Because the Night...

[TristanandIsolt]

Is this patti or is it natalie?

[SGR1000]

There's always something about the Phantom of the opera I suppose it's because it's such a classic, the music goes well with this vid :) A masterpiece

[violinsofangels]

am I the only one disgusted by the fact that she was only 16?

[wheresgrunewaldo]

WOW! Hell Yeah! Love Patti Smith! Listening to a lot of Patti, Blondie, Hey You!, Madonna, and No Doubt!. We need more rockin' girls in 2011 !!!!!...

Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaay sweet. Cool style and edge. plus they've got a real cute girl singer too! :-) check em out...

search "hey you band taking over"

[Limejello10512]

Man I love this video. I prefer to watch this than listen to the song. In fact this is how I remember the song now.

[kittypro]

@Limejello10512 I just happened to be online and saw your comment - and you just made my day! Thanks so much! I am happy my work touched you! Hugs! ~kitty

[Limejello10512]

@kittypro It totally did this is one of my favorit you tube vids I watch it all the time. When ever I hear the song now I picture this in my head. I honestly prefer it to the actual movie in fact.

I'm over weight and really unsuccesful with women so I always kind of identified with the phantom. I know what it's like to be a freak in fact when he started talking about how society rejected him because of his face I started weeping . I always liked this cause he gets the girl in the end.

[kittypro]

@Limejello10512 I like the 'alternate universe' endings for Phantom videos. The Phantom deserves to get the girl sometimes. I've made several other Phantom vids with alternative endings. My most recent one, unfortunately was a YT reject for music copyright. But I have it posted elsewhere if you or anyone else wants to see it.

[joefalchetto]

Nice video!

[TinaAntaleifer]

I love this video.. and this song.. and Patti Smith ... this video reminds me of me and my bf.. we look similair to them, it's so funny .. this will be forever our song darling...

Thank you for making this video.. 5 stars

[ozzanulku]

You should read "just kids", if you havent already read it!

She has an awesome story, and smooth story-telling...

[BluesHonkey]

[annaspeedy]

WONDERFUUL!!

[pakmanishere]

@couthSnickers

I dont know what your hearing in Natalie's version she might have a better voice then patti smith, but this song was rocked by patti smith.......you might me a natalie's fan and thats understandable, but seriously this song was best by patti smith. no one can compare. and i dont like either of these singers. but this song BELONGS TO PATTI SMITH.

[CouthSnickers]

When Natalie Merchant sings this song, she puts pattie smith and bruce springsteen to shame!

[MCRxromantic]

I want to have sex with this song. But im not worthy.

[Galega1993]

patti smith is the best singer in the world and I love this video. It's so beautiful.

[kittypro]

@Galega1993 So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks!

[Galega1993]

@kittypro you're welcome

[babau91]

...da questo video avevo capito tutt'un altra trama!! XD

unutulmaz şarkı

[nika7927]

Take me now, baby, here as I am

Hold me close, try and understand

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

[rickthedick1984]

oh shit, is that king leonidas from 300? Damn, he came along way, THIS.. IS... PHANTOM!!!

[rickthedick1984]

oh shit, is that king leonidas from 300? Damn, he came along way, THIS.. IS... PHANTOM!!!

[Ishtar1929]

Great video and great choice of song! It was very intelligent to add the scenes from Dracula because although we all know where they come from you can't really see their faces and fit perfectly in the video!

[vindivlian]

Amazing video! I love Patti Smith and POTO! You did a great job

[songmaven22]

Your video is amazing! Where did the footage of the love scene come from during the guitar solo and end segment?

[kittypro]

@songmaven22 - Thanks! I've often thought I should re-do this one with my improved software and clips, but haven't gotten around to it. People seem to enjoy it as-is anyway. The extra scenes come from Dracula 2000, also with Gerard Butler.

[zRedRosez]

Came across this by accident and glad I did--AWESOME! Love this song and LOVE LOVE LOVE The Phantom and Christine--great job!

