Giorgio by Moroder Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

How did the collaboration with Giorgio Moroder happen?
Genius Answer

One day I got a call here in town, they wanted to meet for lunch and I said: “Okay I come, but under the condition I can take my son with me”. So I said [to my son]: “Okay, you come and have lunch with them but don’t tell anybody how they look”. No helmets. They asked me if I wanted to work on their album and I said yes.
At that time I was living in Paris and Thomas called me to come to the studio and work on a song. So happy, I thought “Okay, I work with Daft Punk, I [can] start to play piano, sing and we compose a song” and they said: “No, let us do the music, you just talk and tell the story of your life”.

They had three microphones, and I asked the engineer why, he said: “The microphone on the left is from the ‘50s, so when you talk about your life in Italy, they’re recording with that mic”. Then they had a microphone from the '70s, “That’s when you tell the story about the '70s”; and then they had a new one, which I didn’t know, “That’s if you talk about the future!”.
So I said: “This is great but… who would ever know the difference?”
