I see her sometimes at the Starbucks by my job in Soho. She’s a sweet older lady now. Always tips the workers according to the barista, who had no idea who she is hahaha.
I read a few pages of her book Just Kids, and just the beginning was already enough to get me dazzled at her story. She got out of her parent's house with no money, just a suitcase with books and pencils, and went to NYC, without having not even a place to stay. And somehow she survived. If I stay in the middle of the city for just 24 hours I am already desperate for shelter. It's just crazy how different can be the choices people make, and the different lives they can live if they have the courage to pursue it.
I first heard Patti Smith Horses album in 1975/76.I purchased it immediately.I just turned 65 & still jam to that album.Patti Smith is a Living Legend. Jesse James
You and me too....born '54....just played it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again 👉🇬🇧👈👉🗿✌️
@@chrisharro your comment made my day and really brightened me up. As soon as I get out of school today, I'll see the cover you talked about and I'm come here later to talk about what did I think !!! Thank you so much. Have a super nice day, Chris! 🙂
First chords and opening line - instantly unforgettable. And it still is, 43 years later. She was to be called "the punk queen" back then. And for a good reason. A classic!
I still have my original vinyl copy of 'Horses' that I bought at the Tower Records in San Diego in 1975. Friends didn't quite understand what I loved about the album. I don't spin it often, but when I do, I spin it loud with the windows open.
Never gets old. I bought this album when it came out, blew my mind, energy more than any female rocker alive. One of the best covers of Gloria ever. Now she's a rock goddess. My girl.
It is 2019. I am 74. I listen to this song. It is the first time I hear it. I is soon winter. I like Patti Smiths singing in this song very much. I think I shall listen to it again. I like to remember how it was.
@Staffan Olofsson - hi! It's now Feb 2020. Did you get over the winter all right? There are versions of Patti Smith singing this song in 2018 and 2019 here on youtube. Please find them, watch and listen. We don't all have Patti's health and power, but she can be an inspiration. Enjoy! Don't be sad,please. You're not alone, ever.
My girlfriend bought this album for me for my 17th birthday, the year it was released. When I heard her growl out "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" on the intro to this, the opening track, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I knew from that day on, there was someone out there like me, and she kicked ass.
@Pigmeat Martin @macie scott - hi! We're all still here and all still the same, I suppose. Maybe you'll want to kick me, but then again, maybe you'll enjoy Billy Idol, Cyberpunk Album, song: Heroin. It has a well known and by some of us, well loved, chorus. If you don't like it, I apologize. ruclips.net/video/7tMFs-5FlWk/видео.html
Its iterally pc to hat on christians. Its seen as brave, heroic and standing up to the man. Everyone who feels alone catches on to this and goes along with it to feel accepted. Meanwhile christians are minding their own business they are villifies by everyone. People would dream of insulting another religion like that, yet its open season to hate on christians. And people feel like they're doing something good by dissing christians. What you realize is that there is another lost soul looking to calm the rage inside them. People are using chrisitans as a scapegoat for their problems. But if they did more research they wouldn't. People hate what they don't understand and have a hard time admitting they are wrong. Until I realized that we have gone 50 years moving away from christian values. We got rid of decency laws and have things gotten better? Since 67 culture has been moving away from christianity. Is culture heading in the right direction? I realized I was fighting against good, we have been standing up against what right to promote what's wrong and say things like 'it's not my place to say' when people do wrong. Thats what patti said about the sexualization in pop music 'oh it's not my place'. You know damn well you would want your daughter be a backup dancer in pop musice today. Because you people are too scared to stand up for what's right and instead go the easy way, because you're too afraid to rock the boat and recive judgement. If standing for what's right will make people turn on you, you're feeling shallow acceptance currently. It will never be fulfilling, that rage inside you will still persist, you're only chasing temporary distractions. They only way to remove it is it live right, but most Westerners don't want to hear it. That's how we went from Mj not being allowed to dance with no shirt on, to musice videos looking like porn today. This is the culture our naivety is creating. We want to be down, we don't want to stand up for fear of being seen as 'the bad guy'.