[chusiwar]

[MOMODU1212]

FUCKING GOOD MUSIC

[rduquet]

I cannot tell you how much The Patti Smith Group meant to me while I was growing up. I started listening to them after seeing them Live on "Saturday Night Live", in 1975. I started buying all of their records for the next 4 albums, I LOVED EACH RECORD, every song. So Great! PSG ROCKS!

rduquet

.....and now here we are 35 years later, and she still sounds so GOOD!

[frufitta]

1053952,.But Patti Smith deserves more, doesn't she?

[Azrael131396]

Kttypro Major Congratulations on the million views and counting. You're worth it! It's a marvelous testimonial to your talent! I won't be surprised to read 3 million views and counting over the next few years. there is a compelling, fascinating, even mesmerizing element to this particulare video that reaches out and grabs the human heart just like the song does. Again Thank you for this video. .......it's womderful! ...Nuff said.

The best version of this song and video combo I have seen/heard yet. love it

[kittypro]

Gosh! Thanks!  You just made my day!

[missZiggy549]

its not a version of the song, its patti smith she god damm made it! everyone else make bad copys of it........

[sikorka111]

natrafiłam na to przypadkowo...rewelacja:)

[Rizzail06]

I knew who did the song. I ment best version of the song and video. Yes it is a very good song from patti smith, but kittypro took a great song and mixed it with awesome video. Too many of the homemade videos here are not nearly as good.

[kittypro]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[falbalka]

From which film are erotic scenes?

[kittypro]

Actually, from two films - Dracula 2000 and Tomb Raider 2. Both with Gerard Butler, so it's still him there. lol!

[falbalka]

:) thanks

[indukantt]

beauty

[BennySuccy]

perfect Song Perfect video ....5/5 i love it !!!!!

[Sinefull]

The first half of the movie is pretty boring and I hate opera, but I totally adore this video! GREAT job!

[kittypro]

Well, Thanks! ~kitty

[LadyofTheSummer]

This makes me want to see the movie. So congrats, good job :D

[babiswarmaker]

guys who is this song?...bruce springsten-cacada..etc..whose?

[Windblown33]

Originally penned by Bruce Springsteen but was actually sung by Patty Smith not to be confused with Patty Smyth of Scandal. Bruce sings it but with different lyrics and if memory serves me right he never released his version on record or w/e, he just sings it live.

[MissPokrock]

Patty Smith - Because the Night

You will find the original in my channel

;o)

[AnnaEmocja]

With love we sleep

With doubt the vicious circle

Turn and burns

Without you I cannot live

Forgive, the yearning burning

I believe it's time, too real to feel

So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers ......

[SuicideC0mmand0]

I like a lot much Natalie's version, but good vid nonetheless ! =)

[ledalki]

wich movie is the vid from?It does look very nice with the song...

[kittypro]

The 2004 film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. Glad you liked it!

[ledalki]

great, thanks.

[sodamncrazyomg]

i think that's the fantom of the opera..

[vobban]

its lovely! i love it! but is the video a film or is it a music video?

[kittypro]

This is a music video I made using clips from the 2004 film, The Phantom of the Opera with music by Patti Smith. Lots of Phantom Phans wish that Christine had chosen The Phantom instead of Raoul, so I added some scenes from another film and rearranged some stuff to make an 'alternate universe' Phantom story. That's the beauty of video editing!

[jimmythecreep]

this is a beautiful timeless song. i love the patti smith group version.

[Taptap78]

Gerard Butler sexiest Phantom ever, and the song goes perfect with the video, even though its the original version of it, I prefer Natalie Merchant's version, but great song choice for the vid.

[katysweetlady230]

bellissima canzone...il film stupendo..vojo vederlo!

[inferiorNemini]

[kittypro]

Thanks so much! It still amazes me that this video still gets so many hits, even after three years. I made this one using Adobe Premiere Elements, but now am a Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 user. I keep thinking I should re-do thins one. Better software, for sure. Anyway, thanks so much for your lovely comments!

comunque ammirazione per patty smith!

[lukamaz1960]
