Review the Hotel California
8/4/2007
Vaguely remember high school color center guitar often practice the Hotel California, of course, the level of how I do not have the impression :) Consider that before in high school listening to Hotel California, but can not remember the first time I hear The exact time. I am used to reading the song of the computer installed WINAMP inside, and then random play. Just played to the Eagles' first classic. I love that it is more precise because of the lyrics. Many people have tried to analyze the moral of the Hotel California, in fact, it's understanding of itself is secondary to the important point to everyone is different and imagination, which is like a gravel one of the world , where a heaven in a wildflower. " I am not enthusiastic about mysticism, but I think Hotel California itself is trying to include mysticism in the inside. Followed a consistent pattern of religious and natural point of view I am afraid it is difficult to elaborate this song, the Eagles Hotel California from the perspective of human nature, and life easier to arouse our sympathy.
It is said that "Hotel California" is a real hotel, located in California BAJA coastal highway near Santa Barbara, a period of Cabo San Lucas to La Paz. Exact to say that next to the desert in Southern California highway, the town of Todos Santos todos Santos, a similar album cover hotel, in a hotel not far from the middle of the night came the bells of the church, which Hotels in the past is that there are covert sex trade. Hotel California is the name of a mental hospital, say that Hotel California is a voluntary drug rehabilitation hospital in the Southern California side of the road, the Hawks players had drug experience with the admission is the source of the creation of the lyrics.
I also think that Hotel California is a lot of songs implied drug use. First lit up a candle "is a drug commonly used language, followed by the lyrics of the most controversial is the understanding of the Warm smell of colitas. colitas not an English word. The prevailing theory is to do in Spanish interpretation, Southern California and Mexico, close neighbors, so the Spanish is often mixed in the spoken language. colitas the word most frequently is that the menu of Mexican and Spanish restaurants. cola in the Spanish middle tail (tail), colitas plural, meaning that many small tail (little tails). Bud bud of marijuana in the 1970s, was dubbed the little tail, so here colitas should be implicitly refers to marijuana. colas-the tip of a marijuana branch, is slang for cannabis branch of the branch tip, but also the marijuana the most part of the effectiveness of the best and good quality marijuana. This is also the argument of the Hawks economic Irving Azoff, is said to be a Mexican-American translation to the composer. I also saw a guy in BC, Canada a tragic but very interesting to say: when a fireworks factory explosion not far from the Hotel California, one from Greece Colitas town, Wurn Snell, blown. Don Henley, and later asked one survived to see what each other Description: the Wurn Snell, of Colitas ... rising up through the air. . .
A divergent description of the "she". tiffany literal meaning of the veil, the Tiffany used as uppercase is very well-known French art. It has two meanings, one Tiffany jewelry, hot products in the world are collected; another is the meaning of the Tiffany glass works of art, which has developed into a genre of glass products. The source of the two meanings of the word is the two Frenchman named Tiffany. Here, Tiffany should take the meaning of the glass products. While blowing the fire melted the glass while turning, the natural rotation of the left traces after cooling. Lyricist was in this one, wordplay, because of the following ink Sidi-Benz, not the original trademarks of the Mercedes Benz, Benz changed the bends, it is to twist and bend has a bend meaning, which is very similar to the Chinese in the antithesis each other even, here is used to describe "her" spiritual distortions.
The lyrics are some other interesting places include: mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, mirror ceilings top, pink champagne soaked in ice, "This is Hollywood erosion and pornography on behalf of the lens.
The surface of the whole story is to describe the experience of a drug addict, in fact, drug users weave their own chains extended to the lives of ordinary people. Indulgence, luxury and dissipation, temptation, repentance, awakening, like a scene of life melodrama, the story from here.
Unique to Southern California desert, I am a person traveling alone in the dark on the highway, cool breeze blowing hair, nose, smell is pervasive warm intoxicated cannabis incense. Looked up to the front of the distant faint light, marijuana, dizzy, my sight blurred, it seems to go there to break it. She stood in the doorway of the hotel, I heard the faint sound of distant church bells. Here could be heaven, maybe hell. I thought to myself. Ignore it, or go to rest.
