Patti Smith Pissing In A River
Dec.13, 2010 in
Tattoo Videos
Pissing in a river, watching it rise Tattoo fingers shy away from me Voices voices mesmerize Voices voices beckoning sea Come come come come back come back Come back come back come back Spoke of a wheel, tip of a spoon Mouth of a cave, I’m a slave I’m free. When are you coming ? Hope you…

Mesmerizing & haunting… This is one of the most heart wrenching songs I’ve ever heard. I always think of the scene in Times Square. Powerful stuff right here.

@TCLOUD, I just finished watching ALL OVER ME, which I was very disappointed in but I enjoyed seeing all the actors that Ive loved from my younger days, Claude from To Die For (LOVE THAT MOVIE), and Leisha Hailey from my LWORD…the kids, it was a good story, but I think they could of done sooo much more with it. Anyway I heard the song and it brought back so many memories. I had to google it and put it on my Facebook.

@CerebralCrisis Patti’s version is so much better. You can feel and hear all the pain and emotion in her voice. She really felt what she was saying unlike Gravel’s version. Which was stripped of all the raw hunting emotion.

I’m so glad I watched “All over me” because it lead me to this song

The cover of RADIO ETHIOPA is so beautiful.Patti is unbelievably -words escape me. Did her brilliant photog/best friend MAPPLETHORPE take this?Must have- only a person w/his monumental talent could have taken such a picture. She is so beautiful-vulnerable-w/an ethereal quality2 it.It is comepletly mesmerizing-i could stare at it4/ever.

First time I heard this song was when I did college radio and was looking for filler. I fell in love with this song instantly, and I played the Times Square version, Love this song and want to see Times Square movie…

Wow Phil…Thought I was the ONLY one who remembered that particular movie!!

I agree – I’ve really wanted to be able to get into Patti Smith for years because of her poetic song lyrics, but the voice just gets in the way for me. :/
Gravel’s cover is amazing, and I think it’s safe to say that I prefer it to the original too.

@RealRunner7 Actually it is on Harvest, Young’s most popular album, 1972, a true gem. Listen to it from start to finish, you’ll love it!
