Daily Throwback | 10cc - I'm Not In Love [REACTION!]

[@michaelkearney2186]

Just the fact that people your age can appreciate this song gives me hope…

[@PILOTLETRAS]

this is very good, because I am 22 years old here in Brazil, I am "out of class" for many!

[@RVHelper]

Amen

[@CharleneRoozRE]

Right?!

[@bluewillow6182]

Me too. Both my boys, 27 and 39, grew up with this music because I played my music alot. We had the very best tunes. This song reminds me of lying out at the beach, wind blowing, waves crashing, surfers out, smell of coppertone tanning oil, and carefree teenage years.

[@andygonzalez6356]

This band, this song defined my heart in the late 70s and 80s. It still tugs at my heart today. 😎 I'm not in love. 😘

[@cletusmorraies7564]

The arrangement to this song is nothing short of phenomenal.

[@guslulou8428]

They freaking killed that live! Honestly, I was kind of bummed you were doing a live version. And not just a live version, but one that was done 30 something years after they recorded it originally. I expected a version that was a shadow of the original. I was not expecting this. They knocked it way out of the park. They can still sing! What a brilliantly polished live act. That is such a great display of talent with undoubtedly many thousands of hours of polishing their craft and art.

[@deborahbryan3639]

One of my favourite songs done very right in this version. Loved it!

[@JuandeFucaU]

yah, what you just said.

[@GeePeeSterRace]

I have been priviledged to see them twice live over the past five years and both times equally mesmorizing. Personal favorite will however always be the less known "I'm Mandy fly me"

[@miaschu8175]

I can not believe how GOOD this version sounds!

[@Del-Scent]

This song brings out an intense nostalgia in me. I can not explain it.

[@noheamike5036]

Listen to the full version of the original song. It was a landmark in recording technique, and a hauntingly beautiful song. So full of sound yet so much space. Simply amazing.

Big boys don't cry was recoded during the studio recording. Kathy Redfern was the secretary at the Strawberry Studios. She came out to tell Eric Stewart he had a phone call. They just asked her and she obliged.

[@IDFK303]

And if I remember correctly she also received a Gold Record for her efforts, as did the other band members.

[@RonnieT44]

Me too!!

[@deanroddey2881]

I remember it seriously creeping me out when it first came out. I would have been I guess just entering my teens. A lot of it was the tape loop harmonies, which give it a very strange atmosphere.

[@patriciamoore6492]

This takes me back to being a teenager. Loved this song at the time but because there was so much good music around in the 70's I didnt properly appreciate how good they truly were. Their harmonies and instrumentals are spot on. Thank you for taking me back to some very happy memories x

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

_I remember when this came out, and I played the crap out of this. The '60s and 70s' was the best time to grow up; life was so different and carefree!_

[@chuckenmcnuggets4464]

@William C not everyone was getting attacked or drafted but that did happen

[@larryfried7742]

You have good musical taste! 10cc was one of the best groups around in the 70's. Everything they did was cutting edge and such a tremendous group. They never seemed to get the recognition they deserved in the States tho. I'm glad you have discovered just how great they are. I share your viewpoints on all your reactions. I'm a subscriber now. Good for you. Keep it up!

Wow I never thought a live version of this song would be so good...I was totally floored by this. Ty so much for this!

Loved this live performance of an old favorite. Dude is in serious denial, and I always crack up about that picture of her that he won't give back! Great reaction!

[@steves3234]

I love watching her react. So much feeling and emotion. And so adorable

[@guillermojimenezcastelblan8456]

Great reaction!!. The most impressive fact, is that they performed this tune almost 99% as it was on the original recording back in 1975. Great song by great artists, no doubt about it. Finest 70's british talent, ever.

