Slipping Away (The Rolling Stones song)

"Slipping Away" is a song by the Rolling Stones featured on their 1989 album Steel Wheels. It is sung by guitarist Keith Richards.

Credited to Richards and Mick Jagger, "Slipping Away" is a slow ballad, a form of music Richards would embrace on the Stones' later albums. It was recorded at Montserrat's Air Studios between March and June 1989.

With Richards singing, he and Ron Wood perform the song's electric guitars. Bill Wyman provides the prominent bass while Charlie Watts performs drums. The organ and piano are performed by Chuck Leavell and electric piano by Matt Clifford. The song's brass is provided by the Kick Horns. Backing vocals are performed by Richards, Jagger, Bernard Fowler, Sarah Dash, and Lisa Fischer.

Richards recorded a re-worked acoustic version for the 1995 live album Stripped. Of the song he said at the time, "(When we recorded it for Stripped) we realized, 'Wow, that song kind of slipped away.' It just kind of tailed off at the end of Steel Wheels. We realized what potential it still had, and the band and especially the horn guys said, 'You've got to do that!' So in a way, I agreed to do it at gun point. But when I got into it, I really liked singing that song. It's got some depth."

Slipping Away (Mansun song)

"Slipping Away" is a song by the English alternative rock band Mansun. The song was written by band-leader Paul Draper.

Mitsou

Mitsou Annie Marie Gélinas (born September 1, 1970 in Loretteville, Quebec) is a Canadian pop singer, businesswoman, television and radio host, and actress. She is credited as Mitsou Gélinas when acting, but records simply as Mitsou (the French spelling of Mitsu, which means honey in Japanese).

Biography

Born in Loretteville, Quebec, Mitsou is the granddaughter of Quebec actor Gratien Gélinas. She got involved in acting and modelling as a child, but also began to pursue singing in her teenage years. In 1988, she signed with Canadian independent Isba Records and released her first single, "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" (composed and produced by Jean-Pierre Isaac), which became a smash pop hit across Canada (an extremely rare feat for a francophone song). Later that year, she followed with her debut, multicultural-themed album, El Mundo which also spawned the singles "La Corrida" and "Les Chinois". "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" was later remixed by Shep Pettibone and re-released for the American market with a new video.

Mitsou (novella)

Mitsou is the name of a French war-time novella that was published by Colette in 1919. It was later made into a 1956 film Mitsou.

The eponymous protagonist, a 24-year-old star in a show at the Montmartre in Paris in 1917, hides briefly two lieutenants in her garderobe to help her friend Petite Chose. One of the men is the educated "blue lieutenant". He writes to her the next day thanking her, and Mitsou's surprisingly eloquent response results in an exchange of letters which express their blossoming attraction and love. Eventually, the lieutenant returns for a brief and singular visit. An apparently final exchange of letters seems to conclude the affair, although Mitsou does not give up hope for a future of the relationship.

The well-received novella contains a play-like dialogue between Mitsou and the people around her as well as the letter exchange. The main characters are based on her second husband's brother, Robert de Jouvenel, and his mistress, Zou, but may also reflect a young Colette in her early relationship with her future first husband Henry Gauthier-Villars.

Mitsou (1956 film)

Mitsou (or Mitsou ou Comment l'esprit vient aux filles...) is a 1956 French comedy film directed by Jacqueline Audry and starring Danièle Delorme, Fernand Gravey and François Guérin.

The title role is played by Danièle Delorme who had previously appeared as Gigi in the 1949 film adaptation of Collete's work Gigi which was also directed by Audry.

    Slipping Away

    by: Mister Peculiar

    I feel you're away-slipping
    And I must not stand sleeping
    In this slick road we are pulling you
    But I've too greasy hands
    Hey girl please listen to me
    You have so many someone else's light bulb overhead
    To enlighten your way, but curiously they're blurring you
    You wanted that Saturday to be free
    But they changed your mind
    Tired of hearing that child scolding you
    Tired of bearing that child in front of you
    Which counts your money and drifts you honey from me
    I feel you're away-slipping
    And I must not stand sleeping
    In this slick road we are pulling you
    And I've too greasy hands
    Another book already read
    A girl who keeps pinioned her wings
    Bold face against bald wig
    Warm quilt against a cold wind
    Seems in vain the words in Spain
    Tired of hearing that child scolding you
    Tired of bearing that child in front of you
    Which counts your money and drifts you honey from me
    Makes me feel so useless
