Lift Me Up Video (MV)




"Lift Me Up" is a song by American electronica musician Moby. It was released as the first single from his seventh studio album, Hotel (2005), on February 28, 2005.


Moby claims to have written the song in 2004 after the re-election of President George W. Bush, adding that it reflected his consideration to emigrate to Canada in protest.[citation needed] Moby has stated that the theme of the song is about the rise of global intolerance and fundamentalism.

The word "Ama" in the chorus ("lift me up, higher now, Ama"), that was often misheard and vastly misinterpreted, was meant to sound like a name of an unspecific deity. According to Moby, it was based on the "ah" sound that commonly appears in the names of God in many languages.

This song originally was to be sung with The Sisters of Mercy's singer Andrew Eldritch and is partly inspired by that band's material.

The female vocal solo in the bridge is performed by singer Shayna Steele

It achieved success in many countries, including Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, and Spain, where it was a top ten hit..

Moby - Lift Me Up Lyrics




Plain talking (plain talking)
Take us so far (take us so far)
Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Like strung out old stars (like strung out old stars)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Served us so well (served us so well)
Traveled through hell (traveled through hell)
And oh, how we fell (oh, how we fell)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Push me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Push me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama

Plain talking (plain talking)
Making us bold (making us bold)
So strung out and cold (so strung out and cold)
I'm feeling so old (feeling so old)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Has ruined us now (has ruined us now)
You never know how (you never know how)
Sweeter than thou (sweeter than thou)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Push me up, lift me up
Higher, now Ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Push me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now, Ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher, now Ama

Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
(Feeling so bored)
Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
(Feeling so bored)

Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
(Feeling so bored)
Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
(Feeling so bored)
Lift me up, lift me up (oh, la, la, la, la)
(Feeling so bored)
