My introduction to this song was in the movie HEAT. I love this song so much and never grow tired of hearing it.
Heat was my introduction as well. It is a simple yet powerful song. And a beautiful movie.
What’s crazy it was introduced to me in my 5th grade graduation with a short video as a goodbye
Same😎👍
Yup.... that version and the way it closes out that movie is classic, fits so perfectly
Chills.
My youngest son had unexpectedly died at the age of 31. His big brother picked this song to be played at his funeral as his casket was being brought in, it is a beautiful moving piece. And I am so thankful that it was played at my sons funeral. The song brings me peace. Thank you
I’m so sorry to hear your youngest son has passed away, and you older son has impeccable music taste. 😢 🪦
I cannot find a more fitting song for someone to be put to rest. I'm sorry for your loss, may your love grow through your grief. ❤
🙏❤️
nice choice ....
This song played on Day 10 of my drive from North Carolina to Alaska. Exhausted, I looked to my left and saw the magnificent Wrangell Mountain range and immediately burst into tears. Thank you for providing a soundtrack to my adventures.
It's intriguing to see 'God' through music. Not a visual image, but an emotional impression of something wondrous.
This is my all-time favorite piece of music. It is what I imagine heaven to sound like.
Hey man, I’ve listened to this song so many times I’ve lost count. It’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t state how beautiful it is with words. Whenever I leave this place I’ve told the people who’ll send me off that this is the tune they should play. Thank you so much.
💛
Best Moby single for me. Reprise version of it is also very very very very good.
Just reconnected with this song again through the movie Grand Turismo. My goodness, such a perfect alchemy of elevated cinematic direction + musical genius. Oh, the tears! Thank you for such great work Moby 🙏🏿
This track/piece changed my life. I first heard it in 2005 when I was working at a hostel bar, and it played on loop for weeks after, to the discontent of many a patron. I didn't care.
It's been my go-to music for getting through hard times, and also as a celebration of all God represents.
Thank you, Moby. ❤
Tears come to my eyes every time I hear this song. Every single time. 💙
I've been home since August fighting cancer (I'm now healed!) I found your music and fell in love with this song especially. Like you, I listened and cried with emotion. I felt the beginning, His thoughts, the majesty and power of the sea in the violins. It moved me deeply.
In the 90s I wrote a paper in college comparing Genesis and Evolution. It was eye opening and fascinated me. I've never heard anyone else mention this until today. Amazing.
Thank you for your music 😊
Moby - Everytime you touch me . I REMEMBER AND STILL LISTEN TO IT! Awesome track! LORD bless you Moby!!
This song hits me so powerfully. Thank You Moby for seeing this song through to its fruition!
This song has meant so much to me for so many years. It would always take me to a place of beauty & calm when everything was chaos in my life. I loved hearing how the song came to be, I’m so glad the meaning is as profound as I thought it might be. ❤️🙏🏽
Moby, I appreciate you and love you since you were a DJ .... and even more since you wrote your music !! I am a huge fan and love it when you explain your thoughts, your emotions and how you create your wonderful music.🙏😌😍🤩💖🥰💝 Congratulations and thank you so much, Moby. 💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😊🌹❤😍
Hi Catherine
I have listened to this very song since its initial release close to over a thousand times and as crazy as this seems I have also envisioned the earth in its very moment of physical creation by the hand of the all mighty.. I've looked up that very same verse in the book of Genesis and i've read it over and over and to this day there's nothing more powerful and moving to me than this very scripture and this beautiful song. - thanks for reading.
One of the greatest pieces of music ever written!
Love from Canada 🇨🇦 Moby thank you so much for this song 🎵 to me this song feels like a spiritual awakening I wish you happiness for you and your family 👪
I am just in love with the “Heat” ending version. It differs from original. But it is powerful and grandiose. Great streams of Being are coming through me when I am listening to this piece of music.
How does it differ?
.....I am so pleased with Moby's spiritual independence. Be yourself, do Good for all life on the planet and You are 'God.'
he seems humbled ny his own insight....
I remember being a little kid hearing Moby’s music for the first time, it was mind-blowing!👏🏾
Which was a track?
yes!!!
Moby, that was a spiritual experience that you had. God was showing you that HE IS REAL.
