    One morning 10cc frontman Eric Stewart was sitting at his kitchen table with his wife of 8 years. When she made the statement. "You don't say 'I love you, enough" his reply was. "If everyday I say. 'I love you darling.' Then the word will lose their meaning." This song is a furthering of his explanation.
    Notice one line.
    Don't tell your friends about "The two of us".
    Your friends are putting things in your head, that they know nothing about. They can't read my mind or know my intentions.
    Eric and his wife Gloria have been married for over fifty years.
    So he is in love.

    This song was revolutionary for its time. The ethereal sounds in the background that made up the melody were incredibly difficult to create, taking hundreds of hours of cutting tape. This is probably very high on the list of greatest songs ever written... at least in the contemporary sense. There is actually an entire documentary dedicated to this song and how it was made.

    • @WilliamTheMovieFan
      @WilliamTheMovieFan 2 года назад +27

      Yeah. Basically they wanted to have a choir singing, but they couldn't afford that, so they all were recorded singing certain notes over and over again. They took all of them and created a choir effect. They also asked the secretary to sing the lines "Be quiet. Big boys don't cry." She didn't want to, but they convinced her.
      Too bad they didn't listen to the longer version. This is the standard "radio" play version. It cuts off some of the best parts.

      @@TranquiloTrev Agreed, but that would be the case for all of us. Right? I've been watching Brad and Lex for quite a while now and sometimes I think they are playing to the camera as two characters to gain a larger audience and engage those that already watch. That might be factual, IDK, but Brad consistently misses the point despite focusing, perhaps too much, on the lyrics, which leaves me to think picking up on human subtleties is not easy for him.

      Although I love "love songs" and this one in particular, being a huge Floyd Fan, thankfully they never did (but Syd in the first album) any love songs and stayed with more cerebral ideas....

    10cc is an incredibly inventive band of their time. When the foursome broke up 2 of the members formed the duo Godley/Creme and did some great music too. This is a very complex song that they had to put together from 1,000's of recordings. The Whoo-Whoos come from the fact that each member had to record their vocal parts at least 17 times to be melded together to make those lush sounds. He's definitely in love.

    For the background vocals, they recorded hundreds of single vocal notes, combined them into separate chords that were all played back simultaneously during recording, and individual chords were played when needed by bringing up the faders on the tracks that contained the chord they needed, basically playing the multi track recorder like an instrument.

    10CC are worth looking at they had some crackin hits, "Donna", "I'm Mandy Fly Me", "Wall Street Shuffle". One that is possibly not played on air now a lot is "Dreadlock Holiday". possibly considered a bit iffy, but like "Rubber Bullets" a very good track. A very underrated group.

    The idea for the song came from singer Eric Stewart saying to his wife that if he kept saying "I Love You" over and over, it wouldn't mean anything even though he did love her. He recalled to The Guardian:
    "I met this gorgeous girl called Gloria at Halifax town hall. I was 18. She was 16. Three years later, we got married. A few years after that, Gloria told me: 'You don't say 'I love you' much anymore.' I told her that, if I said it all the time, it would sound glib. But I started wondering how I could say it without using those actual words. So 'I'm not in love' became a rhetorical conversation with myself - and then a song.(From Songfacts)

    You hit the nail on the head, Lex! It's a song about being an "I'm never gonna settle down" kind of bachelor who's fallen in love -- and trying to fight off having to redefine himself and his priorities. It shows the discomfort of discovering that he's not who he thought he was.
