@@huesos_azules you better Google it. I grew up in 80s and i have this song on a vinyl record. I found it on iTunes as well. Maybe you should change Your view of life. Cause you didnt find it doesnt mean that it dont excist.
@@huesos_azules you are obviously confused. The song is no 10 on Lloyd Coles album Rattlesnakes, from 1984.

So go on with Your own theories, but Keep me and Lloyd Cole out of it. Case closed.
it's cuz they recently released a new album and probably their label agent whoever started investing money in promoting their music again so fresh clicks having chain effect boosting all their other stuff. yours truly, (algorithms spokesman)
It's 7pm on a Saturday night. The world is out having fun and getting ready to start their night. Meanwhile, I'm stuck at a Kroger working even after having already worked for 10 hours and my shift ends at 11pm. And even though in the moment I feel miserable, this song is playing, and life is actually great. Good times
this song is everything a song should be. uplifting, nostalgic, bittersweet, with a beautiful string section and wonderful musicianship. and a gorgeous 60s-inspired music video to boot!! so lucky to have discovered this gem.
she's dressed like me in middle school. I might've had that exact shade green dress-code polo. anyway, please play this at my funeral. there was a period last year where i didn't listen to anything but this song. it makes me really happy.
Just like the Pooh Sticks, I've got all the original Camera Obscura albums... ON TAPE!!! All the Sarah Records 7" singles too, on tape! The jingle jangle twee children of The Smiths and the C86 cassette are lovely... and thanks to Spotify, easily accessible world wide. Hopefully more people will discover Flying Nun Records (New Zealand) and their lovely post-punk jangle pop sounds (the Clean, the Chills, Bored Games, Straitjacket Fits, Verlaines, Able Tasmans, Tall Dwarfs, Chris Knox)
i discovered this song before i discovered lloyd cole, so you can imagine my utter JOY and shock when my brain made the connection all of a sudden after listening to “are you ready to be heartbroken?”... omg :’)
Thank you PS I Love You for introducing me to this beautiful song. I remembered being 21 and doing my internship at The New Straits Time a reputable newspaper company and walking to the monorail station after work and listening to this song…That was 10 years ago. My god, how time flies.
Saw them in 09. Most humble band I’ve ever seen live. There was a no photography policy at the venue and the band made a point to make an amendment to the rules for the night. When I was leaving I saw them on their tour bus, and right before they closed the door I noticed they had a full bar on board. 🎉
This song means a lot for me in my early 20s childhood. These days as an aged hipster lady, this video describes how gleeful I feel when I go into a Jo-Ann Fabrics with lots of interesting fabrics to pick from.
I just LOVE this tune = remember hearing it for the first time when I first moved to Brandon Florida on WMNF statation (community radio) , Love her sad look - it's a very lively tune yet sad.....

I've had this tune on my iphone music for the longest time..and Lloyd Coles' Perfect skin is now Jangling in my head because I'm just now finding out the reference.. always had the emo feelies in my heart when I heard this, now much more poignant to know she's no longer with us?...
I bought this album immediately after hearing this song in the opening titles of P. S. I Love You, loved the entire album... was reminded of the band name while watching something related to Queen Elizabeth funeral... hadn't listened to it in years... fell right back in love with it, today, but with sadness that the lead singer died in 2015. Very underrated, someone else said elsewhere. Underrated indeed.
Got some good and bad news for you.Traceyanne Campbell (the singer) is very much alive,see Traceyanne And Danny.However the bad news is Carey Lander ,keyboards, did indeed pass away in 2015.
TH-cam not recommending "Lloyd I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" by Camera Obscura in the sidebar for the video for "Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions is a HUGE fail on the part of the algorithm.
[Verse 1] He said, 'I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels', yet Said he's feeling sorrier for me The more I behave badly, I can bet. [Chorus] Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken 'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment. (x2) [Verse 2] And jealousy is more than a word, now I understand. You can't stay a girl while holding a boy’s hand. [Chorus] Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken 'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment. (x2) [Bridge] I've got my life of complication here to sort out. I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about. [Chorus] Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken 'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken 'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment. (x3) At this moment.
@@ryang7759 My best friend that showed me this band died shortly after I wrote that comment. My life has been a shit show since then, heavy drug use, suicidal tendencies and depression beyond what I thought was possible. Feeling better lately though, everything seems, real. To real actually, sometimes I wish I could turn back time and be 21 forever. Lol.. God thats cliche. But then again so is the world at the moment. It's a parody of itself in every imaginable way. No money, and no love. I gave up on both.
@@MrMOON-pp5ib sorry to hear you've been down on your luck bro. I've battled with substance use and depression myself. been suicidal and hospitalized even. I've managed to get the substances under control for the most part but depression is a fucking beast. recently lost a friend to suicide too. life's really been shit kicking some of us hey? if I figure out the cure, I'll let you know. God bless
I loved riding my bicycle this past summer and blaring this song on my Bose speaker it just put me in a special mood and a classic time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Whenever I hear this song it takes me right to the days when I started growing mushrooms and seeing the fruits of my labor. This song and that event are intertwined. I have always loved a good pop song, like There She Goes or the Cure's Friday I'm In Love. This is right up there.

