When I was a kid in the 70s, Paul Williams was everywhere. Game shows, talk shows. And he was like a musical Truman Capote, always brilliant and funny as hell. And then on top of that, he wrote some of the most iconic and beautiful love songs of all time. But as Hollywood began to weigh more heavily on looks and sex appeal, this funny looking little genius lost favor and drifted into relative obscurity. And that has always pissed me off, that we can just discard legends that easily. It must have killed him. He loved making music, and he loved the limelight, and for the most part, people just forgot him. So thanks to Daft Punk for remembering how great he was and is. He deserves so much more than people have given him.
Great comment. Insightful and couldn't be more accurate. In fact, there is a DocuMovie (not sure what to call it) based on this very subject and its titled "Paul Williams - Still Alive"
To me, the beginning just adds to the beauty of the song. Without it, it seems...well to quote Paul, it's like the song is saying, "I need something more."
Brilliant! Brought tears to my eyes. Wow Paul Williams. So much of our lives in the 70’s. He’s perfect in this. No one else could have given this song such depth and feeling!
Effectivement il y a ceux qui ont été en communion lors de leurs concerts et les autres dont je fais parti, on se dit que l'on a le temps et le temps nous rattrape et c'est déjà trop tard😭🙋
led to this song thanks to Jessica & Krystal~ ^^ the front part sounds so heart-warming and i could feel Sica's love towards her sister when i first heard this song in the Reality Variety Show~ ^^ nice song with a fun groove~
Esta cancion es como escuchar. La marcha slava. me refiero mas que todo que son 3 canciones en 1. como contraer una historia con su nudo, desarrollo y desenlance.
I prefer it without the intro, but I cannot deny how much it adds to the song.
You ok there son?
@@karpkarpkarp5 lol
No ! Better with intro
The build up is legendary
1:34 daft shows how great of composers they really are.
I love the piano and when the little trumpet kicks in
Best part ;)
Since the first moment I've heard this part, I cannot stop thinking that if credits after the end of the world got any soundtrack, this must be it.
I love the bass sound in this part
Today 22-02-2021, this song is so sad for a reason... 😭😭😭
I had to go and read Wikipedia for it to feel real. "Daft Punk were a..."
Thank you for the all the great music.
always has been
F
4:06 the moment where the song reaches perfection, till that point it keeps climbing.
What a great comment
perfection. touch.
listening to that part hit me like a train after watching "epilogue"
Rip daft punk
F😭

We can still cry right?

2:23 just gets that awe power for me so much
2:39 hits hard, but 4:06 + the next 2 minutes or so hit the hardest from Epilogue

When the string section comes in, fabulous
Finally, thank you! their intro scares me 🤣😭 sheeeesh.......
From 1:10 to 2:40 best part of the song. I wish I knew how to loop the part I would make a song from that.
I adore this song soooooooooooooooooo much

Magnifique final ❤️
Dance, goose bumps, possibly shed a tear, definitely feeling sad and grateful at the same time.
So many different phases of emotions in this tune.

The song of TOUCH its sad
PERFECT.
Sa voix est extremement émouvante.
My balls got goosebumps when i heard the final chorus part .
My only complain is to cut off the intro on the original one, it should be like this
Thank you!

Très cool comme musique..
Dommage qu'ils se séparent
😥😥😥
Les bonnes chose ont une fin...
Love it
Daft Punk Forever❤
Best part : 1:32
Noooo ! you can't cut Paul Williams ending, that is the better part !
Esta cancion es como escuchar.
La marcha slava.
me refiero mas que todo que son 3 canciones en 1.
como contraer una historia con su nudo, desarrollo y desenlance.
Arrrrrrgh... where is the ending?!?!
IKR!!!
1:20 - 2:23 BEST.
0:00 - 5:56 BEST.
🎶
4:02 This is basically channelling New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle. Anyone else agree?
I love this song! like+sub
1:32
4:25
Anyone notice this is what got swedish house mafia inspired by?
Balu babalu
This song is already a little part of myself.

You should've kept the ending :(
is it inappropriate to say that this song.... got the touch?
why...
harbiden why yani 30 yıldan sonra :(

Peccato
Il
Why the FUCK would you cut the ending?
Props to Daft for working with a true artist & not some shit wannabe like miley cyrus. Even if the song does suck for the first 4 minutes lol.
Thanks for cutting the crap from the beginning. Amazing song thou'!
Fuck you
Disagree.
2020 and still listening to this masterpiece?
Yes ma'am
