Off LCD Soundsystem's eponymous debut, "Never as Tired as When I'm Waking Up" plays very much like the meeting point of "Dear Prudence" and "I'm So Tired," both of which appear on The White Album and belong to John. The song's progression, chorus, and concluding build-up all point to "Prudence," while its phlegmatic atmosphere and salty subject matter seem the heirs of "Tired." At various moments in his career, James Murphy, the man behind LCD Soundsystem, has shown himself to be adept at John Lennon mode. On this song, he nails it.
