No, we need that power, and use it wisely. Now we only can choose among mainly clowns, greedy souls or their offspring who also want to have their taste of power. People are led to believe they have power, but often it is a smoke screen.
This song should be rereleased today. I think the world has caught up and it has a timely message. I really believe it could be a top 40 hit. Give it a shot, Patti.

My 10 year old daughter logically listens to the contemporary talents that she likes such as Taylor, Olivia, Ed, Dua, Ariana, etc. But I am so glad she has the open mind to enjoy the ones from my time. So much so that she performed People Have the Power this past weekend at the Church : Untitled in downtown Vancouver, Canada. My daughter had auditioned for the event playing her drum arrangement of the song. She was selected, but for technical reasons she ended up playing a piano arrangement that she created nine days before the performance. Thank you Patti for such a timeless song and for inspiring my daughter.
Arguably one of the most genuine and emotionally-charged rock masterpieces of the 20th century. I can't listen to it without feeling a powerful right hook to my breadbasket that knocks the very wind out of me.
I love Patti's view of working people. They all have value and need to be elevated. Working people should be revered and paid living wages that house, clothe, and comfort them.

I really needed to see/hear this again today, as the county rips itself apart, as mourning becomes anger, as hate takes the upper hand, this shines as a sort of anthem. Let us make the most of this moment, this opportunity.
The first time I heard this wonderful song was in 1996, in an equally wonderful French film : "Un Air De Famille". Since then, I can listen to it on repeat with the same emotion....
The best track of all times, there's not a single day without it.. singing not only once, thanks gorgeous Patty never stop believe in. . .people have the power, you can bet on it ❤🎉❤
I discovered and fell instantly in love with Miss PATTIE SMITH when her album EASTER came out 1978,I was 16 and every Saturday I would look at every album that K-MART had and chose carefully and haphazardly at what treasures that my allowance would let me bring home. Miss PATTIE SMITH won that week, YEAHHHH!!! her deep RAVEN hair, her hidden secret eyes, her soon to be discovered enticing, hypnotic powerful VOICE, thank you for hooking me with your visions. ✌️forever from SPACE RANGER JYM 🚀
I've had this CD for decades, but only recently have I been able to decipher how truly glorious this song is. Patti gets my vote for our present-day reincarnation of Walt Whitman.
Other female performers are pale in comparison to Patti Smith who is more than an entertainer. She is a brilliant songwriter and singer, her songs always have meaning and substance and in many ways she is the represents the embodiment of an absolute activist who stands for peoples freedom and equality in all it's aspects. In a word she is the best!
WHEN I LISTEN TO PATTI SMITH I GET CHILLS FROM HEAD TO TOES, IT MEANS SHE IS AN OUTSTANDING SINGER, I WOULD LOVE MORE IF POSSIBLE. LOVE IT. PATTI SINGS WITH EMOTIONS.
A timeless classic and anthem for this and indeed ANY era - especially during these times of global uncertainty - from the High Priestess of COOL... Spot ON - on ALL counts... Especially the lyrics... I mean, '... people have the power to dream... to rule... to wrestle the Earth from fools...' - Amen to THAT! Kia KAHA (ever be strong) and best wishes from New Zealand... Keep well, y'all...
Maintain the rage people. Trust in Patti, believe verily. She's never spoken falsely, always speaking out and up. "Evil happens globally when good folks look away." 87 seconds to "Midnight" people!!! PS. 🎉,❤ you Patti, 🏴☠️🎼☮️🌏 xxoo you go girl.
Thanks 🙏 Patty for all this years of inspiration ! I was 18teen, when i saw you in concert and you spat on us, as the tradition. Great moment ! 20 years later, i learned that people have the power if we fight for it. Kiss from Paris and Take Care My Legend !
Un Temazo Magnífico, desde España ( Europa ), mi más profunda Admiración, a Patti Smith, a mis 57 años, eres el Icono para mi. No existiría, la música, sin ti. Gracias
Congrats to Patti for being awarded the Key to NYC! This ole Cass Corridor Detroit person has been a big fan for decades along with everyone I know. You have SO deserved this and more..😍
In my youth I've often danced on this song at the disco never realizing the beauty of it! Now, at the age of 45, I've discovered the beauty of the music, the depth of the lyrics and the power of the song. An evergreen masterpiece! Thanks for your commitment, Patti! 💛💜💛
I love Patti...for her persevering spirit...and for the fact...that more than most...she doesn't give a crap what anyone rinks of her. She's been true to her art...that's all she can do...and she's done terrific. KICK ASS>
Thank you so much for all the music for all the power you have for all the lyrics... love you all my life... you are like my sister my mother my teacher my leader my soul ... thanks for beiing ❤️🙏❤️😎
As we are heading into WWIII I want to believe we can stop this madness. I hope to re-read this post in a few years to discover that we were all able to stop what is going on in 2023.
Rem buying this, still sounds as good as it did then and the message is just as important today, shes an amazing person then and now . People have the power !!
Patti Smith & Joni Mitchell are the voices of many.
Canzoni senza tempo sempre stupende da ascoltare. ❤
This is exactly the song we need now.
After Joe Biden's "election"? lol.

