Song history flashback
‘Hotel California’ is a track from the Eagles’ album of the same name which was released in 1977. The song is considered the best known recording by the band. In 1998 its long guitar coda /a passage that brings a piece to an end/ was voted the best guitar solo of all time. It was awarded the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978. The lyrics of the song have been interpreted by fans and critics alike. The Eagles themselves describe the song as their interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles. According to one of the band’s members the song is about the journey from innocence to experience.

What happens next?
The mail carriers collect all the postcards and letters from the mail boxes around the town. The mail travels to different places. When it arrives, the post office workers separate the letters and postcards according to the addresses. Then the mail carrier that delivers post for the neighbourhood will put the postcard in your friend’s or family’s mail box. When the receiver opens the mailbox they will see the postcard. They’ll read it and will be very happy to hear from you. They may keep the postcard as a souvenir and look at it from time to time.
