God I was listening to this and I was like wait not there's only one rap verse in this wait--WAIT OH FUCK. Leo is my favorite character in YOI and to top off him representing America in the show, the fact that he was brown and he has a Spanish last name, and all the fucking time the characters that represent 'Americans' are blond and white it's just. Ridiculously important and great and the timing was important and then you put in that extra verse I just. God freaking damn. The last six lines are just. So fucking beautiful.
America is full of different types of people. I don't think it matters who you put under "American." They can be stereotypical looking or a diverse person but it doesn't actually matter. :)
Bill Cipher well it does matter. Cause "Americans" have always been show cased as a white person, not that it's a bad thing it's just diversity never gets a chance, some media aren't ever showing the "full of different types of people" that America has to offer.
A Mexican American skating to a Christian pop song in an anime that depict a healthy gay relationship, in an episode that was aired on the same day Trump was elected.
Japan took the most controversial topics of America and created something beautiful out of it… I wish that EVERY American could watch YOI and love it… But most of them/us are too caught up in reality shows, dramas, social media, work, school, etc. to even consider watching it. Much less the fact that it's *not American*, thus making it further less appealing to the majority of Americans…… I love YOI, Anime, and japan in general! Okay enough of my rant! Have a FABULOUS LIFE!!!!!!
3 years later and I'm still coming back to this because it's one of my all-time favourites. Your additions to this song just made it even more beautiful, relevant and relatable.
This is wow...I already loved the song Still Alive, it is definitely one of my favorites and so inspirational for me. But your extra rap made it better definitely. Thank you, I will definitely be listening to this one more now.
Hey Caleb, don't know if you'll ever see this... but my grandpa died today and I haven't stopped crying...I loved him more than everything... this cover of yours really helps me... thank you for this amazing cover and keep up the amazing work...
Oh Lord, why is this cover so beautiful? It's better than the original! I love the extra rap. "Practice what you preach"! Feels like you're directing that at someone xD Such shade.
The morning sun, or the moonless night I see the god inside them and I feel alright Oh lord, everything on the earth has music inside Hey, I can feel my heartbeats waving like the ocean We live in the circle of life we live… where would I go? what would I do? who would I be without the music? to live in a silent world…(No!) I refuse it! The truth is, I’m clueless without the beat to motivate my soul swerving around and loose control, driven to find the path to satisfaction (yup) filled with passion (yup) lord I’m asking for a direction I’m caught up and I’m lost all up in it’s beauty a world filled with music for you and me
It's too beautiful! Thank you very much for your amazing Yuri on ice cover! You make an incredible work everytime! If I can suggest an other one, could you do "a tale of a sleeping prince" pretty please? Even if a "Shall we skate?" cover will be great too :)
+i only made dis channel to comment i dont need no subs Are you aware that you have 90 subscribers? Are you aware that I'm also a subscriber? When you gonna post, dude? We all waitin'!!
Practice what you preach Preach what is true Truth is love Love starts with you This is so beautifully said, I can't even comprehend it. I kept rewatching that part of the video... just wow. What an amazing piece of art you've written in those four lines, Caleb. I want that on a t-shirt.
That original rap you added really was amazing and appropriate for the direction of our nations currently. So accurate, it made me tear up. Thank you so much Caleb, you're such an inspiration!
I finally found this. It kept popping up in my to watch lists, but when I would try to click on it, it would disappear. Your covers always give me goosebumps, and this one brought tears to my eyes, just like it did in YOI. Bravo Caleb Hyles, you are a gift.
I say this a lot and it's always true ~ Listening to your music - both covers and originals - really gets me through the rough spots in my life. Right now I have been listening to this song on repeat just to get through my work shifts. I'm genuinely unsure of how I'd have manage the last several days without it. I seem to always stumble (or restumble) upon the perfect songs of yours exactly when I need them. Between this song and your albums in my car -which I got at Tekko!! - for my drive to and from work, I feel this song's concept hit even closer to home. Your music makes my being Still Alive seem more okay than I would actually be without it. So thank you for being you, and for putting out some truly wonderful music. 💙💙
Caleb, thank you so much for doing this cover! Honestly this song made me smile so much because of the hardships I go through daily and your song really helped brighten my day.
I love this extended cover of "Still Alive!" What a beautiful message. And yes, the things I see on the news/in this current political climate in the US scare me too, which is all the more reason a song about unification, love and acceptance of all people is such a wonderful thing to hear right now. This is timely and meaningful, and as always, just beautifully performed. Thank you so much for your gorgeous covers and YOI love!
I am not so confident in English because I am Japanese.I think that this song is one of especially good songs among "Oh! Sketra !!! Yuri !!! On Ice". I think that it covered well. The songs are very good.
Aww man, that was awesome!!! :D Your extra rap lyrics are so perfect for this song! I can totally imagine this being the original version that Leo listened to and had to adjust for the FS.
I LOVE IT!!! And the creative take on adding lyrics was phenomenal. I really love that you are covering them all. I've listened to your making history cover like 20 times in a row
OMG ... Okay, it's 11h46 pm here in France, I've a big homework to do for tomorrow morning, I've just looked on my phone 2seconds and I've seen you published this fucking amazing video .... I don't want to work anymore and just listening to this again and again !! It was beautiful !! Will we have other songs from YOI? Like Stay Close To Me (even if it's in Italian), or Intoxicated ? Once more, your cover is amazing, you're amazing!! :D
Caleb you have to stop make me love you songs so much haha. I'm in love with the rap part and i think it was perfect 😍😍 Keep doing your amazing work!! ❤❤ DAVAI! (english is not my first language so ignore the mistakes :v)
OMG, I've been hoping you would cover Still Alive and not only did you cover it, you extended it and made it even better! I greatly look forward to your next one, I hope you cover all the songs. I've loved all your Yuri on Ice covers, but this is definitely my favourite so far.
I can't stop listen this, I love the extra rap lyrics, they are so beautiful/wonderful ("You're surrounded by the ones who couldn't do it without you/Practice what you preach/Preach what is true/Truth is love/Love starts with you"). It reflect all the hope, and all the love and supportive message of Yuri!!! on ice.
I LOVE THE FACT that you're giving attention to all the OTHER great songs in Yuri on ice. ^_^ and not just the iconic ones Thank you !! you're voice is amazing !
This is one of my favorite animes and one of my favorite songs. Whenever I hear this song on my walks I sing out to my hearts content and not having a care of the world. I love you Caleb Hyles
I just found found your channel, and I have to say, I love it so much. I listened to some of your Disney covers and then these YOI covers, and I am so happy with what I found.
you could sing anything from it and i would be estatic to listen! That said, i really love the part you added! I think this song was a really good fit for you and you did it justice!!
Omg I love all your Yoi Songs! Every single one is AMAZING! Actually they are the best :D Love how you put your personal charm in all of them! ..and making my Speedpaints beautiful ❤️
Beautiful.... Amazing...... So touching..... Love the added lyrics! I have already watched this five times and I still can't get over the breath taking job you did!
OMG!!!! YAY I love this song (and all of the YOI songs lyrics or no lyrics). now you must do 1 (or all of these) 3 songs. tales of a sleeping prince, serenade for two, shall we skate
Will you be able to sing 'Shall We Skate' another Yuri on ice ost, in the future? I'd love that!
Shall we skate, please.
Ty Ross it'd be great!! ♡♡♡
Ohh yess please do this suggestion Caleb! I'm loving all your covers so far
Ty Ross that's an amazing idea. I love that song.
Ty Ross AAAAAHHHHHHH YES PLS
"Practice what you preach
Preach what is true
Truth is love
Love starts with you"

