David Bowie Slip Away

Live on the J Ross Show 2002

[@WBmilkmandan]

His adoration for a public access NJ daily vaudeville show I grew up with... I wish everyone could've seen Uncle Floyd

[@ISOBITHS]

One of the best songs I've ever heard!!! It should have been more famous! Amazing music and amazing how he puts his thoughts about the innocent old ages in Uncle Floyd's tv shows where though some important messages were sent to the adults!! Great chorus and such an incredibly melancholic melody. Bowie is really a real artist...

[@stephenmcnally2590]

A song that grows on you. Bowie did some fantastic music and will be sorely missed.

[@politicaltheory]

Cleaning and doing laundry while listening to Bowie is such a harmonious task! One thing for sure, he needs to come out with a new album soon or I’m coming suicide!

[@ezaube1030]

Almost all of David Bowie's songs become my favourites, sometimes. I didn't even like Slip Away that much in the beginning, now I adore it, especially sung live. Btw I am so happy that Bowie has returned with his wonderful new song. Can't wait for the album. What an artist - I dare say the most complete one of the last 40 years, regarding musical innovation and influence, style, talent, charisma, versatility, longevity, artistic integrity (during most of his carreer), ...

I love this song

[@oracleofaltoona]

This song solidifies in my mind the fact that David Bowie is the tenderest, most emotional pop star out there.

[@Vinca66]

Cette chanson me fait pleurer ! J'ai tant d'amour pour Bowie! Il faut qu'il reste debout!............... Il faut qu'il continue sinon je vais mourir ! L'attente est si lourde à porter ! Je t'en supplie, reviens mon Beau, mon Grand mon si Cher Amour....

[@UncleFloydShow]

I get chills watching this.

[@teebeeformeg]

one of my favourite Bowie tracks......big fan since 1972

[@4thQuarterMentality]

@Elfphan7 He's emotional about every song he sings.

[@VictoriaSuncat]

wonderful!

[@mancpartizan]

this song is amazing

[@oracleofaltoona]

This song really gets to me. The ole heart!

[@L30NBL4NK]

ça c'est fort... Il convie des synthés, des guitares, avec des supers joueurs, et vers la fin il sort un stylophone de sa poche et il y joue en Live, ça c'est Bowie: un expert du son...

[@MrAlibowie]

una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida.VUELVE YA.

[@Beckers45]

I love this video best performance of this song

[@ivankaramasov]

It fits with the very nostalgic mood of the song, I think.

[@UTUV2]

one of my (relative recent) bowie's favorities

[@teckertime]

God Head! Thw whole album is amazing!! BIG FAN!

[@THEHITPACK]

with his later songs it's like he never quite reaches the emotion needed to take it to the next level. Life on mars is better but it's still a good song.

[@ZiggyWarhol1687]

Beautiful beautiful song, only Bowie could make playing the Stylophone look cool, still miss him every single day 🙌⚡⚡

[@madgemuso7314]

Another beautifully melancholy song from DB. Love it 💕

[@1167biggi]

Ich liebe diese Musik. David Bowie höre und liebe ich seit nunmehr 29 Jahren.

[@epsj2006]

I do agree it's a new great song that just fllows his story

[@1167biggi]

I love David 'Bowie. Ich höre in nunmehr seit 29 Jahren.

[@Ladystarify]

I love this song, it makes me feel chills. I love you David!!!!!!

[@lippiacitri]

Très beau ! L'album entier est Magnifique ,le guitariste Gerry Leonard qui a travaillé (entre autres) avec David sur cet album a su créé une ambiance sublime Love this track Love Bowie forever

[@paddy9i99]

I will give it a try, thank you!

[@dodotwenty]

This song is based on Uncle Floyd...an entertainer from New Jersey (that I know very well). Uncle floyd told me that apparently Bowie and Lennon loved when they went to New York so they could get to watch the Uncle Floyd show on t.v....it was there favorite show. He's flattered by the song. He also recieved an autographed copy of the cd from Bowie. Just an interesting FYI...

[@volgie56]

the Thin White Duke RULES

[@brianconway100]

Brilliant song, from a brilliant album. If I can just repeat what Ivan... said about repeated listening, if you repeatedly play this song, so it repeat's in your mind, until you are very, I repeat, very familiar with the song, only then will you be in a position to judge. Chances are you will then like this song, and want to repeatedly play it.

[@MrGnidlih]

Beautiful song!!

[@DANTECHPFN]

the stylophone is return

[@LiamEvansGuitarist]

A lovely but shortened version from the master!

[@MrUnidyne]

A "stylophone". A toy synth that was popular in England in the early 1970's.

[@weizenbier57]

David Bowie ist Kult - seit der Klassenreise 1972 mit Live on Mars beim Engtanzen...

[@MrUnidyne]

Having grown up on "The Uncle Floyd Show", it moves me to tears.

[@rabbitholeofmoxie]

Not to mention, think about just how many of his songs deal with space or aliens, even if we exclude the entirety of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie is definitely an alien! But I'm O.K. with that fact as long as he keeps turning everything he even thinks about touching into gold.

[@ivankaramasov]

It does indeed but without copying himself. In fact, I think it is one of his strongest ballads ever, on par with Life on Mars. So strangely sad and melancholic and hauntingly beautiful.

[@rodinal130]

Que locura de bueno.

[@lastmile77]

In interviews he's said he used to watch it with John Lennon.

[@ivankaramasov]

You are sure you have really given some of Bowie's recent albums the chance of repeated listening. My experience, is that I am often initially disappointed, but that they tend to grow immensly over time.

[@flyfish1995]

@mellobbello Thank You !!!!! I dont wish harm to come to anyone,but I just dont get Bowie.Booooooooring.

[@VladTheInhaler1]

when he plays the stylophone. what is the TAB for it? if anyone can tell me.

[@butteryassryan]

I wonder how much that Stylophone he held goes for on Ebay?

[@franco212]

lol!!!!

[@keithwinter7721]

y y twinkle twinkle

[@franco212]

ok, maybe you are the only one in the world, lol!

[@paddy9i99]

the last 3 albums do not ever come close to the heights he reached in 1976/7/8/9.... Later stuff is lame. Just like listening to a recent U2 album which are also lame. U2 keep up the dellusion by picking up their annual Grammy Award, for the 'Emporers' New Clothes' award. Sick

[@gittarr]

I've heard better stylophone solo's .....

[@paddy9i99]

Yes indeed, at least they are trying. I think in Bowie's case he did in fact at least try. The last 3 U2 albums should be exposed for the lame, shit efforts that they are.

[@franco212]

poor banal song! he completely lost his talent, however he remains my absolute favourite (1969/1997)
