I wish that we could talk about it,

The little things that made me harassed,

I miss the way we used to argue,

I wake up and the phone is ringing,

To tell the truth I saw it coming,

The way, you were breathing.

It's late, for revision.

And songs, to be finished.

When someone great is gone.

About this song: Someone Great

"Someone Great" is the third single from LCD Soundsystem's critically acclaimed second album Sound of Silver. The single was released on October 22, 2007 in the UK. The music video is directed by Doug Aitken. The song itself is about loss, although the lyrics (and video) make it unclear as to whether it's regarding a death or the end of a romantic relationship. One theory is that it is about the birth of a stillborn child:
