Jewel - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland

Amy MacDonald ist seit einem Jahr wohl fast jedem bekannt (Mr. Rock & Roll, This is the Life). Allerdings gibt es bereits viel länger eine sehr ähnliche Sängerin und Gitarrenspielerin: Jewel. Ihr bekanntestes Lied dürfte Intuition sein. Ich hab letzthin eine Doppel-DVD mit zwei Konzerten von ihr in die Hand bekommen. Nachdem ich seit einem halben Jahr ja sehr gitarrenaffin bin, hat mir das natürlich sehr gut gefallen. Ein Lied von ihr, dass ich bis dato noch nicht kannte, ist Goodbye Alice in Wonderland. Im zweiten Konzert spielt sie es nicht mit Band sondern mit einem Orchester, und das klingt so richtig gut. Nachdem Jewel im Gegensatz zu vielen ihrer anderen Lieder hier "nur" Akkorde spielt, ist das sogar etwas für mich. Nur B-Moll muss ich noch lernen, das ist ein Barré-Griff, die kann ich nicht nicht. Das lässt sich mit einem Capo aber reparieren. Muss ich nur noch besorgen und mir von Heather zeigen lassen, wie das genau funktioniert
.It's four in the afternoon
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
Trying to think about my life
My youth scattered along the highway
Hotel rooms and headlights
I've made a living with a song
Guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to belong
Fame is filled with spoiled children
We grow fat on fantasy
I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
I did not find paradise
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting
What's been missing in my life
I'm embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
But I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
But you did not
Yes a heart can hallucinate
If it's completely starved for love
It can even turn monsters into
Angels from above
You forged my love just like a weapon
And you turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
You opened up my eyes
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching
What was missing in my life
Growing up is not an absence of dreaming
It's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold
And the ones that you've been sold
And Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life
But pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
Forgetting what you are
Seeing for what you've been told
Ohh truth is stranger than fiction
This is my chance to get it right
And life is much better without all of those pretty lies
Ohh So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
And you can keep your yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
These are not tears in my eyes
They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
They are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding
I found what's missing in my life
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.
Trying to think about my life
My youth scattered along the highway

I've made a living with a song