Words to live by.
THAT EXTRA RAP THO I LOVE IT
toastislies IKR
When he started rapping I lost it, Amen.
BLESS
Your added lyrics are bomb!
+
I totally agree :)
-silent crying at the extra verse- -slow, steady clapping-
God I was listening to this and I was like wait not there's only one rap verse in this wait--WAIT OH FUCK.
Leo is my favorite character in YOI and to top off him representing America in the show, the fact that he was brown and he has a Spanish last name, and all the fucking time the characters that represent 'Americans' are blond and white it's just. Ridiculously important and great and the timing was important and then you put in that extra verse I just. God freaking damn.
The last six lines are just. So fucking beautiful.
Chachi Tchotchke Ikr I love that Yuri on Ice is breaking stereotypes with the different cultures they show.
Lisa T So... the fact that he was condemning liberal-led divisiveness was lost on you, then. I'm disappointed.
America is full of different types of people. I don't think it matters who you put under "American." They can be stereotypical looking or a diverse person but it doesn't actually matter. :)
Bill Cipher well it does matter. Cause "Americans" have always been show cased as a white person, not that it's a bad thing it's just diversity never gets a chance, some media aren't ever showing the "full of different types of people" that America has to offer.
Chachi Tchotchke Leo's a Mexican-american you see
*Unidentifiable sounds of happiness*

Whoa
Japan took the most controversial topics of America and created something beautiful out of it…
I wish that EVERY American could watch YOI and love it…
But most of them/us are too caught up in reality shows, dramas, social media, work, school, etc. to even consider watching it. Much less the fact that it's *not American*, thus making it further less appealing to the majority of Americans……
I love YOI, Anime, and japan in general! Okay enough of my rant! Have a FABULOUS LIFE!!!!!!
Not everyone who believe in god is a Christian.
Baibac exactly. The demons and Satan believe in God but they certainly aren’t Christian or anything of the like!
This story was so entertaining
3 years later and I'm still coming back to this because it's one of my all-time favourites. Your additions to this song just made it even more beautiful, relevant and relatable.
This is wow...I already loved the song Still Alive, it is definitely one of my favorites and so inspirational for me. But your extra rap made it better definitely. Thank you, I will definitely be listening to this one more now.
IM CRYING!!!!!!!
Rory Blue same
Hey Caleb, don't know if you'll ever see this... but my grandpa died today and I haven't stopped crying...I loved him more than everything... this cover of yours really helps me... thank you for this amazing cover and keep up the amazing work...

1:07 AWE YEAH! SPIT IT CALEB~!! :D

PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!
I'm totally for shall we skate !!!
I second this motion
Ysabella Wuthrich yes!
Here here! Ditto!
The extended rap is beautiful!! 😭😍 Practice what you preach. Preach what is true. Truth is love; love starts with you. ❤️❤️
The morning sun, or the moonless night
I see the god inside them and I feel alright
Oh lord, everything on the earth has music inside
Hey, I can feel my heartbeats waving like the ocean
We live in the circle of life
we live…
where would I go? what would I do?
who would I be without the music?
to live in a silent world…(No!) I refuse it!
The truth is, I’m clueless without the beat to motivate my soul
swerving around and loose control,
driven to find the path to satisfaction (yup)
filled with passion (yup) lord I’m asking for a direction
I’m caught up and I’m lost all up in it’s beauty
a world filled with music for you and me
his voice is just amazing!! 😍😍
It's too beautiful! Thank you very much for your amazing Yuri on ice cover! You make an incredible work everytime! If I can suggest an other one, could you do "a tale of a sleeping prince" pretty please? Even if a "Shall we skate?" cover will be great too :)
