“Hotel” is Kita’s first song to be certified Gold by ARIA, but its success is something simultaneously heartwarming and bittersweet.
The song was inspired by Kita’s sister, Tash, who passed away from cancer at the age of 21. Tash was the one who taught Kita how to play the guitar, igniting her musi...
[Verse 1]
I've been gettin' high
Almost every night
To get you off my mind
Running down my eyes
Taste like turpentine
Why can't I say goodbye?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been standing in the sand
Praying for the waves and
Everything'll be fine in the end
Because you used to say
[Chorus]
"Someday you'll find me
Where the champagne is always free
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven
We'll be somewhere in between
Somewhere in between"
[Verse 2]
When we're young again
Will you call my name?
Will you still know my face?
Tie me down with pain
Take it all away
You told me I've got to wait
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been standing in the sand
Praying for the wave but
I know now it's not the end
Because you used to say
[Chorus]
"Someday you'll find me
Where the champagne is always free
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven
We'll be somewhere in between
Somewhere in between"
[Verse 3]
When everything I want goes out the door
No choice to leave the house in search of something more
Is there darkness if I dive beneath the waves
Or will it be just like you always used to say
[Refrain]
Someday when you find me
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
Someday when you meet me
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
[Refrain]
Someday when you find me
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
Someday when you meet me
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
[Outro]
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven we'll be somewhere in between

At the time when I was to write Hotel, my partner lost a loved one. The only way I thought I could help was to dig up that feeling inside of myself and unlock the emotions that I had tried bury three years ago when my sister passed away. This song is dedicated to my friends and family and everyone e...
