乐队简介
老鹰是一支有点古老味道的乐队.熟悉欧美音乐的人没有人没有听过加州旅馆.没有人不知道Eagles.Eagles已成为摇滚乐的经典.加州旅馆亦成为欧美音乐的经典曲目.
Eagles 来自美国加州, 他们可谓当今美国音乐的源泉. 直到今天, 人们仍然认为美国的流行音乐应该包括乡村, 布鲁斯, 摇滚, 节拍与蓝调等等. 而Eagles 则源自所有的风格. 应该讲他们为自己寻求的名字正是美国的象征.
正如加州的其他乐队一样 ,Eagles 来自中美而非沿海, 他们早期的一些作品被称为' 乡村摇滚'. 七十年代, 摇滚的年代, 老鹰们飞得越高越远了, 一些作品成为歌迷们的至爱( 如 和Loin'eyes. 乡村与城市的距离正如农人与嬉皮之间的距离一样得到缩小. 在九十年代, 这个距离会越来越被新生代的乡村摇滚者来缩少. Eagles 在成长壮大, 他们在中放弃了纯摇滚而拿起了古典琴. 实际上, 这个乐队是如此的包容, 以至于我们只能冠之以' 加州摇滚' 的标签. 只能说, 在加州, 任何事都有可能, 这赋予音乐以自由的风格或变化. 从72 年到79 年的六张唱片以来,Eagles 尝试了音乐的各个方面, 他们的声音响遍了全美的电台, 唱片销量超过了其他所有乐队.Eagles 成功了, 他们熔铸了音乐的不同根源, 那是他们的传统, 也是直到今天我们仍能见证的.
Eagles 乐队成立于七十年代初 :1971 年 8 月，四名已有丰富舞台经验的乐手组成了 The Eagles( 老鹰乐队 ) ，这四个人是 Glenn Frey( 葛伦 . 弗莱 . 吉他兼键盘 ) 、 Bernie Leadon( 吉他手班尼 . 林登 ) 、 Rady Meisner( 贝司手伦第 . 麦斯勒 ) 和 Don Henley( 主唱兼鼓手唐 . 亨利 ) 。
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(shimmer: to shine fiantly) light
my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim(obscure or somewhat dark from fiantness of light)
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(a hallway or passageway usu. having rooms opening for it),
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, 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 place
such 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
they stab(to pierce with a pointed weapon) 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 backto 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
