《Hotel California》可說是老鷹合唱團的登峰造極之作。出品於1976年,美國的200周年國慶,同名單曲《Hotel California》(1977)是一首涵義深遠的歌曲,它訴說了對於當時人們沉迷於物質生活的彷徨與無助;歌曲中也包含了許多迷幻藥物的隱喻。有不少歌迷認為Hotel California確有其地,但它的作者Don Henley、Glenn Frey和Don Felder從未證實。 除了它雋永的歌詞,《Hotel California》的吉他獨奏更是經典;這也是《Hotel California》在各個樂評的最佳歌曲排行榜上永遠名列前茅的原因。 《Hotel California》 這是他們在1994年的《Hell Freezes Over》巡迴演唱表演。 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 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 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 Benz 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. You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave!' |
