Song "Hotel California" by the Eagles
Music Album: Hotel California by The Eagles
Date: 1976
Hotel California was the Eagles fifth album released in 1976 and probably their most recognized. It had three number one hits on it. The first three songs on this album reached number one. The first is probably what most people think when they think about the Eagles is Hotel California one of my favorites. It has an excellent guitar solo at the end with good vocals making it an excellent song. The next song, New Kid In Town, is another excellent song and features the only lead vocal from Glenn Frey on the album. The last number one on this album is Life In The Fast Lane is another rocking song with another guitar solo. Next is Wasted Time, one of my favorites on here. It has excellent piano music as well as great vocals from Henley. I song always sounds good, even the live versions. Then comes a reprise of Wasted Time on strings. Victim Of Love is the sixth song on this album and has excellent guitar music like the two others on this album. Pretty Maids All In A Row is a good song and Walsh's first song as an Eagle. Try And Love Again is a Meisner song. It is okay but it is the weakest song on the album. The last song is The Last Resort, a very good, long song about the old west. This is the best Eagles album. It is a must.
Song Hotel California
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-Benz
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 haven't 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 place
Such 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 master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't 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,