Funfact: This song is her answer to Lloyd Coles song from 1984: Are you ready to get heartbroken. He was humble when she informed him about it.
I didn´t know that man, thanks for the info.
uhmm actually this information is false, lloyd cole and the commotions have no song by such name

Same here.

I wonder if this song alludes to Lloyd Cole and the Commotions 'Are you ready to be heartbroken"? th-cam.com/video/h2Jb2Qeeuks/w-d-xo.html
I just discovered this song in 2020. While in quarantine. How could I have missed this song for 14 years?! Love it so much!
Me too!!! I love the memories that flood my mind hearing it!!! 💕
so good to hear others are still finding it!!
you are late to the party but the party ain't over yet.
Have a listen to all the other tracks, they are all superb. This was the first one I heard about 8 years ago. Enjoy :) :)
I remember when it came out, sucha beautiful time of my life.
I am enjoying this beautiful song today on 30/12/2023
The first one I heard was in 2013.
this song is everything a song should be. uplifting, nostalgic, bittersweet, with a beautiful string section and wonderful musicianship. and a gorgeous 60s-inspired music video to boot!! so lucky to have discovered this gem.
This comment Is everything a comment should be.. Thanks!
I concur!!! GREAT TUNE!!!
she's dressed like me in middle school. I might've had that exact shade green dress-code polo.
anyway, please play this at my funeral. there was a period last year where i didn't listen to anything but this song. it makes me really happy.
Draft a living will! Otherwise, make sure I get an invite to your funeral (hopefully forever from now) so I can make sure Lloyd makes an appearance.
R.I.P. Carey, i will miss you forever dear.
I see your 4 year old comment at the top and shed a tear.
has it really been that long already? :(
😢
12 years and its authenticity still holds up...such a mixture of so many different artists...I hear the Smith's, the Sundays..
I know the whole album by heart. Used to listen to it on repeat back in 2009/2010. Nostalgia goosebumps kicking in now
St. Etienne.
And of course Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, whose song this answers!
Yes
The Heart Throbs.
probably the catchiest song of the last 30 plus years ..... still come back to it since i first heard it all those years ago
This is a nod to Lloyd Cole’s song “Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?”
Doh!
Ode *
No shit. And Lloyd approved. Time flies, and Glasgow was the capital of heart disease. Cancer is brutal and unforgiving. Fried Mars bars.
Sometimes there are songs which are so fantastic there's no logical reason for them not being huge. The Mayor Of Simpleton by XTC is another one.
I just found an original pressing vinyl of this record and it's a holy grail I love it so much, brilliant.
Just like the Pooh Sticks, I've got all the original Camera Obscura albums... ON TAPE!!! All the Sarah Records 7" singles too, on tape!

