"As the title suggests, the song was started in Arizona, on a road trip through the desert on the way to Mexico, passing cities like Sedona and Tucson on the way to Puerto Peñasco, on the Gulf of California. Back in Europe, the song changed somewhat, but the working title Arizona, remained . The idea to start the song a cappella was a last minute idea while we were mixing the track. We had just watched Bon Iver´s amazing live version of “Heavenly Father” , so that might have inspired the idea to start with only vocals. While performing in front of a green screen in a cellar outside Hanover, it was quite hard to envision what our video director had in mind, but we trusted her. And seeing the final result, we did the right thing. It was really cool to see the video grow , little by little, and we're super excited to share it with you." --- TNT
