Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright
Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright
In my dreams I'm dying all the time
Then I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye, this is goodbye
Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright
Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright
Tell the truth you never wanted me (Hey, Hey, Hey...)
Tell me... (Woman, it's alright)
In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
Then I wake I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind
Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright
Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright
Hey, Hey, Hey... Woman, it's alright

Moby (Richard) was a DJ at an underage "nightclub" in this dusty old church attic when I was a teenager. Many good memories of that place, and the friends we made there. Particularly one amazing girl, in the cemetery nextdoor...
Annoys me
Sitting at my office at work. Listening to RP religiously, as usual. When this song comes on I remember the first time I heard it. I downloaded it on my phone for random play at the gym or when doing yardwork or driving. When this song and all songs come on by Moby, I am transcended in to a real happy place. His use of sounds and different vocalists make his stuff mesmerizing. Keep playing him PLEASE. 
Think what you may of "The Beach" as a film, and Leo Di Caprio's performance, but the scene where they walk to the beach to this song playing in the background is one of the more powerful ones in cinema.
Definitely takes me back to a moment of my youth and time, when life seemed slightly less complicated.

This entire album has got to be THE iconic soundtrack for the turning of the Millenium, and still has it's thing 23 years later. Epic, new and wonderful.
At the end of a show, Moby pointed to my (female) friend in the audience and invited her backstage. Then invited her to his hotel room.
"Did you go?" I asked.
"No! I'm not a starfucker," she said.
She's also been hit on by one of the Beastie Boys after a show.
Moby and the Beasties both have a spot of the yellow fever.

I recall reading an article about him taking a lot of flack, from David Gray in particular, about selling his songs like that. It does not bother me in the least. This is one of the best CDs ever. I will never understand how the intrinsic quality of a song can be altered because it is played on a commercial. I hate commercials, I never watch them, I just tune them out, but thanks to them we have TV programs.
Because nobody ever asked to buy David Gray's songs.

I read a rant a few years back that RP should never play Moby/mainstream music. I NEVER listen to mainstream Radio, I live in the sticks, we dont have mainstream radio. Of course I could stream it, but why would I? I am so grateful for the eclectic mix RP plays, I love Moby!

Transitioning from Vivaldi to Moby, violins to violins in the same key, is pure genius.

Driving through Toronto on the expressway, very late one one hot sticky August night. Windows wide open, this song cranked. Everything came together at that moment.

This song was overplayed on my local radio station. I like it a lot better in FLAC w/ great phones, amp & DAC! Thanx RP!
Spent best part of a week listening to this album in Kuala lumpar when it came out. Doubt he will ever top it. Classic.

Palm Desert CA. I'm in the front passenger seat and Dave is driving. Wives in the back seat gossiping. We've got KCRW on the radio and this is on, right after it was released.
It's pitch black out there where the car beams don't illuminate, but we can sometimes see cacti or other intermittent plants zoom by as the light hits them.
It's after a wonderful dinner and I've had more than one martini.

Had it at an 8; now a 5 for the Pet Shop Boys / St. Germain rip-off I hear in it.

DICK
I think I was around 11 years old. Holiday, south of France. In the car waiting for my parents that were visiting a 'supermarché'. Trying to find something good on the local radio stations. Between al the french talkshows, french local music and europop suddenly this...
It's still engraved in my memory. I knew this was Moby from the first seconds I heard it and was really glad to hear a new track. Trying to listen very carefully while my brother and sisters were arguing in the car. I wanted to hear every detail. Still see the french people walking by hoping that it would take while for my parents to finish shopping.
Edit: It appears I must have been 17... Screwed up memories...

Listen to the song Kazik - "Upał" (1993)
Moby - "Porcelain" is from 1999
Any similarities?
Based on the first 5 seconds, I’d say no. I couldn’t haddle much more

Based on the first 5 seconds, I’d say no. I couldn’t haddle much moreFeatured on the soundtrack “The Beach” and visiting an island very near to where it was filmed this song has many memories for me. It is hopefully something that I will hear when I enter the pearly gates.
Mobys talent as a musician is evident. I just wish he left his singing in the shower.
VERY pleasant sound!

We’ve cut our teeth on the gristle of a broken heart,
We’ve made changes we didn’t plan,
Our next love will always be our last,
like horizons that recede into the past
the manicure is no sinecure for the ones we leave behind.

Again, the power of memories associated with music is intense. This CD was in my good friend's car stereo the night we adventured to parts unknown in Seattle's Beacon Hill to attend a "minority advocate" meeting. My friend (K.A.Z.) and I almost hooked-up* several times in the several years we knew each other; alas the timing was always off! She was single when I wasn't and vice-versa. And since I actually liked her, versus having only lust, I was unwilling to "cheat" with her.
Yet, my memories of that evening are strongly punctuated by the playing of this disk in full, with repeated plays of this track, and the bittersweet feeling of a lost love that never was. ARRRGGG is all I have to say to that. Long Live RP and PEACE OUT!

