While he may frustrate people with his refusal to be interviewed and insistence on reminding people of the genre's origins, the soulfulness of his output is unquestioned. Utilizing classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass lines and an approach to drum programming that is diametrically opposed to the tendency to push the tempo faster and faster, he has achieved classic status thanks to gems like "Sunday Morning", "Shades of Jae", and his remix of Innerzone Orchestra's "People Make the World Go Round".

Moody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a while
It's been so quiet I can't hear the water drippin' down
From my eyes
You start complaining 'bout the stupid little things I said
And I'm not saying that you're wrong
But two can play this game
It's been a while
Aside from all the points I tried to make
I didn't mean for everything to change
I found someone to call my home
'Cause I was tired of sleeping alone
I hate that everything she does reminds me of you
Wanna wait
But if you're coming back I'm with someone new
But I want it to be you
I want it to be you
I've been a mess since you told me you were doing well
I've been a mess
She's got your eyes
But she doesn't look at me the same
But you did
She starts complaining 'bout the stupid little things I say
And I'm not saying that she's wrong
But two can play this game
It's been a while
Since I kissed your lips
Has it been a mess for you?
I hate that everything she does reminds me of you
Wanna wait
But if you're coming back I'm with someone new
But I want it to be you
I want it to be you
Searching for you in everyone I meet
Tired of history
Repeating, repeating
Why can't I be content with myself?
Never been so fucking lost
Never been, never been
Never been so fucking lost
Never been, never been
I hate that everything she does reminds me of you
Wanna wait
But if you're coming back I'm with someone new
But I want it to be you
But I want it to be you

It's been a while since I kissed your lips
I haven't kissed your lips in a long time
It's been a while
It has been a considerable amount of time
It's been so quiet I can't hear the water drippin' down
The silence is so deafening that I can't hear the water dripping
From my eyes
Tears are streaming down my face
You start complaining 'bout the stupid little things I said
You begin to criticize and complain about insignificant things I've said
And I'm not saying that you're wrong
I'm not denying your perspective
But two can play this game
But I can also engage in this game of complaints and criticisms
Aside from all the points I tried to make
Apart from all the arguments I put forth
I didn't mean for everything to change
I didn't intend for everything to shift and transform
I found someone to call my home
I discovered someone who makes me feel at home
'Cause I was tired of sleeping alone
Because I was exhausted from sleeping by myself
I hate that everything she does reminds me of you
I despise the fact that everything she does triggers thoughts of you
Wanna wait
I desire to wait
But if you're coming back I'm with someone new
However, if you plan to return, I am currently involved with someone else
But I want it to be you
But deep down, I want it to be you
I've been a mess since you told me you were doing well
I've been emotionally unstable since you informed me that you're doing fine
She's got your eyes
She possesses your eyes
But she doesn't look at me the same
However, she doesn't regard me in the same way
But you did
But you used to
She starts complaining 'bout the stupid little things I say
She begins to complain about the trivial remarks I make
And I'm not saying that she's wrong
I'm not implying that she is incorrect
Since I kissed your lips
Since the last time I kissed your lips
Has it been a mess for you?
Has it been chaotic and disorderly for you as well?
Searching for you in everyone I meet
I am trying to find traces of you in every person I encounter
Tired of history
Weary of repeating the same pattern
Repeating, repeating
Continuing to repeat
Why can't I be content with myself?
Why am I unable to find satisfaction within myself?
Never been so fucking lost
I have never felt so utterly bewildered
Never been, never been
I have never experienced this before
But I want it to be you
However, I wish it to be you
But I want it to be you
But deep inside, I want it to be you
