love this song. first time I remember hearing it my mom had it blasting in teh car when her and my little sister came back from spring break in louisiana, also the same night she told me about my true love <3. i'll never forget it
@thedancingenius uh nooo, there's just some songs you just can't make over. some songs, like this one, need to be left to the original artist. i don't think anyone could remake this song to sound this good unless they sounded just like Benny Mardones....
Benny Mardones wrote this song about this sixteen year old girl who use to live in his building in Spanish Harlem. Her father walked out on the entire family, Benny felt sorry for her and paid her to walk his dog. One day, she came dressed up to go walk his dog and he said she was the most beautiful 16 year old he had ever seen. His friend said hey who's that. He told him, now she's just 16 years old, leave her alone, thus the song was born.
This song is one of my all time favorites. I can not get enough of this song. This song captured my musical heart from the first time I heard it years ago! What an amazing music!
I have never understrood the negative "Chester" comments about this wonderful song.
Throughout the history of pop music there have been several references to young females (for example, Ringo Starr..."She's 16, she's beautiful, and she's mine") and yet Benny seems to get slammed about it.
This song is about yearning, and pain, and wanting something forbidden.
I was about 16 when this song came out and I think it captured all the complexities of romance that my young mind questioned.
I almost hate to even say this...but I have to. I'm a rock-based musician (drummer), married guy with kids, pushing 40...To this day, there are only 2 songs in HISTORY that have ever actually made me cry. This is one of them. (the second is a Christian song called 'Tell Them' by Andrae Crouch & the Disciples).
I think I first heard it on 'Family Ties' 20+ years ago. Then lost it for about 10yrs. and rediscovered it. I didn't even know the performer's name. Just an incredible song.
If you can't land your helicopter..(the MedVac kind)..in that famous stadium...Or'in jus being ALLOWED to Waterski any lake!..His Voice As It's King...Better to Wanna Live It All Down, BENNIE!
I love this ballad. He's not talking about sexual or carnal feelings towards her. It's all romance, about the heart, and loving from afar. Sometimes that's enough. I've never got any 'yuck' feelings. It's a pure feeling and expression of devotion, longing, and wanting to rescue the person you care about from the ugliness.
hey my girlfriends 14 and I'm 19, and we don't even talk about sex... of course i have to wait until she's ready to even talk about it before i even think about mentioning it. but you dont need sex to show someone that you love them... just getting hugs and an occational peck on the cheeck is ok with me cuz i'll still give her everything...
This is one of the greatest rock power ballads EVER! Benny has an Amazing voice. And this song still sounds great. It charted in 1980 AND 1989. And I think it could chart today.
into the night...tiene tanto sentimiento que se puede sentir en cada palabra..es hermosa y mas aun cuando la escuchas al lado de la persona que amas...asi sea un amor imposible"
hes not a perv ya crack fuck! the 80s were different, people werent sick like they are now! anyways hes from my home town, hes like 40 now, and he still kicks ass!
this is one of the most enduring songs in my heart... i'd really like to see an actual video or live performance of this song, but for now this takes me back to a hope-filled, innocent time in my life where i wished i was loved as passionately as that...
The words you used to describe this and its place in your life are absolutely perfect and they fit my ilfe, as well. I'm 52 now and there are memories I have that will be forever attached to this song. Here's to the "haunting" of the past and good memories!!!
I experienced a passion like this in my early 20s, and this very song was "our song," even though it was "oldie" then. There are times now, 20 years later, I wish I could feel that innocent and yet passionate again.
I remember hearing this song every morning getting ready for school. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. Funny - I never knew who sang it till about 12-13 years ago!!!
I think this song came out when i was a teenager in the late 70-s and then it came out again in the late 80-s?? is this true,,, and its still timeless even 30 years later..
I remember this song. When my little sister was 12 she was in puppy love for the first and she played this song a million times, and i never got tired of it. Thanks for sending it.
My father grew up in the Syracuse region where Mardones has a huge following and he gave me a copy of the album, Never Run, Never Hide. The track "Mighta Been Love" and Dick Clark tribute, "American Bandstand" are my fav. tracks from NRNH.
And yeah, he does sound a bit like Steve Perry but Benny Mardones has a raspier voice than Steve Perry.
jumpygirl3 ..I have always loved this song. Thanks for sending it. I don't think he sounds like Steve Perry ....I actual hear more of Jeff Scott Soto in his voice...who I love very much also. ( you would have to be a fan to know what I'm talking about)
you should check out this album!! you'll really like it i'm sure... there are only a few of his albums out there still, but if you get your hands on one, grab it! i was fortunate enough to have someone burn some of his older stuff and he really is great!
i know, he is truly an amazing man, and in person, a real gentleman, love him to death! i'm sure anything you find for BEnny you will love, especially his "Angel" CD, which I believe is out of circulation but I do have 2 copies if you ever can't find it and want to hear it, i can send it to you...
this is the best sound quality so far for this song. he doesn't have a video for this song does he? i don't like what they did to this song when they re-released it in 2001, i think. it ruined the passion and emotion in his voice and the instrumentation sounds too structured and not at all like the original which sounds raw like it should. it was my first love song with my first boyfried when i was 15. i think i had sex to this song too. ha ha thank you.
Amazing song indeed. He definately NAILED the vocals, alot of feel and emotion went into the singing of this song. This is the best audio to this song I have heard on this site. Could you do the same for "I Wish It Would Rain Down" by Phil Collins? heehee

no official video to this song, but the album is the same as shown above (simply called Benny Mardones) and you probably can find it on ebay or another place I like is CD Universe, good prices and quick to deliver.
