Yes, he is in Love, no matter how many times he tries to tell himself he's not. Really nice old song. Good memories of that time.

The making of this was astonishing for the time. The harmonised vocals were made by recording each voice 16 times for each note of the scale. Then recorded that on a loop so you get the voices acting as an instrument. The making of it is here. Remember this was before digital recording. It was on tape. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaOsx5amnNa3n9Y.html

This song is art. An absolute masterpiece.

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded 😀

The whispered " Big boys don't cry " part was actually done by the band's secretary Kathy Redfern and the phrase you were looking for to describe the crescendo effect is " Wall of Sound " - similar to the Phil Spector concept

Why does a band need a secretary? Did they really have that many people trying to contact them?

I believe it was their female assistant who said big boys don't cry. When I was a kid I thought this was a sad romantic song. As an adult I finally understood the words of a jerk in denial. Still very haunting harmonies.

Because of the harmonies and overall musicality of the song, it’s a great one to enjoy using headphones! He’s really trying to convince himself he’s not in love! A definite vibe!

The timeless denial hymn!

He’s DEFINITELY IN love- straight denial, period- lol Always loved this one and still do.💖💙👍

I'm so glad you guys caught that , because so many other people that I watch react to this song are confused by the lyrics ? They think he's being mean and cocky when basically he's simply in denial !

I was 18 when this was released and I thought it was the best song I had ever heard. In July 2024 I am now 67 and I javen't changed my mind. The greatest song ever written. Just Magnificent 🇬🇧

Believe it or not, they made all those sounds analog! The way they made those "harmonies" that sounded like they were being played through a synth was by individually recording their voices on tape dozens of times at different pitches and then playing them back. If you guys want another smooth 70's song check out How Long by Ace.

Great song suggestion!

Back when bands actually sang their own harmonies tunes this is the sorta stuff I grew up w my dad was a singer my youngest now deceased brother an original punk rocker from b4 the commercial days but this so reminds me of being 6yrs old every surf trip with mum & the kids down the street it was always playing among many of other ❤

A lot of memories for this well done song from 1975. A number 1 hit in many countries including the UK and Ireland and a top 10 hit in the United States. The harmonies were outstanding and the words had a lot of meaning, A plus for me.

Good to see Chris, I was getting very worried..lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻

10CC "Dreadlock Holiday"...Classic...Truth!!

Pure Quality, Can't Go Wrong With 10cc Lots Of Quality Songs. Welcome Back Chrys.

So glad to see you both! Happy Easter may God bless you both! This song came out when I was in High school. Great memories!!

There are 256 vocal lines on this song done manually by 4 people. Graham Gouldman from the band said that the vocals alone took 3 weeks to record. It also took all 4 of them at the mixing desk at the same time to mix it correctly. Whispered female saying " big boys don't cry" was done by the studio's receptionist

I was 15 when this came out. Awesome song. U should try "KEEP TALKING" live. The back up singers will melt ur heart. Great reaction. ♥️💯😎

Glad to see your girl back.

Love to see someone checking out 10cc. Anything from the Deceptive Bends album is great. Good Morning Judge, The Things We Do for Love, Modern Man Blues and Feel the Benefit parts 1, 2 and 3. Can't go wrong with those.

Great way to phrase it...deceptive bands. Don't forget "Rubber Bullets." Prison riot song with a peppy Beach Boy style, upbeat sound and tempo..

I was 10 when this song came out. Didn't know what the hell it meant. But I loved it. To this day, it brings back memories.🔥🤘

You two have really missed out by hearing this single edit version. The album version is twice as long and twice as good! By the way, the technology did not exist to produce this song in 1975, so they invented it! Please go back and hear the original album version. You will both be glad you did!

Thanks, kids! I love this song, the incredible vocals and instrumentation - I actually heard/saw a live version that was fantastic... and also, if you like 10cc -- "the things we do for love" is quite fun!

I absolutely LOVE that you are doing some of the old stuff... I grew up in the 70's and 80's... memories!!!

Thankyou for playing !! - such a classic track !!! XX

Got an absolute tune for you guys from the 80’s. It was the first song by a White Female from the UK to top the R&B chart in the states. It was also sampled by P Diddy with Biggie Smalls in 2010. Lisa Stansfield “All Around the World” It’s a Tune !!! Btw Great Work Guys !!!

Next banger from 10cc is "The things we do for love" and that is MUST.

Nothing better for a song than a man in denial that he's in love. I was 13 when this song came out, still love it today. You guys are great, keep up the good work on your videos.

Sounds heavenly

Thank God I grew up to this song and Era

The woman whispering "Big Boys Don't Cry" was an employee of the studio 10cc were recording in.

Around this time, there was a lot of new technology coming out, and a lot of artists were experimenting to see what worked and what didn't.

Killer song man. Folks, please help me introduce them to Dr. Hook, it's so good. They'll love it. My choices are Queen of the Silver Dollar and Carry me Carrie.

Sylvia's Mother.

Written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, Stewart came up with the idea for the song after his wife of eight years asked him why he didn't say "I love you" more often

When you listen to this about 46 years it difficult great great when I first heard the song on beach music

Yes, I love harmony.❤️. No one does it like Bee gees,. No 20 takes no do overs. 3. Gorgeous men,. Especially mo 💔💔💔. Around 1. Mike doing beautiful harmony. This is a beautiful song 🎶🎶🎶🎶

This song is Yacht Rock perfection...... it literally takes you to another realm; I've always thought this song is what outer space would "feel' like. I love the way you described the feeling of the middle of the song like a "wave"!

