What are some other rock classics that you think hold a deeper meaning?
In the Progressive Rock department the Moody Blues' "You And Me". 'Deeper meaning' here means that the lyrics don't mean what they seem to mean. You could say, there's more to it than meets the eye. I didn't realize this until someone pointed it out to me.
I think of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here".
Alice in Chains - "Rooster"
Needle and spoon
This will always be an absolute classic regardless
regardless of what ?........
This song is like a mirror. It is a reflection of the listener.
No it's not. Welcome to hell f***ers 🤣🤣🤣
Remember seeing Don Henley say, in an interview, that it symbolized the loss of innocence, life rips away, "and there's no way to find where I was before." That struck me how inextricable loss is to our reality.
Beautiful and tragic at the same time.
The Eagles are an amazing group.
Hotel California is an awsome song and will be forever be a true classic.
A song about going to hell and bring trapped there forever yeah great song
@@user-mf5ue6rc5nnot every good song have to be about butterflies and flowers💀
Hotel California. A ghost story set to music.
Facts it is
@@wprjxyes agreed
The hotel is haunted 👻
beverly hills hotel
I had always wanted to know the meaning of this song.
Classic after Classic 🔥
The eagles was my first concert and it was such an amazing experience! 2009 conseco field house and they opened the concert with the king of the hill theme
One of the greatest metaphorical songs of all times.
-Drugs and addictions
-Satanism
- Bohemian Groove
- A dark story (like epstein)
You chose...
When i think of 70's rock,this tune always comes to mind.🤟
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Dewey Bunnell wrote and sang lead on "Horse with No Name", Ventura Highway" and "Tin Man" (all my favorites).
Those are America not the Eagles but still great songs.
Personally I don't give a damn about the meaning, I just enjoy it.
Telling people the truth about space and the moon.
While pushing drugs to people to beleive the lies. And be comfortably numb...but thats another band😊
Love The Eagles and Don!
Which Don?
@@joea7763 funny
Well my theory was alot more complex than the reality...
To me it told the story of a man who died while falling asleep at the wheel
(head grew heavy and my sight grew dim)
And everything that came after was just his experiences with people in the afterlife.... but hey atleast we know what the real meaning was lol
That actually describes The Weeknd's video for his 2015 song entitled, The Hills. 🎶
Imo...
Hotel California is about being stuck in a seemingly fun, horrible hellish situation that you will never NEVER get out of.
Love the song we were down the beach and got strandarf
Joe Walsh said in a recent interview hotel california meant that at that time alot of bands were coming to california to get noticed like on the sunset strip ect ect , California seemed like a big hotel !
I've found that if you want to get this song off You Tube, you need to find the list from their Legacy album. 🎶❤️
I've always thought Hotel California is an allergy of life in California, and the band's life style.
I love Hotel Hotel Calamine 🙂 When it came out Was on Radio So i much I got tired of listening , Not Since ! Favorite Eagles Song Saw the Eagles here in Nashville Eagles opened With Hotel California 😍 A True Classic 🎶🙂
Colitas means Little Tail, slang term for weed, among other things.
Colita's is Spanish for 'small tails', a reference you made of Marijuana having structure like little tails.
I like my own thoughts about what the song represents. But thanks for your work
The Hotel is that place your shadow self exists, like the red room in Twin Peaks
Imagine how good they would have been had they kept the original lineup or even the Felder, Meisner, Henley, and Fry lineup for just a handful of years longer.
I always thought it appeared to be a hotel but actually ended up being a insane asylum that they could never leave….to be honest they were probably all high on drugs but had a really cool guitar solo, so they just kinda came up with some really vague lines that sounded cool but we’re meaningless, kinda like “American Pie”. The songwriter has never said what it means because he doesn’t even know, it just sounds cool
It means hell
It's all occultic which is why they wont tell you what it means.
Its sounds meaningless, but it deep meaning.
A meaningless song quickly gains popularity and hypnotizes the masses... it's a spell.
God bless.
@@Nay-ll3kbhave you noticed they play again and again same 100-200 songs on radio ? Part of hypnosis and make us feel comfort with familiarity.
no wonder i never knew what colitas meant... i thought it was a drink all my life... i speak spanish but when pronouncing spanish words with english accent its hard to pick up... Colitas is "little tails" so maybe like joints is what they're referring to specifically
💞💞💞💞💞💞💯
The song is about the cloning centers in Hollywood. The main one is underground, under sunset boulevard. It’s called The Hotel California.
I drive by a *Hotel California* everyday on 580/Oakland ca
It's about crazy days drug excess blurring into the next crazy day drug excess blurring into the next 😉🙃🔥
Oh you call tell it’s deep. I recall an interview in which Glenn Frey talked about it becoming a musical. I am surprised that it hasn’t been, to be honest.
I always thought it was about a cult and sacrifice. Now im thinking Bohemian Grove......
It's a hallucination of a hotel that represents the California lifestyle that becomes an addiction. "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave."
This song is about the dichotomy within man, the war between the flesh and the Spirit. The "beast" in the Bible is the creature, the Carnal Mind that only lives by the 5 physical senses. We're meant to "overcome" this carnal nature and to awaken the sleeping (Spiritually dead) Spirit within us, and to "crucify the flesh." The crucified old man is born anew, now the Spirit Man has awakened and will guide you the rest of your days that you live in this flesh body. You no longer mix good and evil, which is equivalent to being lukewarm. You can't serve two masters. The choice is yours, you can serve the beast or you can serve the God that gave you life.
