On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the hotel california Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,please bring me my wine He said, we havent had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california Such a lovely placeSuch a lovely face They livin it up at the hotel california What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device And in the masters chambers, They gathered for the feast The stab it with their steely knives, But they just cant kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before relax, said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, But you can never leave!
AHHHH!!!! love this song(: hehehe.. i guess this song is their most popular, alot of people, even at our age know this song... its sooo soothing la this song.. by the way, this song won a grammy's award in 1977 and the album, hotel california is one of the top 15 best-selling album of all time in any category, thus making them one of the top 5 best selling bands in the united states. This song was a controversy last time, as the lyrics, some people claimed it to be satanic... but seriously, the lyrics is damn nice!!!! read the lyrics and u will know why!(: most of their songs have great lyrics(:
When u listen to an Eagles song... always look out.. or rather.. hear out.. their FANTASTIC, MAGNIFICENT, SUPERB guitar solos, duets and ofcourse, their lyrics(: The guitar always takes my breath away(: sooooo nice(: The music is just damn nice on its own(:
Anyway, Hotel California touched on many themes, including innocence (and the loss thereof), addiction to drugs, death, the dangers, temptations, and transient nature of fame, shallow relationships, divorce and loss of love, the end results of manifest destiny.
