Mr. Moby, if you ever read this please understand you that you earned another fan today. I'm just a man, age 64, and rarely weep anymore, yet found my face wet. I may just understand. This is an incredible creation. Thank you very much. Whether here or the next life, I hope to meet one day.
18 when this came out, parents were middle aged then, now *I* am middle-aged and my parents are elderly, and this now hits in a whole different way. If that's not the definition of art i don't know what is
I was 10 when this came out, now I'm 34 and neither of my parents are with me anymore. It's beautiful to see how a videoclip I thought was strange as a kid, now hits home harder than any hammer could.
This music video really hits home especially the older that I get. The people, places, and events in my life that I share with so many people will one day only exist in my memories. The older you get the sadder life becomes when your loved ones are no longer here and the generations before you start to disappear. Treasure your life and the people in it, because one day we will all be just a faded memory. 😔❤️😎
I lost my son 25 1/6/2021 It crushed me his mom went 8 years ago That's what killed him he thought he had something to do with it You can be alone in an instant. Treasure every second Don't forget thank him every day for our debt he paid in full JESUS CHRIST
I held my grandmother's hand as she peacefully passed away yesterday at the age of 91. I've always liked this song, but I have never seen the music video. I can't explain the mix of emotions I am feeling right now, having just seen it for the first time.
@@paulbirkbeck1790 it is disturbing, and beautiful, and terrifying, and comforting. It makes me feel good and bad simultaneously. I think these feelings are part of our journey as living things that know we will die one day. The older I get, the more I just want to hug my family.
Lost my father when I was 19 he was 53 one day I went to lift him he became dead weight ripped my pants trying to carry him back to bed. He was dying I was screaming not to go hang on to looking him in the eyes and comforting him saying let go. His last breathe of life was looking me in my eyes. That day impacted my life in a very huge manner and not for good. Followed sorrow no father figure mom never remarried just went down hill brother down hill. He would have stopped alot of the bad that came after. I'm almost 40 now and never a day goes by I don't think how much I miss him.Before he got so sick he was bed ridden we watched the movie stand by me and when that song came on at the end we both looked at each other I grabbed his hand and sat there in silence knowing what was coming. I'm in tears now man loosing someone so close is so hard

As a 41 year old combat veteran this video hits different now than it did back in the early 2000s I was in love with a beautiful girl named Hope. We made actual home videos very similar to the ones in this video as well as the pics. Several years back before Covid Hope died from fentanyl. She was a mother a daughter and a sister. Anytime I see this video I think of her and tho I hurt for her loss and the loss of our one time love I do also remember the true and genuine joy we both shared as a young and in love couple. Rip Hope…You are no longer here but one you loved is and sharing your sweet loving name and nature
shes still with you.. energy never dies friend. if you speak out to her and call out for her and actually listen and breathe and try to be still.. you will see.. go out into nature alone and talk to her.. she will always be with you
I remember listening to this masterpiece when was a kid, now I'm adult and wanna cry cuz time flies and I appreciate every moment with my siblings and close friends...
Thomas I fell in love with these guys several years ago, I never get tired of listening to them. I'm 70 and their lyrics are right on it. "Nobody knows my troubles but God." Amen
I was 15 in 1999, my dad was dying from cancer and I would see this video in the mornings on MTV as I was getting ready for school. Never been into Moby but this song always takes me back to those mornings. My dad died quickly after I found out he had cancer (3 months from the day he told me) so to say it is an emotinal song for me is an understatement.
I always tear up when I hear this song. It touches my soul and I get very emotional. There is nothing carnal about this song which is why I love it so much. May you live a healthy , long life , Moby †
@shafta99 Yea, be thankful for growing up in poverty, in a neighbourhood were people get killed, and deadly drugs are being sold to kids. Ahhh life is so great for everybody. And if you disagree you are just an unthankful asshole. So be thankful..........
No words can describe what this song and this whole album means to me. I was 17 when it came out. It has been the soundtrack of my life. I hope that I will be able to listen to this song when I die and it sure will play on my funeral. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this masterpiece, Moby. It means more to me than you could ever know. ❤
I've followed this gentleman's career from when he DJ'd at Raves across the country, then he started releasing his own mixes....then he just went full blown musician on us and showed us he was a real contender. I don't give a crap who talks down on MOBY his work and his philosophy are admirable. His music has been the dance track spanning my early 20's to my early 50's, bravo sir, thank you for the music.
