19 January 2019. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such the Lloyd Cole And The Commotions and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily. And love, admiration and adoration.
Lloyd Cole such a talented fella I loved the eighties and still do if I'm honest 53 years old and privileged to have spent my younger years listening to beautiful eighties music them were the days ❤❤❤when life was so much simpler
I was a heroin addict when I heard this song originally and loved it. When I listen to it now, with a sober head it brings back joy and sadness of those times. I think it’s a mistake to look at those times with regret, or as a dismal failure as they were the times that made me who I am.
i wasn't addicted to heroin,but i had a different one. it's true thataddiction teaches a brutal lesson - but one which is enduring. being sober can be as addictive to being high
Lloyd Cole does not have millions of fans but those who love his work are and will be with him till the end of time 😊 First time I've listen to Lloyd Cole and the Commotions was back in 1989 and was love at first sight or first hearing 😄
Anche io li ascoltai nel 1989 e , anche per me fu amore a prima vista e al primo ascolto,tanto che mi affrettai a comprarne LP che ancora conservo come una reliqua.
I think the greatest songwriters never achieve massive commercial success because their uniqueness makes them hard to sell. Lloyd Cole sits alongside Tommy Keene, Paul Westerberg and Alex Chilton in the "massively underrated, but if you know you know" club. One way to see things; "the Velvet Underground didn't sell many records, but everyone who bought one formed a band". And I'll bet a _lot_ of guys picked up a guitar and started a band because Lloyd Cole inspired them.
Why do we never hear this guy on our radio, it’s just beautiful & makes me feel good, far more interesting than the rubbish they bang out today His voice is so distinctive & he’s an amazing songwriter
This is a totally ace song. Lloyd Cole is a live wire at singing and his backing band The Commotions provide some really upbeat music. It’s hard to believe it’s come to thirty years since we were seeing out the eighties, of which Lost Weekend is part of.
I just got to say this mad thing that also needs acknowledging and thats the fact that Lloyd feels comfortable enough to dance,and on camera,which was a Bloody rare thing with blokes back in the day,it was so do rare to see a bloke really enjoy himself so good for you lloyd youre a good lil mover.
Sept '24 🥳...was well into LC&C's when they hit the scene, seeing them live in Belfast during their first UK tour. So much good music and similar at the time, Smiths, House Martins, Pet Shop Boys, Big Country to name but a few...saw them all in Belfast. Unfortunately there were so many and it was so good, that LC&C's went off to the US where they were massive, and sadly never came back...btw...who remembers Hipsway!?...Big up the 80's ✨
I miss POP Music like that! Just feel Good Music without an Strange Attitude. This Stuff is Cool without even trying....I imagine driving in Italy in the Summer to this with a Family I don’t have! 😄✌️
Wonderful song, tremendous guitar work and superb lyrics.. does anybody else think that the young #LloydCole looks similar to a young #ElvisPresley ? I always have.. happy Sunday everyone.. #Peace.. #LloydColeAndTheCommotions 💛💙💛💙
This is the first of his songs I ever heard, and it got me. Later I bought Rattlesnakes, and it really is loaded with great material. It stand up to this day, in terms of song quality and also in terms of production- doesn't sound dated at all. Even more odd is this- I discovered him in the later 80s. In 2011 I moved from mainland Europe to Buxton, then later to Chapel, in England. It was then I learned he was actualy from there! Imagine being a fan of someone for years, then realising only much later that you have moved to his home town without even knowing it.
Such a great song. I remember it playing on the car radio of a teacher of mine when I fooled around with her in her car. I was seventeen and she was 26. I still felt like a champion, she had sworn me to secrecy so I couldn’t boast about it.
Se não me engano, esse foi o primeiro single do Lloyd Cole aqui no Brasil, em 1983.Fez muito sucesso nas rádios rock da época, como a 97 FM. A Kiss FM só existirá no final dos anos 1990. Valeu !
I’m just reading Lawrence Donegan’s book “No news at Throat Lake” and found out he wrote the music for this. He’s a very amusing writer of books if you’re interested.

Had the pleasure of meeting Lloyd Cole at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
Did he have an intelligence of certain kind?
This was a favourite song of my old pal Benny Harvey. RIP big man. Gone but not forgotten.
God bless.
May he Rest in Peace and Always Watch Over You ❤.

Well done. A good comment.

For such a small country they are way ahead of most country's in all departments. And if you need help in war, the British are brave.

We were just talking about how underrated he was.I was lucky to see an unplugged gig of his in Cape Town ten years ago.sixty here.
He was brilliant!
The eighties was by far the best decade for great bands and their songs. I'm 63 and still dancing! Donna
I'm 4, and I don't care.

