Don't try this at home: Quiet Rolling Stones

It's not really recommended, but I am currently attempting to listen to "BIG HITS (HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS)" quietly.
I just took duplicated the track listing of the 1966 compilation for an iPod playlist, using songs from a singles collection by THE ROLLING STONES.
JILL and the girls returned home late last night from a trip to ST. LOUIS, and it is KERSTIN'S birthday, so I playing the playlist **very quietly** on the computer, giving the rest of my family an opportunity to sleep longer into the morning.
I don't really recommend playing these songs quietly.
I based my playlist on the American version of the compilation -- one of the first Stones' albums I heard as a kid. It kicks off in grand style, with "(I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION," a song which resolutely refuses to be played quietly.
Right now, "As Tears Go By" is playing. It works well as a quiet, subdued musical interlude. "Time is on My Side" is next, however, and that's a song I have always liked to sing along with. You can't really do that while playing the song quietly, can you?
Hopefully, everybody will wake up by "Get Off of My Cloud." I'll never be able to play that tune without turning up the volume. Sigh...
