Rodriguez - I'll Slip Away Lyrics

Respect and love from kathmandu, Nepal, Namastey.

Talented like a few, he had to be Latino.

ايول داداش

Thank you Rodriguez 🙏

Why have I only just discovered him xx

Still the most insightful poet of his time

I lost a couple of years laying back smoking joints and listening to Rodriguez (late 70's early 80's) not knowing anything about South Africa
The was not forgotten here in OZ.

They don't make em like Sixto any more...…………………………………………..angst, longing and loss in spades.

Sixto, my brother had this album when I was a kid.

thomas osorio wow

magnifique

Wow after watching the Netflix documentary 1st as many I suspect ever hearing of this guy. I'm not into this kind of music I'm a head banger but I appreciate history of rock and roll and can hear talent this guy definitely had something. What an amazing story thank God he finally hit it big and made commercial success. Imo he was probably not marketed right. I watched this documentary on 12 December 2019 coincidentally he was playing 1 night only in my town on 13th but sold out. This man is as humble as any man ever. This man is in his 70s now he should be in rock and roll hall of fame. He's the Latin Bob Dylan. Thank God the world was made aware of this superstar.

phenomenal... i love this

The King of the World should be like him.

SAHA SEB LA FRITAS

Wee frr seb la frite

I don’t speak french but Wlh Seb tu régales

Nothing to say just a perfect song for a perfect guy!

Grace a seb

Ceux qui sont la grâce à seb on vous voit

Et on dit merci qui ?
Merci Seb 😉😂

jsuis désolé mais je lache un Maybe todayyyy

Team seb?

And I’ll forget about the girl that said no...

Bob dylan copied TONS of lyrics , Sixto Suffer living in the streets , AND He composed his own lyrics. from the real soul. . do not compare at all . as mick jager said , SIXTO is one of this GREATEST COMPLETE ARTIST. that suffer the hard reality of RACISM. Bob dylan is just a prototype WHITE boy that was easy to sell to the people.

Who did he copy lyrics from?

Ah the music that brings comfort to the depressing state we all tend to reside in from time to time

Shithot tune

His best song in my opinion, shame it never got on an album.. Really sums up how he must have been feeling at the time.

elliott smith
and thus guy is all you need

Much better than Dylan,

I feel so grateful to have found him and his beautiful music.

Incredible))

is it just me? but the introduction of "it's too late" by Carole King is very similar to the introduction of this song..

At the beginning this sounded like pink floyd. But he still awesome

This was before Pink Floyd!

A great talent and song writer. His story is amazing.

He was true to this song...…………...he did infact slip away.

I don't know what this man is lacing his music with but it is SO moving & beautiful. I love Rodriguez. God bless him and salute to the documentary makers who found him. Much love <3

May God Bless this beautiful man.............

Tsss rolita" aight here"

only this way ...I´a mexican boy ...will a australian girl married ! Thanks Australia !!!

Dylan & Beatles chg world- think outta boxes- 45 yrs vinyl to now this fan on reg get my dose of astonishment of such brilliance. This Cat, Rodriguez, brilliant indeed, Poet indeed, studying his work deeply, WHAT A GUY! , What If?, gentle genius & no ego, unique style, appreciated greatly as I dig in, How can this escape radar?, Partly saddened & happy for him but what if he has the doe to keep on during the most prolific creativity window ages in life for most gifted artists....sucks if heritage mattered enough. Mankind not benefiting from what could have been. Boxed in less rigorous thinkers making ignorance a virtue. Sleep walking humans like cattle herds follow bell cows and told what to think. too much uptight hungup folks % boxed in. Im pissed the hubris to have these huge brains capable of great things programed from youth to not use them or exercise them with books. boxed in. If you get Dylan Beatles Rodriguez your most likely thinkers seekers of truth, etc. Einstein didnt slip through cracks- & a hero of mine. BUT WHAT THE HELL ELSE DIDNT WE GET. 50 YEARS OF RODRIGUEZ THINKING & EVOLUTION OF HIS ART WOULD HAVE served man well, I submit. Maybe one day we can live until we die. Outgrowing this hate, racism, & superstition etc, in my opinion is delayed. We cant know how much. A southern man who lived in interesting times like me taught from childhood to hate, fear worldly knowledge, etc. i BEAT THAT SOMEHOW & "now Im finally free". It is not popular but I fear nothing now. "Only wise men change their minds", someone said. Seeking Truth objectively, critical thinking & at 40 yrs old I finally learned to open mindedly weigh evidence. No longer shackled, & Free, & Alive for the first time I almost waited too long. THANKS RODRIGUEZ! TRUTH DOES NOT CHANGE so you said it best....& I AM FREE TO ACTUALLY LIVE & LEARN UNTIL I DIE! (my mantra now & I WILL DO IT UNTIL I DIE). LOVING YOUR WORK, RODRIGUEZ, so I have to say this about you now..... WHAT A GUY!
Thanks man. Respectfully submitted, Gary

