Music Quotes:
I learned in the last few years that it's really unhappy and really unsustainable to try and base your well being on something as arbitrary as record sale and critical acclaim and the interests of the public. All of those things are so fickle. So my approach now to music is I want to make records that I love, and I hope that other people love them, then that's OK. - Moby (quoted on CNN.com March 2005) It just seem like musicians want to sell a few records and put out a perfume line, and I think it's so sad that there are so many musicians who don't want to change the world... Music has been so much more. - Moby (quoted on CNN.com March 2005) Submitted by: LucidLupin
| Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it's pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain. It's easy to forget the connection between a hamburger and the cow it came from. But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate a hamburger, a cow had ceased to breathe and moo and walk around. - Moby |

The Repetitive Lyrics: Why does my heart feel so bad?
Why does my soul feel so bad? These open doors Why They're Repetitive: This song consists only of three lines that are repeated throughout the whole song. That's very repetitive.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"We Are All Made of Stars"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: People they come together
People they come apart Nothing can stop us now Cause we are all made of stars Why They're Nonsensical: The first three lines make sense, but I have no idea what the last line means - but it is actually from 2001 (the obolisk at the end of the movie is stated to be full of stars) its a reference to that and also that we are all made of carbon and that makes up most of the universe so in essence we are made of stars.