[@stuarthaynes1508]

Indeed. One of the Best songs ever!. I woke up this morning with this song on my mind. I am 68 and it sounds better that some of the trash out today. I have hears it 5 times. 2 by different reviewers. It Was greatly appreciated by both. Yeah this song still has a place

[@fredvanname4934]

[@HammerAl66]

Absolute classic song. All about how no matter how much a boy likes a girl he simply cannot bring himself to open up & admit it. 😄

[@deborahreynolds9792]

I didn't see it that way. well, us girls didn't . We saw it as," yeah, we are dateing and eveything, but I'm not in love and will go with another girl in a heartbeat".

[@HammerAl66]

@@deborahreynolds9792 Actually you couldn't be more wrong. The writer Eric Stewart wrote it after his wife asked hom why he hardly ever said he loved her. He thought saying it constantly would make it meaningless, so put a twist on it by saying i'm not in love , but really meaning our relationship means everything to me. I think maybe you might try listening to it again with this in mind now & see if your oppinion changes.

[@alanross2790]

@@HammerAl66 Indeed, it's a song full of reverse psychology.

Phenomenal job, as always!! A few minutes on your channel always puts a smile on my face, no matter how bad the day may be going!! Keep on doing what you are doing, and never stop!!

[@energlynblues1563]

I was there in Swansea, it was a fantastic night, first part of the show featured Graham's acoustic session. Seen them on numerous occasions, most memorable was Cardiff 1993, where Eric was on fantastic form and very humorous!!!

[@alexandrepontes4003]

Lovely song. This vocals arrangement and the eletric piano/strings are so amazing

[@trooperrussharrison]

One hot summer’s day in 1974, I was sitting with my back against a tree in the Winter Gardens in Bournemouth. I was 17 years old, and waiting to catch a train to leave home and join The Household Cavalry. Leaning on the same tree next to me was a hippy kind of guy with a guitar, strumming some great chords,,, lots of cool key changes. We got talking, he introduced himself as Graham Gouldman, and I told him that I loved the sound that he was getting out of a simple acoustic guitar. He told me that he was working up a melody for a lyric that his friend had penned. I listened some more, then caught my train. The following year, I heard the finished article, I’m Not in Love storm up the charts. How lucky was I to experience the song in its conception, and what a memory. The name 10cc, by the way, had no sexual connotations... it simply came to Jonathan King in a dream. Boring eh! Loving your reactions,,, and your frequent smiles of wonderment melt my old hippy heart. Love from the UK. X

[@deborahbryan3639]

That's a great story!

[@dctbass]

Man, what a great story! What a privilege to hear that. Not convinced about your explanation of the name, though! It's pretty well documented that it was based on the average ejaculate being 9cc in volume, and as Jonathan King thought of them as an average band, 10cc was arrived at. Jonathan King is not exactly a stranger to sexual innuendo!!

This song was a hit in the 70's, but they sound just as good in this video years later. On the original song, all the background music was their own voices meshed together. One of my favorite songs of all time!

You really need to hear the original version. There is a live version that was incredible. Eric Stewart was the heart and soul of 10cc. His vocals will make you melt and his subtle gestures show his stage presence. Peace to you lovely lady!

[@Isleofskye]

This incredibly diverse Band split into 2 pairs: 1/ Godley and Creme 2/ Stewart and Gouldman but I think only Graham Gouldman is here in the middle. Stewart spent three weeks recording Gouldman, Godley, and Creme singing "ahhh" 16 times for each note of the chromatic scale, creating a 'choir' of 48 voices for each note.Creme suggested they could keep the voices going for an infinite time by using tape loops. Stewart created 12 ft long loops by feeding them at one end through the tape heads of the stereo recorder, and at the other end through a capstan roller fixed to the top of a microphone stand.. YOU MUST HEAR THE STUDIO VERSION RR :)

[@siliconcowboy2010]

I love this song!!! So universal, and so much color!

What is amazing about this performance is how close it is to the studio recording. Except for a few things here and there you would swear they were lip-syncing to it. His voice still sounds great after all these years.

The studio version is so epic that I feared this being a live version, but was pleasantly surprised at this performance. I love how quickly you picked up on the denial of lyrics :).
