- Musician Moby filmed a music video for his song "Porcelain" off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia, fulfilling a long-held wish.

American musician, DJ, and producer Moby has fulfilled a personal wish by filming a music video for his hit song "Porcelain" along the Croatian coast. While sailing near Dubrovnik, Moby captured footage for his own version of the iconic song's video, a track famously featured in the 2000 film "The Beach."
It seems like everyone in the world has shot a video for 'Porcelain' on the ocean or the sea, but I never have.
Moby explained in the video that while many have filmed "Porcelain" at sea, he had never done so himself. "Since I'm in beautiful Croatia, I decided to finally film my own," he said. The resulting video intersperses shots of Moby on a boat with stunning views of the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the rocky Dalmatian coastline, all set to the song's recognizable melody.
Since I'm in beautiful Croatia, I decided to finally film my own.
The artist is currently on his first European tour in over a decade, which included a sold-out concert at Pula Arena just days before the video was shared. The song "Porcelain," released in 2000, became a global hit, partly due to its prominent role in "The Beach," a film that forever linked its atmosphere to idyllic beaches and clear seas, inspiring countless fans to create their own video versions.
Only love and respect for an artist whose music has touched generations. Seeing you here, surrounded by the beauty of Croatia, is truly a special feeling. Welcome, Moby.
Moby's decision to film in Croatia has resonated with fans and official Croatian channels. The official "Croatia" profile welcomed him, stating, "Only love and respect for an artist whose music has touched generations. Seeing you here, surrounded by the beauty of Croatia, is truly a special feeling. Welcome, Moby." Local fans also expressed their connection, with one commenter humorously noting, "Where are you, Moby, old house?" Another Croatian user shared, "As a Croat, I listen to this song every time I'm at sea, and I truly believe no song captures the feeling of enjoying the sea better than 'Porcelain.'"
As a Croat, I listen to this song every time I'm at sea, and I truly believe no song captures the feeling of enjoying the sea better than 'Porcelain.'
