Patti Smith - Because the night

[MrJZchicago]

Fine song thanks for the post - maybe Patti does look hard boiled hard boiled but her talent is such that she need not affect grotesque costume nor bizarre stage props - the lady has what it takes......

[ThePavla]

this song is directly from Patti Smith or write it more before her?

[maniactrn51]

this world has been hard on all of us from the sixties and I am now exception. This person and many others have paid their dues, so respect them for that.

It would be interesting to see what YOU look like in a few years. Scary isn't it.

Chill out and go with it.

[flauretta]

i myself never cared what someone looked like when listening to a song...can't please everyone i guess...

[chickadillydee]

we are shallow beings who discard true beauty for the artificial world we live in..this is great..and what better a song of love...

[tamerelapute666]

parce que la nuit. la nuit, la nuit.

[donnybrookhorror1]

What's a cascada? ;)

[jimmythecreep]

so beautiful...if i'm in a roomfulla ppl and hear this, i have to turn my head away everytime because it makes me cry...when i am alone...i can just cry and think about someone i loved so much...i take comfort in knowing i will see you in my next life. i love you alexi...r.i.p babygirl.

[cookroger38]

Patti is fantastic one of my bedroom classics in the 70s what a party

[B74Stefan]

A clssic song by a great singer. Brings back nice memories of the past

[ILIRICUMSACRUM]

Deep reflection of emotions that comes from a talented soul like Patti !

[teensy05]

She sings with a passion that most singers never match. She is amazing.

[Jennatils100]

Not a thing I would change about this woman. Such an amazing voice!

[fallensummerz]

ilove her voice(: its so beautiful.

like if you agree

[morgenholz]

Patti is fantastic! This is a great performance from a true artist!

[jsmarema]

I'm pretty sure this beautful woman beats, even Janis Joplin, in voice. As far as this dumb conversation goes about looks, this girl will always have a seat.....as long as I have a face. Sorry Patti, I said it, lol. Hope you got a lil laff from that one. Happy Holidays gurl.......

[TheIchibanrose]

Lots of ignorant comments as ususal...notice how these pathetic individuals who lack any artistic or intellectual skills always are such bad spellers and seem to be incapable of rational argument? Anyway, I don't think Patti cares what you think about her looks. And actually she'd probably think it was cool to look like Mick Jagger--though she doesn't! I always thought she looked like a hot boy--even at her current age. That was what was/is so cool about her--she transcends gender/genre.

[zzozzel]

@TheIchibanrose Listen genius, artistic skills and intellectual skills usually occupy different areas of the brain, Intellectual=left Brain Mercurial Work, Artistic=Right brain. many right brained artistic types, wouldn't gaive a rats ass if something was spelled "correctly" (as you put it), or Phenetically. These are your own judgements, based on false teachings, probably what exaults you "your Highness: to your pedistil of supreem supperiority. watch some quatum phisics stuff;)

[TheIchibanrose]

@zzozzel actually the right/left brain paradigm is an oversimplification. New neuro-cognitive research finds that creative and artistic thinking is not limited to the right hemisphere, Furthermore, both hemispheres work in concert with each other. "Grammar" is not false teachings (?) Instead, it's a construct that allows us to communicate with each other--it facilitates understanding.

[TheIchibanrose]

@zzozzel P.S. Sweetie, Quantum physics is so last year...and also the last refuge of humanities majors who couldn't pass a basic course in physics if their life depended on it.

[Cessate]

@tsimsen Call someone a "homo" and a "faggot", only to proceed to claim they're married to a "fat ugly skank" within the same sentence... which refers to a woman.

You clearly don't think before you speak, do you?

[jdcid7]

Patti Smith is a living musical legend and an icon from the time when rock and roll was real and raw. She is an amazing songwriter and performer, and deserves better than some of the comments being made here.  If you don't like her song or voice, quietly move on without being rude onto something more your liking, but shame on asll who are attacking her based on personal appearance. I prefer Patti to Christina Aguilera, Brittany Spears, and the like every day of the week and twice on Sundays!

[ShapelyDice]

Patti is about as gnarly as they come.

