Hole in The World---Eagles老鹰乐队

GGumpUID: 119501

[color=dark green][B]昔日的加州音乐大致以两种音乐为主流，其一是把音乐与动的本质融合在摇滚乐里的“冲浪乐”(Surf Music)，另一是反映了当时的社会、文化、政治的“民谣摇滚”(Folk Rock)，虽然后者不象前者那么标榜当时美国青年活泼爽朗的特点，但被人与乡村音乐视为一体后就不被大众所喜好了。早期加州西海岸乡村摇滚较为杰出的乐队有Byrds、Poco……而Eagles正好延续了乡村音乐的精髓，在70年代绽放出强烈光芒。Eagles之所以能秉成他们原有的特色，全靠其中两位成员Randy Meisner及Bernie Leadon努力。Bernie Leadon最擅长的乐器之一是班卓琴(Banjo)，这种乐器的使用形成Eagles在早期乐风上的一大特色。Leadon在Eagles的时间不算很长，可是他在Eagles那个时候所发表的音乐，才是最清纯，最让人怀念的音乐。

　　老鹰乐队应该说是天才中的天才，说它是美国最伟大的摇滚乐团，一点也不为过。他们的专辑的销量超过了其他所有的美国乐队。迄今为止,他们专辑的销量在全球超过三亿八千万，赢得了四次最佳专辑，五次最佳单曲和四次葛莱美大奖。没有听过老鹰乐队的歌就不可能懂得什么是真正的摇滚乐！

[B]Hole in The World ^^


There's a hole in the world tonight,
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
There's a hole in the world tonight,
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed,
They say that love is just a state of mind,
But all this fighting over who is anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind,

There's a hole in the world tonight,
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
There's a hole in the world tonight,
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh, They tell me there's a place over yonder,
Cool water running through the burning sand,
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the promised land.

There's a hole in the world tonight,
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
There's a hole in the world tonight,
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed,
They say that love is just a state of mind,
But all this fighting over who is anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind,

There's a hole in the world tonight,
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow,
There's a hole in the world tonight,
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.[/B]

"Hole in the World," the Eagles' first release since their 2000 box set, Selected Works: 1972-1999, their first on their own Eagles Recording Co. II (not to be confused with Eagle Records), and their first as a quartet of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit (since the dismissal of Don Felder), is easy to interpret as the band's response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The harmony-filled ballad features a much-repeated chorus talking about a hole in the world and a "cloud of fear and sorrow," presumably a poetic way of talking about the ruin at the World Trade Center site. Lead vocalist Henley also contributes two verses in his husky voice, pondering how those who see themselves as "anointed" can take such actions. The lyrics don't have much to say beyond noting how dire things are "tonight," wondering why, and hoping things will be better "tomorrow," but the song is a typically pretty Eagles soft rock showcase. It is presented in 5.1 and stereo mixes as a black-and-white video that shows the band performing the song in a recording studio. There is also a brief "making of" section with outtakes, a five-minute "backstage" documentary on an Eagles concert performance in an arena, and a bonus CD containing an audio-only recording of the song. The release contains fairly elaborate packaging for what is essentially a simple, minor addition to the Eagles' catalog.

Hotel California

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, 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
The 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!

God!

U know!  Hotel California was our favorite song during our college days!

I also clearly remembed the last dinner of our department, all sang this song as loud as we can! Ten guitars played as crazy as they can! The capacity of our class is 30. the music fans made the large part in my class.:)

For me, it is not only a band but a memory, the precious time in my life!

We are all fans of Eagles at those days~~~~~

Time passed by before i knew it~~
