Favourite moments in Eagles songs

[Prettymaid]

ICTYW is one of my favorite Eagles songs. I love the final guitar solo. It's so smooth and silky and just like Timothy, my eyes close and my head rolls back on my neck...very sexy solo.

I have a couple of Don Henley vocal moments also, that really get to me.

The first one is in OOTN during the second verse;

One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams, now
We're going to find one,
Mmmm, one that really screams.

I love it when he, like, sucks air through his teeth and them says Mmmm! So sexy, like he's imagining it as he's singing it! I've always loved that.

In the same vein, in HC, after he sings,

Her mind is tiffany twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz

and he grunts, ooh, I love that grunt! I love the raw emotion he puts into those two examples.

Ok now ya know why I am tiffanny twisted lol

Funny how it's the little touches or riffs that we love. I wonder how many of those are improvised? They must have a real perception of what will work well in the moment.

I've thought about this before - not just with Eagles songs but all songs. Usually it's the way a phrase is sung, or something that sounds like an ad lib that catches my ear. I'm not sure it's an artist's perception of what will work. I think most of the time they have no idea what we, the listener will pick up on, and it's just plain luck!

I totally agree with all you've mentioned. Especially the "nighty-night", "debutantes in Houston" and guitar solo in ICTYW. All some of my favorite moments.
Also can't forget the amazing bass intro to OOTN.
I also love the intro to After the Thrill is Gone and the line "so you keep on singing for the sake of a song".
New Kid..."he's holding her and you're still around..oh my my...".
Last Resort..."and Jesus, people bought 'em". Actually that whole song gets to me. By the end I'm ready to cry.

"I like the way your sparkling earrings lay..." or "sway" or however he sings it.

I also like Don and Glenn in the background of ICTYW "...keep your head, little girl..." They really pushed the 70's funk frontier on that song - love it.

When glenn and don sing.......tell me what do I with my heart when I'm still loving you. Gets me everytime. Just how they sing it with such emotion.

What a great topic. I haven't got much time here today so I will just start with these & come back later on. There was one solo song mentioned. Perhaps we could have separate topics for those.

Anyway my two moments for now are:

'Oh my my' and 'WHOO WHOO'! I don't think I have to explain those, do I?

I have 3 ---

1 - When Glenn sings "and I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight with a billion stars all around" --- every time I hear that line, I imagine being in the back of an old 55 chevy truck looking up at the sky... (of course this vision/dream involves Glenn too) --- Have been having this same daydream since I first heard the song in the 10th grade... (wish we could go back to those days!)

2 - When Don sings "even if you don't love me anymore" .... how how could someone stop loving that man???

3 - When Don sings "I know what's been on your mind... your afraid it's all been wasted time'....
