" And not a minute too soon, if you ask us. Avril&amp;#039;s recorded it for the soundtrack to Tim Burton&amp;#039;s upcoming Alice In Wonderland flick, it&amp;#039;s called &amp;#039;Alice&amp;#039; - see what she did with the song title? - and it&amp;#039;s the first song she&amp;#039;s written entirely single-handed. Poor Dr. Luke, presumably, is still waiting by the phone. Anyway, a quick listen to the first 30 seconds or so will tell you this is no pop-punk stomper to rival &amp;#039;Girlfriend&amp;#039;. What it is, however, is a big angsty rock ballad that rumbles like a giant&amp;#039;s tummy towards the end of a 72-hour hunger strike. &amp;quot;I-I-I-I-I-I&amp;#039;ll get by,&amp;quot; Avril wails on the chorus, &amp;quot;I-I-I-I&amp;#039;ll survive while the world&amp;#039;s crashing down...&amp;quot; Meanwhile, producer Butch Walker cranks up the drama - not to mention the track&amp;#039;s cinematic feel - with lots of guitar, ghostly backing vocals and drums that sound a bit like a galloping horse. Our verdict? Well, it&amp;#039;s not the most instant Avril track, like, evah, but after three or four plays we&amp;#039;re pretty much convinced. If you haven&amp;#039;t heard it yet, &amp;#039;Alice&amp;#039; is easy to track down - in fact, it&amp;#039;s all over YouTube like a generously-budgeted viral campaign. What do you think of &amp;#039;Alice&amp;#039;? How does it compare to previous Avril Lavigne ballads? Use the space below to have your say. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