My favourite Moby song. Have listened to I probably thousands of times over almost 30 years, never tire of it. It is special.
What he described, his intent and conceptual vision is exactly what I’ve always seen and felt in my mind when I’ve played this song. It’s astounding what he envisioned and created translated through this song and into my (and perhaps many others) mind. And this orchestral piece is so so amazing - a masterpiece.
This is one of my fav in Reprise. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. We have com from the Light , to it we shalll return. I love you.
Thank you for these. This is one of the greatest songs written and these snippets of how you do what you do is just fantastic
I love you Moby 💗
I know you may never read this, and that's OK, but I just wanted to thank you for all your music. It has been a big part of my 'life soundtrack" and I will forever remember being in the audience at one of your concerts. Moltes gracies !
I think that Crescendo moment Rich talks about is a moment of clarity we have a few times in our times that feels like this "Birth" and it´s really amazing, and to feel it by something you did is more rare and even more amazing!. It´s a timestoping feeling created in a moment that only music is an almost methaphisic field capable of creating it.
Love from Ireland love your music it touches my soul 🤗🇮🇪🙏🙌🌀🌬
Hello
Shout out from Belfast.
It's a remarkable piece of music. Profound, intricate and moving. Utterly, utterly wonderful and life-changing.
Brother you know who He is ! I love this masterpiece. However this was a marvelous description who He is! He gave you that I totally believe it! Bless you! I love your music your creative talent and inspiration! Be blessed my friend! Love the new single! Just downloaded it today!
Its only one live version of this song ..avalible in the world.
Its one of my all time favorite of all music...
I like the new version
But the original has the key crash before the step ... And the Angels voices are Just Perfect ... Must be played loud
I wish I could have heard this live ... The crash of those footsteps ... And the release of life before the next step .... Amazing
Moby it was this song that (Defined the best of Electronic music. For me)
18 albulm is Boss
Play is Boss as well ...
Rushing was on replay for years 😊
Thanks for sharing your vision
Beautiful explanation of a beautiful song. I did a rave with you back in the early 90s in Toronto, you showed grace. Now I think you understand where that comes from.
Dear Richard,(Moby), so good to know about this music, from one of my fav Moby songs/music (God moving over the face of waters) .. keep it up, always good wishes for good music, peace.
🌈❤️🕊️
"A guy once told me to not get attached to any thing you aren't willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat when you feel the heat around the corner"
Omg! A master piece! As usual Moby! It was a nice story! Thanks for sharing! 🤍✨
Thank you very much for being a big fan. I am taking my time to appreciate some of my fans with my private here on RUclips and you are lucky one. I hope you are staying safe during this pandemic. Thank you, so much love from❤️ Moby❤. Thanks for supporting. You can relate with me privately on my email hangout at mobyprivate1@gmail.com
Makes me cry too but so beautiful and inspiring at the same time.
I put this with Love like a Sunset by Phoenix
The version with unkle is the one i heard first...it sooths my soul and i have danced to it in some unusual places that are such great memories created! I once got free tickets to see moby and one of the best magical syncronicities in my life, i also was introduced to unkle separately and then i heard this... 😂🎉❤🎉
Hey moby, hey everyone!
Im in ❤️ with mobys music.
"told you I'm never going back"
what is that phrase from??
@@Ilegator "Heat" it has this excellent song on its soundtrack.
@@dafunkester Ohh true! I watched the film because of this amazing song. Didn't regret it.
@@Ilegator yea, Michael Mann always have a brilliant music & songs in his films. Literally in every film/TV he made.
I found my self reading the bible in Argentina while listening to this song, and now hearing from your words the song's background, everything makes sense. Thank you Moby for your willing to the Divine
Congratulations. I too have started crying. Peace and Love on Earth. From one Virgo to another Virgo.
This music is one of the greatest works done by humanity. It will be written in history.
I had an experience with this song. I didn't know Moby had remembered the ancient Jewish story about the Genesis of life.
