Giorgio Moroder

December 29, 2013

One of the most influential electronic producers in the world, Giorgio Moroder has been back in the spotlight in 2013.

If Donna Summer was the Queen of Disco, then it's fair to say her king was Giorgio Moroder. The Italian-born producer presided over some of her biggest hits, including "I Feel Love" and "Love to Love You Baby" – and pioneered electronic dance music in the process.

Four decades into a career that also includes award-winning work in cinema, with scores for Midnight Express and American Gigolo, Moroder is still going as strong as the beat in his songs. Among other projects this year, he collaborated with one of the biggest names in dance music, Daft Punk. The Grammy-nominated French duo invited Moroder into the studio — not to push buttons and twist knobs, but to narrate his own life.

Lyrics:
First when there's nothing 
But a slow glowing dream 
That your fear seems to hide 
Deep inside your mind 

All alone, I have cried 
Silent tears full of pride 
In a world made of steel 
Made of stone 

Well, I hear the music 
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm 
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart 

What a feeling 
Being's believing 
I can have it all 
Now I'm dancing for my life 
Take your passion 
And make it happen 
Pictures come alive 
You can dance right through your life 

Now I hear the music 
Close my eyes, I am rhythm 
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart 

What a feeling, being's believing 
I can have it all 
Now I'm dancing for my life 
Take your passion 
And make it happen 
Pictures come alive 
Now I'm dancing through my life 

What a feeling 

What a feeling (I am music now) 
Being's believing (I am rhythm now) 
Pictures come alive 
You can dance right through your life 

What a feeling (I can really have it all) 
Being's believing 
(Pictures come alive when I call) 
I can have it all (I can really have it all) 
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call) 
(Call, call, call, call, what a feeling) 
I can have it all (being's believing) 
Being's believing (take your passion)
