Lyrics –
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You’ll find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a foot-loose man
No you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration
And if we don’t, we’re gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse”
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well, you just might find
You get what you need
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
That you get what you need

Why not write your own material?!
It shows a horrible lack of creativity for which the artist should not benefit.
How to murder a classic song, effing terrible.😢
It's OK, but much prefer the original unedited version.
Just brilliant – well done Sam and Cò – you've done Mr Jagger and Mr Richards proud!!
Oh Sam❤
I doubt it will but would be good if this is Christmas number one 😊
dude this is one of my favorite songs ever❤️
Sounds like Rolling Stones
Love the vibe . School children enjoying the attention, & atmosphere . Great song
Oh my god Sam you nailed it with this brother ❤
Wow, Love it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm a 54-yr-old disabled daughter of a twice wounded disabled Vietnam vet because Agent Orange was a heckuva twofer! He was almost deaf and had to read lips in conversations but would crank up the music a lot. So, I have all these memories of the walls shaking so loud with snatches of reel-to-reel tapes, 8 tracks, albums, and then cassettes, ahead of the curve on taping off the radio and making mix tapes/play lists was my dad! As the baby of 3 girls, the oldest 8 when I came, I was put up on the footstool to bump or whatever, and then recall tripping and falling in a tangle laughing. We didn't know early on why I was a bit clumsy, but it was just the sort of normal thing sisters do, with him as the DJ. Then he played an acoustic guitar, and my Vietnam vet uncle was fantastic with a ukelele played with him for the big holidays. All the 60s and 70s rock were heavily in the repetoir, with "Sloop John B" at all the Memorial Day and July 4th gatherings. I was 17 before I found out he was in a spread so famous the cover of Life from February 1966 was used as an instant visual cue in TV and movies. He wasn't a big part of the feature, just in one of those images waiting for evac, eyes open, traumatized, his best friend having died saving his life, 19 years old! I just sat at the library sobbing looking at it for an hour! I don't know how I missed music was their therapy, as we'd call it now, nut he'd landed in Saigon on Christmas Eve, under fire. A decade later, I was really in a world of hurt having to face the utter collapse of having children, not even adoption, as was harder for disabled then. My niece was at my place sleeping over, wanting to do the shampoo and rinse she wasn't able to handle yet, and reflexively, it just popped out–you can't always get what you want. She looked up with her pouty face and told me that's what grandsd sang to her. It was like a lightning bolt! I stopped asking for what I couldn't get no matter how hard I'd chased it; all that was decided in a jungle in 1966, years before I was born. What I could get was a teaching certificate and eventually a job at a school for the arts where at the end of the day l'd hear snatches of instrument practice and girls doing dance moves and laughing when they flubbed the steps–the most beautiful soundtrack ever produced because I scored the best father God could give me!!!
Absolutely butchered a stones classic . Awful.
Great Job.
I just absolutely love this, it makes me smile all the way through 💖 His devotion to his roots reminds me of us in the Welsh valleys, mining towns and villages that have also been dessimated. Thank you Sam for another beautiful track. See you in Cardiff! 🏴
This channel is underrated It deserves more views.
Exceptional rendition of the stones hit, shame that the John Lewis advert is an absolute shambles
❤
What's a "hund" as in "glass of wine in her hund".
it’s November chill out, bahh humbug
Sam has done it again and touched a nerve in the nation ❤ x x x
It’s Alr I guess, the original clears tho
This was not a good choice to cover.
💖💖
Song always reminds me of House MD
A respectful cover, but equally can't see the point of it.
Very nice cover of a fantastic song. 👍🏻
I had always been drawn to the Stones sound. After watching a documentary on their journey and hearing 'Sympathy for the Devil' on Black Ops, they gained a special place on my "soundtrack of life".
I thought I would never see them live… in 2022, my brother surprised me with tickets to see them in Hyde Park.
To tick off one of my more special bands and do it with someone as special to me as my brother meant more than either of us will ever know. It was our first gig together, I hope it isn't our last.
Sam Fender was supporting that day. I had heard one or two of his songs, but I wouldn't have been able to tie them to him if I weren't told it was him… never could I have imagined how important his music would also become to me.
I love you Brother.
Really great cover. Has that same emotional punch of the original
The idea is very impressive It helped me understand better.

This song reminds me of my uncle, one of the greatest Stones fans I have ever met R.I.P. Tibu.

The idea is very impressive It helped me understand better.
