My boyfriend and I was lying on the hood of his car , looking at the stars and listening to this song. We were married 2 months later. That was in 75 and we are still best friends and love each other. I can't get enough of the 70's music.
Damn you are the very scene from the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie but a Romantic sense. And I fuc*kin LOVE It! I Want to Give a S/O TO My Momma & These Shroomies. I'm Fuckin with It & On IT, Mother!!! -Your Cloned Funk-UH-Teer!
I'm 61 years of age..I remember when and where I was when this masterpiece came out. 47 years later still a masterpiece and listen to it daily. 10cc my favorite all time band.
One of the greatest songs of all time!! In my humble opinion the 70's without a doubt the greatest decade of music 😃 The list of fantastic music in the 70's, is endless!!
Gen X here and love this song so much. Like the guy in Guardians of The Galaxy, my mom died of a brain tumor. I listened to this ethereal wonder to soothe my soul and remember the cool and hip mom I had.
This song stops me in my tracks. Im almost 60... 23th. September. This song still does something to me. I think most of us still feel it. Those of us 70's kids at heart. Wow.
@@mileqjameel8166 Hello. Wow, it is really cool to hear that these old songs have the same or similar effect on people younger than me. I mean, man, this song tugs HARD on my heartstrings. Makes me all teary-eyed actually. Take care & wish you well!
*Bruh the math ain't mathin you can't be 98. if you were teenager when song came out 50 yrs ago you'd be 57/65 yrs old. how you get 98, better take care of that early on stage dementia* *edit: the older i get the more curmudgeon i get*
Amazing how music can transport you back decades to more youthful times. I ran away from home in 75 to live with my grandpa & did my final year of school prior to university. A turning point in my life. Things steadily got better. This is a very beautiful song. Takes me back to when I was sweet 16.
I am 62, this song and the bands of that era left a lasting impression on the music world and all of us who are still in love with this music.. the world today is now lost and eternally void of ever having the slightest opportunity of producing music like this,, such a shame
The 1950s 60s 70s was unique to Boomers in so many wonderful ways. Our Southern colored peoples gave birth to Music heard around the world. We called it Rock & Roll. Those three decades were "ours" and never again to be repeated or replaced. We'll take these glorious tunes with us to the grave. And then everyone left over can boggie on down the highway to Rap.
Oh my Jesus, where did my youth go? 59 yo and still listening and missing that wonderful time while listening to these classics of gold. "Big boys dont cry".
1975: I was 12 years old that summer; my mom had died almost 4 years prior; my family had descended into chaos as a result and because my dad had crawled into a liquor bottle. I honestly can remember an exact moment in time hearing this song for the first time, right down to the room, and even the chair I sat in. I remember that this song somehow spoke directly to me summing up my grief, loneliness and confusion as to why life had to suck so bad; why did God have to take my momma; and, why didn’t anyone see me anymore? This song still has the same power to reduce me to tears even now as I write this ~ but blurry eyed, runny nose and all, I welcome it because it’s as close to my memories of my mom as I can get, if that makes any sense. 💫Peace all ✨
I understand, lost mine as well! Constantly ask why GOD took both of my parents unexpectedly, left an ONLY Child to fend for herself in this hard core world!!!!!!!
@@islandgirl5382 My wife took my daughter and left me a couple years ago and I have no other family so I really relate. So sorry for your loss and feelings.
So many years ago a lonely awkward 17 yo kid heard this song on an old FM radio. It exposed a very painful realization of lost love and broken dreams of youthful bliss. It had a truly emotional impact when played and created an almost drug-like effect that soothed the soul. That kid is now a weary aged traveler still on that road seeking those distant dreams in the mist that keeps getting thicker. This excellent edit gives that legendary recording its due!
I would like all of us who enjoy these songs to live in the same neighborhood to have afternoons of laughter, sun, wine, dancing and lots of nostalgia... I love you people.
Probably THE best love song written in the 70s. I was 12 in 1975 and fell in love with this song straight away. It’s my favourite love song of all time. I went to see 10CC a few weeks ago in Dublin and though the lineup has changed they did an outstanding version of this classic so much so they got a standing ovation after it. I absolutely love 10CC
The vocals were revolutionary at the time. All of those background voices are the 4 members of the group recorded in layers. By the time they were done they had 600 vocal tracks to work with.
