I live in Colombia in a place with beautiful sunsets like those in the pictures. When I listen to this song, sometimes I feel like I'm in Arizona, seeing those portraits. I also understand Bobby because I identify myself with him, even though my father has always been with me, but there are moments of frustration and lonelyness in which one feels like doing something desperate or crazy like what Bobby did. (It is 6:27 p.m.) Beutiful summer sunset today.
This song rivals anything ever done by Harry Chapin as far as a storyteller's song goes. As other have said, just gave me goosebumps the first time I ever heard it and every time since then.
This whole album is great. This song still gives me goose bumps. When I would play this song for my girlfriends and my now wife they said it was too sad for them. To me its the real word as we live in it today. Meaning 2011
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
neverdullboy: Agreed. First time I heard it, I couldn't believe what I heard. Still gives me goosebumps. "His soul is like some ugly, vacant lot". Man.
When the congress woman, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords from AZ, got shot that fatal day, I had to play this song to let out my anger and sasdness! This was a great, great song that the crummy critics dismissed, probably because of the length of the song--it deserved to be a major hit! BobbyK
Still to this day: Dan is my favorite singer, songwriter, musican and storyteller! I fell in love with Nether Lands 35 years ago when I was 13 and every song he has performed holds a special place in my heart! He was such a great storyteller that to this day, his songs can still bring tears to my eyes even though I've heard them hundreds of times! Dan you will be missed, but I will never stop listening to the great gifts you have given all of us with your music!!
Brilliant and powerful song from the greatest singer songwriter,one that left us way too soon.What an amazing album Windows & Walls was!!!Thanks for sharing this video!!
my first time to hear this one.. Dan was a great singer songwriter.. what a beautiful song here. Wow listen to the guitar.. whew!! I am from Texas, but love Arizona. thanks for sharing my friend....
I agree with Mr. Sammie about this song. It is a tragic opera with a great story. Another of Fogelberg's epic works is "Ghosts.' More philosophy than story, but an absolute classic.

By far...this is Dan's best. It is an opera...and movie...a great novel....all rolled into one, and told through his wonderful voice, and conviction in and dedication to, details.
Awesome song from a master song-stylist.I would play this over and over...
Three years ago today,the world lost a cherished voice...But Dan left behind a "Living Legacy" that will continue throughout the days of my own life, to the end of days.
I agree with Edje 1953 whole-heartedly,"We'll always miss you, but you can rest assured: none of us will ever forget you.........."
This along with Believe In Me are my all time favorite Dan Fogelberg songs! This song is so intense and sad, it makes me cry. Reminds me of my life in melancholy before I married.
@patrekios While your listening to Dan... check out my new book GETTYSBURG... OTHER TIMES See my profile or search Amazon, ebay, Barns&Noble... You'll find a wisp of Tony in it...
I can't believe it! The song!I've been a fan of Dan for 35 years and I've never heard that song-AND I'm from Tucson! Once in 1979 I went for 4 days vacation in Telluride,Colorado and he stayed next door to us. I didn't get to meet him, my Dad's friend did and he was playing 'Netherlands' in his home to impress him, but a year later I did.He was at a Who concert in Phoenix and I went up to him.He was drunk and surly and didn't want to talk but at least I met him,Too bad I never saw him play live.
I heard this song for the first time 25 years ago, as a young private stationed at Ft Riley Kansas, and LOVED the song! The song is still one of my fav's to this day!!!
@CATHOWARD1 I too heard it as a young MP at Ft Carson ! got to see him play at Mcnichols arena in Denver that year. was lucky to see him on his last tour up in the northwest !

