Oh, a storm is threat'ning My very life today If I don't get some shelter Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away War, children, it's just a shot away Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' Our very street today Burns like a red coal carpet Mad bull lost your way Rape, murder! It's just a shot away The floods is threat'ning My very life today Gimme, gimme shelter Or I'm gonna fade away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away
To me, this is the darkest and most powerful of all the Stones songs. And that female singer just rips it up. She gives it everything she has. I've forgotten her name but her energy and voice is amazing.
@Tuzotonic Her name is Merry Clayton. And her voice breaking during her solo is also the sound of her having what would be a miscarriage. Yes folks...this song is so powerful it cost someone their life.
@HunterGrob Sorry :( Had been awake a straight 38 hours.
Should know better by now that lack of sleep & YouTubing magical mystery tours should not include data entry of any kind as mistakes will inevitably occur without registering in the brain.
I'd be mortified if I caused any damage or offence as certainly not my intention.
Small note here, but this is not a dedicated mono mix (= mixed from the multitracks to mono), but a fold-down (= stereo mix combined into one channel). Still, it's a pretty impressive fold-down, and when I first listened to it, it had me fooled into thinking it was a dedicated mix.
Emmaretta Marks sang the Intro! No credit was given!

This whole album is Keith's finest moment in that he played nearly every guitar part. Also not the old miscarriage by Mary Clayton thing! Sigh...

recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this track.

@Tuzotonic Merry Clayton. She's the reason why the original studio version will always be the best.

@Tuzotonic Her name's Merry Clayton and you're right on all counts. Try listening to the extended unreleased version too.
