From the album 18 (2002)
“In This World” by Moby appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2002. It was first released in 2002 on the album 18. Its best result is #79 on the Live 105 Top 105.3 Songs of 2002. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #535 alternative song of 2002.
"In This World" was the third single from 18, Moby's sixth studio album, and it came out on November 4, 2002, reaching number 35 in the UK. The credits make it nearly a one-man job, Moby writing, playing, engineering and mixing it himself with Jennifer Price credited on vocals, but its most prominent voices are borrowed: the track leans on samples of the Davis Sisters' "Lord Don't Leave Me".
The video, directed by Style Wars, is a sweet sight gag. Three little aliens and their dog-like pet fly a saucer from their asteroid to New York, only to find the humans so enormous that nobody notices them. Moby plays the one man who does, and he walks away. Back home they build a giant sign that says hello, and the story carries on in the video for "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)".
