11 Eagles Wedding Songs like Love Will Keep Us Alive
The Eagles are considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. We are not the only ones who think so. The Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
The Eagles started in 1971 and played together until 1980. The band then decided to take a break. A long break. The hiatus was for fourteen years. The Eagles reformed in 1994 and still play together today.
Their 2014 tour is called The History of the Eagles and played songs from the beginning, through the Hell Freezes Over album and also some of Joe Walsh’s legendary hits. Glenn Fry passed in January 2016 and the band will never be the same again.
Eagles Wedding Hits
I Can’t Tell You Why
Released in 1980 on the album The Long Run
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Cause I love you
Nothing’s wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
And I can’t tell you why
I rank this song not only for its mass popularity but for what it means to the band. Timothy B. Schmit joined the band and the band wanted Timothy to be the lead singer on a song. This is that song that promoted Timothy as an Eagles band member and a music star.
Hotel California
Released in 1977 on the album Hotel California
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
One of These Nights
Released in 1975 on the album One of These Nights
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I’ve been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I’ve been searching for an angel in white
I’ve been waiting for a woman who’s a little of both
And I can feel her but she’s nowhere in sight
Desperado
Released in 1973 on the album Eagles
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
The Best of My Love
Released in 1974 on the album On The Border
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Oh, sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love
Take It Easy
Released in 1972 on the album Eagles
Lyrics To Inspire You:
We may lose, and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in
To take it easy
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Released in 1972 on the album Eagles
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I get this feelin’ I may know you
As a lover and a friend
Take It To The Limit

Speed on up, take it to the limit
Only live once, live it fast for a minute
Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Love Will Keep Us Alive
Released in 1994 on the album Hell Freezes Over
The Eagles had many hits over the decades. This is the newest song but thought it deserved to be on this list as it brought the next generations into the love of Eagles music.

There’s no more emptiness inside
When we’re hungry, love will keep us alive