how can someone put a thumb down on such a masterpiece... some people really don't understand anything to what music is made of.... the full record is one of the best Rock ever released. Just unforgettable....!
It may be 45 years plus but some songs are timeless. There are great songs on Horses but this is on a level of its own. Poetry set to music with that infectious accelerating tempo and muscularly narcistic storyline. And to top it off, one of the best song lines ever written - great at the start but even better at the end as the song reaches the crescendo... "but not mine".
they would butcher it with modern recording and editings. everythings on a grid nowadays, while bands like acdc use speed dynamic. gloria also gets faster throughout the song.
She has a wonderful story about the only time she met Jim Morrison, when she was unknown and hungry. Elektra parties were the best for stealing food from, cos the food was always set up between the main room and the entrance. She's in there one evening, thinking she's alone, stuffing bread and fruit into a bag, when a man's voice from a corner says, "Those hamburgers are pretty good too." So she quickly takes a few of them and says thanks. Jim just nods.
She's got a funny story about World Champion Bobby Fischer as well, whom she met, it's on RUclips, the line "I mentioned something about chess which I wasn't supposed to, and so he gave me a look, took off his hoodie, and said...'Do you know any Buddy Holly songs?'"-is memorable!
Have you noticed how it's cool to hate on Christians. To blame them for societies issues, while they do nothing. But we wouldn't dream of insulting any other group because it would be ra*ist. If you think about it these trends are using us as pawns to re establish the power structure of the US. Every movement starts slow, but like any revolution eventually one powerful group is replaced by another and we are being used for that purpose. Don't be naive to think people don't want to overthrow or destroy countries who have been imposing their morals from their first world status. People covet what other have
I know someone commented on how this condemns Christians. I don't see it that way. She's making a powerful statement that she's strongly independent, that her sins or her faults are her own and not to be upheld to any deity or messiah for them to be redeemed or forgiven. She owns her own shortcomings and is perfectly fine with that.
I saw Pattie LIVE in Milwaukee back in the late 70's. The night before her concert was scheduled, Kieth Richards and the New Barbarians performed. At the time, the Stones were going through one of their " break ups". For weeks I listened to radio advertisements for the spectacle. In the radio adds, they promised " special guests", non specific, but much of Milwaukee were led to believe that the rest of the Stones would reunite for the concert. Kieth and the New Barbarians did indeed perform. Short concert, just a little longer then an hour on the stage. When they finished, we all expected to see Mick, or some semblance of the Stones to return to the stage, and live up to the hype of which they led us all to believe would happen. It didn't happen, and the concert venue was quickly destroyed by us baffled concert goers. We had tickets to see Pattie the next night. Security EVERYWHERE. No place for us then young concert goers to even light up a joint. Pattie did great though. Excellent performance, but when it came to her encore, she didn't want to physically leave the stage, for as she said " I'm afraid that if myself and the band leave the stage, then security wouldn't let us come back on stage." So, in the class move that Pattie did was to have herself and the band lay on the stage floor until she felt as though the voices of us all was enthusiastic enough for them to rise, and indeed play an outstanding encore. Is there anyone out there that was there that night with myself, my friends, and Pattie?
Patti Smith’s mind-bending poetry and feverish worldscape found the perfect sonic-amplified home in her group’s convergence of 60s garage driving neo-visual proto-punk rock and lovely piano-keyboard-laden reveries.
