Hotel California : The Eagles

Hotel California : The Eagles

The song released in late 1976 was sold over millions of copies worldwide. 

Dear All,

How do I start on this topic? So many things I want to say but very less words to express. I have always been avid music lover. Any genre is good for me. Music creates Magic! I think its the sound of your heart, mind and soul beautifully presented. Those who can create music are amazingly talented people. They have the power to put together those feelings and emotions and bring out something which we call music.

Today I was listening to radio at work. The best of 60's, 70's and 80's. I was born in 80's so obviously I love 80's music. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Gn'R and many more rocked the world. The station was playing 'Hotel California' by The Eagles. Suddenly all of a sudden memories of flashback came rushing into my mind. I don't know when exactly I heard this song for first time, but I loved it ever since I heard it. I can receit each and every word by heart. Well, I kind of have some memories for all the songs I love. With this particular song, 'Hotal California' I do have loads of good memories associated with it.

• Back home watching MTV or Channel V and listening to Hotel California.
• Adrian Sir (from Band 1974) used to play guitar and sing this song for us in School.
• Some concert in school ( school days are the best days)
• School and College picnics where my friends used to play guitar and sing this song.
• Last but not leaset, I went to HardRock Casino with few brothers. We sat at the bar and the stereo played this song. My brother and I were little tipsy but still managed to sing every single words of this song teehee. :) The lady in the bar was staring at us. I don't quite know the reasons behind her twisted looks but what I assume was that she thought how come these chinky looking people know this song by heart. The casino was indeed full of professional Chinese gamblers. 

Some songs are written in such a way that they are called evergreen. You hear it now and even if you hear it after 20 years you still feel like singing it. People of all age group likes this kind of songs regardless of their gender. One of the ways of being happy for me is to listen to music. I believe and bring into practice 3 advantages of listening to music and singing with it.
1. Increases vocabulary power
2. Pronounciation could get better
3. Brain Practice ( gotta memorise whole song)

On top of all these our mind can be at ease and we can even relax listening to music. There are many songs which I like most. If I try to write it, it'll be a novel. To be honest, I would like to write a nice song someday and even after I die, my song would still be around. Just a random thought only hehe. :) :D

Enough of this long post now, hope you felt something that I want to express. 

Ciao, Cheerio!!!

  2. saathi, ur blog is rejecting my comments (so it seems). whatever i post just vanishes. ny ways Hotel California is defo one of those songs which takes you back to places where you heard it last. if i had to hand pick one particular memo associated with this song - quite possibly i'd pick the time when my cousins and frens would gather at my place; we'd sing HC like crazy... urgh... memories.
