Into The Night (versão Acústica)

Benny Mardones' 'Into The Night (versão Acústica)' is a poignant ballad that delves into the complexities of a forbidden love. The song's narrative centers around a man deeply in love with a sixteen-year-old girl, a relationship that society deems inappropriate. The opening lines, 'She's just sixteen years old / Leave her alone they say,' immediately set the stage for a love that is frowned upon by others. The lovers are 'separated by fools / Who don't know what love is yet,' suggesting that societal norms and judgments are the barriers keeping them apart.

The chorus, 'If I could fly / I'd pick you up / I'd take you into the night / And show you a love / Like you've never seen,' is a metaphor for the man's desire to transcend societal constraints and take the girl to a place where their love can flourish without judgment. The imagery of flying and taking her 'into the night' evokes a sense of escape and freedom, a world where their love can exist untainted. This dreamlike quality is further emphasized by the lines, 'It's like having a dream / Where nobody has a heart,' portraying a world devoid of empathy and understanding.

The song also touches on the theme of enduring love, as the man declares, 'I would wait till the end / Of time for you and do it again.' This line underscores his unwavering commitment and the timeless nature of his feelings. The acoustic version of the song adds an extra layer of intimacy and raw emotion, making the listener feel the depth of the man's love and longing. Benny Mardones' soulful delivery and heartfelt lyrics make 'Into The Night (versão Acústica)' a touching exploration of love that defies societal boundaries and endures against all odds.