I spent a week doing community service in a nursing home. It was rough. Losing this one lady I made friends with.. she was bright and beautiful. I came in one day and checked into her room. she wasn't there anymore Hurt a lot.
Ok guy you have to listen to this I used to listen to this song every day blasting it in my whiteRenault 5 GT turbo with a vibe twin subwoofer in the back blasting it so loud that I got many noise complaints this song is so good I wish I could do this again some day
I have always been a huge Moby fan. This song and video is amazing. I’m a Senior Mental Health Nurse. I see this every day. It’s spot on and just wow!! How he brings this very harsh reality to us in his artistic way. Words can’t describe.
Im 43 and it hits my heart now. Life's an unreal battle at times. I have a large brain tumor and its very challenging mentally, physically, just a nightmare. I ask for No Sympathy's... I want to say enjoy your family, enjoy yourself, help yourself become better and Bless you. Life's quick and we look back in shock that its gone in a flash😇😁
Happy Birthday “Play” 25 years old this week. Sublime & iconic work of art that whisks me away to wonderful memories from my youth. Still played today with an older & maybe wiser ears with which to listen 🤗👌🏼
I lost my family in the with in the last 3yrs and this song makes me think of them while smiling and crying at the same time! They didn’t get to live to this age but it’s all the same!
I remember this video when I was a senior in high school. I’ve always enjoyed Mobys music. I remember that many of his songs acknowledge his struggles with Depression. Great sample and a powerful video.
I remember being a kid and hearing this song for the first time on an airplane randomly. It was probably around when it came out so 1999 or 2000, so I was probably 10? I remember being totally shook by it, I had never heard anything like it. I would hear it now and then and alway was so intrigued by it, moved by it really, but it wasn't until I was in high school when I found out it was a Moby song. This whole album is incredible and the blues recordings that are at the centerpiece of some many of the tracks are truly unforgettable. Sometimes young people make jokes about Moby and I just wanna be like okay but have you heard "Play" bc it is one of the greatest masterpieces of dance music.
100 тысяч раз смотрю это видео и не перестаю поражаться прекрасной режиссёрской задумке и автору! Так красиво написать текст,спеть и отснять при этом сделав это глубоко но в тоже время понятно для каждого! Это шедеврально!!!
This is an absolutely masterpiece and i can never get enough of it! Endless love for this track Moby! I hope this comment get enough likes for moby! Thats my biggest wish....
He's not actually singing the song. He sampled the hook. And put a dope beat to it. There's a really good story behind the creation of this album. I heard it on a podcast recently. Something about him being broke and sleeping on friends couches at the time. And a friend lends him a box set of cds with a bunch of old southern songs. He ended up sampling a bunch of those songs and created the album that made him famous.
Christina and Fairuza our emo goddesses of the nineties , both such sides of the same coin Christina without a smile and Fairuza with the beaming wild eyed grin; I still love the hell out of this song and I find myself humming it when work gets stressful. Thank you Moby.
My dad has spent the last 6 months in a nursing home. Today I watched him pass away there. I'm not sure there's any video that better represented that experience than this one. 😢
Belated condolences. (A trite sounding sound byte; I’m not articulate at all today. ) My father died in mysterious circumstances after I was in a car wreck, and I so wish I could have been with him.
Someday when I'm an old man, I would like to see a video of Moby, in many years, once he becomes an old man, watching this video of himself as an old man, watching himself as a young man.
I just heard this for the first time today, no clue how it skipped me for 10 years-I cried. This is brilliant and moved me in a way that not much does.
