Lyrics:
I have never been small
I have never been thin
I’m almost 6 feet tall
So tall I stretched my skin
I’ve got scars from blue to red
Permanent
Dyed my hair to feel
Relevant
Bruises round my eyes
Delicate
Soft on the inside
I’ve got stories I could tell
Are you listening?
Years I was unwell
Crippling
Now I’ve built this shell
Distancing
Myself from the outside…
[Chorus]
And I am alive…
X2
[Verse 2]
I have never been quiet
I have never been quaint
And I have failed at every diet
They’ll say it’s lack of self restraint
I’ve got stories I could tell
Are you listening?
Wounds that flair and swell
Conditioning
Vices that’s rebel
Imprisoning
Myself from the outside…
[Double Chorus]
And I am alive…
X4
And I'm grateful for it
[Final Verse]
I will always be loud
I have always been free
No matter what I will be proud
And I will always be me…

This isn't just a song about weight, it's also about how young women and girls are treated so often, from SA to abusive partners, family members, eating disorders and being bullied in general. It spans so many issues with its symbolism, and how to overcome low self-esteem and low self-worth. Thank you for this ❤
I needed this. Thank you 😊
Amen to that!

To me it's just about anything that makes you personally feel unworthy.
The way she looked at the camera when she sang "And I am alive" made me tear up. I felt so seen in that moment. Thank you.
I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAMER THING!!!!!!
Me too, i was crying.
I'm a man, 30 years old, 115 lbs.
This song is a HIT.
Its from the soul. Always hits harder
242lbs down in the pursuit of losing 340. Trying to pull myself out and live. This HITS. Bless❤❤❤
Well done ..be proud you're doing it for yourself..not for anyone else who's opinion quite frankly is just white noise 🎉
@@ritafitzgerald3290 amen🩵🩵🩵
That's wonderful! I only just started my weigth loss journey so I'm only 5lbs down. I hope I can have your dedication!
You go girl!!!!!❤❤❤
Ma'am, are you singing about me??? As a 5'11 plus size girl who suffered with Atrial Septal defect by birth till 12 years, got stretch marks all over my body, a open heart surgery scar and I still proudly say that I'M ALIVE! I MADE IT, MY LIFE. I was really touched by this song.
Same. I have MS and now I can't walk much. We are here ❤
❤
❤🤗Sorryfor your pain Happy for you still alive
@KM-tk2ih Thankyou 😭🩷
@KM-tk2ih For what? Chicken?
Wow...Message, strength, attitude, and a voice that drops me on my knees. My wife of 40 years struggled with weight her whole life. She is my world given to me by Christ Jesus above.
I must say the song is so powerful. I'm a dad of plus size daughters and I've seen them struggle through the years physically and emotionally. I've always been the best Cheerleader that possibility can be. I've had my girls come to me crying from bullying Weight shaming. But through the years, i've seen her strength the reserve They're now both confident. Beautiful strong women. That demand to be seen and heard. And I could not be more proud. Keep standing Strong
This is so beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing.
Same came on here fom facebook
This comment. Thank you. 🫶
You have no idea how much you being there mattered!! You are awesome! A girl learns from her father that she is worthy of unconditional love. Especially when she picks a partner.❤❤❤❤ Thank you for being one of the good ones.
Thanks dad 💜 you're part of the reason they are strong and confident and love themselves today. It's hard to be a kid, it's hard growing up, it's hard being a girl or young woman, even before any/all the other things added on top that Keep it up 💜
“I will always be loud. I have always been free. No matter what I will be proud. And I will always be me.” 🙌🏽
Who on here came from Instagram? Her voice sounds like New Orleans. Smoky. But the message? I hear you. My very SOUL needed this
Really does
I saw a small clip of the sing on Facebook and needed to hear the full version, so here I am, her voice is incredible and this song is 🔥
Meeee from insta to yt i was crying tho
Me too!!!
Same here❤
I lost it at “Im alive”
That’s right! Im alive. WE are alive!
Strong, smart, beautiful and full of life!
This song will change and save lives!
You're right. It has changed my life
I'm 6-1 280 pounds with lupus I feel this so much because of all the bulling I had to go through back then and now is so hard to lose weight harder then what people think
I agree!
A b s o l u t e ly - powerful
That's what I like about it.
I have lived this song for over 70 years. THANK YOU!!!!!
You ever wake up suddenly knowing EVERY reason you SHOULDN'T exist on this earth & just as the dread starts to overcome your soul once again & you know for the rest of the night you'll be pleading with yourself to see another day & instead you find this song... I can't tell you enough how much this is needed for so many people!! Please don't stop making music ♡
