五月二日，美国著名的创作型女歌手朱维尔将要发行她的第六张录音室专辑《Goodbye Alice in Wonderland》，本张由罗伯·卡瓦罗(Rob Cavallo)担任制作人的专辑将通过Atlantic公司发行。专辑中的首支单曲《Again and Again》将从二月底开始在美国电台中播放。

　　谈到新专辑，Jewel说道：“这是我在1995年的首张专辑《Pieces of You》之后发行的最为“自传式”的专辑，而我也花了很多时间了来安排每首歌曲的顺序。每首歌都跟上一首紧密连接，就像一篇小说一样，有故事的开端，发展和结局。”

　　在1月25日，Jewel歌迷俱乐部的会员就可以率先看到专辑中的同名单曲《Goodbye Alice in Wonderland》的音乐录影带，而在五天之后，所有歌迷就都可以在Jewel的个人网站上观看这支音乐录音带了。本支音乐录影带由科特·马科思(Kurt Markus)指导，在Jewel拉斯维加斯的牧场中拍摄完成。

　　在《Goodbye Alice in Wonderland》之前，Jewel到目前为止最新的录音室专辑是2003年发行的《0304》，发行首周在Billboard 200专辑榜中排在第二位。据Nielsen SoundScan统计，《0304》至今共销售75万6千张。KFC MAN/文

Verse 1:
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 headlines
I've made a living with a song
Just a guitar as my companion
Wanting desperately to belong

Fame is filled with spoiled children
They grow fat on fantasy
I guess that's why I'm leaving
I crave reality

Chorus 1:
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 searching
For what was missing in my life


Verse 2:
I'm embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
You did not

Yes a heart can hallucinate
If it's completely starved for love
Can even make monsters seem like
Angels from above

You forged my love like a weapon
And turned it against me like a knife
You broke my last heartstring
But you opened up my eyes

Chorus 2:
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 wanting
what was missing in my life


Bridge:
Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to lifePretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie
Forgetting what you are
Seeing for what you've been told
And growing up is not the 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

Verse 3:
Well, truth is stranger than fiction
And this is my chance to get it right
Life is much better without all of your pretty lies


Chorus 3:
So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
You can keep your yellow brick road
Cause there is a difference between dreaming and pretending
That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting
It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wishing
That you were what was missing from my life
