On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of
tails, rising up
-through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light My head
heavy and my sight Grew 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 show 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 place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (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 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 livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (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
They 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. Puede
check-out Any Time You Like, But You Can
never leave! "
No matter who you are and where you are, if you do not know this song have a problem with yourself: it's not something you can afford.
The group that emerged in California in the early 70's was already well known when he published the topic at hand, while his previous compilation, which included the hits from their first 4 works, is the third best selling album in history (Funny, huh?). But not until this "Hotel California" when they get their first Grammy (compared with today, where virtually gristle anyone with a catchy and a very good promotional give 7 or 8). About them has been much talk, and much has been written. Legend has it that they made a pact with the devil to achieve rapid success. In many of his songs have liked to see satanic messages, if we spin the vinyl in reverse.
As the lyrics of "Hotel California" has been dear to many readings, and it is possible that several overlap, but other interpretations are mutually exclusive. Particularly, I prefer that this letter is a complete treatise on drug addiction, and heroin in particular:
And I Was thinking to myself,
'This Could Be Heaven or this Could Be Hell 'Then she lit up
a candle and she show me the way
(And I was thinking / This could be Heaven or Hell / Then she lit a candle and showed me the way)
Puede check Out Any Time You Like, But You Can
never leave! "
(You can leave your room whenever you want / But you can never leave)
If you look you can easily find more. And if you can listen to live version, much longer than the subject of study, is simply spectacular.
On a personal level is a song we hear non-stop day and night tuned in a station that repeated and repeated a hundred items a month from December 1992 when three friends and I came up to go camping in the countryside to the town of Villanueva de la Concepción, at the foot of the Torcal. We spent two nights while trying not to hear and death by freezing. And those evening cocktails in the Sierra, based on beer, whiskey and anise ... Best of all is that 16 years later we still keep in touch.
Here I'm doing my first steps, I leave the live version. There is another, with Clapton, very good. Step
