며칠 전 지인들과 함께 저녁을 먹고 신논현에 있는 LP Bar Zeppelin에 갔습니다. 사실 음악을 무척 좋아하긴 합니다만, 조예가 깊지 않아 좋은 곡들을 많이 모릅니다. 하지만, 몇몇 곡들은 제 귀에도 익숙하여 음악에 귀기울이고 영상을 뚫어져라 쳐다보곤 했었습니다.
저도 좋은 음악을 알아갈겸 '하루에 한 곡'씩 포스팅해볼까 합니다.
오늘은 그 첫번째로 Eagles의 Hotel California 입니다.
영상은 1994년 재결합 라이브이고요, 이 곡을 예전에 집에서 5.1 채널 DVD 영상으로 듣고 본 순간을 아직도 기억합니다. 담번에 본가에 내려가면 다시 한번 들어보고 싶네요.
Hotel California - Eagles
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 place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (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 place)
Such a lovely face.
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (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 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 check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'
