(Chorus) 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 (Verse 3) Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends 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 (Verse 4) 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... (Chorus) Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis (Verse 5) Mirrors on the ceiling, the 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 (Verse 6) 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!' The Story Behind "Hotel California" Released in 1977, "Hotel California" is the title track from the Eagles' album of the same name and has become their signature song. Written by Don Felder (music), Don Henley, and Glenn Frey (lyrics), the song is a haunting, allegorical tale that has captivated listeners and sparked countless theories about its meaning for decades. While many myths have sprung up around the song (suggesting it's about satanism or a specific asylum), the band members have consistently explained it as a commentary on the dark, hedonistic side of the American Dream, particularly the excess and self-destruction they witnessed in the Los Angeles music scene of the 1970s. The "Hotel California" of the song is a metaphor for this alluring but ultimately inescapable world of fame and fortune. The track won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978 and is celebrated for its mysterious, cinematic lyrics and its unforgettable dual-guitar solo. Performed by Don Felder and Joe Walsh, the extended outro is a masterclass in harmony and technique, and it is consistently ranked as one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history. #HotelCalifornia #TheEagles #GuitarLesson #ClassicRock #GuitarCover #PlayAlong #70sMusic #DonFelder #JoeWalsh #GuitarSolo
