He has sold 20 million records worldwide. AllMusic considers him to be "among the most important dance music figures of the early 1990s, helping bring dance music to a mainstream audience both in the United States and the United Kingdom." After taking up guitar and piano at age nine, he played in several underground punk rock bands through the 1980s before turning to electronic dance music. In 1989, he moved to New York City and became a prolific figure as a DJ, producer, and remixer. His 1991 single "Go" was his mainstream breakthrough, especially in Europe, where it peaked within the top ten of the charts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Between 1992 and 1997, he scored eight top 10 hits on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart including "Move (You Make Me Feel So Good)", "Feeling So Real", and "James Bond Theme (Moby Re-Version)". Throughout the decade, he also produced music under various pseudonyms, released the critically acclaimed Everything Is Wrong (1995), and composed music for films. His punk-oriented album Animal Rights (1996) alienated much of his fan base.

Moby found commercial and critical success with his fifth album Play (1999), which, after receiving little recognition, became an unexpected global hit in 2000 after each track was licensed to films, television shows, and commercials. It remains his highest selling album with 12 million copies sold. Its seventh single, "South Side", featuring Gwen Stefani, remains his only one to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 14. Moby followed Play with albums of varied styles including electronic, dance, rock, and downtempo music, starting with 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), and Last Night (2008). His later albums saw him explore ambient music, including the almost four-hour release Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep. (2016). Moby continues to record and release albums; his twenty-first studio album, Resound NYC, was released in May 2023.

In addition to his music career, Moby is known for his veganism and support for animal rights and humanitarian aid. He was the owner of TeaNY, a vegan cafe in Manhattan, and Little Pine, a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, and organized the vegan music and food festival Circle V. He is the author of four books, including a collection of his photography and two memoirs: Porcelain: A Memoir (2016) and Then It Fell Apart (2019).

Overall Meaning

Moby’s “Natural Blues” is a powerful and emotional song that captures the essence of the blues. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, reflecting the desperation and sorrow of the singer. The repetition of the phrase “Oh Lordy, Lord, trouble so hard” creates a mournful tone that is echoed throughout the song. The singer pleads for understanding, acknowledging that only God knows the depth of their pain. This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but it seems to refer to the suffering that is part of the human condition, and the need to find solace and meaning in it.

The second verse is particularly striking, with its contrast between joy and grief. The singer’s soul “got happy and stayed all day” after going down the hill, suggesting that there can be moments of lightness even in the darkest times. But that respite is short-lived when they discover that their “brother was dead.” This sudden loss is a tragic reminder of the impermanence of life, and the cruel reality of death. The final lines return to the opening refrain, driving home the sense of isolation and despair that permeates the song.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh Lordy, Lord, trouble so hard
Life is filled with so much hardship and difficulty.

Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Only God can truly understand and empathize with my struggles.

Went down the hill, the other day
One day I went on a journey.

Soul got happy and stayed all day
I found joy and happiness that lasted throughout the day.

Went in the room, didn't stay long
I entered a space briefly.

Looked on the bed and brother was dead
I discovered that someone close to me had passed away.

Lost my father when I was 19 he was 53 one day I went to lift him he became dead weight ripped my pants trying to carry him back to bed. He was dying I was screaming not to go hang on to looking him in the eyes and comforting him saying let go. His last breathe of life was looking me in my eyes. That day impacted my life in a very huge manner and not for good. Followed sorrow no father figure mom never remarried just went down hill brother down hill. He would have stopped alot of the bad that came after. I'm almost 40 now and never a day goes by I don't think how much I miss him.Before he got so sick he was bed ridden we watched the movie stand by me and when that song came on at the end we both looked at each other I grabbed his hand and sat there in silence knowing what was coming. I'm in tears now man loosing someone so close is so hard

He's not actually singing the song. He sampled the hook. And put a dope beat to it. There's a really good story behind the creation of this album. I heard it on a podcast recently. Something about him being broke and sleeping on friends couches at the time. And a friend lends him a box set of cds with a bunch of old southern songs. He ended up sampling a bunch of those songs and created the album that made him famous.

I remember being totally shook by it, I had never heard anything like it. I would hear it now and then and alway was so intrigued by it, moved by it really, but it wasn't until I was in high school when I found out it was a Moby song. This whole album is incredible and the blues recordings that are at the centerpiece of some many of the tracks are truly unforgettable.

i read a report that some doctors are worried that the united states will have a depression crisis because to many kids take care of their parents "me included" and it ends up weighing on people. i think any and all people going into the medical field should have to spend have the time in school and the other would be to help elderly and the broken.

Yes, the weight of taking care of elderly parents is hard, I know, doing so same. Do not be depressed - you are doing the right thing, may be thankless and draining, but you are fulfilling a part of a greater destiny. I always think of how long my parents took care of me, raising me and while they were also taking care of my grandparents, I know. I don't need God to remind of me of those years - I believe in our duty, repaying what life has given us.

Moby envisioned his own future alone, abandoned or worst forgotten without his music. I'm glad that in his life (according to his official Instagram) he enjoys the warm company of pets. Just a dog or cat, nothing fancy like a Fox or a Polar bear! For me he's not a little idiot, at all and caring about the animal rights is everyone's duty.

No matter how hard I try to explaing to someone my experiences, they will never understand completely.
At least, that is the way I am feeling when I see the video now.

wow, its been like 2 years ago from my original statement. I don't know what will happen in the future. Put it seems as time goes by this song always makes it back into my life...reminding me to live during such uncertain times. I guess the blessing in my suffering by losing loved ones through the years and having many missteps from losing a child to being homeless has been the acceptance of it all. I accept my life, the good and bad. Body mind and soul, i am strong through it all...learning to live again in good health and hopefully share that with someone special.
