Did I tell you it was pouring rain? Yada yada yada 36 years latter we’re still married, 2 grown kids and a new grandson. Thanks 10CC, you did great lads.

I was in the Navy in 1975 and my high school sweetheart whom I was going to marry sent me a dear John letter. I was crushed and thoroughly heartbroken. I never wanted to have a long term relationship again. I was through with heartbreak. And I absolutely loved this song at the time. Well, my sister hooked me up with a friend of hers back home. I began writing and calling her on the phone, however, I kept telling myself that I would have a relationship with this girl but I would keep it at arm’s length. I didn’t want to get serious. Time passes as I write and call her. This girl really had a sincere liking for me even though we never met in person. I didn’t realize it at the time but I started loving her even before I met her. I kept listening to this song and telling myself that I’m not in love but I could see that the song was was about me. I went back home on leave and was only there with her for about a week before I asked her to marry me. We just celebrated our 47th anniversary. And this song had a HUGE part in that. Great video! It’s put a whole new perspective on the song.

So many 70’s hits had this mystical/ethereal vibe that you just don’t get in music anymore. Songs like I’m not in Love, Miracles, Dream Weaver, The Year of the Cat, Rhiannon, Dreams, Strawberry Letter 23, etc… It was a unique and special time for music.

The thing I loved about this song, besides the different sound, was that it was obvious that the singer absolutely is in love the first time you hear it. The "be quiet, big boys don't cry" part fit into that. Crying, or telling someone you love them, falls into the same category.

This song always reminds me of a conversation a group of friends & I with an upper classman. One guy asked the guy who's house we were at why he still had a picture of his ex-girlfriend on his wall & he said it was hiding a nail hole on his wall. Well he went to the bathroom & the same guy got up & looked behind the photo & informed us there was no hole behind it. Later this song came out & several of us were listening to it on the radio & we all remembered that conversation & the no hole on the wall!

Billy Joel liked this song so much that, he used similar sound effects in “just the way you are”.

I remember laying on my bed listening to this song through my Koss headphones staring at a Ghost Ship blacklight poster and thinking about a girl I had a huge crush on. Oh to be 13 again.

​@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 Wow, nice to hear from you again. I happen to agree with you. 10cc is a master talent with three world class songwriters, and seriously talented musicians.

"I'm Not In Love" is a dreamy, haunting song. I love listening to the story behind the song. All those voices, wow!

One of the greatest pop songs ever written no joke👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

One factor you didn't mention -- Eric Stewart was badly injured in a horrific car accident in 1979, and by the time he recovered, the opportunity to do new tours as 10cc had passed. But among other work, Eric recorded several excellent songs later on with the Alan Parsons band in the 1990s.

10CC… I used to like roller skating to 10CC at the roll arena in mid 70s. My aunt and uncle had a ranch and several horses and cattle. One of their oldest horses was my favorite… I was a small third-grade boy and that old mare was kind and gentle with me when I’d saddle her up and ride. Then one week my aunt had to tell me that horse had to be put down. The mare broke its ankle in a groundhog hole. I went to say goodbye when the vet arrived. I noticed the large syringe that he was going to use to put her asleep… it was a 10 CC and that notation on the syringe body “10 CC” confused me, but after my question was answered, I could never listen to the band 10CC without sadness for that old mare I used to love so much.

This song is an absolute ethereal, dreamy masterpiece. It’s always been a favorite of mine.

First heard "I'm Not in Love" in 5th grade ('75). Not having yet experienced this type of love myself, it still moved me. The instrumental composition is one of the most ethereal I'd heard. And stands as a favorite to this day!

Memories - maybe at 15 years old, awkwardly dancing a slow with a friend, holding her close, feeling her warmth and her hands on my shoulders, bending my head down, my nose close to her collar to breathe in her scent. The song was already a few years old, my sister had the single and I knew it by heart - had it in my heart. Thank you Clare, that was quite a moment. Why did it have to end? Final fade out, arms disengaged, bodies separated and awkward, slightly embarrassed thank you. Adolescence is so clumsy. Next up, Three Times a Lady by Lionel Richie. Catherine, would you care to dance with me?

I've been to many high school dances and sad to say I've been that Clare and I've been that Catherine. Many a missed opportunity.