I was so young when this song came out in 1975. And for a little kid to know this song by heart 55 years later it must've been impactful... Wheww... Life is so wonderful at times. 🕊️🙏🏾
I was in my teens when this song first came out. I never really cared too much for it, although I did listen to it from time to time. I was young and stupid. Young and in love and missing the boat on that one girl that I should have married. Joined the Marines and had a 24 year military career, almost getting killed in a far away place, and now an aging man that has all those youthful years trapped in songs such as these. Thank you for the road trip back in time. I never thought this simple post would stir up the kindness of so many wonderful people. I thank you all for the kind words!
Missed my chance with the one who got away too. She lived a block from me the whole time through high school. Joined the USMC and she slipped away. Could kick myself every time I think about it.
I don’t believe there’s ever been a song quite like I’m Not In Love. So hauntingly beautiful on the melody and chorus and yet, so simple on the lyrics.
Incredibly Superb! I was a teen in the 70's. This song was one of the songs that I would never think 10cc would have made versus Dreadlock Holiday, The Things We Do For Love, etc.. Blew me away like the Dark Side Of The Moon Album, P.F. ! If all can listen/find the post , how this song came about and what all the band members, producers, techs & even the front office receptionist did. Amazing for back in the 70's.
OK, I was born in the 40's beat as a child in the 50's, gang violence as a teen mid 60's, went to Vietnam and had my lung shot of my chest late 60's, became a heroin addict after too much morphine in the 70's, but some how I found love, managed to have 3 beautiful daughters, 3 grandkids and lived happily ever after... so no more crying people, you only have one life... live the #&@* out of it!
@wing chunkuen First,Thank you for your service and your reply. I was named after my uncle who was KIA in the Battle of the Bulge with the 508th PIR,82 nd airborne. My father was damaged in Okinawa with the USN 1944 and I enlisted,1967 in the USN right before I got drafted and became a corpsman; at the time I had no idea that navy corpsman became Marine medics..... just like me to get pulled into the suck, but you do what you have to.
This song always brings back wonderful memories of being aged 14 and 15, going to discos and waiting for this very song to be played just so I could slow dance with THAT girl. Older than me and seemingly to me so beautiful and unattainable, she always said yes and had a way of dancing close, so very close, that if I shut my eyes and listen again now I can still remember that feeling of being given a lesson in sensuality...
DancerDee yes it was I'd live in the 70s forever. I turned 15 yrs old in 1970 and 24 yrs old in 1979. Plus 4 yrs in the Marine Corps. Transport me back.
TOTALLY!! The 70s word, for me, an amazing time to be a teenager in high school! Just amazing! At that time, the 60s were passed in in the 70s our school of course was integrated and it was never a problem. We just seriously all got along or if somebody didn’t I didn’t know about it! I had friends of all kinds colors etc. etc. and I just loved them all as my friends💕
I do as well...I was 9 couldn't wait to hear this song daily on the radio until my older siblings purchases it heavy rotation on my portable record player......haunting melody......Prince actually did something similar just before he died.
This is ONE song that when it comes on today will stop me dead in my tracks and have me in a complete FOG...and I admit tears well up in my eyes and I am 58 years old...…...talk about a song that will just stop me on the spot!
Me too! It is IMPOSSIBLE to explain in adequate words to someone (who was not around in 75') what this song did to our ears (and hearts & mind) when it first hit the airwaves! Somewhere else on this post I will again share my story about the first time I heard it- talk about a time machine to MY YOUTH!
Charles Clift me too ,Man..me too😢Reminds me of my sis who was murdered in a drug motel when she was 20 yrs old and 7 months pregnant in ‘79..no charges but we think her boyfriend who was pimping her out did it..he now resides in Cali and is and Artist who ONLY paints pictures of swimming pools ..like the 4’ deep motel pool she was found in..just panty’s and bra and a thumb impression bruise on her temple. The motel manager even told police he had hidden her in the office because some one was trying to kill her.Donut eating fucks on the take🐷
I never appreciated this music in my youth. I just considered it to be part of the landscape. But now that I’m older I realize how important music can be and the 70’s is my decade of choice.
@@uberrandomperson what does my ego have to do with a song that I can't bear to listen to because it is so stupid.. or did you mean eggo like the waffle.? Both make about the same sense. None. Haha my ego.
