You all must have remembered a Nokia commercial which was on TV all the time an year before. Ya, it's a Nokia N-Series TV Ad in the background of which you can listen a fast beautiful piano music and a song "in my heart". You liked the song, didn't you ? You must have tried to get that song or might have thought that the song is nothing but composed for nokia. Abra-ca-dabra, the song is of the album "18" and the artist is Moby.
Highly acclaimed for his techno music, Moby is versatile musician, singer, and lyricist. Originally named Richard Melville Hall, his nickname 'Moby' is inspired from the novel "Moby Dick". He was born in Harlem, New York, and raised in Darien, Connecticut.
In 1995 his first album "Everything Is Wrong", earned his early critical acclaim and spanned several vastly different genres of music though gained minor commercial success. Beside music, Moby is an advocate for a variety of causes. His involvement with organisation like MoveOn and Peta, influenced his later album "Animal Rights" which surprised many who never expected him to do an all-out rock record. Moby's breakthrough album was 1999's "Play". It was the first album in history to have all of its tracks commercially licensed.Play has a bluesy, down-to-earth feel, with hip-hop and other influences. It was very well-received by fans and critics alike.
Moby usually writes all his own music, occasionally with collaborators. His songs are mostly influenced by his political, environmental and religious beliefs. His music is thoughtful, honest, and inspiring, and vary widely between ambient to hard rock and techno.
Extreme Ways is second single from Moby's album "18". The track has reached a wider audience and is included in 2002 movie The Bourne Identity. I like this song for its music and moving lyrics. I was thinking to make a video using this song but the work has already been done by someone at Youtube. You can watch that video here.