A few years ago, I created a playlist for myself with like 800 songs. But I never knew all of them ,because i kind of just throwing everything in it. So about a week ago I decided I won't pick music, I will let it play all 800. I put a paper on the table, and started drawing. As usual night activity, when I can't sleep. 80 minutes in, this song popped up. I raised my eyebrows, cuz i never heard it before. Nor that i knew it was there. So I typed into youtube, and started the video. Honestly, 5 seconds in I started crying, because i sort of knew what I will see. But I'd never imagine seeing this level of realism. I wasn't prepared for this. Then I watched further. And it became more and more depressing to me, because a lot of my relatives passed away very early, when I was younger. I only have 1 grandmother now, besides my mom and dad, and she's in a place like in the video right now. We visit her often, but sometimes she's not recognizing us anymore. She's 94. She was always happy, and she was very active, even in her 80's. Now she's in a wheelchair all day in the building, and I feel so bad for her. I love her.... ...(I hate to say it, but) if it's her time to leave this world, and me, and my parents,... I will know, where to find this true art of a music. ❤ and if it's my time, i want this song, to play on my funeral...
Remember seeing this when i was little! Man this video is so damn touching! If this video never won an Oscar thats crazy! I almost had a tear in my eye!
Today (read tomorrow) is the birthday of our lovely Richard! Congratulations dear Moby. You made HAPPY OF MILLIONS SOULS. Thank you for all this masterpieces!
Después de mucho pensar y sentirme he concluido que quiero hacer de mi vida algo que deje frutos, de la manera que lo hace Moby por ejemplo. Esta música me ha acompañado en momentos fuertes de mi vida y me ayuda a renacer, me inspira, me mueve... algo así siento que quiero dejar por mi paso en este mundo
I love this song, but every time I watch the video - even as a grown man - it brings tears to my eyes! I suppose having elderly parents (especially when one of them has already died) doesn't really help.
i read a report that some doctors are worried that the united states will have a depression crisis because to many kids take care of their parents "me included" and it ends up weighing on people. i think any and all people going into the medical field should have to spend have the time in school and the other would be to help elderly and the broken.
Yes, the weight of taking care of elderly parents is hard, I know, doing so same. Do not be depressed - you are doing the right thing, may be thankless and draining, but you are fulfilling a part of a greater destiny. I always think of how long my parents took care of me, raising me and while they were also taking care of my grandparents, I know. I don't need God to remind of me of those years - I believe in our duty, repaying what life has given us.
If you cried listening this song, you are with me, if you believied dead listening this song now, you are with me, if you believie that we can fix what we fucked up , you are with me. who ever god you are bless them, us, and bring peace to everyone.
Damn, It took me 20 years to get the meaning of this song. I haven't seen the video in almost that long. But now with the video and song together, i see the point of the song as looking back on ones life and remembering the good and bad. Only the things that I myself can understand. No matter how hard I try to explaing to someone my experiences, they will never understand completely. At least, that is the way I am feeling when I see the video now. Thank You Moby for making music that is just as meaningful now as it was then!!!!
such a emotional rollercoaster of a song. crying thinking about myself at 13 when I heard this for the first time. I wish I could be stronger for myself and my mum.
Mr. Moby you are a musical genius and the way you convey your feelings through music and videos, your works of art are truly out of this world. The way that you reach out to people and touch their souls, there are not enough words to describe your awesomeness. Thank you sir.
Me enchina la piel de conectar con el mensaje que Moby quiere transmitir. Esto aparte de ser arte, es sentir la frecuencia y las intenciones. Qué dicha poder verlo a pesar de tanto ruido en el mundo.
Pase 8 años buscando esta canción,la vi por primera vez en la tv cuando tenia 12 y me enamore de ella y me la pase buscándola hasta que por fin hoy la encontré,el sentimiento y memorias que me trajo me hicieron llorar de alegría. :"3
De que me hablas? Me pasó lo mismo!!! También pasé años buscándola sin éxito. Un día en la tv sacaron un video que nada que ver, pero con la canción y decía "Simple Blues"... Con esa referencia jamás la iba a encontrar... A mi me gusta Moby y de repente la encontré en su discografía 😱🙌🙏
Pobre. Yo siempre apuntaba la letra de las canciones y tenía un folder con todas esos temas de los que no sabía el nombre. A veces las tarareaba y las grababa si no tenían letra. Yo sabía que en el futuro iba a tener alguna manera de encontrar todas las canciones que alguna vez me gustaron. Luego con el Internet se me hizo fácil buscarlas con lo que había anotado 😊.
Definitivamente Christina Ricci tiene una esencia muy misteriosa y oscura,como la muerte,por eso me cae tan bien como persona y actriz,es una pena que no haya hecho más películas
Mr. Moby, if you ever read this please understand you that you earned another fan today. I'm just a man, age 64, and rarely weep anymore, yet found my face wet. I may just understand. This is an incredible creation. Thank you very much. Whether here or the next life, I hope to meet one day.

