[Speaking, singing] Todd Edwards: Keep building those Thomas Bangalter: Keep building those, yeah Todd Edwards: Keep building random mem— Thomas Bangalter: 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 Todd Edwards: Good, we're almost there. That's this part, I knew the beginning was the hardest part! It was like working with it Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: Never leave, keep building these random memories, oh Todd Edwards: '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 Thomas Bangalter: Fragments of time Todd Edwards: Yes, yes exactly. These fragments, that's how it's going to be Thomas Bangalter: These fragments of time [Both humming "Fragments of Time" melody] Thomas Bangalter: I just keep playing back these fragments of time You might also like Fragments of Time Daft Punk Taco Truck x VB Lana Del Rey Fingertips Lana Del Rey Todd Edwards: Fragments of time Thomas Bangalter: Fragments of time Todd Edwards: 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 just have to 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" Thomas Bangalter: But it comes to end, but since everything comes Since everything I don't know if it's you that "can't stay" Todd Edwards: I know, but And I don't ever want it to end Thomas Bangalter: If I had my way, I would never leave Keep building these random memories Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: Since I can't stay Todd Edwards: Do you think the line should, I think this will be a good thing Should the line reflect that things 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 Thomas Bangalter: Keep building these random memories Turning your days into melodies Todd Edwards: That's so sweet! That this is— Thomas Bangalter: But since I can't stay Todd Edwards: Turning our days into melodies Okay Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: If I had my way, I would never leave Keep building these memories Turning our days into melodies But since I can't stay Todd Edwards: Woohoo! Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: If I had my way, I would never leave Keep building these memories Turning our days into melodies But since I can't stay Thomas Bangalter: 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 Todd Edwards: Yes, exactly! Exactly! Thomas Bangalter: 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? Todd Edwards: Exactly, exactly. Yeah, 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. [humming melody] Thomas Bangalter: But if there's no way, you can just play that Todd Edwards: Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Whatever the case, we'll find a breakthrough Thomas Bangalter: Yeah, yeah, I agree, let's imagine that we do [Todd Edwards humming] Todd Edwards: There's so many, so many possibilities for it to be rhymed easily Faces I've never seen Thomas Bangalter: Fantasy? We're doing that in another song Todd Edwards: I didn't say "fantasy", I said faces I've seen in dreams Thomas Bangalter: Oh, you didn't? Oh Todd Edwards: In other words Thomas Bangalter: 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? Todd Edwards: I love it, that's so crazy Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: Faces I've never seen Thomas Bangalter: That's good, right? Todd Edwards: In my memories, I found my dream Or like? Thomas Bangalter: Familiar faces I've never seen Todd Edwards: Oh my god, that's such a beautiful line. Familiar faces I've never seen, I love it! Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: Familiar faces I've never seen Thomas Bangalter: Feeling this straight Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards: Out of a dream Todd Edwards: Or you know, a half-remembered dream, or something Thomas Bangalter: There's something like that in "Touch", he said that Todd Edwards: Oh really? That's crazy. I did not, I didn't even pick that up Thomas Bangalter: A half-remembered song, yeah. That's exciting me Todd Edwards: Yeah, but I swear, but like that just came up. That connection is just like, it's crazy Thomas Bangalter: 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! Todd Edwards: Yeah and that's fine! It kinda has a connection, like the congruency, yeah! Todd Edwards: 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 Thomas Bangalter: Familiar faces I've never seen. But yeah, that's totally my alley of California vibes, you know? Todd Edwards: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Thomas Bangalter: Familiar faces I've never seen Todd Edwards: 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 Unknown voice: Yeah, now every time you hear this song, you're gonna Todd Edwards: Yeah, seriously, it's insane Unknown voice: It's capturing it, it's making it forever! Todd Edwards: Yeah Source: https://genius.com/Daft-punk-the-writing-of-fragments-of-time-lyrics
