Hotel California Song By The Eagles You Can Enter Anytime But Can Never Leave Satanic


Eagles were a rock band that took the rock music scene by storm in the 1970s. Among their most notable albums that redefined the rock music movement ‘Hotel California’ deserves a special mention. The title song of this album with the same name proved to be a chartbuster after its solo release in 1977. The credits for the song’s composition belong to Glenn Frey, Don Felder and Don Henley. It became so popular with the audience that it managed to hold the top slot for a week in Billboard Hot 100 post its release. This song went on to win the coveted Grammy Award the year after its release.

Hotel California is regarded by numerous rock music bands and polls as a cult song of the genre. According to the opinion of the Rolling Stone magazine, this song is among the top 50 greatest songs of any age. The guitar solo rendition of the song has earned the 8th place in Top 100 Guitar Solos of Guitar Magazine.

The astounding popularity of Hotel California resulted in the band coming up with different versions of the song. For instance, the 1980 live album of the Eagles contain the song. The famous ‘Hell Freezes Over’ version in the reunion concert CD is another notable example in this context. As a matter of fact, the latter version uses eight guitars and exudes a markedly Spanish feel.

The lyrics of Hotel California narrate about a luxury resort where one can enter anytime but can never leave. The song tells the story of a tired traveler getting trapped in a lurid resort that fooled him with temptations and illusions. However, the music experts believe that it is kind of an allegory regarding self destruction and hedonism in the contemporary music industry of south California. The symbolic and abstract nature of this song has been variedly interpreted by the lovers of rock music over the years.

Some people go to the extent of interpreting the song Hotel California from a satanic perspective. These claims have not found favor with the band members. However, some of the words used in the lyrics have direct or indirect connotations with symbolic things associated with frenzy and spell. The first line of the song makes a direct reference to marijuana plant buds. A number of bands in other nations have come up with their versions of the song. These include ‘SkaDaddyZ’, an US based band, ‘The Cat Empire’ an Australian band and ‘Alabama 3’, a British band. Hotel California Song
