I'm Not in Love

 

 

My favorite piece of music is 'I'm Not in Love' by 10cc, one of the greatest

British rock bands. The reason why I adore this song is its gentle lyrics and flowing melody remind me of my puppy love, which was one way love. After knowing that she would never have even a glimpse of me no matter how many nights I had spent writing her love letters, I struggled to deny myself falling for her. Even then, I was completely obsessed by her for a long time. The protagonist of the song also repeatedly reminds himself of that he is not in love. However, the words of the song tell us that his behavior, from calling the girl up to keeping the girl's picture upon the wall in his room, proves merely the opposite fact -- he is seriously in love with her. The part, the female narrator's voice is vaguely heard 'Big boys, don't cry' over again, and then, fades away, leads me to be in an almost hypnotic state. The way the piece fades in with the sound of ebullient heartbeats, an amazing feat of imagery, represents a young lover's restless soul owing to unfamiliarity to the feeling of love. The inconsistency between the words and the behavior of the man expresses the agony of immature love that everyone must have had in the past. 'I'm Not in Love' by 10cc is sheer perfection that makes me feel like I am back to my puppy love days.
