Moby: Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? (Reprise Version)

This is the second collaboration between Moby and Steve Cutts that I've seen. In their previous collab, Cutts' amazing animation took over the whole music video, while Moby's song wasn't exactly one of his best. But here, Moby is back with a strong track, and while Cutts once again delivers incredible animation, I feel like the music video is really led by the song this time.

Of course, Cutts' animation is still stellar. In this piece, he blends different visual and animation styles to depict humanity's harmful and selfish behavior-and its consequences for animals and nature. This theme is very typical of Cutts.

I'm so glad that Moby and Steve Cutts could combine their forces and ideas to bring up this masterpiece, especially 'cause thematically their works are quite similar. It keeps the same depressing vibe from their previous work for the purpose of one mission: alert us of where we're heading to and for what cost? It also seemed to be slightly more positive than most of Steve's and Moby's past works, because yes, we need to be more optimistic and act for a better future.

The vocals are superb, and Moby's music does never fail to touch us, and Steve's art ranges from sth minimalistic to sth realistic full of details and shadows, the man simply nails the principle of contrast.