See it was the opposite for me
me too

When I was leaving I saw them on their tour bus, and right before they closed the door I noticed they had a full bar on board. 🎉
I saw C.O. in Pomona California in 2008. The singer said she was pissed drunk.
This song, working in retail in Dallas Texas, changed my life and musical career.
Where has this band been all my life? This is the second song I've listen to, and I already know I will love just about every one they'd record.
this video reminds me so much of the dance sequence in the beginning of Mulholland Drive
THIS
Tracyanne is an amazing lyricist. The guy above comparing this song to the Smiths is dead on. Never realized it until it was said.
This song means a lot for me in my early 20s childhood. These days as an aged hipster lady, this video describes how gleeful I feel when I go into a Jo-Ann Fabrics with lots of interesting fabrics to pick from.
Doesent it feel weird to think idie kids are grown ups now? Its like irony at its finest a true hipster portal
I dare say this is one of the most enchanting songs ever composed.
❤
I'm not crying, you're crying.
I just LOVE this tune = remember hearing it for the first time when I first moved to Brandon Florida on WMNF statation (community radio) , Love her sad look - it's a very lively tune yet sad.....
Absolutely Love this group!!!!
Saw them well over a decade ago in small venue in Madrid! How times have changed.
Brings you down, in a good way
Tracyanne definitely has an incredible and distinctively rich voice
shoutout to the film P.S. I love you for introducing me to this song back when i was a kid ☺
I Love Camera Obscura, this song and "if looks could kill" are the best!!!
Should have been massive
Perfect pop music 🎶😎
It's easy to forget, with time passing so quickly, how long Tracyanne has been the coolest indie chick in the world.
Hope Lloyd digs this homage. Fascinating.
He does, he asked Tracyanne for an instrumental copy to be playing when he went onstage
He does. He tried to get his underage children into a show by Camera Obscura in Boston, but of course, they turned everyone away
Best response song of all time.
Pop perfection indeed! 😎🎼👌🔥
Anyone in 2021 ?? I love this song ❤️
Sempre revisitando! ✌🏻🇧🇷
11 years after still sooo good
Just at 2:24, there is this shift in the music. Can't explain, but totally love it!
Brilliantly spotted! It was a momentary change into a minor key!
I wasn't ready to be heartbroken
You are right
Oh it's so good to be young and madly in love ...
Such a gem of a song . . Underated
I love this, especially Tracyanne's Debbie Downer impersonation.
7 years ago I discovered this song and always return here to listen when I'm sad for love
lol I kept hearing this song at work
Lunatula meee toooo
I always hear shit at work
Where do they play this at?
I heard this playing in a hardware store in Kansas.
Oh my god where has this song been all of my life?
Love this ❤❤❤❤❤

Hypnotic, addictive
Maravillosa canción de un exquisito grupo en respuesta a la famosa "Are you ready to be heartbroken" de Lloyd Cole..... qué nivelazo de pop atemporal.
Still awesome 🤩🔥
I saw them live a couple of times - they were awesome!

Yes... and throw in Dolores O' Riordan of the Cranberries.. she's not with us, either and her song Linger gets me in the emo feelies too..

Lloyd Cole is one of the best least known artists all-time so this is nice

Discovered this band wayback 2018, and really love this band!!

Beautiful ....forever.
Tune!
My favourite elefant records band
Thank you for this absolute beauty of a song.
4 years without her today ;(
Good God this is a fine tune, and perfectly conceived video.
I just discovered this band just recently because I heard ALVVAYS performing that song live on a TH-cam video and really liked the song.
This song reminds me of Alvvays song " Marry me Archie" ❤️
I meant Archie Marry Me, 🤪
These guys were so underrated. Great sound.
[Verse 1]
He said, 'I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels', yet
Said he's feeling sorrier for me
The more I behave badly, I can bet.
[Chorus]
Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment. (x2)
[Verse 2]
And jealousy is more than a word, now I understand.
You can't stay a girl while holding a boy’s hand.
[Chorus]
Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment. (x2)
[Bridge]
I've got my life of complication here to sort out.
I'll take myself to an east coast city and walk about.

Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment
Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment. (x3)
At this moment.