On this day in Music - 10 Nov 1975 Patti Smith released her debut studio album Horses. Produced by John Cale, Horses has since been viewed by critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of the American punk rock movement, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time. Horses has also been cited as a key influence on a number of acts, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, R.E.M. and PJ Harvey.
Even now. today. she is changing my life. not a god. not a goddess. otherworldly. a true artist. i won't bow, just spread my arms wide and dance on her floor
Amazing! I'll never forget the day my Dad played this to me along with 'Piss Factory', I never looked back!! I've sadly now inherited these amongst his vinyl so it's a tad bitter sweet but just so f**kin' good! thanks for reminding me!
This song is amazing live - sung by Patti with such passion, even in 2015 forty years after it was first recorded. Stood near the front at Manchester Apollo, next to my daughter - special, special moment.
Who else but Patti, the first sentence on her first song on her first album is "Jesus died for somebodies sins but not mine" So the poetic journey began.
There are too many great artists to hear them all in your twenties. You left this one a bit late, she's been one of my all-time favourites for a long time now. Be glad that you have lots of stuff to catch up on if you still discover gems like her later in life :)
Sorry, Van, but Patti took this song into a new level. A feminine poet aka the 'female Jim Morrison' that predated female art musicians like Kate Bush, Bjork, and Lana Del Rey. She deserves more spotlight in this generation.
Today, someone sent me one of those "repent now while there is still time... Jesus can save you" memes. I just had to come here. It's been far too long since I got down on my knees and rocked to Patti Smith!
September 2020...I have just played this for the umpteenth time...I love it...my daughter loves it...my grandaughter loves it....for us this is the premier version...from post Lockdowntown south east London lalala...keep well..keep rocking...we love you Patti S ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just played again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.....👉✌️👉🌈👉💎👈
Oh lord. My boyfriend and I had a half-basement that doubled as a practice space for his band and a friends and whomever showed up. But when we were drunk or high enough, the two of us would go down there and with him on drums, I’d do my damndest to sing this. And Carroll’s “people who died”. This was a house on 19th ave in the Sunset in SF, mid ‘90’s. Never had complaints. I think our neighbors were a tad scared.
The 'balls' to start your first song on your debut album with "Jesus Died for somebody's sins but not mine". Patti Smith's lyrics/music is beyond explanation. Shoot it into space - deserves better than us mortals.
That's the tenth times 10 I've played it.... It just don't get any better than this....that chorus GLORIA.. G. L. O. R. I. A. GLORIA G. L. O. R. I. A. GLORIA G. L. O. R. I. A............. 👉💎👈👉🇬🇧👈
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine Meltin' in a pot of thieves Wild card up my sleeve Thick heart of stone My sins my own They belong to me, me People say "beware!" But I don't care The words are just Rules and regulations to me, me I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed And I go to this here party and I just get bored Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing Humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine Ooh I'll put my spell on her Here she comes Walkin' down the street Here she comes Comin' through my door Here she comes Crawlin' up my stair Here she comes Waltzin' through the hall In a pretty red dress And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine And then I hear this knockin' on my door Hear this knockin' on my door And I look up into the big tower clock And say, "oh my God here's midnight!" And my baby is walkin' through the door Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name She whispered to me, she told me her name And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria I was at the stadium There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me Marie and Ruth but to tell you the truth I didn't hear them I didn't see I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong. Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong Counting the time, then you came to my room And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria And the tower bells chime, "ding dong" they chime They're singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine."