It takes me back to 1975, I loved the 70's here in Australia, I even think this song is as good as Daryl Hall and he's just superb... GO TRUMP .....I like to say this as much as I can now...go Trumpy xxx
@@shirleyannecourtneyquinten5462 Funny you're down under I'm in the U.S.A. and you like Hall and Oates, and I've always loved Little River Band !!! You probably got to see them live? We sure had great music !!! I like AC/DC TOO !!! Best music to you !!
I do not think there is a single track made in the days which followed the end of the 70's which can trigger an emotional response in me, which even comes close the power of this magical track. I swear to the core, that if I ever suffered a mishap where paramedics were attempting to "jump start" my beats, and they were unsuccessful, I guarantee You, just as sure as fresh shit sticks to a cotton blanket, that if those medics had the resources and fired up THIS song...As in... "...Nurse!! ...We are losing Him!!!...Prepare 10cc of love, I will administer directly to the heart, via the Ear Canal above the carotid artery... " I am certain many people who lived and loved in the days when this track was shelling the airwaves may very well have been at great risk for a myocardial infarction, but I believe this was a case where the cause and cure were one and the same!!!
Here in 2020 and listening to the extended version of this masterpiece for the first time. I would not have thought it possible to improve upon the original. But they’ve done it and here it is.
A friend of mine Paula, and I have been posting songs back and forth to each other for a month now. Paula and I lived on the same street separated by one house. We would hang out and listen to so many great hits of that time. We connected again, through music if the 70's. So grateful for this connection!
I bought everyone of their albums for the next decade after hearing this song on the radio! The ONLY thing wrong about this song was it was not nearly long enough! Problem solved!
I was 3 when this was released. As I got older, I became more and more intrigued with it. It almost seemed hypnotic. Fast forward 30 years later and a drug addiction. I'd lay on my bedroom floor and just play this. The "hiss" and the bridge just took me away. Now sobered up, it still mesmerized me.
As a Manchester boy living many miles away from my hometown,10CC one of the best bands out of Manchester.Still send a chill down me ,and l am over seventy years old😀
I vowed I would never grow up and I never have. Unfortunately the 77 year old carcas I inhabit didn't get the message. It's slowly breaking down. Songs like this make it less destructive.
I'm getting chills listening to this....takes me to the the 70's best time ever!!! This song spent three weeks at #2 this week back in 1975. Love it all over again!
Love this song!!!. Thank you for a beautiful night and let's do it again!!. If I call you don't make a fuss, don't tell your friends about the two of us!!. Lololo!!!!.
Long road trips, I had to listen to what dad had on the radio . I didn’t appreciated the music back then as an 8 year old, but now I’m 58 and have a true appreciation of this beautiful music.❤️
OMG! I listen to this song and I travel back in time...I was a teenager when I used to listen to it on the radio, back in the days. What a Beautiful Masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this Jewel.
I was a teen too in NYC and had my radio glued to Light FM - the soft rock channel. I loved it. The 80s the music began to change and it appears that soft rock was beginning to die. In the 90s it was good as dead and now all I have are the great memories.. sigh.
I'm listening to this song and brand new headphones which I received from my birthday yesterday, I never thought this song could sound any better. It sure can when you have great headphones to listen to it through. I will love this song forever. It reminds me of driving from Pennsylvania to Long Beach island in New Jersey, for summer vacay.
I remember this song very well. I remember running a mile run at the stadium. This song played on the car radio. At that time, my mother, brother, 4 uncles, dad, 3 aunts, and my cousins Trino and Carmen were alive. I did my best to spend time with them. Young people, spend time with your family while you have them. Time flies.
this song bring back good memories , i was 12yrs old listening to this song riding my bike delivering news papers, now as an adult and a officer bring back wonderful memories of my childhood and first crush i had on a female..😀😀
I'm sorry it happened to me val but I joined the United States air force mitary police presidential duty Jimmy Carter wow did I forget after that in 1980
I worked in radio from 1975 to 1990. This is the one song I never got tired of hearing. I love the fact that it is so unique and was ahead of its time, from a production standpoint. This is a great extended mix of this fine song. Love it!
I'm 63 years-old and hands down, I enjoy R&B and soul music. But I recall listening to this song in my youth and I've always enjoyed it immensely and it brings back incredible and warm memories. DJ DiscoCat, I want to thank you for uploaded this. This song takes me down a pleasant Memory Lane.

