  • @mick3yhula Only gay comment I see here is yours. Fag.

  • @LambdaLife hahaha tough guy!! :p hooAHH

  • sopranos sent me here

  • I remember being 15 years old, in 1995, listening to this album with my then girlfriend. By the time this song came one, we were both sleeping next to each other on a couch, as the summer sun streamed in through the window. One of those little memories ill never ever forget.

  • @an1m4l That's really beautiful. 

  • @an1m4l I too, have memories like that. I can remember in the summer of 06, I was lying naked in a shower stall at the YMCA with my grandmother, after having taken several doses of acid, when this song started playing. One of those moments you just never forger. RIP Grandma Myrtle. Gone, but not forgotten.

  • @Dechko True man, true!

    watch?v=wwtu7jThDm4

    Btw, the moment I wrote this she wrote to me wishing good luck for tomorrows new job xD

    Have a good one m8! ;D

  • sbubtle lyrics. awsome slow piece..

  • Best Moby track by a mile. Beautiful. Totally agree with kyleluvsDH

  • I love this song cause I would like to die now :( I love my ex girlfriend and I told her that I hate her :S

  • @Dechko mee too man. :(

  • @kanolemaster but hey, life goes on, mate ;)

  • @Dechko Me to. So stupid.

  • @Jockesse there is a little line between love and hate, mate... cheer up, like would beatles say: "Obladi obla da, nanaanan life goes on..." ;) Don't worry be happy, Bobby Mcferring... What can we do? You can't live in a past ;)

  • @Dechko Yeah, i know dude :) And actually, I feel better off without her sometimes. It's just that i miss some part of the great things we shared sometimes. Something i just have to work on. As u said: I can't live in the past :) There is a reason why I brooke up with her.

    Cheers mate! :D

  • @Jockesse sure there is... ex are ex for a reason ;) cheers m8 ;)

  • Jesus this song makes me want to hang myself its that depressing...but its nice all the same lol

  • gotta love moby.....

  • Gradlife Sent Me Here. :)

  • Thumbs up if you didn't find this song from Sopranos.

  • @mutazed

    I found this song from Moby's album "Everything is wrong" album which I bought in 1995 - loved all of it ever since! That and the excellent "Move" EP. Not half bad for a vegan Christian.

  • This song kinda scares me cause it captures how I felt sometimes when I was younger.I didn't want to go on with life cause I was so tired of living.Even though I'm well over my depression this brings me back to those feelings.Beautiful and haunting at the same time.Well done Moby.

  • @aindriu1989

    I'm sorry to say it captures how I've felt all my adult life, since depression set in. I actually discovered the album (and thus this song) the last year I was happy, 1995! Anyway, it is an amazing song, I want to learn how to play/sing it. Anyone know the chords??

  • @ElBerto It's pretty much CM GM FM Am, over and over again.

  • this song is so beautiful and moving... I love it

  • don`t join the party Tony!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • cheer up moby

  • I like this song so much, it resonates with me and makes me cry every time. I remember when I was a teenager by myself coming up with the analogy of life being a constant struggle which I was getting too tired to continue with, like being forced to swim through water constantly just to stay alive, and then I heard this song and it was pretty much about exactly that. One ofthe most imoportand songs in my life.

  • @sheppar You sound like you have depression. I have it extremely bad but control it with drugs. I am attracted to this song too.

  • @castillianwagon500 I know your heart is in the right place, but thats pretty dangerous advice. I think you should sek some manner of professional help. 

  • @otherjr I'm pretty sure they meant prescription drugs!

  • @fairfield101 Still bad advice!

  • @otherjr Not necessarily

  • @fairfield101 Thats exactly my point.

  • @otherjr

    castillianwagon500 never gave advice in that comment. The comment was an observation: "you (sheppar) sound like you have depression," and two personal statements: "I have it extremely bad but control it with drugs. I am attracted to this song too." No advice was given. Also, you seem to have made assumptions about "drugs" without context nor clarification. So, what was your point in saying that it was "pretty dangerous advice"? You now seem to agree that it might not be.

  • I cried... beautiful song... it touched my soul deep deep inside

  • Comment removed

  • sopranos ftw rip tony soprano, shot in the back of the head

  • Best scene in Sopranos!

    GREAT! im watching Sopranos 12-th time whole seasons and i just cant stop!

  • kakva pesma u picku materinu :)))) 10/10

  • god im so depressed..... help me

  • @0GrandOmegaBoss0 I„m depressed too. Fuck this life

  • Beautiful....

  • I bought this on itunes a couple years ago, listened to it and then discovered my dog was dead. true story!

  • Comment removed

  • Love... and always have loved since computer class and Eli France introduced me in 1994... thank you and love3

  • who on earth could not like this? sometimes beauty isnt just something you see

  • Perfectly fitting my mood...

  • As much as I like techno. I wish moby would of went more new age instead. He has a gift for this type of beautiful music. Most of his new stuff is pop sounding and I hated when it came out. :(

  • @dmace81 New album coming out in May i think, lets hope its as good as this stuff!

