Who's it by again?

This is the one where they talk about going to the hotel and being "trapped" in a sense, and not being able to leave?

This whole thread doesn't make any sense.

It's by the Eagles.

shady visions

Thought so. Have you listened to the song lately or read the lyrics?

Yeah it's on XM every so often. I have a 2.5 hour commute to work and back, I'll hear it maybe once or twice a week. And I have their live CD. I don't see how it's 'demonic'...I get what you were saying about being trapped now that I think about it. That's not really the meaning of it though, the 'trapped' metaphor is saying how you can leave but the memories and experiences will always be with you...I guess :dunno:

Hotel California by The Eagles

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 place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's 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 1969
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 (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling
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 programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

hotel california is, in my opinion, not their greatest song.

it's deep for a eagles tune... but its far from demonic

LocaL raCer

good song to me. :dunno:

is it really 'Mercedes bends' and not 'Mercedes-Benz'?
