| Dan Fogelberg – Heart Hotels Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
As I had responded to someone just now, it took me 27 years of this song constantly going in my head and not remembering who it was, or not being able to find it. I conversation with a friend of mine about childhood set me down a path to finally try looking once again for this song. The past three weeks or so, Dan Fogelberg‘s name was popping through my head because for some reason his voice seem to be the one matching this song before I knew who it was. But remembering how his tune went in longer than, it made perfect sense to me. I am usually good at finding tunes and remembering pieces of lyrics but I couldn’t until now. And it wasn’t so much the lyrics, it was definitely the piano and strings combo and as someone previously mentioned, classic to jazz. Or jazzy elevator music lol! Interpretation for me of this song, I feel like he had multiple lovers in his life not necessarily all at the same time, but just many lovers. And he felt used in such away like a hotel, the stays obviously different lengths. And then came a point where he needed to work on himself so slowly working on everything while the hotel is closed a.k.a. his heart. All the while withdrawing into himself and hoping he can still find some humanity left in him to be able to love at least maybe one last time. Unanswered prayers sounds like to me had lots of hopes and aspirations to find a lover they can finally team the restlessness of being empty and lonely but not being able to find it. So until then the hotel remains closed and under renovation. That’s the best I can interpret . And as I said I can kind of resonate with that. And finally finding a song again after 27 years, and empathizing based on my interpretation, it’s a very bitter Sweet comfort. And past few days I’ve had it on constant repeat. I probably will continue to do so for a while since 27 years of missing this song in its entirety and now knowing what it feels like. It’s like getting in touch with the long lost friend. But at least my holy grail and needle in the haystack has been finally found |

| @[mfrerkes:42405] you know it’s funny you mention the melody between the strings and the piano because that is the thing I remembered most about this song. I just finally found it after 27 years of trying to figure out who sang it and what the title was. I’ve tried whistling the tune to people and no one could figure it out. But for the past few weeks for some reason remembering just The Voice a little bit and not remembering the lyrics I put two into together and finally found it. 27 years ago was the last time I had heard it in full and the first time I heard it for the last time was 10 years ago and ever cents have been desperately trying to find it. So try having this tune or melody in your head for 27 years without knowing who sang it… For the past three days now I’ve had the song and constant repeat and yes I can resonate with this song perfectly | |
