Camera Obscura - “Lloyd, I’m Ready to Be Heartbroken” (5.99MB mp3 file)
I was really thrilled when I read about this song, because I feel like more people should be paying their respects to Lloyd Cole. (I’m also pleased that a girl is singing this, because I feel like being into Lloyd Cole/the Commotions is seen as a Dude Thing, which bums me out — however, having said that, I did put the actual “Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?” on a mixtape for a boyfriend once and he was not a big fan, heh.) He’s a genius lyricist, and I think it’s a shame that I’ve never been able to talk about how Rattlesnakes is one of my favorite albums ever with anyone who wasn’t a 40-plus-year-old man who misses his college radio glory days, heh. I’m hoping this song helped change that, and maybe turned some twee indie folks on to Mr. Cole’s tunes.
Songs That Saved Your Life
don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you
