Patti Smith is an absolute rock 'n' roll legend, one of the most punk, original artists ever. She came on the NY scene in the '70s, and was super ahead of her time, along with bands like Television. She was completely different than the other punk bands before her, such as the straightforward, heavy rock of The Ramones, instead using a lot of piano, and incorporating elements of jazz and poetry, bringing a much more art-punk element to the scene.

This song is from the album Horses, released in 1975, and it is probably my favorite on that album (although they are all amazing). The key change between the verse and chorus is SO good, I love the change from Bmaj to Gmaj (although the first chord change goes to a Bb, adding a really cool feeling and breaking up the 1,4,5 form the other parts use) and the way it moves back to Bmaj, sliding up from D to E, Fnatural, and F#.

Hope you guys enjoy the tunes!
