Acts range from newer bands just emerging onto the scene (such as Tea Leaf Green, Nellie McKay and Raq) to big name acts and jam rock staples, such as Les Claypool, Blues Traveler, and Mike Gordon (of Phish fame); to pop rock icons, such as Leo Kottke, The Flaming Lips, The Violent Femmes; and most recently, Perry Farrell. Each year, the amount of moe.down attendees has steadily increased. moe.down I attracted around 3,000 people while moe.down VI in 2005, had attracted close to 7,000.
During an interview, guitarist Al Schnier was asked to describe moe. for those who have never heard their music: "It's an amalgamation of a wide variety of the history of rock, all regurgitated and recycled through the eyes, ears, hands, whatever of the guys in our band and all of that with a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, also a constant desire to push the envelope. All in this arena of taking chances, improvising live, and making things up on the spot."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one is here for me is anyone there?
Can't pretend I'm okay (can't pretend I'm okay!)
is anyone there for me (is anyone there for me)
Like bae am I living? (Like bae am I living?)
I swear I'm just dead (I swear I'm just dead)
I'm always used to just giving,
Even when I'm misled
like bae what's the motion
Too many emotions
Between me and you
Between me and you
like bae what's the motion
Too many emotions
Between me and you
Between me and you
Like bae am I living? (Like bae am I living?)
I swear I'm just dead (I swear I'm just dead)
I'm always used to just giving,
Even when I'm misled
Like bae am I living? (Like bae am I living?)
I swear I'm just dead (I swear I'm just dead)
I'm always used to just giving,
Even when I'm misled
The lyrics of moe.'s song "Head" talk about the toll that an emotionally exhausting relationship is taking on the singer. He is losing his sanity, feeling dead, and wonders if anyone is there for him or if he's living at all. He can no longer pretend that everything is fine, and he feels like he's always giving, even when he's misled. The chorus repeats the phrase "like bae what's the motion, too many emotions, between me and you," emphasizing the confusion, uncertainty, and complexity of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that he's always used to just giving, but wonders if he's still living or if he's just going through the motions.
The lyrics of "Head" are emotionally raw and relatable, as many people can identify with the struggle of being in a draining relationship. The song touches on themes of mental health, emotional exhaustion, and the difficulty of balancing self-care and giving to others. The repetition of the chorus adds to the hypnotic quality of the song, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the singer's experiences.
