through the years, my family has always loved watching documentaries! the other night we were trying to decide on what to watch, and we found out there was a documentary on the eagles! the 3 hours and 53 minutes of it flew by so fast as we were all enthralled with the music, their talent, camaraderie, and history.
i feel like there is something about their music that makes you feel like you are driving in the desert with all of the windows down and your cowboy boots and hats on! i thought it would be so fun to share some of my favorite songs in a little playlist! i’m planning on their music being the soundtrack of the summer! i hope you enjoy! ;))
- take it easy – the eagles
starting out with one of the all time favorites first! this one is so classic and full of good vibes! all of the words tell a story and it is so picturesque! it is on my bucket list to go to the corner in winslow arizona and even though my friends that have gone said it isn’t much i still really want to go haha!
- tequila sunrise – the eagles
so mellow and great guitiar!
- already gone – the eagles
this song reminds me of the 70s and it’s such a good song! i feel like all of their songs are such easy and good listens and i love this one! i honestly don’t even know what it is about but i still love it!
- hotel california – the eagles
so iconic!!
- twenty-one – the eagles
i think my brother showed me this song or i heard it for the first time with him, but it is such an underrated song! i can’t wait to listen to it on my 21st birthday haha and i love how western it is!
- peaceful easy feeling – the eagles
i think this is one of my favorites! i think it would be such a great first dance song at a wedding!
- take it to the limit – the eagles
a classic!
- new kid in town – the eagles
i love this song and feel like we’ve all been the new kid in town at one point and it is so sweet! this song captures it perfectly and reminds me of the first day of school in a way! this song always reminds me of my dad playing it!
- after the thrill is gone – the eagles
i feel like all of their slow songs are just as good as the upbeat ones!
- one of these nights – the eagles
whenever we ask alexa to play the eagles, it almost always is this song she plays first! we usually all start singing it together too haha! the beat captures the lyrics and is so 70s!
- desperado – the eagles
another great western wonder by henley!
- lyin eyes – the eagles
i know i keep saying how their songs are so picturesque, but this one really is too! i love this song and in the documentary they said it was based on true stories which is kind of sad but so cool how their creative minds wrote this! they are seriously genius!
- hollywood waltz – the eagles
i dont know if this is a real dance but this is a great underrated song!
- james dean -the eagles
this song is so cute and reminds of the beach boys and the 50s! another great documentary we just watched was the beach boys one on disney+ !
- love will keep us alive – the eagles
the sweetest long song!!
- seven bridges road – the eagles
i think this song might have been another alexa find, but it is one of my all time favorites! it reminds me of colorado and the west and transports you to what they are talking about in the song! their voices are so incredible together and they are so talented!
- get over it – the eagles
this is definitely a good song to listen to from time to time hahahaha!
- life in the fast lane – the eagles
this is another song that they said was based on a true story in the documentary where they said they were in the fast lane of the highway when they came up with the title! i love this song!
- how long – the eagles
so cute and reminds me of the 50s!
- life’s been good – the eagles (joe walsh)
i remember hearing this song growing up but it wasn’t until i was home from school over winter break that we were all watching daryl’s house on youtube which is where daryl hall from hall and oates has guests on to sing at his house! he had joe walsh on and he sang this song, and i didn’t realize how good it was until then and since then it has been on repeat for me haha! we were all talking about how cool it was that even though it was joe’s song, the eagles sang it at all of their concerts!
- the best of my love – the eagles
such a sweet song!
- heartache tonight – the eagles
i also keep saying that every song is one of my favorites but this one is too! i think this one is in the top 5! the music and guitar is just so good and summery and it makes you want to dance all night long under the stars!
- the long run – the eagles
in the documentary they said that this song was the title of the album because it took 3 1/2 years to write all the songs on it! but i love this song!
