回來台北後，和一個在某大學唸書的朋友聊天，想到很多過去在這所學校短短一年間的事。
那一段是很奇妙、光明又很黑暗的日子，前半年快樂地玩和戀愛、研究書籍與知識，後半年沒辦法好好唸書，一邊為生活打拚，一邊為遠距戀愛在燃燒自己的生命，最後還是落得失敗下場。
音樂放著eagles的hotel california，想到當時的光景，有這樣的旋律，也有只是配樂的midi版本，哇，自己真的不小了。
我很喜歡eagles樂團版本後半段的吉他表演，相當地精湛又迷人。這首曲子幾乎和我一樣老（當然還是比我老就是了），每次聽都有很特別的感覺。下面這是他們其中一個版本的試聽，以及這首名曲的歌詞。
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 (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
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 (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 nightman We are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave
