1976年是Eagles乐队最为辉煌的一年，年底乐队推出的第五张专辑《加州旅店》刚一问世便赢得了一片叫好声，这张专辑被誉为七十年代美国最重要的专辑。在这张专辑里Eagles以一种极为颓废暧昧的方式反映了70年代美国那种世风日下，混沌与散漫的社会风气。在这首标题歌曲中，唐.弗尔德和乔.沃什运用娴熟的吉他技巧，搭配出双吉他的神奇效果，而唐.亨利的嗓音显得异常嘶哑。歌词本身也很玄妙，充斥着一种超现实的意境，更似一个人的梦... 

歌曲：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 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 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,
but you can never leave~

* 很经典的一首歌，听着吉打弦奏已深深吸引了我的注意力，隨着主唱带有点沙亚的歌声，以唱方式表達歌詞的內容，细细耹听着会不自觉的被引入他音乐世界里..

泡杯茶，坐在沙发..耹听這首很有味道的歌~空气即时飄起洋洋的气息..
這段是我常隨着音乐朗唱的一段：

“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”..
