Little Feat "Easy To Slip" (1972)

Track from Little Feat's 1972 album "Sailin' Shoes". Written by guitarist/singer Lowell George and his frequent collaborator Martin Kibbee. Kibbee had the original idea, then played it for George, who added the guitar part. This is probably the song that convinced Warner Brothers not to drop the band because it showed their commercial potential. Ironically, neither the song nor the album charted. Kibbee and George started their own publishing company around this time called Naked Snake Music because they had lost the rights to their earlier songs. It's so easy to slip It's so easy to fall And let your memory drift And do nothin' at all All the love that you missed All the people that you can't recall Do they really exist at all Well my whole world seems so cold today All the magics's gone away And our time together melts away Like the sad melody I play Well I don't want to drift forever In the shadow of your leaving me So I'll light another cigarette And try to remember to forget It's so easy to slip It's so easy to fall And let your memory drift And do nothin' at all All the love that you missed All the people that you can't recall Do they really exist at all
