We did a nice restaurant and then went for a moonlight drive along the ocean, this song came on the radio, we never had heard such a thing, it was hypnotic. Anyway, the mood was set, everything went perfect that night, and I got lucky. Funny how a single song can bring back a flood of pleasant memories.

The layered voices are still haunting. It's almost like hundreds of souls coming together to express the angst the singer is saying about his deep love for a woman, but maybe is too afraid to let her know, or maybe it's after they've broken up, not sure about that. I've always thought they had broken up and felt it too painful to admit aloud that he still loved her deeply. Maybe it's because I was went through that once, and is why I'm alone to this day, but I digress.

Words cannot describe what this record meant to me when it came out. I was a young teen working my first part time job. I'd get home at 1a and be so wired from work, I'd lay out in the living room with the headphones on, listening to one of the first FM stations that played popular music. This would come on - the yearning, the denial, the ethereal atmosphere of it really connected with this young teen. Then in the middle, it softens and that comforting yet haunting voice advises, almost warns me - "Be quiet, big boys don't cry." Thanks guys for giving this to us.

@10:25 After almost 50 years I am finally able to connect a face and a name to that lovely and haunting voice. And I wasn't disappointed! Thank you!😃

Absolute classic. That's going to be great for centuries.

As a 14 yr old back in 1975 I hated I'm Not In Love, thankfully as I grew older I came to realise just how much of a masterpiece it truly is. The haunting sound and ethereal quality give it a mystical magical vibe. It is also one of those special records that sound timeless- it hasn't aged. 10cc have an incredible back catalogue. I don't think they get the kind of recognition today that they truly deserve, the band has been almost relegated to the "2nd division" of UK rock/pop bands by those who should know better.

For so many years I have wondered how they made this cool sound and the lyrics are perfect when you are in denial that you love someone.

@@frontagulus again, I found that song in the 80s. It sounded current to me; so, I assumed it was a recent release. In addition, it doesn't sound like a lot of the ballads from the 70s.

Man that was a top time of music as a 15 year old!! Such variety! That song still gives me goosebumps. Thank you 10cc

Saw 10CC in Plymouth way back in the 70s and thought “I’m not in Love” was so so wonderful! Saw them again (twice) again 40 years later, and it was every bit as good❤️🤔. This song along with many others of their numbers has made for a cracking legacy. Thank you 10CC 👍👍👍👍👍

one of the best songs in my growing up still puts little flutters of hope in my heart .

This awesome song by 10cc always takes me back to 1975 when I was 17. My first Love's family had moved to another Town 6 months previously and I missed her so much, it hurt even now. She is just like this terrific song, Unforgettable.!😂❤❤

I was a do doing weddings etc, I met my wife dancing to this song, can’t thank you enough ❤

Can't get any better then this harmony wise ...an evergreen

This song still give me chills to this day. Beautiful haunting tune that just takes you away to a much more beautiful place. One of the greatest songs ever recorded in my humble opinion.

Nothing has surpassed it. Totally original. In fact a genuine masterpiece

I love this song, if I'm not mistaken, it was used on the wonderful,heartbreaking, dreamy, ethereal movie "The Virgin Suicides". Beautiful sound. I get this same "Cerebral" feeling when listening to "Don't dream it's over" by Crowded House.

Oh my gosh, I could never put a name to that feeling. Shivery in the head, moody, nostalgic.

Another song close that time period for me would be "Life in a Northern Town". it has a very dreamy surreal vibe too.

I had my very first snog - and what a snog it was - to this wonderful song at the age of 14 and from then on I knew, or thought I knew, what love was. That snog lasted the whole song.

First time I heard this song I was about 7 and my mom had bought a brand new 1976 Toyota Celica with a Hatchback. We had to pull over to the side of the road because we couldn’t believe how cool the song sounded and we just sat there amazed at the sound. As they would say across the pond, we were gobsmacked. I’ll never forget that day.

Hi Tracy

It has such a haunting melancholy way ,i was single digit's when this song came out but always loved this song .. 2024 looking it up on KZread ❤❤❤

Brilliant song from an astounding group whom I don't think get the credit they deserve today. Just one of the musical divergences between me and my wife. I love 10cc and she ridicules them. I was 14 when this song was released. Loved it then and love it still.

One of the best songs in popular music, I've always loved it

This song always reminds me of my childhood and I wasn't even born yet in the 70's... it was still on the radio deep into the 1980's... absolute masterpiece

One of the greatest songs ever recorded.

This song is like gold. It will never lose its shine for generations to come. It captures a moment in everyone’s life that they can relate to, and transports them to that time.😊😔

I’ve been lucky to see 10cc twice. I’m also going to see them again in March 2024. They sound exactly the same as they were in the 70s when I was a teenager. I’m not in love is exceptional. If anyone out there gets a chance to see them in concert buy a ticket. You’ll have an evening of pure entertainment, they are simply the best.

How can they sound exactly as they did in the '70s when only Graham Gouldman remains from the original lineup? Can anyone in the new band replicate the distinctive vocals of Stewart, Godley, and Creme?

@@harmonium8198 I suggest you go and see them for yourself!

They reformed for a tour about five or six years ago. Saw them in Folkestone, in a 200-250 seat venue. They were amazing.

Talk about 10cc and this song comes to mind. This song will be as fresh as it will ever be.

Wonderful insight into one of the finest songs ever recorded.

I've always said that they were the next Beatles as every song they did was totally different from previous works, but as with the Beatles it wasn't to last. A Single word to describe their music would be 'Cinematic'
