Hey Bfa look I'm talking about Daft Punk


So let's talk about the lyrics of the Daft Punk song Get Lucky. First though, fun fact: punk band Versailles broke up in 1993. Two of its members became Daft Punk. The other four are the French alternative rock band known as Phoenix.

 

Like the legend of the Phoenix

 

The story of the Phoenix, or the story of the band formed of members of Daft Punk's old band.

 

Our ends were beginnings

 

Out of the end of Versailles, came the beginnings of both Phoenix and Daft Punk.

 

What keeps the planet spinning/the force from the beginning

 

The same creative influences and desires that influenced them in Versailles still influences their separate bands, and keeps their musical worlds spinning.

 

We've come too far/to give up who we are

 

In spite of becoming the gigantic megahit that Daft Punk is, they still maintain their connection to their roots and who they were before becoming techno music robots, as evidenced by performing along with Phoenix on occasion.

 

I'd go further, but I'm tired.

 

An at-first lighthearted song about clubbing is in-fact about the history of Daft Punk. Either that, or I'm overtired since it's 3 AM and I'm overthinking this. Probably the latter. The fact that all I've had to eat today has been two slices of pizza and a fortune cookie probably doesn't help either.

Oh wow. Okay, gotta admit, never knew much about Phoenix's origins along with Daft Punk's, that's a pretty cool thing. =O

that's not quite what I've always heard, and it's not what I'm finding online right now either. the band was called Darlin', Versailles was their hometown, and only one member of Phoenix - guitarist Laurent Brancowitz - was in it, not all four.

To be fair, from what I've just looked up, Darlin' only had three members. Two went to Daft Punk, one helped found Phoenix. So the song still works.
