    For me, I think that 'Love is the message' is the ultimate cool down track... You've been taken higher and higher... Then this drops... A time to re-connect with all that's happening! Larry, Frankie, Ron Hardy would use this as a bridging point, bring some love back in the room... Let's move on... Upward, Upward, Higher and Higher...