Great song. I miss the days of my youth. I have found that a personal relationship with Jesus (God became a man and walked with us), paid the price and reconciled us with our Creator is everything. He will fulfill those longings you feel when you hear songs like this. The eternal longings we all have. You will not regret trusting in Him.
avioncamper don't get me wrong this is a pretty song. But why is it when I hear this song I think this guy is obsessed with the girl he is speaking of. I don't know I could be wrong about him being obsessed. But just seems that way. Lol
When I first heard this song, I loved the instrumentals but didn't understand the lyrics. My being 7 years of age when it came out provides context. However now I get the song totally, perhaps a little too totally.
.... THE OCEANIC ECHOS....... like the waves crashing against time ....and how it beats to the sound of the heart .... the heart beat.... then the momentary silence, the crystalized sounds... , like sand and tear drops falling against those waves... the dreamlike ambiance..... slowly drowning through the waves of time... lots of time...... of days gone by... it was the end of summer and the year was 1975.......~ yes, a haunting melody
So, when I first heard this song in 1975, I had just gotten a new 1975 emerald green Eldorado. My best girlfriend and I took a ride to Miami, from Brooklyn, NY, to break the car in. Plus, my sister had just passed away and I wanted to get away. Well, I loved this song so much, that I played it over and over and over again all the way to Miami. ALL THE WAY!! I swear to you I did! On the way back, I played, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", by Elton John. Those two songs were my very favorites, and still are. Whenever I hear, "Im Not In Love", I just stop what Im doing and listen to it with as much love for it as I had in 1975. It was a great treat for me to hear this long version of the song. Thanks for the memory...(which will never die).
This album was released the year I was born; I'm connected to it. I feel the beautiful vibration and the repeating eclectic ear-gasm. Thanks for uploading this timeless gem. Happy New Year to each one of you within the comment section. Cheers from Memphis!❤️🍻🥳
The fact that 10cc are not in the RNR Hall of Fame is outrageous,besides an exemplary catalogue of progressive pop music they also contributed by pioneering excellence in recording and engineering technique. ⚡️👍🏻
... loved this song even back in the 70's when I was just a little girl. Stumbling upon this extended version in 2020 is such treat, and each time I listen to this song I swear my appreciation heightens. _This is a musical 'masterpiece' _Beautiful, layered, and altogether sublime
My boyfriend and I was lying on the hood of his car , looking at the stars and listening to this song. We were married 2 months later. That was in 75 and we are still best friends and love each other. I can't get enough of the 70's music.

@wing chunkuen First,Thank you for your service and your reply. I was named after my uncle who was KIA in the Battle of the Bulge with the 508th PIR,82 nd airborne. My father was damaged in Okinawa with the USN 1944 and I enlisted,1967 in the USN right before I got drafted and became a corpsman; at the time I had no idea that navy corpsman became Marine medics..... just like me to get pulled into the suck, but you do what you have to.
AMEN!!
Sounds to me like you had a full Life you did get to come home after the War. That says your a good guy. God blessed you.

you're a miracle. God had a plan for you - kimie
Extended version is so well done!! Can listen to this classic all day ❤️❤️
This song always brings back wonderful memories of being aged 14 and 15, going to discos and waiting for this very song to be played just so I could slow dance with THAT girl. Older than me and seemingly to me so beautiful and unattainable, she always said yes and had a way of dancing close, so very close, that if I shut my eyes and listen again now I can still remember that feeling of being given a lesson in sensuality...
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@!!!!!!!!
Maybe you were teaching her about intimacy too!
@@kikupub71 Perhaps, I'd like to think that of course. O to wind the clock back...
I'm getting chills listening to this....takes me to the the 70's best time ever!!!
DancerDee yes it was I'd live in the 70s forever. I turned 15 yrs old in 1970 and 24 yrs old in 1979. Plus 4 yrs in the Marine Corps. Transport me back.
I'm in tears
TOTALLY!! The 70s word, for me, an amazing time to be a teenager in high school! Just amazing! At that time, the 60s were passed in in the 70s our school of course was integrated and it was never a problem. We just seriously all got along or if somebody didn’t I didn’t know about it! I had friends of all kinds colors etc. etc. and I just loved them all as my friends💕
70's, yeah, those were the years . . .