The song was, is, and will remain an incredible breakout and creative song. I was swept up by the music when I first heard it. I somehow knew he was being facetious, but I was going through a tough (puppy love) break-up and chose to feel the song as it was lyrically written. The fact that people this young could write such a creative piece, let alone pull off the impossible with a tiny 3-track, I think he said, says volumes! There is NO DOUBT, there was magic in the air in the seventies musically. So many incredible and inspired young people! I'm proud to have shared the times and music with them... Oh and thank you, Prof of Rock, for bringing this great memory back!

This is probably the one pop song where I can never tire of hearing and the one that can be seen as art long after any of us are gone.

I believe "Rubber Bullets was banned for a while on some radio stations who thought it was a political statement about Northern Ireland, but it was just a song - there might be a story for the Professor here!

Undoubtedly the most interesting commentary about the making of a song I’ve ever listened to. It really brought out the genius behind a song that most people never realise is there.

I loved this song back in the day. So nice to kick back to. Thanks for the whole history on it,Adam!

10cc's I'm Not In Love is probably one of the most nostalgic song's ever recorded and performed by a band although another good one would be Miracles by Jefferson Starship which came out the same year.

One of the greatest songs of all time... period.

First time I ever heard this song, it was on an AM station in the 80’s. I didn’t catch the name of the song, or group. I had no clue who sang it, but its haunting lyrics were embedded in my brain for years. I didn’t hear it again until maybe 1999/2000 when it was playing in a McDonald’s. Desperate to know what the name of the song and artist was, I went up to a complete stranger (probably in his early 40’s) and asked him, “Excuse me, do you have any idea what the name of this song is?” Without hesitation, he said, “It’s called I’m Not in Love, by 10CC” Can’t tell you how relieved I was finally knowing what the song was that drove me crazy, for years, not knowing the name of it. Every time I hear it now, I think of that complete stranger in McDonald’s that was kind enough to tell me the information I so desperately needed

Once again, Professor, you've changed my mind about a song 😊. I hated I'm Not In Love for most of my life up until a few years ago. I had completely misunderstood the intent of the lyrics and I took them literally. I assumed it was a real narcissistic jerk who was letting someone down harshly. I seriously dismissed it as a kid and that idea was cemented in my brain. I finally re-listened to it when Guardians of the Galaxy came out and realized I was probably coming to the wrong conclusion about the lyrics 😏. I'm glad to see that I'd finally gotten it right. I also had no idea about the music. Your presentation here now means I'm about to pop in the headphones and take a deep dive on this song 🎶 😊.

When this song first came out, I was on the road with my band The Gringos. We were performing at the Playboy Club in Los Angeles. WE were blown away at the effects that were created. Years later we learned of the technique that was involved to get those vocals recorded. To this day it brings back very fond memories of performing in front of my home town crowd.

I love putting on a pair of Nuraphone headphones, laying down in total darkness and listening to this song. The depth of the sound stage and stereo separation is incredible. The bass guitar section almost feels like you could reach out and feel it. The fade out sparkles and fades. I first heard this song when I was five years old when it was released and I have loved it ever since.

Adam, that was an exceptionally done segment! Amazing song and you made it even better. Thank you.

as someone from the uk born in 1960, this song is a major part of the soundtrack of my life!!!!

I’m so surprised this was not a number one hit. It seemed like it was everywhere, as if it had a life of its own. I loved it back then, and I still do. It’s a really good song by a really good group and had such a curious but beautiful and enthralling background vocals. It was years before I actually learned how those vocals were created. Anyhow, “I’m Not in Love” is on my list as one of the top 25 songs of my life!

Such creative production to get the exact sound. Excellent back story Adam!

Absolutely awesome Professor!! One thing that might not have been covered: the drum beat is a steady heartbeat.

Very innovative and "Beatles-esk" in its production. Nearly 50 years old and still an intriguing tune.

The most sublime piece of music of the modern times. Exquisite. Chef's kiss!

I think I was 7 when this song came out. Though not exactly what I would listen to a few years later, but I instantly liked it back then. I actually liked the female voice whispering. "Amospheric" is a great way to describe it. "Ethereal" is the vibe I would give it. You won't hear this today. Artists rarely experiment with sound and technique. It's too bad. I think it is the reason 70s music was si good!

