Patti Smith Because The Night LIVE. The original and best version of this song. This video will be a shock for Chavs who think Crapcada did (lipsynced) the original
Something I've really hated seeing in the comments is "this is back when music was about talent, not looks", you're saying she's ugly wrapped in the compliment of saying she's talented. I think she's brilliant and beautiful. Just because Patti Smith doesn't fit some cookie cutter mold doesn't make her not beautiful. it's possible to appreciate someone's talent without commenting on their appearance, just FYI since you didn't know.
@ Kelsey Feagle Such a distorted view. Try not to project you own inner feelings into others words and twist them into your own commentary. One of the problems with today's society. So many people LOOKING for something to be mad about so they just conjure it up. The comment had NOTHING to do with Patti's looks. What is wrong with Patti's looks? The comment was about the glitz sold for talent in today's world.
I think the comment means that the music industry was less focused on looks. Exposure and airtime were less based on what the industry decided was "hot", which doesn't relate to what actually is beautiful. That being said, I'm not sure if it's actually true because the industry was pretty focused on looks back then aswell.
@@kaguth To me, the industry is split between musicians/artists and performers. Patti Smith = Musicians/Artists = Personality Britney Spears = Performers = Sex/Beauty/T&A
2024 here! This song was released on right around my HS graduation in 1978. I will always remember this song as it played full blast on my way to work and although the lyrics don't exactly match the feeling, to me it was and will be a song of FREEDOM.
The first time I heard this song was on my car radio and I was headed for the record store. I damn near drove off the road I was so blown away. Needless to say I bought the LP immediately. Got it autographed by Patti when she came to town a couple months later.
John Smith LP means long player it just basically means it was a record that she owned before there were downloads and before there were CDs people bought records aka vinyl.
Have you heard Bruce Springsteen's version of this song from 1978? Remember, he co-wrote it with Patti. Here's the link to Bruce performing it in 1978... ruclips.net/video/-Evp0MrJ9lk/видео.html&ab_channel=BruceSpringsteenVEVO.
@@1974yellowman I've always understood that Patti added more lyrics and changed Bruce's lyrics quite a bit. There are some outtakes from the Darkness on the Edge of Town sessions that have distinctly different lyrics. Apparently it "was just another love song" to Bruce and he gave it to Patti to finish properly. Hence they both have writing credits. Bottom line--A GREAT SONG!
And you're not wrong People we're cooler never vicious because they didn't have technology to hide behind. No one was narcissistic enough to take pics of themselves Because back then people had morals,values and the world wasn't obsessed on looks which no matter how much money they had knew that looks will fade
This song never dated at all. Takes me way back and is timeless. Patti is just sublime and herself. Great artist. True to herself and the music. Always was.
Iam beyond late with discovering her excuse me I was born in 77 I saw a snippet of this while watching the defiant ones documentary on hbo about jimmy iovine and the artists he's produced then and now etc..great documentary btw and her voice is just mind blowing
First saw Patti & the Ramones in 1976 I believe unreal!!! Hard to put into words but it changed me big time Patti Smith is a legend what an unbelievable talent so happy to have seen her when we were both young...
The year was 1978. My friend and I were due to appear at a gay club in Manchester when I heard this for the first time. Ask me nicely, I can probably tell you what time it was. The hallmark of a great song is you can recall, the time, date and place you first heard it. And how it made you feel.
The first time I heard this song was on the jukebox at a bar in the Bronx ('78?) with a bunch of Manhattan College students. I was visiting from Delaware and had never heard the song but it was obviously already popular in NYC because when it came on the whole bar started singing and punching the air every time they heard the lyric "because the night". It was a wild scene that I'll never forget. It's still one of my favorite songs of all time. "Love is a ring, the telephone".
Absolutely the best version ... Patti Smith is such brilliant / divine songwriter and performer ... as a guitarist one can only dream of performing with such artists, as it gives the music performance it's 5th Dimension 👍 🎶
Patti didn’t write this song. Bruce Springsteen wrote it. She may be a talented song writer but her must popular songs have all either been entirely written by someone else or co written with someone else. This may be because Patti has a real issue with trying too “sound deep” I.e poetry in song but sometimes it doesn’t translate into song vs working as a poem
Growing up listening to music of my time the mid-sixties the 70s 80s and on up this woman and her band but not given enough credit they were very underrated and very good.
I wonder if she ever sang anything with Meatloaf. I can't help but think their voices, with the power and passion they both had, could have formed something amazing.
Because the Night - Patti Smith Group Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me close, try and understand Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed Come on now try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take my hand come undercover They can't hurt you now Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Have I doubt when I'm alone Love is a ring, the telephone Love is an angel disguised as lust Here in our bed until the morning comes Come on now try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand as the sun descends They can't touch you now Can't touch you now, can't touch you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us With love we sleep With doubt the vicious circle Turn and burns Without you I cannot live Forgive, the yearning burning I believe it's time, too real to feel So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because tonight there are two lovers If we believe in the night we trust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night Belongs to lovers Because the night Belongs to us
I can't believe there are people who clicked Dislike on this video! Everyone with emotional intelligence higher than that of a potato should recognize that the woman on the stage is really singing, with all her hart and all her passion, she is really singing for the audience who gathered there to actually listen to her, and not to a faceless recording. Yes, there is noise, yes, the picture is not perfect, but that's what they used to be, when the computers could only beep...
Bruce had not finished the song when he gave it to her. His lyrics were about a employee who 'worked all day out in the hot sun', but who owned the night as a lover.
I remember when I used to go a small record shop down the street from our house when I was 15. I stopped in one day and asked what was new and good. The lady was either playing this or recommended this song which had just been released. I bought a copy and played the hell out of it... Good times...
I have come here because my life is without aim and I feel like listening to this Patti Smith’s song, which is the only song that I know about her works. Thank you.
great video she's just incredible!! had the pleasure to work with her in Detroit. for years she would do a benefit concert for the Symphony Orchestra, along with Fred @ Sonic's rondezvous band. She is a very nice lady!! She lived @ raised a family here with Fred, and became a very vocal supporter of Detroit music @ the City! thank you Patti! @ happy birthday!
When this song came out my older brother played it for me in his 69 Camaro (which had a cassette and a kick-ass stereo) He grudgingly admitted that my adolescent devotion to Springsteen must have been OK, "If he wrote this, he must be cool" My brother's long gone now (18 years) but I get choked up when I hear Patti's version.
Patti Smith was reluctant to do a cover song. When told that Bruce thought "Because The Night" would be a better fit for her than himself. She avoided it for awhile knowing he was right. Wow was he right.
Little Syzygy yup of course it is the Original. What other great versions out there besides Keel 80s Metal band. Which I love as well. This is a great song Original and Metal version.