Sorry to hear about your demons pal but good for you to sort your head out.
I still have a heroin habit since 1999

What an absolutely fantastic record.
Simon Goodall LC=GOD!
An absolute timeless classic. Impossible to write a song of that quality these days it seems.
...shame about your thumbnail tho 🙃
Man city sell out
After all these years I still love this song ❤️ Teenager in the 80’s - great memories! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Greetings from Australia 🦘🦘🦘
Me too
Hi from Scotland
It takes intelligence of a certain kind to write music like this, I can tell ye!!
Utterly without charm
What business has this man making music I do not know
Although he peaked in the early 80s.
As well as songs, he also knows Adobe Flash, self taught i understand.
@@sundrawing4329😂😂😂
Give me a time capsule and the 80's would be my destination! This is a classic example of how music should be done.

Genius insights. A band of such mysteries.
I think the greatest songwriters never achieve massive commercial success because their uniqueness makes them hard to sell.

One way to see things; "the Velvet Underground didn't sell many records, but everyone who bought one formed a band". And I'll bet a _lot_ of guys picked up a guitar and started a band because Lloyd Cole inspired them.
I was 24 when this was released. Still strong. Enjoy every second of this masterpiece.
I was a mere 20. Bought the single.
Lloyd, Martin Fry and Edwyn Collins embody that excellent tradition of literary "indie rock" or "post punk" pop.
@Breas1916 what about that overrated twerp?
So much great Scottish music from this era.
I remember this song when it came out ( i was young) but it wasn't until years later i realise just how damn good it is!
I believe he's a very likeable chap, not to mention a scratch golfer. He and his band made some of the most joyously ringing guitar music of the 80's
Excellent music from the good old days 😊
“Lost Weekend by Lloyd Cole and Commotions is one my favourite song of all time “
Listening to Lloyd Cole ...it takes me back to my youth memories
Whenever I hear this song I'm instantly transported to the teenage bedroom I shared with my older brother
Great band, loved them back in the day, still do!
Doesn't sound like a 35 year old record. Fresh, shiny and absolutely immortal.
Got to be the best preserved Scottish band of the 80s... along with 'The Jesus And Mary Chain'
Does it fuck
You're telling me 1:27 sounds good? Get yer fucking ears tested
@@Inexpressable "starve the ego, feed the soul" your bio says. I think you're doing the exact opposite. Attention seeking much?
@@dylano0126 you actually like Lloyd Cole. Yikes
Why do we never hear this guy on our radio, it’s just beautiful & makes me feel good, far more interesting than the rubbish they bang out today
His voice is so distinctive & he’s an amazing songwriter
I just heard this on BBC 6 Music. Probably the only radio it could come on!
Just heard this lovely song for the first time on BBC radio 2, Thursday 22nd of September
I heard it on Richie Allen's radio feed.
I've never heard it on the FM, though, which is a shame.
Absolute 80s Radio plays this 😊
Absolutely love Lloyd Coles music since I first heard him around 1990
This is a totally ace song. Lloyd Cole is a live wire at singing and his backing band The Commotions provide some really upbeat music. It’s hard to believe it’s come to thirty years since we were seeing out the eighties, of which Lost Weekend is part of.
Many, many lost weekends, since then. Love this.
Just so much fun.. fun happy times.. innocent video!!! Great music.. what’s not to like!!! Thankyou Lloyd Cole
A great weekend song from 1985. The 80ś was the best, so many memories
Damn right. Cand.y believe it was nearly forty years ago. What a time to be young.
Great song! Was a teenager in the 80's!🙂
I just got to say this mad thing that also needs acknowledging and thats the fact that Lloyd feels comfortable enough to dance,and on camera,which was a Bloody rare thing with blokes back in the day,it was so do rare to see a bloke really enjoy himself so good for you lloyd youre a good lil mover.
Pure genius. Even better live.
Another classic song from my youth. Brings some very nice memories back.
Thank you Lloyd Cole and the Commotions.
Stunningly written Song 🎵 ♥️
I can't get enough of Lloyd's vocals

