LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
This is a song about that slow, sinking feeling you get when you receive bad news; that dreaded moment when the phone rings at an unnatural hour. Although the lyrics and melody seem rather casual (and even upbeat) at first, that ominous, Joy Division-esque warble of the bass synth keeps pounding home the reality of the situation until it finally sinks in. Only then does the song begin to lift off, capturing the feeling and paying tribute to that certain someone, suddenly gone.
