While We're Young (2015)
April 17, 2015 - “I’m losing my edge,” intones James Murphy in LCD Soundsystem’s 2002 breakout single. The stuttering bass line behind his voice provokes anxiety and defiance.
“I’m losing my edge / to better looking people / with better ideas / and more talent ... / and who are actually really, really nice.” As the bass, drums and synth get louder, Murphy digs in his heels deeper, refusing to concede even an inch to those young folks who are quickly creeping up from behind.
