Patti Smith - Gimme Shelter Lyrics
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
War, children, it's just a shot away
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
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
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
It's just a shot away
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
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

@Jochen Glombitza Fascinating! Thanks a million x
@Susannah Vernon-Hunt You're welcome
Awesome cover thanks 👌😍😍😍🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️
Quelle putain de voix et de version!!!!!Patti Smith la grande poétesse rock,à nulle autre pareille.
Cool song
En vindt jij het normaal dat als ik naar het ziekenhuis ga en me afspraken na komt zomaar opgenomen wordt een half jaar zonder reden ? Kan mij alles over komen ? In die gestoorde psychiatry in Nederland in Antus
Patti is like no other singer. She walks her own path. Her renditions of classic songs are awesome. The opposite of courage is not cowardice. It is conformity.
Well said.
YUMMY!!!
The best
Surprise!Great version of a classic song.xx
Unica e inimitabile
Grande,grande,magnifica
Never heard this ... trippy
How the fuck am only hearing this now, ?
Very few people can except themselves - much more the stars, Patti is real one- I love her as a real person , a great singer, an opinion maker. I love you Patty. From a 75 years young Greek gay.
A fantastic cover of a great song
Patti is very good at Stones Covers
About ten years ago I saw her doing 'Paint it black'
Watching and listening to her cover "Paint It Black" would be great, I'm going to see her in concert in April 2020 in Melbourne Australia. I hope she does it then.
Loved her as a kid and love her still. 💕
A Great Cover, RIP Sam Sheppard.
I would love to hear more women sing like this; meaning without fear and with their true voices, instead of trying to sound super pretty, sexy, cute, etc. I feel like we are definitely lacking that with the majority of newer music I hear. I've had people tell me I should listen to her and now I definitely hear why.
Kim Johnson 👏🏻👏🏻
Are you by chance a fan of PJ Harvey?
@toomuchcattime yessss, Recently found out about her actually. Brilliant stuff.
Gime shelter el mejor tema
awesome remake/remodel....shared to the Netshows Radio "Program 189" Playlist on youtube
Quel talent
I NEED A SHOT OF HERION NOW KICKASS!!!!!
The farmers weep in India b-cuz Monsanto fucked them hard up the ass 2day..so hard they committed suicide I have 2 say...yeh rape and murder happened at bengazvi in the land of yesterday ....back 2 indian farmers ...Monsanto gobbled up their land just the way franklin just ignore Roosevelt gobbled up japanese American citizens land yesterday....I associate with those that do not forgive and do not forget...Monsanto is currently losing lawsuits...I am just 1 voice but I would like to make them penniless...."my love is never charming" #thepennylesspoet
patti had a strong soulful presence like no other. love you.
This woman is and has always been a good artist and you understand exactly what she sings (Gimme Shelter)
Auch nicht schlecht.
I love her version of this and she made it hers 👌🙂😏
Cover a go! Go! Era meglio se non la faceva
U need to calm down Patti why don't u marry a gay bloke or something he'd hee
If u saw a Young lady in a bar being harassed by a group of idiots it would be your duty to defend her but if u saw Patti Smith in the same situation it would be your duty to tell them to run for their lives
Rip , Dawn
I love listening to patti butcher great hits punk rock
I heard identical performance from a crazy old grannie in Walmart bathroom
She adds another Level to this song... her voice is haunting and brings the tension of this song to an apex
Um clássico dos Stones, que ficou lindo na voz da Patti Smith.
fucking patti, i love you!!!
A blue star from Robert
Now that's a badass voice. Fucking awesome cover.
Quote (Only Kids) :
I ve asked my hair to be cut to look sort of "like Keith Richards", and suddenly, I was somebody else...! Not looking like Joan Baez anymore...
I became, in everyone's eyes a ROCK DIVA",
but deep, inside of me, I was still exactly the same person....
-- unquote
Huh ????
Isn't the World silly .....?
Just kids actully
@Jake Nicol yeah... That's true...! Sorry for the "small" mistake! Read it ?
@yvory Shade Indeed. One of the greatest books ever written.
@Jake Nicol I would not say so... It's a great and very inspiring book (but greatest ever written! you must be kidding, aren't you?)
