Un poco de relax

Hoy es Domingo. Quedan apenas unos dias para que termine el año. Esta semana por lo tanto sera breve, asi que animos que aunque mañana es lunes apenas nos descuidemos estamos en el 2009.

Que mejor manera para afrontar esta semana que un video musical. Se trata de una actuacion en directo de Eagles, y como no podia ser de otra forma su "Hotel California".

En 1976 Eagles publica su album "Hotel California", un album que termino de catapultarles a la fama y con el que consiguieron un Grammy. En este corte que vamos a escuchar y ver Eagles aportan su vision agridulce de la sociedad estadounidense a traves de las ventanas de un hotel que representa metaforicamente el mundo de las drogas. Tal seria la repercusion de este tema que aun hoy en dia sigue apareciendo en la lista de las 10 canciones mas importantes de la historia de la musica.

De este album se extrajo una frase que paso a formar parte del lenguaje popular estadounidense : "Vivir en la via rapida" (Life in the fast lane).

Si quereis echarle un ojo a su discografia no dejeis de pasar por Last.fm

Sin mas os dejo con este fantastico video. Por favor no os perdais el solo de trompeta de casi un minuto de duracion al principio. Pone los vellos de punta.



La letra tampoco tiene desperdicio (Os dejo al final un enlace a la letra en Español).

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
The 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
There's plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is definitely twisted
She's got her mercedes benz
She's got a lotta 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 1969
And still those voices they're 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're livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place i was before
good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
You can check out anyytime you like, but you can never leave
