Patti Smith y su visión única del mundo trasciende generaciones. Esta leyenda, La madrina del punk (y el rock, el folk, pop… de todo) ha sido una poeta rebelde que despliega letras tan poderosas como provocadoras, desafiando el tiempo y la norma. Sus frases son como susurros de espiritualidad, pero también gritos de independencia y valentía que inspiran con su estilo inconfundible, y acá reunimos algunas de las más icónicas e intelectuales que estamos seguros siguen marcando vidas:
1. I haven’t fucked much with the past, but I’ve fucked plenty with the future.
Babelogue/ Easter LP/ 1978
2. Vengeful aspects became suspect and bending low as if to hear, and the armies ceased advancing because the people had their ear, and the shepherds and the soldiers.
People Have the Power/ Dream of Life LP/ 1988
3. I’m dancing barefoot heading for a spin, some strange music draws me in, makes me come on like some heroine.
Dancing Barefoot/ Wave LP, 1979
4. We’ll burn all of our poems add to god’s debris, we’ll pray to all of our saints, icons of mystery. We’ll tramp through the mire when our souls feeld dead, with laughter we’ll inspire then back to life again.
April’s Fool/ Banga LP, 2012
5. 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.
Because the Night/ Easter LP, 1978
6. I was a vision in another eye, and they saw nothing, no future at all, yet I was free, I needed nobody. It was beautiful.
Wing/ Gone Again LP, 1996
7. 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.
Gloria/ Horses LP, 1975
