I'm Alive
drums - Brad Davis
guitars, bass, keyboards, voices - todd

Much like the first song this was an effort to channel what was happening into something positive and reaffirming. It is also the last of the songs on which Brad Davis played. I wanted to make sure that I used him for the songs that I felt the most about and I'm very happy with the results. Now I just need to find a real bass player, and maybe a keyboard player, and for the love of all that is worth listening to I need to find a singer... or finally spend some real money and time and take some lessons for a while... or find a real singer.

Oh, and this track also has my homage to King's X in the outro groove on a drop C tuned bass. Interesting side note, it was just after recording the lead guitar track for the outro that a knock on the door proved to be a cop telling me i was too loud. Neat. Of course it was 6p on a Friday night, but I was a little loud...

lyrics

There have been good times
In my life
Moments of gladness
When all things were right

It's easy to lose
Sight of the way
Each of us must choose
How to live everyday
But I know, but I know

I'm alive

There will be bad times
Struggles ahead
hardships and sadness
Keep me in bed

I try to embrace
All the good things
Be happy and thankful
For what the day brings
But I know, but I know...
