there's been no attempt to try and copy either the vocal or musical performance of the Rolling Stones on this cover - we've attempted to make this song sound like one of ours - the OG tho is personally my favourite song of all time.
apocalypse

Story behind the song
greatest song of all time so why not try and cover it with our own vibe, style and feelings as opposed to mimicking Mick or creating a sound which is a carbon copy of the original - there's an underlying sense of the apocalypse looming on the OG and it's the only aspect we've tried to retain within this piece.....Kath's on backing and has her own mix on her page! Dedicated to those who've endured and survived the wildfires in the LA Hills, Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas '25, mad bull lost your way...
Lyrics
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away now
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
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
Rape, murder
Just a shot away
Rape, murder yeah
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, yeah
So the flood is threatening
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
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
