Eagles - Hotel California - Song & Lyrics

 

This song will be there in every list of Greatest Songs of All Time and you will certainly know why it's there the moment you hear it.


This song features in the album of the same name by the Eagles and this became their best selling album

The song has a guitar solo at the end that is so beautiful that I kept on hearing that in my head for a whole day.

To top it off, watch the live concert version of this song if you can because you can truly see how he played the guitar solo at the end, the genius and difficulty in playing it... wow!

Here are the lyrics...

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
