I was 14 when this song came out. I met my high school sweetheart that year... we married when i was 15... one of the songs that remind us of each other back in the day....he just sent it to me...."a jam to stimulate your spirit." He said He's been gone all day picking our daughter up from the airport..im home sicky... still married all these years later 🥰 a good jam indeed
In 1989, I was a 19 year old man, when I heard this on Radio, here in Melbourne, Australia. I bought the album straight away at a music shop. All these years later as a middle age man, this song is just as great now as it was back then ✔️👍✔️👍✔️
@@Robyn-r9s To be honest, I haven't listened to it properly since about 1990/91, however, it was more true Goth music, whereas "So Alive" was reputed to more for Commercial Radio at the time. Nevertheless, still very good.
@@patriciamontenegro7867 It was, and still is, the type of song that's more so easy to listen to as well as easy to dance to. Best rest assured, this one will remain one of those all time great songs.
It's 1989, Kim is a bartender with long chestnut colored hair, long legs, tan and perfect from head to toe. Thanks for making me feel alive and the best summertime memories ever! I still haven't figured out why you turned your Angel Eyes my way but I'm sure glad you did!!
I don't know how I missed this song back in the day. Luckily for me, I have an awesome radio station that plays awesome music from that absolutely fantastic Era, which is where I heard this from. I'm 65 years old and am STILL listening to the music from back then, and I doubt that will ever change. Everybody should be as lucky as to be born during that time! This group has a very different and distinctive sound, and has now earned a new fan! This song makes ME feel so alive! I just wish I would have found them sooner!!
The summer of 1989 was kind of epic for me musically- not only did Love and Rockets get a Top 3 smash hit on the American charts but there was Depeche Mode’s 101 live album and film as well - my top 2 favorite bands of all time. I saw Love and Rockets in concert that summer with front row seats (with The Pixies as the opener!) and even met Kevin Haskins earlier that day, before he did an interview for MusiquePlus (Quebec's version of MTV) and was bowled over by what a complete sweetheart he was. When Peter Murphy came though town on his solo tour later that year (with Nine Inch Nails as the opener!) , I also met Peter and he was as kind as you could imagine someone being. A year later I was graduating from high school and skipped prom because I had sold-out-in-15-minutes third row seats for Depeche Mode on the World Violation tour (with Nitzer Ebb as the opener!) and ended up meeting Martin Gore, Alan Wilder and Andy Fletcher after the show outside of their hotel. They were about to go clubbing and Martin invited me along. I ended up dancing with Martin and Alan and even played a round of pool with Fletch! It was such a magical time in my life, full of promise and possibility.
@SparkJoy I spent about two hours talking to Kevin Haskins backstage after a Peter Murphy show in 2000. He played drums for PM on that tour. I had the same experience, he was super cool and what started as a music conversation just kept going until I had to leave - at the time, I was helping run the video feeds at House of Blues in Las Vegas. Funny thing...I discovered Bauhaus in Spring of 1983 when I was in 10th grade. Then I went to London on a school trip and it happened to be the week they played their final show, but I had no clue about it. I found out years later that I was there but missed it. He thought that was funny!
@@chrisyost5949 I know! And I've seen them both this past spring/summer! I saw Love and Rockets at the Cruel World festival in Pasadena in May and almost passed out from sheer happiness and giddiness! Saw DM in April and I'm going to see DM again when they return to North America in November. This year has been nuts when it comes to shows! Not only DM and L&R, but The Cure and Grace Jones as well!
I am 50 and was a teen when this song came out. Always loved this band. My mom (RIP) was watching this video with me once, and said, "Mija, those girls legs are too skinny! Are they sick?"🤣
Goth and goth adjacent people and some other alternative subcultures are immune to changing body fashions it seems, from Lord Byron having possibly the earliest documented eating disorder in a male to the modern indie rockers and goths refusing to jump on the big bum trend and pro-ultra processed food industry propaganda that demonises any attempt to eat less and therefore buy less, and pathologises having any standards about what is food and what is merely a harmful calorific substance akin to alcohol being mismarketed as food. We all seem to be born wanting to look like Jack Skellington and The Corpse Bride characters, maybe unconsiously to signify a rejection of the irresponsible environmental destruction via overconsumption and over-farming of mainstream society. Or just to look more like the dead cos the dead are mysterious and cool.
Probably more underrated than Peter Murphy's solo career, but Daniel's style so gothic and atmospheric catched another type of audience.... very artistic!!!
@@jennyboomboom7368 Indeed , so " magic " that when I 1st listened to these projects in the 80s/90s as a late teen I had all but contempt for both parties .