I see her sometimes at the Starbucks by my job in Soho. She’s a sweet older lady now. Always tips the workers according to the barista, who had no idea who she is hahaha.
that’s awesome!
just the way she was before, honey!
Perfect! Hey fellow Patti-ite (ha!)
from a person in Seattle that's witnessed the magic every show from 78 to 04 - ain't it grand!

This Is an underrated and undervalued MASTERPIECE OF 1970S rock/pop culture.Edgy yet smooth. Patti Smith at her best.
Hello
Not undervalued or underrated. It’s understood to be one of the peak moments of early punk
Yup. Back in the '70s we all owned this album, and Gloria was played over and over @@talyobirdsey
She is eternal

M A P P LE T O P E Masterpiece too R .I O man shit u were beautiful brother.Thku 4 freeeeeeeing P A T T I Smith❤
What attracts me about Patti Smith is her fearless attitude to express her free will. She must be the Real Punk Rocker!
She is. The godmather.
"Must be"? She is! And she's never lost it.
Yes!
This is one of the greatest rock recording in modern history.
gotta love them rock recordings from ancient history tho!
Calm down. It's just a cover of someone else's musical creation.
I can honestly say there has never been a talent like her. She is on another level.
This album is a triple dose of rock and roll fueled poetry
I said that opening line to my pastor he didn't think it was funny
@@petertoppi4438 haha? what did he say? or did he get heart attack instantly?
Pienso exactamente igual
why confine yourself to triple, let's do infinity
I read a few pages of her book Just Kids, and just the beginning was already enough to get me dazzled at her story. She got out of her parent's house with no money, just a suitcase with books and pencils, and went to NYC, without having not even a place to stay. And somehow she survived. If I stay in the middle of the city for just 24 hours I am already desperate for shelter. It's just crazy how different can be the choices people make, and the different lives they can live if they have the courage to pursue it.

this is just phenomenal. The crazy urge to dance around the room, spin around, shake my head and just exist there. My God.
Her energy is just incredible, as is her band. To my mind there's only one better cover version in rock - Jimi's version of All Along The Watchtower.

Heard the opening line and became a life-long fan; no turning back.
Patti is a goddess amongst mortals. So glad I’ve seen her live❤
First chords and opening line - instantly unforgettable. And it still is, 43 years later.
She was to be called "the punk queen" back then. And for a good reason.
A classic!
Look up her version of "You Light Up my Life ". Very different from the original and the Boone cover. She NEEDS the light, she begs for it.
Patti Smith is a Punk Laureate! :-)
"jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" - the best line she ever wrote.
She didn't write it
@@misterpicks5928 Sure she did. Van Morrison sure as hell didn't include that opening line in the original song with "Them' back in 1964.

This song is amazing live - sung by Patti with such passion, even in 2015 forty years after it was first recorded. Stood near the front at Manchester Apollo, next to my daughter - special, special moment.
This song gives me goosebumps everytime.
Who else but Patti, the first sentence on her first song on her first album is
"Jesus died for somebodies sins but not mine"
So the poetic journey began.
An artist in every sense of the word.
Fantastic music. And that fabulous Mapplethorpe cover photo.
GeorgenotSmith God Bless Her...
Amazing cover (song) & cover (photo) Viva Patti
Possibly the most brilliantly-written song I ever heard
Still the best ever cover of Gloria, the likes of Patti Smith come along so little that we should cherish them .
It was the vinyl album to have when I was a student. She is and was a true artist.
You are so correct sir
I‘m nearing my 50‘s. HOW did I miss out on this woman??
Sounds like you didn't.
I'm 44 and had heard of her but in my teens and later was into similar music but I don't think they played her much on the radio. Could be why.
Karen Baumgartel it’s so humbling..I’m in my mid 40’s and discovering so many artists I’d never heard of, including her. Wow
There are too many great artists to hear them all in your twenties. You left this one a bit late, she's been one of my all-time favourites for a long time now. Be glad that you have lots of stuff to catch up on if you still discover gems like her later in life :)
Thomas Headley thanks!
I like Van Morrison's version. I love the Doors version. But I've never heard anyone do Gloria better than Patti Smith.
Try Hendrix version.
he's best
the best version is by the group them which featured van morrison as the lead singer.
Them
have a listen to razorlights version......its called in the city
This album is a triple dose of rock and roll fueled poetry
I love this song. I almost named my son Gloria.
Thank you for being my best teacher in the forgotten art of crying. Toda la Gloria para usted.
I just discovered Patti a couple of days ago…. I’m so impressed:)
Wild card up my sleeve
Sorry, Van, but Patti took this song into a new level. A feminine poet aka the 'female Jim Morrison' that predated female art musicians like Kate Bush, Bjork, and Lana Del Rey. She deserves more spotlight in this generation.
THANK YOU ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Got that right I sang this at a jam session tonight
What a song, what an album, what a cover.
The best cover, ever, of Them's "Gloria"!
Great memoir of hers, "Just Kids." She lives/breathes art. Wonderful stories about NYC.
"Jesus died for somebody's sin but not mine", way to start a career. One of the best covers too (of one of the best songs ever), WILD.
Today, someone sent me one of those "repent now while there is still time... Jesus can save you" memes. I just had to come here. It's been far too long since I got down on my knees and rocked to Patti Smith!
I love the regal gritty punk that only Patti Smith can bring.
They’re singing, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine.”
I truly believe that Patti 's version is the best something about her voice and her delivery
Bought this album when it was first released.
When I feel old I listen to it.
Rock and roll never forgets
I love you P.S..
今聴いてもスゴいとおもう！

