when she sings "Should I Pursue the path so twisted? Should I crawl defeated and gifted? Should I go the length of the river?" and her moves seem to mean something more than the music itself, is frightening, intense and honest. then I realize: this PIECE OF ART proves that this woman is one of the best things that ever happened in music history - what it's a fact, by the way.
I also first heard this song in All Over Me, and looked for it for years and I finally found it. Now I'm obsessed with anything Patti Smith! I love her!
Thanks sunaNOonna. Also read a lovelycomment in ¨French. My favourite song in this world is The End, but Parri is my sweetest and dearest love. Tnaks 2 all of u. I'm very ill, in fact I'm dying, and u make me feel better.
Patti Smith rules. I wanted to get a t-shirt that says i love Patti Smith and my husband asked if I was now a lesbian. Lol Pissing in a River rulesssss!!!!!!!!!!
I first heard this on the soundtrack of the film All over me......Leisha Hailey was great in it...this song makes me depressed.....I luv it, Patti Smith always rocks!!
I love Patti...been seeing her for years but one thing I can not understand with all the covers she does..why does she not ever do an MC5 song, her late husbands band. The MC5 areone of my favorite bands ever!??? Anybody know why she ignores them completely?
which is a completely amazing movie! and this is a very comprising song with incredible lyrics and vocals. by an amazing woman. times square has got to be one of the best movies ever made!
I saw her performing this song, and many others of course, at Stockholm Jazz Festival this summer. It was magic, absolutely magic. And she was so beautiful. : )
i see this as one of the deepest and most heartfelt songs about breaking up and wanting that person back... this song exposes all those feelings that are involved with this...but pissing in a river is not going to change very much....this is truly a great song...
She played this in Santa Monica. It was exactly like this and she was in the throes of the song, she was the living embodiment, the essence. She BECAME the song. I bought the CD and she autographed my poster. She spoke to me before the concert but some losers made her run backstage and hide.

Don't turn your back now, I'M TALKING TO YOU..
Love you Patti ^^
