Hotel California

"This song is as close to a self-portrait as I'll ever get."

"Every word of this song means something to me."

"This is the song I want people to remember me by."

"It feels like it was written for exactly this moment."

"It's the song I want people thinking of when they think of me."

"Because life is long and complicated and this song gets it."

"This is the sound of everything I couldn't say to the people I lost."

"It's the song I turn to when I need to feel less alone."

"It's not complicated. It's just right."

"It says what I never could."

"This is the sound of everything I couldn't say to the people I lost."

"This is the song I scream along to when I need to let something out."

"I want people to know exactly who they were saying goodbye to."

"I want this to be a moment for whoever needs to grieve, properly."

"It's the song that's always been there, quietly, in the background of my life."

"I played this on repeat after I lost someone I loved."

"This is the sound of everything I felt and couldn't explain."

"I want people to know exactly who they were saying goodbye to."

"It's the song I'd choose if I could only ever choose one."

"I want whoever's there to know this was a deliberate choice, and it mattered."
