| Eagles – Hollywood Waltz Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| The Hollywood Waltz is a descriptive term that the Authors of the Song use to relay a "Theme" of a "shared-behavior" they probably all experienced during the time they lived in Southern California. The common place in time, experiences and (sometimes "fragile") emotional state they were all experiencing as young aspiring (often struggling) Musicians in Los Angeles (particularly Hollywood). Apparently, they had many friends, but not many close "female friends" or "lovers" (at least not many they could trust). The Lyrics bring you into both a time and place (or "mind-set" and "feeling") of a young man appreciating a moment of reflection in his life (during a beautiful time of year.....Springtime.....the Acacias are Blooming...) as he reflects on his (and others') "hollow relationship" with an older, more mature woman, who many they (and presumably others) have "shared" or "loved".....all a part of the Hollywood Scene in the 1970's. The Author(s) have "given-in" to "temptations of the flesh". In this song they very eloquently label this transgression "The Hollywood Waltz". Extremely Poetic, Beautifully Written and Forever a Spring-time Favorite. | |
