Patti Smith - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (ceremonia Nobel 2016)

[@timjensen6660]

Patti, thank you for your humanity, your imperfection, your sensitivity, thank you for you. I love you so much

[@Linz0440]

She was raised Jehova's Witness.

Why do you say jew instead of you? What does it mean?

[@ЗоранРељин]

It means he is sick

[@Youssef51]

Moved to tears. She falters, like we all do every day. And she turns the moment into one of great beauty. Bravo, well done.

[@AChorister]

Beautifully expressed, Joseph Moosman. She touched my soul as much as Dylan's songs always have.

[@jerseyjess6151]

Well said, her nervousness takes nothing from the power of this great song. There are so many words to remember not many could have done it without stumbling. Good for Patti.

Just imagine for a moment the courage it takes to sing Hard Rain in front of an audience if you don't happen to be Bob Dylan.

[@r.pneumo7337]

Moments like these... you realize what distinguishes real art from throwaway entertainment. This was an amazing performance. Bob Dylan did a great thing to send Patti Smith to represent him.

[@richierich4768]

Still not 100% sure why Bob himself didn't go. He said he had other commitments, but his touring schedule is over for the year. Pity. Would've liked to have seen him there.

[@r.pneumo7337]

He's an eccentric. It's hard to figure him out. But he sure knows how to write rock'n'roll history ;)

[@dianesmith5311]

[@mfloydhall]

I wouldn't call it an amazing performance, but it certainly was serviceable even with the glitches. My feeling is Dylan should never have put her in this position.

[@meep3445]

R. Pneumo he didn't out her through it she could have said no lol

[@stefanschiermeyer9155]

Wunderschön, ehrlich. Danke Patti Smith und Bob Dylan.

[@hoplahey]

Own up on your mistakes and be humble about it and everyone will respect you the more for it. Everybody makes mistakes, it's how you handle them that you'll be judged by. Class act.

What a stunning performance. Unbelievable. Yes, there was the stumble but that's what we get when we have true artists performing live; it's not about perfection, it's about emotion. And boy did we get the emotion.

L'esibizione più bella di tutta la storia dei Nobel!coinvolgente e appassionata! grazie Patty! grazie Bob!

[@selwell]

EVERY child/student should watch this. Every person who has ever been nervous about speaking in front of a crowd should watch this. Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee performing in front of, what has to be, one of the highest pressure venues (no one is standing up cheering your name) fumbles and completely forgets the lyrics. She didn't start humming. She didn't start mumbling. She didn't cry. She paused, apologized, admitted she was nervous, 'picked the mic up again' and absolutely nailed it. Beautiful. Human. I'll never forget this performance. and will learn from it. ohhh, and......the 'guy' who wrote this....he was 21 when he did.... unreal.

[@mariclaraoliveira1339]

She's deeply touching.

[@Riatzi]

I could've hugged her when she said "I'm sorry, I'm so nervous". Bless her, she's adorable. And absolutely worthy!

[@renekadijk6108]

I don't give a damn that our beloved Patty stumbled. Her delivery of this song was so passionate and tender, that her "mistake" - and the way she handled it - makes her delivery of this song immortal. Well done girl!

[@miriamgarciamilano2228]

I never thought this song could encompass more emotion, until I heard Patti today, it is made to be sung as she did. Fantastic and perfect.

[@sergedocc2011]

j ai les larmes aux yeux en entendant Patti magnifier ce poème de Dylan

[@אביבר-ר9כ]

Perfect song perfect writer perfect singer just WOW

[@ClaesCornelius1]

Yes, she meant every word sung. Bob will now prefer this version to his own.

[@miguelsabinoneto287]

Gracias Patti, Gracias Bob!!!!!!!!!

[@piscesmaiden44]

She brought me to tears. If this song was chosen by Dylan, he chose well. A perfect statement for the times ahead. He is, and was a prophet.

[@verjan2]

Unfortunately, Patti had chosen one of the hardest and longest texts Dylan ever wrote. Two thumbs UP!

[@CallmeXtina80]

do you know if he chose the song for her to sing?

[@sergedocc2011]

verjan2 ca rend la chanson encore plus belle elle est bouleversante c est magnifique tout le monde est ému

[@sharongreenberg4953]

She's reading it off a paper

[@susandempsey9385]

Sharon Greenberg ...I don't think she,s reading....she seems to have her eyes closed during a lot of the performance...

[@ErikBAnderson]

how could she fuck up so much if she was reading on the paper?

[@cinziacom40]

Grande Patti! Grazie!

