My Weakness (3:37)

Cover of Play

From Play and 9 other releases

“I never expected anyone to ever listen to this song. It was tagged on to the end because I love music that’s equal parts disconcerting and beautiful — you can get caught up in a sense of beauty, but also it’s unsettling. It’s why I like a lot of late 19th Century classical music like Debussy’s “Prélude à l’après-midi d’un Faune” ̬ I know it’s beautiful but it also makes me feel uncomfortable. “My Weakness” is such a strange piece of music. There’s no drums and it’s this odd African choir loop — I sampled it 12 years ago, I don’t remember what it’s from. What was most gratifying for me when Play became successful was when people liked the more obscure songs. Gillian Anderson used “The Sky Is Broken” in an X-Files. I was so flattered that someone had listened to the whole record.” - Moby (rollingstone.com)

    X-Files? This song in the end of Earthlings is devastating and heartbreaking.

    The scene when Mulder re-enconters with his sister in the "closure" episode on X-File is one of the most beautiful scenes I've seen