I certainly chose wrong in the divorce. It was years before I recognized where the magic of Bauhaus had come from. Peter's voice is, of course, legendary, and he's a skilled songwriter. But Daniel Ash and David Jay had the magic touch. I can't think of any Peter Murphy songs that still sound as perfect and timeless as songs like this, No New Tale To Tell, Haunted as the Minutes Drag. That said, Murphy's real genius has always been on stage. If he's up there, you don't look anywhere else. Sorry Daniel.
When this album came out I was playing the cassette in the car with my mother one afternoon. She hated it and screamed at me to take it out. When I stopped playing the cassette, So Alive just happened to be playing on the radio station at that moment. She said, “See, now THIS is good music.” 😐
Never heard them 1st time around, caught just a passing moment on some post and Inatantly - they're continuing Marc Bolan & T Rex! Couldn't believe it. Nice sound. 👍🎶👍
I would love to see them again in AR with Janes Addiction but Im broke 😢 I saw them back in the 80s with Gene Loves Jezebel in NYC. What a Amazing time it was. Living in NYC from 86 - 90 was a Awesome time for seeing some Great Bands. I would go to The Ritz all the time because I would win tickets from the Radio Station. I miss those days but Im so Psyched to see Love and Rockets are still Rockin! ❤
I was surprised to learn this song only reached #79 in the British charts, but got to #3 in the US. Usually British bands are more popular in their home country!
This song was ALWAYS playing on the jukebox at the E-club at San Onofre, Camp Pendleton. That was back in November, 1989. Rumor has it, it's still playing. -_-
the last 10 or so bars of this song add yet another layer of depth to an already incredible work of art. nothing like pop and music video direction of the 80s, inimitable.
I remember hearing this as a middle school kid during summer vacation in 89. As soon as I heard it I was mesmerized and quickly popped an audio cassette in my one speaker radio/tape recorder and kept playing it constantly that entire summer. Still remember sitting on the floor in my room in the summer heat with just a fan listening to Casey Kasem hosting America’s top 40. Ahh youth!
Unfortunately age must be affecting your memory. Casey Kasem stopped hosting America's Top 40 in 1988. If you were listening to America's Top 40 in the summer of 1989, it was Shadow Stevens who was hosting it, not Casey. Nonetheless, the summer of '89 was such a magical summer for me. Definitely in my top 3 of all time. So many great songs and movies, while I was vacationing in Salt Lake City that summer.
I saw love and Rockets in the early 1990's in Waterloo, On Canada. These guys really know how to perform on stage as artists. Boy, it was one of the loudest concerts I have ever been to!
I heard this in my cousin's auto repair shop when I was 17-almost-18, so late 2008. We were working on my dead car all through the night, living on coffee and cigarettes. Id never heard it before, but as soon as the outro began with that little lick, my car fired up. So that's my "So Alive" story. 😁
This song came on earlier today as I was shopping at the Thrift Store. It brought back many great memories of the 80's, I had to look it up on RUclips and put it on my playlists! It's a great song. With great lyrics and great memories of the 80's.
So excited I get to see Daniel Ash and these guys perform live in London in August 2022!! (as Bauhaus with Peter Murphy). Bauhaus still out there musically kicking ass and owning the stage. 💜. Love and Rockets forever, Bauhaus forever. X
I don't know what color your eyes are, baby But your hair is long and brown Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long And you don't come from this town My head is full of magic, baby And I can't share this with you Feel I'm on a cross again lately But there's nothing to do with you I'm alive Huh, huh, so alive I'm alive Huh, huh, so alive Your strut makes me crazy Makes me see you more clearly Oh, baby, now I can see you Wish I could stop, switch off the clock Make it all happen for you I'm alive Huh, huh, so alive I'm alive Huh, huh, so alive I don't know what color your eyes are, baby But your hair is long and brown Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long And you don't come from this town My head is full of magic, baby And I can't share this with you I feel I'm on top again, baby That's got everything to do with you I'm alive Huh, huh, so alive I'm alive Huh, huh, so alive
This song is so seductive and sexy!! I remember when this was released!! It’s kinda like there “POP SONG” as love and rockets delve into darker stuff!!
I heard this at the Eagle Bar in Silverlake this past Sunday. It was dead and I didn't get lucky. But after hearing this, I guess I did. Forever a favorite song, now!
I was addicted to this song back in senior high. I played it over and over again. Even now when I hear it I can see why it spent such a long time on the Billboard Top 40. Something very erotic and haunting about the rhythm and the beat.
