      Yes: It’s genius, actually. We’re hearing emotional layers of communication simultaneously; and we relate because we have been there. He really catches the nuances of emotions within all of the uncertainty that his feelings will ever be reciprocated. It is a very underrated gem.

    The Singers name is Eric Stewart, he wrote this song for his wife, she was upset because he stopped telling her he loved her, so instead of writing your every day love song, he wrote one with lyrics that mean the exact opposite of his feelings towards her, Eric says he now tells his wife every day that he loves her.

      I was born in '80, but I always had a strange nostalgia for the 70's as well- something about imagining my relatives having their "heyday" in that period, or maybe because pop culture started embracing 70's nostalgia when I was a teenager. Regardless, this song definitely transports you to another time no matter when you grew up!

    this is such a beautiful song. the way I'm interpreting it is, the person singing really is in love. He keeps saying it doesn't mean much and that he's not in love and that he only uses the picture to cover up a stain so don't ask for it back only to cover up the fact he's in love, just scared of getting hurt and too proud to admit it and let his walls down. I am just like that.. I never truly let a person know just how much I love them only because I don't want them to know they hold that much power... that they could break my heart. so I usually use phrases similar to the lyrics... what a beautiful song I just can't get over it. there's someone I wish I could show this to...

    I was in the 4th grade, and one of the girls on my block said to other girls she liked me. No way did I know what feelings stirred in me. But this song would play on the am transistor radio I had. No knowing what love, and the feeling of being loved (by someone my own age), meant, I assigned it to this song. I would wait hours just to hear this song play again, and the feelings transport my emotions into an undefined place, even in 2021. Like, the girl on my block was saying to me, through this song, it's OK to be overwhelmed, and not to cry, and be brave. Also, I imagined an older girl, who understood my feelings, tell me that big boys don't cry, like in the song. This song is such magic !

      Yes, but they had a nasty breakup (which is why he still has her picture on his wall) and he is still feeling the pain. This is basically that first phone call (a month or two after the breakup) that he thought would be an easy "how are you doing" call but his emotions are overwhelming him. The repetition of "I'm not in love" is the same as him telling himself to "stay strong, don't let her know you're hurting".

      I thought it was threw the course of his relationship, the begging, he is happy but he's almost embarrassed that he's already head over heels and tries to play cool, and than she's starting to break up with him, probably because she feels he's not emotional attached and he tries to call her and tell her but he can't help to feel weak so to cover up his weakness he lies and says she never meant that much to him. Than at the end it's him realizing that he should have just loved her but now he's too embarrassed because he already lost her so he says he never loved her still, and this song, I feel, is like a final confession to her.
      So sad, and so sweet :')

    One of the best songs ever. The music and lyrics are superb. One of those songs where the lyrics really have meaning. And another thing big boys do cry.

      Try again...This big boy cried the first time I heard it many years ago. I'm 74 YO and it still makes me a bit verklempt. A real work of genius back before they had the exotic recording equipment of the present. One of my all time favorites. Blows me away each time I hear it.

    Wow....no wonder why this song is so amazing. Found this little doc looking for the lyrics. Thank you. As a musician, the way it came to fruition is just magical. Right down to the studio secretary whispering, "Big Boys Don't Cry". Pure genius. A love song that really isn't, but still gives you goosebumps. It took me this long to realize what the song really meant. Now I'm going through it myself, it hurts, but somehow the song still makes me feel good. 10cc rocks ❤️

    Lots to love about this song. Cool lyrics with reverse meaning, of course... and I can't find the right words to describe how the background music/lyrics just fills one's soul. I can listen to this over and over and smother myself with the emotion it finds in me..

    The man told me he’d loved me his whole life. And left. He cared for then buried his father. Is still moving. It’s been a year . I’m still waiting. It’s tough. I drown myself in love songs and try and hold myself together. I’d wait my whole life for this man.

    This is a nice way, presentation and format to feature this song, thank you! It's etheral, other worldly sound, belies a different reality, so much like the guys dual reality of being in love, but doing his utmost to deny it. It's a rather complex composition overall, the tecniques used in creating the music itself and dual meaning of the lyrics. Yet it's also has a kind of simplicity and straitfowardness. Musically it's such a beautiful sound and so very timeless. ❤

    Think this came out in 71-72? I know it was early 70's. Still remember this as a kid. Nice to listen to all these classics. When music was music with great lyrics, and special meaning, unlike the crap that's in the world today

    I return to this song regularly. Love how it makes me feel. Something about him not really able to convince himself.... and we know his feelings are quite the opposite.
    Just captures something in my soul.😎

    The song is about 2 people who love eachother but dont want to share their feelings with the world. They are scared when they fully go for it as a couple the negative influance of others would dammage what they truly have so they keep their love cocooned

    i always relate to this song in the way of not wanting to admit he's in love because the other person doesn't like him back, so he's like whatever i'm not in love anyway but actually it hurts him big time, i feel like all the song is him trying to explain his behavior.