[Sparrowhawk155]

Evaluating Patti Smith as a singer os to miss the simple fact that music is emotion and sometimes the most powerful and ultimately fulfilling music os presented to us flat and even off key and if it touches your soul you don't mind. For me this is one of those times

[PtolemyJones]

gad... her voice is flat, and off key. Sad that she had to embarrass herself this way. Must have really needed the money.

[lasuvidaboy]

Patti is amazing and her book 'Just Kids' is brilliant!

[DERlpschauer]

j love this song but the qualy of upload....j have it on cd wif a little bit better sound

; )

[kellyofsiam]

@tsimsen  You are a stupid shit.

[drew55Z]

all these comparisons, comparisons, gets tired so fast , like what u like; forget the dumb comparing

[DarkScarlet1001]

Please dont tell me that cascada covered this too *cascada sucks*

[microdot]

@tsimsen I cannot believe what a jackass you have let your self become...Bruce is a great American artist and you trash him with your idiotic brainless sexist crap. This song came about when Patti Smith was first involved with Fred Smith, but you are such are obvious jerk that I won't even go into who Fred Smith was . Why should you care? Why should you even give a fuck? You know everything about everything obviously.

[soulsinger18]

@tsimsen You're stating your very narrow and prejudiced opinions. Yes, OPINION! If you knew anything about music then you could speak with an educated mind. As it is, you're just like all the other opinions around here, all assholes have them.

[soulsinger18]

@tsimsen You're the dumbass, dumbass! Check the writing credits. That's what search engines are for. Patti is a queen!

[ccipollini1984]

@tsimsen

Firstoff, she CO wrote the song with Bruce, and rewrote it from a woman's perspective. The wording was originally differant. She says in the book Just Kids, and it's also documnted. Calling someone a SKANK and a WHORE for no reason at all, also makes you childish and immature. Remove your head from your ass please and grow up.

[kanafa44]

because the night belongs to me

[wavade]

She not only looks better than Jagger she also sings far better

[suzebrewer]

she is the fucking sexiest woman alive, bar none....she is REAL. I have been to many concerts.....................

fuck you assholes....really...shit,real­ly???

[soulsinger18]

@suzebrewer Suze, Patti is a sexy, REAL woman. Wow! And she's talented too.

[ChessVertigo]

What a river of idiot comments... she IS beautiful. Full stop.

[marvin10073]

the wommen sieht aus wie a mann

[TheMuzillajeff]

3 people have no lovers for the night...

[pernibuzdovan12]

@TheMuzillajeff that's no excuse

[TheMuzillajeff]

@pernibuzdovan12 you are so right...

[lebarosky]

It is extremely annoying to read comments regarding this artist's appearance. Here is a beautiful woman who is not a child, and who has spent over half a century on the planet. She takes little or no care about artifice. What you see is what you get. If you think she looks anything like Mick Jagger you are blind.

[TheXiledVoiceRIP]

@lebarosky

AMEN TO THAT!!

[ecalzo]

@lebarosky great PAtty... she will live forever in the musician temple.. and in our hearts

[tomartstone]

@lebarosky Love Patti since mid 70's. My favorite female singer and I don't mind if people think she looks like Mick cause he is my favorite Male singer....lol....Patti Rules no matter what anyone says about her

[thefriqueisin]

@lebarosky Mick Jagger is sexy because he looks like Patti

[bkeay100]

@lebarosky

_Patti is the Queen....You got it right Brother... Sleep Peaceably!!!

[unsubdu3d]

@lebarosky to be honest... she looks like Jagger, but she cannot sing as good as Mick :)

[pulpfantrntno]

@unsubdu3d As a major Stones fan, I have to say that, even if you believe that, Patti Smith would kick the shit out of Mick's boney ass. She's a better live performer than he is, too, which is truly amazing.

And I think the Stones are the greatest f*cking rock n roll band on the planet.

[commonberus1]

When was this performance?

Its the best version of the song I've seen including videos of Patti much younger.

[danster6969]

Patti Smith what a good feeling in this song i just say thank you <3

[emmatheelf]

[todoaciento]

Danke Patti für diesen song, er ist für immer verbunden mit Kat(h)rin aus Wölpinghausen. Mona Lisa? da Vinci hätte Dich malen sollen,aber er war zu selten in der "Roten Kuh", um Dich zu kennen. Ich werde Dich nie vergessen.Möge der Saft mit Dir sein!.....Grüss Björn von mir

[nynurse2]