heard his song and felt amazing lol !! Love it!

One musician I call myself a fan is this guy .. Rodriguez..

Here in South Africa, he was a legend to us. We had such a connection to his music and he is still much loved today. ♥

I would like to contact South Africans, especially Cape Towners, who attended the concerts in 1998.

🇬🇭❤️💖

From HELLAS!!!

Did talkin heads got inspired from this?

Favorite song by this guy

Powerful lyrics! Respect from Chicago,IL

I THINK HE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE. PROBABLY MANY TIMES. HE'S AN OLD SOUL. JUST ON A
MISSION.😎😸🌈❤

what a beautiful soul that resonates with me

Sixto Sixto Sixto

for an album that the record company never pushed the production is seems they went full on i mean fuck me its so prefect

Thank you Mr Rodriguez for this great music! And big TKX to South Africa for keeping him alive.

Listening in 2019 and beyond 🔥🔥

At least 138 people have no clue!

Awesome song. This man and his music stir my emotions and my soul. Sad more people don't know of him and his story behind the music. Peace n smoke

Damn it if he just ain’t the Latin Jim Croce! It’s like Chicano Batman but from 20 years earlier!

i really think that this man is awesome, i never heard about him but a teacher in the university told me about his music and now i really know that this music is fantastic, fuck all the trap and things like that this is true music, fuck u all people, eat shit .i.

Here 2018 still ... good music ..

hmmm yeah maybe

glad this man finally got the recognition he deserves ...been listening to him since the early 80s

Why is none of this on Spotify?

This Mexican is fire !

Incredible. Fucking legend.

So fucking great, I'm really glad "Searching For Sugarman" introduced me to this!

I will always love this guy for his dedication to enlightening the world of government evils against humanity.

I hear a lot of Jim Croce in his voice. I love him.

He sounds very much like R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, no wonder he got so popular, great voice, great talent. Both of them.

True story

Amazing story, amazing man, amazingly humble.

feels like this song was already in my mind when i first heard it. Like Déjà vu

I love this man's music.... Just seen Netflix special on him

you can keep your symbols of success - thats stone cold greatness

Love this song So now cool

Well still the best at 2018 yeah gotta love him xxxx

gorgeous human

he was also very popular in australia

As a young boy i listened to Rodriguez then thought he made his pot of gold and left the scene, how wrong was i, if anybody has the time to watch the doco on him there's a pretty good chance you will be amazed...This guy is really good.

All music is 👍

I love this guy....

love this song i dont have time for a man that dont love me but have time for someone that loves me 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Dawn Beckstead.

Me encanta

A true artist x

What is there in this voice that make me feel suddenly so sad?

My JJJJJAAAAMMM.  maybe today....

♩👌❤

just brings tears to my eyes

SO FUCKING UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!

I was born I'm 84 and that's me just hearing the sheer genius of this guy what a shame and what could have been,what should have been. Crazy good! Love it

I play this song every time I am confronted with bullshit. After 5-10 repeated listens I've figured out how to overcome it.

He did slip away sort of?

His best song from a bunch of all awesome songs

true master

Conscious lyrics people

You might come home, someday sooner than you know, and find this song playin, laying next to a note

A beautiful raw artist. Not any alive today to this class.
