Music Video of the Day: Find My Baby by Moby (2000, dir by Barnaby & Scott)

You may remember that this song plays over the end credits for American Outlaws. It was a good pick because the song has a real western feel to it. That said, it also has nothing to do with this music video, which interprets the song fairly literally. “Oh my God! They really are finding a baby!”

These babies are all adults now.

Enjoy!

Today’s music video of the day is dedicated to Marianne Williamson.  I don’t endorse political candidates.  I learned my lesson from all the angry messages that I got after I said I was planning on voting for Gary Johnson in 2016.  My outlook is more libertarian than liberal but who knows?  Marianne might get my primary vote.

Before anyone says anything, I know that Moby is now officially on the creepy list but I still like his music, especially from the 18 and Play eras.  So, you know, why not?

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday) by Moby (2003, dir by Style Wars)

The story that began in the video for In This World continues in the video for Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday).  The aliens are back!  This time, they have a little bit more success getting noticed.  In fact, you could almost say that they have too much success.  Can you blame them for deciding to go back to their home?

As for the song, I’ve always thought it was one of Moby’s best.  It’s also one of his saddest songs, full of regret and melancholy.  The fact that Moby was born on September 11th, 1965 undoubtedly has something to do with that.  It’s interesting that such a sad song could inspire such an enjoyable video.

Just keep in mind that this video, featuring aliens getting their own television series, was released long before Keeping Up With The Kardashians.  So, you can consider this to be a prophetic video, if you are so inclined.

Enjoy!

In case you’ve ever wondered what it will be like when the aliens finally arrive on Earth, it’ll probably be a lot like this video.  You do have to give the aliens credit for trying though.  They made signs and everything.  Maybe they’re mistake was landing in New York.  New York is a very busy city and most people don’t really have time to look for tiny aliens.  That said, you have to love their refusal to give in.  They’re not going to surrender to despair.  They’re just going to make a bigger sign.

One thing I always enjoy about the videos that Moby made in the early aughts is that the songs were often somber and tinged with sadness but the videos frequently weren’t.

The aliens, by the way, will be back tomorrow.

Enjoy!