Just feel good music that covers a good old heroin addiction, and all that entails.
@@OrangeCopperTop :) I totally would join your project....as the Joker!
The first single I ever bought, from Woolies with a record token.
Ah memories of Woolies record tokens for your birthday! Love it 😊
Wonderful song, tremendous guitar work and superb lyrics.. does anybody else think that the young #LloydCole looks similar to a young #ElvisPresley ? I always have.. happy Sunday everyone.. #Peace.. #LloydColeAndTheCommotions 💛💙💛💙
Well spotted..he does look like Elvis
jimmy carr, the stand up joke master.
Yes very like a young elvis
Yes well spotted
The pianoooo
style never goes out of style.
Great track. Sad but classic lyrics. Can't never stop loving this track. From eighties up until now.
..........AND in 2023!! Always loved this song the guitar riff is a real hook!! The honky tonk piano break in the middle 8, SEALS THE DEAL!!
I'm just commenting so that it is not one year since the last comment... WHAT A TUNE!!!
Amazing
I will always love this song,cant sit still😎🇧🇪👍🎧🔊
One of the most underrated artist of all time
no
Absolutely agree!
Unless your the one under the knife
musically i completely agree. just not sure about his sense/awareness towards things like self-irony. (?) (!?) (!)
it's better to be underrated than to be famous cos celebrity is shit
i have been searching for thjat sogn for 20 years i grew up as akid listening to it.i am 39 now
The best song still listed on Karaoke sometimes! Love singing this so much. 💯
I felt/feel cooler than i was/am just listening to this briliant wee song.
Respect to Lloyd for working “double pneumonia” into the opening lyric
Yes!! Always thought that was genius :)
Reminds me of my college days in good old Birmingham UK.
A great song I never even thought about until Peter Kay's Car Share. There were so many
Saw these guys at rewind weekend north 2016, brought the 80s flooding back, 18 again.
24 yrs to conclude in tears ... Yea!
Heard it on the radio the other day. Had forgotten all about it. It's brilliant 😁😁😁
Me too, Steve Wright I think, hadn’t heard it in decades
@@stevecoward3543that's the one
Love it.. Great words too 😊
Reminds me of the theme song to the old TV show "Mike & Angelo".
Lyod Cole and the Commotions: A very amazing band /unique lead singer / and great music. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Who the hell is Lyod?
Back in the day, I'd drive my "so called" mates daft constantly sticking this tune on the jukebox. ❤ it. Still do.
How this and Jennifer didn’t get to number 1 is beyond me. The tune ,the voice ,the guitar and the wonderful piano ,fanbloodytastic
Peter Kay 'Car Share' last night brought me here! Forgotten how good this is!
Same ,digging out the pressing (LP) right now.
Same here :-) heard it and had to find it.. a great track
Sandy Hewlett Same as! A hidden gem!! God bless Mr Kay :-)
Sick on a repotisios media

Brilliant Artist. Great song !!
Saw him live with just his guitar at G-Live 2 weeks ago today (13/09/24). Fkin Brilliant.
still love that song after all these years
Probably have to put this in my top 10 songs of all time.
I bought his first two albums and saw him live concert in Firenze, Italy. Good old days.
Thanks Carshare for reminding us of this classic!
Wow I found this song. I heard it as a kid. It’s awesome it’s played in my head for years. I love it
Thanks Car Share for reminding me of this! Ace.
Absolutely brilliant after all these years. One of my favourite bands
A brilliant song from one of my favourite ever albums.
2019 and sounds fresh as a daisy
2020 - the daisies are dead.
And the sickest thing, is the price of the NHS........
Such a great song. I remember it playing on the car radio of a teacher of mine when I fooled around with her in her car. I was seventeen and she was 26. I still felt like a champion, she had sworn me to secrecy so I couldn’t boast about it.
Wow, such a cool story 😂👌🏽👌🏽
Hope you got some help about this, this woman is a sex offender.
You broke your promise 😺🐈 naughty cub.
Stone cold hero! 👍

This is pure pop perfection. This is the pop song of my dreams.
Have you ever tried to play this song live? Have fun! It's just hard, in every possible way
Now this is a real happy pop song, you can sing along to it or dance to it....perfect. Love it.
Only found this a few month a go fantastic
Heard this waiting on Richie Allen's feed one day.
I'm so blessed to have discovered this absolute gem.
superb song
always reminds me of getting ready to go out
Layla and lola for me kept me legs these years :)
Great Lloyd and the commistione!!
Great guitar lick
First video I ever saw on a pub video jukebox - magic
They were excellent live..
And luckily they still are! I saw them last month and they were great.
Love the video slapstick ..
Brilliant song and lyrics
Trascinante
I love so much. Merci pour cette chanson!
Such a feelgoodsong!!!😀👍🌴😀
Overcoming addiction surely does feel good!
2020 and still sounds amazing.
Such a jolly song
It's great to see Lloyd Cole here again ❤️❤️😃😃
I’m just reading Lawrence Donegan’s book “No news at Throat Lake” and found out he wrote the music for this.
He’s a very amusing writer of books if you’re interested.
Mr Cole played at a friends house recently to a kitchen full of people. He was chatty, entertaining and brilliant.
That would have been brilliant 🦘🦘🦘
Still superb in 2021!
Reminds me of my lost weekend in Amsterdam with my hubby what a ball
Brilliant listening in August 2020
Essa banda coloriu minha adolescência aqui no Brasil 😊
absolutely fucking love this song!
