Sly & The Family Stone - Runnin' Away...

Runnin' Away by Sly & The Family Stone has been stuck in my head since yesterday.  Such a lovely song, so smooth and relaxed (despite being about all sorts of agitation).  Perfect song for a day like today heralding the change of seasons (my favourite time of year is always when Winter slides into Spring and Summer slips into Autumn).  Featuring Rose Stone on lead vocals with her brother Sly.  From 1972's There's A Riot Going On.



Thanks to this man, I just found out there's a cover of it by The Raincoats as well.  Had no idea, as it's not on the version of Moving that I have.



Terry Hall's The Colourfield also did a version:



As well as Paul Haig:
