Tom Waits is hard to cover, and this is a resounding success. Very nice.

[@magmawaves]

Totally agree, Jeff. It's nearly impossible to cover Tom Waits but this is amazing. Thanks, Erin!

[@tomsmyth1932]

It's four in the morning, I had to find this girl singing this song. Thanks Petal. Stunning.

[@ghatzidakis]

Who else is here, 4:30 in the morning, 2020, listening to this? Arithmetic, arithmetoc...

[@sinjinbaker6031]

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.

[@AngryNerdBird]

My mind is blown. I am barely holding back tears, here.

[@boomerkai]

most deeply felt and sung version of this song I've everheard. thank you. you are in my heart. thanks

[@m.k.s.p.7746]

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.

[@laurenmoore1374]

A lovely, thoughtful cover of a great great song! Thanks for sharing!

[@flori7557]

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!

[@KnittinPixie]

Saved my life too.

[@jockyfullofbourbon]

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!

[@himamagar3043]

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

[@Mark-kj1lf]

Sure hope she still performs!

[@pygmalion8952]

This song doesnt saved my life, this song is my life.

[@MrPhillster14]

Please....anyone? I need to sing and play this noww.

[@simonb4689]

+Phillip Hatcher i suggest taking the recording to a guitar forum or something where there is people likely to be able to help.

[@JesseLandau]

This song deserves better than Little Match Girl pretending she's got the blues.

[@MrPhillster14]

Any idea of the chords she is playing? I've got Am to B7....and that's it. lol

[@pygmalion8952]

Some other chords involved i think any idea?

[@diprao]

When I'm older I'll be you.

[@paulgoersdorf7152]

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

[@humancondition28]

Needs a saxophone, but otherwise awesome ;)

[@Stewie4321]

Just hope that’s not the Talahachi bridge she`s standing on.......different bridge, different song, similar ambience.

[@jaimecorvus6373]

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.)

[@318Ginseng]

excellent ;elle l´a chante même mieux que Tom Waits!

[@indigobetts5968]

After listening to this, I couldn't listen to the original. Tom Waits' voice is too low for this song

[@edimusrex]

Corny

[@anterosfilms]

Glad you liked it!