Haven't found much better in life than a tormented rock star and writer who have the power to save your life. This is Patti Smith.
Hello
Everything in life gets better to the sound of Patti Smith.
Re release this song NOW! Should be on radio everyday!
This song should be rereleased today. I think the world has caught up and it has a timely message. I really believe it could be a top 40 hit. Give it a shot, Patti.

So relevant today in this upside down world, c'mon people!!!!
UNITE!!!
The high priestess of poetry and punk, worthy of the status of elder stateswoman.
I couldn't imagine a world without her.
Can I quote you, James Linkletter? I couldn't say it any better! Her lyrics are the scripture that fill me with spirit
@@Treaure
Absolutely. Thank you
Well said!
My students, in their teens, listened to this in class today and really enjoyed it!! They were singing it along the corridors...Priceless!!
:)
Cool it is timeless. Just as relevant today as when released
hahahahahah fantastic
Now - one year further - I Hópe they Vote!!!
I plan on having my student analzyze this in class this week! Any tips? I teach 10th grade English.
Some songs will never cease to be relevant.

We're going to need this song; I have a feeling.
One of my all-time favorite songs. The emotion it generates is powerful.
Totally agree Tim
just reminding you , you should listen to this song today 😉
She makes an emotional mess in me.
A good one

I love Patti's view of working people. They all have value and need to be elevated. Working people should be revered and paid living wages that house, clothe, and comfort them.
Brava 🎉ben detto
Working people are "the people", without us, there is nothing, no billionaires, no infrastructure, no nothing!
Patti, your song is always a symbol for us, PEOPLE!!!,✊🏼
Encore merciiiii
Such a powerful message Patti is sending to us. Take hold.
Je l'écoute depuis un moment et je l'écouterai encore longtemps, c'est une superbe femme et engagé pour nous, chapeau madame SMITH
This song.These lyrics. For Now. Forever.
Thank you, Patti Smith, for being brave and smart and strong. Thank you for writing songs with lyrics that inspire and motivate.
...and unite!
Brave ? In what sense ?
just reminding you , you should listen to this song today 😉

I get goose bumps listening to this interpreter named Patti Smith.
I really needed to see/hear this again today, as the county rips itself apart, as mourning becomes anger, as hate takes the upper hand, this shines as a sort of anthem. Let us make the most of this moment, this opportunity.
Amen!
I embrace that, Aldo.
You did it!
this woman emanates power, in the purest of form
GRAZIE !!
One of the most uplifting songs ever recorded!!

I love her since I’m 12 or 13. And still do. One of the very few, who never lost her courage, credibility and freedom.❤
Yessss!
I was dreaming in my dreaming❤💯
🕒
@tonycostanzo4276 Yeah.
This made me cry, it's so beautiful and true. Revolution is here.
Or should be, and will . . .
Revolution for Peace, not for War, Anger and Hate.
Save your anger for free speech , not for taking up arms and destruction.
Cool retro from the 80’s that should be the theme song for 2020.
Very true
My thoughts exactly! 👊
Agreed. Check out if you haven’t already. :) peoplesparty.org/
It should be the theme song for each and every year!
This was my jam in 2006 when we flipped the House. Let's do it again.

Truly the one of the best songs ever made with that voice, I'm glad Arrow Classic Rock plays it every day at least once
Patti c'est un hymne à la musique ,sans barrières,sans couleurs, sans discriminations aucunes .
Elle représente un idéal pour moi et ma vie ;)
Je suis tout à fait d'accord, si tu ne l'as pas lu je te conseille l'excellent "Patti Smith : Fille de Rimbaud"
Ou, à lire, "M train"
Oui mon aussi ses chansons ce sont des hymnes à la vie et à l'amour!✌
I am inordinately pleased to see that Patti and I both have 18th century handwriting.
Thank you for giving the hungarian opposition party this powerful song 🇭🇺 “A hatalom a népé!”
Der Song passt einfach super in diese Zeit…😅
