Ask me again
I'll take my chances
I don't know how to begin
You can't understand
I've got no answers
I can't explain where I've been
I should've known better
I should've known by now
I should've known better
I should've known by now
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight
I can't go back
I can't imagine
Starting all over again
Try to relax
Get no reaction
There's just no way to pretend
I should've known better
I should've known by now
I should've known better
I should've known by now
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel all right
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight
And I feel so free
Yeah, I feel alright
Never thought I'd feel
Like I feel tonight

So can anyone tell me why the windows are always positioned so low that only kids can see out of them? I'm not freakishly tall (6"2") but I need to bend myself in half to look out an airplane window! I'm guessing structural reasons. Windows are probably popped into the fuselage at a point where they will not weaken already consumed surface area: luggage bins, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring in the overhead; cargo, checked baggage, and more pipes/wires/stuff below deck; and all the rivets necessary to hold the airplane's ribs to the skin. |

They do this is by compressing outside air and forcing it into the aircraft cabin. The increased pressure of this compressed air can create a force against the inside of the aircraft cabin, and windows, of up to around 8 pounds per square inch. The greater the surface area of a window, the greater the force of the cabin air pressure pushing against it and, consequently, the greater the likelihood of breaking out a window. By decreasing the surface area of the window, aircraft designers decrease the possibility of rupturing a window and losing cabin pressure. The size and shape of the windows can also weaken the fuselage structure. The first British jet airliner, the de Havilland Comet, began to experience sudden crashes from high altitude. After many tests, the engineers discovered that the large windown with square corners could cause a fatigue crack to develope in the sharp corner of the window. Fatigue was an unknown science at that time. They redesigned the windows to make the smaller with large round corners and the aircraft didn't have any more dramatic crashes. (And the exact size? regulations, obviously) Good answer. So can anyone tell me why the windows are always positioned so low that only kids can see out of them?

| kingfish2004 (That GREAT country of Texas!) | Posted: Sep 29, 2008 - 17:41 nice, smooth and calming. Just what I needed right now... |
| eerovond | Posted: May 26, 2008 - 12:50 I have to say I love this song. I think Adam Schlesinger is a genius at crafting great pop songs, wheter its Foutains of Wayne or his various soundtracks. I added this song to a number of iPod mixes-never expected to hear it on RP, but I have to say another example of digging deep for great music. |

In the event of a window blowout, the size is related to the average size of an adult (male most likely) to prevent the body from being sucked out of the plane. |

Pretty repetitive background strings. Ahh, freedom in conformity. Scary. |

Hmmm sounds a lot like tonight, where we went from Neko Case - Star Witness to U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name to Ivy - Feel So Free... *plays omnious music* |
| perikleshokie (Raleigh,NC) | Posted: Jan 14, 2007 - 05:35 First heard this on RP a couple of months back. Got a hold of a couple of Ivy album - several outstanding songs in the genre. I love this vocal style ("breathiness" and all). Sort of sexy. Now a staple on my Sansa player. Thanks RP for turning me on to something I'd never have found elsewhere. |

They definetly fit, the first few measures of the intro however do not match, stick with the acoustic. |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Oct 04, 2006 - 00:18 I'm thinking about Hooverphonic here... |

| Verpeiler | Posted: Jun 28, 2006 - 04:53 boring with a nice cover. |
| squidish (under the sea) | Posted: Jun 23, 2006 - 11:58 Do our ratings actually have any effect on what is played on RP, or are we just engaged in clicky clicky busywork? Just curious? |
| effba (Land O Lakes, FL, USA) | Posted: Jun 23, 2006 - 11:56 Feels so free... feels so right... but obviously not feeling well enough to be up to the task of actually SINGING!!  |

| chicurlygirl (chicago, illinois) | Posted: Mar 07, 2006 - 09:11 The whole album is great - but yes, Thinking About You is a particularly wonderful track. Also addictive: Tess Don't Tell and Four in the Morning. First heard them on WXRT's new music show when driving into the city one night; went online and bought the album that evening. mikedill wrote: I could probably listen to a station that played nothing but Ivy all day long... they have so many wonderful songs.
My favorite tune from this album is definitely Thinking About You. Unfortunately, it didn't make it through the Listener Review Channel. |
| hcaudill (Washington, DC) | Posted: Mar 01, 2006 - 11:46 It's nice to hear a little Ivy on RP ("Undertow" played yesterday morning). They've got a lot of good stuff besides the two tracks listed here - maybe someone could upload something from Apartment Life, which is a terrific album. The band's story is interesting - two guys in New York (Andy Chase and Adam Schlesinger) were putting together a band and put an ad in the paper for a vocalist. Dominique Durand, visiting the US from France to study English, had never sung before but was into music; so she tried out and recorded their first demo. She ended up marrying Andy Chase and they now have two kids. |
