Hotel California
The song I'm analyzing for the California Dream essay is "Hotel California" by the Eagles. I think it talks about how California itself is seen as lavish and extravagant, but soon turns into a nightmare. It's inviting and tempting at first, but then turns out to be addicting and self-destructive. The song itself seems to warn and refute the idea of the California Dream and turns into a cautionary tale of California itself.

I am also using this song to write my essay, and I came to the same conclusions about the song's theme. I also like the juxtaposition between the song's beginning and its unfortunate end.
