Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter and Lovesexy Maybe I am late with this but anyone else ever notice the part in the track Lovesexy where Prince sings "Heaven is just a kiss away" is remarkably similar to the bit near the end (4mins 3 seconds ish) of Gimme Shelter whre Mick sings its just a Kiss away? I know Prince supported the Stones back in 81(not a good experience for him) and it might be a homage or a coincidence. Have a listen , maybe I'm hearing things! lol | |

funny, exactly my thoughts about these 2 (as in two) songs. I just can't make sense of the similarities though... totally opposite ideas in the lyrics: Lovesexy is about love, peace and hope. Gimme Shelter much more about despair and fear with a slight hope at the horizon.
So I think it is accidental and not a hommage. A hommage was playing Miss You back in 1986 at the Wembley Arena (and in 1988 in some aftershow as well?) and Honky Tonk Women in the 1993 shows (and Undertaker movie). | |
