Earlier this week, my subconscious dragged me into a van and held me hostage; there, it forced me to write an essay inspired by this video. Although I’m terrified you might read it, I was told it would be polite to let you know I had quoted you and linked your work within mine. Also, while I’m not prone to being starstruck, I am a huge fan of your work. Thanks for just being.
When I saw you and the band at Somerset House last month Patti I thought you were on fire. It was such an uplifting and beautiful night.
Now Somerset House is actually on fire burning in the Summer heat. Hopefully the people will have the power to put it out!! Wish I had a ticket to see you at St Paul's Cathedral. That will be an experience to treasure. All the best 😊
Agree so much regarding the flow of song lines with music - not always easy to remember them if you're not singing, I have done the same thing. The music and words belong together!
So lovely, thank you for making time even though you were tired, and I hope you slept beautifully.
So beautiful Patti Smith. Best bedtime story/song. Thank you for your wonderful soul. Your words and work have inspired my life since I first heard Horses in the 70’s as a 14 year old girl. Thank you for helping me grow and know People Have The Power.
I so admire how you are able to find joy despite despair, and how you are able to celebrate life despite so much loss. It's very inspiring, so thank you for that.

I love this song so! I heard it a lot in 2020 and think of that as my own Blakean year.
Next time I feel unappreciated, I will throw off my stupid cloak and make a magic carpet of it. Thanks for the inspo Patti.. We just ❤️ ya! Xxx
So throw off your stupid coat
And embrace all that you fear
For joy will conquer all despair.....
Thank you Patti - you are pure joy!
Awake in your sleep time-you send out sparks of light
And yes as artist we constantly face the challenge of the uncertain , alone
and yet
the road is paved with gold
and the road is just a road
As for the coat
We shed skin
Over and over again
So let us shed one more this stupid coat
and be in this world
but not of this world
This sharing you provide here is worth more then gold
ps:Yesterday was the 7th moon since my mother's passing
As i looked after her in the hospital once i wrote a note here
and you answered with a few powerful lines that meant more then you can possibly immagine for me in that moment, alone and my heart broken
Thank you again +
And forever
Sending Infinite love to allxxxxxx
God bless you
Merci Patti pour ce poème !
