I was a wing in heaven blue soared over the ocean soared over Spain and I was free needed nobody it was beautiful and if there's one thing could do for you you'd be a wing in heaven blue I was a vision in another eye and they saw nothing no future at all yet I was free I needed nobody it was beautifulI was a vision in another eye and they saw nothing no future at all yet I was free I needed nobody it was beautiful and if there's one thing could do for you you'd be a wing in heaven blue

The first time I heard "Wing" was at the FIllmore in SF. I remember she had introduced it saying that the rhythm of the song was, and I`m paraphrasing here, inspired by a beach in the southern atlantic one summer evening. I think of this song for loved ones who`ve passed away. This video is fantastic!

Seeing the poetry of the beloved Patti Smith is an honor. Seeing her at the Ann Arbor Opera House; the way she helped us all Wave to Virginia.

Seeing Patti bring the house down at the Michigan theatre with 'Gimme Shelter', was the most amazing experience. I even let myself have a few special french Oval cigarettes. As a runner I never give in to smoking, but it just seemed so perfect to be there with such an amazing poet.  I felt alive.

I was a pawn in Pattti's vision of art and poetry... Thank you so much!

"Pure beauty in every way." Yes. A kind of aching perfection that only angels know.

Beautiful indeed! Perfection.
