[Verse 1]
It's been much too long
I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long
I feel it coming on
The feeling is in my bones

[Chorus]
Too long
Can you feel it?
Too long
Oh can you feel it
Too long

[Verse 2]
At last the long wait is over
The weight is off my shoulders
I'm taking all control
My mind, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I see, you feel the way I do
The feeling so, so true
The good feelings coming through
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me

[Chorus]

[Verse 4 x2]
You know you need it
I need it too
You know you need it
It's good for you

[Outro x3]
Too long

With their thoroughly modern disco sound — a blend of house, funk, electro and techno — this French duo was one of the biggest electronic music acts of the late 1990s and 2000s. Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter wore shiny droid costumes at every live show (and only allowed themselves to be photographed in said costumes) but their music was only sometimes Daft Punk were as influenced by rock bands like AC/DC as they were by classic disco acts (Chic’s Nile Rodgers even collaborated with them for their hit 2013 single, “Get Lucky”). Not only were they prolific creators, but some of the best collaborators in the industry, producing for and working alongside artists such as Kanye West and The Weeknd.

On 22 February 2021, Daft Punk announced their retirement through a video titled “Epilogue,” featuring footage from their 2004 film Electroma and the orchestral version of “Touch”. It marks an end to the incredible journey they had in influencing the world of music, with just four studio albums released over the course of 28 years.