One of world's greatest ever tracks, with brilliant, everyday lyrics.
Love it

hifibrony what year it was?
hifibrony What is an LP?
John Smith LP means long player it just basically means it was a record that she owned before there were downloads and before there were CDs people bought records aka vinyl.
John Smith
Bless her.....!!!
That was not supposed to sound patronising - I swear....
Patti is timeless, authentic, raw and real.
I love the fact that Pattie was the absolute last performer at CBGB and brought the most iconic club in NYC to a close. Hilly would be proud.
She still owns this song.
Nope Natalie merchant does

I went to that cool concert in Mexico City...💜🕶
People back in the 70s looked so much cooler than now :D

thank you :D
AMEN to that man....

We were cooler. Original. Unafraid.
This song never dated at all. Takes me way back and is timeless. Patti is just sublime and herself. Great artist. True to herself and the music. Always was.
The lyrics are timeless and the song is well written
I saw Patti Smith live around 2002 -- one of the best shows I've ever seen. She channels otherworldly forces.
Agreed!!!
I salute you 🫡
Saw her a week ago, it felt more like a spiritual journey than a concert
Truly
This song is beautiful, and it breaks your heart.
People back in the 70s looked so much cooler than now :D
Happy Birthday, 70.
She still owns this song.
People back in the 70s looked so much cooler than now :D
Not as cool as people in the 30s!
Hi Diana, how are you doing today
Love it. I wished love & peace would enlighten this cold material world again. Thank you, Patti.
Sometimes you forget a particular song over the years, then you see one like this again and you remember why it caught so many people's attention.
Happy 77th Birthday dear Patti ❤🎉 xxx
One of the most powerful songs ever with its beautiful, erotic lyrics. I've loved it since it came out 37 years ago. STUNNING!
Its meaningless

