When this came out in the summer of 1975 people listened to their radios without headphones and I remember being at the beach and there were a hundred little radios all over the beach tuned to the same radio station, playing this song, so as you walked along you could hear it just slightly, all the while you walked, like one long continuous play on all those tiny radios. It was magical.

1975..my daughter was 2 years young and my marriage had broken down-he was an alcoholic and I was not able to deal with him because I just immigrated from Germany to Canada -fell in love with a person who was (so I thought-) in love with me-I certainly was. Upon entering his apartment this song played on the radio always. My English was not good enough to understand everything but I did understood “ I’m not in love…” ; month later he broke up with me, I was lost and devastated. My poor baby girl she went through a lot with me; definitely it was a very uncertain time for me…it was a year later I meet my 2nd husband.

I'm 62 years old now and remember hearing this when it first came out. I was 15 . It was a beautiful song but had no special meaning to me till four years later. I'd fallen deeply in love at 17 with my first and in a certain special way only true love. The love that only a virgin heart can have. Then at 19 we parted ways. I knew it would happen eventually, but it didn't make the pain in my heart and soul any lesser. One day some time shortly after I heard this song on the radio again and it was like hearing it for the first time.. I'd heard it so many times before, but I'd never really heard it before till then. I cried,...... Today a tear still comes to my face when I hear it, but my tears are of gratitude to the girl I loved so very deeply in my heart. Thank you Katry K. You'll always be my first, and I'll always see your face in my memory when I hear this song. 10cc, thank you for what you did, because it seemed for a long time that every time I heard this beautiful tune, my wound healed a little bit more, because I knew mine wasn't the first broken heart.

Did they somehow read my mind and extract all my feelings then create a song from it!? I cannot listen to this today without becoming overwhelmed by a debilitating wave of nostalgia bringing with it all those same feelings from nearly 50 years ago. That's powerful! The girl?

"I'm Not In Love" is a song by the British rock band 10cc, released in 1975. It was written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman and produced by Stewart. The song is about a man who tries to convince himself that he is not in love with someone, despite the fact that he is clearly still in love with her. He repeats the title phrase "I'm not in love" throughout the song as a sort of mantra, trying to convince himself of this fact. The lyrics touch on themes of denial, heartbreak, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The song is notable for its innovative use of technology, including multitrack recording and tape loops, which were used to create the song's distinctive sound. The band reportedly used a technique called "gizmo" to create the backing vocals, which involved recording individual syllables and then looping them together to create a choir-like effect. "I'm Not In Love" was a commercial success, reaching the top five in both the UK and US charts. It has since become a classic of 1970s pop and has been covered by a number of other artists. The song's innovative production and emotional lyrics have made it a staple of classic rock radio and a beloved song for many music fans.

[@LisaE-w6y]

I like what you wrote, your "he protests too much" theory, that he really is in love.. I remember beginning a relationship at the time it came out. Although a beautiful song, it's beauty seemed to elevate the message. I didn't like the song because of the repeated "I'm not in love." I felt insecure at the time. Here, is another interpretation, reputedly the songwriter's (from Wikipedia): Stewart came up with the idea for the song after his wife, to whom he had been married for eight years at that point, asked him why he did not say "I love you" more often to her. Stewart said, "I had this crazy idea in my mind that repeating those words would somehow degrade the meaning, so I told her, 'Well, if I say every day "I love you, darling, I love you, blah, blah, blah", it's not gonna mean anything eventually'. That statement led me to try to figure out another way of saying it, and the result was that I chose to say 'I'm not in love with you', while subtly giving all the reasons throughout the song why I could never let go of this relationship."[5]

Strangely, I now remember this song playing on all the radios and stereos throughout town, during that summer of 1975 as well. This tune made it big on the charts. Each day, the skies seemed to be the deepest blue, the sun blazing hot, and each night seemed to be simply plastered with stars. I always loved going out, cruising the drag with my buddies, or with that one special chick. Life made sense then, emotions ran high, and we all seemed to have dreams. I recall my last day living in Butte Montana--where I was born and raised--and listening to this song in the car with my best friend. Warm wind from all the windows rolled down, gently whipped through our hair. I also remember glancing out at the darkening-violet shadows over-taking the rugged ridges and canyons of the huge Continental Divide, and I reminded myself it would be some time before I would see this mountain range again, because I would be heading to college in Minneapolis Minnesota the next day. I somehow knew that evening, I would never come back to this place to live, but I knew my heart would never leave it. I just knew, because tears clouded my eyes and they fatefully seemed to find their way down innocently-expectant cheeks... It had been a sign.

Gradually the crowd moved him closer to where I was standing. I eventually said hello to him and not too long after he agreed to drive home with me to Brooklyn. It was a wonderful night. After making breakfast he said he had to get back to the city. He was visiting from a small town outside Pittsburgh.

So the three members - Kevin, Lol & Graham - spent three weeks in the studio crafting an artificial choir. They would hold one note for as long as they possibly could 16 times in a row (one for each track on their 16-track machine), then they’d bounce all of that down onto stereo tape. They repeated this process for 13 notes - a chromatic scale in the key of C. This ended up giving the band 624 voices to work with, in total.

Throws me back to childhood. I was the middle of 7 kids and shared a room with my older brothers Timmy and Eric and every night we went to sleep to the radio. Christmas 1974 we were excited to see that Santa had left a new stereo with turntable under the tree for us to put in our room, replacing the time-worn bedside AM radio we had been listening to. Maybe it was that switch to FM, or maybe that I was simply maturing at the ripe age of 8, but 1975 stands out in my mind for some reason and I remember every song from that year with particular acuity. This was one of those songs that got massive radio airplay and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Hang on to those good ole memories. Thank u for sharing.. I was only 5 when this song came out. I still remember vividly the song on radio playing as I got older. It never got old. My mom was married to my dad and was a housewife and on the phone with the man that delivered our mail. Well, the mailman.. they talked for hours while my dad worked hard. And then you hear this song playing in the background..

Wow, what a beautiful memory of getting the perfect gift from Santa.

Sansui - the best! I have a restored Sansui receiver in my living room with a turntable.

One of the best love songs ever written. The English musicians are the best at expressing emotions in songs.

Puzzling and ambiguous song. You can't really figure out exactly where he stands in relation to his claims.

I used to enjoy falling asleep to this song as a kid. As an adult, watching "Guardians of the Galaxy" at the theaters on opening day, when this song came on, I fell in love with it all over again. 🎅🏾

My dad used to take me to the Sydney Showground Speedway in the 70's, every Saturday night to watch the bikes. This song was a regular tune there in the day. Awesome songs bring back awesome memories.

[@AndreaGilroy-zx1kg]

The best song ever produced, anyone growing up in the 70's, it incomprehensible, correct?
