@[swissarmykiss:30895] Not true, he said the song was written before that. https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/17/magazine/all-by-himself.html > The Web site posting Moby wrote that morning reads: ''I ran to my roof . . . and now I can't stop shaking and my apartment smells like smoke. What has happened? . . . Oh God.'' Loeb came over. Kelly Tisdale, too. Eventually, Moby drifted into his studio and tried to do a little work. Among other things, it had dawned on him during the day that the lyrics he had written a few weeks before for ''Sleep Alone'' were giving him the creeps now. ''It was just so close to what happened,'' he said later. ''That I'd had this image and that I'd had it walking downtown. It felt like I'd been a barnyard animal before a storm.'' > He talked to his friends, his managers and his record people about it in the days after the attack, and then he changed the lyrics. The ''fire'' in the hair has become ''light,'' and the couple no longer ''die'' together but ''were'' together. He couldn't have put the song out in the world with the lyrics as they were, he told me. It would have been irresponsible or been seen as exploitative or in some other way given a wrong impression about what it is to be him. |

@[daniel92:17899] The first time I heard this song was at their concert. They had all the lyrics on big poster boards that they flipped through so that everyone in the audience could literally sing along to the song we didn't know. This was right after they explained that they wanted to do something different with their new album and hoped everyone would be open minded to the change. Getting everyone to sing these surprising and silly lyrics was a perfect icebreaker to get the crowd and really brought everyone around to having a fun time instead of expecting their moodier songs. It was such an amazing happy atmosphere for the whole night. To me the rest of the meaning felt like it was about how they loved their fans so much that they loved them too much (think Angelica from Tiny Toons). Or maybe that they love they fans and want them to be happy by singing this silly song even if by force. Tough love. |
