Indietro tutta. Last Night è un chiaro omaggio alle sonorità disco degli anni '80, e ciò si constata in tutte le tracce dell'album, nessuna esclusa. Ogni brano trapela spirito disco da tutti i pori, quello di apertura, Ooh Yeah, è forse l'esempio più emblematico di (ri)avvicinamento ad un genere rispolverato e riportato in auge dopo trent'anni, lo stesso vale per i pezzi a seguire, tra i quali spiccano senz'altro I'm in Love, la famosa Disco Lies e The Stars, unite tutte da una onnipresente verve di evidente ascendente dance. Dietro Last Night si cela un'anima frizzante, giocosa, elettrizzante, ma sarebbe una blasfemia paragonare l'album in questione ad una vetta musicale come Play. L'era Play è purtroppo andata a farsi benedire, senza possibilità di successivi replay (mi si scusi il gioco di parole). Infatti per Moby, da Hotel, si è prospettato, ahilui, una fase di luna calante da cui sarà molto difficile riprendersi. Ma, diciamocelo, per gli amanti del genere Last Night non può che essere una chicca molto preziosa. E quindi, nel complesso, supera la prova, senza cadere nel già sentito pur nella difficile ripresa di un genere, quello disco, che ha costituito un pilastro nella musica elettronica mainstream a partire dagli anni '80 sino ai giorni nostri.

My head keeps turnin' turnin'
Like Russian roulette
Thoughts are like bullets
I cannot do this
Do this, do this, do this (x2)
Do this (x11)

How do I feel like?
Alright probably going home
Gonna make it the same
Gonna make it my love time
My love time (x2)

Cause this
Is the right world
This is the wrong world
This is the one world
This is the dark world
This is the sun world
This is the sun world
Can you become girl here
In the fun world?

How do I feel like?
Alright probably going home
Gonna make it the same
Gonna make it my love time
Make it my love time

Psychosomatic
Imagine shadows swooping
And mirrors cracking
The shudders was a trappin

High
Rapid up on the mirror
I'm jealous chemically
Imbalance into my channel

Tracking through
The heart of the devil
My thoughts are spinnin'
From brellas
To higher levels
Severed from your lovin'
I'm troublin'
To talk to no one
And no one told
There's no one

With padded rooms
Like a sofa
They told me
It's for my
My voices on my shoulder
Plan it
Let the vultures divulgin'
To keep revolvin' the spot
Works on my focus
My culture
But no one knows it

This is why I focusin'
Mostly upon my?
Not 'till you corporate
I'ma lead up
While you notice
Walking across the ocean
Makes no super

How do I feel like?
Alright probably going home
Gonna make it the same
Gonna make it my love time
My love time

Cause this
Is the right world
This is the wrong world
This is the one world
This is the dark world
This is the sun world
This is the sun world
Can you become girl here
In the fun world?

Mix it up
With the alpha hits
I'm smokin' trees
I like the way you movin'

My head keeps
Turnin', turnin'
Like Russian roulette
Thoughts are like bullets
I cannot do this
Do this, do this (x2)

How do I feel like?
Alright probably going home
Gonna make it the same
Gonna make it my love time
My love time (x2)

Cause this
Is the right world
This is the wrong world
This is the one world
This is the dark world
This is the sun world
This is the sun world
Can you become girl here
In the fun world?

How do I feel like?
Alright probably going home
Gonna make it the same
Gonna make it my love time
My love time (x2)

Cause this
Is the right world

This is the sun world
This is the sun world

You said you want me… that was just a lie (just a lie)
Just a lie (just a lie)
You said you love me… that was just a lie (just a lie)
Just a lie (just a lie)

All I needed was someone who would keep me warm at night
You tried it baby, it didn't work
And now I know that this is gonna be the end

Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
But you lied, But you lied!

You said you need me… that was just a lie (just a lie)
Just a lie (just a lie)
You said the truth once… that was just a lie (just a lie)
Just a lie (just a lie)

All I needed was someone who would keep me warm at night
You tried it baby, it didn't work
And now I know that this is gonna be the end


Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
But you lied, But you lied, But you lied!

Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
But you lied, But you lied!


All I needed was someone who would keep me warm at night
You tried it baby, it didn't work
And now I know that this is gonna be the end


Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
But you lied, But you lied, But you lied!


Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
But you lied, But you lied! But you lied!

Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
Oh, But you lied!
But you lied, But you lied! But you lied!

 Last Night è una festa delle medie a cui non t’hanno invitato o non ci sei andato perché avevi Judo oppure eri dal logopedista.

 Mi rimane il cruccio di ben 4 tracce consecutive inutili, se Moby la piantasse di fare tanto l’amico della terra e si impegnasse a colorare di tamarro il mondo gli sarei molto grato.
