[retroefist]

@retroefist Thank you very much, cheers.

[afitz32]

i can understand why people might find this song disturbing, but come on ppl lets not criticize the song. its awesome. i wish i was alive when this song came out.

[xxxdannyxxx]

@afitz32

the song is not about being a relationship with a young girl. it is about helping a young girl in having smile after her father left her mother and the family for a younger woman.

this is a true story that he experienced.

[thepi41]

his voice is intoxicating

[lindaenos]

Very Beautiful Song!!! :)

[Pimpin163]

@jimmyjames6440 I ANIT HATEING I LOVE THIS SONG

[paulyps]

No sabía que la persona que compuso e interpreta esta canción es hijo de un chileno. Ahh, ahí se explica su apellido Mardones, popular en Chile. Okay, pero lo importante es el tema, es precioso!!

[MrLarson40]

@paulyps Gracias por sus comentarios, abraços.

[alinsonfer77]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONG! THAT BEAUTYFUL SONG TAKE ME BEYOND TO THE IMAGINATION.

[MrLarson40]

@alinsonfer77 Thanks for your comments, cheers.

[DannyBoySP101]

you dont know anything about this song,classic all the way malt liquor

[takemeback2]

It does sound like the originally played on radio 1980 or 1981 version. Always very appealling as soon as it started playing.

[MrLarson40]

@takemeback2 Thanks for your comments, cheers.

[l1nkh0gthr0b]

At least 8 people on this planet have no taste whatsoever. Zip, zilch, zero, nada.

[MrLarson40]

@l1nkh0gthr0b Thanks for your comments, cheers.

[jimmyjames6440]

This is the best version of this song. I keep hearing another version that sounds like it's a studio version.

[lindaenos]

So Beautiful!!! :)



[MrLarson40]

@lindaenos Thank you, hugs.

Link to the interview where Benny explains the real inspiration for the song. It's a beautiful song, with an equally beautiful meaning behind it.

[andamedon]

beyond conus the creativity and perception of the same,in other words is a

broader subject, the threshold of dreams come true is in one's willingness to

keep the ego at bay and give way to the true self...

[MrLarson40]

@andamedon Thanks for your comments, cheers.

[MrLarson40]

@andamedon Thanks for your comments, cheers.

[MrLarson40]

@andamedon Ok, thanks for your comments, hugs.

beautiful video. very nice images. sorry to hear about mr. mardones' health troubles. good singer.

[MrLarson40]

@arnold84500 Thank you very much for your comments, cheers.

[MrLarson40]

@LADYLONEWOLF1 Thank's for your comments, cheers.

[DeidreChavira]

pedophile. 

[MrLarson40]

@DeidreChavira A definition very serious about this music, I think you are being too harsh in his comments. But we live in a democracy, every person speak what they want, just as I analyze a song that speaks of love....Ivan from Brazil.

[DeidreChavira]

@MrLarson40 just curious...do they mess around with young girls in brazil?

[MrLarson40]

@DeidreChavira I try to make videos that speak of love, romantic in every sense, love is universal here in Brazil and the rest of the world.

[steveskin1]

I didn't realize this song came out in 1980. It was all over the radio in 1993-1994.

[MrLarson40]

@steveskin1 Is true, thanks for the comments, hugs.

[doobyboy21]

Am I the only one smoking weed to this song?

[thepi41]

his voice is intoxicating.

[MrLarson40]

@thepi41 certainly, thank you, hugs.

[34jcub]

[MrLarson40]

@34jcub I do not know.....

[Zaikeria8]

[MrLarson40]

@Darkangel7438 According to what rules the community of youtube, thank's for your comments.

[LeeLeeDe1]

Just LOVE this song!!! Wonder what happend to Benny Mardones?? He was basically a one hit wonder here in U.S.

[Pleyades100]

Si pudiera volar...te recogería, te llevaría hacia la noche y te mostraría un amor que jamás has visto.....

Me encanta esta canción...

Tu video es una obra de arte....he disfrutado muchísimo viéndolo...

Saludos.....

[MrLarson40]

@Pleyades100 MUCHAS GRACIAS, ABRAÇOS.

[edsfountain]

why in this world is there so many negative comments or so much personal insane interperpetation of what one thinks this song really means or is about: it is not literal! For fricken sake, have a brain and realize music is storytelling! And even if this song might have likenesses to people say like BIll Clinton, Prince Andrew, or even governor Spitzer, the main point is that Benny Mardones is singing with an incredible voice and just telling a story! Not doing the Story............

