A world of my own/ Very good advice

As many of my friends would know, I'm currently slightly obsessed with the cover artist Tanner Patrick. But I promise it's not completely shallow (mind you, he is absolutely stunning), because he has an incredible voice. I happened to discover him when Adele's song 'When we were young' came out and I was listening to it on youtube, because at that stage, I didn't have the album (which my old flatmate gave me for Christmas). I listened to his version of the song, and I was like "WOW! This guy can sing!" It's my favourite song on Adele's new album, but I have to admit, I really love how Tanner Patrick sings it. 

But today I'm not going to talk about 'When we were young' because everyone knows (or should know) this song (it's brilliant if you haven't heard it), so instead I'm going to introduce Tanner Patrick's cover of a mash up of two songs from the Disney adaptation of 'Alice in Wonderland.' 
I've mentioned before my love for 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' in last weeks music post and I thought "why not keep the theme running two weeks in a row?" 

I feel like Alice most of the time (not having a clue what's going on, going along with it, not listening to other people, just doing my own thing and stumbling into weird and whacky situations, etc.), so it makes perfect sense why I love these Lewis Carroll stories. My favourite poem has always been the Jabberwocky, when I started school I was given my grandpa's copy of 'Alice in Wonderland', I grew up listening to the audiobook at night when I couldn't sleep. Even in the UK, I didn't realise until I got there, but Lewis Carroll's family home was in Guildford, and he wrote 'Through the Looking Glass' there and died there, and when I was decorating my room, I bought posters of the original sketches. So now, my mini crush is singing "In a world of my own/ Very good advice"... it's meant to be.