I remember buying Everything is Wrong as CD, popping into my car expecting techno or rave, and driving when God Moving Over The Face of Waters came on. I had to stop and listen. Tears were streaming down my cheek. Everything I saw was brighter and deeper and more intimate than anything I'd ever experienced. I saw no old man or bright light in clouds; I heard no tyrant or scripture; I felt no pain. I felt the Divine prescence manifested through this song. Its spirit descended on everything around me. The spirit commanded my attention and raised me up, up above my small body in that litte car, up to its magnificient beauty, the glorious beauty of life all around me, all the people, the birds, the sky ... The tears wouldn't stop, and I cried out -- to let the Divine spirit pass over or overwhelm me; to take me or leave me, eitherway let it end. The song ended, and the echoes of the Divine spirit drifted away. I dried out my eyes and watery nose and could drive again. I'd learned to not play this song while driving 🥲. And despite bumps in the road that I had with a religious cult and then atheistic college, I still believe in the Divine spirit. Amazing that my experience sounds like how Moby imagined the spirit moving in Genesis, and it also brought him to tears. Moby manifested the Divine spirit by sharing this song with us. Music like this is a glorious experience! 🙏
Thank you Moby for this orchestral Reprise. 🙏
Hi Moby, one of the best songs ever written.
Thank You for your refreshing communications Musically & Verbally long may you run.
Inspiring! 🙏🏻 :)
i think we all appreciate your honesty no matter what our opinion of you as an artist
I remember the first time hearing that I was like whoa, who is that?!!! And then I heard it again and saw Moby I was mesmerized, it brought tears to my eyes. The title alone was amazing and then to see the artist. I have followed Moby ever since and never disappointed. There is a depth to his being. Thanks to the connection he creates bringing us together in the love of who he is as well as who we are in a deeper understanding.
Hi jenny
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
The best song I've heard in my life until now :) So sensitive, deep, inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you very much for being a big fan. I am taking my time to appreciate some of my fans with my private here on RUclips and you are lucky one. I hope you are staying safe during this pandemic. Thank you, so much love from❤️ Moby❤. Thanks for supporting. You can relate with me privately on my email hangout at mobyprivate1@gmail.com
One of my favorites.
I love that during the interview he comments on a dog that’s barking. Anybody else would’ve said “damn dog! “ Instead he says “poor dog”. What a kind person
Moby's music is like love moving to the center of our hearts
This just might be my favourite piece of music. It is so mesmerizing, enchanting and enthralling while also being soothing to the soul.
I really love it.
One of my all time favorite musical pieces. ALL VERSIONS of it
Thanks for your music!
When I hear this song, it reminds me of the events both beautiful and tragic of one’s life and a Timelapse of history.
I've always loved this track.
Love it even more now.
Hi moby i became your fan cuz my dad had your dvd play and i watched it over and over again, all the videos (my favorite is spiders) and the extras of that talking fish i love, thank God you got that record deal. Just wanted to say that since i was little and not knowing anything about life i tought you were one of the greatest and now grown and melomaniac i confirm that, felt the need to share it with you 💖
Moby i can’t thank you enough! Not only is this album a masterpiece, it also really opens the door to end nonsense about all tech music fans being chemical freaks….You Sir are a GODsend 💐
It’s a Beautiful Song, so Powerful & Touching.
One of the masterpieces of my life.
One of my favorite songs!
Thanks Moby,
I really like the Aaronic Orchestra Version as my Best Friend passed away and his name is Aaron.
Beautiful Music and Thanks ❤✝️
God bless you, moby! Wish You all the happiness and the best health in the world and to keep bringing and sharing Your genius with us!
One of my favorite songs. ❤
That brilliant tune you made is such a blessing to us all. Its my funeral song 🎵. Thank you very much. God bless .
Like many people brought to this track by HEAT it hits us in the heart and soul. I love the reprise version and the movie version where there's that beginning as Vincent is closing in on Neil that isn't heard on any other version...
I think iv listened to this song more than anyone else, but I reckon so does everyone else that gets this song.I remember falling in love with it, then watching an amazing movie and thinking wouldn't god moving over the face of the waters go with this film. Honestly, I genuinely was thinking this so imagine my shock at the end of this movie.
thanks for you music!! Moby. from Argentina.👍
Thanks for story behind this wonderful song. Brings me to tears when I hear. Very powerful.
Also, really surprised there aren't more subscribed. Moby is one hell of a talented artist.
Moving Over Everyone And Every Beautiful moment ,🙂✝️❤️
God most certainly exists, or His creative power in this extraordinary music piece.