When this song came out you had to suffer with a song fragment stuck in your head, not being able to figure out what song it is for days or weeks. Today "I'm alive" was stuck in my head and i found this video in a couple minutes of Google/Reddit. Technology.. ❤
Wake up early, turn in MTV classic and this is just starting. I had completely forgot about this song. By the time it’s over it’s already downloaded to my phone and here I am.

Id never heard it before, but as soon as the outro began with that little lick, my car fired up. So that's my "So Alive" story. 😁
It;s the song you wait an eternity for.
TMI .. my best song to strip to in the old days! :D
Same here.He loved it......and she did too.
I need to see a woman strip to this song! That would be such an experience!!!!
Real Music! 🎶, Real Singer's, Real Musician's!
This song came on earlier today as I was shopping at the Thrift Store. It brought back many great memories of the 80's, I had to look it up on RUclips and put it on my playlists!
It's a great song. With great lyrics and great memories of the 80's.
So excited I get to see Daniel Ash and these guys perform live in London in August 2022!! (as Bauhaus with Peter Murphy). Bauhaus still out there musically kicking ass and owning the stage. 💜. Love and Rockets forever, Bauhaus forever. X
How was it!?
This song…freaking electrifying…I’m in love
Cruised the street with my date of the week to this and we drove down to the lake for a lil love. Miss those days, good lord, I'm old...lol
I don't know what color your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long
And you don't come from this town
My head is full of magic, baby
And I can't share this with you
Feel I'm on a cross again lately
But there's nothing to do with you
I'm alive
Huh, huh, so alive
I'm alive
Huh, huh, so alive
Your strut makes me crazy
Makes me see you more clearly
Oh, baby, now I can see you
Wish I could stop, switch off the clock
Make it all happen for you
I'm alive
Huh, huh, so alive
I'm alive
Huh, huh, so alive
I don't know what color your eyes are, baby
But your hair is long and brown
Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long
And you don't come from this town
My head is full of magic, baby
And I can't share this with you
I feel I'm on top again, baby
That's got everything to do with you
I'm alive
Huh, huh, so alive
I'm alive
Huh, huh, so alive
Thank you!!!
This song is so seductive and sexy!! I remember when this was released!! It’s kinda like there “POP SONG” as love and rockets delve into darker stuff!!

A buddy said my music sounded like this band, so here I am to check it out! I can see it actually quite a bit!
This was a huge song.
Love that delicious bass line, background vocals (Re: Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side") & Daniel's hair! 🖤
I heard this at the Eagle Bar in Silverlake this past Sunday. It was dead and I didn't get lucky. But after hearing this, I guess I did. Forever a favorite song, now!
The great background singers make this song awesome.
I was a senior in High School when this song came out. I immediately bought the CD. Played this song on repeat. Such great memories!!!
you know I am only 35 and I love this song. Music from the 80's is the best. Better than the stuff on the radio today in 2020. Sorry to say
Only 35? That’s middle aged idiot
Lmao I’m 14 and I agree

Good writtens
I'm Still Kicking in this Crazy Pandemic "I'm Alive" Thank You Jesus"
Magic and music came together as one in the 80s
This beat is addictive
Yep. And very sexual..
My ears relapsed. .lol
@@JRStephens5005 Especially when the goddess of love VENUS DE MILO is around so lust and rapture and SO ALIVE
I was addicted to this song back in senior high. I played it over and over again. Even now when I hear it I can see why it spent such a long time on the Billboard Top 40. Something very erotic and haunting about the rhythm and the beat.
Southern California Desert Jams...❤
The entire album is really fantastic.
A roller skating gem!
When this song came out you had to suffer with a song fragment stuck in your head, not being able to figure out what song it is for days or weeks. Today "I'm alive" was stuck in my head and i found this video in a couple minutes of Google/Reddit. Technology.. ❤
It’s 2024 and we are still many light years away of obtaining androgyny like the lead singer.
Great Song, Amazing Voice
I hadnt Heard This Tune since radio airplay, came Here By Curiouslty & Its Now a saver! An Inspiration for life, song....................
Immortal Band...
COOL 😎🎉 COOL😎 COOL😎 . My updated opinion will never change 👍😎
Wake up early, turn in MTV classic and this is just starting. I had completely forgot about this song. By the time it’s over it’s already downloaded to my phone and here I am.
I am going to be so pathetic, someday, when I am in the nursing home, listening to this song over and over.....
Believe me you won`t be the only one. Hope they group you and I together.........
you are sick.
Janice Sunseri lmfao. first comment, can't stop laughing. 😂😄
Janice Sunseri lol
Same here. Eighties music full blast from my room
Driving a 2021 Mustang with 460 Ponies under the hood, and this was playing on Sirius. Played it LOUD. So Trippy.
