The album can be seen as a metaphor for their lives in the 1970s. The story behind Hotel California is the band’s rapid rise to fame. Every interpretation will be subjective, not definitive. There will also be a difference between what it means to me, the listener and what the writers want you to think they are singing about. The great thing about any music is that every listener will take something different from it. I have spent many hours listening to the album and plenty trying to decode the themes and truly understand the meaning of Hotel California. My annual top ten of most played songs includes as least 5 of the 9 album tracks. For the past 5 years it has been my most played album on Spotify.
Released in 1976, Hotel California rapidly became one of the world’s best selling albums.
