Patti Smith

[MulletProof]

I love that she actually managed to rescue what's pretty about that song and unlike the 'HAHAs! this must be humor cause you're so above it' audience sounds at the beginning, she seems so modest about it and doesn't even try to own it. She's so wonderful.

she really extracted the poetry out of that song. i'm not really a fan of rihanna and i've never really listened to that song full-on before but i adore her interpretation.
