    Lyrics:
    I wish that we could talk about it
    But there, that's the problem
    With someone new, I couldn't start it
    Too late for beginnings
    The little things that made me nervous
    Are gone in a moment
    I miss the way we used to argue
    Locked in your basement
    I wake up and the phone is ringing
    Surprised, as it's early
    And that should be a perfect warning
    That something's a problem
    To tell the truth, I saw it coming
    The way you were breathing
    But nothing can prepare you for it
    The voice on the other end
    The worst is all the lovely weather
    I'm stunned it's not raining
    The coffee isn't even bitter
    Because what's the difference?
    There's all the work that needs to be done
    It's late for revision
    There's all the time and all the planning
    And songs to be finished
    And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops
    And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops
    And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops
    I wish that we could talk about it
    But there, that's the problem
    With someone new, I couldn't start it
    Too late for beginnings
    You're smaller than my wife imagined
    Surprised you were human
    There shouldn't be this radio silence
    But what are the options?
    When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
    When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
    When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
    When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
    We're safe for the moment
    Saved for the moment

    Found out my dad passed away this morning. Nothing was wrong, he just didn't wake up. I took him to see LCD Soundsystem in 2010, it was the first time I saw him let loose and dance (to Drunk Girls I think). We shared tons of music, Sunday morning runs, afternoons reading Calvin and Hobbes together, and that won't happen again. It's gorgeous outside today, the coffee tastes the same. It's fucked to thing that despite what happened today, things will indeed just keep coming until the day it stops.

    I read on "song meanings" online that presumably this song was written in regard to the singer's therapist, who used to have group therapy sessions in his basement; the singer had thought highly of him, and one day he had passed away...

    • @AxiomaticArt
      @AxiomaticArt 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      From the lyrics alone, I felt that the song was about losing his wife in childbirth. That tragic and beautiful interpretation is what I want to keep in my mind.
      "You're smaller than my wife imagined."

    • @loljustice31
      @loljustice31 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Ujjwal Das Gupta It wouldn't make sense for it to be about losing his wife in childbirth. When you say you think he was speaking to the baby when he says "you're smaller than my wife imagined," that would require for the "you" in the entire rest of the song to be directed at the baby, but it it's clearly directed at an adult (whom according to you is probably the wife). The speaker doesn't change who "you" is throughout the lyrics.
      Anyway, in general your interpretation sounds to me more like the sort of drama that women like to create angsty stories about (if any story is ever about women, then it's about their bodies in some way, pregnancy, babies, rape, victimization, childbirth, or something like that). As a woman I'm just so disappointed that women always seem to have these sorts of fantasies that only serve to cement all the stereotypes about women in society: a woman is supposedly always important first and foremost for her body, and specifically her role as a sex object or baby factory. You don't get to put yourself in that role and then cry about the way society perceives us as a gender.

    • @AxiomaticArt
      @AxiomaticArt 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Yeah, my interpretation does require two different contexts for the word "you", but that's how I naturally heard the song :) I guess that is the thing about good art, it can mean different things to different people.

    One morning I woke up spontaneously at about 7 AM with this song in my head. I hadn't heard it in a couple of months. I just thought it was curious. At some point that day, the news reported that the first female prime minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, had been assassinated. She was a huge hero of mine (even a fellow American University graduate). They gave the time in Pakistan that it happened. Something started bugging me about it, so I checked the Pakistan time zone against US EST time.
    She was killed at about the time I woke up with "When Someone Great is Gone" in my head.
    Just sayin'.

      +Gene Pozniak Its amazing how most westerners think of her in a positive light, while most Pakistanis do not.

      Bilal Khan During her first Prime Ministership, the evil Zia al Haq really controlled the country. She did not yet have the experience to take control. When she came back, the nearly as evil Mushareff fought her every step of the way because he knew she was going to push to dismantle the old corruption he fed on. I've studied this quite closely. And who in Pakistan now is not corrupt?

We were talking about backward clothes and just remembering the good times, and then the next day we learned that Chris Kelly had died.

He was larger than life when I was a boy, as I aged I saw all the imperfections starting to show but I loved him more for it. Despite having the spirit of a fighter he was reduced to a fraction of his hulking past self by the time he passed. Life does go on, but as I grow older myself nothing is truer than The Son becomes the Father. And the Father becomes the Son.

      It's now 8 years since I wrote this original comment. Looking back now I do see how this song and video holds up as a testament to that time and place. The styles, the type of parties, the apartment, the reflective and emotional tone of the song. I can't speak for everyone else who was there but I know for myself I moved to this new and fascinating place not knowing anyone and with an ambition. We were out there young, alone and in pursuit of something in this urban jungle with millions of others. We depended on each other for help in the careers we were pursuing and to create new social circles. I can only speak for myself but I'm sure many us found "someone great."

    My kitten died suddenly while playing last night. Just a little cat, but a bright spot in dark times. This song got stuck in my head pretty quickly. It did in 2019 when a (human) friend died, also very suddenly, also way too young. Reading the comments, I'm not alone in using this to process. RIP everybody's loved ones. Take care of yourselves.

    We all have "someone great" sometimes many "someones", and the world keeps turning, but our world stops.
    We also need to stop.
    Then take some bottles of water and healthy snacks, go to bed, and stay there until we feel like getting up. That day will come.
    It is healthy and healing to ride out the storm which rages in our souls, in the brokenness of our hearts, and in the chaos of our thoughts and feelings.
    Peace will arrive one day.
    I am living proof of it.

Yearning. Because I yearn for the feelings I felt then. Joy, because it’s damn catchy and moves fast, the beat driving itself straight into my cranium. And hope. I feel hope when I hear it. A better day awaiting, somehow someway, when we will all dance again and laugh and pass a joint without any cares on a rooftop somewhere with a warm breeze blowing.

    I'm currently interning for a psychological clinic. And we recently had a deep dive into the clinic's consent forms. There was a provision there regarding client's records should the original therapist/psychologist became incapacitated in any form... This song immediately came into mind. While the clinic document was very blunt about it, this song made it (death) more real, and scary in a way. I hope that relationships/alliances, even those prematurely terminated, does not bring down but instead open up both parties to healing, growth, and transcendence.

    Why is it pitch shifted from the original recording?

      Neel 2000 possibly copyright reasons

      But parlophone owns the rights of the recording. It's their label.

      Neel 2000 maybe to shorten the song for the music video, not sure. I think it's shortened or sped up because original song is 6 mins this is almost 4
