Eagles - Hotel California
8 min - Apr 28, 2008
"Hotel California" was the title song from the Eagles' album of the same name, and was released as a single in early 1977. It is one of the best-known songs of the Album Oriented Rock era.<br /><br />The lyrics of the song describe the title establishment, a hotel where "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave". <br /><br />On the surface, the song is a tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared tempting; as a metaphor the song may be commenting on drug addiction or simply the decadent lifestyle the hugely successful band had been caught up in. <br /><br />Another theory is that the song is about a mental hospital or a federal prison. The expression "check out" is also considered a metaphor for dying.