Hi Moby) will you make a concert in Russia someday? We waiting for you man)
Wow it would be great to see Moby in St Petersburg with an orchestra playing some of his most beautiful compositions. What a great idea Raf bak....I hope one day Moby considers ths and the option is there for hm to do it.
He has nothing to do in your cattle country, clean up..
@@HealFireOne take it easy Chicken
@@trips.bylove 🎶👁️👃👁️🎵
Really, Moby! Came to sr Petersburg. I'm only 23, and i know about u, and I like your creation
This song is a masterpiece.
I absolutely love this and don’t know how I’ve missed it. Moby, thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I’ve purchased every album you’ve produced and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve even made a compilation of a lot of your instrumental songs and I call it Insomnia Cure. I’ve shared it with like 10 others but some of the songs are so soothing and relaxing that most people that listen to it can’t get past song 3. 😅 I introduced your music to my 11 year old son when he picked up a passion for piano and he was very happy to hear your song at the end of the Gran Turismo! He’s currently trying to learn it by ear! Thank you Moby!
Heat is one of my Favorite Movies & God Moving Over the Face of the Waters is Simply a classic. i watch Heat often & love the ending of De Niro & Pacino @ LAX.
I found this video after so many years enjoying this wonderful track. It's thrilling to discover that the same thoughts which always came to me on hearing the music, provided him with the name. 👍
Interisting, thanks for sharing♥️
Wow , listening to an orchestra perform this song I can see the sky open up and the angels come down .
Then Brother you gave me that exact impression with this song. The way you describe your song is the exact way I interpreted it. Absolutely profound and beautiful I can't tell you enough. God spoke through you. God speaks through his creation. Absolutely beautiful bro! For all these years that's what I have pictured. Amazing. It's a beautiful proof if you ask me.
I first encountered "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters" via the movie "HEAT" but the title of the piece always intrigued me, too. I am very grateful for this explainer. I listen to "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters" frequently.
I just have to say how meaningful this song is to me and how wonderful your description is for the song.
One of my favourite songs ever!! Thanks you so much Moby!! 🙏🙏🙏
All of the Beauty of this Experience ❤️✝️
It is extremely rare that pieces like this come out of nowhere, they are so unbelievably good that one gets the impression that they are not from this world.
Everything about these songs is just right: the soul, the bass line, the mix, the arrangement, the vocals - everything. They take you into another world, let you forget everyday life for a moment, no matter how dark it may be.
These pieces have a spirit that makes that possible.
And I'm thankful to be able to find such rare gems here, because compared to these dreamlike tracks, what's in the charts is absolute rubbish....
Tracks like this are so much more than just music - they are a spirit, another level, an attitude to life, they have their own soul.
If you really fully engage with Tracks like this, it can take you into other realms and give you a different perspective on things.
Music like this will not disappoint you if you fully commit to it...
Thank you for this incredibly beautiful and fascinating track!!
Thank you for your vision and for his masterpiece! And for sharing story about how this song created.
Everytime I listen to this song I get taken back to the first time I watched Heat and this song started playing at the end of the movie and seeing Pacino holding De Niro hand before his soul has left him.
I heard this song playing on The Weather Channel's local on the 8's back in 2006. I never knew what the name of it was until years later when I looked through online forums. I'm so glad I can listen to this on repeat.
Great story. It will always remind me of the end sequence shot at LAX at the end of Michael Mann's movie, "Heat".
i think i have a similar postion on religion to you. im happy because i felt that god so strongly in this song and dont have to define them. just light and love
Thank you for sharing Richard....Respect from the Republic of Ireland..👍🇮🇪
Wow ...😳
Siempre excelente !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Beautiful inspiring🙏🙏🙏
Mr Moby how this song brought me to a moment in my life in lake Tahoe as a teen in a cloudy day listening to that very song and watching the clouds part , and light peering through as fingers touching the surface of the lake and land... thank you❤
Also God is dog backwards and I think his barks were him approving lol
This song it’s a brilliant., first time and each times when I listen it I feel universe and hove all life is create in this world
Thank you for all this! Hope to see you again in Ukraine
Thank you Moby for being an emotional witness. I support your cause. ❤️🙏🏻📌Ysëe
Moby man, you have done so much for the music of our generation that you could be compared to the greatest rockers of 60-70, translating into our times
