Moby - “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad"

  • Summary

  • On the latest episode of The Story Behind the Song, pioneering electronic producer and songwriter Moby joins host Peter Csathy for a deep dive into his groundbreaking album Play and the smash hit single "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?"

    Moby delves into his journey from a young musician experimenting with punk rock to his embracing of electronic music and DJ culture. It all led to Play, Moby's 1999 album that served as his global breakthrough and celebrates its 25th anniversary this year; with singles like "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?," Play brought Moby and his unique production and songwriting style to new critical and commercial heights.

    The producer reveals how he first encountered The Shining Light Gospel Choir, whose vocals appear on the track, and how the song actually ties all the way back to his 1991 single "Go" (which sampled Angelo Badalamenti's "Laura Palmer's Theme" from the TV classic Twin Peaks).

    Also in this episode, Moby discusses his latest album, Always Centered at Night. He also touches on his advocacy for animal rights and why raising money for charity is the only thing that will get him to tour.
