Into The Night

i was 16 when i first heard this song - many years ago .. while i didn't quite understand the significance of it deeper meaning, i always knew i loved it for a reason ..

earlier tonight, i responded to another blogger's post about 'falling' for a friend .. you know that old instance - when friends become lovers .. ? the old adage - you don't see what's in front of you ?

how many countless songs or movies have been written and portrayed about this situation .. ?

train's 'drops of jupiter' rang true for many of us .. what about the movie 'reality bites' where winona ryder and ethan hawke get blasted by the 'fall' unexpectedly .. wooaah !! sometimes, it comes out of left field .. when we least expect it ..

anyhow, i seem to go off on tangents, but i wanted to post the clip to benny mardones' 'into the night' .. just a timeless reminder that we aren't always prepared for love and don't always know when, where or how cupid's arrow will strike us - quite often with sudden precision ..

anyway, there wasn't an original clip made for it - but here's one that someone else did make for it ..

it is the fool that runs in the other direction who misses the magic and mayhem .. i think we've all been there - petrified of the fall, fearing the intensity, the loss of control, scared of plummeting down into those depths ..

when love beckons, let him in ... throw caution and get on that rollercoaster ride - next time, i know i will ..
