I cannot bring myself to write about anything political and such. And I spent a good part of the day digging ourselves out from a "decent" amount of heavy snow. Then I went over and did it for my sister-in-law.
I'm kind of taking the easy way out.
ANYHOO.........
Back in - ugh - 1975 / 1976 I purchased the 45 of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love". I just loved that song back then. It was like nothing I had really heard prior.
I'd come to appreciate other songs from the band as well. Members Kevin Godley and Lol Creme would enter the video age as pioneers in the concept and directing fields.
What a 12 year old me - and subsequently an aging me - never thought or considered was how innovative 10cc had been.
There is this video series which breaks down songs, many times just asking if you can guess them from a bass line or a drum loop or some such thing. But they also do deep dives into songs, which for a nerd geek like me that loves to know about process is just a rabbit hole.
But the host breaks down "I'm Not in Love" in an 8 minute (+) segment.
I don't know you need to stick with the entire thing, but just the first few minutes of the vocals are kind of amazing in their concept and execution with technology that is now 50 years old.
Should you be inclined - hit 'play'.
Song by: 10cc
