Welcome to the Room...Sara: Discussion

[On Ice]

I always thought of Welcome to the Room...Sara as more of a parody song than anything profound or listenable. To take the name from one of her most beautifully written songs and attach it to a phrase is a big no no for a prolific writer. Add to that the lines from Blue Lamp, a song that was just 6 years old at the time, it was not a good throw back. No amount of production savvy could save this piece of dreck. After making it through the song though, we long time Nicks fans upon first spin of Tango in the Night, were in for something worse, much worse from her. The album was a cap off to a stunning fall from beauty and great music. As an alternate, she had much better material including Running Through the Garden which would've been a better choice, with a Seven Wonders type vocal (although not great by any means, at least salvageable) and fit better flow wise. Welcome to the Room...Sara is a terrible song and absolutely destroys her reputation, although buried in a decent album, it kind of gets skipped over and forgotten.