@@jimnfl7134 This isn't Moby's vocal. Do some research.
Just rewatched this beloved video again crying
and was reminded of being with my father when he passed April 4 , 2024 ...
For most of my life we didn't have much in COMMON...
so we weren't very close and he lived far away , but he did what he could to support us.
And I KNOW he loved me .
I'm 55 , my dad was 80 years old .
He was living in an Alzheimer's home near Nashville .
More recently he had broken his hip for the second time and it was not surgically fixable .
So strong pain meds were given ; which often causes rapid deterioration in older men .
He developed pneumonia . and hospice care was soon initiated .
That's when my step sister messaged me that I may want to visit as it wasn't looking good.
The day I arrived he was very frail ;
~ his body reminded me of an artistic drawing of a cadaver.
That's how close to death he was.
Nurse got him to consciousness and to open his squinting eyes ;
The nurse said :" for you " to me ...
I walked over into his line of sight and said ": Hi dad ; It's Doug ... your son ... " ...
and I saw that slight glimmer of delighted recognition he gave me three years ago .
THIS was all I wanted . For him to know I was there .
The next morning when we arrived his body was forcibly breathing fast ;
I noted his cheeks were even rosy red ...
deceivingly healthy looking compared to his pallor the day before
The rosy cheeks were actually from his body overworking / unable to get oxygen to his lungs ... he was in the end stages
He took less frequent breaths ... for about an hour
until
absolute stillness and quiet
I said to my stepsister
" I think he's in the light now "
Our COMMONALITY was now me being with him as he faced death without fear .
Can't get closer than that ... "

My dad died quickly after I found out he had cancer (3 months from the day he told me) so to say it is an emotinal song for me is an understatement.
What
What
I always tear up when I hear this song.
It touches my soul and I get very emotional.
There is nothing carnal about this song which is why I love it so much.
May you live a healthy , long life , Moby †
Mad Respect
This song touches almost everyone heart to painfull to watch it. Respect moby for bringing reality
Really old comment
still a old comment
+karan pkatarki It's rough, horrid and amazingly beautiful.

@shafta99 Yea, be thankful for growing up in poverty, in a neighbourhood were people get killed, and deadly drugs are being sold to kids. Ahhh life is so great for everybody. And if you disagree you are just an unthankful asshole. So be thankful..........
I'm 34 and this is already my life. Has been for 34 years..
I hate to disappoint you, but the next ten years of your life will AT BEST be like the last ten. 💜
Man, that mix with Vera Hall's voice still hits! 🔥
No words can describe what this song and this whole album means to me. I was 17 when it came out. It has been the soundtrack of my life. I hope that I will be able to listen to this song when I die and it sure will play on my funeral. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this masterpiece, Moby. It means more to me than you could ever know. ❤
I've followed this gentleman's career from when he DJ'd at Raves across the country, then he started releasing his own mixes....then he just went full blown musician on us and showed us he was a real contender. I don't give a crap who talks down on MOBY his work and his philosophy are admirable. His music has been the dance track spanning my early 20's to my early 50's, bravo sir, thank you for the music.
I spent my childhood visiting a sick relative in a nursing home much like this. First time I saw this video my spine turned to ice.
I spent a week doing community service in a nursing home. It was rough. Losing this one lady I made friends with.. she was bright and beautiful. I came in one day and checked into her room. she wasn't there anymore
Hurt a lot.

Wow! That is Deep
Ok guy you have to listen to this I used to listen to this song every day blasting it in my whiteRenault 5 GT turbo with a vibe twin subwoofer in the back blasting it so loud that I got many noise complaints this song is so good I wish I could do this again some day
I have always been a huge Moby fan. This song and video is amazing. I’m a Senior Mental Health Nurse. I see this every day. It’s spot on and just wow!! How he brings this very harsh reality to us in his artistic way. Words can’t describe.
I feel sad when I listen to this song, and for the music video...!!..😢😢😢😢😢
What keeps people going, in that condition? What else is there to live for?
This is probably one of the most slept on songs in human history 💯
I didn't remember Christina Ricci's unique beauty was in the video of this outstanding song.
