歌曲《加州旅馆》乐曲赏析
《加州旅馆》自1977年面世开始，立即就引来很多的质疑与批评。尽管谁也不敢夸口说自己的理解是正解版本，但歌词中明显的吸毒、淫乱、邪教等暗示还是引起道德卫士的不满，并且在美国受到宗教团体的怀疑。不过，《加州旅馆》歌曲中那成经典的吉他旋律、诡异莫名的歌词内容、感人心弦的悲世情怀，使得这首《加州旅馆》成为乐迷的最爱。
歌曲《加州旅馆》的歌词
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
I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me intoway
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
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 benze
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
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 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 place
Such a lovely face
Livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
In the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
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 night man
We are programmed to receive
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave
歌曲《加州旅馆》的创作背景
60年代是美国音乐界的自由创作时期，摇滚乐的流行成为60年代自由与反叛思想的象征，然而其盛况也逐渐造成了乐手日益糜烂的生活态度。吸毒和淫乱几乎成了每个美国摇滚乐手在70年代走的同一条堕落之路，金钱与享乐成为了摇滚音乐在70年代的新形象。
同为音乐人的老鹰乐队看到这样的事实，却无能为力。乐手们已经将这种沉迷的生活看成了是音乐界的常态，摇滚乐手们周围总充满了漂亮的姑娘和糜烂的生活。于是，乐队创作了这首《加州旅馆》。
