第一首介紹的歌曲就是英文歌，會不會讓人誤會我平常都在聽英文歌呢？？？
由於我本身對英文完全不行，所以正確解答是我其實很少在聽英文歌～笑！！
但是這首經典英文老歌HotelCalifornia，我想聽過卻不愛上它的應該不太可能吧！！

《加州旅館》（英語：HotelCalifornia）是美國樂團老鷹合唱團於1976年晚期發表的一張專輯。這是老鷹合唱團在喬·沃爾什取代創團團員伯尼·黎登發行的首張專輯，同時也是樂團最初貝斯手兼主唱之一蘭迪·麥斯納所參與的最後一張專輯。

如果沒記錯，第一次聽到這首歌好像是我的偶像之一謝霆鋒曾在某個節目中演唱過，當時就覺得超好聽的一首英文歌曲啊！！！後來託我那位喜歡聽英文歌曲的老弟的福，也聽過幾個不同的版本…
不過對我來說，印象最深刻難忘的，依然是在北海道札幌某家Club裡聽過的現場演奏版本。
畢竟音樂其實就是這樣，說得再多都沒有用，請用自己的耳朵跟靈魂去感受記憶，屬於自己最真實的感動與故事──

Lyrics：D.Felder/D.Henley/G.FreyMusic：D.Felder/D.Henley/G.Frey 

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...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember
some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here
of our own device'
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
