Believe it or not Ty, but those are not keyboards making all those breezy sounds. Those are actually the voices of the 4 guys in the band recorded on separate tracks and looped over and over on tape and then phased in and out on the final mix. Pretty amazing stuff!!! Purely analog, no digital. Took them 3 weeks to create it. Here's a link to the Making of the song with explanations by the members of how exactly they did it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDblmejodiEpdU

I graduated high school, June 1977...it was the day before the ceremonies and I was standing outside my school's art department on the grass, smoking a cigarette and looking up at the clouds while this song was drifting through the painting studio window. The whole world was stretching out before me into the future... Thanks for listening to it.

You mentioned your keyboard can do the background voices, but one of the things that makes this song so amazing and special is that all the background voices are all real voices, multi-tracked over and over.

10cc are a very underrated band, the song inspiration came from the wife of one of the band members (can't remember which one) who said "you don't tell me you love me", so this song is about loving someone but not being able to say it, Also the production of this song is amazing, each note of the backing track was individually recorded, and looped onto 64 track tape, each note was assigned to a fader on the mixing desk and the faders pushed up and down through the song, the faders were taped so they couldn't go fully down (no sound) so that's what gives that airy background noise, this can be done in minutes today with computers but was all done manually on this track

One of my faves from 1975. It sold over a million copies in the USA alone and was a groundbreaking song in production as there was nothing like it before. Enya & others built careers emulating this sound in the decades that followed.

[@armorer94]

I think Enya didn't so much emulate the sound of this so much as the production method- all her own vocals, instruments, etc. multitracked and reduced until the final recording was literally hundreds of tracks. If course Enya has modern synthesizers and digital sampling. 10CC only had analog recording but they managed to accomplish something that would not be common until true digital sampling was available.

[@herbiesnerd]

That background sound was every band member singing recorded track after track after track over and over all duplicated and bounced over and over then mixed together until they literally had thousands of tracks of their voices as a single background track they could insert and use anywhere in the song. That sound track can never be duplicated. Impossible, even for them. It’s a one off masterpiece.

[@Mr17051963]

I have a very special memory from this song. Happened in the 70’s, I was 16 there. The first time I made love, this music was playing at the sound system. It was an older woman and there’s no way for me to listen this song without remember this. I am 60 now and the voices of the background are stiil bringing good memories for me. Good music is really a Time Machine!

[@argelbargel7680]

[@davewhitlow2984]

So, the studio secretary of the studio comes in to say there is a phone call for one of the band members just as they were discussing what was "missing" and they asked her to say, "be quiet, big boys don't cry"..... true story. Great video out there on the making of the tune.

[@davejones5747]

This song always takes me back to the same time and place. I had just recently gotten my license, and I'd borrowed my mom's car and spent the better part of a hot, hazy summer Sunday crabbing in the Hudson River just North of West Point, but it was getting late so I pulled up all my traps and was getting ready to leave. It was sundown but there was so much haze that the sky didn't really get dark or anything, it just turned sort of pink. All the nightime insects started making their noises, katydids and crickets I guess, but also the weird ones that make that electricity sound. I started the car and this song came on the radio and I swear it blended in perfectly with the insect sounds as if their noise was a part of the song too. I'd heard the song before, but that totally changed the way I heard it and still hear it today. It was like the whole atmosphere was sort of tingling. Never experienced a song like that again.

I love that expression you had when they showed that girl's picture, then the realization of what it signifies when the lyrics expressed it. Cracked me up.

[@gyloir]

Such a timeless classic, love it. If you like that kind of music and atmosphere you should check out the band "Air" (just Air, not Air Supply), they are a band that focuses heavily on that style of music, songs like "Playground Love," "Cherry Blossom Girl," "How Does It Make You Feel," etc. Also the classic song "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells would probably be up your alley.

[@BRoxane1]

Crimson & Clover...great one!

[@petergreen2552]

The multi track vocal layered effect was entirely done with tape loops fed through the mixing desk. A production masterpiece from a time when talent shone through.

[@frankenzion0001]

There are a couple of videos on KZbin you should check out, that talks about how this song was made. This song was recorded in about 1975, if I remember correctly, so they didn't have any keyboard synthesizers back then, to create the background sound, so they manually had to create it, by having 3 of the band members sing a note, then run the recording through a 16-track (I believe) tape machine, and loop it numerous times. They then, used the studio's recording sound console more or less as they "synthesizer", by having each band member assigned specific mixing board sliders to adjust throughout the recording. They were pretty much ahead of their time, because it totally works. The band members were completely shocked with this song, because they admit that, whatever new idea they tried out, when recording this song, worked, and ended up making the song even better.

