‘Gimme Shelter’ — The Rolling Stones
Can you believe that this song was written only within 20 minutes? It only took 20 minutes for Keith Richards to write the song “Gimme Shelter.” It was mentioned that the song was not inspired by Vietnam or social unrest; instead, it was inspired by seeing people running looking for shelter during a rainstorm. “Well, it’s a very rough, very violent era. The Vietnam War. Violence on the screens, pillage, and burning… That’s a kind of end-of-the-world song. It’s apocalypse; the whole record’s like that,” Jagger told The Rolling Stones in an interview.