  • @dmace81

    Do you get the actual albums? Wait For Me and Destroyed have lots of more ambient stuff.

  • Excuse me while i go RIP my heart out :((

    This song is so depressing.....beautiful......­..It's like death.....Does this person wanna die........Maybe suicidal or weary of life.....i need to go bawl my eyes out :((

  • @rochey1010 no the person who made it is just realy artistic, he has an awesome life

  • @eliopoulos97 Oh hi, thanks for the reply...I didn't mean moby.....Sorry, i meant the person in the song being maybe suicidal or fed up of life....You have to be in an awful state to feel what's being sung IMHO but yeah totally agree Moby def seems like a very deep Artistic personality <33

  • I would wish death was this peaceful. I have a feeling it's not.

  • @quidseeker i work in long term care. believe me it's not. not in most cases at least. mostly due to hanging on and not wanting to let go.

  • @quidseeker as long we still have a memory and conscience I'm good.....

  • This song made me cry nonstop for a half hour. It reminded me of my s/o who died six years ago.

  • 4 people are Justin Bieber fans.

  • Moby is fucking awesome all his albums are even all his experimental stuff. So is the sapranos gettin the boxset for xmas haha

  • sopranos (L)

  • If you guys like this song, you would love the song " My weakness" by Moby. That song is one of the most inspirational, beautiful peices of music i've ever heard aside from this of course.

  • incredible

  • am i the only one that loved this song before the Sopranos ever aired?

  • @kyttikhat would you like a prize?

  • @kyttikhat

    Perhaps. If so, does it make you cool? If yes, send me an autograph.

  • @kyttikhat no

  • This song takes me somewhere else, somewhere far away ive never been

  • If you like this try JLTF from Moby as well.

  • @ubhm Great recommendation

  • @ubhm moby usually sucks major nut

  • man they used this tune to perfection in the sopranos

  • Moby is the greatest for 'hair standing on top of the head' music. Check out 'One of these mornings' also.

  • Comment removed

  • It's not depressing it's not suicidal it's about acceptance and letting go.

    I've used it in theatre and it is an extremely resonating piece of music.

    So beautiful.

  • this song inspires me, to spedn every waking moment i can with the people i love,

    to not worry about what could have been, because i do.

    because you cant tell someone you love them, when they cant here you.

    please take this as a message, not to be depressed, but to do what you feel is right. dont regret. push on through the fog and keep trucking through the tide. we dont have to swim the ocean and fight the tide, we dont have to swim forever, but when its cold, id like... to die.

  • Theresa Joan Mary Brooks. RIP.

  • First discovered this on The Sopranos back in the day. Wow. Another haunting epic from Moby.

  • Oh damn, i'm gonna cry. Beautiful Moby track, but then that isn't suprising...the man's a genius.

  • First time listening to this. Now I have goosebumps.

  • sometimes a sad song is what it takes to cheer up someone going through stuff...

  • Wow, what a fantastic song and piece of music so spiritual it even provided the cold shivers up and down my body did any one else feel it.

  • We played this song at one of my friends funeral and rarely i listing to it in my car whenever im thinking bout my life. Its a real good song very haunting indeed

  • great song

  • Just One Word........Beautiful!!!!

  • i am from czech republic,but my dream is to be living at alaskathis song gives me touch of freedom someone here?

  • Still my favourite Moby album (especially 'cause it has a bonus CD of waves). This piece is excellent.

  • Perfectly fitting of the mood of the entire Sopranos series

  • @MissDeeCole Yeah love this song its so deep

  • Fuck, I love this song, so haunting, and sad. I would rate this is my all time top songs, possibly number 1. I don't wanna swim forever.

  • ...

  • this song is so haunting and beautiful. always puts shivers down my spine

  • this song.... is so relaxing and it feels me with sadness at the same time :///// . . .

  • This song expresses my depressed feelings so well. Favorite song, definately.

  • Moby knows how to capture pure emotion, this and Porcelain are amazing emotion filled songs

  • I don't wanna swim the ocean

    I don't wanna fight the tide

    I don't wanna swim forever

    When it's cold I'd like to die

  • Heard this on the Sopranos. How sweet and sad!

  • @memfisman first time hearing it there too

  • @Laugh0rDie Thanks for the lyrics. Has to be one of my favorite songs ever.

  • I listened to this a lot when I thought I had cancer. It didn't make me feel better, but it somehow expressed how I felt perfectly.

  • Amazing

  • Comment removed

  • Sopranos has an amazing soundtrack

  • It's amazing the overwhelming emotion this song gives me. It's comforting, depressing, and beautiful all at the same time.

  • Enmeshed and puzzled by the fabric of a mysterious creating force, my soul crushed like almonds, yet the course of my heart was once on its way to peace.

    What was a desire for success became nothing more than the fear of failure.

    Look into my soul, I am a sinner, a lover and an original saint. We are one.

  • Actually i have suicidal thoughts and i listen to this song everyday.

    It's painful but for some reason i just can't help but listening to it.

