"Gimme Shelter" is a track we have wanted to record for years. This song expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet and offers us wisdom with the words, "War, children, it's just a shot away... Love, sister, it's just a kiss away". It really is that simple. We dedicate this song to all the lost, homeless and forgotten people in this world. It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Isn’t this Fantastic?!!!🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼
Music brings EVERYONE TOGETHER
Is it just me, or is anyone else's heart is breaking about the fact a 51 year old song about the need for unity is as relevant today as it was the day it was released
I'd thought I'd agree but actually I feel excited! It makes me hopeful that things will change again for the better. I love that whole new generations are ready and willing to "play for change!"
the song isn't about a junkie needing a fix?
"just a shot away"
@@donHooligan it's a protest song about gunfire and war not drugs
@@ladydianepoet
interesting. did not realize that.
Your breaking heart is not helping make any positive change. Think of others before yourself.
This is what the Internet was invented for. Outstanding.
I am uk
Thank you RUclips---these comments are just a shout away!
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY PEACE
No, it was invented to make money.
You Nailed It. ! ✌
This is the only Rolling Stones song that I never ever tire of hearing. It’s one of those songs that were just channeled from the collective subconscious to be sung by anyone and everyone. It’s the people’s song.
Yes indeed!
This rendition still gives me chills, and I've probably listened to it 1000 times .Magnificent!
Love playing for change.
Same here, I never get tired of listening to this version and it always either gives me chills or tears
Having goosebumps as I type. Just a love away ❤
I'd 💙 to be in a PFC vid.
Arthritis, so guitar is Out. I could still bang a drum or some vocals. ✌️💀💨
And me too, it's a fantastic collaboration of some great singers and musicians.I never get tired of playing it.
The shortest distance between countries and culture is a love of music! Bless you all!
So true!life is 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Indeed. As a musician, you can put hundreds of us together, all speaking different languages, and without using standard notation (sheet music), we'll come together and make beautiful music and joyful sounds.❤
yep
That's what the Nazis said
They loved music
Your comment is inane

Genieten wat een goed nummertje hè !!!
i love it amazing!!!!!
This is incredible!

I am a 65 year old woman who finds herself in a shelter because of my health. However I know God is with me and I am grateful to be where I am. Playing for Change is a beautiful way to bring people together through music.
And yet it is this belief in a god that is responsible for all the hate in the world. Pray to your god about that.
@@teeanahera8949 REAL nice answer to someone thats suffering. Im SURE you'd say the same thing to someone in your family in the same situation, right? Smh.
@@teeanahera8949simply gob smacked at your absolute lack of empathy and human understanding. I hope you yourself are never in a situation where your faith is all that you have. Imagine how that might be, good person. Just imagine.
you are strong or you would not be here. in a social opportunity you share your truth. get better, stay strong.
Thank you for your kind words.
The Only time I've ever heard someone do a Stones song Better than the original! Who ever produced this and integrated the various performers so perfectly is amazing. Thank you for sharing this great song so powerfully preformed.
It’s very very very good; but not better than the original.
The one thing that will unite the human race is music.
Honcho Music is the Universal language. Rhythm is heart beat of life. You do not always have to know the words, you just need to feel the rhythm.
@@brendaswann7292 Subtitles do help.
So TRUE - KISS ARMY. JOIN ONLY ONE ARMY - MUSIC
The powers know this, which is why they’ve spent so much time since first censoring Elvis from the waist down on tv to banning tunes from radio, to putting parental Discretion labels on records to ensuring ‘dumb’ music like mindless pop songs dominate the mainstream. I’ve learnt so much from some of favourite singers and artists. Far more important things than what I learnt in school. The last thing the powers that be want is One Unity Of people.
Fools
And THIS is why Keith Richards should be remembered.
Keith Richards isn't dead
@@7223adobe ....Yes! Keef will never die!...:).....

He'll remember us. :)
Everyone involved in this song is fantastic, but Taj Mahal and Roselyn Williams are simply another level up. Their contributions give me chills. They're that good.

I've been listening to this song since the 70s. This was the first time I actually heard it.
LOL! Good one.
@@alan4sure I always just thought it was about heroin addiction which I guess blocked me from hearing the rest of it.
It's hard to understand what Mick says!!!
Now you cant unhear it
Me too. Only now in January of 2020.
Honestly though, I will never get tired of watching this.
I'd heard this song many many times over the years but this was the first time I heard it, really heard it. Slava Ukraine.
Slava Ukraine
Yes
please tell Zelenski to come to his senses and talk peace before all Ukraine is turned to rubble :( dont want WW111
How about asking the ruzzian invaders to return to their swamps?@@strawberryelohist
Anyone else who needed Washboard Chaz to ring that desk bell?
C'MON, Man!
Absolutely stunning. This project is the best thing that has come out of RUclips in a long time.
sscotto84 totally agree
The words I've been searching for since I discovered the performances on this channel. "Absolutely stunning."
What we put into RUclips comes out of RUclips.
Hell yeah…and I’m late to the party !
Not really.
Это правда!!
Love is just a kiss away. "Gimme Shelter" Around The World.
Nancy Van Nguyen Yeah, great rendition, but Mic knew "Hugs are better than drugs" and code both demanded, "Just a kiss away" be inserted re: "Count me out, (in),"
Dankeschön für diese tollen Versionen, ich fühle mich wieder mehr als Teil dieser Community, das wärmt mein Herz....
space jam when ever it feels right
Pay pale
Playing For Change awesome gimme shelter cover
Only “playing for change” can come up with this great song played by musicians from around the world. Fantastic!
Who would have thought this little gem from the soundtrack to Easy Rider would be the superbly crafted fine wine it has become?
A true classic!
Great to see Taj Mahal! One of the stars of the '60s who is still performing!
I have heard this song for years. Finally, thanks to Playing for Change, I understand it.
Music unites people, brings them together that’s why 21 million have listened to this stunning rendition.
This arrangement proves the beauty in music. It also proves the talent Keith Richards possesses. All are our gifts from humanity.
Richards talent….. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@jonesfactor9 Zappa was quirky, but not in any way widely popular. The Stones still sellout into their '80s. You like weird stuff. That's fine. Art is subjective and people know what they like. What's Zappa's most popular record? Valley Girl.
Great job. Put Taj Mahal in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, please.
Nothing is less important than a Rock and Roll hall of fame. From rebellion to establishment approval.
The RNRHOF was a stupid idea. It should not exist.
Never. But nice thought.
Absolutely, what a travesty
Oh hell yes.
Music, the true international language and a bridge to mutual understanding and respect.
Thank you, lets give some love away!
The new When The Levee Breaks gave me goosebumps. Especially with JPJ on bass 💜
Not to mention Derek Trucks workin the slide
This song ….
Wonderful to hear this, around the world. And that we all could be the change this world needs.
I've said it before - give two people from anywhere on Earth a couple of sticks and in moments, they can be making music - together. It's the most perfect language.
The Stones were maybe at their peak as a badass rhythm on Let It Bleed.
But the groove happening on this arrangement is, like, wow . . .
Next level stuff.
Why oh why can't we live like this, one world one people. Thank you for posting.
Gimme shelter..we all need it..never ending need..🇨🇦
These videos and performers are magnificent!!! They should be an inspiration to the whole world. Let us learn to play nice together.
Check the version of When The Levee Breaks, it's magnificent
@@LeTrashPanda Yes, I have seen it!!!
It was just a few days ago when a friend of mine sent that particular video to me and now I am hooked on the channel. Thank you. Now stay out of my garbage cans!!!! :)
@@LeTrashPanda That was the first one I had seen...It was just a few days ago when a buddy of mine sent it to me...I had never seen anything produced on that channel up until then. Now I'm hooked...And ya know, in these times, why can't people see that something is seriously wrong when neighbors fight but people from different continents can play one song in harmony...PS I did see Zeppelin twice in my day, I was a big fan.
@@LeTrashPanda, u right!
AMEN Brother
That intro with the slide and the drums and washboard Chaz is just pure amazing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this cover of Gimme Shelter is sublime, the best I've ever heard. Ladies, your voices are wonderful. Absolutely fantastic, and how beautiful is Washboard Chaz's smile at the very end? Just gorgeous!
Have to agree ..very difficult to make a classic into another classic
I couldn't agree more.
you all need to find the funkadelic/ruth copeland version before commenting on the best cover version
Yes Allison, you’re right: this is the very best Stones cover ever!
For me the best Stones single ever. And waaaw this performance is epic. So so many o/a talents plus, the great Taj Mahal who I loved back in the day. So good to see and listen. We need more initiatives like this. Gives me hope.
A FANTASTIC version of
one of the best songs ever written
Taj Mahal is absolutely fantastic here
Thank you for this
This is a great cover. Taj Mahal, what a voice !!!!!
Roselyn Williams ... if u can read this , just wanna say you r fantastic :) , greetings from egypt
Mostafa Eid right back at ya from Canada❤️
Ms. Roselyn Williams is particularly spectacular on this. Hats off to everyone recorded, recording and mixing. Love your music and art.
Tears in my eyes when the lady in purple (Roselyn Williams) starts singing "love my brother, it's just a kiss away" with so much positive convincing energy.
Gets me every time too
Agree absolutely. I love Roselyn Williams!! ❤ Such a dynamic and passionate singer.
@@nancyullrich5447 yes! I didn't know her, but nice to know her through this project.
@@RosaLindeMuziek I hadn't heard of Roselyn Williams before I saw this video either. Makes me want to go to Jamaica to see her!!
@@nancyullrich5447 yes, me too!! That's something else than the Dutch way of making music (I'm Dutch).
Who do we think we are? I have loved and followed music since I was a a young child and I can tell you that "Playing For Change" is one of the most inspiring music projects I have encountered. Perhaps it's the inception via social media and it's coming of age during a time in which this loving embrace has captivated so many people, i can not say. But I do think this needs to continue!
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY 🎶🥰🎶
Amen
Check out 1 giant Leap as well. What About Me. I believe it was the first time this tech was used and is an amazing project. two albums two films original music collaboration.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_About_Me%3F_(1_Giant_Leap_album)
This is a good contagious 😊
@@mrgreen1198 i dont ever read comments, but i came to do a quick browse for some piossible, familiar band and this is the first one a came across. im going to check out 1 giant leap. what about me. thanks for the dirtection brother
Notice...there is not one instrument overwhelming another instrument; all in perfect harmony with the singing voices! Bravo!
I just came across this because I am a huge fan of Taj Mahal but this was mind blowing... I can't give it enough ❤❤❤
Exactly!
Taj Mahal just blows out the ceiling on the thing.... epic
I met Taj a few years ago. I’ve been a fan for 50 years. If I ever get a CD sruck in my player, I hope it’s Taj.
May he continue into the next realm.
I was overwhelmed at the beauty and soul of this piece! I grew up with this music, my father would listen to it. The artists playing it now, from all over this world, have brought tears to my eyes, a smile to my lips, and the joy of memories to my heart. Thank you!
I complely agree with mira lee,i could'nt have said it better
I'm a guitarist / singer and I have to say my favorite contribution here comes from Washboard Chaz. He glues the whole thing together.
Gave me freakin' chills, man. Seriously.
Proof positive that music is indeed a universal language that well all speak with equal fluency. Simply beautiful stuff!
Can’t get enough of this! The Stones would be proud!
First Time in 50 years I understood all the words. Thanks for posting.
I just love this, was in hospital a couple of years back and watched this video all the damn time. Just awesome, great musicians and great vocalists.
Brilliant. Well done. The camaraderie between musicians the world over is always touching and wonderful to see.
Talented people everywhere around the world !
Thank you Playing For Change for sharing this amazing Talents with us !
One Nation !
If this does not move your soul I don't think anything will thanks so much for the insight I'm 65 years old still sounds good
I can't believe it took me until 2021 to find this! This version brough chills to me but reading the comments while listening to it brought tears to me. This is simply amazing.
This is what community is all about! Thank you!
If possible tell Roselyn Williams that she did an awesome job on this and has been an inspiration. Her singing really has me fired up to want to jump in and sing along with all my heart and soul.
Well said my friend, she did the same for me too!
Mystic Dreamer roselyn Williams is awsome
Her voice is a hidden gem, full of power and emotion. Doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous, too.
If you dislike this you are not human.Amazing. In the end all that matters is love and piece,not who has the most land or money.
This music, the people, how they bless all of us with their talent. I’m overwhelmed.
Music unites people like no other thing.
I hope the Rolling Stones see this, enjoy it, and give some of their big bucks to the cause. Mick and Keith should be so proud of their song and its message.
What's really cool is that Keith Richards has already participated in a Song Around the World: ruclips.net/video/biGm7nUgisA/видео.html
You give me hope that there is hope for the humanity after all. Thank you for existing.
it's GREAT to see Taj Mahal is still with us and looking in such good health!
HUGE FAN OF you all! Been a TAJ fan for last 50 years!!! I’ll never get to meet any of you, I’m sure, but thank you so much!!!!!
Sherieta!!! Oh MY!!! What a voice! Gimme cold chills!
A great song stays a great song. Sure Keith and Mick loves this version.
Charlie, on the other hand, detests it. Only kidding! Killer version.
@@4ctmam I think Charlie probably would detest it. It's lost the rhythmic drive completely. I appreciate it the way it is, but man it feels gutted by comparison to most other versions of the song. Great cause though. Most of the Playing for Change series I really like, musically speaking, but not this one.
