One Song 2 versions - The Stones vs Sisters of Mercy, Gimme Shelter
Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones 1969
Sisters of Mercy - Gimme Shelter 1983
According to Keef Richards taken from Wikipedia:
"The song's inspiration was not initially Vietnam or social unrest, but Keith Richards seeing people scurrying for shelter from a sudden rain storm. According to him: I had been sitting by the window of my friend Robert Fraser's apartment on Mount Street in London with an acoustic guitar when suddenly the sky went completely black and an incredible monsoon came down. It was just people running about looking for shelter – that was the germ of the idea. We went further into it until it became, you know, rape and murder are 'just a shot away".