    It just means too much to me and its one of the best songs i've ever heard.

    A masterpiece.

  • great song it brings alot of emotions out and makes us realize were only human and life on earth is quite short sopranos brought me here

  • i agree it is so sad

  • this song moved me to tears when it comes in at the end of the sopranos episode where tony is in a coma, perfect for that final scene of him sitting on his hotel bed contemplating his life as he sees it.

    proper fuckin art.

  • @GoinDownToJunkieTown I feel that shit for sure. The "Kevin Finnerty episodes" are some of my favorites. What a great scene, the searchlight, lighthouse in the distance. Shit gives me chills. Probably the best show ever made, next to The Wire and Six Feet Under, and well Twin Peaks. It definitely created the most iconic TV character to date. My wife and I are rewatching the whole series right now, Fucking incredible. I miss those Sunday nights.

  • part of my life thanks

  • i'd like to..

  • Beautiful! Also heard it in Sopranos when it was first shown but forgot till watched this series back.

    Spiller, if it's the one i'm thinking of you're looking for William S. Burroughs - Seven Souls

  • yeah i like this song too.

    but what iam really searching is the opening of season 6. after the policeman is puking out of the car. can anybody help me pls ? :)

  • This was a great scene in Sopranos, classic epic scene when hes looking out the window.

  • Im just looking this song of Sopranos and now Im happy that I find her :)

  • @brcihak

    That's a good episode

  • i dont no what to tell,i feel pain,becase of girl,mayebe tears can help be cool and forever free dixi

  • At this moment in the Sopranos, I felt unexpected emotions while watching a series about the mafia. One could actually feel sorry for Tony.  This was the most beautiful moment of the entire series.

  • @pattipilot Well said brother!!!! a love all the madness the show has to offer but this is trully the point when it grabed me and made me feel madness and sadness inside, so much emotion.

  • The singer is Mimi Goese. She used to be in a band called Hugo Largo! They only made two albums and were very good. Their sound was like this song .

  • oh yes yes yes...after hearing this tune on sopranos ive been dying to find out who done it...cant believe its moby!!! Beautiful

  • waw...rather epic

  • sopranos brought me here as well

  • Sopranos brought me here too.

    Why is it we have to put up with no talent shows like X Factor etc and yet i had never heard this song before.

    There's loads of great songs out there that we never hear

  • love that song!

  • this song will be at my memorial. heavenly, peacefull, sounds like shes being carried away to heaven. not many songs can paint a picture like this one can. very surreal

  • sopranos indeed

  • Sopranos brought me here as well.

    Stunning piece of music.

  • All of Moby's songs are simply Beautiful.

  • i can't find the song on lime wire?

    is this the right title?

  • My Grandmother died recently. I drive semi for a living. I just drove and listened to Moby all day because it brings out certain emotions. Gotta love Moby. So surreal.

  • He makes more music like this. I often get goosebumps if i listen to his flaoty music

  • Comment removed

  • simply awesome.

  • yes, simply and awesome

  • WOW...this is a guy singing this track??

    never would have guessed

  • Comment removed

  • The vocals are by a female, named Mimi Goese, I believe.

  • I think it's Kelli Scarr singing, but I can be wrong

  • No words could sum up how beauitful that is.

  • heard this song through the sopranos. that scene where tony is sitting by the window and looked into the dark skyline, no hint of dawn. such an eloquent moment. the first hint that this was the final season. this song is a hidden gem.

  • I heard this song by the sopranos :D,

    i found this song with my mobile.

  • been watching my way through the sopranos boxset and heard this song, that was about 1am, its now 3am and am still listening to this!!!!! breathtaking.

  • that was about the exact same situation for me. my jaw dropped at that scene. :(

  • haha.  Me too!

  • It's 3 am here, on another day and another week, and I'm having the exact same experience.

  • this song makes me cry every time... Heard it for the first time in Sopranos. So amazing...

  • yey looked 5 mins ago sopranos and heard it there =)

  • love this track one of my faverate one,s of moby :)

  • mody isnt seen for the true artist that he really is

    i think when he dies his work may be seen for the amazing depth that it has

  • its a shame artist gotta die to get that praise

  • Beautiful, haunting. I wouldn't advise anyone suffering with depression or suicidal thoughts to listen to this piece.

  • TOO LATE! HAH! see what I did there?

  • @lochmartin

    too late....

  • @lochmartin i am all of those things and ya i just wanna do it right now

  • @lochmartin Are you joking? It is a great song but I think listening to something like this while someone was contemplating suicide might just push them over the edge. It makes me sad and reflective when I'm in a good frame of mind, who knows what it might do to a depressed person.

  • @buzzNact i'm depressed like alot and this song acually gives me comfort like a companion in the night.....

  • @symbolicalcohalic Give up the durgs/alcohol my brother. I feel your pain...trust me.

  • @symbolicalcohalic Fuck I've been there just try not to embrase the depression itself, otherwise it will keep itself going. It can be hard but it will be fine.

  • @lochmartin I personally think depression music heals us when we are in that state
