"SLIPPED AWAY"
"Slipped away" is a song on "Tambu" (1995). In a 1998 interview (by Toto99) Simon Phillips talked about this song and songwriting in general:
Take the song "Slipped Away", basically I did the whole chorus section on that. And harmonically it's quite interesting the way it
goes. It's a little bit odd. It's more of a Peter Gabriel thing, more of a chant thing. But it works. And the verse is... Luke came up
with that [hums] ... that's pretty simple. It is very different and it's easier for me really to write instrumental music because I don't
sing. And when I start writing vocal music I can get so far, but I really need someone who will come up with some words or can sing along
with it. So it's more difficult. But I actually really enjoy it as well. It's a very different hat.
