[@annenewsom8843]

I am a 65 year old woman who finds herself in a shelter because of my health. However I know God is with me and I am grateful to be where I am. Playing for Change is a beautiful way to bring people together through music.

[@teeanahera8949]

And yet it is this belief in a god that is responsible for all the hate in the world. Pray to your god about that.

[@Ray-xx5np]

@@teeanahera8949 REAL nice answer to someone thats suffering. Im SURE you'd say the same thing to someone in your family in the same situation, right? Smh.

This is the only Rolling Stones song that I never ever tire of hearing. It’s one of those songs that were just channeled from the collective subconscious to be sung by anyone and everyone. It’s the people’s song.

[@tonymiller6847]

Yes indeed!

[@glenchapman3899]

Is it just me, or is anyone else's heart is breaking about the fact a 51 year old song about the need for unity is as relevant today as it was the day it was released

[@ladydianepoet]

I'd thought I'd agree but actually I feel excited! It makes me hopeful that things will change again for the better. I love that whole new generations are ready and willing to "play for change!"

[@donHooligan]

the song isn't about a junkie needing a fix? "just a shot away"

[@ladydianepoet]

@@donHooligan it's a protest song about gunfire and war not drugs

HUGE FAN OF you all! Been a TAJ fan for last 50 years!!! I’ll never get to meet any of you, I’m sure, but thank you so much!!!!!

[@PlayingForChange]

This song expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet and offers us wisdom with the words, "War, children, it's just a shot away... Love, sister, it's just a kiss away". It really is that simple. We dedicate this song to all the lost, homeless and forgotten people in this world. It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

The powers know this, which is why they’ve spent so much time since first censoring Elvis from the waist down on tv to banning tunes from radio, to putting parental Discretion labels on records to ensuring ‘dumb’ music like mindless pop songs dominate the mainstream. I’ve learnt so much from some of favourite singers and artists. Far more important things than what I learnt in school. The last thing the powers that be want is One Unity Of people.