esta canción la escuché por primera vez hace muuuuchos años, aún la conservo en esa multitud de cassettes, cuando estudiaba en la Universidad y me iba en micro a casa daba la coincidencia que en una radio llamada Tiempo siempre la tocaban, recordar esos paisajes de invierno con esta música de fondo hacen retroceder mi vida a una época inolvidable...emociona mucho...
It's crazy, I've always loved Dan's work, but this is the first time I've ever heard this song. It's awesome...kind of ironic how so many of us only know the night as our friends.
Me gusto desde que la escuche por primera vez hace unos 30 años casi, una de las favoritas de mi padre (Q.E P.D)... recordar esta cancion y escucharla, es volver a tener la presencia de mi padre conmigo... Gracias por traerla a este espacio. Thanks for upload this beautyful song, surely mi dad is listening now from heaven...
I don't know how many times I've listened to this song..it means so much to me.. I've lost count!! I never tire of it.. ! beautiful thanks for posting.. :-)
Aún a la distancia y en el dolor, echo de menos a mi artista favorito, que gran tema, que gran interpretación, ya ves dan, ya no existen artistas de tu altura.
What a incredible peice of writing. One of his absolute best, the 1st time I heard it, I just went ~~~wow. I would post the lyrics, but they're too long.
One of my favorite story songs from Dan . I had the pleasure of seeing Dan perform Live many many times in concert . Both with full band AND solo acoustic tours . Dan was a musical genius . One that i miss very badly . And whose musical style we all need more than ever right now .
Dan was a great story teller,song writer,musican and composer of music. His father who is in heaven, is and always will be very proud of him. God Blessed Dan with these gifts and he will be missed. As for me, his Music will always be in my heart and soul.
Sitting here, a 37 year old guy, who imagines he's pretty tough..... Except for the tears running down my face. This song kills me, yet I love it, and have for 20 years, since I first heard it. This man had talent. Nuff said.
I wish that i could have been born earlier so that i could have gone to one of his concerts and understood his amazing talent and his love for music. i love Dan soooo much he's amazing!!!!!
Thinking and missing Dan on this day. Looked at my framed copy of his birthday announcement this a.m. and could only smile and give thanks for the legacy of music he left us.
I don' t know a living musician who did anything that could compete with this song ....so perfectly arranged, strong, compelling, heartbreaking...you name it.....
Love Daniels ballads and miss a talented man. Lost to many close family and friends to cancer.Then I heard the news that Dan lost the fight as well. Just memories left.
Moi jai etudier l ' histoire qui a fait cette chanson en anglais Euro , et jai adoré l'air avec ma Ma oPH2LIE. lES PAROLES OSNT PROFONDES? IL RESSENT CE QUIL DIS. cEST EXTRAORDINAIRE.
I would agree that Dan Fogelberg is one of the best. I graduated HS from the School that Dan's father was the band director. When Dan came to Peoria IL (his home town) to do a concert, it was the best I have ever seen! It was sad to hear he had passed.
One of the best singer songwriters of all time. I saw him live in Atlanta - at Chastain and the old Omni - GREAT! Just thankful for all the wonderful music that he left behind.
Might not be very popular commment, however, to those with the blessing of childeren:
"The neighbors speculated, what could have made a good boy go so bad? Well it might have been the desert heat, it might have been the home he never had."
Is it ok to spray your child in the face with a can of RAID?
We are being poisoned daily in the sky's over Tucson! This is real! Look for yourselves....planes are dumping a mix of toxic chemicals and metal particles over your heads daily! See video's proving this! Then do something...call someone! News stations, newspapers, poison control,and the Air Force!
Does anyone know if the people Dan talks about in this song were real, and was this song based upon something Dan read in a newspaper or did he create this song and the events using his imagination? Thanks if you know.
an interview with Fred Migliore of FM Odyssey Radio . You can buy the CD off his Living Legacy web site. It's great , well worth having for any Dan Fan. The song is pure fiction by the way , just Dan's statement about violence in our country.
Thank you for uploading this song for us to listen to I wore out my casette taap, I played this song so much. Those of you who play guitar should get the chords and music to it, it is alot of fun to play.
Genious. The spirit and soul of this man can never end as his music lives on and "ever on". Still crying Dan, still remembering the first time I heard "To The Morning" back when I was 14 years old...
This song always brings goosebumps down my spine, especially when the violins set in.........
Thank you ever so much, Dan, for making a HUGE difference in this carousel we call the music industry. We'll always miss you, but you can rest assured: none of us will ever forget you..........
its not showing the video or playing the music...i dont know whats up with it but i LOVE this song...my grandpa played it for me a few years ago and then i dont know what happened but i just remembered this song because he was playing my guitar and i couldnt remember the name of the song so i hummed a few lines told him to play it and he was like is it tucsan arizona? and i said yeah thats the song...i almost cry when i hear this song because its so sad
Thanks for posting this video! The first time I heard this awesome song was, when I was a kid.Dan`s best song. An outstanding writer, singer and story-teller. Makes me shiver like a scary movie.. Your vid. is so good,because you perfectly choose the right pictures and colors enhancing the content of the story (unlike so many others who ruin their vid.s by adding a bunch of inappropriate pictures and stuff).GREAT JOB ! BE PROUD! And--greetings from Germany!
In Portugal there are a few fans of this music too. Was presented to me about 20 years ago by a friend and it still plays in my car after this years, in a tape.
