December 7, 20178 yr Author I loved the twist of words in this song. Best Eagles song IMO. I've always loved the word twist there as well. My favorite lyrics in the song.. Oh, and it was his singing of this song that made Meisner my favorite Eagle. Nobody does this song like Meisner!!!
December 7, 20178 yr Author The Eagles - "The Last Resort" I think this was on the flipside of a 45 that I had - maybe "Life In The Fast Lane"? "The Last Resort" is much better than "Life," in my opinion..
December 8, 20178 yr Ooh, another love has come and gone Ooh, and the years keep rushing on I remember what you told me before you went out on your own Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone
December 8, 20178 yr He had white horses and ladies by the score All dressed in satin and waiting by the door... White lace and feathers, they made up his bed A gold covered mattress on which he was laid... He went to fight wars for his country and his king Of his honor and his glory, the people would sing... A bullet had found him his blood ran as he cried No money could save him so he laid down and he died... This one might've fallen through the cracks when I first posted it so I'll try it again. With the distinctive lyrics I kinda thought that it would've been guessed immediately.
December 8, 20178 yr Clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away I've done alright up to now It's the light of day that shows me how And when the night falls, loneliness calls

December 8, 20178 yr Knights in White Satin Nope but here's another hint... The writer of this song, by total coincidence, died one year ago today at the age of 69. Remarkable too is that he wrote it at the age of 12.
December 8, 20178 yr Knights in White Satin I saw what you did there.... the words "White" and "Satin" are in the song...didn't even think of that. :lol2: ...and you spelled it "Knights"....clever.

December 8, 20178 yr Clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away I've done alright up to now It's the light of day that shows me how And when the night falls, loneliness calls B-ball fan I wanna to dance with somebody, but not you.:lol2:
December 8, 20178 yr B-ball fan I wanna to dance with somebody, but not you.:lol2: Awe...You had to go and shatter my heart. :cry: Check out this down tempo cover of the tune. Some instantly dig its depth and how the lyrics really take on the meaning of loneliness, while others can't get the original out of their head long enough to appreciate it. If I'm pushing the tune, you know what camp I'm in. :lol2: I think it's just brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRqq8o9980c Now back to crying in my coffee over being rejected. :cry:

Never realized how sad the song was.
December 8, 20178 yr Really cool version. Never realized how sad the song was. That's cool that you dug it... so wild how the dude made it so deep. Previous to hearing this version I pretty much never considered it to be much more than just a dime-a-dozen ding-dong pop tune. :lol2:
December 8, 20178 yr Author Back to the seventies we go ... He left home on a winter day 1969 And he hoped to find all the love He had lost in that earlier time Well his sister grew up And she married a man He gave her a son Ah yes a lovely son They dressed him up warmly They sent him to school It taught him how to fight To be nobody's fool