I moved to Toronto in 2000. This album (Play! by Moby) dominated. I found it perfectx for driving rainswept urban streets late at night.
The song and video are truly a masterpiece.
Im 43 and it hits my heart now. Life's an unreal battle at times. I have a large brain tumor and its very challenging mentally, physically, just a nightmare. I ask for No Sympathy's... I want to say enjoy your family, enjoy yourself, help yourself become better and Bless you. Life's quick and we look back in shock that its gone in a flash😇😁
Still love this song❤ the video reminds me of working in a nursing home. Lots of wonderful people worked there, but the bad outweighed the good.
Happy Birthday “Play” 25 years old this week. Sublime & iconic work of art that whisks me away to wonderful memories from my youth. Still played today with an older & maybe wiser ears with which to listen 🤗👌🏼
This is, without a doubt, what you call art.
In its purest form
It's amazing how Moby song's can bring it on that nostalgic feeling for early's 2000s
I am 46. This hit VERY different to when I first heard this
I love Christina Ricci ❤
I lost my family in the with in the last 3yrs and this song makes me think of them while smiling and crying at the same time! They didn’t get to live to this age but it’s all the same!
One of the best art works of art of all time.
I remember this video when I was a senior in high school. I’ve always enjoyed Mobys music. I remember that many of his songs acknowledge his struggles with Depression. Great sample and a powerful video.
This is all of us in a few decades, let that sink in!
I heard this song when I was about 11, time flies and I wish I would have spent it wisely.
I remember being a kid and hearing this song for the first time on an airplane randomly. It was probably around when it came out so 1999 or 2000, so I was probably 10? I remember being totally shook by it, I had never heard anything like it. I would hear it now and then and alway was so intrigued by it, moved by it really, but it wasn't until I was in high school when I found out it was a Moby song. This whole album is incredible and the blues recordings that are at the centerpiece of some many of the tracks are truly unforgettable. Sometimes young people make jokes about Moby and I just wanna be like okay but have you heard "Play" bc it is one of the greatest masterpieces of dance music.
That is the meaning of life, happiness. Not materials. Just unconditional happiness. We don't take anything in the end.
we take our primary light & what we learned & did with us...."next". : )
100 тысяч раз смотрю это видео и не перестаю поражаться прекрасной режиссёрской задумке и автору! Так красиво написать текст,спеть и отснять при этом сделав это глубоко но в тоже время понятно для каждого! Это шедеврально!!!
One of my grandma’s favorite songs R.I.P. MA-MA
Moby... great man... full of content natural blues... my respect
Heard this when I was a kid….This and find my baby…. still hits the soul 🤌❤️ love you moby!!!
Christina Ricci & Fairuza Balk at the height of their beauty.
They're both still beautiful
kinda heretical but ill give you the like cause she was coolnin Casper and Adams Family
This is an absolutely masterpiece and i can never get enough of it! Endless love for this track Moby! I hope this comment get enough likes for moby! Thats my biggest wish....
Me too so many memories of my dad in same position.
Almost every track I hear from this man puts me in tears and I don’t know why 😡😭😂
It's the sampling.
two of past crushes when i was younger in this video. Christina Ricci and Fairuza Balk. Now im an old man like Moby :(
Thank you, Moby, this song brings the memory of younger years and is one of the few things in life that never shows age.
Шедевр на все времена!!!
That quick smirk when he looks at his parents photo gets me teary eyed every time.
16 years later. I understand this song now.
+phuturephunk same here.
+phuturephunk whats it mean? i cant hear a word hes saying..
i dont know!! all i wrote was, same here, i dont know why it added that word, hmmm sorry about that.
He's not actually singing the song. He sampled the hook. And put a dope beat to it. There's a really good story behind the creation of this album. I heard it on a podcast recently. Something about him being broke and sleeping on friends couches at the time. And a friend lends him a box set of cds with a bunch of old southern songs. He ended up sampling a bunch of those songs and created the album that made him famous.
Podcast is "Heavyweight"
Episode -" Gregor"
7 years ago, I was listening to this when my mother died every now and then. I listened to this
The pad sound that starts at 2:05 is incredibly beautiful. I'd love to know how it was made.
