Creative background

The 1960s was a period of free creation in the American music industry. The popularity of rock music became a symbol of freedom and rebellious ideas in the 1960s. However, its prosperity also gradually caused the musicians to become increasingly independent. A corrupt attitude towards life. Drug abuse and promiscuity became the same path of depravity that almost every American rock musician took in the 1970s. Money and pleasure became the new image of rock music in the 1970s.

The Eagles, who are also musicians, saw this fact and were helpless. Musicians have regarded this addictive life as the norm in the music industry. Rock musicians are always surrounded by beautiful girls and a corrupt life. So, the band created the song "Hotel California."

Song lyrics

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

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 place

Such a lovely face

They living it up at the Hotel California

What nice surprise

What nice surprise

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

Pink champagne on ice

She said

We are all just prisoners here

Of our own device

　In the master's chambers

　They gathered for the feast

　They stabbed 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 pasage Back

To the place I was before

Relax said the night man

We are program to receive

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave

Song Appreciation

Overall Appreciation

As one of the most successful works of the Eagles, "Hotel California" has become a symbol of the United States. Sex songs. The classic guitar melody, weird and incomprehensible lyrics, and touching tragic feelings made this song conquer a large number of listeners. The performance technique of this song is also classical, folk, and rock arrangement. It will undoubtedly make many listeners who have misunderstandings about rock music realize the huge tolerance of rock music and the breadth of the use of music technology by truly outstanding rock musicians.

"Hotel California" is a symbol of spiritual freedom to a certain extent. It presents the ideals and freedom of the spiritual world pursued by a hippie walking on the highway leading to the 1970s. . In an era before digitalization, sound, light and electricity, this simple but touching song is almost the representative of American country music.

The weirdness of the lyrics may also be inspired by the mental hospital. The hints related to it in the lyrics include: the auditory hallucination imagination of "constantly hearing distant voices"; "heaven and hell" refers to the mental illness among mental patients. There are evil human natures like demons and pure and insensate ones like angels; patients dance like possessed in the backyard; distorted thoughts are the direct language of mental illness; prisoners of one's own thoughts are also code words; trying to kill the devil always fails Psychotic hallucinations. Of course, mental illness is the same as drugs. You may feel that you are normal for the time being, but there is no guarantee that you will be normal in the future and you will never be able to leave the shadow.
