A great song but all of us here at Zimbabwe thought that it was originally written and performed by Frankie Goes to Hollywood in the 1970's or there abouts.
@jmm7145 Bruce originally wrote this song for the Darkness on the Edge of Town album. He gave it to Patti and she re-wrote some parts. Patti is awesome and kills this song! But it definitely has a Bruce Springsteen feel.

I thought that Natalie Merchant's version was better than Ms. Smith's for the following reason;Miss merchant holds nothing back, Ms. Smith appears like she's holding her soul back from the track. You've got to let it all hang out sometimes, and, to me, Ms. Smith doesn't do that.
@kja427 Really? I try to avoid silly arguments over whose version was better, but this one I just don't understand. Totally agree that you've gotta let it all hang out sometimes, but I'm simply not capable of comprehending how you think Natalie Merchant has more soul than Patti Smith. I really can't. Her version is so reserved.
Patti Smith, with her Frumpy clothing, and lack of make-up, and undying love for Fred Sonic Smith.... Patti , My only regret in Life, is that I didn t know you...
Good Women are at a Premium these days... God Bless you Doll...
I am looking and asking for people to check out the only song on my page. It has a good amount of likes and I am promoting it because Youtube doesn't offer that exclusively. Your opinion would be valued and I wouldn't mind checking out the music you have. I love networking so feel free to send me a friends request.
I listened to the one by Bruce Springsteen!! As I said before, he's the WORST singer in the world and I still say it!!!!!!!! Patti does this song much better and makes it more with feeling, Bruce all he did was scream it and you can't really understand the words by him!! Patti's is much better, 1,000,000,000 times!!!!!!!!!! I never heard it by Bruce until now and I don't ever want to hear it by him again!!!!!!!!!
@starladodge4 I respect your opinion and you're entitled to it. However, if you think Bruce Springsteen is the worst singer in the world I'd like to know what the music's like on Mars or whichever planet you're from.
@starladodge4 Sorry, but there's a difference between having an opinion and being ridiculous and you probably crossed it with that one. Did you bother to listen to anything else by him before saying he was the worst singer in the world just because you prefer Patti Smith's version of one song? If I were you, I'd try searching "I'm On Fire" and seeing if you still feel that way.
patti sings with more passion.all i thought about was bangin her when i saw this the first time-i believe her when she sings it.natalie merchant good looking lady but i dont feel a stirring in my nether regions-i just dont buy her version.
all this Bruce this Bruce that...whatever. This may be her biggest song to the masses but it's nowhere near her best. So If i was a mere cover no sweat off my back Smith proved she had alot more to offer than this.
Excellent, I don t want to be let down, the best thing since Janis (Joplin) 1967- u were a baby then, -- imagine , sweet thing ,and 2011 , Paint it Black , :))
Natalie Merchant does great version of this, yes. but the way that Patti's band responds to her (you may have to check out a few videos) is unparalleled. She commands. The timing relies on Patti. Only.
@turbotoken Listen to one album - 'Horses' maybe. Not one single song on there to your taste (Free Money for example if you like this one) then to each ear his own. As to the looks, I guess MTV saved you - no one looks crap anymore.
I don't think I've heard a version of this song that I DIDN'T love! I grew up with the 10k Maniacs version, so that's my go-to when I want to hear this, but every version I've heard has been wonderful in it's own way.
@Yoda4peace i think it has more to do with someone using the studio version of the song and placing it over this live performance video. That's what i think anyways
HUGE fan of Patti Smith, but it seems to me that she is lip synching on the chorus toward the end of this rendition. The vocals sound exactly like the studio version.
@Yoda4peace I was always under the impression that all Old Grey Whistle Test performances were 100% live, including all instruments. If I am wrong, I apologise.
It's just a rerelease of all her songs, I hope she doesn't turn into the Beatles, releasing a new 100 dollar boxset of all her old material every two years just to remind people that she exists
@MegaGamer506 Actually Springsteen wrote the melody, and just one line in the song, the rest is all Patti Smith. It was actually a demotape that Springsteen couldnt quite finish, so Patti like I said, the melody was already there, and just ONE line, and then Patti finished the song, which is written to Fred "Sonic" Smith, her future husband!
@TPHBFAN That's not true, listen to Bruce's version from the Darkness sessions (just released in 'The Promise') and check it for yourself line by line. She uses almost the entire original first verse, almost the entire original second verse, the chorus is identical to Bruce's, then the final break she uses about half his original lines. Overall she rewrote maybe 1/4th of the lyrics to her version of the song. She did well but she didn't write all but one line, that's just false.
@TPHBFAN@danyramoon Funny how both you guys got the top comment and you clearly contradict each other despite putting forward what you say as a fact. :/
Thanks a lot Patty,to me this song means lots of magic moments with the only man I loved in my life. We felt in love with this beautiful song.........I will always love you STEFANO....KISSES ANTONELLA ....(.ohlala! wuau!).
we love u patty you're GREAT!!!! This magic song belongs to us,my love .To eternity love From musetta monella
Hope to love you in another beautiful life..........!!!
I'd like to honor Patti on a Patti video and thereby leave any comments about any other artists/musicians or about music today sucking or any of that junk off of it. This is a Patti video, here she is singing with all her soul and being, giving her whole self, and it's awesome. Are other people good doing this song too? Sure but let's leave those remarks for their videos and just enjoy, feel the magic of this, and be grateful for youtube so that we still get to see this, yeah? Patti is legend.
@alicitapalomita Couldn't agree more, those comments are getting tiresome, who cares what everyone else does when we have Patti? P.s her book Just Kids is a rare privilege to read and I'd recommend it if you haven't read it yet.
I'm only 48 years old and I LOVE this song! It's great, and yes, I like older stuff too. This song is fantastic, I discovered it on the radio (KLOS in Los Angeles) and I feel honored to have this song as a part of my adolescence.
Dammit its 2011 and I am still listening to this, what a great song! Patti Smith is such a huge inspiration for me, my band and all female vocalists out there. If you can find it in your hearts please check out my band Hey You we are pop/punk band and have a video out and would really appreciate any input you have:)
@TheEpicMusicChannel I know she's just my stock answer when people start comparing covers......come ONJ doing Because the Night. has to bring a chuckle.
I remember hearing a version of this many years ago as a duet with Bruce Springsteen and Patt.i NOT the U2 Version. Anyone know the one I'm talking about?
I love Bruce Springsteen, I do like her voice singing it better. BUt it was actually written by Bruce springsteen. He didnt cover it. It was his song. lol
I met Patti a few weeks ago. She was so extremely sweet. It was over 90 degrees out and she was only supposed to sign books (outside) for an hour and a half. She made sure to sign everyone's books and it ended up taking almost 3 hours. She is an incredible writer and performer. Love her!
he wrote some of the song, she finished it. If you like Bruce's version go listen to his & not this one. Artist's perform others songs all the time. It's your choice on what to listen to. I prefer this version.
I still remmember theFirst time i heard this song.I bought it instantly (My first ever single) some 35+ year ago.Spent my mums change! Powerfull then and now.
For those of you who don't have a clue, Bruce Springsteen wrote this song with her. He never released it, but did record it during the darkness on the Edge of Town sessions. . He ended up giving it to Patti to record, and that's the version we know. Springsteen never "covered" it; it was his song.
i dont get how people can be so naive about whos version is better. bruce wrote the song, and found it was better suited for patti, grow the fuck up and enjoy the music
@danyramoon Actually, Bruce wrote almost the entire song and then sent it to her so that she could write the end. At that time, she had a long distance relationship with one of the members in the E Street Band. She felt that the song fit perfect to her voice and the lyrics appealed to her.
@andhalped hahah Actually that bruce recorded it for his album darkness on the edge of town, didnt like the sound. in the studio nextdoor however the patti smith group was recording Easter and the producer of both bruce and patties records gave it to patti, she liked it added to it recorded it and released it not some bullshit wannabe romance story. next time dont be a hero if your as wrong as you are this time ahahah
I fear for the future of music! At least we can all look to the past and hear that music used to be awesome. It wasn't about what you looked like, it was about talent! That is the way it should be!!

