Into the night

Sonó un día en la radio. Los rasgueos de guitarra de Santana delatan su mano en el tema. No canta él pero está claro que detrás de esta pequeña joya de canción está este monstruo del mástil.

Siguiendo un poco con la tradición de los últimos años, de hacer álbumes en colaboración con otros artistas, Santana, junto con el cantante de Nickelback, Chad Kroeger, presenta esta canción para su álbum recopilatorio Ultimate Santana (2007)

Pude ver a Santana en directo en el 2000, en la gira de su Supernatural. Y aunque nunca he sido un gran fan, recuerdo aquel concierto como todo un espectáculo. Pocos guitarristas son capaces de transmitir tanto con su guitarra, y proporcionar un sonido tan...tan....único. Claramente, cuando oyes un riff de Santana, sabes que es él.

El protagonista del video está a punto de arrojar la toalla, absorto por la bebida hasta que la ve. Busca, encuentra su motivo para seguir adelante. Ella. Alguien.

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell, It was love from above, that could save me from hell

Hoy sonó algo de Santana por la televisión e immediatamente, no sé porqué, pensé en esta canción, que realmente aunque había escuchado, no sabía como se llamaba. Quizás fue una señal...

And the voices rang like the angels sang

No sé si algo me está llamando. Me temo que no son los ángeles, pero bueno, qué carajo, salgamos, la noche, bailemos...

And we danced on into the night

Quizás estés ahí esta noche.

Videoclip de la canción

En directo, en el Saturday Night Live

Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angles sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night [2x]

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces
We was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
No room left to move in between you and I
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angels sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night [2x]

Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angels sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a [3x]
And we danced on into the night
