In the 80's, I dated a guy who had been among the Manhattan hippie/art, social scene; living in Manhattan during the era, of the mid/late 1960's to late 1970's.. working on their various forms of art. Most of them seemed to be from privileged families...they were eccentrics. They owned beautiful lofts, brownstones, apartments; mainly the west village, east village. I didn't notice any of them, working..... It seemed no one held conventional employment....At that point in time,that I had been mildly acquainted, they seemed to be middle aged, in their 50's.

The late 70's to the early 80"s were some of the most profound musical changes ever. Springsteen wrote the song but Patti Smith brought it alive.

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

I think the 80's were the best decade in music overall, but if I had to put a 10 year period I'd probably do 1974-1984 or 1975-1985 for that same exact reason. The pop charts are littered with all kinds of different genres which I doubt we will see again and that is a shame. Top 40 songs are mass (and over) produced trash now. There are a few decent hits every year, but nothing like the past. Why do commercials and movies that appeal at a younger age still dip into songs from the 80's? I do not think they'll be dipping into the songs from the 2020's in 40 years.

[@reds7vn644]

I think what you mean is this is a Bruce Springsteen masterpiece. Patti didn't really have a whole lot to do with it if she helped her write it but let's be honest Co riding doesn't mean you really contributed a whole lot. Her vocals are lackluster and her guitar playing is about in the same category. Patti is famous because of her fuck the world, oh and while we're at it fuck you too attitude. That and the fact of all the famous people she hung out with the likes of Andy Warhol which really propelled her career William S Burroughs, Springsteen and all the other early CBGB alumni. If you listen to the rest of Patty's work it's all crap with the few exceptions. You have to realize there were very few if any women at during that time with that kind of attitude. All she was doing was attempting to masquerade is a 1950s beatnik which is why she hung around W.S. Burroughs and constantly picking his brain in materials for little nuggets she could use for herself. Lou Reed's another one that's right up there with Patti Smith is being highly overrated if not the most overrated.

Hi Ann🌸🌸

[@georgepeters4111]

I'd give just about anything to go back to the 1970s when the world made sense and we had GREAT MUSIC like this! Even for just one day!!!

A perfect addition to the OFMD season 2 soundtrack...

[@anitafruh1984]

I was looking for this comment. :) The perfect song for our gay pirate couple :) I liked the song before, but even more so now. ^^

[@Isrjisoneavalable]

[@alexskelton4150]

I wake up and go to bed obsessing about this song

[@katepowers3909]

[@gelutruta5993]

Yes, yes, yes! Because the night belongs to us!

[@kurtunger8074]

Still a fantastic song...was 19 years old and starting my truck driving part of my life...loved hearing this on the radio going down the road.

[@theodoreroosevelt7471]

I will always support Patti Smith, she is a light.

[@AugustusTitus]

Amazing use of dynamic range. Great song.

[@scottram236]

She has a beautiful voice. Great song

[@paulah.9415]

I still have this on vinyl, and have my ancient (ugly) stereo system in my living room so I can listen to gems like this, in their real form. To reach the depths of one's soul, broken up digital bits just don't cut it. I first heard this song in 1978, working in a restaurant kitchen as a kid, and it shook up my world. I still don't understand the power of this song. All I know is it is a force of awe, wonder and beauty. As is passionate love. There is no other song that so thoroughly captures the otherworldly nature of that kind of love, that brings one to tears of joy. Yes, I've known that, and am forever grateful for the richness of life.

One of my favorite songs for décades since I was a teenager. Greetings from Casablanca, Morocco

[@thomassmith1313]

Bought this when I was 14 and still sounds as good at 56🎸🎶

[@eleniofraticelli3309]

I like you .

[@michaelnoller3441]

Youngster. Best to ya bro.

[@PurePatriot]

Me too i am 56 also, we grew up with the best music ever!!

[@dorseyblack9833]

I've loved Patti since 1978, when Because the Night ruled the airwaves. It's no wonder they call her the "Punk Rock Poet Laureate." Her lyrics and vocals are powerful, and full of life.

[@tomault3063]

of course we should credit Springsteen as well

[@adamgordon3990]

@@tomault3063 Yes, Patti Smith did a great job with it, but Bruce wrote the song.

[@fueledbychlorine]

Bruce Springsteen wrote the song, but the lyrics are so dark and moving 🖤

[@Gloomymoonflower]

AHHOOOOOYYYY MY CREW🏴‍☠️

[@randycox3232]

This Song....I remember the first time I heard it! It still has the power to take your breath... The Collaboration of Bruce Springsteen & Patti Smith...

[@amcmenemy5647]

Love Patti. Class act as an artist and a human being.

[@charlessheppard5942]

A brilliant song written by Bruce Springsteen( no surprise!)and Patty- she's just so incredible!

[@monadelia8449]

2am and I am listening to this song of my youth, Patti Smith is forever...

[@tickedoffnow]