I do as well...I was 9 couldn't wait to hear this song daily on the radio until my older siblings purchases it heavy rotation on my portable record player......haunting melody......Prince actually did something similar just before he died.
I would drop everything, and just put my ear up to the speakers, and drift...with this song. It's still so beautiful!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
Agreed! How many young schoolboys thought of their crushes when they first heard this super-classic ballad in 1975?
Mike Sinclair . Ditto!
Completamente agree
You are right

Thanks for this extra dose of love because we all know he really was in love.
I am a 74 year old American and this is my all time favorite song. Eric Stewart is my favorite artist. 😊
This is ONE song that when it comes on today will stop me dead in my tracks and have me in a complete FOG...and I admit tears well up in my eyes and I am 58 years old...…...talk about a song that will just stop me on the spot!
Me too! It is IMPOSSIBLE to explain in adequate words to someone (who was not around in 75') what this song did to our ears (and hearts & mind) when it first hit the airwaves! Somewhere else on this post I will again share my story about the first time I heard it- talk about a time machine to MY YOUTH!
Charles Clift me too ,Man..me too😢Reminds me of my sis who was murdered in a drug motel when she was 20 yrs old and 7 months pregnant in ‘79..no charges but we think her boyfriend who was pimping her out did it..he now resides in Cali and is and Artist who ONLY paints pictures of swimming pools ..like the 4’ deep motel pool she was found in..just panty’s and bra and a thumb impression bruise on her temple. The motel manager even told police he had hidden her in the office because some one was trying to kill her.Donut eating fucks on the take🐷
Haven one of those , Coulda woulda shoulda moments?
@@ii-ok3jo So sorry for the loss of your sister and her unborn child. Praying for you my friend.
I'm 54, same feeling. I was 14 when this came out but I already knew what he was singing about....
43 years and this song still haunts me.
Me too many different ways
Smooth and soothing, I am 72 and still listening to good music like this.
I never appreciated this music in my youth. I just considered it to be part of the landscape. But now that I’m older I realize how important music can be and the 70’s is my decade of choice.
Totally agree with you

I never appreciated this song in the 70s and it's still stinks in 2021.
@@maureenwormuth7932 your ego is hurting you
@@uberrandomperson what does my ego have to do with a song that I can't bear to listen to because it is so stupid.. or did you mean eggo like the waffle.? Both make about the same sense. None. Haha my ego.
I’m going to be 78 and because of Star Lord got me listening to this song again I thank u
It takes me back to 1975, I loved the 70's here in Australia, I even think this song is as good as Daryl Hall and he's just superb... GO TRUMP .....I like to say this as much as I can now...go Trumpy xxx
Great music in guardians of the galaxy
Bless your heart !! I'm 11yrs behind. You took the words right out of my mouth. 60s and 70s are the best !!!
@@shirleyannecourtneyquinten5462 Funny you're down under I'm in the U.S.A. and you like Hall and Oates, and I've always loved Little River Band !!! You probably got to see them live? We sure had great music !!! I like AC/DC TOO !!! Best music to you !!
You are not alone...I'm nearly 60 and sense your longing. Be well and stay safe.
My God I was in the 5th grade when this song came out. But heard this on the radio more often in 77 and 78. Love it!
This song spent three weeks at #2 this week back in 1975. Love it all over again!
DJDiscoCatV2 Dude... Killer... If you mixed all of this yourself... HATS OFF TO YOU!
thanks for your kind comments! I did do it all myself...it was an already awesome song and I love it soooo much!
I get it and it's a very creative way to achieve the affect. Helps me to think outside of the box.
I do not think there is a single track made in the days which followed the end of the 70's which can trigger an emotional response in me, which even comes close the power of this magical track. I swear to the core, that if I ever suffered a mishap where paramedics were attempting to "jump start" my beats, and they were unsuccessful, I guarantee You, just as sure as fresh shit sticks to a cotton blanket, that if those medics had the resources and fired up THIS song...As in... "...Nurse!! ...We are losing Him!!!...Prepare 10cc of love, I will administer directly to the heart, via the Ear Canal above the carotid artery... " I am certain many people who lived and loved in the days when this track was shelling the airwaves may very well have been at great risk for a myocardial infarction, but I believe this was a case where the cause and cure were one and the same!!!
Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate you sharing this song w/ us.
Here in 2020 and listening to the extended version of this masterpiece for the first time. I would not have thought it possible to improve upon the original. But they’ve done it and here it is.
A friend of mine Paula, and I have been posting songs back and forth to each other for a month now. Paula and I lived on the same street separated by one house. We would hang out and listen to so many great hits of that time. We connected again, through music if the 70's. So grateful for this connection!
I bought everyone of their albums for the next decade after hearing this song on the radio!
The ONLY thing wrong about this song was it was not nearly long enough!
Problem solved!
I was 3 when this was released. As I got older, I became more and more intrigued with it. It almost seemed hypnotic. Fast forward 30 years later and a drug addiction. I'd lay on my bedroom floor and just play this. The "hiss" and the bridge just took me away. Now sobered up, it still mesmerized me.
This has been me forever! Tears! Dont get me wrong it's just a silly phase I'm going thru! Love her so much!

What a beautiful way to honor someone's memory 😢
Like the sound of Angels arriving. A modern Music Masterpiece from 1975.
As a Manchester boy living many miles away from my hometown,10CC one of the best bands out of Manchester.Still send a chill down me ,and l am over seventy years old😀
I have loved this since I was a kid in the 70's trying to be an adult.
I vowed I would never grow up and I never have. Unfortunately the 77 year old carcas I inhabit didn't get the message. It's slowly breaking down. Songs like this make it less destructive.
🤣🤣🤣 I love u
Party On!!God bless
You win the internet with that comment 😎
*I feel you, ma'am* 😔🙏🏽💥
Blessings. 💜
I'm getting chills listening to this....takes me to the the 70's best time ever!!!
This song spent three weeks at #2 this week back in 1975. Love it all over again!
Complete sense, powerful triggers music
Love this song!!!. Thank you for a beautiful night and let's do it again!!. If I call you don't make a fuss, don't tell your friends about the two of us!!. Lololo!!!!.
I was 19 when this was first released. An unsurpassable piece of music. Re-tuning into it in 2020 and still unsurpassable.
Stopped me in my tracks at 19 also !!
Long road trips, I had to listen to what dad had on the radio . I didn’t appreciated the music back then as an 8 year old, but now I’m 58 and have a true appreciation of this beautiful music.❤️
OMG! I listen to this song and I travel back in time...I was a teenager when I used to listen to it on the radio, back in the days. What a Beautiful Masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this Jewel.
I was a teen too in NYC and had my radio glued to Light FM - the soft rock channel. I loved it. The 80s the music began to change and it appears that soft rock was beginning to die. In the 90s it was good as dead and now all I have are the great memories.. sigh.
I was 22 when this com out
Wish we could turn back time. Hate the time were in now. Alsum song
Okay, Jewel did NOT post or upload this song! ... ( Ha ha. ... JK. Cheers. :)
This song is important to me.
important! obviously!
I'm listening to this song and brand new headphones which I received from my birthday yesterday, I never thought this song could sound any better. It sure can when you have great headphones to listen to it through. I will love this song forever. It reminds me of driving from Pennsylvania to Long Beach island in New Jersey, for summer vacay.
I remember this song very well. I remember running a mile run at the stadium. This song played on the car radio. At that time, my mother, brother, 4 uncles, dad, 3 aunts, and my cousins Trino and Carmen were alive. I did my best to spend time with them. Young people, spend time with your family while you have them. Time flies.
I remember as a teenager, when this song came out. It broke my heart..
Still does...
The ULTIMATE love song. Period.
this song bring back good memories , i was 12yrs old listening to this song riding my bike delivering news papers, now as an adult and a officer bring back wonderful memories of my childhood and first crush i had on a female..😀😀
Good Music so many memories really takes me back to my youth.
There was this girl named Vicky that had just broken my heart when I first heard this song, OMG it just made my eyes get all watery
I'm sorry it happened to me val but I joined the United States air force mitary police presidential duty Jimmy Carter wow did I forget after that in 1980
Love people who are amazing 70 baby yea..
Brasil 66 song by Sergio .Mendez
I worked in radio from 1975 to 1990. This is the one song I never got tired of hearing. I love the fact that it is so unique and was ahead of its time, from a production standpoint. This is a great extended mix of this fine song. Love it!
