有關一首老歌HOTEL CALIFFORNIA
 

今天
到KURO下載音樂
因為不知要下載什麼所以打了個HOTEL(=.=)
發現幾乎都是這首HOTEL CALIFFORNIA
還很多人翻唱
最後找了個老鷹合唱團的(ㄊ是原唱嗎)
還有人在上說這是吉他必學曲(有那麼嚴重嗎)
各位大大有人知這首歌的來歷嗎

Yes!

的確有這麼嚴重
對玩樂團的人而言，要練好這首歌(請注意，是練好，而不僅只是彈出來)不論是鼓手、主奏吉他、節奏吉他、貝斯甚至主唱都一定要到一定程度水準，所以這首歌再我們小時後那郭年代常常被人家點來試樂團的功力
尤其是最後一句but you can never leave以後就全看吉他手在show,尤其最後的三連音，比起其他彈三連音的歌或許tempo上沒那樣快，但是非常引人入勝

Eagles當然是原唱，這首歌好多年了(1976),1994年eagles重組作不可能的事(Hell Freezes Over)專輯時又以unplugged的方式重唱了一次(DVD街上有在賣啦)，有人說這首歌是搖滾國歌，不過KISS也自稱他們的Rock N' Roll All Night是搖滾國歌，見仁見智

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!

第128名是THE EAGLES - HOTEL CALIFORNIA

這首歌真的是經典！！
為了在聽他時有更好的效果
我還花了幾萬塊買喇叭呢

MAX99大大
可以請你PO出前10名是哪些歌曲
多謝

真的是經典!!!!!!!!!!!

此歌歌詞可否有特殊寓意？因為從字面上看來只是一個旅人到了加州旅館，描述旅館裡的情形，以及最後一句很詭異的「你隨時都可以登記退房，但是你永遠不得離開」(You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!)
這整首歌一定有特殊的意涵吧？
希望知道的大哥可以分享一下
