Arizona's Calling - Brent Bowden

I am a native Arizonan - 5th generation - as my great, great grandparents helped settle Mesa in 1883. I love this state and its beauty. I hear songs about other states all the time, and I thought it was high time a new song was written about AZ! The video to this song is just stunning. Cameron Trejo is responsible for it and he did an incredible job. Stephen Moyer produced this song and as you will hear, did a great job. I hope you enjoy this little road trip all over Arizona. If you're not careful, you may find yourself loading up a moving van and joining us!

This song needs to be the state anthem.

[@sezylstra]

I'm a transplant. Been here 20 years. Lived all over the world but nothing beasts the Great State of Arizona. Anybody asks where I am from and I claim Arizona, not where I was born or raised, but the state that I truly feel connected. I tell them the Great State of Arizona. Of all the states I have lived in nothing has claimed my heart and soul as much as Arizona. You captured the heart of our great state. God bless Arizona.

[@Brennan_Games]

How has this not blown up!!!! I grew up in Gilbert Az 🌵

[@LindaBachmeier]

I Love this song!! I came to Arizona in 1967. Wouldn't live anywhere else. Thank you for capturing the Beauty of Arizona.

[@jordanhicks5131]

Proud Arizona native, still live here, cant imagine anywhere else

[@fisher_ryan]

Went to a Mountain Man Rendezvous for my church and he sang this song for all the boys gathered there. It was such a great experience.

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

Born and raised. Went all around the world in the US Navy and came right back here. There is no better place on earth. No serious Natural disasters, a little dry heat in the summer. A Ocean 4 hours away, Snow 4hours away (from where I'm at) can't beat Arizona for living.

[@outdatedfarmequipment2702]

When I visited Arizona from Australia I found they have the best hot weather.

[@DJR5280]

I live in Denver and I back to AZ at least 4 times a year. I love it there

[@waiatm]

I have Arizona tattooed on my arm. I'm in Texas for my wife's family stuff for a while but I'll make it home

[@richwilson7215]

Brent what a wonderful depiction of our wonderful state. You have great talent and thanks for sharing.

[@Esniqui-uz7pk]

I got to Arizona from Honduras Central America on 1995 for the first time and let me tell you... it was love at first sight.. I was 15 years old and now that I'm older my heart is split into 2 pieces.. 1 for my own country and 1 for my beautiful Arizona. I love everything about this dry land and the amazing people that I'm been sharing this state too.

[@ajlaajdin]

I am from europe, moved to AZ when i was 5 years old and lived there for 20 years, been living in europe the last 5 years and im moving back to AZ in a month. AZ is my home, miss it so much, been listening to this song on repeat. Became a huge fan of Bowden as well now

[@SuperMusicDork]

This video looks like my life in Arizona. The amazing sunsets, the storms, the mountains, wake surfing on Canyon Lake, golf, horses, Gilbert, ASU, skiing. The video is as good as the song.

[@echokonkle533]

This video put a lump in my throat...born and raised in Arizona - I deeply miss my home state.

[@pamelawooten3251]

Beautiful song. I am Arizona born and raised 4th generation. First half of my life in the Sonoran desert near Tucson and my second half here in the pines of the White Mountains. Proud to be an Arizonan!!

[@DRiceArizona]

Just discovered this. It has a Kevin Fowler "Texas Forever" vibe to it. I have a dual love for Texas and Arizona, but am probably heading back to AZ (for the 5th time) next February which tells my love for Arizona. I have tried to take myself out of Arizona a few times, but obviously can not take Arizona out of me so it is time for me to give up fighting and admit I am an Arizonan to my bones. Great song!

[@empathicdesign8375]

Beautiful song. I've been all over Arizona like the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Sonoron Desert. I have never seen so much beauty in one state especially the sunsets. Arizona is arguably the most beautiful place on Earth. I love you Arizona 😍

[@JOSEPH-oc8qx]

I LIKE THIS SONG!

[@TankBulldog75]

That was so Beautiful I heard the song on the radio when I went to visit AZ for a week haven’t been back in almost ten years i tear up every time I here it

I was born and raised in Wisconsin. However, in 2022 I'm retiring and we're moving to Sierra Vista, AZ. I love the wide open spaces and the mountains are calling me. Beautiful song!!! You're very talented.

