Hotel Motel 11

 



Welcome to the penultimate instalment of the Hotel, Motel (but no Holiday Inn) series

Rol seemed confident that I could easily surpass the dozen but I'm afraid his confidence is unfounded as it has proved pretty difficult to even get this far.

Anyway, less grumbling and more music I hear you say. Fair enough. In the hotel corner I give you Brothers on a Hotel Bed by the band Death Cab for Cutie from their 5th studio album 2005's Plans.

Wiki says that the song addresses possible languor in a long-time relationship whereas Genius goes further stating that this song is about a couple growing old together, as their bodies age, and they grow apart. Gibbard portrays the couple's relationship as a platonic (symbolic for a marriage or relationship) the passion has died. Make of that what you will

Fortunately, as you would expect,with Moonlight Motel, The Boss is much more straightforward on the final track of the 2019 return to form album Western Stars

One more to go


Death Cab For Cutie - Brothers on a Hotel Bed

Bruce Springsteen - Moonlight Motel


s (symbolic for a marriage or relationship), the part.  portrays the couple’s relationship as a platonic relationship between siblings. Though they share a bed (symbolic for a marriage or relationship), the passion has died.

  2. And I have two motel songs you haven't featured yet if you need them (although it sounds like you have your 12th and final one already)
