Moby ‘Best Of’ - Interview

Q28: "We Are All Made Of Stars" is a very beautiful track. Can you tell us a little bit about it?

MOBY: Well, "We Are All Made Of Stars" was the last song made for "18". I'd basically finished the record and I was just having fun playing music in my studio and that song came out of it and it's a hard song to describe, because what it's actually about is so nerdy that there's no way I can describe it and not be annoyingly nerdy.

It's a song about the material which 99% of the universe is comprised, because on the periodic table of elements, all of the elements, all the matter in the universe, apart from, I think, carbon and helium, come from the furnace of a star, so the truth is, quite literally, on a quantum level, all the matter that comprises everything that we are and everything we're surrounded with does in fact come from stars, so "We Are All Made Of Stars" was me being a science nerd, writing a pop song about quantum mechanics.