Slight error, Adam. Godley & Creme split from 10cc in 1976, and were not on the Album Deceptive Bends from which The Things We Do For Love (and another UK hit, Good Morning Judge) was taken. Dreadlock Holiday was from the album Bloody Tourists, again with only Stewart/Gouldman from the original lineup.

I’m sure it has put a lot of people to sleep.

I was 10 years old (i'll be 60 later this year) it was the end of the summer and i was visiting with my mom in florida and had to go back home to my father who lived in new jersey. i did not want to leave (since i was born in florida and had lived there for the first seven years of my life with my mom). I remember waking up and hearing this song. It captured the mood i was in with it's eerie sound. I was laying in bed feeling horrible. Then the unforgettable part of "be quiet, big boys don't cry" came on and i just burst out crying but at the same time trying to be a big boy and not cry. That song has stuck with me ever since. Great vid Professor of Rock, thanks for posting 😉

My favorite part of this song is the ending, when the volume levels of all the looped vocal tracks are slowly raised to the max, completely enveloping your senses with ethereal voices. Sadly, most radio stations fade the song out before it gets to this point. The first time I heard the full-length album version, that closing section just blew me away and left me speechless.

Love the song and 10cc. A must to play in my DJ Disco days.

This song is a masterpiece. There is a video on the youtube, where they, the musicians of the band 10 CC, show all the process they had to endure to create this great song. I was watching an interview with musician and producer Trevor Horn, and he said that every time they are in a studio recording, they encounter problems most of the time, which makes the musicians quit the song, give up, due to difficulties in recording their song. Then Trevor calls the people, then he plays I'm Not In Love, and he explains to the musicians how that song was created. They realize that their problem is nothing, if 10 CC created that song, they immediately consider their need to go back into the studio, with the understanding that they could fix their problems and finish recording their song. 10 CC made the impossible, and created this song which I love very much and I never get tired of hearing.

They had just bought a recording studio and were trying to see how many rhythm tracks they could squeeze onto their mutti track. The result was Neanderthal Man. Never ment for outside ears but their manager heard it and flipped out.

Thanks for doing this song... its always been one of my favs...

a brilliant song. As others have said, it was obvious that the singer was deeply in love. The vocal layers are nothing short of genius.

❤🎉❤🎉 Every time I heard this song, I thought they said "Big Boys Don't Cwai". C-W-Y. I was deaf even back then. 😅😅 Thanks for this deep dive, Professor. Awesome stuff.

Hey, Professor. This is a great one! Fascinating to learn how they went about layering all those vocal tracks in. 👍👍

Absolutely one of the best love songs ever produced. Thank you for making this video.

"I'm Not in Love" was one of my favorite songs way back when. The story of how it came into being is absolutely fascinating! 10cc was definitely ahead of their time! They were able to push the proverbial envelope without a boatload of technology! That makes this song even more fantastic!

I'm thinking Enya took a cue from 10CC and went on to create her career.

Adam, this is the episode that got me to subscribe to your channel. This song is unique to say the least. When I was in the 7th grade, 3 years after the song came out, it was still the song that you wanted playing if you were with a girl at a party or a dance. This song takes me back to that time period. I find it haunting - I actually have trouble listening to it today because it hits my core, reminding me of a time period that I’ll never see again. I don’t experience this with any other song. Great song. Great episode. Keep up the good work my friend.

It brings me back to when I was 5 years old when this came out. I remember stuff when I was 2, so yeah, at 5 I was very much aware. I listened to the radio all the time when riding in the car with my mom, dad, aunt, grandpa and they always had KHJ or some other AM radio pop station or even FM in L.A. county where I was raised. Vivid memories and this song will bring me back to an innocent time, not only for me personally, but for a nation that was still actually living in Happy Days.

I hated this song growing up because I didn't get it. When it showed up in Guardians of the Galaxy, I heard it differently. 624 voices is amazing.

Fantastic episode Professor. A song with many happy memories and finally I know how it was done. Incredible for 1975, even today it would be a heck of an achievement.

Thanks for doing this video. Love watching your show, and I'm a big 10cc fan. I've been waiting a while for another episode on them.

Thank you very much for the great episode..
