I feel a little bad putting this in because Moby is so mainstream and this is one of his more famous works. Still, I found out the other day that my self-proclaimed "techno-loving" friend didn't even know who Moby is, so maybe it this will still be new to someone.
"Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" is one of those melancholy unresolving songs that most people would distainfully describe as "emo". Personally, though, I don't feel like it is being melancholy just for the sake of being melancholy--which I think is characteristic of emo--plus it's a very pretty song, so it doesn't phase me. The video component is also very clever--the innocent cartoon appearance masks the underlying tone, plus the character's expressions are very well done. His mouth isn't directly shown, so at times it looks like he is smiling and at other times it looks like he is frowning but you can never quit tell.