[@randycraig]

10cc’s “Don’t Hang Up” from their previous album was similarly heartbreaking and the extended track had somewhat of the storytelling style of a Broadway musical as did many of their songs (One Nuit in Paris from 10cc’s The Original Soundtrack and from Godley & Creme’s - “L” album, This Sporting Life)

[@SPOR1965]

10CC and ELO were ahead of their time for voice overs in the music,masterpiece then and now

*Two 10cc* (band's name) *songs to react* to: 1) *Dreadlock Holiday* - Believe Ty you would this song very much. It has a strong reggae feel to it. Also it's about a tourist getting robbed in Jamaica. 2) *The Anonymous Alcoholic* - it's a 3 part song. *Part one:* Starts off like you just woke up after a hard night of drinking. A major hangover. *Part two:* Song takes a disco beat turn. You didn't care. Cause it's party time. *Part Three:* Back to reality. Song is back to the hangover vibe. You got 2 choices. An AA meeting. Or to the bar. I just love this song. *Cause I've Been There. Hungover (In West Germany & Japan). and what did I do??*

Thank you for being the odd-man-out and letting the entire song play out before commenting on these songs. I think I was 7 or 8 and had just been given my first AM/FM radio for my birthday. I had talked my parents into letting me sleep in the unfinished basement instead of sharing a room with myb4 year old brother when I discovered "music" in all its glory. 3 years later, dad had been reassigned back to Germany and it was the next 8 to 10 years that really rocked my world as I was able to work summer jobs starting in 1982 and purchased so much tape and vinyl. We had one English speaking radio station and other than the Top40 with Casey Kasem every Sunday we had to listen to everything (country, R&B, oldies, 70's, rock & roll). I remember hearing this particular song sometime in the late 70's when were still at Lowery AFB in Denver, CO. It is still in my main playlist of about 250 songs I have on it...

I watched a small doc on how they created all those voices, which is really only 3 voices using multi tracking that had never been done that way before...It comes out to being something like 150/160 voices using only the 3, I believe.

Props to you for staying with the song to the very end. This song was released in 1975, but was SEVERAL years ahead of its time. In some ways, this song represents a dividing line in music history. To my knowledge, this was the first song to use multi-layered vocal saturation to create an almost white noise harmony. They somehow made four different voices sound like a hundred. Oh, and did I mention, 19 by-god 75. Truly one of the most unique, transcendent songs you'll ever hear.

The top 40 was very mellow during the mid-seventies and most pop songs around 1975 sounded very much like this-an easy listening soft rock sound that couldn't get any softer. There were more top 40 songs that sounded like this than other genres playing. Disco was brand new in 1975 but was not as popular as the easy listening music that year. There were tons of them.

[@williamobrien2759]

I was 10 years old when this song came out...life is short and time flies. I always appreciate younger generations taking an interest in history, of any kind. Many who were born in to the age of the internet (as we know it today) and especially those young enough to not remember the world before smart phones and social media don't really appreciate how recent and extraordinary the digital age is. Also, that scientists, physicists, engineers, visionaries and artists around the world have worked 'for generations' going back several hundred years to develope everything we take for granted today. Each generation passes the baton of knowledge and achievements to the next. In the grand scheme of things, 1975 was not that long ago. Producing music like this took 'a lot' of ingenuity then.

A very unusual song. The composition is unconventional enough but the backing track that sounds like a rushing wind is all multi-tracked voices.

The keyboard was just a standard Fender Rhodes. The rest of the background is tape loops of the entire band all singing all the notes used by all the chords in the song (plus looped pitched an octave higher and an octave lower), and the engineers basically just played the mixing board as though it were a keyboard, potting up the volumes of the appropriate notes as necessary. Amazing stuff.

I think he dost protest too much - either he feels nothing or he is uncomfortable with admitting that he feels anything. The result could be the same, though. Even if he does have her picture on his wall with same lame a-- bulls--- excuse for it being there. Big boys don't cry=big boys not fully in touch with their feelings because they have been encouraged all their lives to suppress them. The best 10CC song is Things We Do For Love - always reminds me of spring … or any time the landscape is like a giant slurpee.

Many a slow dance at the end of the evening had to this great song in the 70's...happy memories.. :)

I always loved this song! The sadness of this internal dueling dialogue the singer is having with himself. So conflicted! So much denial.

Each track had its own sung vocal note of the chords in the song. The faders (volume controls) on the sound board were played like an instrument as the controls were made louder and softer to create the different chords. Real pioneers. Band members, Godley & Creme, went on to create groundbreaking music videos.
