Pjesma nedelje - Hotel California

Prema obecanju od prosle nedelje, danas nastvaljam sa muzickim numerama “Po vasem izboru”. Ovaj put ce to biti i doslovno: Cadjo ja spomenuo Hotel California, nesto je na tu temu dodao i Nermin, pa mi je to pomoglo u odluci koju pjesmu da odaberem za ovu nedelju. Licno sam planirao nesto drugo, ali moze i ovako. Naime, htio sam se malo zadrzati u 60-tim, vratiti se u doba igranki u Domu kulture, prisjetiti se tih lijepih dana kroz muziku koja se pjevala tih godina, osjetiti atmosferu u sali, pokazati mladjoj generaciji (ako ih jos ima medju posjetiocima bloga) sta smo slusali tih godina, na koje taktove se plesalo.

Sjecanja na album i istoimenu pjesmu su jos svjeza, iako je od tog doba proslo vec 30 godina. Longplejke (vjerujem da ima onih mladjih koji ne znaju o cemu se radi), koje smo tako s ljubavlju skupljali (znam da ih ima koji ih jos uvijek ljubomorno cuvaju, uvjerio sam se to pri posjeti Norveskoj!), su otisle u historiju, zamijenjene CD-ovi, ali dobra muzika je nezamjenjiva. Tako i ova pjesma, koju mozete poslusati ako kliknete na ikonu ispod (ponekad morate kliknuti dva puta, jer ove nove tehnologije nikad ne rade kako bi ocekivali), ne moze pasti u zaborav, a za mene ce uvijek zauzimati jedno od najvisih mjesta na mojoj muzickoj top-listi.

Da objavljene pjesme ne bi prebrzo pale u zaborav, uz najnoviju ce biti moguc pristup i do posljenjih pet objavljenih. Na taj nacin ce oni koji rjedje svracaju na blog bit u prilici da poslusaju i ono sto je objavljeno ranije.

Ako kojim slucajem bude nekog interesa pa posjetioci pocnu glasati za pojedine muzicke numere, mogli bi napraviti pravu top listu. Ali, o tom, potom.

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 placeSuch 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,
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 placeSuch 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
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember,
I wasRunning 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!
