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).

We Are All Made Out of Stars
Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
(People they come together)
People they fall apart
(People they fall apart)
No one can stop us now
(No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(We are all made of stars)
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
'Cause we are all made of stars
(People they fall apart)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(We are all made of stars)
The song "We Are All Made of Stars" by Moby is a reflection on humanity's interconnectedness beyond the physical world. The first two lines of the song, "Growing in numbers, Growing in speed", refer to humanity's exponential growth and technological advancement. He then says he can't fight the future or what he sees, implying that the future is inevitable and we must accept it.
Moby then shifts the focus to human relationships in the chorus, saying that people come together and fall apart, but ultimately nothing can stop us because we are all made of stars. This lyric is not literal, rather it's meant to suggest that everything in the universe is connected, and like stars, we all have energy and light within us. The verse "Even love is goin' 'round, You can't ignore what is goin' 'round" echoes this sentiment - love is not just between two people, it's a force that flows through the universe and is a part of our very being.
The song ends with Moby declaring that we are all made of stars and that nothing can stop us now. It's a hopeful message that encourages us to embrace our interconnectedness and keep moving forward despite any challenges we may face.

I was in a really low place inside my head in 2002. I had a choice, let my anger spill over or turn that energy into something positive.
This song was a huge part of me choosing the latter.
It has since all worked out for the best.
I hope that if you're reading this while listening to this song, you find the same path.
Thanks Moby!

This was always me and my dad's song. He was fighting terminal cancer but died at home on Friday. At the end, when he was non-responsive and we couldn't find words to fill the space, each of us kids sang him a song and this was the song I sang to him. He really loved music and I have beautiful memories of driving around with my dad in the TJ, looking at ocean, blaring this song.
