"Simple Kind of Life" is a song by American rock band No Doubt. Written by lead singer Gwen Stefani in late 1999 for the group's fourth album, Return of Saturn, the song contrasts Stefani's desire to settle down and start a family with fellow rocker Gavin Rossdale while still keeping her commitment to the band.
"Simple Kind of Life" was released as the album's first single for the holiday season of 1999. Peaking at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100, #18 on the Adult Top 40 and number 14 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The lyrics of "Simple Kind of Life" discuss Stefani's relationship with  Rossdale but also bandmate Tony Kanal whom she dated for seven years until he wanted to break up. She describes wanting to settle down, get married, and have children. In the final verse, she even dreams about how her life would be if there were a mistake in her birth control and she became pregnant.  But in the song she ultimately decides that settling down is just a fantasy for her since freedom and independence is more important to her. In real life, she would marry Rosdale just two years later and ultimately have three children with him.
The song was recorded with no rehearsals, a first for the band. Adrian Young's drum parts were mixed through low fidelity filters to get the feel of a lo-fi power ballad. It opens with a four-measure intro, which features the Dm9-Cmaj7 modal chord progression used for the song's three verses. After the third chorus comes a coda, which closes the song as Stefani repeats the phrase "a simple kind of life" ad libitum while the song fades. It received positive reviews from music critics, who noted the song's somber melody and raw but honest lyrics. Rolling Stone described it as being "at once grand, fragile and very, very sad".

In 1958, 2 pilots flew an aircraft for more than 2 months without landing, refueling by matching speed with a truck driving down a road. Their record hasn't been broken
They pooped in a bucket and peed out the door, iirc. Food and water hoisted up in a lunch pail on a rope they lowered from the plane to a truck on the surface. They'd tie off a fuel hose to the rope as well and pump it up to the plane which is what you see here. Rear seats removed and a small foam pad laid down to nap on. Engine modified with a special filler neck that let them add oil in flight, also collected from the truck by rope. I believe the record attempt ended when they were unable to safely climb away after refueling. It wasn't a personnel limitation or an emergency mechanical failure, just a very gradual loss of performance over 1500 hours of continuous operation. Could have kept going until an emergency developed, but, you know, mortality and all.
