Sorry to tell that this song by 10cc, "I'm Not in Love" should have been a heartbreaking ballad, filled with more meaning, hurt and a sad lament. It should have been one of the saddest songs of 1975 plus it should have been on the list of sad songs and break-up songs.
"Long, Long Time" is a song written by Gary White.[1] The song was a hit for Linda Ronstadt in 1970.
Linda Ronstadt version
In 1970, Linda Ronstadt released the song as a single and on the album Silk Purse.[1] The single spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 25,[2] while reaching No. 15 on Canada's "RPM 100",[3] No. 8 on Canada's CHUM 30 chart,[4] and No. 20 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart.[5][6]
In 1971, Linda Ronstadt was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Female Vocal Performance for her rendition of "Long, Long Time".[7]
Other versions
In 1976, Larry Santos released a cover of the song, which reached No. 38 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart[9][10] and No. 109 on Billboard's "Bubbling Under the Hot 100".[11]
In 1998, Canadian singer/songwriter Alannah Myles covered the song for her compilation album The Very Best Of Alannah Myles.[12]
"People In Love" (Creamy pop/soul ballad version), remade by Joyce Berry in 1982:
This is the female version of the Eric Stewart & Graham Gouldman
composition with gender changed from 'her' to 'his' and from 'she' to
'he' where she sings in a lower register, lower than Eric Stewart from
British pop group 10cc.
When American blue-eyed soul/pop singer and backing vocalist Joyce Berry was younger back in 1977, she heard a pop song on the radio, called, "People In Love" by British pop band 10cc she would be more familiar with and then also bought both a small 45 RPM single and a sheet music of the same song, so she had to learn the words to that song over and over again until she was satisfied with it, so she decided to sing it lower in her smoky alto than band member Eric Stewart in his tenor.
Since Joyce is a straightforward pop/soul singer with a soft ballad
voice in a real authentic style, she moves away from the Godley &
Creme artistic, abstract art-rock stuff, progressive rock, avant-garde,
rock opera and experimental stuff when she said "No, I don't like the
abstract art-rock stuff of Godley & Creme because I find it bland
and boring that lacks soul. I don't like it. I prefer Eric Stewart &
Graham Gouldman better that have more soul than that when they made such real authentic pop music that I'm always crazy about.", so she decided to focus more on some of the straightforward Stewart &
Gouldman pop stuff that she is more comfortable with.

"People In Love" - original by 10cc
'People In Love' is Eric's turn to go all gooey-eyed and we'll be getting a lot of these love-lorn ballads from him over the next few albums. Some of them will be stunningly gorgeous, but sadly this inferior sequel to 'The Things We Do For Love' isn't one of his best. The song was actually the very last track ever recorded by the 'old' line-up of 10cc where it had the curious working title 'Voodoo Boogie' (it was later released in 2012 on the 'Tenology' box set) - maybe it was the thought of working on an album full of mawkish songs like this that caused Godley and Creme to quit. Eric is always good at sounding like he's in love, though and 'People In Love' is like one of those kitsch ornaments: so exquisitely carved and molded with so much care and talent that you're impressed even whilst you're being sick from the sheer OTT ness of it all (if ever a song was already so far gone it could have done without syrupy strings it's this one!) Some of the lyrics are sweet though and on an album where 'The Things We Do For Love' hasn't already made the point better this song would be better regarded. Love is again an illness, a form of insanity almost, that turns the narrator's life upside down and means he can 'do nothing right' - another very universal song, then, although some of what it causes the narrator to do sounds rather unusual ('Walk under buses and burn your wings' - sounds like a problem with his eyesight to me, not his lovesick heart). Note the first appearance of a key theme of later Eric Stewart songs - the idea that the narrator
never gets enough time with his beloved before being forced to go
somewhere else and the thought that time moves quicker when you're enjoying yourself (this is the key theme of 'Windows In The Jungle'). A bit of a gooey mess, 'People In Love' should only be listened to by 'People In Love' who can stand the saccharine, although if Eric's vocals on this recording don't make you fall in love with him you have a heart of stone (or a cold).

Sweetness but also character, quality and interpretative skills, suppleness and professional approach to various musical styles: these are Irene’s major features. And that’s what has convinced maestro Fulvio Pietramala to compose a song exclusively for her: What you need is more, a track which evokes the atmospheres of faraway ballads, with lyrics which urge us to think about our yearning to always get the most out of our career, our ambitions, wishes, without ever stopping to think that what we really need is something else... something more...

Where do revolutions begin? They start in the imagination, pulse through the heart, to be electrified in the mind, before they ever reach the realm of action. Once there we notice them in the voices of the passionate. The Romantic Revolution is a counter-revolution against the statism once held in check during 19th century only to rise again in the 20th century, and now runs rampant in the 21st. Far from dead, the Romantic spirit of man resonates through our entertainment as it was once sung through the ballads of troubadours to the desperate serfs longing to be free. The message is simple. "I am an individual and I am free to choose my life and free to reap the rewards and the consequences of my actions, neither man nor god can has righteous claim over me".

Graveyard Train ripped chains and hammers from hell to forge Horror Country. They are the pioneers of a new genre that will make you cry and curse and scream. Ghost stories, murder ballads and tales of redemption are crooned through melodies plucked directly from the afterlife. Haunted love, haunted souls, even haunted clothes are typical subjects covered by the songs of the Graveyard Train. These arenâÂÂt the kind of ghost stories kids tell around the campfire â they are the tales of horror whispered by inmates in the dark, the tales of bloodlust muttered by the insane, the tales of woe and regret whimpered through dying last words. Five men play menâÂÂs instruments just as men were born to do. Chain, washboard, steel guitar, banjo and harmonica â instruments with a long history of storytelling underlay five voices tempered by whiskey, blood and poverty. Graveyard train offer penance to this town of sinners. Beware the plague of locusts, beware the hail of frogs, beware the localized apocalypse that is the Graveyard Train. myspace.com/graveyardtrain3051 Director: Nicholas Clifford Producers: Michael Ciccone, Charlie Sarroff Cinematography: Charlie Sarroff Art Director: Phoebe Wolf Editor: Sasha Dylan Bell Compositing: Callan Woolcock Actress: Rebecca Collins happydaysfilms.com
