5 years sober from heroin. Today I am employed and insured. This song makes me grateful I changed my life around before it was too late, and gives me hope for those that haven't chosen the same path yet. I have 8 friends/loved ones that I was on a day to day speaking basis for a while at one point in my life with, that have died from drugs.
gz, sober from heroin and cocain for 20 years, just because i did'nt have a chance to buy it...still in the addiction (pyschologic), it's ruining my life (the desire to "feel" something") Congrats to u
I may not know you, but I'm proud of your continuous victory over addiction. I hope you always know that someone believes you deserve freedom from it. Be safe and take care
you are amazing its hard to get clean for this amount of time
💖💖💖
You are a survivor!! You’re telling your story, unlike so many of those who’ve lost their battle with addiction. You got this🙌🏽
After being attacked at 19. A emotionally and verbal abusive marriage of 30 years, surviving breast cancer, 2 fractured vertebrae and losing my life savings. I'm still Alive because of you Eddie and Pearl Jam. Thankyou 🖐💗🇦🇺
Bless your heart Jennifer, you keep moving forward lady! Keep that chin up!
@@tabbymoonshine5986 thankyou 💖 I will do just that, but some days well. We will forget about them 😶
@@jenniferjackson7364 you got this! One day at a time babe ✨
Your a hero Jenny !
Awe sounds tough I bet you have ptsd too right? Quit you’re crying, you’re not dying. I’m assuming you’ve never watched a friend get shot in the eye or get his leg blown up? So quit whining.
The irony that Eddie is the only grunge singer from the big five that is still alive
Guess momma kept him alive.
What about .......
@@shawnmack11 it was grandma sending a lot of jam
it's not a song it's a prayer
courtney love too
What a great song for anyone who has gone through bad times but came out smiling.
Jap.
It's not a happy song and it's a true story that Eddie was not told who his real Father was until after he was dead and he has to live with that trauma.
Amen

@@annalisavajda252 wow I've listened to this song hundreds of times over the last 25yrs and never once heard that lyric until now lol unreal
I used to know a guy in college who was a huge Pearl Jam fan. We used to have a lot of petty arguments and banter as I was really into Nirvana. We became quite close and had a lot fun times together. Eventually drifted apart due to various reasons. A few years after we graduated, he killed himself. He had so much to live for and yet one night decided to end it all, for reasons only known to him.
I have never been a Pearl Jam fan but I come back to this one every now and then to keep my memory of him alive. It was one of his favourites - along with Rearview Mirror. I hope he's found peace.
😥
Your still alive
💔
❣️❤️💕💖
Stay Strong
March Forward Head High
His demons are no longer tormenting him, he found his peace.
😔
Remember the good memories and stay strong!
All the good people need help some get it some dont . May your friend rest in peace.
I'm a African American female who still say that the 1990's decade was the last of the best as far as music is concerned. I enjoyed these cats back then in the 90's and at 60 something today, I am still rocking with these guys today.
Music has no color in my household as long as it sounds good!
Well said lady ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
I'm a 29 year old white guy and I appreciate you! Unity! 😁
Have you listened to Boney M? try them...
I'm there with you too. Best underrated group 🤗
@@alecleo3434 Thank you Sweetheart!
Kurt is gone. Layne is gone. Scott is gone. Now Chris is gone. But Eddie is still alive.
The best pearl Jam!!
I'm thankful that he is!
You just made me cry a little...

Turned 51 this year and never thought I'd make it here especially doing the most amount of damage to myself with drugs and drink but had a accident in 2003 that changed my life. At least when my folks passed away i had been clean for years and was the son i should of been. I'll never regret changing . Be strong and safe all . Never give up ever. Live life