I was 15 when i first heard this song. Now im 42. 😢😢😢 if you know you know.
Christina and Fairuza our emo goddesses of the nineties , both such sides of the same coin Christina without a smile and Fairuza with the beaming wild eyed grin; I still love the hell out of this song and I find myself humming it when work gets stressful. Thank you Moby.
im in love w fairuza .. for the rest of my life!!!!
The daze i was alive.... thank you...brings tears from ALL the years of cutting the streets of America...True Blues!
This video makes me cry hard reflecting so many levels of my self. Don't waste your time
same here. be strong and know that you have a purpose and are loved.
Yep, when you realize your own mortality is reality....
My dad has spent the last 6 months in a nursing home. Today I watched him pass away there. I'm not sure there's any video that better represented that experience than this one. 😢
Belated condolences. (A trite sounding sound byte; I’m not articulate at all today. ) My father died in mysterious circumstances after I was in a car wreck, and I so wish I could have been with him.
Maledetto tempo che ci sfugge dalle mani come granelli di sabbia al vento.. 😔
Someday when I'm an old man, I would like to see a video of Moby, in many years, once he becomes an old man, watching this video of himself as an old man, watching himself as a young man.
Deep
@@peterschofield1553 ✌😉😆
Damn
@@xavierquiroz3582 Recursion rulez :)
but you'll have gone blind and deaf......welcome to hell on earth
This song is so repetative yet it never gets old!
Happy 59th Birthday to Moby, thanks for the music.
I just heard this for the first time today, no clue how it skipped me for 10 years-I cried. This is brilliant and moved me in a way that not much does.
I heard this today after some 20 years again. I just bought the whole LP. No music of today is like this. Its a whole different level.
More than 10 …I remember this song playing on vh1 when I was like 12 …I’m 34 now
I'm happy TH-cam is around, I can watch this video and listen to the song any time I want.
A few years ago, I created a playlist for myself with like 800 songs. But I never knew all of them ,because i kind of just throwing everything in it. So about a week ago I decided I won't pick music, I will let it play all 800. I put a paper on the table, and started drawing. As usual night activity, when I can't sleep. 80 minutes in, this song popped up. I raised my eyebrows, cuz i never heard it before. Nor that i knew it was there. So I typed into youtube, and started the video. Honestly, 5 seconds in I started crying, because i sort of knew what I will see. But I'd never imagine seeing this level of realism. I wasn't prepared for this. Then I watched further. And it became more and more depressing to me, because a lot of my relatives passed away very early, when I was younger. I only have 1 grandmother now, besides my mom and dad, and she's in a place like in the video right now. We visit her often, but sometimes she's not recognizing us anymore. She's 94. She was always happy, and she was very active, even in her 80's. Now she's in a wheelchair all day in the building, and I feel so bad for her. I love her....
...(I hate to say it, but) if it's her time to leave this world, and me, and my parents,... I will know, where to find this true art of a music. ❤ and if it's my time, i want this song, to play on my funeral...
Remember seeing this when i was little! Man this video is so damn touching! If this video never won an Oscar thats crazy! I almost had a tear in my eye!
Lol
Christina Ricci was magnificent in this video and the song too of course.
Seeing this with the video (his!) makes for an almost profound experience. The song I’ve listened to so often (“delightful”?) is deep.
Gosh Christina Ricci looks so heavenly.
All these years later and I still love this video, the imagery is incredible. Love coming back to watch it.
She's An Angel
Today (read tomorrow) is the birthday of our lovely Richard! Congratulations dear Moby. You made HAPPY OF MILLIONS SOULS. Thank you for all this masterpieces!
Después de mucho pensar y sentirme he concluido que quiero hacer de mi vida algo que deje frutos, de la manera que lo hace Moby por ejemplo. Esta música me ha acompañado en momentos fuertes de mi vida y me ayuda a renacer, me inspira, me mueve... algo así siento que quiero dejar por mi paso en este mundo
I love this song, but every time I watch the video - even as a grown man - it brings tears to my eyes! I suppose having elderly parents (especially when one of them has already died) doesn't really help.
i read a report that some doctors are worried that the united states will have a depression crisis because to many kids take care of their parents "me included" and it ends up weighing on people. i think any and all people going into the medical field should have to spend have the time in school and the other would be to help elderly and the broken.