That was time when we could hold the album, feel the vibes, be a part of the experience.
The best song about denial ever !

@@kirkwatstien6979 H? 10ccs so I could see the 7 seas
I'm 63 years-old and hands down, I enjoy R&B and soul music. But I recall listening to this song in my youth and I've always enjoyed it immensely and it brings back incredible and warm memories. DJ DiscoCat, I want to thank you for uploaded this. This song takes me down a pleasant Memory Lane.
This is how I remember the good times. They were good and plenty of them. This is one of the best ever. I’m 62 and it still tares me up.

I will never get tired of this beautiful song! Love it!
So do am I
This tune is a monument to beauty & taste & technical wizardry !! We're lucky it "happened" !! It is pure genius !!
Great song. I miss the days of my youth. I have found that a personal relationship with Jesus (God became a man and walked with us), paid the price and reconciled us with our Creator is everything. He will fulfill those longings you feel when you hear songs like this. The eternal longings we all have.
You will not regret trusting in Him.
50s,60s,70s,& 80s.I'll get off at all 4 stations.
Lové this song ! Makes me cry though
It made this big boy cry.
be quiet, stay quiet..
Big boys don't cry!
I was born in the 70s and it was a decade that took music to another world and brot it back in the 80s
The more he says he is not in love, the less I believe him. lol, Keep up the great work.
And the beautiful girl whom he's trying to convince will continue to ignore his denial.
avioncamper don't get me wrong this is a pretty song. But why is it when I hear this song I think this guy is obsessed with the girl he is speaking of. I don't know I could be wrong about him being obsessed. But just seems that way. Lol
And they are still together. Eric and wife. 😊
He’s deep IN LOVE. 🥰
When I first heard this song, I loved the instrumentals but didn't understand the lyrics. My being 7 years of age when it came out provides context. However now I get the song totally, perhaps a little too totally.
One of my all-time favorite songs.
Lo excelente de esta canción es la sincronización de los 1,000 coros que realizan de inicio a fin!!!!!
.... THE OCEANIC ECHOS....... like the waves crashing against time ....and how it beats to the sound of the heart .... the heart beat.... then the momentary silence, the crystalized sounds... , like sand and tear drops falling against those waves... the dreamlike ambiance..... slowly drowning through the waves of time... lots of time...... of days gone by... it was the end of summer and the year was 1975.......~ yes, a haunting melody
Thanks for your great description 🙁
I want whatever you're on :)
Lovely words
So, when I first heard this song in 1975, I had just gotten a new 1975 emerald green Eldorado. My best girlfriend and I took a ride to Miami, from Brooklyn, NY, to break the car in. Plus, my sister had just passed away and I wanted to get away. Well, I loved this song so much, that I played it over and over and over again all the way to Miami. ALL THE WAY!! I swear to you I did! On the way back, I played, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", by Elton John. Those two songs were my very favorites, and still are. Whenever I hear, "Im Not In Love", I just stop what Im doing and listen to it with as much love for it as I had in 1975. It was a great treat for me to hear this long version of the song. Thanks for the memory...(which will never die).
I thought I was crazy,.....lol....over and over.......but you're insane ....
This song just took me back , to all those friends and places ,.. when I was 12 , Beautiful memories.
This album was released the year I was born; I'm connected to it. I feel the beautiful vibration and the repeating eclectic ear-gasm. Thanks for uploading this timeless gem. Happy New Year to each one of you within the comment section. Cheers from Memphis!❤️🍻🥳
Just got catapulted back to the 70s.
Young love, good times!
This is good old music. They just don't write songs like this anymore. Todays music dnt even compare.
The fact that 10cc are not in the RNR Hall of Fame is outrageous,besides an exemplary catalogue of progressive pop music they also contributed by pioneering excellence in recording and engineering technique. ⚡️👍🏻
... loved this song even back in the 70's when I was just a little girl. Stumbling upon this extended version in 2020 is such treat, and each time I listen to this song I swear my appreciation heightens.
_This is a musical 'masterpiece'
_Beautiful, layered, and altogether sublime
this song was on the movie Jaws soundtrack .. this band reminds me of Wings I was ten when this came out
This is a beautiful version of this song, btw, and I love love love it ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing ❤❤
I'll love this song always 💙❤💙💙