[MrLarson40]

@edsfountain comment splendid, fantastic interpretation of the song, cheers



[tgmuzik]

Nicely said. I mean, seriously has anyone blamed Stephen King for pets coming back alive and killing people, or possessed trucks that like to eat people lol. It's a story, and a beautiful song. If everyone was libel for everything they said out of context then we would have all be jailed or executed. Get on with yourself, and leave art for someone else.

[dbrinkm1]

@edsfountain Right on ! This song displays & showcases a tremendous vocal talent and is not meant to be a political statement ! Enjoy the song for what it is...a Great vocal arrangement !

[antidiz]

Ohhhhhhh, does this song bring back some great memories

[MrLarson40]

@antidiz Thank you, cheers.

[Doobie1975]

Great song, don't like the subject matter of the song but the music is really good and the singer sings with a lot of emotion and substance, I used to think this was a black singer when I've first heard of the song

[spanner818]

i have a school friend who was 22 and started dating a 16yr old and 14yrs later they are still madly in love

[spanner818]

31 yrs later and i still love this song!

[58lastewart]

if its true love at sixteen..it will be true love at eighteen....just saying

[MrLarson40]

@58lastewart Is true...

[geissler91]

@58lastewart Christ, just look up the real meaning of the song. There's a video of the interview with the damn guy right here on youtube.

[MrLarson40]

@RBCHILD4EV Thanks for your comments, cheers.

[dvsbeauty1]

this song is NOT about pedophilia.that's your warped interpretation of this beautiful song. do more research behind this song ( to all those who have a "pedophilia" mind set.)

[spanner818]

@dvsbeauty1 it may be about true love but pedophealia does cross ppls minds

[spanner818]

Respond to this video... it may be about true love but paedophilia does cross ppls minds

[ForeverYoungIAm]

This song is the ultimate representation of sexual exploration with someone younger than you (in a legal sense). Ie an 18 year old having a long relationship with a 16 year old. This song is sexually represented in a way of true compassion and romance. The true beauty of this song is that there is love, burning to find you - even in a bruised reflection. The bruise being that people 'bash' this kind of love. In closing what are your thoughts on this?

FYIA

[MrLarson40]

@ForeverYoungIAm Great comment, cheers.

[DarkFlamage]

@ForeverYoungIAm Benny tells what this song is about at song facts dot com go there and learn, my son!

[ForeverYoungIAm]

@DarkFlamage Fuck off, don't call me your son, like your my father. I am an adult with an education. And read this in the song fact is says two things:

Songfacts is a searchable database of song information where we do our best to tell the stories behind the songs. When possible, we interview the songwriters.

The artist rarely ever is intervied - check your sources son.

[DarkFlamage]

@ForeverYoungIAm Okay, EXLAX!!, LOL......Let me clue you in on something, right now, it's your LACK of education that's showing.

I personally read the interview I am refering to....i.e., it's there....From Benny Mardones himself.

My question to you is a simple one>>>>How do you presume to know what this song is about?

I'll believe what I read from the man who actually wrote it.

I am willing to concede one point how-ever, I AM NOT your father! (Thank God for small favors!!) Haaaaaaaaa

[geissler91]

@ForeverYoungIAm Christ, just look up the real meaning of the song. There's a video of the interview with the damn guy right here on youtube.

[Base2lovesBase1]

Didn't this song come out as a hit at two different decades? I know it was popular in the '80's, but for some reason I am thinking it came out in another decade and was a hit all over again.

[exoticlonghair]

cont...con chicos/hombres mayores que ellas,4-en muchas culturas-incluyendo la nuestra- y tiempos la relacion mujer joven-hombre mayor ha sido la norma por siglos,5-a todas las mujeres sin importar la edad les gusta que les canten bonito,6-esta bola de hipocritas que hablan horrores de esta rola,como no les dan miedo reality shows,programas de spring breaks y peliculas donde promueven las drogas,alcohol,sexo casual,ilegitimidad y violencia entre la juventud,ahi si no dicen nada.

