Hotel California by Eagles

Owen的碎碎念, by owenlee.

Eagles

喜爱英文歌曲的人没有几个不知道“Hotel California”(加州旅馆)和“Take It Easy”,这两首空前绝后的钻石级金曲是20世纪最著名的流行音乐作品,而造就它们的就是以美国国鸟命名的乐队Eagles。Eagles是美国老牌的摇滚乐队,他们的成功之处是在于把摇滚、流行和乡村音乐很好地结合在一起,他们的音乐符合各个层次的欣赏者,成了名副其实的“大众偶像”。
最著名招牌曲“Hotel California”是充满诡异、动人旋律的钻石级金曲,单看歌词,寥寥数笔,便几乎把上世纪70年代所有的忧伤与迷惘卷携殆尽。不过借用中国的一句古语“成也萧何,败也萧何”来说,可能是“Hotel California”太成功了,歌迷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。Eagles的歌很少用钢琴,没想到偶然用了,正好配得上Don Henly质感十足的声音。
