“Alice” by Manchester, UK via Australia sibling-duo Lyon Apprentice (Adam and Nathan Lyons) is not ‘yet’ another song about a woman named Alice, but it is a tribute to Adam’s long time friend, whom he met while working as a physiologist  and who told him about her marriage and having lost her husband. The story in the lyrics is sad and hopeful at once, and the “I can’t ignore it” part is hypnotic and catchy. “Alice” is a beautifully dreamy synth-pop song, with minimalist arrangements and our Song Pick of the Day.
