老鷹樂隊(duì)顛峰之作《加州旅館》
Hotel california 加州旅館
the eagles(老鷹樂隊(duì))
老鷹樂隊(duì)(eagles)是崛起在70年代初期具有廣泛影響力的搖滾樂隊(duì)；1976年是eagles最為輝煌的一年,年底推出的第五張專輯hotel california；并被譽(yù)為70年代美國最重要的專輯。
在這張專輯里,"eagles"以一種極為頹廢曖昧的方式反映了70年代美國世風(fēng)日下， 混沌與散漫的社會(huì)風(fēng)氣".這首同名單曲Hotel california，更是eagles的一部完美之作,其詭異莫名的歌詞 感人心弦的旋律,幾乎把上世紀(jì)70年代所有的憂傷與迷惘卷攜殆盡。
Hotel california自面世開始，立即就引來很多的質(zhì)疑與批評。許多人都不能理解歌詞后段撲朔迷離的場面在昭示什么。
