relax & connect to your heart again - nothing is gone . These songs just bring me back to 1985 when i saw Lloyd Cole live .....and feeling alive ....happy to be who i am in 2022 . Remember , its your ego who thinks u have lost your youth ...but actually , if u truly wanted to be back in those times , u would know its possible ....so go for it or lament - Your choice

@@streetcleaning711 You can get back to your best feelings and cleanse the body deeply _ u have just never put in the deep work & experienced profound consciousness shifts . Why ? because of your ego limitations , attachments to false concepts sold by society / TV News / your siblings . WHAT about the SOUL infusing ? have u experienced how amazing that process feels like ? probably not ...or not yet . I do not re-create the past ( misunderstanding by your mind ) , i practice a specific Yoga that brings back some of the easy flowing feelings ( from the heart and from the body too ) i experienced when i was 14 /17 /19 / 25 or 29 years old . I know it's possible because i live it every day . Do you know the real power of ancient yogic practices ? i am not talking about the gymnastic like yoga so many spread on their yutube channels that feels really limited and identified only with the body's health ....but the Real Profound alchemical practices & philosophy . Never tasted it ? u should give it a try .....it could change your life around within 2,3 years . I could help u get a taste of it .... 🙏Namaste

Confession: I might have teared up with joy when Lloyd performed this a couple of weeks ago in Paris...

Why O Why can we not produce bands as talented as these anymore. I blame television

Teaching myself Macromedia Flash with this on! Class xx

Still brilliant and fresh after all these years, I'm transported back to great times.

The album with the empty swimming pool is the CD I have. I just can't believe Lloyd Cole & The Commotion don't have any air time on any of the classics radio stations these days, I guess great taste went out of style these past 15 years!!

Great music ,Lloyd Cole and the commotions ,Lloyd Coles voice was so smooth.

Great artist for sure 😊

Took this album to Australia in 86. My antipodean family just loved this, as did I.😉❤❤❤

Taking a risk , I haven't heard this song for a long time. Forever ❤️💏👍

A typical 80's song-timeless and brilliant.

Fell in love with a girl named Louise in 1985. She had perfect skin. She *was* this song.

I love that one note solo. It's up there with 'I can see for miles'.

i used to know a man who looked just like lloyd cole did here and i miss him dearly!

I forgot about this band and I forgot how good they were and they bring back great memories

Fantastic song and wonderful 80s sound. Lloyd's voice and clever lyrics complement the catchy and crisp guitar sounds perfectly. Their breakthrough hit ; deserved to chart a lot higher than Number 26 in the UK. I love 'Lost Weekend' too.

Loyd Cole reminds me a bit of Morrissey. I'll probably be hounded out of existence for Sayin Such a Thing!

Lloyd was one good looking guy back in the day 😎

Always a fan. Perfec5 songs. The guitarist must be a genius together with Loyd. All of them

I found him in 83 and he still follows me even his solo thing

a little Big star, a little Television, a little Elvis, great lyrics, what can go wrong

Eram muito simpáticos.

I remember now my childhood. So many memorys from this song.

All the sixth form boys at the boys grammar school were aspiring Lloyd Cole’s in the mid to late 80s. And I was smitten by the arty boys❤️😂

That guitar riff mid song 🎵 class rattlesnakes amazing album

Classic!!!

Perfect band!.

remember going to the golan heights with rattlesnakes on my walkman. Magnificent

three minutes of absolute magic.

so true a real class act to say the lest

This album tuned my ears into proper music, the 80s was so diverse so I could of easily missed it. But thankfully I heard rattlesnakes and I had to get the album. Which by the way for me had a full albums of no 1s. Forest fire and 2cc being may favourites. This vinyl was on continuous play on my little deca 45. Then I got big country vinyl which was equally amazing then I got sledge hammer roughly all about the same time, and still I can't split them

✨ I'm really thinking and believing that's the Best First Album in the Music History ... I mean in all kinds : Rock, Jazz, Blues ... That's a Miracle ... perfect ... just perfect ! How can it be ? This Album sounds like a Revelation ... All is perfect ... forever ... Bravooo Maestro Lloyd Cole, With admiration Salim from France ✨

Just ordered a rattlesnakes re-release from a local Glasgow record store. Catching up with some of my past vinyl collection. Great music like this filtered through the two-tone/talking heads vibe I was on at the time.

Wow - us alternatives loved Lloyd Cole in the early 80s - a lot of mix tapes floating around lol. Also, another band called Blue Nile I believe.

I love it so much❤

This song is integral to my appreciation of music! As a teenager stuck in a rural town... I was incredibly lucky to have grown up with songs that challenge you... Smokin' 🔥

Qu il était beau c est toujours bien !!!! 💜💜💜💜💞💖

Just an amazingly simple, yet well written song that still sounds just as good now compared to when first released.

It was the perfect pop song too. Masterful.

Perfect pop.

Thanks for this beautiful music 🎵♥️

Those guitars at 2:06 get me every time

Brilliant and Fresh Unforgettable song

They made great music and were so much of the eighties takes me back to great times and when everything didn’t hurt when I wake up in the morning like it does now

A fantastic group the music gets into your skin!!!!

Lloyd never desapointed us.

I love major 7 chords, so I love 80's guitar pop.

this song is a perfect tuned blissful feeling!xx he sounds so lovely.xxxdebbie o

I can remember being on a car journey to Aberdeen and heard thus incredible song,Lloyd Cole's voice lends itself to perfect lyrics too.

always liked it when he sang the live, the last line was turned into "the moral of this song is that we need another government"

Cracking lyrics by Lloyd and the bass guitar in the background the accoustics at the front melody complete intelligence from a great band

rattlesnakes, the album, is a masterpiece.

Ich liebe den Song und alles was danach kommt auf dem Album.

I came here after the tragic death of the band "hers". Trying to think who the lead singers voice reminded me of. Then it came to me Lloyd Cole! R.I.P

top lyrics, and I 57 years young now. re- discovered this 20 mins ago . It is still , total class. and I wish I knew that

Long time ago, pop was music.

Great Song, love this

Esos pantalones blancos con ese “sweater” negro, esa piel pálida y esa música irreemplazable. Todo aquello me volvía loco. Cómo amé a Lloyd Cole y como extraño los 80. .
