Get Lucky was released I was not impressed. I
love Daft Punk and I really like Pharrell too but I just didn’t (I still don’t) find that song very exceptional. In fact, I was so disappointed that I didn’t bother listening to Random Access Memories, I was also incredibly busy. I had a few hardcore Daft Punk fans in the class I was teaching at the time. They tried to persuade me, according to them, the new album was, “so, SO, awesome!” I foolishly didn’t listen to them, but those kids were right. I decided to listen to the album while working on the images for this post and… wow, some of the songs are brilliant. I guess I’ve been missing out. I am currently swamped with tasks to complete so I’m going to stop typing pointless rambles and instead use Daft Punk’s lyrics to convey my divided thoughts.
I didn’t want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I’d never regret
I listened to your problems, now listen to mine
we will never be alone again
he thought he saw someone that looked just like me
there’s a world within me that I cannot explain
many rooms to explore, but the doors look the same
I am lost, I can’t even remember my name
when you decided to walk away, when I wanted you to stay
