Description“Rushing” is the sixth track of American musician Moby’s studio album Play, released on May 17, 1999 through V2 Records.

It’s one of the six pure instrumentals those can be found on the record.

It is composed by three essential components: the constant, slow and funky-like percussions; the occasionally sampled female vocals; some echoing piano chords.

In the first part (from the start, until 0:22), only the first two elements are present; then (from 0:23 to 1:18), Moby starts playing some simple chords, whose sound is expanded by applying some effects; from 1:19 to 2:04, they become complete and evocative major keys, those Moby keeps playing even when the percussions end up reducing to the only hi-hat (from 2:05).
So, the track gives the listener an extremely soothing and inspiring vibe, a bit reminiscent of a previous song on Play: “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?”, that had a gloomier tone.
