.
AMEN BROTHER

Beautiful song,from a time when life was simple.
Miss them times...
Words of wisdom,, it was the best ❤❤❤
@salonsavy6476 just seen your music playlist,a lot of 80s music,great taste
Whoever the sound engineer is on this production, kudos! Perfect blend and balance of vocals and instruments.
I know right? The crisp of the acoustic guitar is so prominent and ripe....its amazing how you can hear all the instruments so clearly yet so individually.
Just magical. A song you could listen to a million years and still want to hear it over and over.
"What A Absolutely Timeless Masterpiece"!!!
Steve kruse this is definetly a reminiscing song ,I love it . It never gets old.
Hello, pulled this song up for you guys. hope You enjoy it!!

Edward Harley
Yes, Lost Count Also!!!

63 here! Great memories of this song, I never knew how they created those haunting sounds…
There is a great video on UA-cam that explains in detail how 10cc created this song. They were really ingenious on how they came up with creating and producing this fantastic tune.