Love me some Patti :)
I cant believe so few people like Patti Smith :{

Reppin' Patti Love, Class of '82
So many love her, don't you worry,

I love the energy with which she says "pop" at 1:19
It makes little sense but it fits brilliantly so it does
@@Losrandir I know it's a curiosity. Its the most unique part of the song. That pop keeps bringing me back to this great song.
I love her husky voice
Here after her Fallon interview. People like this need to be protected at all costs. We have lost our way with the IG and Kardashian world.
she is on instagram xD She is an awesome lady for sure :)
Simply : the best version of " Because The Night" Pam !
I happen to think the 10,000 Maniacs version was better than this original. Still, the original is great.
One of the best tracks from the 70s.
Easter was always one of my favorite albums.
I wonder if she ever sang anything with Meatloaf. I can't help but think their voices, with the power and passion they both had, could have formed something amazing.
Just....... .Wow!
Amazing song .makes me feel alive and ready to dance
One of the best songs ever written in my opinion, it's got the Fookin lot!!!!!
I'm reading Patti's biography about her and Robert Maplethorp. She's a terrific writer and very interesting life.
"Love is a banquet on which we feed"
Listening in 2019. A brave and spiritual poet of profoundly deep emotion and thoughtful commentary to the world.
She still owns this song.
This song is beautiful, and it breaks your heart.
Patti Smith will always be a force to be reckoned with.. this woman is brilliant.. 🩵🩵🩵
I love the mix and the dynamics of the vocals, passion and a breath of fire in a night of desire.. ROCKS!!!
Keep looking, you’ll see the beauty :)
2019 anyone listening?
She still owns this song.
Remember when talent mattered more than looks?
She still owns this song.
Corker of a woman with a sassy voice. This song is still as fresh as the day i heard it way back...
I still find this song so enchanting and beautiful.
Ms. Patti Smith
2019 anyone listening?
hell yeah
LOVE!
Oh yeah. You bet.
1 of my favourite songs
November 19 !
Because the Night - Patti Smith Group
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night
Belongs to lovers
Because the night
Belongs to us
2023 yeeeeahhhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Midnight & Nikki Flores cover brought me here.
Thank you Synthwave. And thank you Patti, and thank you Bruce.
And thank you Jessie 🎷🎷🎷
This is the greatest performance of the song ever.
I've had the good fortune to see her live... twice. Awesome presence, awesome talent.
Im a huge hip hop fan but man i love this music.
Because she make Because the night with Dr Dre and Jimmy Lovine..
It's Patti words on Jimmy Lovine music
All art is intertwined
Beautiful song and live music with instruments great lyrics to

living in nyc during the 70s seen patti live many times. she had a soulful yet powerful presence
like no other woman in rock, love you Patti.
The one time I splurged on 400 dollar tickets for the Hollywood Bowl, she performed this. She killed it with her entire set. This was 2016.
Saw Patti Smith with The Ramones, at RI College in 1978. Tix were approximately $15.
I'm super old - watched her @ cbgb's twice !
Quality version , great song , great lyrics , great voice
Happy Birthday, 70.
Corker of a woman with a sassy voice. This song is still as fresh as the day i heard it way back...
The Old Grey Whistle Test is such a treasure!
HAPPY 68Th PATTY SMITH!!
Patti ..the absolute anti-rock star.. depth and heart to lyrics.. Love this...
She still owns this song.
😍😍i love the song
I get goose bumps listening to this interpreter named Patti Smith.
Bring back The Old Grey Whistle Test 🙏🏻
My mother's love for the 10,000 maniacs version of this song introduced me to Patti Smith
Hands down the best version I've ever heard,music today is so lame
Mainstream music is trapped into formulas and marketing, searching for the best music out there these days is like discovering rare gems.
Great performance of a great song. Love it!
Bruce Springsteen gave her the lyrics she turned into a love song brilliant
Bruce had not finished the song when he gave it to her. His lyrics were about a employee who 'worked all day out in the hot sun', but who owned the night as a lover.
Not all of them. It was half finished when he gave it to Patti. She added more lyrics and recorded it.

Your life is not without aim. Listen to your heart and follow it. Patti is singing for YOU. Now, move forward, you can do this.
I'm reading her book " Just kids" very deep and a inspiration ! ^_^
Amazing book!

The original is with Bruce Springsteen. He gave the song to Patti.
can't agree more
Angélica Alves you are mistaken.. Patti and Bruce write this song together back in 70’s..
I loved this song that much as a child and loved singing that I learnt it, got my cousin and friend to learn it, we sang it to friends and family
You sang a song about sex and lust to your family?? Ok...
@@calisongbird as a CHILD !!

There are many versions of this songs. This one is the best one. :)
