Bob Stwalley from Las Animas, CoGot to believe the song speaks of two lost friends reuniting.Glen from SydneySo why do we give up our hearts to the past? And so the storybook comes to a close!.Wouldn't have listened to the Eagles if not for him. Jules from OregonJoe Walsh is a fantastic, straight up guy, no BS.They are reminiscing about their wedding, with all the pretty maids in a row, the ribbons and bows.Our storybook comes to a close. Linda from Middle Tennessee, UsaI think it is about a divorced couple meeting after years have passed.Could be a wistful recollection of how it used to be, as well as the double entendre of the storybook lifestyle coming to a close.
From what I’ve heard, The Eagles used to literally have “Pretty maids all in a row” outside their hotel rooms after their shows.
Bkru from OregonMaybe an old band mate called him up, and they reminisced about their glory days and their touring lifestyle. Coloradodave from Durango, CoBob Dylan mentions this song as “.could be one of the best ever” in his 6/14/20 NYT interview. Both bands are Best Ever! Can you Boomers believe how blessed we are to have lived it all? He and Jimmy Page will always be my “go to” guys, as guitarists and for their musical arrangement talents. When he sang this on the 1994 Hell Freezes Over reunion, I felt he was singing about his sobriety and reflections as he feels them now! I love this man for his talent and raw emotion. Jimmy Page and Joe are great (sober) friends these days. I believe it is the life on the road, such as it was back then with the crazy hotel party’s.who wouldn’t have passed that up? LED Zeppelin too. Donna Marie from VermontHe sadly lost a child in 1974, Emma. The pennys so slow to drop and people going to their grave without even a basic grasp of how to live David Mcgarrity from Lennox Head AustraliaIf only knew then what you know now. then again maybe i’m completely off-track!!! either way, beautiful song Perhaps the song has some reference to him missing the messages/sign posts in life moralised by nursery rhymes and instead taking the ‘wrong’ path. This song mentions the storybook coming to a close and gone are the ribbons and bows. Anthony from Canberra Australia ‘pretty maids all in a row’ is the last line of the nursery rhyme Mary Mary Quite Contrary. One of my favorite songs on Hotel California. Maybe they were thinking more about that moment in time rather than how we would look back on it all in the future. I nominated this as the class song for our graduation, but I think the people who made the decisions at the time didn't have a clue how appropriate it would have been. 
Bill Parkville Shs '78 from Tom's River NjJoe Walsh is unfortunately underrated and has made amazing music.
