Lyrics of 'The Writing of Fragments of Time (feat. Todd Edwards)' by Daft Punk

Keep building those

Keep building those, yeah

Keep building random mem—

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
Fragments of time

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

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 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

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

Yes, exactly! Exactly!

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, exactly
Yeah, exactly, and plus, the idea is that you can even, y
Ou know, for the second verse kinda sing it like this, but change some of it
Like you know, improvise like, [humming melody]

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

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

Or 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

Yeah, but I swear, 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

Yeah