Recognizing Moby seems to be one of those love/hate artists;
If you fall in the camp of liking his sound there is much, including this song, that is/was ahead of its time. Perhaps may even prove timeless?

I use a DVR and skip the ads and only watch sports live, my fav is NFL Redzone - 7 hrs of football without commercials.
Quality is the best it has ever been and the quantity way exceeds what is reasonable to watch. Much less healthy.
Paying for it is at your own budget/discretion, but taxes are in abundance on the bill.
However, nothing like the cost you guys mention.

On top of that you then have all the other bills for commercial channels. There are "free to air" channels but they are very heavy on the adverts and generally show very cheap tv like "Bob Ross" or "I love Lucy".
I wish I could "tune out". In our house when adverts come on someone reaches over and presses mute. I do the same with Moby.

It was a 75 degree summer night at an outdoor stadium in St. Paul. A light breeze blowing across the crowd at dusk with a full moon rising above the stage. Moby took the stage with an amazing sound and light show that for my wife and me was totally unexpected having never before seen him live. Truly a mind blowing and mind sticking experience. Would love to be able to re-live that nite.

Classic NYC lounge music! In the late '90s, Moby popped up in the rotation of every other LES or E Village hipster hangout I strolled into.
And on the other side of the country, as I drove along the western edge of Lake Mead some 5 years ago, on a cloudless night in a hot rental car with a sun roof, as God Moving Over the Face of the Water blasted from my CD, I had a taste of heaven.

On this track he's singing the bulk of the vocals. Clearly not the "hey hey woman" part, that's Pilar, but the verses are Moby.

Let's be clear....he's not singing....he's talking.
I still like it....always have.Good video too.

New York's moderates and conservatives are ready to anoint whichever progressive Democrat wins the Mayor's race the new David Dinkins. But like Dinkins, whoever inherits that city will have inherited a declining metropolis.
Only moved away three months ago but man am I homesick. Say hello to the Beacon Theater for me.
Classic NYC lounge music! In the late '90s, Moby popped up in the rotation of every other LES or E Village hipster hangout I strolled into.
And on the other side of the country, as I drove along the western edge of Lake Mead some 5 years ago, on a cloudless night in a hot rental car with a sun roof, as God Moving Over the Face of the Water blasted from my CD, I had a taste of heaven.

Back when hipster hangouts were at least semi-cool. Not quite the filthy dives of the 80s but better than whatever Greenpoint or Williamsburg is producing these days.

Eeeew. There's something creepy, slimey about this guy — like how I felt when I sat on a slug on the toilet seat in a the middle of the night.

Gorgeous. Piano conjures shades of "La Wally" to me...very evocative.
Classic. So many memories!

That's a ridiculous comment. Kind of hard to hear what's creepy and slimey in this piece. Or what you infer about the "guy" on hearing it. For me, most of Moby is quite enjoyable. Often inspired and inspiring.

I suppose you gave this a 10?
Makes me wonder, what was the song of the last millennium? I'm curious to hear different ideas.
For me, there are no less than a hundred, but close to the top of my list is Come Together.
I don't know, I just find it wicked in so many ways...
I would have to say that would be the song Let Down by Radiohead. This is my favorite Moby song and a certain candidate for the best song of this new millenium. Another candidate would be the first track off the CD Lift Your Skinny Fists to Heaven Like Antennas by GYBE.

Not a bad song, but I hope to hear music I enjoy far more over whatever proportion of this millennium is allotted to me by fate.

This is now as a "classic". Excellent, Overplayed, but that's not mr. Melville's fault
...this brings tears in my eyes.......hearing it while cutting onions in the kitchen at max.vol.............perfect.....

That is incorrect. Moby is a fairly proficient guitarist and a singer in additional to being an extremely proficient producer.
On this track he's singing the bulk of the vocals. Clearly not the "hey hey woman" part, that's Pilar, but the verses are Moby.

used to listen to this so much, hasn't dated for me - thank you Bill for a great set
Rich's stuff has always been well thought-through, nicely crafted and frequently fun...
Mr. Speaker I would like to revise and amend. After having spent some time listening to a bunch of Moby I can honestly admit now that I do actually like a lot of his stuff. Granted, some of it is a bit pretentious, but other tracks, like this one, are really good compositions (and, of course, Extreme Ways ;^) ). I've become somewhat of a fan and found that he's good listening while out for a long ride on the motorcycle. See - people can change :^)
NOBODY MAN!
feat. Basement Jaxx? 
I've always assumed that he is the only son of a Hollywood producer with way too much money. Can't think of any other reason why he would have gotten any airplay otherwise.
Beh!

Fond memories 20 years ago being on the roof of my old apartment in Vancouver watching The Symphony of Fire - jellyfish-like fireworks were going up in sync to "Hey...hey...hey...woman..."
