Lyrically, I wonder what prompted him to write it. It's a great story but very sad. This song is so beautiful musically. I reluctantly feel drawn to it. A masterpiece.
@kjsebestyen Dan’s lyrics and melodies have inspired me to come forward to create tribute videos to him after his passing, and I am glad I have done it and accomplished many. May his timeless music and boundless love continue to heal us through the toughest times, bring joy and happiness to you and stays in our hearts for ever on... God bless you always!
This song is heavy on my heart i live in tucson AZ and i lost a lot but when my brother passed while driving his motorcycle it now plays with my emotions
I totally agree. This song is one of Dan's hidden masterpiece's. That critics would dismiss a song like this... is another reason why I dismiss them. Let's be honest. They are by in large a bunch of idiots.
Awesome job on the video. I think it captures what Dan was saying in his song. I always thought he was at his best when writing songs with sad or introspective imagery. This song and Same Old Lang Syne are two of my favorites.
Bill...all I can say is SPECTACULAR! It's just as I pictured it in my mind when I heard the song...the visuals are wonderfil...the colors are just indescribable....I think it's your best yet! I LOVE it! Perfect.....Wonderful job! You really captured this one!
Windows and Walls would be an album about the frailty of life and relationships. I considered this to be the pre divorce album of Dan and Maggie. Dan said this was the best journalistic lyric written song he ever did... a movie for the years! I was always hoping he would do a score for a movie... he was truly talented .
Your video is so enchanting, I love it so much, you did an awesome job Bill, love the trip to Tuscon, thank you!! Amazing images and what a beautiful song with great lyrics. In my fav and playlists.
Window and Walls... the frailty of life and relationships... I refer this as a pre- divorce album with his 1st wife Maggie.
I have to agree with what Dan commented on Portrait on this song... a movie for the ears.... he felt it was his best journalistic lyric writing. There are thousands and thousands of stories like this... but not as cinematic as Dan's. Your visuals chosen were wonderful... especially the car. Loved it!
...to join him on this so-called date was the mention of cocaine. I've pondered this one many times, but, put with your video, I now can picture perfectly All! that Dan was trying to convey. What an excellent job you did with this! It's as though you sat down with Dan and the two of you created it together. Absolutely amazing! A million stars for this one! I'm in total awe; must watch it again, & again, & again.
Bill ~ Wow! ~~ I always felt when listening to this that Dan had a very powerful message in this song. It might have been so many things that he sings of here that he was trying to get across to us. I must say that the video you put with this could not be more perfect. Every word he sings In Tucson, you put images to that before, while listening to this, of course, it was upsetting. So many things that could have turned "Tony" into the person Dan sings of. All it took for him to get "Mary"...
It remind me of an original song my friend Paula did year ago after uploading this video, she is a talented singer/songwriter too, she wrote "Madness - A plea to end the violence", in her lyrics she wrote"There are no answer to be found", compare to Dan's lyrics "what could make a good boy go so bad", I strongly recommend that you visit her channel "Pbrud" and listen to her song "Madness". Together, let's help find a way to end the violence and make the world a peaceful one!
@billp1955 Thank you, by far this is one of the chanllenged videos I did, in addition to "Don't Let That Sun Go Down" which I co-produced with River. That one has 3 storyline; this one has only one, but it involves so many imagery from family to war, romance, drugs and violence, good and bad, like his lyrics say "what could make a good boy go so bad". I really love the melody of it and Dan really is a great storyteller, he sing it out so profoundly, I hope to capture it truthfully for you!
@toooldtodie Thank you, this is my favorite song from his Windows and Walls album, Dan wrote a haunting story in this song, and he pick this one into his Portrait Disc 4, all of his tales and travels songs are there. A great storyline covered lonely desert, ugly soul, broken family, Viet Nam War, Hollywood dream, drugs problem...Dan is a visionary singer/songwriter, he really care about this world, this has been a great challenge for me to produce, I'm glad I finally finish it, hope you enjoy!
only way to get rid of all violence is to get rid of all humans

My favourite Fogelberg song. Eerie given the tragedy in Tucson. Great guitar work. A poignant song about lost souls.
