Spirit Slips Away

[1Know1tHurts]

Me and my father used to listen to this band and to this particular song in our car. My father passed away, but this songs still reminds me of him.

Sometimes when your spirit slips away it never comes back. Rip. Philo.

[DTRIANTAF1]

one of my favorite Lizzy songs

Is this song about a bottle of whisky standing on a banana skin?

[resetall3sec]

oh this song, THIS SONG!!!!! The emotion it brings to my heart, the modest sound becomes trippy and heartfelt when it touches my ear and I can do nothing but give love to everyone I see. Even though it is a heavily sad song, sad tunes, I feel love. I am amazed how emotions which seem so far away from each other can come together and create a total new feeling among the atoms in my body.

I love Lizzy, they will forever live for those who love to live.

We miss you Phil and Gary!! R.I.P.

[wallachinski]

If those guitars don`t get to you, then, well I don`t know. Just beautiful.

[JamesParkour731]

This song is one my favourite underated Lizzy tunes, seriously heart wrenching now that Phil is gone

[MsEilert]

The solo is played by Brian Robbo Robertson.

[BlackSabbathory]

This is my favorite Lizzy song... I honestly can't listen to it without getting choked up.

[herbalenquiry]

[donnie7609]

[drksnt18]

a perfect song by the world's greatest band

and who plays the solo brian or scott?

[thinfloyd]

as I lay on my death bed, there are 2 songs i want to hear before i die. Comfortably numb, because I hope I'll be in that state of mind. Spirit Slips Away is the last song or sound I want to hear before i leave this planet. It is such a beautiful song. Most played song on my i-pod. It's such a shame how underrated this band is. Any fan of great rocknroll or guitars, should have this band in their top three. hands down. i have pitty for all those fools who dont know this.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Wonerful band live too....

[yb3000]

May the angels bring their flame to you Phil.

[NoRulesInNam]

Shit almost brings me to tears. Phil died a few years before I was even born, but even I miss the guy...

[MrBobcabob]

Thin Lizzy is a great band, I love to sit around in my rocking chair and listen to their songs

[NoRulesInNam]

This fuckin' song, man.

[stormof87]

my 2nd song will be played just as everyone is leaving and its a song by a band called free and the song is called i love you so.

[DirkjeA]

@stormof87 Great choice, that is on the first album I ever bought so many years ago and one of my favourite songs. Paul Kossoff was a great guitarplayer and the voice of Paul Rodgers (later Bad Company wich was also fantastic) always did sent shivers down my spine. Funny you mentioned Free, I almost forgot about them.

[1lhotstuff]

this song is so beautiful! can i have another beer!

[renegadeexpress1983]

Wow what a song, love the album!

[thinlizzy70]

[BaboonBro]

Cant hear it without crying, since it reminds me of my gone friend. He left .. well, its soon four years ago. Damn ya, klantskalle!

[Blewline67]

What a voice phil had! Rock with soul behind it. Thanks Phil,scott,brian and the incredible Mr.Downey. You guys are my heros.

[brentkev01]

the guitar is sweet as it twangs through the song effortlessly, and the bass is so clear like a heart beat classic but not known that well

[stratobiker]

One of my Lizzy faves.

Thanks for posting. :)
