TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE

This week in 1976, the 10cc single
“The Things We Do For Love” was released (December 3)
The single was the band’s first release after the departure of co-founders and creative songwriting team Godley and Creme.
In a Songfacts interview with 10cc bass player Graham Gouldman, he talked about writing this song with the band’s guitarist Eric Stewart:
“When we started writing that, we had some of the music and he wanted to write a song about suicide," Gouldman said.
“I told him that was not a good idea and fortunately he agreed.
He came up with the title 'The Things We Do For Love,' which is very up and a great title really. What are the things we do for love? What do you do? What should we do for love?"
The lyric was based on Stewart's real-life experience. "I remember walking through the rain and the snow when I lived in Manchester and we didn't have a telephone," he said in a BBC Radio Wales interview.
#I had to go and find a phone box to ring the girl who was about to become my wife. The phones were down, and it was snowing, and these, these vivid pictures are there.
If you put them in a song, a lot of people identify with a similar situation."
It turned out lots of people did, as the song became a hit around the world, going all the way to to #1 in Canada, #2 in Ireland, #5 in the US and Australia, #6 in the UK, and #13 in the Netherlands.
This is the only 10cc song released in both the UK and the USA to chart higher in the US than the UK.
The track was later included on 10cc’s 1977 album “Deceptive Bends”.