She ordered a candle, showed me the way ahead, empty corridor seems to spreading waves of sound, probably say: Welcome to the Hotel California What a beautiful place, full of pretty faces. Hotel California has plenty of room when you want to come all OK. Her mental distortions, but it is very rich, driving luxury Mercedes-Benz with her friends, the handsome boy to dance in the courtyard. Sweat, crazy dancing, someone is to recall what some people want to forget. I called the foreman to get me some wine, he said that since 1969 not to sell spirits. . . The familiar voice sounded from a distance, the middle of the night woke me up: Welcome to the Hotel California What a beautiful place, full of pretty faces. Where they enjoy life, enjoy carnival multi-amazing things can give you an excuse for the fallen. Trimmed mirror on the ceiling, Pink champagne ice Jin Zhao, she said, but voluntarily stayed here a prisoner. In the master bedroom to enjoy the feast, the blades cut the food, but can not kill the hearts of demons.
The last thing I remember, I ran to the door, I'm looking for the way we came. The night watchman said to me, honey, we are only in accordance with the conventional reception, you can checkout any time, but you can never leave. . . .
Literally, drugs or mental illness, you can heal at a certain time to leave, but it will never be able to get rid of that shadow of repeating the old rail, which you can temporarily check out, but you will never leave portrayal. In fact, it wants to express far more than that.
From the perspective of mysticism and religion, the 1970s was once the popular film in the horror film, but the lyrics are triggered such a story frame. Remote desert road alone, in front of palm candle, beauty, mysterious foreman of the Bar, backyard called magic dance with intent to kill always kill the demon, even if the end always someone behind the scenes to remind the end of the sequel. These overall total, the lyrics have the feel of a ghost dense, horror movies, the psychiatric hospital more often the main place of background.
The following symbol resolution is reproduced on the network.
Hotel California is a virtual refers to the symbol is clearly more convincing. This is a symbol of at least music, living in Los Angeles, the United States are three theories.
The sixties during the creative freedom of the American music industry, the popularity of rock and roll became a symbol of freedom and rebellion of the sixties thought, however grand infinitely greedy businessman eyes. Drug use and promiscuity become almost every rock hand in the 1970s to go with a fallen road, money and pleasure to become the new image of the rock music in the 1970s. Eagle Orchestra music sight of the fact, but could do nothing. The musicians will already be living to see of this addiction has become the norm in the music industry side of the rock musicians are always filled with pretty faces and beautiful places. For the doubts, they are always self-forgiveness: take it easy, we are inherently easy to be tempted. The music industry has been unable to kill the demons of the money, even if some individuals can quit, but you will never get rid of. 1969 the 伍德斯多克 (the woodstock) is considered the pinnacle of party rock. spirit at the same time the spiritual meaning, lyrics implied 伍德斯多克 after, regardless of looks more beautiful, the spirit of rock and roll no longer exists.
That this song a symbol of American society to understand 1969: 1969 is the sixties the final year, said that since 1969 no longer that kind of spirit, refers to the sixties in the United States of freedom, peace, the spirit of equality. However, the United States into the 1970s, encountered in the Middle East oil crisis, the defeat of the Vietnam War, Nixon's Watergate. Overnight, the mental outlook of the United States from the young people who struggle to vulgar and decadent middle-aged. In a couple of years ago, a stanley kubrick shooting a "big eye-opener" (the open eye wide), saw the film audience can be found in the content of the movie with this song many quite similar to the plot. The same drug Fallen is the same dissolute sexual promiscuity, thanks to the magic is the same complex, also have the same can not escape the shadow. The film is like an explanation of this song, about the kind of state of the U.S. state of society.
Los Angeles, said the Eagles after the people numerous times to ask an answer, although songs like fiction, by the listener to interpret the left of Don Henley, such an interpretation: "We are a group from western states of the middle class background of the young, the Hotel California Los Angeles high society. it can be seen as a symbol of the United States is always the pursuit of extravagant living, and not just about the mountains of California and Bi Lihua (Los Angeles one of the most affluent area).