I met Patti a few weeks ago. She was so extremely sweet. It was over 90 degrees out and she was only supposed to sign books (outside) for an hour and a half. She made sure to sign everyone's books and it ended up taking almost 3 hours. She is an incredible writer and performer. Love her!

he wrote some of the song, she finished it. If you like Bruce's version go listen to his & not this one. Artist's perform others songs all the time. It's your choice on what to listen to. I prefer this version.

For those of you who don't have a clue, Bruce Springsteen wrote this song with her. He never released it, but did record it during the darkness on the Edge of Town sessions. . He ended up giving it to Patti to record, and that's the version we know. Springsteen never "covered" it; it was his song.

i dont get how people can be so naive about whos version is better. bruce wrote the song, and found it was better suited for patti, grow the fuck up and enjoy the music

@danyramoon Actually, Bruce wrote almost the entire song and then sent it to her so that she could write the end. At that time, she had a long distance relationship with one of the members in the E Street Band. She felt that the song fit perfect to her voice and the lyrics appealed to her.

@andhalped hahah Actually that bruce recorded it for his album darkness on the edge of town, didnt like the sound. in the studio nextdoor however the patti smith group was recording Easter and the producer of both bruce and patties records gave it to patti, she liked it added to it recorded it and released it not some bullshit wannabe romance story. next time dont be a hero if your as wrong as you are this time ahahah

I fear for the future of music! At least we can all look to the past and hear that music used to be awesome. It wasn't about what you looked like, it was about talent! That is the way it should be!!
