Phil Lynott - The Story of My Life (Snippet Only)

A snippet of the ultra rare track 'The Story of My Life'.
This was one of the many tracks formerly found on "nothinbutblue"s page.
Any 'consternation' from specific individuals will be ignored. So don't bother.
Everyone else, enjoy!

And the reason I say that is because Phil Lynott was never shy about what he was working on. He shared a lot of his own demos with the world on radio programs and was always very open about what he was working on. I wish that openness would extend to some of these people holding rare tracks.

Thanks for posting Blacksabfan. Keep up the good work. Sounds as if it was recorded at the time of the first solo album - 1979/80. Take care, mate.

A snippet of Phil is still an epic to me. Cheers mate!

This song sounds so fucking awesome. One day, like you, Ryan, I will hear all of Phil's stuff.

[@fendertims]

[@mucksavage2]

[@miguelynott2010]

[@fendertims]

thanks ryan !

[@anter881]

I am 17 and Lizzy/Lynott fan i wonder how the f*** i could come up to all this rare stuff if there wasn't youtube. I wonder how people can claim that they own material like this! Phil's legacy should be accessible to new generations not only to group of toothless "Rockers" For annoying complainers there is button "block"

[@MrWhito]

bufffffffffffffffffff phil, guauuuuuuuuuuuu!!

[@MrWhito]

gracias blacksabfan

[@fendertims]

sounds good , seems to be a great demo/ song ! shame that so many owners of this rare tracks are so " selfish "and "money grubbing " like !

[@blacksabfan]

I'm sure this snippet was created to prove to another group that the song does exist, but other than this snippet, I would suspect this song to be only in the hands of a couple people, maybe just one person. It would be a shame if it ended up lost because it was stashed away out of spite for a group of people for years. I can't control that though. I can only make people aware of it, and hope that people get wiser and consider what they are doing. Hope this answers your question a bit.

@meanbeetroot I've had to spend very little. Time is the main element. Without the internet, it would of taken 5 times longer still. Really all I've done is collect all the work and put it in one location that many people are easily able to access, even for people who can barely work the internet.

[@Woodeh06]

has the full song been found yet? sounds a gem, love you phil lynott

[@blacksabfan]

Well, I have a theory. I know there's people out there who can probably tell you exactly why, but I don't know if they'll be showing up here to answer that question, so I will. There's a small contingent of Lizzy supporters who are holding out on another small contingent of Lizzy supporters. I can't really say why they are doing so, but it's gone on for decades. Because of it, neither side wants to share anything considered scarce, and thats why many tracks have never seen the light of day.

[@blacksabfan]

I've always assumed it was solo Phil, but I'm not even 100% on that. The guitar sounds very Mark Knopfler like...but I don't know if that's him playing, or even when this song was recorded.

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

why snippet only???

[@blacksabfan]

I really wish 'nothinbutblue' would consider reposting his, as I've never been a person that has tried to step on others toes. That said, I don't think it was right to put them up and then take them down when certain individuals complained. They either should of never been put up in the first place, or they should have stayed up. I'm tired with all the drama that comes with posting a rare track. It's pathetic, and it disgraces Mr. Lynott.

"There's a small contingent of Lizzy supporters who are holding out on another small contingent of Lizzy supporters..." The music isn't "theirs"!! This goes against the whole grain! I'm not one group or another - I just love Phil and Thin Lizzy's music - please show you're bigger than this pettiness and release these tunes! Ta!

[@ThinLizzyLegend]

So Omagh has been shared so will other now do the same - time will tell

[@miguelynott2010]
