    Rattlesnakes LP album was the first album I bought when I was a teenager. Yet Forest fire was the only song I had heard on radio/tv (it was a big hit in the charts), and it was really a haunting song. I still know it by heart...
    And then I've discovered the whole album : woaw !!!! ... Still one of my favorite (all the songs are really very good!)... I spent hours listening to it... Then also bought it as a CD...But still keep preciously my LP album I still cherish!
    Today in 2024 I still listen to it with the same emotion : that's really a feel-good album!
    Many many Thanks to Lloyd Cole and The Commotions for that amazing album! ❤❤❤
    PS : to those who discover this song today : listen to it using good headphones (not with your phone ) if you want to enjoy the sound as it deserves.

      Yes, fantastic writer, they were so good. I could cry listening to this, what I would give to go back, days filled with whatever job you wanted, nights filled with great music, weekends started on a Thursday night and ended on Monday mornings, a night out with a tenner included a Chinese or a kebab and a taxi home. Men were men even when they wore makeup, women were women, children free to be children. We thought the greatest threat to our country was thousands of miles away, not in our own parliament, wth went wrong 😢

      Circa summer 1984. In October I saw The Smiths in Leisure Land, Galway, supported by James. Those we're the days! Best gig I ever saw until 10cc this year in Dublin. PS Love the gorgeous guitar riff at the end.

    Listening to Lloyd Cole was part of the process of learning English. Those times, without Internet, it was play-pause-play in an old cassette recorder and writing in a notebook the lyrics. I know by heart all the songs in this album.

      Not quite my cup of tea, i think in order to listen to this song and get through it, Cole needs you to like him, and i don't like him, i find him completely without charm. But he does show an intelligence of a certain kind.

    I cannot possibly be held responsible for returning to my love for 80’s music, when artists like “Lloyd Cole and the Commotions” have made such beautiful memory evoking and goosebump inducing sounds.

    I will never tire of this album. For me it simply is inconceivable. 'Rattlesnakes' is Lloyd's masterpiece and this is the very best track. I had to think long and hard before making that call. What a debut and Lloyd is still making great music.

    I bought Rattlesnakes when I was 15 back in 1985, when everyone else was listening to Michael Jackson and Madonna[!] It sounds as good now as it did back then -timeless. This is a great clip; classy, sentimental and arty and befitting the music. Lloyd Cole is still making good music and is a pleasure to see live. Deserves 1 million + views but, hey, we can't all have great taste ;)

  • @moonmonkey71
    @moonmonkey71 3 роки тому +11

    One of the most underrated guitar solos ever! Saying that, the song is also perfection. Rumour has it that when recording the song, Neil Clark carried on with his solo whilst the rest of the band disappeared for a cuppa 😊

  • @flexflex5966
    @flexflex5966 4 роки тому +18

    Since I was 13 years old, I considerated this as the best love song ever written, just a sublime peace of Art. And Lloyd Cole was my idol: the most beautiful man and best singer ever. This was the band I loved mostly .

    what about this lyrics
    She crossed herself as she put on her things
    She has promised once before not to live this way
    If she don't calm down she will burn herself out
    Like a forest fire, well doesn't that make you smile
    If you don't slow down, I swear that I'll come round
    And mess up your place, let's go for a spin
    They say we shouldn't even know each other
    And that we'll be undone
    Don't it make you smile like a forest fire
    I believe in love, I'll believe in anything
    That's gonna get me what I want and get me off my knees
    Then we'll burn your house down, don't it feel so good
    There's a forest fire every time we get together
    Hey pick you up, put you down
    Rip you up and spin you round
    Just like we said we would
    'Cause we're a forest fire
    Believe you me, we'll tear this place down
    If we get caught in this wind, then we could burn the ocean
    If we get caught in this scene, we're gonna be undone
    It's just a simple metaphor
    It's for a burning love
    Don't it make you smile like a forest fire
