The Eagles gave the world of Rock some classic lyrics with Hotel California. But do you think the song makes any sense at all?

Tinged with sarcasm, wit, fear, exploitism and curiosity, the song remains a classic and always will. Then of course there's the guitars...

james - shropshire exactly what are colitas?
kenny peoria,il classic tune that is timeless and with so many personal meanings
paul douglas/ inverness settle an argument, what & whom is the song about?
Pete Best song ever for beer drinking and pool playing! A real heart stopper!
Jorge Rocabruno In my opinion is the most excellent guitar performance I ever heard in one song
julie bargoed wales uk brilliant song, i love the eagles always have, only seen them once in birmingham uk, i was mesmerised.
fidel /Lagos/Nigeria This Song is a horror movie without pictures.what a spooky tale.And the Guitar sollo spine chilling
Biker, Berlin "And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’"
I think those guys are in jail and all those nice things i.e. hotel, sea and cars are their illusion
Andrew ,Staffs Hotel California is just one of many timeless classics produced by The Eagles.
Tom, Ohio The use of the word "spirit" in reference to wine has a double meaning "...we haven't had that spirit here since 1969." It's more about the "spirit" of that year.
Elizabeth Ojeda Ait-Lahcen/San Diego CA Do I think that the song makes any sense? Ofcourse it does. If you know Spanish as we Spaniards do, its the greatest song ever!!
Just find a translation from Spanish to English and you will realize how rich the song becomes being sung in Spanish.
Athena , California This song is perfection-every note and every word. The California scene of the time, the materialism, the drugs, the Spanish Mission-style buildings ("..the mission bell.."),and the sea as a background, all that the Eagles were living at the time, make the lyrics a thinly disguised allegory. I can't get tired of very attentively listening to it, savoring each chord, looking at "Hell freezes over" or just headphones.
John, Reading UK There is a sub-plot here I guess we'll never fully understand... but Hey - who cares it saw me through my O'levels in 1978 and has been in my cars ever since... One day I will hit that dark desert highway for myself...
EILEEN NORTH WALES BEST EVER,I WAS 17 AT THE TIME...GREAT MEMORIES
