在流行音乐历史上,仅凭借一支单曲就足以红遍全球的乐队或者歌手非常罕见,但是The Eagles(老鹰)乐队就是这样一支成就辉煌的乐队,他们的单曲《Hotel California(加州旅馆)》可以说是除了美国国歌以外最为著名的美国歌曲,即便是时间过去了三十年之后,这首歌依然没有丝毫色,他已成为了美国具有象征性的音乐作品之一,乐队本身也已进入了摇滚乐名人堂,The Eagles代表着一个时代。他们不仅是70年代最畅销的乐队之一,而且他们1976年发行的两张作品,精选集《Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975》和专辑《Hotel California》双双进入了美国唱片工业协会(RIAA)史十大最畅销专辑行列,《Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975》仅在美国本土的销量就超过了两千八百万张,平均每十个美国人就拥有一张他的唱片,被RIAA认证为美国历史上的销量最高的唱片,大大高于Micheal Jackson的《Thriller》的两千六百万和Pink Floyd的《The Wall》的两千三百万。专辑《Hotel California》的销量超过一千六百万张,同时,他们的另一张精选集《Greatest Hits, Volume II》销量也超过了一千万张,同样成为了钻石唱片(RIAA规定,美国本土销量达到50万张鉴定为金唱片,100万张为白金唱片,1000万张就被授予钻石唱片的奖励称号,此外还有多白金唱片的鉴定)。乐队本身也以总计超过8600万张唱片的销售纪录成为了美国历史上第三大畅销的乐队,仅次于披头士乐队 (the Beatles)和齐柏林飞船乐队(Led Zeppelin)。

歌曲:Love Will Keep Us Alive
歌手:The Eagles
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
I was standing
All alone against the worlk outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
这首歌由贝斯手Timothy B.Schmit演唱。这是我最为欣赏的Eagles的演唱方式,坐在一起,淡淡的旋律在他们手指的弹拨下如涓涓小溪轻轻地流淌。我喜欢在夜深人静的时候戴上耳机听这首歌,这时,Timothy B.Schmit仿佛就坐在面前,以老朋友的身份和你促膝长谈,生活的艰辛,人生的磨难,没有海誓山盟,没有信誓旦旦,旅途漫漫,只有你的爱人与你携手,互相扶持着共赴人生的终点。
