      I was born in 1970 and I remember seeing the Vietnam war on tv. My father was, and still is, a hippy. He was also a huge rock and roll and blues fan. I grew up listening to some of the best music ever written. It gave me a very unique upbringing as music and politics are usually at odds with each. Made me a well rounded rebel! Lol. O still listen to all these great classics. Today’s musicians seems to have lost their way. We need more bands and musicians that had all this raw talent, and emotion and to put it down on vinyl.

    The backing singer Merry Clayton randomly got a phone call in the middle of the night to perform on this song. She arrived in a dressing gown, tired and annoyed, feeling iffy about singing these lyrics.
    Then she created a classic moment in rock. If you listen closely towards the end, her voice cracks on that third ‘MURDER’, Mick Jagger the lead singer shouts ‘woo!’ in the background because he was so blown away by the raw emotion she threw into the vocals

      After Clayton belts out that last "rape, murder..." where her voice breaks, you can hear Jagger exclaim "Yea!", in response to what he KNEW was golden, a gut punch vocal, immediately upon hearing it. They chose to leave her amazing raw vocal, crack included AND his authentic reaction to it in the final cut. Classic.

    This song came out in 1969 during the height of the Vietnam War and was considered an anti-war song at the time. However, World War 1 in 1914 had begun due to the assassination of Austria's Archduke Ferdinand by a single shot. For those living in the sixties, there were still many WW1 veterans still living and knew how WW1 started by the assassination, and that is what the lyrics were about. Gimme Shelter is still the best song they did during their legendary 50+ career of recording and touring, imo.

    I like your reactions to the song, much like me when I first heard it. As others have mentioned the "shooting" part is like an analogy to any situation that feels threatening. It was written during the Vietnam War and Civil Rights era as a reaction to all the trauma and tension of the times, very similar to what we're experiencing now. And the final lyrics are upbeat in their hope that something that brings love and support like a kiss will bring the shelter that heals.

    'it's just a shot away' - society can be like a tinder box, one spark can set it off - 'love sister, its just a kiss away' that's the other side of the coin, we can react to strife is society by either violence or love - the choice is ours. This song and this album was written at a time of extreem stress and violence in this society - much like today, I think this song could be an anthem for today.

    Well...a shot away...can be taken literally. WWI a hugely bloody war was started by a single gunshot that killed Archduke Ferdinand. Metaphorically, I suppose it could mean that just the slightest violence can lead to gigantic violence whereas love and peace, war’s opposite, only takes tender openness such as a kiss.
    Mary Clayton is the backup singer n this is one of the most famous songs where a backup absolutely crushes the part they’re given. Look on RUclips for her interview about the song.

      no they named themselves after a Muddy Waters song "Rollin' Stone"/ Catfish Blues..the Muddy Water's song is probably based off of the proverb, but not the basis for the Stones choosing it.

    First time viewer here. Big history and stones fan. "war, it's just a shot away" refers to the escalating effect that one misguided or fearful action can have. The outbreak of WWI is a typical example. Top notch work though dude, you're quite eloquent, n certainly come of as genuine. Side note, the magazine named itself in honour of the band, and the band named themselves in honour of muddy's waters n his song 'rollin' stone'. Ya legend

    The Rolling Stones came alone shortly after The Beatles. The were like the bad boy Beatles. This song was during the peak of the Vietnam War era. There were a lot of protest songs, as you can imagine. To counter the violence is to unite and love. Sister - it's just a kiss a way.

    Great reaction, especially your smile when Mary Clayton joined in. To me "a shot away" is a single, sometimes inconsequential, event that starts something which turns into disaster. Prime example is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary which started WW I. Sometimes is just takes one act from one individual to start the dominoes tumbling. Our actions have consequences.

    This song was written during the Vietnam War. It talks about how War, Rape, and Murder is a shot away(gun shot) where love is a,kiss away. There were a lot of protests saying Make Love not War, this song was sending that message

      Agree. Mick then goes on to sing - love, sister - - -. I don't think he's calling her a love-sister. He's addressing her as a sister/woman.

The same thing with their other lyric video......'Sympathy For The Devil'.

    Better late than never, but I like seeing the same reaction on the faces of younger generations when they first hear this song and as the song meant to the 60s/70s generation. The song also relates to riots in the streets of that time. One shot can start it all. You said every aspect of song is important so looking at the colors in the video you see mostly reds, whites and darker colors with sharp contrasts of red and white words. You also see greens and yellows which I think represents anti-war sentiments. You can see colors splashing and pouring through it all. If you look at the reds, you see spilling like blood and the drips look like blood spattering and through it all the explosions of war. It all applies to what is happening today in the world now as well. This is what makes the song timeless.

    Basically it's about what happened during the Vietnam war; Carpet Bombing, Rape, Murder all just a Shot away. War > Children are either the innocent casualties of war or the story being told to younger generations.
    The ending lyric; Love, Sister, is Just a Kiss Away is the message of hope and humanity.
    Now it was written in '69 in the heat of the Vietnam war and the nation's unrest of war and civil rights protests, I was seven and have been listening to this song since and that has been the popular take on the song.
    Many interpretations of these lyrics however, but here how it was officially written... a link found via google;

    This song was released during a period of general social unrest. Wars and riots, etc., were pretty common --- especially in the US. There was a lot of music putting forth the philosophy of how by a single action an individual can make a difference whether to take the path of war or peace. John Lennon of the Beatles put up several huge billboards in major cities announcing 'War Is Over, If You Want It'.
    Easy thumbs-up for the smile that emerged from your face at the beginning.
