Such a haunting song. This record is famous bc the track is 3 of the guys singing "ahhh" for every note and then, because there was no Pro Tools etc. to keep the ahhs going, they looped each one using 10 foot long pieces of recording tape (which is insane). First time that was ever done.

The Genesis of this song was the lead singer had a wife who kept telling him we've been married 9 years and you never say I love you. So, he said you know I love you. Then he went about creating a song where a guy said over and over "I'm not in Love" but he was indeed in love, he though that would show her words mean nothing. Well, they have now been married over 55 years LOL.

@miaschu8175 3 месяца назад

The "big boys don't cry" refrain points to everything we know now about the harm done to boys and the men they become by teaching them to hide their emotions. This is saying something about emotional intelligence well before its time. Fabulous song!

The woman saying “big boys don’t cry” was the studio receptionist! The band needed a female voice for the song and didn’t know who to get so they persuaded her to do it.

@saintsefo4763 2 месяца назад

IIRC, it was originally done by Lol Creme, but they decided it didn't sound right. Cue their receptionist popping her head round the door during a session and whispering they had a call. So Kathy Redfern got to do the line instead.

Great reaction to I'm Not In Love. 10cc, if you really want to know what that name means, they were an Art Rock band who had hits in both the UK and the US. And two of the members, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, went on to not only did their own thing musically but also became music video directors around the early MTV period with The Police's Every Breath You Take, Herbie Hancock's Rockit, Duran Duran's Girls On Film and their own video for Cry.

I never thought of this as they broke up. I think she's crushing on him and he doesn't want to admit (to her or himself) that he loves her. The main reason is the line "don't tell your friends about the two of us". Anyway, let's face it, he is toast. He is going to have to either admit he loves her and live happily ever after or regret not doing so for the rest of his life.

@rantoppp 3 месяца назад

@@rantoppp Exactly. I also think that the haunting "Big boys don't cry" part is him recalling some past love that broke his heart (or died maybe?) and is, perhaps, the reason he is trying to deny falling in love again. Putting up a wall.

@michaelakkerman407 3 месяца назад

It's the "time & effort " bands put into the songs in the past that elevates them from most modern music of today. Bands "crafted" the song and lyrics to make people think and enjoy at the same time. The back vocals took forever for this song because they didn't have the technology so they overdubbed hundreds of vocals over and over and had to create techniques that didn't exist at the time. Now, it's pop out a song in a day and on to the next. How can you inject soul and staying power into something that's made only to be a hit for a week? Songs from the past will remain forever because of that reason. These artists put thier hearts and souls into each song, while today it's made to explode like a firework.

@Krzyszczynski 3 месяца назад

They had the advantage of owning their own recording studio (Strawberry, in Manchester - now sadly defunct), which meant they could take any amount of time to get things right, and buy or hire the necessary equipment without being beholden to studio bosses.

There's no yacht rock genre. This was coined as soft rock/easy listening. Production of this specific tune was very unique. That long wavering undertone you hear throughout the song that sounds like an airy synth is actually their voices. I'm a musician of over 50 years.

As a kid I stumbled across this song listening to my crystal radio late at night. Just so blown away by the sonic soundscape this song generated. I had never heard anything like it. Now, decades later I still get chills. Beyond the main melody vocal it's just so damn haunting, unsettling and yet captivating. I love a lot of different artists, genres, times, etc, but this is one of a handful of songs that grabs all of my attention every time I listen to it. I actually have avoided downloading it from iTunes because I don't want to lose that "something" by listening to it too many times. I have done that with some other songs, to my detriment, but not this one.

@cliffordwaterton3543 3 месяца назад

This was cutting edge production for the time and I had forgotten what a great song this is - thanks for the memory. Foreigner did a couple of songs in the 80s which might fit into this category - 'Waiting for a Girl Like You' and 'I Want to Know What Love Is'. Christopher Cross did another great song known as 'Arthur's Theme' (Arthur is a great comedy movie) or 'The Best That You Can Do'.

@c.g.vonhagenstein7576 3 месяца назад

Check out a song called "Green-Eyed Lady" by a band called Sugarloaf. I feel like it qualifies for the Yacht Rock category but maybe not the soft rock category (you be the judge). It has an excellent catchy bass line, which I always dig. It was something of a hit in its day but I rarely hear it anymore. Cheers!

Love this one with the syrupy synths. I have such a clear memory of listening to this on the radio as a kid and I was familiar with it but I never LISTENED to it fully, and I did that day, and when that whispery voice comes in with "big boys don't cry" I freakin' levitated in pure terror because I thought someone else was in the room. I ran downstairs and came across my mom, who was dusting the house. I offered to help and ended up doing chores because I felt too foolish to say that I got jump-scared by a soft pop song :)

@astroteech 2 месяца назад

I love your analysis of music from this era. I musically grew up in CA during the era of the 60' and the Beach Boys and the death of Golden Oldie rock (i.e. Elvis and do-wop). Hard rock evolved in the late 60's and early 70's (Woodstock and before) and then died. Soft Rock filled some of the gap but also elevated Funk to its deserved heights until cheezy Disco usurped it (death to disco!). I love Funk and everything that came after (punk, rap, disco, hip-hop, alternative, grunge, etc. 10cc stands alone during this time in terms of brilliance and sincerity.

Now, you have to watch (not react to) The making of 10cc I'm Not In Love. Discover how that 624 voice "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" backing track was made. At the end, the song is played, so it's headphones on, lights out and just let the harmonics wash over you. Magic. This song takes me back to St Ives in Cornwall back in 1983 when I saw 10cc perform this live in a large field, as the sun was setting.

I always understood the lyrics as describing the first time a young man was in love, in over his head, trying to understand (but denying) what is going on. He is young, at the age when boys are not ready to admit to their friends that they have a girlfriend. The voice saying "big boys don't cry" is not is mother, it is his girlfriend reacting to his crying after some emotional event, maybe his realization of his love, maybe the first time they had sex. Her voice is not one of a ex-girlfriend, it is the whispered voice of someone physically close to him that loves him (his girlfriend) helping him, really both of them, thru the strong emotions they are going thru.