[@4rife]

You have nothing to apologize for Patti Smith. Thank you for your song.

I think we need more of this, people dropping their guard, not afraid of exposing their weaknesses. Everyone's walking around with a mask on their faces, everyone so happy and perfect on social media. That's what I think anyways. Beautiful performance.

[@filmsagainstempires1388]

This is an amazing cover. Her voice suits it perfectly.

[@kkretz4art]

Never more appropriate. Thank you, Patti, and Dylan, and artists everywhere.

[@gioborg6256]

Grazie Patti per la splendida interpretazione. GRAZIE BOB!!

[@rezrunnercl]

If not Dylan then surely Patti Smith!! She interprets this Dylan song at the soul of it-honest, raw and real. What transpired with the lyrics was part of the moment and detracted nothing. Love your work Patti! There could be no better choice to represent Dylan! You nailed the essence Patti-as you so often do!!! Gratitude for the voice you share!

[@danielkantak7626]

This is breath taking and made even more poignant by Patti Smith's human response as she breaks and starts again and again--emblematic of the world we live in and the struggle towards a path towards dignity, peace, and love, that we must make for the sake of all here and those yet to come.

[@marknorris3769]

only patti smith could have pulled that off, a masterpiece

[@Vaderskar]

One of the best amazing performance I ever seen.

[@emesvideo]

Her poetry, her voice, her music.. reaches down deep into the mind/heart/soul.

[@jansenepart]

the most famous 'I'm so nervous' in history !! Patti Smith is a very great performer. Moved to tears. She falters, like we all do every day. And she turns the moment into one of great beauty. Bravo, well done.

[@johanneskiessling4085]

What a wonderful singer, what a wonderful performance. It would seem terribly hard to me to perform a song the sad words of which describe our world more and more truthfully every day. You can see a lady in the public wiping a tear and we see a world best described in tears.

[@melaniedix6110]

Dieser Song ist so herzzerreisend und wundervoll mir fehlen einfach die Worte. Ich kann nur tausendmal Danke sagen, das ich so etwas erleben darf. Meinen herzlichsten Dank an Patti und Bob.

[@kristkostallari9331]

I love how the guitarist gets more into the song after Patti's apologize! That made the song more than just a partition, that apologize made the song real!

[@frankwebb2428]

Krist Kostallari good. what the hell is news about me suffering everybody?

[@timgough942]

Patti is so real and so human and at the same time so much like something out of our world. No artist ever touched me like she does.

[@johnnysolstice8550]

Truly moving, thank you Patti...thank you Bob and thank you Nobel for honouring this true Poet ...One Love

[@mariawhittle5849]

I've been playing this song and weeping this week. The faltering was appropriate given the gravity and the beauty of the song and the fear many of us are feeling right now. Thank you, Patti and thank you, Bob. We need music and poetry now more than ever.

[@cindeordelheide8718]

Thank you Bob Dylan for breaking the frozen sea within us .... .thank you Patti Smith...wonderful...wonderful...perfect.

It's good that she faltered, otherwise it would have been impossible to believe that a human being was singing this song. Thank you mam. Your rendition was as good, if not, better than the song itself ... This world actually became more luckier on that day to have you singing this song,

[@izpozpeeps]

Thank you Patti. True humility ❤

[@renatebrechner1847]

Sehr, sehr gut. Berührend. Auch trotz oder sogar wegen der Aussetzer. Wunderschöne Stimme. Große Ausstrahlung. I love it.

[@songtogaia13]

In that moment of Patti's vulnerability the walls around each one observing, the barriers between artist and audience, were gone. For a moment everyone was released from themselves into compassion for her allowing for their hearts to more fully open to the reality in Bob's words. It couldn't have been more perfect! Bless you, Universe.

So beautifully moving... The stumble makes the performance all the more human & genuine. I love you Patti Smith & I love you Bob Dylan.

[@HansDelbruck53]

In spite of the nervous stumbles, or maybe because of them, I loved this stellar performance by Patti Smith of what may be the single most difficult song to commit to memory with it's complex, yet extremely poetic and evocative, lyrical content. I'm sure I'll come back here often to replay this wonderfully moving moment.

[@BroRoland]

I felt the same as you did, the nervous stumbles added to the feeling of the song.

[@damianosiani3467]

Geat soul, Patti!...And a legendary artist, with her whole heart, in her singing!......... Your emotion , your tears, dear Patti, are a divine present to Mankind, a present even greater than your melody!...May God bless you always, sweet sister of mine! An old italian minstrel, from Rome.