Patti has written other books (poetry ones) when she was young. I remember "Witt", which I really loved and read beginning 80's (I was a very young girl too, 16 or maybe 17) and another one, I cannot remember the title... maybe you know ?
Besides, she also painted very interesting artworks and I love pictures of her by Robert Mapplethorpe (who s one of the best photographer ever, so far...)
Shame that so few people know about him, still... He s passed too young... and I m afraid he s being slowly forgotten...
(this picture above, is one of his, what you surely know).
I was really a "fan" of both of them, and still am...
I received "Just Kids" as a present from a friend of mine (who s passed away too, recently) and this book will never quit my mind and soul, for many many reasons...
Thanks for having answered and corrected me (stupid am I... It s in front of me, and among my other books)....
Next time, I ll check before quoting anything!
Well ...so long... unknown Friend from ... (where?)
(I write from Switzerland)
May 🕉️ bless you...
❤️
Picture taken at the Chelsea Hotel in N Y , late 70's...
Read her Book : "Just Kids".... So great!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Mwah!!!!❤️❤️❤️😘😘
это просто ахуенно!!!!!
HOLY SHIT! Got the chills..
vle176 So Edward Will
Underrated goddess of rock💛
Hadn't a clue she covered this tune.
my god!! this is awesome cover !! only patty can do this
She ruined it, it's not a matter of powerful voice, this song is rythme and blues, she sings again in the chorus like a native american in heroic way of singing, no Patty in this case tha does not work, i heard better covers of Gimme Shelter then this,
better than the Stones.
Wow. Just WOW!!
La plus belle femme du monde a toujours été Patti...Bises Pat Continue ! .......Et pas conne en plus!......
alles gut, ss totenkopf kennt nur komanndo, von liebe wurde in büchern gesprochen, wir hatten keine liebe!
Love your music allways; till to the end.
Ok i'm not thinking i can do better or something, but that cover sound terrible compared to the original, this cover is pointless.
I love this rendition because her vocal style perfects the Moody moon vibe ... vibrato verbs n nouns sounds...
20 de noviembre 2019 en Uruguay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has the most amazing voice and it is just real words that come out .She sounds like any non musician when she sings it is so natural raw .Its just like any other womans singing voice would sing professional its like what my sister would sound like singing this its just natural love her.
Patti Smith is trying to prove Brian Jones wrote intro. It's inside lude guitar here. But Brian Jones could play a 12 string like a vibrator. Hello kids!
Masterpiece of a cover from a goddess
My soul
Cant stop hiccuping
she covers the most challenging songs, brilliantly
we see may 1 and 2
Excellent magistral magnifique
Du Picasso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patti la Déesse du Rock
La meilleure chanson des stones ! Superbement reprise par pat et ses musiciens.
Is there anything this woman can’t do? Pure class.
Thank you Patti!
She sings so good she do a great cover Love her ❤️
Kick arse miss smith for my friend cazzie rip😎
c'est ma camarade et je suis un de ses ange ! Yeah
She kills it...Classic!
no comments
Maravilhoso!!!!!
Super Legend!!!!
patti has made my life Worth ,living
Patti Smith is the best ever. I Love that woman
No one's perfect -- it's more point of view-- this passes the taste test. Remember--- this CLASSIC isn"t the only one she's tackled & come away w/- kudos from unexpected quarters.
damn! girl.
vle176 so
Insamniac cookies isu pro tc 109 thank you king Edward II https://t.co/3qUoqtVrGy. https://t.co/rqMHgN6mgg https://t.co/c8q6rXuEFr
Female version of Jimmy Morrison and Mick Jagger. Great !
She looks like she is wearing a crown of thorns. I wonder if that was intended.
I saw her at the Trocadero Theater, Philadelphia...she did that "give me your paw" thing that humans go nuts over.
On a binge listening to the may covers of this number on YT, still to find one that even comes close to the original.
Have you heard Hollary Clinton's rendition??
Agreed with comments below. Thanks and Sharing.......
Live in 79 . San Berdoo. One of my favorites!
cute chick + boy rhythms will Gimme Shelter
First Fe-male Rock Star
don't shut Her away...She's just a shot away
Gimme Shelter don't shut Her away
its just a shot away so don't shut her away
thank God She's got the Face to Rage Against The Machine
I like this version better than the original and I've listening to the original for years before finding this version
