Tom Waits is hard to cover, and this is a resounding success. Very nice.
Totally agree, Jeff. It's nearly impossible to cover Tom Waits but this is amazing. Thanks, Erin!
It's four in the morning, I had to find this girl singing this song. Thanks Petal. Stunning.
Who else is here, 4:30 in the morning, 2020, listening to this? Arithmetic, arithmetoc...
I'm right there man. But its 2021 now. January 2nd. Weird, I'm typing this as if I'm talking to the version of you from nine months ago. Like some sort of time travel. But in reality it's the same time for you as it is for me. Tom Waits music is fantastic! Even if someone else is singing and playing it. On occasion.
My mind is blown.
I am barely holding back tears, here.
We are playing Alice in Wonderland in my Theatre group right now and I am supposed to sing this song between two scenes. This version here made it so much easier for me to interpret this difficult song!
So thank you for that! It's really beautiful!
most deeply felt and sung version of this song I've everheard. thank you. you are in my heart. thanks
Very nice!
E - Did I really have to wait 9 years to hear this? "... skating on your name. And by tracing it twice. I fell through the ice." I don't remember hearing that part of the song before. Thanks.
A lovely, thoughtful cover of a great great song! Thanks for sharing!
Saved my life too.
Tom Waits isn’t boring, Alice.

This is off of my favorite winter albums. My power went out for 3 days once, and all I had was a candle, and a battery powered record player, and a copy of alice. Try it sometime!

really disturbing song but you nailed it, great job!
Wow! Love it! Any chance I could get my fingers on those chords you used?
You sing beautifully.
along an icy pond, with the frozen moon
One of my fav TW songs - a sublime rendition. You feel it the way I do. If only I had the vocal capacity...
i like this
i hope you're doing ok. Beautiful version
Yes...
It's dreamy weather
We're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
With a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette
Crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass
On the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of
Is Alice
Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up
Around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift
And I'm lost
Over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift
And I'm lost
Over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice
gotdamn that was great
Nice,,
Замечательно
Wow your really good. You should add cc with lyrics (like subtitles)
Please....anyone? I need to sing and play this noww.
+Phillip Hatcher i suggest taking the recording to a guitar forum or something where there is people likely to be able to help.
This song deserves better than Little Match Girl pretending she's got the blues.
Any idea of the chords she is playing?
I've got Am to B7....and that's it. lol
Some other chords involved i think any idea?
When I'm older I'll be you.
Difficult, isn't it, to make sense of (why) a Waits cover, and particularly this song... which usually isn't covered well? But it's a version that has feeling, perhaps missing the lyricism of the vocals in the interpretation of the video. A mistake, but most people would feel they could do better and get it wrong too. Hugely like this version
Needs a saxophone, but otherwise awesome ;)
Just hope that’s not the Talahachi bridge she`s standing on.......different bridge, different song, similar ambience.
all the shadows & mystery in Tom Waits' voice are gone, so , what that cover for ? if you can't add a single thing to the original version, just stay home . ( Melody Gardot said that, & that's a true thing.)
excellent ;elle l´a chante même mieux que Tom Waits!
After listening to this, I couldn't listen to the original. Tom Waits' voice is too low for this song
Corny
Glad you liked it!
