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).

Thousand
Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'm here once again
A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard, thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way
Moby's "Thousand" is a song about feeling lost and alone, both physically and emotionally. The singer is far away from someone they love and care about and is dealing with their own struggles. They feel like a "broken mess" and have lost parts of themselves along the way. The lyrics convey a deep sense of sadness and vulnerability, as well as a desire for connection and understanding.
One interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer may be dealing with addiction or mental health issues, which have caused them to become a shell of their former self. They may have isolated themselves from those around them and are now struggling to find their way back. The song's intense BPM adds to its sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is racing against time to find the help and support they need.
