I just got detoxed and rehab for alcohol. I was on the brink of death. I was drunk for 14 years. I am now clean-13 days, and never felt better. I am in tears. Thanks TT!
Good for you Tom. I drank for 16 years, been sober for 18 years 4 months 12 days. It gets better each day. I had to get rid of almost everyone around me who i thought were friends. God bless you!
as someone clean from meth for well over 18 years i want to say keep pushing, it gets easier just get rid of anyone that you were around and its a cake walk. I hope you are doing well and still pushing forward

What a sweet thing to say.🙏🥰🌹 I left that toxic relationship. I’m beating depression and I’m 5 years sober today. My gift to my Dad on his birthday today. He’s in heaven celebrating with me. ❤️
Buried my cousin, who was like a brother to me, today. He was killed by someone he trusted when his back was turned. And I had to hear this song just to be grateful I'm alive. Thanks Travis keep singing, you are helping us.
Hey Lupe I'm sorry for your loss and hopefully this song by Travis Tritt will bring you happy and bittersweet memories of your cousin as you're getting past the tragic loss and hopefully in time you can again think it's great to be alive each morning that You wake up 😊😅😮😢😂❤😊❤😊
I listen to this song many mornings to pick me up. Been through a lot. CML leukemia, heart attack with stents, stroke and a Tia they then gave me a pacemaker. This all started at age 44. So I have to stay strong for my wife, kids 11 grandchildren, and my 88 year old Mom. So songs like this and prayers help me get the days started. Am 60 now and doing well. So I am thankful. ;)
It's become a habit to listen to this regularly. It reminds me to be grateful, and as Cicero put it "gratitude is the noblest of all virtues and the parent of all others."
Anyone who has gone throughout anything hard in life, this is what will get you beyond that hardship. You're not perfect, but you're doing alright, and that's all God asks of you. Chin up.
It's ALWAYS A GREAT DAY To Be ALIVE ALWAYS! IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT DAY For This GOOD COUNTRY SONG TOO. WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY SONG EVERY SINGLE DAY ALWAYS. I LOVE THIS GOOD COUNTRY SONG EVERY DAY ALWAYS! Very Good Country Song. 👍🙂
@@marlindailey5306 Glad your still here!!! I LOVE TRAVIS!!!!!! HE'S ONE OF THE BEST!! My favorite song from him is "I'm Gonna Be Somebody". What's yours???
In 2015 this sung stopped me doing something to myself after things got hard . It gave me hope there's day light and sun shine even on my darkest days thank you Travis for this song and hope
I was born in Texas in the 90s. My parents divorced and a lot was going on and I was 10 and I remember feeling that I’d never be happy again. A year later I randomly heard this song again. And it just somehow hit me and I started crying bc I finally felt hope and happiness
I don't know, that's always a good question. I think henunderstands his talents because he has fought hard with "the industry" over the years. Something driving that recognition has got to be that the fans and the music are more important than money. It's a rare talent that someone can be on stage with just a guitar and their voice and give people chills..
His smile and reaction to the crowd makes him so beloved. There are very few stars I care anything about. Even some that I like their music. But I love Travis Tritt. He's just different, in a great kind of way. He is genuine. Most are only there for the money and fame.

I do not know country music at all. I heard this song what…. 2 decades ago and I thought it was awesome, the lyrics resonated within me in a strong way. Even more now than back then. Thank you, Mr.Tritt.
I've never understood why Travis isn't a bigger star. He's extremely talented & true country. Always dug this song, but last month I nearly died in a rollover accident. Now everyday is a blessing, a gift, and a great day to be alive! Thank you Travis Tritt !!!
This is my favorite song by Travis tritt. It's a great day to be alive,the sun is still shining when I close my eyes . I believe that music is the best medicine and I want to sing along 🎤
hey travis....its been years....but, when my dad died, i heard this song on the radio...(it's a great day to be alive )....... well,,,in some way,...not sure why....but, it helped me cope...... again, not sure how....but it helped....and i just want to thank you...
Here it is 2024 and this song and Travis continues to be amazing!!! Not many times can you break down crying and standing up and singing at the top of your lungs in joy!!! it’s a Great Day To Be Alive!!!😊
This was my cousins favorite song….. he was 18 when he passed away after a heart and double lung transplant….. if this could be his favorite song then i have no room to complain about anything. He thought every day was a great day to be alive. What an inspiration. ♥️💔😇
The day this song came out. I had lost everything I thought I had. I sat in the church my parents were married in scared for what I was about to do . The preacher told me the church was closed I looked up and seen this hole with sunlight and white pigeons flying through it. I told him I don't want to stay anyway and to use that church money to fix the roof and those birds won't keep flying in. He just looked at me. I drove down the river road for one last goodbye and wilfm92 played this new song from Travis tritt. It had been awhile. But as I hit the river road that song had me break down and bawl my eyes out. I was saved from myself that day. I started my life over and 20+ years later I'm fighting for my life again and starting over again just with two loving daughters I'm trying to live for. So Travis if you read this thank you for you vocals and playing abilities and crank out another my friend. Cause it's a great day to be alive.
Facing 2 kinds of Cancer. This song helps me every daughter met him at a high school dance. I fell in love with his music and attitude. Bless you Travis.
@travistritt You were part of me discovering Country while growing up in a small town in Massachusetts. Going to try to see you in ATL this fall, never stray from your beliefs. Love what you did for Jason Aldean, I was a fan, but now I'm an even bigger one. See you this fall!!! Much love, do what you do and never back down.
Travis has a great voice no doubt, and his one of the best performers alive today! Much respect for this band too, and the backing vocals are stellar; definitely the icing on the cake !!!

