Hotel California - Eagles

Written by：Glenn 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 Bends

She got a lot of pretty pretty boys 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 1969

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 place

Such a lovely face

They living it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise 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

You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave

　　年少时候听这首歌，只感觉它的旋律很让人淡定和从容。如今到了而立之年，每天处理很多工作，每天见识那么多变化，终于感悟到了它究竟唱的是什么。现在我们只能强迫自己成为一个训练有素的“金融屠夫”，关注全球范围的债券市场、股票市场、商品市场以及外汇市场，研究套期保值、对冲策略、资金管理和风险控制，建立自己的交易系统和模型，甚至成立自己的对冲基金，才能够改变被全球金融体系奴役的命运吧。

　　无论如何，我们只有知道自己所处的背景，才能摆脱被奴役的命运。但是我们要深信一点：未来的世界会越来越文明，所谓的压迫、剥削、或者奴役，都将随着西方的没落而消失。

　　美国经典摇滚乐团老鹰合唱团(TheEagles)成军44年，拥有多首经典作品。18日，其官方网站宣布主唱兼吉他手格列·弗雷(GlennFrey)因为风湿性关节炎、结肠炎和肺炎等多重并发症于纽约病逝，享年67岁。

　　老鹰乐队于20世纪1970年代早期成立于美国洛杉矶，共拥有7张专辑与29支单曲，其中《加州旅馆》是他们最出名的专辑，在滚石排出的史上最伟大500张专辑位于第37位。1980年，老鹰乐团一度解散，但又在1994年重组，1998年乐团被迎入摇滚名人堂。

　　格列·弗雷于1948年11月6日出生于密西根州的汽车工业中心底特律。出道时曾和同乡J。DSouther组成二重唱，后创立老鹰合唱团。

　　格列·弗雷作为老鹰乐队的成员，身兼歌手、词人和演员，擅长吉他、贝斯、键盘和口琴。老鹰乐队的歌大都出自于核心鼓手兼主唱唐·亨利（加州旅馆的演唱者）、格列·弗雷之手，他们两人是乐队的核心人物，也是自始至终唯一坚守自己岗位的老成员。老鹰合唱团的特色是有着整齐优美的和声，这些和声编排大多是格列·弗雷的功劳。