As if the world isn't more ducked up than it already is!!!!!! I'm ready for heaven!
Yes, the weight of taking care of elderly parents is hard, I know, doing so same. Do not be depressed - you are doing the right thing, may be thankless and draining, but you are fulfilling a part of a greater destiny. I always think of how long my parents took care of me, raising me and while they were also taking care of my grandparents, I know. I don't need God to remind of me of those years - I believe in our duty, repaying what life has given us.
gr8zenzilla True. I don't do it for God, I do it for them. I don't need no repayment from any deity.
June 06 fucking word. they raised you to be better than them... happier.
it's all part of the cycle. at least you feel. be proud of that.
If you cried listening this song, you are with me, if you believied dead listening this song now, you are with me, if you believie that we can fix what we fucked up , you are with me. who ever god you are bless them, us, and bring peace to everyone.
Damn, It took me 20 years to get the meaning of this song. I haven't seen the video in almost that long. But now with the video and song together, i see the point of the song as looking back on ones life and remembering the good and bad. Only the things that I myself can understand. No matter how hard I try to explaing to someone my experiences, they will never understand completely.
At least, that is the way I am feeling when I see the video now.
Thank You Moby for making music that is just as meaningful now as it was then!!!!
As a 12 year old when this came out, this MV would play on Much Music frequently; and it put me onto the realness of our mortality.
I was 20 blew my mind.
Omg dude I completely forgot about much music!!
El poder de la musica
such a emotional rollercoaster of a song. crying thinking about myself at 13 when I heard this for the first time. I wish I could be stronger for myself and my mum.
Наше поколение запомнит эти треки навсегда.
💯💯💯
Согласен . 👍👍👍
You are my idol, but I hope we ever find God and his son before it is too late...
Все верно на 100%
My dad used to play this album all the time I was just a boy I'm 32 now time flies I've come back to this music it's beautiful
Mr. Moby you are a musical genius and the way you convey your feelings through music and videos, your works of art are truly out of this world. The way that you reach out to people and touch their souls, there are not enough words to describe your awesomeness. Thank you sir.
Man... I just cried.
Chill Combo Me too.
Everytime
Ditto.
me too
Mee too, this song makes me to reflection
Моби ты ахриненый чувак,Я слушаю тебя очень очень долго.По мне у тебя два класных альбома,это альбом плей,и Моби 18
Me enchina la piel de conectar con el mensaje que Moby quiere transmitir. Esto aparte de ser arte, es sentir la frecuencia y las intenciones. Qué dicha poder verlo a pesar de tanto ruido en el mundo.
We should all be so lucky to have a beauty like Christina take us into the afterlife and lift us into the new.
What to say ... beyond magnificent ... & so, so moving.
I forgot about this banger!!!
Pase 8 años buscando esta canción,la vi por primera vez en la tv cuando tenia 12 y me enamore de ella y me la pase buscándola hasta que por fin hoy la encontré,el sentimiento y memorias que me trajo me hicieron llorar de alegría. :"3
FerSuper001 me pasó algo similar, con una canción de gorillaz que vi en mtv como a los 6 años, muchos años después por fin la encontré y fue épico.
@@miketo6277 cual canción era?
Padre Morrison Clint Eastwood creo!
De que me hablas? Me pasó lo mismo!!! También pasé años buscándola sin éxito. Un día en la tv sacaron un video que nada que ver, pero con la canción y decía "Simple Blues"... Con esa referencia jamás la iba a encontrar... A mi me gusta Moby y de repente la encontré en su discografía 😱🙌🙏
Pobre. Yo siempre apuntaba la letra de las canciones y tenía un folder con todas esos temas de los que no sabía el nombre. A veces las tarareaba y las grababa si no tenían letra. Yo sabía que en el futuro iba a tener alguna manera de encontrar todas las canciones que alguna vez me gustaron. Luego con el Internet se me hizo fácil buscarlas con lo que había anotado 😊.
The ending is beautiful 🩵
3:20 I've dreamt it before· if only an "angel" like her, could take me in Heaven!
Definitivamente Christina Ricci tiene una esencia muy
misteriosa y oscura,como la muerte,por eso me cae tan bien como persona y
actriz,es una pena que no haya hecho más películas
