看过综艺大哥大上谢霆锋自弹自唱这首《Hotel california》后,重温此歌......
网上关于Eagles的"Hotel California"的介绍几乎多到泛滥,自六七十年代摇滚乐的繁荣上升时期以来,数不清的人们被这首绝世佳作深深打动。有些乐队不但多产,而且精品甚多,Eagles也是这样,但是正因为这首"加州旅馆"太过出色,以至于人们只记得Eagles是唱"加州旅馆"的乐队。在九天音乐有整整一张cd。全是"加州旅馆"不同版本的演绎。但是总归最最动人、最最经典的,还是Eagles自己演绎的Unplugged版本,只有吉他、鼓声伴奏。步入中年的Eagles,光芒四射的舞台,唯一被人们记住的"Hotel California",歌词里如同宿命般断言:你永远也离不开"Hotel California"了,Eagles的终生成就,似乎只有这首"Hotel California",霜华染鬓,怕见人去,不如帘儿底下,静静听人欢笑,灯影车流中,穿越喧嚣繁华,"热闹是他们的,我什么也没有。"现场歌迷们的喝彩声浪里,是不被真正理解的Eagles的寂寞。
借用中国的一句古语"成也萧何、败也萧何",可能是“Hotel California”太成功了,Eagles再也没有创作出超过“Hotel California”的作品。或许是听众们太苛刻了,他们对这首歌曲近乎于崇拜的喜爱,已使他们忽略了Eagles其他的单曲。更有甚者,据说Eagles到日本举行演唱会,演唱会第一支曲子就安排的是Hotel California,但演唱完这首曲子之后,音乐会就走了近一半的人。
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 (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
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 (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 nightman We are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave
