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.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3548854, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3548854/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-04T13:54:24-07:00", "show": 64473, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64473/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "He'll Roll Your Burdens Away", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "The Banks Brothers", "artist_ids": [], "album": "The Banks Brothers and the Greater Harvest Back Home Choir", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Savoy" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "1966-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The Banks Brothers are a pioneering 1950's gospel group led by Jeff and Charles Banks, known for their work with the Mary Johnson Davis Singers and on the Savoy Records label.\n--\nMoby sampled vocals from this song for both \"Why Does My Hear Feel So Bad?\" and \"I'm Not Worried At All.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3548853, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3548853/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-04T13:49:27-07:00", "show": 64473, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64473/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/278ce211-1b2a-4623-bcfb-7ae87d438249/21748630054-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/278ce211-1b2a-4623-bcfb-7ae87d438249/21748630054-250.jpg", "song": "Half Moon", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "66fe6958-2e97-4723-90d9-65ed353cbed8", "artist": "Rufus", "artist_ids": [ "ec6b11b5-d6a6-4c77-af55-8076a160cc94" ], "album": "Rufusized", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "de011fb8-6efb-3e30-a13e-4d77396f2acc", "labels": [ "MCA Records" ], "label_ids": [ "46a3941a-c810-47a1-974f-955effec4d09" ], "release_date": "1974-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "This is Rufus (and Chaka Khan's) wonderful cover of a 1971 Janis Joplin song on her album \"Pearl.\".\n--\nMoby sampled the drums in this song for \"Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?\" and \"Natural Blues.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3548852, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3548852/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-04T13:48:27-07:00", "show": 64473, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64473/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3548851, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3548851/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-04T13:40:34-07:00", "show": 64473, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64473/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-335c481a-7123-44d8-9189-20d6153ad64e/mbid-335c481a-7123-44d8-9189-20d6153ad64e-19971662256_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-335c481a-7123-44d8-9189-20d6153ad64e/mbid-335c481a-7123-44d8-9189-20d6153ad64e-19971662256_thumb250.jpg", "song": "A$AP Forever REMIX", "track_id": "54f4eb83-d448-4864-a9f6-4a00d9631608", "recording_id": "32d0d987-c2c5-45a8-9c65-287563087fc9", "artist": "A$AP Rocky feat.