I feel this comment in my soul, I can relate so hard. Every day is a fight, but I have found reasons it's worth fighting for. I hope you do to. You might not know it, but someone out there loves your smile but too shy to tell you, and someone from your past thinks of you and the memory brings joy to their heart. I just know that there are people in the world who love you, and they are so grateful that you hold on. I'm so glad you're still here to find solace in beautiful music. Keep fighting, beautiful soul.
You are needed you are loved. Don't give up
Ahhh her nd teddy swims should team up. Ur voices would b epic together
I'm using this comment to look at every time I listen to this song.
No matter how much you gain, or how much you lose, you will always be you.
FUNNY, PATIENT, BEAUTIFUL, LOVED 💛 [270]
Looking directly at my soul when she looks at the camera, and I can’t look away.
Cried when you first released, sobbing through the entire song . You have made many feel seen and heard . Thank you!
Thank you so so much for this song! It took me 52 years to accept me the way I am. Hope that all who quarrel with themselves will learn to accept and love each other faster. But keep in mind, better late than never!
My Lord! This should be EVERY woman's anthem. No manner what size or what condition you are in today. Emotionally, mentally, or physically.
And mens
Exactly how I feel!
@@ysnmoneybandz6481 Glad you mentioned men.
@@ysnmoneybandz6481no, stop trying to be included in everything
Best comment! Yes!
The little girl in me is literally crying, bawling!! This song just healed me in ways I didn’t even know I needed healing in. I’ve always been big and tall & have always been made fun of for it. Always struggled with my confidence. Thank you for this song! Thank you for healing me✨
It’s like an anthem reclaiming the power that always belong to you. It’s beautiful ❤
That voice! That face! Wow, such a beautiful gift. And this song is 🔥🔥🔥. 👌👌👌
Ive always been a big girl myself, i cried so hard at the strength this song gave me back.
After seeing yet another doctor today telling me to lose weight when I've tried everything, came home feeling defeated, and saw this. Thank you! I need it. You're beautiful 💜
Totally relate. Have been treated terribly for things I could not control which have led so many stories I could tell.....but as of right now....I am just ......ALIVE.
Thank you for singing our song! The song of survivng women everywhere! 💙
Moving is not even the word to describe the pure joy I felt listening to this. The tears of pure pride. Yes ma'am... Hell YES!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? 💯 🥰😘 👂 ❤️
There are literally a thousand songs I would love to hear her sing. What an amazing voice!
She is fabulous…her voice is fabulous and this song is fabulous! Kudos to the writer, singer and guitarist!!
Your sound is exactly what we all need, strong and soft, free and vulnerable. Killer vocals, smooth mix. You nailed it.
Oh My!!! That VOICE!!Love it!! This song is fierce! She deserves fame she's fabulous!! Singing & writing all that talent in one person, hope she goes far!
Oh sweetie, trust me, from a very tiny person you arent missing anything. Ive struggled with the opposite issue for years. Due to health issues trying to gain weight. In the end none of that matters. You are amazing and you have the voice of an angel. How many people can say that? 🤗💞
Would say she'll be missing 20-30 years of her life span
@@wisdomfox857 Making anonymous petty comments with the deliberate intention of hurting someone is far more unhealthy. How horrible you must feel about yourself!
@@wisdomfox857 that’s a big overestimation but of course you don’t actually care about fat people, you just want to concern troll.
Full body chills!! This beautiful soul deserves ALL the love and praise she's getting!! 🙌🏻
This hit home and brought me to tears. Overweight from childhood and tallest in my class. Was told I talk too loud, I’m too annoying, I take up too much space. Took a lot to heal from years of that hatred. But baby I am alive and I am grateful!!! Thank you for this, beautiful woman ❤❤❤
Me too, same experience. It was tough but I’m alive and we are alive. Grateful too ❤
@@melindad.217 🩷🩷🩷 💪🏻
Crippling. Literally sobbing. Thank you.
UA-cam sent this up to me as a suggestion, and I am so glad.
I feel like I can identify with a lot of the lyrics. I have also never been thin. I've failed a lot of diets, even a weight loss surgery.
I am still here. I am still alive.
I also dyed my hair. Neon green is my shade.
As I have found my community, I have found my freedom and life is good. Thank you for your song.
