Has anyone got an MP3 of the Natalie Merchant version of "Because the Night?"
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I do. Live performance, at least. Not sure if there's another version.
Yeah, that's the only one-- the unplugged performance. Seemed like iTunes had every other version, including one by Springsteen, that I didn't even know existed, and one by some techno chick named Cascada that scared me.
You want it e-mailed?
Also, I believe the Springsteen is the original version.
I thought the Patti Smith was. And sure, I'd love it-- profile addy is great.

You can ignore my blabbering, then. Gimme a second to find it on the other computer, and I'll send it. on.
Bruce Springsteen wrote it for Patti Smith and it was her sole hit.
He didn't record it until later.
Trivia: He wrote "Hungry Heart" for the Ramones, but his manager wouldn't let him give it away.

Woohoo! I am sort of right!

I did not know that but it totally makes sense!
It's fun toting up the hit songs Bruce and Prince have written for other musicians.