[@marjorieparsley8242]

I grew up and lived in Arizona my whole life . But in 2005 my husband and myself and my children moved in North Dakota I never ever return to Arizona because it was so hot it made me very very ill. And I'm sad to say that my dad passed away just recently and when I got to Arizona and before I got into the house I was freaking out and crying and then this song came on and I am a country music fanatic and I never heard the song before in my life. Now I believe this song is to me for my dad he sent to me from having to give me the courage and the strength to go on. I love you and I miss you so much Daddy rest in peace

[@rosalynnweaver3295]

Just moved here 3 weeks ago from Illinois. I heard this song on the radio today and had to find it on youtube as soon as I got home.

[@rosettatasimana9509]

This was an exceptional song, I just moved to where I was born (California) but I miss Arizona as half my life was living there. This song made me homesick yet encourages me to work hard now to make my way back to Arizona where I call home. Thank you for making this song, it's a beautiful song. Especially on Arizona's Birthday, such a beautiful song to match with a beautiful state.

[@stephparker2265]

Dang Brent...that’s some talent! Makes me love Arizona even more too! 😏 (previously Westover)

Hi Stephanie. Long time! Glad you liked it and I hope you are doing well.

[@dougkoelfgen5783]

Awesome song! Good job

[@arizonaparamotor]

Great song. Well produced, well written, and might just go down forever as the ultimate Arizona tribute song.

[@rockstarauthority7354]

Agreed! 🇺🇸

[@LDriggs]

I have to put this song up there with Rex Allen. He had a song many years ago about this beautiful state we live in. This one may be a slight step above though. The songs words & melody hit it right on the money. Being a 4th generation Arizonan I truly loved it. Great Job!!

[@HankEyring]

Very nice Brent. Best portrayal of our great state that I have seen.

[@brentbowdenmusic4250]

Thanks Hank! that is high praise!

[@vickimickle6407]

I also heard this on 94.1 (5/12/21 and loved it, so researched and found it here on KZbin! Love the video. We made Arizona our home in 2008 and just love it here for all the reasons you mentioned in the song. Thanks for the tribute to a wonderful state.

[@ediedinneen5260]

Brent, if you want to hear a companion piece to your song Arizona's Calling, go to youtube and type in Arizona Heaven (Don Zieman). This song was written by a dear friend of mine Carol George who passed away recently. My name is Edie Dinneen and I am the lady who sings Arizona Heaven. Enjoy

[@30Allaboutme]

Husband is a native, but met in Texas. In good old town of El Paso at Rosas Cantina he fell in love with a Mexican girl ❤ Our son was born in TX but named him Bear Arizona 😊 We moved to Gold Canyon in 2021 and this songs sums up exactly how I feel about calling this place home now. Thank you Mike Broomhead for featuring this song on your program. That’s how I first heard it. Now it’s our son’s favorite. Constantly asks to listen to it. Even knows the words by memory and he’s only 4.

[@DetlefMartin]

Hello Brent, When I retired from the German Air Force I moved to Surprise, AZ in 2014. Never regret it. Thank you for a great song and a beautiful video.

[@joerobinson7733]

Awesome song, should be our state song.

[@kasey5kahne88jr]

Wow Thanks Brent I am missing me some Arizona home are now. Also born and raised 51 yrs. but just moved across country to my wife's hometown in Virginia. Been together 27 years she's spent the last 25 years with me in Az. Now its my turn. Great song, Ill be listening to this quite a bit now. But miss the food too!!!! Thanks

Thanks Jill

[@chantzabrams1527]

Excellent is all I got for this song. Part of my family is from Flagstaff I go back usually at least once a year I always sort of dread coming home to Texas… its not thats its bad at all. Its just never felt like home. A few months ago I had really tough time going home. It sort of gut punched me I wasn’t going home… I was leaving it. Then from out of no where comes this song. Coincidence? Maybe, but I think it was confirmation to clean up my business in Texas and go where my heart is. When I go back, its a one way trip and thats all in the works now.

[@rgarizonahomestead2729]

the song fits the state, and you have to see it to believe it. thanks for sharing