Greatest version of this tune I've ever heard...including the original.
A true artist. Brilliant.

Have to add that this version always brightens my attitude and know it's going to get better
Definitely sitting way near the top of my personal top 10 albums of all time...
Just played again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.....👉✌️👉🌈👉💎👈
…she was one of those hero’s to me, love her for ever…
"jesus died for somebodies sins but not mine" - damn girl!
Katie Churchill I know that got me. From the start.
1975 wow what song
Katie Churchill 🙌🙌🙌
Maybe the greatest opening line on any album, ever.
A separate reality, nobody else like her!
Oh lord. My boyfriend and I had a half-basement that doubled as a practice space for his band and a friends and whomever showed up.
But when we were drunk or high enough, the two of us would go down there and with him on drums, I’d do my damndest to sing this. And Carroll’s “people who died”.
This was a house on 19th ave in the Sunset in SF, mid ‘90’s.
Never had complaints.
I think our neighbors were a tad scared.
Beautiful song, I love the way she sings
My fave cover of this song. ROLLING STONE called the Mapplethorpe cover the top LP cover of all time.
intensity of energy and inspiration is exhilarating and even piercing through
The 'balls' to start your first song on your debut album with "Jesus Died for somebody's sins but not mine". Patti Smith's lyrics/music is beyond explanation. Shoot it into space - deserves better than us mortals.
yeaaah sooo ballsy e=reaaal ballsy
yeah nowadays it does but its not about 70s new york.
Not to mention it's a pretty raunchy song about a girl being covered by a girl at the time. Bold move.
My favourite Patti line from bootleg track Time is on my Side "Tick Tock, F*ck the clock!"
@@rik6696 She never had balls per se,she had big ovaries.
For Patty "Gloria" forever!
Damn, something about her covers... shivers all over and the nightmares G L O RIA GLORIA
That's the tenth times 10 I've played it.... It just don't get any better than this....that chorus GLORIA.. G. L. O. R. I. A. GLORIA G. L. O. R. I. A. GLORIA G. L. O. R. I. A............. 👉💎👈👉🇬🇧👈
It's the piano at the start that does it for me
Best version of Gloria I've ever heard.
Not to mention everybody else.
Love how and when they used this in the movie Wonderland!! Great soundtrack!!
Now I am having control over myself.
Thank YOU, Patty.
Best rock n roll song ever written and recorded.
Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Meltin' in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me, me
People say "beware!"
But I don't care
The words are just
Rules and regulations to me, me
I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
And I go to this here party and I just get bored
Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
Humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
Ooh I'll put my spell on her
Here she comes
Walkin' down the street
Here she comes
Comin' through my door
Here she comes
Crawlin' up my stair
Here she comes
Waltzin' through the hall
In a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
And then I hear this knockin' on my door
Hear this knockin' on my door
And I look up into the big tower clock
And say, "oh my God here's midnight!"
And my baby is walkin' through the door
Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine
And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
She whispered to me, she told me her name
And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
I was at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
Marie and Ruth but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
Counting the time, then you came to my room
And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
And the tower bells chime, "ding dong" they chime
They're singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine."
Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A,
Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A

I love the opening line in the song: *"Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine."*

My love Jimmy..❤️
This song is legendary.
Masterpiece.
I can't believe how great this version is! I walked past her a few times. I never say nothing to people though I give a nod and smile.
She is the godess ! I just love her !
So much thanx
What a pity that it's impossible to put something better than just a Like on such a great song as this!!
