30 Days of Song: Day 4 - I Remember Being a Pre-Teen Now

[akoya]

The 30 Days of Song Challenge is a way for me to post one song a day, hopefully with a theme and some commentary. If you want d/l links, further information or to discuss today's choice, feel free to comment!

"Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die"

Moby was my Junior High Jam as Arcade Fire was for High School. This was when I discovered electronica (really any music that was NOT alternative was a blessing to me then) and Moby was so captivating. He was really diverse musically, but was constant in one regard: His music always moved me to the core. There's just this connection that I get with his music that amplifies and resonates itself emotionally in me. It's so calming yet so powerful.
It was pretty difficult to choose one Moby song to share, but "South Side" edges out because it features vocals from Gwen Stephanie. I've adored her music since No Doubt and this collaboration always reminds me of them in the late 90s-early 00s and I love it.
