He certainly is doing more to muddy the waters than to clear things up for people to see his true intentions.

A G according to Wikipedia, Benny was born in 1946, and unless there was a Blitzkrieg in the 60s I don’t know about, I’d say Benny was telling an entertaining fib to promote Angie McCartney’s memory. Later on in the text form of the Songfacts interview he says that Heidi went on to marry the son of a house builder from Cuba, so absolutely Benny did not, would not end up with her.

The story he told wasn’t what I was expecting to hear. That’s very touching how he helped those young people deal with their father’s desertion. It sounded like a painful time for them. I also love how he protected the sixteen year old girl from his friend by saying “she’s just sixteen years old, leave her alone”. That’s good advice and apparently a good song concept. I did wonder why the video showed a sixteen year old girl being groomed by an older man. Back in my day a man or woman would call a young person that age “jail bait” because that’s where you’d end up messing with someone that young. I doubt as an artist you have a lot of control of how your music is marketed by record companies. He didn’t mention the video concept so I’ll leave it at that. I have to confess the song reminds me of when I was 18 and l fell for a guy who was 32. He was my first real adult love. He was embarrassed by our relationship, but I felt mature. But in the end, I was too young and immature because I broke his heart. I love the artistry of the song and the talent, but like he said “she’s just sixteen years old, leave her alone.” No making out on flying carpets or anywhere else.

Unfortunately for Benny hamburglar, he had no concept of KZfaq when he was telling conflicting stories about who the 16 yo girl really is in his life. There's another video floating around KZfaq called Benny Mardones' Farewell to Angie McCartney. In it, he says its written about her.. besides, isnt he doing it backwards? Hes supposed to be public about your humanitarian efforts and private about the perverted ones.

He's not necessarily saying that it's right, more maybe that it is a fact of life that some people feel? Don't know why he needed to kiss her though. It's creepy none the less. He should have just made a video of stealing her from an abusive home and taking her to Disney land or something rather than kiss her lmao.

I love this song, the video, and I love his voice! You can tell how much this song meant to him while he sings it. I heard the story behind the lyrics, and I think(just my opinion) that this was just the beginning of how he came to meet the kids, and esp. Heidi. I think maybe over time of her coming over to walk the dog every morning he probably really grew a connection/attraction to her, and he wanted to express it through this song . It is a beautiful romantic song, and I know that when a girl is 16 she is attracted to the idea of an older man being attracted to her. I think Benny started off wanting to help, and ended up really liking this girl because why not ever mention the older sister the 17 year old girl? Benny Mardones what a sweet soul you will be missed , but your song will live on, and will continue to make people smile.

This sounds like a true story to me. Benny seems like a stand up guy in every interview video I've ever seen him do. The video is a hollywooded-up video. Record companies want to sell records. In 1980 music videos were just becoming a thing and artists had very little if any say in how they were made. Just show up here and do what your told type thing. My pervometer is very accurate and I don't sense that in Benny at all. It is a beautiful song and his vocals are mind blowing on it. INCREDIBLY SEXY ;-)

Yeah pervometers are great aren't they-unfortunately mine broke down the other day. Only had it a week(made in China I think). What happened was, I aimed it towards a lady that looked like she could be into some pretty warped stuff, and within seconds it began wildly vibrating in my hand,sparks were flying in all directions, while piercing noises deafened everyone within 50 metres-until finally it exploded and completely fell apart! I never did find out whether it was due to poor workmanship,or I'd finally met the girl of my dreams and my little pervometer just couldn't handle the pace. Such is life. Um-I was just wondering-could you lend me yours?

I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt (and respect for those who have died), but my gut feeling is that there is more to the story. Why does he gloss over the tasks of the older daughter and not mention her by name? Also, why would he even notice what the 16-year old daughter is wearing? Like you, I am a Christian, so I know that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and I think this is an example. Still, a song I have always liked and never connected with anything perverse in the past. My pervometer is sounding an alarm.

Great Interview and insight into the Song into the Night By Bennie Mardones

@saltress1126 3 жыл бұрын

Wow. I lived that too as a girl. My Dad left my Mom and 3 babies 3weeks before Christmas. I didn’t know him until I was 16 and had to live with him and his NEW Family and met and fell in love with a young guy who worked with him and I was and still am in love with this man but I had to leave because he was abusive I never told anyone I just left. The heartbreak pain I endured 35 years ago is still a daily feeling of loss, plus only knowing my Father for the 2 years I had to legally stay there. I was so full of pain, anger and resentment because I had a front row seat to a life he took from us and gave to others. Brutal to watch. My parents knew each other from the 5th grade, married has kids, he cheats, he leaves. 16 years later I meet him and move in and fall endlessly in love with this young man a bit older than me who brutally abused me. It was so painful to leave and although I knew I had to protect myself I didn’t want to be without this person, and sadly enough 35 years later I’m still damaged emotionally by this love that could not survive through all that. I left my fathers house because that too was unhealthy. We never spoke again. Years later, over the phone I called him in the hospital just before he died and he never not once apologized to my siblings or me not to mention my mother who did the best she could being left at 23 with 3 babies to raise. She never remarried, and I’ve never married because unfortunately I never loved anyone the way I still Love this person every single day. The pain is beyond comprehension. I’m proud I was smart and strong enough to take care of myself and leave, but I did know then he was my one true love and I couldn’t live a lie I’ve never been in love with anyone like how I feel for this person. He chose to settle marry have kids and live a lie...good on paper would never be good enough for me. P.S. I know for a fact he feels the same because he told me. This song was one that always reminded me of him....in a perfect world it should have all been very different. I truly love the real history/meaning behind this song as I just learned it now. Touching and endearing to hear a man appreciate what that family really had to deal with. I’ll never understand why some men can just walk away or hit a girl/Woman ever. For some reason I felt compelled to share all this. I have no regrets as I have lived my life with dignity and grace as best I could. Thank you for sharing this. Will always be a favorite song. 📻❤️🥀🎼

It was a different time....when I was 16 my boy friend was 18....people are so polarized now. It was a beautiful love song that I will always cherish. I was 19 when this song came out and I love it to this day. It is so different today. Everyone hates everybody and can hide behind a user name and remain anonymous. As I said....a different generation.....and as far as I can see, a better generation.

@@acemase3960Yes, I listened to the whole story But I'm still not buying it .It is very easy to tell a heartbreaking story to garner sympathy,, but it does not necessarily mean that it is true. Did you watch the video ? And as you say lyrics are clear and does not add to his current explanation.

The video is crap, but the story was told when the song came out and the kids he’s talking about confirmed it, the song helped them get to radio shows and the girl ended up marrying a man she met through the radio show. That changed their lives. She was present at his funeral and talked to many people about it, in 40 years those kids, now adults remained friends with Benny

This is an awesome song, soon as you hear that bass thumping in the beginning you can't get the volume turned up quick enough. If your hung up on the lyrics or video then get a life. It's a fucking song. And I love it. Benny had the voice and nailed it.
