What a lovely little story, and so glad that he took his dad’s advice.

Famous composer in the sixties (Look through any window; Bus stop; For your love; No milk today); member of 10CC in the seventies (he is one of the composers of "I'm not in love"); member of the duo Wax UK in the eighties (with the hit "Right between the eyes"). Graham Gouldman is a rock legend!

Gouldman is now in the Songwriters Hall of Fame where he rightly belongs. 1965-66, what an incredible 2 years he had and it didn't end there as he continued to write great songs for his band 10CC.

Cant beat this, Awesome band, still today!!

Graham Gouldman never charted as a solo artist but he gave so many great hits to rock music history...

What a great talent Graham Gouldman is.

Lovely! And I love 10cc... met them once. Fun!

I never knew who Graham Gouldman was even though I've loved his songs for decades. What a talent!

I've been singing his songs all my life! Thanks for sharing this!

I was there. Fantastic night, Happy to meet the audience after the show. You can feel a very happy atmosphere on stage.

Love it. I never knew Graham Gouldman wrote it. So glad we have his version here.

They don't lose their essence wooo how beautiful they sing and play those guitars 😍😍😍😍

In 2020 - what a clear, clean, beautiful rendition of his classic song, made popular by Herman's Hermits - when their lead singer was also 15-16 years old! Gouldman's voice - and all of their voices - so clear, and still so full of youth! They make this song sound so easy - but the chord changes, minor to major, and back again, with the mood of the lyrics as they change, while singing, is actually difficult. What a bunch of pro's. He wrote some GREAT songs - what an amazing ear for a subtle Hook, and beautiful chords and lyrics. Thanks for posting this. So many people are left out of the common history of music - and writers eclipsed by those who sang the songs they wrote, before singer/songwriters became the rule, and not the exception.

Read the book Wild Tales by Graham Nash. The Hollies went to visit Graham Goldman and were blown away that He had written Bus Stop, Look Through Any Window, and No Milk Today and He was only 15 at the time.

such a great Talent so much great music

I love this song always have

I saw him in Carre in Amsterdam. Main act 10cc and this song was one of them as a warming up. Great artist and I enjoyed everey minute of it

Fabulous! Now THAT'S a pop song!

What a great rendition of that song.

Excellent 👍 Acoustic Version !! Spot On!!

A lovely story...His dad must have been amazing..

Herman's Hermits did a great job with this number...

I just LOVE this song! Wow, what a great story! I have loved hearing Herman’s Hermits version for 50 years, BUT, this tells us The Rest of The Story! Simply Beautiful! Thank You, Graham!! Peace and Love!! Steve

What a beautiful song. I just heard the Herman's Hermits version today.

Graham Gouldman wrote this song for the Hermits when he was young. He also wrote for the Yardbirds and others. Look him up.

We love Peter & the Hermits, of course. But it's NICE to hear the AUTHOR sing it. Btw, Hermits never quite did THESE backing vocal harmonies which are RICH and TIMELESS like 16th century minstrels in the 21st....Shakespeare would have LOVED this, I'm sure.

WOW, a very pleasant surprise to catch your fantastic arrangement, and the vocals gave me goosebumps.

Such a brilliant artist!

This has always been one of my favorite of Graham's songs. It's amazing how even more beautiful it sounds when 30 strings are involved!

MOST fond Pop musical memory in category with all British Pop of the era. It was a WEALTH of style. ~an embarrassment of cultural riches. And also, hauntingly evocative of all common parts of life across the World

A great POP song, from the golden era.

Thank you Graham for explaining the song! Lots of people don't know the meaning of the song! I love HH version!

Fantastic story - fantastic performance.

Absolutely delightful!

Best song writer of our time by far

Beautiful

So talented! Have seen this group a few times, but the first time was in Napier NZ. Had just arrived there & saw they were performing that evening. Very grateful to get a couple of tickets in the ‘Gods’. Finished with Rubber Bullets - I was on my feet straightaway. Turned round at the end and everybody else was still seated. Still when you pass 60 you aren’t easily embarrassed!

Incredible song....Brilliant song writer and great job above---

One of the most important and respected personalities in the music industry ever.A lifetime greek fun

I love that ending, Graham is a genius

One of the best LIVE bands well worth a look.

A kitchen sink drama within a pop song - akin to Squeeze's Up The Junction. Genius.

Escuche esa música en una cinta de grabación de los años 69'sen el año 1985,no había tecnología y desconocía el inglés. Siempre pensé que eran de los Beatles, nunca supe el título...NO MILK TODAY...muy buena se lo escuché a Herman's en original 😎🤜

I love this song

NO MILK TODAY "No milk today" - my love has gone away. The Bottles stands forlorn A symbol of the dawn "No milk today" - it seems a common sight But people passing by Don't know the reason why How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes - the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as Queen. "No Milk Today" - it wasn't always so The company was gay We turned night into day As music played - the faster did we dance We felt it both at once The start of our romance How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes - the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as Queen "No milk today" - my love has gone away The bottles stands forlorn A symbol of the dawn.... But all that left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up, two down "No milk today" - it wasn't always so The company was gay We turned night into day As music played - the faster did we dance We felt it both at once The start of our romance How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes - the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as Queen "No milk today" - my love has gone away The bottles stands forlorn A symbol of the dawn.... But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up, two down All that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house - a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up, two down Just two up, two down Just two up, two down Just two up, two down "No milk today"....

These guys really can do vocals - amazing. Didn't know he had written this as I was only aware of the 10cc songs

I'm glad I was a teenager when all these songs came along in the sixties Yardbirds,Hollies etc.

One of the top songwriters of today

Love the song!

Excellent performance, thanks for the posting

Way back in maybe 1970, I stumbled on this 45 of Graham Gouldman's at a second hand store.. I always loved the song when done by Herman's Hermits. I'm sure at that time I was unaware it was Graham's song. But absolutely loved it. I can't get enough of these youtube videos of Graham playing all my favorites from the '60's that he wrote. What a great song writer. So glad the bands that recorded his songs, didn't butcher them! I still consider "Bus Stop" as about my favorite song ever.

FANTASTIC SONG

what a great version .

A million thanks. What brilliance.

I didn`t know Graham wrote this . I love the orginal "Herman's hermits" song of course . Awesome !

Brilliantly written by Graham and performed with passion by Peter Noone.

nice acoustic version - great song writer

Brilliant tune!

I saw Graham and co. perform this and loads of his other songs made famous by other artists plus all the 10cc songs at Southend yesterday and they were absolutely superb. It's even better when you see them sing live, the harmonies are spot on.

absolutely amazing

Just the beautiful ! song !!!! to me !!! FOREVER !!

Absolutely love this song

Brilliant performance he's still got it what a talent!

Graham is a very talented singer and songwriter

Loved n sang it since my childhood. Now I got the answers: who wrote it is the same man who wrote Loves not for me! How the interesting-felt-for-years’ symbol of no milk used was inspired from! Thank Gouldman for your music. God bless you in all.

Brilliant. Thanks for that

Fabulous!

Grew up hearing 10cc love it.

What a great performance. Catch them live!

Harmonies & BGV's are sweet.
