Penned by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, who wrote so many of the Eagles' classic hits, this song makes a good statement about where we are in society and what we can do to make things better, but does it without being preachy or overbearing. The Eagles have been one of the most influential groups of the 20th century, and their new single, "Hole In The World," is a continuation of that. Just listen to the song, and you'll know why I cried.
I applaude The Eagles, for their endearing lyrics, and songwriting expertise. Their song, should also be an anthem for 9/11. And I thank God for all who survived 9/11, and for those who gave their lives to save others. And every year on 9/11, I say a prayer for all the lives lost on that day, and pray for all their families. I am a veteran of the US Air Force, and an Proud American. I was at home on 9/11, and watched it all unfold on TV. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and I cried, and played the song over and over. Needless to say, they never went into the studio that day, or for some time after.īut that night, on Sept 11th, the song, Hole In The World was written. He said that the band was supposed to go into the studio on Sept 11th to start work on a new album. On the DVD for The Eagles Farewell Tour #1, Don Henley explains the 'conception' of the song "Hole In The World". Personally, I would have preferred having a bonus live song instead. By the time I got to the second disc, which is the audio version of the song, I was thinking enough of the same song already! The backstage pass to the Farewell 1 Concert Tour contains footage of the Eagles on the road, making jokes and rehearsing. First there is the video of the song with a 5.1 mix, followed by the same video with a stereo mix, followed by outtakes from the video with an abbreviated version of the song. My problem with this release is its repetitiveness. I especially like how the video ends, as Joe Walsh gives a knowing wink to the camera and unplugs his electric guitar.
The video is also very well produced, focusing on the group in the recording studio. It is one of the best sounding songs the Eagles have ever done. Their harmonizing on "Hole In The World" is reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The Eagles are now officially a quartet: Glen Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B.