@@slimturnpike Well, it's a very different take, it loses the original groove totally, yeah. But I like that it's different, otherwise what's the point of doing a cover? And this version brings ouit the melodic aspects of the composition more.
@@4ctmam Fair point.
some how send this to the stones🎸🎶🎵
Still listening 2023. Still gives me chills. 💕
BLESS all these artists . ! . They CAN bring US unity, as apposed to politicians, keep on, keeping on Playing for Change, LOVE Your Schhtuufff ! ! ! ✌️
#Love is just a kiss away... "Gimme Shelter"
Yes....just a kiss away.
Who's listening during the Covid crisis and transformation, 2020?
You?
@@MarufoVega Yep! Stay safe Howard!
I am, New York!
covid it's just a shot away take care of you
I am Pittsburgh
Quite possibly the greatest rock and roll song ever recorded.
Lol. 3G :-) ....... loved those days.
One of at least.
This music got me out of seat running for my computer to see who was covering this! just awesome!!
This is the humanity I wont. My eyes are full of tears. Thanks a lot from Italy
Isn't it fantastic? I sing and dance to this at least once a week.
So very true. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and everyone in 2021. Love from Caliifornia.
I'm having so much fun drumming along to this in the Covid lockdown in Boulder, Colorado. what a TREAT this is. whoever put this together is an AMAZING genius. What a gift. Music is such a gift.
Everybody crushed it. Absolutely beautiful. Thank God I can play this as often as I want. Thank You to all!
Absolutely incredible 👏, beautiful 💕,, I hope the Rolling Stones have seen this 👍👍✌❣
I never thought such a change in tempo and melody could be so good. This is my favorite song and I'm protective of it and I love how you guys went "off script" like you did.
So many incredible voices!! Blended together beautifully.
This is what Humans can do when they just connect their Souls!
Just found this gem.
FANtastic
Till watching Daryls house, a couple years ago. I didn’t know Taj Mahal was still alive. He still sounds great. The woman singing has a beautiful voice
I think it is important to acknowledge the most excellent work Mark Johnson does on producing sound and mixing it to perfection. I don't know any other youtube projects that great such a beautiful sound. Thank you Mark and all you crew. Also Sebastian Robbertson for "The Weight" and helping out on your Dad's song. A Band fan since the Hawks.
I would love to see how they overlay all the musical tracks. It is a truly amazing mix. Thanks for pointing this out. The better the sound system/headphones the better you hear all that is mixed. Truly blessed by the final products.
Agree, absolutely perfect! As well “The Weight” is phenomenal. Thank you
I think it was 6 or 7 years ago when I first heard this song. Ive come back to watch it a bunch of times since then. Fantastic song and musicianship spread around the world. They have 5 or 6 other songs ive warched over and over. Love the concept of this entire project. Very well done.
my goodness..gave me goosebumps.. what a marvellous remake of an outstanding track.. like jagger stole it from them
OH MY GOD! THIS JUST ELECTRIFIED MY SOUL BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT ! TRULY MOVING !
But did you like it?
Great voice Roselyn and pretty too!!’
“Let’s give some love away.” Chilling. And magnificent. ❤
My hats off to the editors of this video! Great production along with a great musical performance!!
So beautiful. Really hit me when Mr.Mahal started singing.
Good grief this world is full of beautiful people!
Taj and I hung out in Underground Atlanta for a couple hours after his show it was a blast 10 years later we ran into each other in an airport and it was great seeing him afrter all those years .I love Taj true artist with a soul for music a big heart and a great memory!
It’s just so much fun to watch these videos, it can’t be easy to put one of these videos together and then to end up with such awesome results is incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Normally with the songs around the world it's the richness I love with so many people contributing each with their own signature sound, often drawn from their own culture and traditionss.. But with this I found myself appreciating the sparse arrangement, which gives prominence to the voices (fabulous!) and thus the lyrics.
I love this version.....thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all your creative work....
I only found your amazing band recently, I am addicted to your unique sounds, you are kind enough to use an old Irish saying, may I please repeat it in my language: "Ar Scáth a Chéile a mhaireann na daoine", the brilliant tunes that you turn out proves that xxxxx, I love you all, Please for anyone that doesn't understand may I please explain...we all need each other, One Love xxxxx
My favourite Stones song done perfectly. This is on loop for the whole day now.
Very cool. You have touched my heart and stirred my soul. Thank you.
I've just spent the last 3 hours listening to every song released and im totally blown away...listening to all those songs on a daily basis pretty much on vinyl and hearing it done so differently is incredible. (couldn't get anyone to do the high sct am pitch break like the original though)
It was so nice by the way that they performed the music.
