This is another clip from the 25th Anniversary of Arista Records. It's Patti Smith Sarah McLachlan performing Because The Night. One of my all time favorite songs.
Patti is the mother of punk. I bow to her. She blew my head when I was a teen, made me see what was possible for women instead of being pretty and nice. To see her with Sarah is incredible. I wish they'd played the Olympic ceremony together.
sometimes its better just a few words to express a whole hurricane of feelings and sensations, translate it,a godess touching a song of a human........
the song was written and recorded by springsteen for darkness on the edge of town and rejected two months before smith had even heard it,when smith heard the song she asked sprigsteen if she could change some lyrics to suit a womans perspective,hence the smith credit for co writing.there was no writing session between them.
Bruce springsteen was rehearsing the song and Patti heard it,she asked bruct to change some lyrics to a womans perspective,the melody/song was already written and because of some word changes Patti gets a credit,I'd hardly say that's co written
Shoulda backed Sarah on this one Patti.You didn't do your song any service. Sometimes songwriters are great because of songwriting, not performance. Loved your first release of this years ago, and good effort here but sorry, time has not been kind to your vocal range
LOL You speak as if you were in the room when it happened.

She wrote it with Springsteen. Gotta wonder what that songwriting session was like.
