Keep building those
Keep building those, yeah
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
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
Thomas Bangalter & Todd Edwards:
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, you 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
