Good evening! It's Gail Nobles from the CAT BEAR. Tonight I'm thinking of Benny Mardones, and I'm thinking of his song, Into The Night.

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.

Into the night hit the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart twice in 1980 (#11) and again in 1989 (#20). Mardones co-wrote the 1980 soft rock hit with Robert Tepper.

Benny Mardones said: "It's about a young girl 16 yrs. old who use to walk my dog every morning before school and her family. And the father abandoned them. She came to get the dog one morning. We were up all night writing, and as she walked out, Robert said, "Oh my goodness."

And I said, "She's just 16 yrs old. Leave her alone." And I said, "Play that lick again and I went .. She's just 16 yrs old ......"

Announcer: The song is about abandonment of kids. It was not about Benny with a 16 yrs. old girl.

Benny Mardones: She was like a kid sister to me. Her and her brother and her sister.

Announcer: As we listen to the song, we hear it as romantic. So there is more explanation to it. You're listening to Explanae Moment. Today's topic is "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones. ..
