That may be one of the reasons why this song is so well known – people remember it. Also, it’s easier to remember something if it rhymes, because of the repetitive sounds.
The rhymes are there to maintain the rhythm, which is important in a song otherwise it would be difficult to sing. One of the linguistic effects The Eagles have used in this song is rhyme So, just to make it clear, this analysis is my interpretation of the song. But it was also about the uneasy balance between art and commerce.” They mean to say that this song is really about materialism, and the problems materialism can cause. It was really about the excesses of American culture and certain girls we knew. This song is an excellent description of exactly that – there’s so much prejudice in today’s community, and it might be easy to forget (when we’re talking about someone with drug addiction) that we’re dealing with human beings with feelings, thoughts, families etc.ĭon Henley, one of the band-members of The Eagles, said this about the song: “Some of the wilder interpretations of that song have been amazing. For me, this song is about a drug addict and the feelings and problems he or she faces every day. There’s more than one way to make an understanding of this song, it has to be done individually. In fact, Eagles won the 1977 Grammy Award for Record of the year for “Hotel California”. The song was written and released as a single in early 1977, and is one of The Eagles’ best songs. “Hotel California” is a song written by the well known American rock-band, Eagles. So why not try to figure out what the lyrics really mean? This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I’ve come up with.
Then it occured to me that song lyrics are just as much a form of poetry as any poem written by Keats or Shakespeare. Who doesn’t love this song? How many times have you listened to the cathcing melody, absentmindely singing along to the lyrics? I know I’ve done it a million times.
