The Last Resort
Let’s take a trip back to the 70s, a time when rock music was at its peak and the Eagles were ruling the charts. One of their most iconic songs, “The Last Resort,” holds a special place in the hearts of music enthusiasts even today.
Released in 1976 as part of their album “Hotel California,” “The Last Resort” showcases the incredible songwriting skills of Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The song takes you on a journey through the dark side of the American dream, exploring themes of environmental destruction and the loss of innocence.
The composition of “The Last Resort” is a masterpiece in itself. The haunting melody, combined with the powerful harmonies and intricate guitar work, creates an atmosphere that is both captivating and thought-provoking. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a paradise lost, with lines like “They call it paradise, I don’t know why / You call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye.”
What sets “The Last Resort” apart is its timeless message. It serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the consequences of our actions and the importance of preserving our planet. The song’s influence can be seen in the way it continues to resonate with audiences today, inspiring discussions about environmentalism and the pursuit of a better world.
If you haven’t had the chance to listen to “The Last Resort” yet, I highly recommend giving it a listen. It’s a song that not only showcases the Eagles’ musical prowess but also leaves a lasting impact on the listener. So, grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let the haunting melodies of “The Last Resort” transport you to a world of introspection and reflection.

The Last Resort – Eagles lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
She came from ProvidenceOne in Rhode IslandWhere the old world shadows hangHeavy in the airShe packed her hopes and dreamsLike a refugeeJust as her father came across the seaShe heard about a placePeople were smilin’They spoke about the red man’s wayAnd how they loved the landAnd they came from everywhereTo the Great DivideSeeking a place to standOr a place to hideDown in the crowded barsOut for a good timeCan’t wait to tell you allWhat it’s like up thereAnd they called it paradiseI don’t know whySomebody laid the mountains lowWhile the town got highThen the chilly winds blew downAcross the desertThrough the canyons of the coastTo the MalibuWhere the pretty people playHungry for powerTo light their neon wayGive them things to doSome rich men came and raped the landNobody caught ’emPut up a bunch of ugly boxesAnd Jesus people bought ’emAnd they called it paradiseThe place to beThey watched the hazy sunSinking in the seaYou can leave it all behindSail to LahainaJust like the missionaries didSo many years agoThey even brought a neon sign“Jesus is coming”Brought the white man’s burden downBrought the white man’s reignWho will provide the grand design?What is yours and what is mine?‘Cause there is no more new frontierWe have got to make it hereWe satisfy our endless needsAnd justify our bloody deedsIn the name of destinyAnd in the name of GodAnd you can see them thereOn Sunday morningStand up and sing aboutWhat it’s like up thereThey call it paradiseI don’t know whyYou call someplace paradiseKiss it goodbye
