One of the most positive things about Daisy Jones and The Six is ​​the original soundtrack, with the band’s songs collected on the Aurora album and sung by the cast. If it were a movie, they would be right for the Oscars, but we will have to wait for the 2024 Emmys. However, who opens the series and determines its rhythm is another artist, none other than the muse Patti Smith. And of course the choice of song was right: Dancing Barefoot.

One of the greatest successes in the career of the rocker and poet is inspired by a destructive and real love story. There is! It eliminates Daisy and Billy dears and it’s not about Stevie and Lindsey. It is about French artist Jeanne Hebuterne and Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani, described as “a short but passionate love affair with a bitter end”.

The relationship between Jeanne and Modigliani lasted about three years and obviously, she was his muse. But when he died of tuberculous meningitis, Jeanne, who was pregnant with their second child, fell into a deep depression and jumped out of the window. Calm down, the Daisy and Billy comparison stopped at the brief and intense. The two outlived themselves, as we’ve known from the beginning.

Patti, however, uses Jeanne Hebuterne as a symbol of women who are willing to sacrifice for pure love and yet another example of what is Divine. As he said at the time, “the song addresses both physical and spiritual love.”

Launched in 1979, there is a controversy that also fits with the series. The drugs. She sings about “heroin” and it’s ambiguous whether it’s about the drug or the feminine hero, as she claims. “Makes me come like a heroine” appears to be a reference to addiction and drunkenness because she also sings about intoxication, which can be psychological. According to the author, however, she is dancing barefoot because the music is pulling her into a higher state of consciousness, relieving her of her inhibitions and making her feel like a heroine, the female form of “hero”, but it doesn’t help. who dedicated Dancing Barefoot to “heroin rites” and said that Jim Morrison was also an influence in writing it.

No wonder the producers recognized that this classic perfectly defined Daisy, who has an almost spiritual connection to music.

She is benediction
She is addicted to you
She is the root connection
She is connecting with him

Here I go and I don’t know why
I flow so ceaselessly
Could it be he’s taking over me
I’m dancing barefoot
Headin’ for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
It makes me come up like some heroine

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He who is chosen by she

Here I go and I don’t know why
I flow so ceaselessly
Could it be he’s taking over me
I’m dancing barefoot
Headin’ for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
It makes me come up like some heroine

She is recreation
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she

Here I go and I don’t know why
I flow so ceaselessly
Could it be he’s taking over me
I’m dancing barefoot
Headin’ for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
It makes me come up like some heroine

Oh God I fell for you
