I think the vocals are quite neutral in the sense that they probably spark
up very different views and thoughts in people, depending on who's
listening in which mood, life situation etc.
And whilst it is "just a dance tune", good pieces of art seem to give
birth to (good) conversation.
Green Velvet's Preacher Man has a bit similar mood in it, at least with
the lyrics. :)

Look - has Kenny Larkin said anything about believing in any sort of
anything regarding this track?
Listen to the lyrics of it - compare them to any pseudo-spiritual-"we are
all one" type thing in any Deep House tune
it really doesn't sound any different
to me it just sounds like he's sampled someone going on about being one
with the universe and so on - the exact same type of lyrics that have
worked well on dancefloors since the advent of disco
relax about this already peeps - it's just a dance tune

I'm prepared to bet that this new age philosophy-'nonsense' track is at
the very least mildly ironic, even if it does reference a real
organization - I don't know.
Or it could be a completely fabricated joke. It does have an air of
shabbiness to me like some cheaply made video you're invited to order
following one of those 10 minute adverts on cable TV.
You know, the kind of video that is good to watch whilst meandering on
the herbacious border, if you're into that sort of thing.
I can't believe that someone of Mr. Larkin's intelligence, subtlety and
complexity would present this as something de facto representative of
what he really believes. [It takes a twisted mind and perhaps even one
tortured by ambiguity] to be even a half-good comedian imo, and he's
more than that].
I could be wrong. Let's see.

If that's not a return to form for Planet E after some less than
Detroit oriented 12s, then I don't know what would be...
I enjoyed tremendously Dark Comedy's Tellin Lies (original mix,
mayhaps?),
especially with headphones. It was nice to listen to mr Larkin's track
in
the middle, and the two vocal stories going on on each side - "Ma'am!".
:D
As I most likely said previously (a while back), it would be nice to
listen more of the standup comedian -side of his work embedded into the
tracks.