Beautiful voice. Beautiful soul. Beautiful woman.
I love seeing real people - the music industry no longer curating everything we see and hear, Real authentic soulful singers like Jennarie 💕
A song has never made me feel more seen as a 5’11 plus sized, masculine build woman. Thank you for this. This song describes me to a T.
No such thing as a masculine built woman. You're in the body of a beautiful woman & whoever disagrees is a liar!
Me too! 5’11, big ol’ bitch! Love it. My fiancé loves me because I love me.
You are a woman. Never doubt that.
0:59 hit so deep❤❤❤
This is the first time I heard this song. She brought me to tears . I hope she realizes how this song will affect people . Thank you for putting the truth to song . You reminded me I’m not the only one to be in such pain for years . ❤ truly thank you for reminding me how grateful I am to be present.
This song is absolutely beautiful. This needs to be everywhere. Be alive! There are people out there that will love you for you, and learning to love yourself is the first step.
This was fire and power and I cried my eyes out because I feel all of this. Thank you.
This song applies to so many. Male and female. It's beautiful. I love it. Her voice is phenomenal.
I've lost count of how many times I've replayed this already! It's like you're telling my story. ❤️
Thank you for this!
Rich voice, made for jazz, blues, spiritual.....thank you, beautiful song.
They're singers then theres artists.
Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your music.
I'm a fan.
This, mic drop
So much power, grace, strength, assertiveness, and confidence. You are beautiful in every way. I felt these lyrics so hard. Always be loud, be free, and be you. ❤
This song is a masterpiece. It gives so many a voice who aren´t heard and seen or too afraid to speak up. This energy is incredible. Thank you for this beautiful song! ❤
I'm 73, 5 feet tall, and have been overweight since puberty. Also a lesbian, which should tell you what I think of other folks' opinions, so I've lived my life on my own terms. For some reason, 16 months ago, something changed and I began losing weight. For years I've weighed 210 pounds. I'm now effortlessly maintaining 120 lbs. Don't know why and don't care. Live your life, girls; it belongs to you and you alone.
Thank you for living your truth against all odds and government oppression to pave the way for my generation. Sincerely, a 28 year old lesbian.
That's music people can relate to and heal from.
Just came across this song during a major change in my life. Immediately brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.
I can see it now, this is going to be one that everyone wants to cover and do a verse for...I know I want to... now if I could get over the hurdle of being an introvert, closet popstar and step out into the sunshine.....
The only things you will regret in the end are the ones you didn't do. So do it. Stop holding yourself back. Live out loud
I'm here crying at this ending. This song says a lot of the things I feel and think. So thank's very much.
These last few months have been complicated. I'm exercising and dieting, which takes a lot of demands on my physical and emotional State.
But since I'm a student, I had to desacral it a bit. My family doesn't understand that. They criticize me Instead of helping me not to giving up.
Beautiful, beautiful, devastating, uplifting, beautiful.
i never thought i could find a song that came so close to home. but here i am, laying in my bed at midnight crying to this masterpiece. love from the netherlands!!!
This needs to be streaming on all music platforms right now!!! ❤🙌
This is the first time in my life UA-cam recommendations did something good for my ED rather than enabling my ADHD.
That song is so strong and also soothing, it helped me put my mind in the right place.
Came here from Tik tok, goosebumps ahhh 😭 in love with this
TikTok brought me here ❤❤
RANNNNN from TikTok just to hear the full version ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Oh man, this song...I have also been too big for most of my life, in 2012 I had a gastric bypass surgery. I am 163 cm (5.3) and went from 114 kilos to 49 ( 250 to 108 pounds) Now I weigh too little, and I was given 2 used tea bags where I had two proud breasts. I tried really hard to be healthy, but I still feel people judging me. but it is not about my weight or the judgment of others. it's in me. I must accept who I am and what I look like and be proud of it, 'cause I am alive!!
For anyone who likes to have all of the lyrics at once while listening:
I have never been small
I have never been thin
I'm almost six feet tall
So tall I stretched my skin
I've got scars from blue to red
Permanent
Dyed my hair to feel

