When I saw that the review was missing, I dove in headfirst. Big mistake.
Moby, a great multifaceted artist who needs no introduction, presents us with a complete album.
To say it is simply Electronic music would be too reductive; it means everything and nothing.
This time I dare to make a sort of logbook of the most noteworthy steps, in my characteristic narrative style, of this journey called "Everything Is Wrong".
Everything begins with "Hymn", a purely Ambient dive into the cool water of the Pacific Ocean. You immediately feel alive and unstoppable, represented by the House/Rave energy of "Feeling So Real" and "Everytime You Touch Me", the Electro-Punk of "All That I Need Is To Be Loved" and the aggressiveness of "What Love?", initially with a haunting Blues atmosphere but soon explosive with almost Thrash Metal resonances.
A burst of life that makes you pause for reflection within a few minutes. The surrounding atmosphere changes.
When "Into The Blue" starts, you remain paralyzed, sadness overwhelms you. The embrace of two fetuses immersed in amniotic fluid.
New lives grow and others slowly fade away... with the melancholic notes of the instrumental pieces "Everything Is Wrong" and "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters".
Tears flow like rivers. Stunned by the fragility of the human being.
To the sound of the ethereal female voice in "When It's Cold I'd Like To Die", you feel more alone than ever and desperately seek refuge in the thickest fog.
Amen.
Tracklist Lyrics and Samples
05 Everytime You Touch Me (03:41)
Is everybody under controls?
Oh....come and take me away
Oh....'cause everything is wrong today
I look the east, there are colors in the sky
The sun on my face, and oh I've started to cry
Is everybody under controls?
[Refrain:]
'Cause everytime you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Everytime you touch me I feel like I need some more
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone now I feel so glad
Everytime you touch me I feel like I'm being born
Anytime you need some peace
Come along, and stay with me
The forest burns, there are fires in the sky
Is everybody under controls?
[Refrain]
(colors in the sky)
One time in your face we've got be free c'mon!
One time in your face the bop's still with me
'Cause I put it to the left, put it to the right
I sing song, we never uptight
Want everybody just feel alright
My sing chorus will make you excite
'Cause everytime you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(word's out, c'mon people!)
Every time you touch me I feel like I need some more
(Sound system's rockin' myself)
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone, now I feel so glad
Everytime you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(I ain't looking to do that...Do it to me!)
'Cause everytime you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Beautiful people, now!)
Everytime you touch me I feel like I need some more
(Just come to thy self esteem)
Love's all high, never feeling bad
Used to be alone, now I feel so glad
Everytime you touch me I feel like I'm being born
(Sound system's rockin' myself)
13 When It's Cold I'd Like to Die (04:13)
Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold.
Someone flying only stolen,
I can't tell, this night's so old.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim forever.
When it's cold, I'd like to die.
What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog.
If I holler let me go. If I falter let me know.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim forever.
When it's cold I'd like to die.
I don't wanna swim forever.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
When it's cold I'd like to die.