my favorite fogelberg song - i also read in an album that this was his favorite song - that critics called it too long - but dan still felt it was his best work
Hermosa esta cancion, auque claro que cualquiera que la escucha pensaria que es algo realcionado con el amor de personas, pero más bien habla sobre tucson arizona.
I do wich that the women of this state will heed the warnings of this song. Any girl from Arizona NEEDS TO REALIZE that there are guys here that happen to be educated. DO NOT WRITE US OFF ANY LONGER. YOU DO NOT WANT TO WIND UP WITH A TONY! Instead, you need to end up with a Midwest import named Rob, who LOVES THIS STATE, BUT WISHES TO FIND A DECENT GIRL WHO KNOWS A GOOD-LOOKING AND SUCCESSFUL GUY WHEN SHE SEES ONE!
Dan Fogelberg has written many terrific tunes, but this one certainly tops it,and the images in this video, especially the lightening are terrific peice that goes with the song! The song is heart wrenching yet it represents a reality that almost no one is willing to own up to in his or her family with such dysfunction. While I dont take drugs, I did grow up in a house that was never really a home,and I can relate to the feeling of completely estrangement and isolation.
This was Dan's last good Album. "Nether Lands" was Perfect. Nothing was going to come close to Home Free, Souvenirs, Captured Angel and Nether Land. The Windows and Walls was very good. Anyway, Dan was the best!!!!!!!!!
I am going to disagree with Windows and Walls being the last of the good work he did. I feel many had a problem with also the voice change, when he had his tonsils removed,which lowered the pitch. Window and Walls was the first album out since he had them removed. I find it interesting to hear many changes in his voice thorough out the album.High Country Snows,Exiles&The Wild Places were well produced albums.I agree his early works are just awesome. How can you not mention The Innocent Age?
Yes! And while the earliest works are tied up with my youthful reminiscences (giving them a certain emotional resonance that only magnifies with time), the musical stuff he pulls off on his more mature releases (vocals included) kicks ass.
I agree Dan was the best. I disagree that the voice change was negative. Sure, I missed the falsetto, but the tonsil situation gave all kinds of new colors to his voice. We got to hear him as angelic voiced boy and as a real manly man too. I consider that a gift, and his post Innocent Age releases too. Sopranos and tenors shouldn't have all the acclaim, y'know.
thanks for the positive on Dan's music. the hostilehotelwalls was being a jerk. It was purely a disagree to agree. I love the fact that he did it his way, not the way the music industry wanted. I love all the voices of Dan.Men in particular, their voices do change with maturity. I love the fact that his music also matured with him and it never sounded the same or sounded as a copy of someone else, as we have in today's music. That to me, is what made him unique and special. Gotta love him!
What a fucking awesome, incredible, fantastic song!!!!! such a good story, spanic guitar scales, just great...somehow it reminded my of Hazzard by Richard Marx or the wild rose from nick cave...awesome, just that, thank for the vid. it was really well done and the lightnings at the end were just te right image for the moment, good job!!!
This song reminds me of my first love whom had moved to Tucson. I was so smitten with her and didn't know how to tell her. I never did find out. Dan always reaches me where I fountain love from in my heart.
Though I have nothing in common with the main character in this story, I will always feel close to this song.
Can't believe the critics ripped this album apart. Ok, so it's not The Innocent Age. He was still riding the tails of TIA in his song writing.I found it interesting how his voice sounds so different on many songs. Having his voice lowered by having his tonsils out at the age of 30. This song had to be recorded before his surgery? It still sounds as it did on TIA. I love listening to the changes of his voice through out the album. Love the music and the voice behind it.
You are so welcome! The other song on this album, Sweet Magnolia and The Traveling Salesman is actually a song about his life with his first wife Maggie. Knowing that,it really gave life to the song. Peace
Critics are typically frustrated artists without the talent to move on, and bitter that someone else could. They tend to write to impress one another rather than provide helpful insight to others. Those of us that didn't get caught up in peer pressure and actually appreciate music for its pure, intrinsic qualities are in awe of how much talent this one man had. Perhaps in death others may one day know, but at one of his shows, you could tell you were in the presence of something amazing.
Everyone disagrees with me. He had tonsillitis but after the surgery, he couldn't sing falsetto. It changed the way he wrote and sang. He is still my favorite artist but everything after 1980 was a B album or less. Let's be honest. On a lot of those Albums he had one to two good songs. That is a far cry from all of the songs being great. Windows/Walls was the exception. He was underrated as a musician and the best song writer ever. Remember "Fan" is short for "Fanatic". Be honest about Dan.
Gone now but definately not to be forgotten. This song/story knocked me out twenty-some years ago and still gives me chills. What a slice of true life he brings to life.
This is one HELL of a song. Reflects the true emotions that can exist in the heat, and captures the Hispanic influence of the Grand Canyon State very well. Not to mention the utter beauty of this state. GO ARIZONA!
What album is this from?? I liked the clips of Tuscon to this song. I currently have a friend who is in the hospital not doing very well, and the clips remind me of the trip to Tuscon, Ariz we took in 1991. A good friend!
Ojmccaf1963- great song huh! Excellent album too--a little different than his other works. Dan is amazing! I hope your friend is doing better((prayers))
what an amazing song! i'been searching for it since i was ten years old, and now when i'm 25 found it thanks to my father. Thanks for the upload dude!

