I still get chills thinking about if Michael hadn’t turned this song down when Pharrell and The Neptunes pitched it to him—the world have gone INSANE then, and it would be one of his overall Top 10 songs. Justin was the next obvious choice, but you can hear Michael...

One of the things that makes the ending of Heat so powerful is its music—Moby's "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters." At the time, Moby was relatively unknown, yet Michael Mann somehow discovered the obscure track and decided it was perfect for the final scene. Moby explains: “Let’s get in our little time machine and go back to 1994. I was part of the rave scene, and I was making my first album, Everything Is Wrong. One of the songs—in fact, the last song on the album—that I was desperate to include was "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters." It could arguably be the strangest song ever included on what was supposed to be a dance album. There are no drums and nothing overtly electronic about it. When I was working on it and mixing it, I fell in love with it almost more than anything I’d ever done. So I put it on the album, and it sat there at the end, largely ignored. But somehow, and I still don’t know how, Michael Mann heard it and wanted to use it in this movie he was working on called Heat, with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, on and on and on. This real movie. I was baffled. How does Michael Mann know who I am? How does Michael Mann know about this piece of music? But I said yes, of course. It was such an amazing opportunity. This major Hollywood director knew who I was and wanted to use my music. They flew me to Los Angeles and put me in a professional studio to tailor “God Moving” to the closing scene of the film. Until then, I had only ever worked in my homemade studio in an abandoned loft building in New York… One of the most terrifying professional moments of my life came when someone told me, “Michael Mann wants to talk to you.” And I was like, “Can’t he just leave me alone? I’m terrified. I don’t want to talk to humans.” I thought, “Okay, Michael Mann is going to call me, and it’s going to be scary, but I can deal with it because I’m a big boy.” The phone rang, I picked it up, and Michael Mann talked for about 45 minutes. He talked about archetypes within the film, classical narrative elements and tropes. It was like he gave me this masterclass in what Heat was about, and then just hung up the phone. And then it came out, and to hear the music that I’d made against this phenomenal, beautiful scene—it really was special. I’m thrilled that, 30 years later, people are still discovering the film and “God Moving Over the Face of the Waters.” Spoiler warning: The clip below contains the ending of Heat. If you haven't seen the film, don't watch past the first 30 seconds. The music doesn't begin until about a minute into the scene.
