Song of the day - 04/07

[zoanthropic]

Now we move on to 1975, where several albums were released, some stars were on the rise and others were on a decent into chaos.

Alice Cooper released his first solo album 'Welcome to My Nightmare' in February 1975. (His previous albums were band efforts.) The release is a concept album. The songs, heard in sequence, form a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven. It is to this day one of Alice Cooper's best albums.

"Welcome to My Nightmare"

Welcome to my nightmare
I think you're gonna like it,
I think you're gonna feel
Like you belong,

A nocturnal vacation,
Unnecessary sedation,
You want to feel at home
Cause you belong,

Welcome to my nightmare.

Welcome to my breakdown.
I hope I didn't scare you.
That's just the way we are
When we come down.

We sweat, laugh and scream here,
Cuz life is just a dream here.
You know inside you
Feel right at home, here

Welcome to my breakdown.

Whoa, You're welcome to my nightmare,
Yeah, I think you're gonna like it,
I think you're gonna feel
That you belong,

We sweat, laugh and scream here,
Cuz life is just a dream here.
You know inside you feel
Right at home here,
Welcome to my nightmare.

Welcome to my breakdown. Yeah