I really enjoyed watching both of your reactions, especially at 3:14 when the song's bridge comes on and both of you look at the camera. Regarding the lyrics "Be quiet, big boys don't cry..." --- Yes, it could be his own inner voice (as shown in the music video); and within the context of the song, it probably is a memory of his mother telling him those exact words when he was a little boy and he got really emotional over something. Some guys (especially back in the 1970s when this song came out) are raised to hold back their emotions because that "coolness" under pressure was considered how "real men" should act. You know, like James Dean, Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood, Yul Brenner, and so forth. The list goes on and on. Some people interpret this is a breakup song; but I look at this song as a young guy who was raised to be "cool" under pressure, and then he meets a girl who totally overwhelms his emotions with Love. Suddenly, he doesn't know how to deal with those strong emotions, how he should act towards her, and how much of his inner self he should reveal to her. My two cents.

When they were making this song, they needed time to fill that quite time, so they used their secretary to come in and whisper the words, " Be peace & quite, be peace & quite...and it worked...pretty cool huh?

Another hit for them was The things we do for love

such a great song, the making of this song is worth watching the documentary on it

This was the go to song for every U.K. teenager in love in 1975!

If you watch Marvel movies this was in Guardians of the Galaxy opening scene (in the song he is in love )

I love this song!!!!!!!!

You should watch 10cc video for the song "Cry' by Godley and Creme (who were main guys in 10cc). It's an amazing video

Beautiful song 💕 Thank you

Love this song it's a masterpiece

10CC I'm Mandy Fly Me is a really good song, also Dreadlock Holiday, Things we do for love, Good morning judge .

From my home town, Stockport, recorded at strawberry studios

So in love!

I love y’all’s reminds me of Vandavion and Mike from Key and Peele. How she be quiet and chill but you know she’s hella into it. Y’all are such a vibe.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, "Methinks he protests too much."

I have huge respect for the way you two give all genres of music a reaction - well done! Furthermore could you please reaction to Anderson Paak Lockdown or J Cole Javari - Thank you.

Timbuk 3 "Life Is Hard" (Official Music Video)

Good job! You picked up on the whole point of the song. He is in love - whipped, in fact!

One of the best 8-tracks I ever owned. "The Original Soundtrack" 10cc

Loved the perplexed look on Crys' face on the Big Boys Don't Cry part. They actually recruited an office worker at the recording studio to come in to do that.

Two of it's members Kevin Godley and Lol Creme were video pioneers! In their solo years they had a hit with Cry

This song scared me when I was younger it was eerie

It’s a song about a guy who is telling a girl that though he enjoyed the time he had with her, it doesn’t mean there’s marriage on the horizon. In other words, he is trying to tell her “don’t fall in love with me because it was only about having fun” (In the 1970’s, fun was sex).

My first love pretty much sang it to me😢😢😢😢

Hi Chrizz & Recklezz 👍And even more strange is that this song was always playing last on dance places and on discoplaces in the 70-80s my brain still going bananas over that ha ha ha ha Happy Easter to the Chriss and Recklezz family 🐰🐰🐰 thx for a good reaction 👍🇸🇪👍

For You and I, and The Things We Do For Love are good songs by them too.

U 2 gotta watch the documentary on the making of this song. Weeks of work to get this.

Great Reaction Life With Recklezz! That part "Big Boy's Don't Cry" was actually their secretary they need a females voice so they asked her if she would do it she said yes and this became their biggest hit!

Should check out their song Dreadlock Holiday.

The pride of Manchester.

That's what's called harmonizing under statement of the century.

Good morning 🌞 Happy Easter! I hope baby girl finds lots of Easter eggs and have a blessed day 🌻✌️

10 cc made some of the most creative stuff I ever heard...funk, reggae, pop, rock, the sound from them was so versatile--every record sounded diff. Suggest the funky-rock tune off the "Deceptive Bends" LP, "Good Morning Judge" for the next 10cc tune ya check out.

A beautiful romantic classic forever. Regards from Chile :-)

This song is mostly their voices

Watch "The making "of this song...very interesting , this is actually a shortened version

One of my top 10

Guardians of the Galaxy Rock! =) Love this song.

Thanks guys. Haven't heard 10cc in a while. You should look up the origin of their name!!! Hilarious! Please react to Gino Vanelli "I Just Wanna Stop"

you reacted to the short version and missed the BEST part. Many reactors make the same mistake. The ending is EPIC

For completely differernt 10cc sound try reacting to their song 'Dreadlock Holiday'.

10CC I’m not in love reaction is a song to his Wife.... Big boys don't Cry, Big boys don't Cry, Big boys don't Cry, Big boys don't Cry, Understand it's a Broken ass heart and not wanting to show his heart holding it out for all to see... it's was broken by her too many times before... NOT A DENIAL OF LOVE..

True by "Spandau ballet"

Yah your good lady is back great

10cc have a three-part song called 'Feel The Benefit' which, while it doesn't have all the layered vocal this one does, has some fantastic singing and awesome guitar. You'll have to put aside eleven minutes or so but I promise it'll be worth it.

Try 'Wall street shuffle' by 10cc.

❤

🔥

P.O.D. "Youth Of The Nation" (Official Music Video)

great song!

Ready for the flip side, "The Things We Do For Love" by 10cc next if you please.

Be quiet, big boys dont cry........☺ This is a great song 😀

The original was longer than the one you heard and much better.

Check out "I'm Mandy fly me"

Love this song, Try Night Ranger’s Googbye

This will ALWAYS remind me of "Virgin Suicides"

I’m Mandy Fly Me is another good one from 10cc

This is the Lp cut as the single version was an edited one.

Men were taught not to show emotion or cry growing up. So in the song says "big boys don't cry" made guys unable to show they care.

The title should have been "I'm in love but don't want to admit it."
