Steemit Open Mic Week 75 - Acoustic Remake of King Diamond's "Welcome Home"

in #openmic6 years ago (edited)

Greetings Fellow Steemians!

I have been feeling extra metallic lately and so in that vein I've decided to remake a classic King Diamond song from his concept album "Them". I am actually considering doing the whole album over the next few weeks on open mic on my acoustic since it tells a story.

lyrics:
Grandma' welcome home
You have
Been gone for far too long
Is this a dream, are You really back?
Let me help You out of the chair
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel
Grandma' take a look
What do You think of the house and
The silvery moon?
We are going to repaint the front door
Soon
Let me help You out of the chair
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel
Wait till You see Your room up in the
Attic
Prepared just like You said, without a
Bed
You will find Your rocking chair and
The tea pot that Missy found
Let me help You out of the chair
Grandma'
There is someone waiting for You,
Now come along
Missy and Mother, they are dying to
Meet You
How strange, she's spoken no word
I wonder Grandma!
Are You all right?
Grandma' what was it like to be on
That holiday site
"Oh it could have been worse but
With "them" by my side
In the twilight "they" sang all the old
Lullabies"
Grandma' who are "they"
"Never mind You dirty little brat"
"Let us go inside, something's on
"Their" mind
"They" are still alive, can You feel
"Their" eyes
Can You feel "their" eyes?
Now that You are stuck with me You
Better be my friend.
Songwriters: Kim Bendix Petersen A.K.A King Diamond

For those who do not know, the album "Them" tells a story supposedly of an actual house called the House of Amon. In this story King injects himself as the little boy in the story who came under the influence of his wicked grandmother who communed with "Them". In this song, grandma just got home from the asylum.
