[00:01.158] Keep building those
[00:02.414] Keep building those, yeah
[00:09.780] 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
[00:25.492] Good, we're almost there. That's this part, I knew the beginning was the hardest part! It was like working with it
[00:34.830] Never leave, keep building these random memories, oh
[00:42.694] '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
[00:53.233] Fragments of time
[00:53.302] Yes, yes exactly. These fragments, that's how it's going to be
[01:05.550] These fragments of time
[01:15.871] I just keep playing back these fragments of time
[01:25.752] Do me a favor, I don't mean to cut you because we're almost. I just wanna hear the, before the "way"
[01:48.743] I don't ever want it to end
[01:51.160] If I had my way, I would never leave
[01:54.616] Keep building these random memories
[01:57.417] Before it's too late
[02:00.413] Okay, so that's the part, I just have to remember that
[02:07.252] 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"
[02:19.667] But it comes to end, but since everything comes
[02:22.483] Since everything
[02:34.263] I don't know if it's you that "can't stay"
[02:33.923]
[02:35.799] I know, but
[02:55.130] And I don't ever want it to end
[02:57.440] If I had my way, I would never leave
[03:01.243] Keep building these random memories
[03:07.506] Since I can't stay
[03:05.601]
[03:21.300] Do you think the line should, I think this will be a good thing
[03:24.680] 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
[03:45.627] Keep building these random memories
[03:49.376] Turning your days into melodies
[03:50.223] That's so sweet! That this is—
[03:52.245] But since I can't stay
[03:53.395] Turning our days into melodies
[03:55.521] Okay
[03:56.285]
[03:56.463] Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards:
[03:56.305] If I had my way, I would never leave
[03:59.906] Keep building these memories
[04:03.640] Turning our days into melodies
[04:06.914] But since I can't stay
[04:09.180] Woohoo!
[04:11.373] If I had my way, I would never leave
[04:14.805] Keep building these memories
[04:18.558] Turning our days into melodies
[04:21.716] But since I can't stay
[04:23.938] I think sometime the hard thing is just finding the melody
[04:28.949] And now we have the melody for the second part of the verse, which can just like write another thing
[04:33.332] Yes, exactly! Exactly!
[04:35.007] 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?
[04:44.594] 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]
[04:58.547] But if there's no way, you can just play that
[05:01.792] Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Whatever the case, we'll find a breakthrough
[05:12.960] Yeah, yeah, I agree, let's imagine that we do
[05:24.164] There's so many, so many possibilities for it to be rhymed easily
[05:33.398] Faces I've never seen
[05:34.373] Fantasy? We're doing that in another song
[05:37.609] I didn't say "fantasy", I said faces I've seen in dreams
[05:37.649]
[05:38.105] Oh, you didn't? Oh
[05:43.908] In other words
[05:49.998] 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?
[06:02.152] I love it, that's so crazy
[06:05.300] Faces I've never seen
[06:08.614] That's good, right?
[06:09.767] In my memories, I found my dream
[06:12.091] Or like?
[06:12.819] Familiar faces I've never seen
[06:17.462] Oh my god, that's such a beautiful line. Familiar faces I've never seen, I love it!
[06:24.220] Familiar faces I've never seen
[06:27.746] Feeling this straight
[06:28.993] Out of a dream
[06:30.383] Or you know, a half-remembered dream, or something
[06:33.399] There's something like that in "Touch", he said that
[06:35.462] Oh really? That's crazy. I did not, I didn't even pick that up
[06:38.252] A half-remembered song, yeah. That's exciting me
[06:43.534] Yeah, but I swear, but like that just came up. That connection is just like, it's crazy
[06:49.624] 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!
[06:58.779] Yeah and that's fine! It kinda has a connection, like the congruency, yeah!
[07:12.828] 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
[07:25.436] Familiar faces I've never seen. But yeah, that's totally my alley of California vibes, you know?
[07:29.490] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[07:37.766] Familiar faces I've never seen
[07:45.511] 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
[07:54.270] Yeah, now every time you hear this song, you're gonna
[07:57.916] Yeah, seriously, it's insane
[07:59.141] It's capturing it, it's making it forever!
[08:01.564] Yeah
