I also found out about Her Name Is Alice whilst I was listening to The Sound Of Madness album. It was one of the last songs on the album that I heard, and I listen to it a lot from now on.
Whilst I was still doing my IT project in early January 2015, I started doing bits in my lunchtimes and breaks. However, I didn't have enough time to listen to full Shinedown albums like I did when I was there for hours after school. Instead, I would just listen to a couple of songs from the end of the albums, and Her Name Is Alice was often where I would start from The Sound Of Madness, which would be followed by Diamond Eyes, and then Breaking Inside.
I've seen that this song is also on the Almost Alice album, which I know that my friend Sam really likes. I haven't listened to the full album, but I'm hoping to do soon. I really like the lyrics to Her Name Is Alice because they really tie in with the film, and I just think that the whole song was really well written!
The chords to Her Name Is Alice don't seem too complicated, so if I tried hard enough, I'm pretty sure that I could do it. Also don't forget that you can read some of my older posts from earlier this year!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Her Name Is Alice below incase you're interested!
("If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense")
("Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't")
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning for you
This kingdom
Good riddance
Her freedom
And innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning
("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")
("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")
She's unlocked the meaning for you
("And contrariwise, what it is it wouldn't be")
("And what it wouldn't be it would")
("You see?")
("Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't")