Thank you!❤
Thank you for sharing your experience strength and hope.
Can you imagine a radio station in 1991 ?
Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice in Chains, Guns´n Roses, Metallica...
i cant bro!
Yeah,i lived it
Many rock stations still play all these songs. After all these years
@@jposensei Yep, but with new songs?
Good times! Grunge was making music about how the world is shit and it sucks but you weren't alone, you could relate to the music
Just lost my dad today at the age of 55, this was his favourite since I was a little kid. I will keep you alive!
Rest in power dad! I’m gonna miss you
edit: We played it at his funeral..
4:00 till 4:55 played while they caried him outside. felt like it was his last air guitar solo..
never gonna forget that
Terribly sad, my condolences. He had a great taste in music, that's for sure.
@@DavySuicide thank you so much
Sorry for your loss
I'm truly sorry for your loss, yes keep him alive and he had great taste in music. Great song! ❤️

Ugh I feel old…
Rock on!!!! 🤘🏽😎
Damn that MAKES me old... 😟
BUT, 🎶 I'm still alive...🎶
and surely it'll always sound amazing!!
This song, and Eddie, changed my life. I am forever grateful for Pearl Jam. I was a lost teen when this came out and it gave me the fuel to persevere. I'm still here when I had just about given up. Thank you guys. Still haven't seen you live, but that's okay. You saved me decades ago. Forever grateful.
Celebrated 5 years of sobriety back in September. Addiction led me down a dark road. Issues with family,work, friends,money, and homelessness. I took a huge leap of faith and asked for help. Now I'm sober,madly in love, have had stable housing, etc. It's been tough,but i wouldn't change a thing. Now I love me again and I can look myself in the mirror and smile.
Good luck on your continued sobriety.
@brianaugello3724 thank you very much. It means more than you know ❤️
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support 🌺You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
Awesome!!!! 😊
It's not a song, it's an anthem for all 90s kids.
couldn't agree more
+Thamires Malheiros Guimarães its my anthem and I was born in 2001. To be honest it's really helped me get through my freshman year of high school, because I started getting in to grunge music at the end of 8th grade and I'm so glad I did because life hit me like a train and music is such a staple for me now.
+Thamires Malheiros Guimarães
fuck yes!
+Thamires Malheiros Guimarães or the cool kids in the 21s centery who still like this kind of music ( Im one of them)
Yes because nothing says the anthem of a generation like a song about incest and molestation right?
Eddie Vedder's all we got left of 90s Grunge. We gotta protect him!!
When this song came out, I was going through a difficult time coming to terms with having an physically, mentally and emotionally abusive father, and a mother that did not show much love and affection. I remember listening to this over and over again with my headphones on full volume, and it was the first song ever in my life that I felt so connected to. I guess you can put your own interpretation to it! Possibly the most emotionally intense song ever and the guitar at the end is unbelievably intense. Thank god for music!
Mat hope you are in a better place now. I hope you know God loves you so and he loves you to the ultimate even if your parents showed no love. GOd bless and all the best.
💙💙💙
I hope you are better bloke.
Perfeito!👏
Can truly relate - same here, dysfucktional family's abuse on almost all levels.... still recovering... then my best friend committed suicide (she too from a dysfunctional family) --- yes, the raw realistic emoting from this song speaks volumes for me.
Eddie Vedder man. What a voice. What a performer. What a handsome stud. If only I could have truly experienced the 90’s as a teenager or in my 20’s.
I was a little late for this era- born in '82. There was some incredible music throughout the 90s,but most of it came in the first half.
Eddie got up on stage with my band in 95 and did two songs with us. We spoke afterwards. He was a very kind generous soul. The crowd went absolutely nuts on Maui that night. The 90s were awesome. We played Why Go Home and Glorified G. Just awesome.
I was born in ‘71. You’re right. The soundtrack to my late teens, early 20’s had incredible power and emotion. You never stumble upon the music these days, you have to go looking for it, but when you do there is a flood of emotions; all the drinking, smoking, surfing, fucking and fighting. And memories of those who are no longer here to reminisce.
@@sallyjoyce8690 yeah I’m jealous man lol
It was great times music and cars were the best the clothes a bit naff though😂
Since this song came out. I listen to it every birthday to make sure I'm still alive. Hell 65 and still rock-in
Keep on rocking my man! 💪❤️
@@derdrittepenner where are you
Rock on Bill. This keeps you young.
Get it Grandpa 😮💨🤟🏼✨
Happy birthday
I miss this type of music..
*I'm Playing This On My Birthday Today To Give A Sign To Everyone That I'm Still Alive :)*
Happy belated birthday 🎉
This songs hits different when you realize that Eddie is the only lead singer of the big 4 of grunge that is still alive.
@Process Damaged haha
The Big 4 of Grunge?
@@bobfg3130 pearl jam, aic, nirvana, soundgarden
@@bobfg3130 yeah just like there's a big four of thrash metal there's a big four of grunge Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and lastly but not least Pearl Jam.
What about STP?
This takes me back to my school days in 1992. Without a doubt, one of the best rock songs ever made. A true masterpiece.
Made it through my addiction to heroin/alcohol/cocaine. I love that everyone is posting their stories like this! Feels good. Power to the people. People need to understand each other a little more. It's harder to hate when you understand
Keep it going on the straight and narrow rock on x
NO one deseves any hate just because being addicted to anything......escape in whatever form you´ll find it, heartbreaking but OH so true...
I don't know you but I am so fucking proud of you ♡
hope you're better now :)
🙏🏾
I'm still alive after having a brain tumor (not kidding) 🤘
Well done
Hell yeah brother, stay on staying alive
Me too.
Me too.
You have my utmost respect for surviving that
After the losses of all the great grunge frontmen (Andrew, Kurt, Layne, Scott, Chris), please don't leave us Eddie. I hope you live a long life and make the most of what you can, while you can.
AMEN TO THAT!! LONG LIVE EDDIE VEDDER AND PEARL JAM!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Holy shit,cool.
Adding Mark Lanegan to that list and an honorable mention for Dolores O'Riordan no longer being here (Zombie counts as grunge in my mind)
@@300ZXNA of course!! 😊💓🤘✌️RIP Mark Lanegan and Dolores