I love this song..It helps me when I'm feeling down and going through a lot of problems and painful memories. I have it as my ringtone..That's how much I love it!!😁
Amen, brother. It's a good day to be alive. Even if some days are difficult. We'll help others to know: with no drugs or drink, and maybe long in the tooth, but we're good (even if we might howl at the moon now and then).
This song helped me get through the difficult times after my wife left me and became a drug addict. Things do get better though. It truly is a great day to be alive! Live long and prosper.🖖

I recall first hearing this song whilst driving to work on the I480 in Cleveland OH in 2001 just before 9/11 (I was on a business visit from South Africa). This song stuck with me ever since!
This song is a work of genius! The bridge which is sombre and slightly sad appears half way through the song (not the last part of the song as most songs do).. this then leaves the rest of the song to be positive!
What a great song! I had never really paid much attention to Travis Tritt before today and now I’m a fan. I heard him tell the story about how this song was written during an interview on Louder With Crowder and it was maybe the best interview I’ve ever seen or heard. I knew I would be a fan even before I listened to this song because I like what it’s about. I like Travis Tritt as a person. I like his attitude and what he had to say about life and about this song. It was written by a guy who was in intense pain and laying flat on his back on the floor. He opened his eyes and saw a ray of sunshine coming through the window and started thinking about how great it was to be alive even though he was in such agony. The attitude of thankfulness and hope resonates with me. Maybe I’ll start doing what he says other people do. Listen to this song as soon as I wake up just to put me in the right frame of mind for the day ahead.
Hey Vlad, Travis has that effect. I played his tunes every morning thru a long period of time when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.... Listening to him made me pull myself up by the boot straps... 🙂❤️ I'm still kickin' ...
@@dianecampbell9228 Thanks Diane. I’m glad you’re still kickin’. I’ve dealt with a lot of pain and still deal with chronic pain every day. It’s good to be reminded of the things that make life worth living even though it’s not always easy. I had to re-read my own comment to see what I had said that made it sound like I thought Travis Tritt had written that song. I would have edited it if I thought it was misleading but I don’t think it was. LZA could have mentioned that Daryll Scott wrote the song without calling me or Travis Tritt a liar. He could have answered me and clarified what he thought couldn’t be true. I could have respected him giving more information about the song and the man who wrote it but he chose to do a hit and run instead. I really can’t respect that. I stand by what I said and I appreciate your comments. Thanks again. Jeff
@@vladtheimpala5532 hey Jeff, I'm in the same boat with chronic pain, it sux! But yep, I think UA-cam is going the way of Twitter, it's a cesspool. 😎Got thrown off Facebook 3x & twits 4 x. 🤣 Lmao! I'm on Gettr now, much more pleasent. Do you know if the Daryll Scott that worte the song is the same Darryl Scott on "Real America's voice" on the weekend? Funny as hell! 💕🇺🇸❤️
I just got detoxed and rehab for alcohol. I was on the brink of death. I was drunk for 14 years. I am now clean-13 days, and never felt better. I am in tears. Thanks TT!

Its been 8 months since you posted this, I hope that you are still keeping clean and living your best life!!:)
as someone clean from meth for well over 18 years i want to say keep pushing, it gets easier just get rid of anyone that you were around and its a cake walk. I hope you are doing well and still pushing forward
Hellz yeah brother!
YOU ARE AMAZING!
Released nearly 20 years ago but still sounds better than today's country.
DAMN RIGHT
Got that right. I grew up with this legend. Makes me think back to when life was less stressful and everything was ok with the world
It's going to be a sad day when we lose this outlaw
💯💯 couldn’t agree more! Loved this when it first came out and more today!!
Hard fact! Thank you! ❤️💙
After everything I've been through, everyday God lets me wake up, it's a great day!

Positive energy and thoughts. Idk what to say but keep going. I hate life but being dead would be so boring. Find something or coach a team.
This song helped me out so much through rehab and now that that battle is over, it really is a great day to be alive.
Go on man you need to enjoy a lot more good days hope you re fine now
Helping me through the loss of a friend who was my boss when I discovered this song.

Travis Tritt, one of the most underrated yet legendary country singers there were.
I agree, saw him in lorain,ohio last year. Without his band all acoustic

Going to see Travis for the first time tonight!

I remember the alcohol and drug addiction fog lifting and feeling pure joy at that moment. The road isn't always easy though
yes indeed!I am still alive and Thank you.
Does this man even realize how beloved he is? Seen him live several times. I love every song he ever wrote or sung

I had to re-read my own comment to see what I had said that made it sound like I thought Travis Tritt had written that song. I would have edited it if I thought it was misleading but I don’t think it was.
LZA could have mentioned that Daryll Scott wrote the song without calling me or Travis Tritt a liar. He could have answered me and clarified what he thought couldn’t be true. I could have respected him giving more information about the song and the man who wrote it but he chose to do a hit and run instead. I really can’t respect that.
I stand by what I said and I appreciate your comments. Thanks again.
Jeff