I would agree that Dan Fogelberg is one of the best. I graduated HS from the School that Dan's father was the band director. When Dan came to Peoria IL (his home town) to do a concert, it was the best I have ever seen! It was sad to hear he had passed.

Dan talks about this song (his favorite) in
an interview with Fred Migliore of FM Odyssey Radio . You can buy the CD off his Living Legacy web site. It's great , well worth having for any Dan Fan. The song is pure fiction by the way , just Dan's statement about violence in our country.

I do wich that the women of this state will heed the warnings of this song. Any girl from Arizona NEEDS TO REALIZE that there are guys here that happen to be educated. DO NOT WRITE US OFF ANY LONGER. YOU DO NOT WANT TO WIND UP WITH A TONY! Instead, you need to end up with a Midwest import named Rob, who LOVES THIS STATE, BUT WISHES TO FIND A DECENT GIRL WHO KNOWS A GOOD-LOOKING AND SUCCESSFUL GUY WHEN SHE SEES ONE!

I am writing from France.
Dan Fogelberg is almost unknown here.
You can only afford one or two, perhaps three of his latest albums.
Nobody knows he died recently.
The last time I heard this superb song, it was in 1977 or 1978, quite a long time ago, but I've always had the tune in mind.
I am moved.
Adieu Dan.
thierry1024 3 years ago
Dan Fogelberg has written many terrific tunes, but this one certainly tops it,and the images in this video, especially the lightening are terrific peice that goes with the song! The song is heart wrenching yet it represents a reality that almost no one is willing to own up to in his or her family with such dysfunction. While I dont take drugs, I did grow up in a house that was never really a home,and I can relate to the feeling of completely estrangement and isolation.

This was Dan's last good Album. "Nether Lands" was Perfect. Nothing was going to come close to Home Free, Souvenirs, Captured Angel and Nether Land. The Windows and Walls was very good. Anyway, Dan was the best!!!!!!!!!
hostilehotelwalls 3 years ago
I am going to disagree with Windows and Walls being the last of the good work he did. I feel many had a problem with also the voice change, when he had his tonsils removed,which lowered the pitch. Window and Walls was the first album out since he had them removed. I find it interesting to hear many changes in his voice thorough out the album.High Country Snows,Exiles&The Wild Places were well produced albums.I agree his early works are just awesome. How can you not mention The Innocent Age?
asquare176 3 years ago
Yes! And while the earliest works are tied up with my youthful reminiscences (giving them a certain emotional resonance that only magnifies with time), the musical stuff he pulls off on his more mature releases (vocals included) kicks ass.
nvpublictv 3 years ago 4
I agree Dan was the best. I disagree that the voice change was negative. Sure, I missed the falsetto, but the tonsil situation gave all kinds of new colors to his voice. We got to hear him as angelic voiced boy and as a real manly man too. I consider that a gift, and his post Innocent Age releases too. Sopranos and tenors shouldn't have all the acclaim, y'know.
nvpublictv 3 years ago 3
thanks for the positive on Dan's music. the hostilehotelwalls was being a jerk. It was purely a disagree to agree. I love the fact that he did it his way, not the way the music industry wanted. I love all the voices of Dan.Men in particular, their voices do change with maturity. I love the fact that his music also matured with him and it never sounded the same or sounded as a copy of someone else, as we have in today's music. That to me, is what made him unique and special. Gotta love him!
asquare176 3 years ago 4
I discovered this song and this singer by a work colleague who bought the LP in USA in 1984.
This song is awesome and it's the best Dan Fogelberg one. I like the lyrics too. What a terrific story!

ldolphin34 3 years ago
Can't believe the critics ripped this album apart. Ok, so it's not The Innocent Age. He was still riding the tails of TIA in his song writing.I found it interesting how his voice sounds so different on many songs. Having his voice lowered by having his tonsils out at the age of 30. This song had to be recorded before his surgery? It still sounds as it did on TIA. I love listening to the changes of his voice through out the album. Love the music and the voice behind it.

Jokarilon 3 years ago
Critics are typically frustrated artists without the talent to move on, and bitter that someone else could. They tend to write to impress one another rather than provide helpful insight to others. Those of us that didn't get caught up in peer pressure and actually appreciate music for its pure, intrinsic qualities are in awe of how much talent this one man had. Perhaps in death others may one day know, but at one of his shows, you could tell you were in the presence of something amazing.
TheLastNail 3 years ago 5
Everyone disagrees with me. He had tonsillitis but after the surgery, he couldn't sing falsetto. It changed the way he wrote and sang. He is still my favorite artist but everything after 1980 was a B album or less. Let's be honest. On a lot of those Albums he had one to two good songs. That is a far cry from all of the songs being great. Windows/Walls was the exception. He was underrated as a musician and the best song writer ever. Remember "Fan" is short for "Fanatic". Be honest about Dan.
