    "comment": "In the album's liner notes, the sampled vocals are credited to The Shining Light Gospel Choir, supposedly taken from a recording originally made by them in the 1950s. The true source, however, is a 1963 recording of the gospel tune \"He'll Roll Your Burdens Away\" by The Banks Brothers & The Back Home Choir. As Moby told The New York Times, he manipulated the original vocal, \"Why does my heart feel so glad,\" to fit the context of his melancholy tune.\n--\nMoby told Vinyl Me Please in 2017 how he used samples on the album to convey the theme of loneliness, saying: \"I was trying to capture the quality of two lonely people reaching out to each other, or a lonely voice reaching out to a person who's listening. I never wanted to create a record that made somebody feel more lonely, like the voice is pulling away.\"",