[exoticlonghair]

una hermosa melodia, sensual y tranquila,se la puedes dedicar a quien sea tenga 16,90 o 1000 años,independientemente de los comentarios negativos de gente horrible que no tiene nada que hacer excepto hablar mierdas de los demas:1-a los 16 años una persona es adolescente,adolescencia y niñez no son lo mismo,2-pedofilo es el que se mete con niños, es decir personas que no han llegado a la pubertad,3-las chicas maduran antes que los chicos-fisica y emocionalmente-por eso andan...cont

[RobertGary1]

Such a romantic song until you realize it's about pedophilia.

[MrLarson40]

@RobertGary1 For people who have a brain too small, unfortunately I disagree with you, it's a beautiful love song. but we live in a democratic country and I respect your opinion, cheers.

[RobertGary1]

@MrLarson40 Have you listened to the lyrics?? "She's just sixteen years old. Leave her alone, they say," In the video her fathers chases him away but he sneaks into her room at night. I agree its a good song but I think you have selective hearing.

[BillG37]

@RobertGary1 I've never seen the video, but I just found out what the song is really about. Go to songfacts website (stupid YouTube won't let me post the URL in any form) & read his description of the song. I guess what we hear isn't always so black and white.

[Slightlysinful2]

@MrLarson40 your so stupid

[Slightlysinful2]

@RobertGary1 sorry Mrlarson40 that comment was made for RobertGary.. You are so stupid

[thisux7x7]

@RobertGary1 There is no way you could think this about someone who is a pedophile...It is more like that inbetween time frame between a 16 and 18 year old...In our country we have rules that are based on age and not maturiy.....Some 16 year olds are more like adults than some 60 year olds..But I do understand what you mean..It is an iffy subject......

[Obelisk2290]

great video

[rrockhard1]

usher did a ok job but the original woooooow dammm go0d take me back~!!! go0d song~!

[BobMak]

5 people had a dream and they were the ones with no heart.

[MrLarson40]

I accept all comments, each person accepts the feelings in a way interpreted in a song, the moment it is important to note that evaluation, thank you for your comments, hugs. Ivan from Brazil.

[ThePeachybbw]

I heard my daughter playing Usher one day and she asked me was that from another song and i recognized it right away. I always say that some songs are meant to be left alone but usher sampled it(he didn't remake it). But he did a damn good job with the sample.

[grape14]

love this one and the remake by usher!

[MrLarson40]

@grape14 ok, thanks, hugs.

[brinalacey2009]

love it!

[MrLarson40]

Cool, I also, hugs.

[MrLarson40]

Cool, I also, hugs.

[otonieldogs2]

Fantástico!

[hendo337]

I love the last 1 and A half mins when he gets into "Orgasm mode" :D lol

[MrLarson40]

Cool...........

[ALLEYMADEYUNGIN73]

listen to the lyrics....he's singing about taking a 16 yr old girl into the night.....and showing her love....if ever there was a pedophile anthem...this is it. just my opinion. minus the words, i really do like the melody to this song.

[sexycatd]

I love each version of this song. I will never get tired of this :D I must say that this is a very beautiful love song. The pictures you chose for this video are lovely. My favorite part is "I can't measure my love, there's nothing to compare to." ♥

[MrLarson40]

Thank you, you are very kind, your sweet words make me happy, health, peace, love and success in your life, hugs.......

Ivan from Brazil

[sexycatd]

@MrLarson40 You're very welcome. Thank you for this well done video and for sharing with us!

[MrLarson40]

COOL.........Hugs.

[maple1255]

A really beautiful song .. thank you for the history about Benny Mardones, I was so sorry to hear that he has been ill ... he sings with his whole heart and soul

[MrLarson40]

Thank you very much for your words, cheers.

[MrChanceMan66]

I really like this. Always been one of my 80s favs

[meboy76]

one of the great songs love it.

[knight1768]

HEY MR.LARSON ITS CURT,FIGURES SOMEORE MAGIC HUH?YOU BLOW MY MIND,SO GOOD TO SEE YOUR STUFF AGAIN

[Skinnyjoeymerlino]

Nicely put together group of stills. As for the lyrics of this song---I guess we'll have to take solace in that the guy's age is never given, so maybe he's only 18 or 19.

[MrLarson40]

Thank's for your comments, cheers.

[RomneyGack]

Well, if she was 16 in 1980 that would make 47 right now.

[MrLarson40]

Is true, thank's for your comments, cheers.

[BillG37]

@RomneyGack What's funny is she's still 16 in 1989. LMAO

[MsBluheart]

Beautiful song....one of my favorites......and beautiful images. Thank you :)

[nutsocket]

love this tune..,,this is the only version worth hearing... thank you...

