Nineties Revisited: Find My Baby


Original video located here. Accessed 8th March 2019

Song title: Find My Baby

Artist: Moby

Year: 1999

Why I like this song:

As mentioned earlier, i like songs that build and this song is a sterling example. Funny how it starts goofy but then gets increasingly sinister as the song progresses.

I've always imagined this playing in some revenge thriller, where the protagonist is driving across a desert (with or without some unfortunate soul in the boot)
