136. "I Can Change" by LCD Soundsystem

Pure-MTV synths. So dancey. But a dance song with a front-and-center singing melody, asking listeners to move to the music and simultaneously listen to the singer unfurl a long thought process about a collapsing marriage and the identity challenges long-term commitments serve to their participants.

It's LCD Soundsystem!

There is nothing better for long drives than LCD Soundsysetm albums - with their long-developing, trance-prone structures. Between these epic treks live culled pop gems like "I Can Change" that work like interludes. The band's final album, Is This Happening, is the best at this, with only two songs of ten clocking in at less than six minutes. At 5:56, "I Can Change" counts as one of those more focused pop moments.