[Lif3G0es0n]

i would wait till the end of time for you, and do it again. It's true.

[laenzdaniel]

this was the first song that belongs to the 80s

[LetsGo6009]

Great video! and the original version is just so much better than the later ones

[MrLarson40]

Thank you. cheers.

[don417]

liberal panzy neo-nazi fascists just gotta hate.

[MariaElia210]

this song came out 6 years before i was born but i STILL love it! I was raised listenin to this music and other than rock this is all i listen to!

[biggs6108]

love this song, usher did remake to this song

[MrLarson40]

Yes, thank you for your comments, hugs.

[jroanna]

OMG u all r so good what do u use..my WMM keeps crashing..after I updated my

K lite codec ..I can't use trans..or do anything to much.. It just crashes..Help..

[xposidenx]

why is it people have a problem with this songs and songs similar to it but they will sit there and love music about people murduring and raping 12 year olds. and watch movies where children are raped, and call it a good movie?

[MrLarson40]

Yes, excellent comment, people may think so, chers

[jm3756]

@xposidenx There's songs about raping 12 year olds?

[xposidenx]

@jm3756

probly.. =) i think i meant about the movies...

[BillG37]

@xposidenx I assume you're talking about the movie "Hounddog"? I kinda agree, they could've done the movie without the rape scene & just let the audience know what happened some other way. I've never seen the movie, and don't intend to see it because of that scene. As far as movies & music in general, people are intrigued by violence, despite their hatred for it. That's why we have so many movies like "Halloween" and "Saw." In reality, it's disgusting. In fantasy, it's intriguing.

[HomelessOnline]

@xposidenx - Well it's like this: if you glorify love between a male and female who see each other as equals, it's "sexism." If some lowlife from the 'hood glorifies knocking up teenage girls and not fathering his kids [plural], it's "a celebration of multiculturalism." If same lowlife berates females--due especially to those who spurn his "advances" (for lack of a better word), it's "ebonics." Overriding factor, i.e., why this doesn't apply to every person: race-baiting. The "New American!"

[xposidenx]

@HomelessOnline i'm sorry.. but WHAT?!?!

[Ilovepaolo23]

@xposidenx PEOPLE should just accept a song for what it is - A SONG, nothing more, its not about

anything dirty, just enjoy it! This song has been around for over 20 years and will always be around because

it is a beautiful song sung by a great artist!

[xposidenx]

@Ilovepaolo23 oh. thats what you meant.. sorry what you typed before was confusing me for some reason.. lol

[xposidenx]

@Ilovepaolo23 oh.. what the other guy was saying.... lol... you're both saying the same thing lol.. i keep getting confused today lol...

[Ilovepaolo23]

@xposidenx its okay

[lilabeef]

Beautiful song and beautiful video, but really people, this is a child molester singing about wanting to rape a 16 year old girl. Maybe this is okay in chile, but not in America, pal.

[PROCOPIO2123]

lembrome dos meus tempos de adolescentes

[MrLarson40]

Legal, obrigado pelos comentários, abraços.

[belmontmike]

Benny hit a homerun with this song!!

[Flooner75]

For all of you "child molester" worriers, just think of this being sung by a guy who's 21 or 22 years old...believe me, those guys get razzed for dating high school girls but it's certainly not 'child molesting' unless Dad shows up with a shotgun ::ahem:: Anyway, the point is, if they're only five years or so older, what's the problem? I don't see some 40-ish guy singing this, to be honest.

[MrLarson40]

Respect your comments. cheers.

[lilabeef]

@Flooner75 Er, hello! Even if the guy singing this were 21 or 22, as a father, I would still kill him if he lusted after my 16 year old daughter. And really, he could have sung that she's eighteen or nineteen years old, and that would have fit into the song. Why, if he is not a child molester, did he not do so, and rather use sixteen as the age of the girl?

[MrLarson40]

I'm from Brazil, and before making the video, the music translate into Portuguese, frankly, did not notice anything vulgar in music, I realized that he sings with great emotion and feelings, everyone looks bad in a way, thanks for your comments , cheers.

[lilabeef]

@MrLarson40 Cheers to you my friend. And yes, this is a beautiful song, which I have loved ever since I first heard it. (Of course, when I first heard it, I was very young, and did not pay attention to the words.)

@lilabeef

Have you ever heard of "Artistic License?" It's a song, for gawd&#
