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!

o.
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.
Love it….
my favorite …
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 …
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 …
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 read that this was his personal favorite. Great song. Haunting..
I hear a true story…(well somewhere)

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.
thanks for the …
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!
Yes! And while the …
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 .
I agree Dan was the …
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 your …
Thanks for your time.
Dan Fogelberg has …
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.
Everyone disagrees …
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.
I am going to …
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?
So true!…….He …
So true!…….He had a gift of being able to touch peoples’ hearts and reach across time and space.
