Daft Punk ft. Todd Edwards - The Writing of Fragments of Time Lyrics

Keep building those

Keep building those, yeah

Random memories

So you know this song is about todd coming here and making the song
And working with us I would never leave, keep building these random memories

Good, we're almost there that's this part
I knew the beginning was the hardest part it was like working with it

Never leave, keep building these random memories, oh

'Cause wait, that's the thing, "since I can't"
It's gonna be like, something about it having to stop
The way I'll get around that is by going back to these

Fragments of time

Yes, yes exactly these fragments, that's how it's going to be

These fragments of time

I just keep playing back these fragments of time

Fragments of time

Wait Do me a favor, I don't mean to cut you because we're almost
I just wanna hear the, before the "way"
I don't ever want it to end
If I had my way, I would never leave
Keep building these random memories
Before it's too late
Okay, so that's the part, I have to just remember that
Okay, alright, so, um, so the thing of it is "I can't stay"
But it's like the whole concept is "I can't stay"

But it comes to end, but since everything comes
Since everything
I don't know if it's you that "can't stay"

I know, but
And I don't ever want it to end

If I had my way, I would never leave
Keep building these random memories

Since I can't stay

Do you think the line should, I think this will be a good thing
Should the line reflect that it can't stay the same?
Like in other words, I wish that it could always remain today, like type of thing?
Like should it be that? Like that might help in writing it, like in other words, you know

Keep building these random memories
Turning your days into melodies

That's so sweet that this is

But since I can't stay

Turning our days into melodies
Okay

If I had my way, I would never leave
Keep building these memories
Turning our days into melodies
But since I can't stay

Woohoo

If I had my way, I would never leave
Keep building these memories
Turning our days into melodies
But since I can't stay

I think sometime the hard thing is just finding the melody
And now we have the melody for the second part of the verse
Which can just like write another thing

Yeah, exactly exactly

Maybe if we do that, it just becomes 2 verse or if we
Or if we, really struggle it can just become the second verse more like a backup plan, y'know?

Exactly and plus
The idea is that you can even, you know
For the second verse kinda sing it like this
But change some of it like you know, improvise like

But if there's no way, you can just play that

Yeah, yeah exactly whatever the case, we'll find a breakthrough

Yeah, yeah, I agree, let's imagine that we do

There's so many, so many possibilities for it to be rhymed easily
Faces I've never seen

Fantasy? We're doing that in another song

I didn't say "fantasy", I said faces I've seen in dreams

Oh, you didn't? Oh

In other words

Oh, "familiar faces I've never seen?" Instead of doing
Instead of doing "unfamiliar faces" that feels like it's still
Familiar faces I've never seen, you know?

I love it, that's so crazy

Familiar faces I've never seen

That's good, right?

In my memories, I found my dream
Or like?

Familiar faces I've never seen

Oh my god, that's such a beautiful line familiar faces I've never seen, I love it

Familiar faces I've never seen

Feeling this straight

Out of a dream

Like you know, a half-remembered dream, or something

There's something like that in "touch", he said that

Oh really? That's crazy I did not, I didn't even pick that up

A half-remembered song, yeah that's exciting me

No but like that just came up that connection is just like, it's crazy

Seen and dream, that's cool too dream, been a dream within a dream
That's in "touch" too yeah there's the word "dream" everywhere

Yeah and that's fine it kinda has a connection, like the congruency, yeah

That "familiar faces" line, man, that's hot to be able to express something so great
And, like, it's almost like a haiku, you know what I mean?
You only have a few syllables to say something and it's like

Familiar faces I've never seen but yeah,
That's totally my alley of California vibes, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Familiar faces I've never seen

You know, I'm actually, there's some parts I'm getting choked up
Because it's so damn emotional just putting these 3 weeks into words
It's really intense, actually I've never felt anything like this before

Yeah, now every time you hear this song, you're gonna

Yeah, seriously, it's insane

It's capturing it, it's making it forever

Yeah