Bruises round my eyes

Mmmm
And I'm alive

Wounds that flair and swell

Mmmm

Mmmm
And I'm alive
Mmmm
And I'm alive
And I'm grateful for it
Großartige Stimme, Tiefgang, Text ist unglaublich bewegend.
OMG!!! It's Big Mama Thornton reincarnated!!!! Powerful Voice that reaches down into your soul and hits home with her heart felt words!!
I heard this around 2pm and I’ve played it now 7 times and sent it to 2 people. Her voice is amazing. Great range and perfect for her. My favorite new thing. And I’m a 70yo WW n DC.
The storytelling, the musical talent. I just can't even explain the feelings I get from this
I've never related more to anything in this lifetime!
Girl I've always been little 5'1 but I feel this in my bones you speak for all women in this song you are incredible
this song has so much strength and soul
WOW. First off, Jennarie, you have a WONDERFUL voice. Rich, nuanced, powerful, evocative. A voice I want to hear more of. You also have a wonderful VOICE, by which I mean your lyrics are important, powerful, brave and generous. Thank you for this song.
Wow, this is me word for word. Only I'm 6ft 1 😢 I'm 2 years into chosing to be alive. Some days are easier then others. I will be playing this on hard days
This needs to be the anthem of 2024!!! This song is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If there was ever a song that was me. This is it. Beautiful!
I think I saw another video from her, so I knew she had a great voice, but I got as far as, “I have never,” and I got.
GOOSE.
BUMPS.
All over my body. My neck, my head, my chest, my back.
I’m sitting out on my patio, 3:30 in the afternoon. It’s FL, so it’s 94 degrees (F). In the shade.
WOW!!!
Amazing. Voice, emotion, poetry. Amazing. ❤ Soul baby. ❤
THANK YOU JENNARIE! You have touched our very souls and we are so very grateful! You have thousands more followers and fans and friends then you will ever know. Some of us never speak in any way. Your voice... I have no words other than "what a blessing you are to me" Thank you. Please sing, record and share every song you can - share that gorgeous, wondrous, fantastic gift with the world! PLEASE!
Yes ma'am! I love this so much! I started crying as soon as i heard the first verse. I can relate so much! I'm alive too baby, still big but living my best life! It's taken 42 years to get here! 💕 😘
I don't comment much but I have been going through the wringer in life lately and I have listened to this song at least once a day to help give me strength. I feel every lyric, every single one.
Omg this is probably my favorite song of 2024… I hope that you release the chords soon. I would love to play this song
This song is so powerful. I just found it on TikTok. I was having dinner by myself in a restaurant, and I started crying. Thank you. I’ve felt this way for so long. The funny part is that it doesn’t matter how old you are-once you’re a woman, you’re judged for being one way or another, and it can be so draining and exhausting. Thank you Jennarie.
Mark my words: this is a hit. I've been watching it for about a week and it's picking up steam.
You're voice is full of soul! With a blues swing! Ma'am, I love you and can listen to you sing a full album! Thank you for never giving up and sharing your gifted talent!!! 💖💖💖
Thank you!!! Thank you so very much for reaching into my mind & soul and putting my words into beautiful art!! Happy tears!!❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️

Pretty soon youtube is going to ask me if I'm ok... I have listened on repeat for for an hour.😂❤
This song has hit a spot. Opened my eyes and heart. Ty keep it up

You are a magical and beautiful being. Your voice is ethereal. Your message gives me strength. I would run out of space saying all that is on my heart. Thank you for being your authentic self, beautiful sister!
Everyone is right about the song but your voice!!! Dang!!! ❤️😍🤯