greatest pearl jam song ever! absolutely fucking poetry and besides Alice in chains, pearl jam is the best grunge band of all time. hands down. eddie vedder was so gorgeous in this video
I just started getting into Pearl Jam. Could you tell me which songs by them are your favorites? :)

Vedder has the best vocals I have ever heard 🤘🏻
If I could choose only 1 song to listen to the rest of my life, this is it. This carried me through some tough times in the 90s and I am still here. Absolutely my favorite song! Thank you guys!
Standing head up high, smile on your face and prepared to listen, learn and mentor. Proud of you, fellow American.
I want this song played at my funeral
“IM STILL ALIVE”
😂😂😂
Thats kinda f up😂
Lmaoo
Ironic
Lol I was just watching Eastbound and Down Shane Dog funeral scene...that was so fucked up when Kenny Powers plays and starts singing along to this song...that's the very LAST song a grieving family would want to hear LMFAO!
The first time I heard this song, is when I finally felt as if I’d found an identity. Music is powerful and stays with you forever.
This track is actually based around Vedder learning as a teenager that the man he thought was his father was actually his stepfather, and that his biological father was dead. “He’s still dealing with love, he’s still dealing with the death of his father. All he knows is ‘I’m still alive’ … That’s totally out of burden,” Vedder once explained to Rolling Stone.
I never knew who my Father was. Nor will I ever. But this song carries me through some rough ones. Thank you Eddie and the Jam. You all are unique, talents with soul shine. God bless.
After long cancer threatment, cemos and surgeries, im still alive
That's awesome. So glad you survived
God Bless You! Have a Great Life!
Thank you for your good wishies 🌺🌷
Cheers!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Eddie Vedder's handsomeness pls
yes! Man was very hot with an open soul
+Junielle Brown he's still attractive now tbh ;)

"Alive"
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him
but I'm glad we talked
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
These lyrics are dark as hell dude, what the fuck.
I see a lot of ppl post these lyrics, the line "cept the look, the look" is incorrect.. he says "cept blood, blood oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare"
💕💕💞💞💞 obrigada
@@XxBlackPathxX Nah it's definitely the look.
"This verse is fictional and not based on Vedder’s personal experience. In a 1993 interview with Rolling Stone, Vedder revealed that she refers to the mother, and the look is not the look on the mother’s face. As Vedder put it:
The look is between her legs. Where do you go with that? That’s where you came from."
The mother is making a very memorable come on to the son. It is not every day a mother shows her son that look. Further, she is requesting that he penetrate the very birth canal that gave him life.
Vedder elaborates:
It’s an intense thing because the son looks just like the father. The son grows up to be the father, the person that she lost. His father’s dead, and now this confusion, his mother, his love, how does he love her, how does she love him? In fact, the mother, even though she marries somebody else, there’s no one she’s ever loved more than the father. You know how it is, first loves and stuff. And the guy dies. How could you ever get him back? But the son. He looks exactly like him. It’s uncanny. So she wants him. The son is oblivious to it all. He doesn’t know what the fuck is going on. He’s still dealing, he’s still growing up. He’s still dealing with love, he’s still dealing with the death of his father. All he knows is ‘I’m still alive’ - those three words, that’s totally out of burden." "
After being treated like shit and pushed around my whole life this song hits the spot
Thank God you're still alive! Only Eddie Vedder is left. We must protect him at all cost! RIP Chris Cornell
Maria Pratiwi i
their music will always be still be alive!
Maria Pratiwi RIP Kurt Cobain
eddie is the main singer? sry i dont know
Is the rest of the band dead????
This song , this band , its still fresh and alive for along time to come.
In about two months, the 90s will be "thirty years ago"
Ima start listening to this daily as a reminder.
Kurt is gone. Layne is gone. Scott is gone. Now Chris is gone. But Eddie is still alive.
It’s already thirty years ago
It's also 21 years ago and everything in between
Shit 😥
This is why Budhism feels right for me. Nobody is *gone* because they were here. Theyre still here. I'm still here but dead at the same time. It's a beautiful mindset... 😁❤😁
Thanks for making me feel old lol but I'm glad I had the opportunity to hear the big four (plus stp) make and put out good music it just sucks that grunge was an "era" thing . Edit: I wish grunge was still around
The Best grunge band ever...
This song still hits you straight to your heart and to your soul with those amazing lyrics makes you feeling alive...!!!!!!!
Yeah yah fucking right..!!!
I've discovered pearl jam today and this song hits me In a way that is hard to express, I attempted to take my life not to long ago and this song took me back to that vary moment and brought tears to my eyes thank the gods I didn't take my life that night, I'm still alive
I'm glad you decided to stick around. 🙂

I'm doing the same thing as well
@@Mickey_Silverthanked goodness your still alive, I definitely feel you been there done that! Pearl Jam has saved my life a few times and still to this day!! 😊💓🤘✌️
A great time to be alive!!! This song is about when Eddie was told that the man he'd believed to be his father was in fact not. 1991 was an awesome year!!!!
I just found that out because I am watching the documentary Always thought it was now i know
1991 was still a great year.....
That's your opinion,dude!! I loved Pearl Jam & listened to it then. It was awesome......
Yup. Read Five Against One.
Well not for eddie...
When you realize the frontmen of Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Temple of the Dog, Mother Love Bone, Gruntruck, Velvet Revolver, Mad Season, Blind Melon, Screaming Trees, Audioslave, & Linkin Park are all deceased…. But Eddie Vedder is still alive 🙏🏾
(I am aware some of these groups had the same frontman)
And that's just the singers. There were so many other musicians who died, but aren't talked about as much because they weren't the frontmen. Van Conner from Screaming Trees, for example, died 2 days ago.

That was both really good and really bad.

lmao
I’m still sad about Chris
This song helps me trough some nasty shit at the moment. I lost my best girlfriend, she’s not dead, but she has become someone that I can’t recognize anymore. She has really hurt me, more than anyone ever before and now this song helps me to feel alive again. Thank you Eddie, thank you Pearl Jam. May Rock bless you all
So sorry, she will regret losing you though.
One year on, I hope you are still being strong out there.
The guitar solo is absolutely amazing.
The drumming during that solo was fire too
Look up comfortably numb live in Pompeii, it’s the most beautiful solo of all time
For me, it is one of the most underrated solos of all time. It's absolutely amazing and when i listen it I become happy and energic. Mike mccready is my favourite guitarrist
Thank Ace Frehley from Kiss! Look it up. The song She.
Leo Hodapp and he took it from Robbie Krieger-Five to One...I’ve read that story
I’m going through some really dark and depressed times now and songs like this really make me feel at least a bit more alive
EDIT: I’m editing this 7 months later just to tell you that my dark days are over now. We should never underestimate the power of vitamins, healthy sleeping schedule and saying goodbye to toxic people, haha
I came back to this song today because somebody commented it and I got a notification. I just listened to this masterpiece once again, being in a totally different state of mind, and... I’m going to the music store to buy a guitar. That’s it.
Just keep fighting, you all. And let’s thank the music that keeps us alive.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Keep up the fight there’s help where you need it! Music will fix you

I suffered a near fatal heart attack 2 years ago at the age of 39. I sing and listen to this when I think about what happened to me 😊 ❤
There seems to be some debate about the meaning of this song... The meaning of Alive, from Eddie Vedder:
" 'Alive' tells the story of a young man discovering that the man he thought was his father is actually his stepfather, while his mother's grief leads to an incestuous relationship with the son, who strongly resembles the biological father. " "Alive" has been revealed by Vedder to be part autobiographical and part fiction. When Vedder was a teenager, his mother revealed to him that the man he thought was his father was actually his stepfather, and that his biological father was dead. The first and last verses detail those actual events, but the second verse is storytelling on Vedder's part. The lyrics of the second verse read, "Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room/She said I'm ready...for you/I can't remember anything to this very day/'Cept the look, the look.../Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...," and Vedder revealed that "she" was the mother, and "the look" referred to was not the look on her face, but "the look is between her legs. Where do you go with that? That's where you came from." Rather than being the inspirational song most interpret it as, Vedder had quite a different meaning in mind, stating, "[He's] still dealing with love, [he's] still dealing with the death of [his] father. All [he] knows is 'I'm still alive'...that's totally out of burden." Vedder stated at Pearl Jam's 2006 VH1 Storytellers appearance that over the years the meaning has changed for him. He said, "In the original story, a teenager is being made aware of a shocking truth that leaves him plenty confused...It was a curse-'I'm still alive.'" The audience's response to the song is what has brought about the change in meaning for Vedder. He added, "They lifted the curse. The audience changed the meaning for me."So, yes, the song was about death and rape... There is another quote I can't find. One where Eddie talked about how the meaning has changed for him over the years. Instead of [I'm paraphrasing here] coming from a victim place, it's become, for some people, a survivor's anthem.
That's what this song has been to me - a survivor's anthem! And that's what music is - subjective to the listener!
Vedder says he had a trilogy in mind, never went thru with #2, #3, only ●Song l} Alive~1▪the father thing's true ( in reality, real Dad visited a few times. EV met him, @ the time was told it was a family friend) When he died (had MS) Mom told him truth 2▪ mom begins sexuality abusing boy ●Song ll} ??title?? 1▪Incestuous relationship causes mental/emotional instability in boy(duh! No shit! Lol) 2▪ As it continues boy becomes increasingly disturbed, begins fantasizing twisted, violent sex . 3▪Boy has psychotic break, commits matricide (murders mom) ● lll} ?title? 1▪ The boy tries to let past go, but fails. 2▪He becomes a sick & sadistic, extreemly violent serial killer. ( Matricide may be first part of song #3.) ■ Hell, I wish I'd never known a young, teen boy was talking about his Mom in 'Alive' lyrics! ■ EVs an artist. Its kinda interesting, wondering how/where he'd go with that plot. But, damn, it's pretty sick. Song was 1st inspired by the dad issue, I wonder how it evolved as it did into the mom thing. Pretty sick. Why did his mind go there to begin with? Shivers...
He does Strongly!! resemble his bio Father. Spitting image, Very rarely do you see a parent/child that alike. Had EV been older when bio dad visited he may have guessed, they look that much alike. PS Dad was hot. Duh, again.

Shane's Favorite song;)
Thank You God for saving me not only my life on many occasions but saving my soul that one time so I can live forever amen
Amen
I sing this song in my head, after a ridiculous shift at work. Love Eddie! So much emotion in every one of his songs and performances.
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.
My hobbies include watching Eddie Vedder put himself into a trance with his own beautiful voice. It's like watching someone speak in tongues...
❤❤❤
same!
@off spec it's what traditional chan Buddhist monks do in their mantras and chanting in my native mother country. Still 'religious bs' now?
saw them live in brisbane in the 90's...such an amazing performance
I hope you do other stuff too. To keep busy.
The last Day of 2020. Despite all the disasters happening in this year.
*IM STILL ALIVE*
Edit: Last Day of 2021. Despite all the joy and sorrow happened in this year

The 90s was the last era were musicians actually had talent. A shame really music is no longer this good...
We're about due for another musical revolution soon
They used live footage for this video from their concert at RKCNDY in Seattle, Washington on August 3, 1991
saveyouckufer who cares

Puppies care that's who
And this video happens to included little-known drummer Matt Chamberlain, who was with PJ for less than a month. This version of 'Alive' is the only official recording of Matt Chamberlain with PJ.
Ten has to be one of the best debut albums of all time.
"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you...
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
your real daddy was dyin'. Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked..."
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room.
She said "I'm ready...for you..."
"I can't remember anything of this very day,
'cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare..."
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...
"Is something wrong?" she said
Of course there is
"You're still alive," she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...?
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Thanks
Thanks I could never quite make out all the lyrics but thought it was about a young guy confronting stuff about his family past from his childhood and youth.
Wow you can google something how cool

This dude. His voice, his manurisms while singing, his LOVE for the music he's singing! Feeling! Breathing! Fucking god! Just let's it all come out so fucking good!!!!
Amen. God.
Quite agree
I'm not from the time of their peak, but after finding about them, I can't go back. This here is one of my favorite songs ever.
Keep coming back to this band, over and over, these guys just get me every time. They are the classic that never dies.
this song is so clean man idk and it is very interesting how most people see the lyrics in an uplifting way, especially the chorus, yet the real meaning is very dark. the lead singer obviously talked about how he felt the song was a curse and when he started seeing people jump around and singing the chorus almost like a celebration he felt that the curse was lifted. the song is about his own experience of finding out his 'father' was actually his stepfather and his real father had died. this to me is the beauty of a well written song: people can interpret it however they like and it even helps them get through rough stretches in life
Pearl Jam lyrics like this or Yellow Ledbetter are always so insanely deep that you have to read up on them to find out the whole story. That's what a good song is.
@@Black_Caucus 100% agree. same reason why i like ' one' from metallica
Since I've always had top marks at lyric's interpretation here's my take: Mother: "Your real daddy was dying _I never told you before because I don't care about you, but you have no right to complain, because_ you're still alive." Him: "Do I deserve to be? Is that the question? _at this point I really don't care whether I'm dead or alive._ who answers, who answers? _I don't know how to deal with it_ [then in an angry voice] I'm still alive _I know I'm going to carry this with me, but I will survive_
And let's be honest: Eddie Vedder himself should have realized that his angry 'I'm alive' made this a survivor anthem. I was worried about the physical abuse part though, that was back in 1992/93 when the story about the song wasn't yet out. But since Pearl Jam wrote a lot of songs about other people's stories I assumed this song was about someone else, turns out I was partly right.
This song resonates with me on a different level.. After dealing with Stockholm syndrome and an extremely abusive relationship with my children's mother and I'm a stronger man a stronger human in general. Anytime I feel down I play this song and cry and thank God,. Myself, and this song for getting me through and that I didn't take my own life because of her. Thank you pearl jam for this wonderful song!
Amen, God is good, Jesus saves
@@loveworksnoevil A good god wouldn't have let that happen in the first place. But pray on.
You'll be rewarded in the AfterLife, that's the promise from the True&Only God.
@@jefo2405 So your idea of a good God is making is robots.
@@loveworksnoevil his idea of a good god is one who does not allow the monstrosity that happens in our world to go on. Too much violence and rape of innocense. Look an abused, starving child in the face and tell them "God is good" 🙄 God is something to believe in when theres no answers to questions you fear.
My birthday was yesterday,and I'm still alive.
People have a high chance of dying on their birthdays
Glad you survived 🤣
Happy birthday for last week
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Gregory Hainsworth Happy late birthday. Congrats on still being alive I guess.
Happy Belated!
My Pop passed away December 1st of 2022. Listening to this in 2024 has a whole different meaning to me, now. It feels like I’m hearing my dad talking to me, telling me not to worry anymore, that he’s not in pain, and he’s saying “I’m still alive”.
Rest easy, Pops. I miss you every day.
My cousin made this his ringtone for his friend with cancer. When ever he called you heard the hook. Hes still alive👏
That's awesome. Glad he's still alive
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Eddie Vedder's handsomeness pls
Pearl jam. 2018.
Now this, this is my jam.
Hell yeah 🤘
My all time favorite song. It's tattooed on my leg.
Alive

