Lyrics

[Giorgio Moroder]
When I was fifteen, sixteen
when I started really to play the guitar
I definately wanted to become a musician
It was almost impossible because the dream was so big
I didn't see any chance
Because I was living in a little town
I was studying
And when I finally broke away from school
And became a musician, I thought
"well I may have a bit of a chance"
Because all i every wanted to do is music
but not only play music, but compose music

At that time, in Germany, in 1969-70
they already had discotheques
So I would take my car and go to a discotheque
and sing maybe 30 minutes
I think I had about 7-8 songs
I would partially sleep in the car
Because i didn't want to drive home
and that help me for about almost 2 years to survive
In the beginning, I wanted to do a album
with the sound of the 50s, the sound of the 60s, of the 70s
and then have a sound of the future
And I said: "Wait a second?
I know the synthesizer
Why don't I use the synthesizer
which is the sound of the future
"And I didn't have any idea what to do
but I knew I needed a click
So we put a click on the 24 track
which was then synch to the moog modular
I knew that it could be a sound of the future
but I didn't realise how much impact it would be

My name is Giovanni Giorgio
But everybody calls me Giorgio

You want to free your mind
about a concept of harmony and music being correct
you can do whatever you want
So nobody told me what to do
and there was no preconception of what to do