This freaking song is awsome and we all knew this before u put out sorry ur late😝
Not too bad for a band who once opened for Linda Ronstadt.
yes ! they did !!
I always saw the song as the description of the shallow life led by many people out there. "Her mind is tiffany twisted"? That takes a lot of money. "Doctor said he's coming but you got to pay in cash"? Known fact many doctors have kept high paying people on things they wanted but were paid for them off the books so if you ODed it was not traced to him giving you too much. Especially in the 70s, all young kids wanted to go to California and try to make it big. I never saw it as a real Hotel, but a reference to the whole Hollywood, big money, fast life, and celebrity type lifestyle. The drugs, addictions and hunger for that lifestyle. It's what she means when she tells him, "We are all just prisoners her, of our own device". It describes addiction to a T, whether it be drugs and booze, money, the lifestyle as a whole or whatever. Personally, I never found it too impressive. Way overrated, and seems more like suicide of actual life or at least ones mentality. Nothing worth a crap ever come from there....
k. . . . I think maybe you had to not be alive at the time to think that was some sort of "hidden" meaning.
Sorry, but was glaringly obvious.
By the way, it was, in part, also about the parties at Stevie Nicks's house in Paradise Valley. And maybe Fleeetwood Mac's parties in Sausalito. 1976-1980, those were interesting times, folks.
If you weren't alive then - you probably have *no* idea. . . .
There are also people who think this song is about Satanism. I can see it being about going to hell, but not Satanism. It's mostly people who like to play songs backwards who arrive at those kinds of conclusions.
This is what I was taught in private school
ᴉʇ,s ǝʌǝu ʍoɹsǝ ʍɥǝu ʍǝ ɟᴉup ᴉʇ dlɐʎǝp qɐɔʞʍɐɹps ɐup ndsᴉpǝ poʍu˙˙˙ - Yeah, back in the early eighties, all manner of unsubstantiated stuff like that was being pedaled by various evangelicals as "proofs" of Satan being the whole guiding force / undercurrent of rock music during the "Satanic Panic" of that time. At that time, all day care centers were held suspect due to "Satanic Ritualistic Abuse" claims (which were later shown to be false). And yes, certainly people were playing Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Eagles, KISS, etc. records backwards looking for more "proofs" of Satan. It was a very odd time...
read the lyrics….I think its about making that famoust pact with the devil and then realizing when its too late
I remember hearing about that. The one line about 1969. That supposedly had something to do with witchcraft and Anton Lavaye . And witchcraft and satanism was rumored to be popular with rock stars back then. Especially regarding Led Zep. Blue Oyster Cult. That whole playing the record backwards. That was a hoot. Lol.
@@luistoro981Ding, Ding Ding
What happened is that they were all high and dude came up with this killer guitar solo and the rest of the band decided to write some somewhat incoherent lyrics and a bunch of music critics do what they do and try to dissect and interpret everything and try to tell you what THEY THINK the artist was trying to say, when it reality , it was just a bunch of guys who were drunk and high and just wrote some shit about their actual experience in California
I thought that they might have been referring to the old Standard Hotel in California, the one that was used for child sex trafficking and massive amounts of drug trafficking and who knows what else you could get from that place. This is the same Hotel that Adam Schitt was caught/involved in the death of a 12 year old boy there. I may be wrong but I think they just changed the name from the "Standard Hotel" to "Hotel California" but like I said I may be wrong, and honestly I pray that I am wrong, but time will tell.
I think you’re on to something here..
1:57 where did they find that stock footage of the most disgusting looking weed. haha wtf
Did you see that garbage 🤮🤮🤮
😂facts
It’s definitely about drug rehabilitation
My comment is for the kid (Polyphonic) who made me think you were uncovering something we all probably wondered AND AT THE VERY END pulled some bs...What is this about?! I want your answer...
Not anyone's comment
I actually played the solos on this track
Wow, i am so enlightened now that you have exposed the hidden meaning to the song no one else has been able to because the band is too chicken shit to say what its really about.
I remember in the 70s we thought the eagles were lame Joe Walsh was the only Kool one
Could have an even more deeper and sinister meaning in 2023...
Can anyone tell why The Eagles only called Eagles now, where is the THE gone???
After knowing that they actually prefer to the music industry being leading by satan and his puppet cant get escape for real.. Its too sad
Hmmmmmm never got into their music..
The Beast is probably referring to cocaine.
Wait so there is no actual Hotel California 😢
Yea In Baja California dos Santos
Which version of the "true meaning" is this? a million and one? I was told it is about the dark side of Hollywood and fame.
It's about encountering satan and accepting the money, fame, riches, sexual pleasures etc... which is selling your soul and serving him. Jesus is coming back, you are invited into heaven 😊❤
Still love the music of the Eagles...but I know they made some reprehensible decisions...
No one :
Me one day b4 my exam :
Is it right ? It never exist ' s a hotel at road 66 ?
Idk,but heard the meaning was satanic...
Of course you did. We ALL did. What better way to get a band in the news than to have controversy in a rumor. The only thing satanic about these guys was the boat loads of cocaine they did.
If I hear this crap one more time, I am gonna snap. It means they did too much cocaine...
I don't like this song. Never even been close to California.
Fuck, how lame, i thought it was about Purgatory
Why didn't they just say cocaine
I always think this song is about murder.
Nobody knows or GAF. did they want to challenge the Animals with The House of the Rising Sun? Never gonna happen. Sorry, nice try. 😂
Cool story and lyrics, but the song and melody is some of the hottest garbage in music history 🔥🗑
