Inclination of equator to orbit:
24.936 degrees.

Gravitational escape velocity:
3.121 miles per hour.

Inclination from Orbit.

Basic instincts, social life.
Paradoxes side by side.

Don't submit to stupid rules.
Be yourself and not a fool.
Don't accept average habits.
Open your heart and push the limits.

I like the song and all, but these lyrics just sound like a car commercial to me.

I wish Enigma would push the limits or at least push another button on their synthesizer. While not quite a sucko-barfo, all their songs are starting to sound the same and are becoming tiresome!
have to agree. i'm hardly their worst critic, but really -- fifteen years after sadeness, i see no evolution...

Sitting in the dark with headphones cranked. Dreamy.

Generally an acceptable, if not exciting song, it is particularly jarring after the Emmylou Harris. I can't do this song right now... :verysorry:
