Who's listening to this in 2023?
I think ludovico technique gets some of their vocal influence from this.
Not sure how this song got stuck in my head tonight. I haven't heard it for a very long time.
Me and loving it madly still
People with taste in music
Me!!!
Everyone on the planet needs music like this in their lives. Absolute late 80s alternative masterpiece.
Bauhaus-> Tones on Tail-> Love and Rockets... a wonderful evolution. I miss 1989.
someone knows..
One of my favorite years 😁
Don't forget that while Tones On Tail was starting, Peter joined with Mick Karn to create Dalis Car.
Probably more underrated than Peter Murphy's solo career, but Daniel's style so gothic and atmospheric catched another type of audience.... very artistic!!!
Bauhaus was magical
@@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.
@@jennyboomboom7368 i couldn't agree more!! ❤
Thanks for giving props to PM solo - so good.
The coolest and most forgotten band of the 80s.
Not forgotten. Charlie Sheen is forgotten. Love and Rockets is not forgotten while I draw breath.
Agreed😊
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 ✔️👍✔️👍✔️
What's the rest of the album like?
I was 22 years old in 1989, and I also loved this song, I remember dancing to it without fatigue.
I was in 5th grade and my classmates all listened to Poison and Warrant, God help me.
@@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.
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.
Both bands are on tour now
@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!
@@fairdose were you able to see Sisters of Mercy ?
@@chrisyost5949 Unfortunately no
Love this song from 1989. Takes me back to my High school senior year. Long live the 80s. Miss those days. Simpler times.
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?"🤣
😂
52 here and remember like it was yesterday. May your Mother rest in eternal peace.
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.”
😐
what was the cassette you were playing?
Funny
😁😁😁
where r u MIA LALA now
Ha ha - that is classic!!
This is amazingly crisp production, even in 2023.
I turn 64 this year and absolutely love this and if it doesn’t get you moving you need a rocket under you. Cheers from Australia.👍🇦🇺
I was 14, now 45...31 years after l listened to this song again...
Same
@@CrazyAZ1975 same lol 💜
Love it, to me what makes this song is him breathing....👍
I'm with ya man. ot was the top 100 year end MTV countdown in 88 I saw this the first time.
@@edwardpena9131 technially that's what makes every song....
When I was very young I remember this coming on the radio and my mom turning it up saying... I love this song! I still love it almost 30 years later!
Same here
That was one of THE best songs of 1987!! I remember it well!!
I remember this song playing a lot on the radio. Every time I hear it it makes me think of sixth grade and my teachers. I was 12 years old at the time
Samsies
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. -_-
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
That's lovely
Married at 15??!?
@@ryangossett8211
Kentucky.
Married at 15, what state?
Thank you, 80's still live.
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!
"and their little dog, named Snuggles"
Scott Briggs uh??🤔
Mike Valdez See: Negativeland song with Casey Kasem bloopers.
Good times but it was no fun unless you had the ladies enjoying the music with you to
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.
Sonido perfecto unico y clasico eso le convierte en una leyenda una epoca un tiempo inigualable y se llama 80's. Lo mejor que le paso al planeta
Heard this in a Goodwill a few weeks ago and it’s been living in my head constantly since then. In that moment, I was in 1989. There’s something about this song that’s so hypnotizing.
:/ it sounds like a stripper song. Bc u never know who ure unintentionally inspiring. But it also has sin city vibes. Throwing darts in the dark. Or im just projecting. All this bouncing around for yrs, & :/ any new... place im in, I still apparently must still feel like the new girl. Sometimes. It makes sense to me, ok
Goodwill has good music.
Who's listening to this in 2024 ? !!!
Over here 👋👋 just as sexy now as it was then 😊😊
I still am

