Paths that Cross by Patti Smith

[mlthomas33]

To the friends and family members we lost...may we meet up again.

[True2Music]

Great observation! That hadn't dawned on me.

[stillilllife]

The guitar intro makes me think of Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[thelevonhelm]

I saw her live in Christiania copenhagen. you can all suck my balls!

[josyula547]

can please give lyrics in the description

An amazing Score that Patti wrote for her longtime friend and curator-Sam Wagstaff. This is documented in a documentary about her friends in the Arts who died during the brink of AIDS in the late 80's (Sam Wagstaff, and Robert Maplethorpe.) Patti does an amazing job as she interviews in this film closing with her reading this amazing work.

Devatsting song from a landmark album and body of work!!!!!! SPINE-TINGLING!!!!

[wopaah]

Patti is amazing. On many occasions I have said this or this song is one of her best, until I heard another one and then that one was just as good and so was the next one. She just has a very broad repertoire, always different, but always the same level of quakity. She is a goddess.

Amazing that Patti rarely performs this one, it is among her best!

Thanks so much for posting!

I love your bridged clouds!

[True2Music]

@deadflo Thank you too!

[illkeepitwithmine]

In any case, this song is endlessly beautiful.

[True2Music]

@illkeepitwithmine I believe life is as the song says, "the paths that cross, will cross again." thank you for commenting.

[illkeepitwithmine]

I listened to Patti Smith's reading of her book Just Kids (an abridged version) that aired on Radio 4 recently on BBC Iplayer, and I believe that she said that she wrote this song for Sam Shepard after he passed away, and gave it to Robert Mapplethorpe. Robert was ill at the time, so perhaps it is also for him, but as I understand it the song was actually written for Sam...

[shoganaine]

@illkeepitwithmine

There was an interview with Patti in the Detroit News/Free Press a few weeks ago and she said, "I wrote the words to 'Paths that Cross' the night our friend Sam Wagstaff died from AIDS. I received so many letters from strangers who said the song provided comfort in the midst of their own losses. Some people have even inscribed it on the headstones of their lost loved ones."

[LilMack549]

@illkeepitwithmine She actually wrote it for Robert as Sam Wagstaff, his partner and patron, was dying of AIDS.

It's an absolutely beautiful song from one wonderful artist to another, isn't it?

love her with my head, my heart and my hands.

[ohsosally]

Patti was on NPR last night talking about her kinship and friendship with Robert Maplethorpe and how she wrote this song when he passed away.

[Overcher]

There are a lot of "authentic" musicians out there, but Patti Smith is actually authentic, not just as a musician, but as an artist. She made me appreciate age, time, and the upper echelon that consists of artists who see life not in terms of record deals, but in producing and being a around and a part of art.

The only other mainstream artists I can think of that satisfies these conditions is Vigo Mortgensen

[haddingtonbb41]

my fav patti smith. From in my opinion her best album. Horses might get the popular vote but this album is true patti for me

5/5

[foofwolf22]

So heartfelt.

[laurahippieprospe1]

Paths that crossed have crossed again. Life gave us another unvaluable opportunity 20 years after and we let it go. So it´s clear we didn´t dserve it. Love u always, though.

[laurahippieprospe1]

Our paths crossed again. Life gave us an unvaluable second chance, and we let it go. Life always tells us when our moment has arrived, and mine is knocking on my door.Love you.

[laurahippieprospe1]

Patti will always be the gr¡eatest, and this song means so much to me. Sorry things have beeh like this, even when life gave us anohter sacred opportunity Somehting inside ouseleves tell us when we've got to go. This is my moment.. Love u.

[Timmybear]

I think of my friend Goody, who left this world in October, 2005, when I hear this song.

I used a line from it in a 'zine whose cover graced his picture and a dedication. :(

[kahrcarrier55]

One of her best............

[AzaharaRomero]

why on hell do comments dissapear?

[laurahippieprospe1]

Hi my dear camandula. Ja,ja, In spite this is "our" song forgive me if this time i dedicate it to my dear friend Chusa. Only kilometres separate us. Love u always, my dear friend. Paths that cross will cross again.

[laurahippieprospe1]

This jewel is my love's and i song, but in this case i dedicate it to my dearest friend Chusa. Far away, just in kilometres. Love u.

[laurahippieprospe1]

This time is for my grear friend Chusa, wishing her to come back. Paths that cross will cross again. Love, my dear friend

[TheRedemtion]

The greatest, Patti you are a treasure

[Jojoseahorse]

Thanks for posting this; its possibly my favourite song of all time, certainly my favourite of Patti's. I love that she was pregnant when she wrote it. Several of her friends passed away around that time, and she said it reminded her of how life goes on :) Just gorgeous.

[ijustlovetea]

To think she went from pissing on the stage at CBGBS and Rock n roll nigger to something as beautiful and heartfelt as this song. It shows just diverse a true artist can be.

[changjord]

I'll look around and see if I can find them, if I do, I'll post the link here for you.

[changjord]
