Goodbye Alice in Wonderland is the fifth album by singer-songwriter Jewel, released in 2006 by Atlantic Records Group. The album marks a return to her musical roots after 0304, and trying to write an autobiographical album like she did with Pieces of You. The album was written in the form of a novel with each track representing a chapter. Although the first official single was "Again & Again", the title track "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" debuted a month earlier on her website as an Internet exclusive. The second single, "Good Day" was released to radio in late June 2006. The next single was "Stephenville, TX". A video for it can be seen on Yahoo! Launch.
The album made its debut at #8 on the Billboard 200, with sales of 82,000 copies its first week, and became Jewel's fifth top 10 album in the United States. However, after only 12 weeks the album slid out of the Billboard 200. The album reappeared one week later after heavy promotion on various talk shows. It has sold 377,000 copies in the U.S. as of June 2010. Jewel stated she had plans to re-release the album, but her record company would not let her. However, they did allow her to release two singles in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words goodbye and/or alice:
“The colicky baby who becomes calm, the quiet infant who throws temper tantrums at two, the wild child at four who becomes serious and studious at six all seem to surprise their parents. It is difficult to let go of one’s image of a child, say goodbye to the child a parent knows, and get accustomed to this slightly new child inhabiting the known child’s body.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Penny: Grandpa found the cutest place near where Alice is, right on the ocean.
Paul: Lake, Penny. Lake.
Penny: That’s what I said. Lake. We’re gonna invite you all up to go deep sea fishing.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