@@shelseamoen227 You have excellent taste in music
This song was so incredibly special when it came out I could never understand why. I'm 54. I get it now. I'm in tears of how great this is.
Wait till you're 74 and feel that way!!
58
And I know how great it used to be ✌️
I'm 55, I remember when it came out too!:)
I never understood why it wasn't a huge hit - I'm 60, coming up fast on 61 and remember seeing Rockets many times back in the '80's
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!
Hey that's the town I grew up in!
I just turned 3 and I love and appreciate this kind of music!
A masterpiece..Daniel's amazing vocals!! no one can do it greater like he does...
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
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!?
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!
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!!
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'm waiting the whole song for that part!
Love that delicious bass line, background vocals (Re: Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side") & Daniel's hair! 🖤
My God!! I haven't heard this song in years. I STILL Love it!!
I sing this to my mug of coffee every morning...
D-bag comment.
2024 and I'm still listening,
Music is what I am going to miss the most when the world turns to crap, rock on,im alive,huh huh,so alive
They passed this song on the radio today in 2022!
I felt in my teen year in the 80's / 90's right away.
Was in a good vibe the whole day!
Whoever mixed this is a Genius .. “Love it”!!!
Most underrated song of 1989
Agreed....so much junk back then but this is the bright star...
It's a great tune. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
Yes! This and When In Rome’s “The Promise”
This song charted very high though.
Really? It was #3 on Billboard, not that bad IMO
I haven't heard this song in 34yrs.
Wow! 😂
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 UA-cam and put it on my playlists!
It's a great song. With great lyrics and great memories of the 80's.
Oh god I’m old🤣🙈Blast from the past!30 odd yrs later and I still remember the lyrics! So forgot about them...
Im gonna blast this song when the corona virus s#*t ends
dario HC me to !
BRILLIANT !
Go ahead and blast it now. Maybe it will help to kill the Coronavirus.
When it ends?
Blasting it now
Miss the 80 s yet kids ??
RandyM856 I miss the 80s every single minute of every long day of my aged useless old man life.
If by kids, you mean Gen-Xers, then I can answer: Yes- all the time. It's a good thing Numbers here in Houston keeps it real with underground 80s most Fridays. This song did get mainstream airplay back in the day, but radio was better then, as were most things.
MAN, you only miss 2018!!
C Cato And now?
Love it!!!
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.
My Lady and I enjoy these tunes 2024 and probably always will.!.!
This beat is addictive
Yep. And very sexual..
My ears relapsed. .lol

Same here.He loved it......and she did too.
This is one of those that needs like an 8 hour youtube version
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 love this song! And I'm 77! Far out ❤🎉😂
I love this song I feel so much more alive happier and content now that I'm in full-blown recovery love and life and enjoying it to the fullest so alive
Ayyyy I’m in recovery too and this song makes me feel the same way😅
You can do it. You're a winner. It's not easy but you can do this.
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. 😁
One of the best songs EVER.
A roller skating gem!
People throw out the most underrated tags out there but this one definitely needs to be put high in that category of why isn't this bigger? SERIOUSLY
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

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

i am so in love with daniel ash oh my gosh we are so lucky to be living in a time where he is out there living and breathing
Great beat and stood out for 1989 back when things were So Alive!
Such a brilliant time in music
I always liked the shot at around 3:40
It adds to the song that Ash looks just slightly... desperate.
SO cute
Leeeeeeeev
right and the chords get a lower and melancholy - love the track
From the comment sections I've found him in, Lev's got good fuckin' taste in music.
This song reminds me the time i went to Penobscot Job Corps at Bangor Maine in 1989 hanging out with my friends and one became my brother in-law...greatest memory 😊
Que buen track!!!!. Una joya!!!!. Desde 1989 hasta la actualidad,excelente!!!
Driving a 2021 Mustang with 460 Ponies under the hood, and this was playing on Sirius. Played it LOUD. So Trippy.
Debuted on my weekly personal music charts in June 10, 1989 edition :)
Great Song, Amazing Voice
I went to the CRUEL WORLD festival at the rose bowl in Pasadena, CA. They were ON POINT, as if time had not passed!! I’ll never forget it! 💞🌎💞🔥🙏🏼✨
We were there too - we were blown away at how good they were :)
I was there too! We flew in from Montreal for the show specifically to see L&R. I actually got emotional when they played certain songs including this one.
37 years later and I'm still "ALIVE UH-HUH SO ALIVE,I'M ALIVE UH-HUH SO ALIVE"!!!⏳️
Who else is here because they heard this song in the supermarket today?
I refused to finish my shopping until the song ended.
Pretty rad ass supermarket
My wife heard this song at Trader Joe's and said little old ladies were dancing to it next to the fresh produce!
I was security for this band when they played at my college in 1992
This should definitely be on every Halloween dance party play list.
Agreed.
YES!!
And “Mexican Radio” by the Wall of Voodoo” !
Classic 🤘
This song still rocks in 2023
Wow love being alive
A very sensuous song, makes me stop in my tracks where ever I am.
Great track!One of my favorite bands, l can never get enough of The Love and Rockets!!!
