The seventh song on reprise is God Moving Over the Face of the Waters.
And God Moving Over the Face of the Waters was originally written in 1994.
It ended up being in the movie Heat at the very end.
I don't want to give it away, but it's at the very end of Heat
by Michael Mann with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
But the original song was on the album Everything is Wrong.
And at that time, I was in the rave scene.
I was a techno musician playing at raves.
And I remember people around me wondering, like,
why are you including a seven-minute-long piece of classical music
on your first album when people want rave tracks?
But this song was always very, very special to me.
I thought it had such a...
I mean, it's hard to talk about my own music this way,
but it had such a beautiful quality to it.
You know, this quality of, like, hope and longing.
And sadness and optimism.
The original song, when I was working on it,
I had this idea, and forgive me if this is a little esoteric,
I had this idea of God, whoever, whatever God might be,
at the beginning of our planet, at the beginning of life,
you know, looking out at the vast pre-primordial sea,
I don't know if it's either primordial sea yet,
but that early sea, and looking at, like,
the building blocks of life,
the amino acids that were going to become cells.
And God, assuming God has omniscience,
understanding everything that was about to happen.
Thinking of all the cells, all the organism, all the life,
all of the joy, all of the excruciating pain,
the births, the deaths, the struggles, the confusion,
you know, God with God's omniscience looking at that.
And that's...
That's...
That's really what the song was inspired by,
is that idea of, you know, this tabula rasa,
this blank slate of earth and ocean,
and God looking at it and knowing what was going to happen.
And, yes, that's what the song's about.