Do you always steal other people's comments and post them as your own?
My nan used to tell me Eddie was her boyfriend when I was little and I used to believe it . we finally got tickets to go in June she passed away 2 weeks ago so I will go just with her spirit with me ❤️ ❤️
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support 🌺You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
Felt suicidal loads of times but "I OH I'M STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!"
I know what you mean.
This song just took on more meaning. Who would have thought after this song came out that in 2017 Eddie would be the only one "still alive'. RIP Chris, Scott, Layne and Kurt
Undeniably one of the most orgasmic musically voices about...Beautiful.
Talent, beauty and wisdom, all in one singer...
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support 🌺You have yourself a wonderful day ahead ❤️❤️🌺🌺🤘🏻
I dedicate this song to the U.S. Government
Made me LOL

José HierbasFrescas sorry I missed ya

Please, please, give me a time machine!
:(
+Koba please, please, that's enough.
+Koba why? this is still awesome in 2016!!!! one of the greatest song of all times!!!
My Way, metropolis, alive, die kleine kneipe ........ song i will never forget
+thechosenone82517
Meanwhile we had 25 years less, and sorry if it's little :-P
And those were the best years than current. Don't you think?
yesss i wish my teenage was in 80s-90s.. todays music sucks
Every time I hear this song it makes me emotional because his vocals the drums and the guitars just are great man
Real music, better days.
It's so average DUDE
One of the best voices out there
Indeed
Please keep this song's meaning relevant today, Eddie Vedder! With Chris Cornell dead by suicide, you're still the only grunge legend alive.
I do not believe Chris committed suicide
Hi, Is the original band still together or have some them moved on? I love the music but can't keep up with all the band members. I grew up on Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Eagles and Fleetwood Mac but absolutely loved the 80's hair bands
Got a call from work 10 years ago to go check on my dad who I last saw a few weeks prior on Christmas Day. This song came on as I drove to his house. Sadly he had passed. This song hits me so hard and means so much. My dad lives on in me, in his granddaughter and all those he touched. I used to go to his house as a teen and jam to grunge and lift weights because he let me be me. Vietnam Vet, buried in Arlington. RIP dad as I try to honor your by living.
one of my favorite songs to listen to
No
Alaniana stevens you are a kind of... comedian, isn't it ?
What Simon DH
What a lovely comment thread
Nobody:
The 0.01% of germs after using hand sanitizer:
Not bad!

Underated
I heard this on mtv 90s today and i almost cried.. hits harder because hes actually the only frontman alive out of the big 4 grunge bands
