Alive (2020 Remake)

[stoman]

Here is an "oldie" from 2011. We redid everything except the keys and the vocals for this version.

The original version started with Andy Furlong's lyric.

ALIVE (2020 Remake)

George Williams: Vocals
Andy Furlong: Lyrics
Till Kuhn: Guitars
Anand Gupta: Bass
Alex Zulaika: Drums
Steffen Offermann: Composition, Production & Mix


You're the gasoline
I'm the flame
Like dynamite
When I call out your name

I'm the Ace of Hearts
You're the Queen
There's a twist of fate
And something you've never seen

Hold on tight, I'll make you chill
Go to places you never will
Let you know you're alive
Alive

There's a jagged edge
On angel skin
Playing dangerously
With the rage within

I'm an animal
Bearing teeth
Sensing innocence
Served at my own sweet feast

Hold on tight, I'll make you chill
Go to places you never will
Let you know you're alive
Alive

Let you know you're alive
Alive

Hey Steffen,

Good to see this one dusted off and redone.

Sounds powerful, great mix.

Letting your wild animal side out huh?

It's still one of my favorite collaborations (if not my favorite one). Thanks for helping with the remake - without your suggestions it would not have turned out like this.

I love this!  Really cool to listen to, and the vocals are amazing.

Am I crazy or am I getting an Alice Cooper vibe on this one?

[napoleonboot]

This is fab! It was so long ago only only just remember working on it. Very glam rock/Alice Cooper.


I assume Anand is what Andy's mum calls him?


I just listened back to the original mix, this has a lot more body/weight and vocal effects and just general goodness - much better.

You made me sound the best I can be, well done, and thanks very much everyone else sounds pretty good aswell.

Ha, I don't know. I only know three Alice Cooper songs. Yes, seriously.

... but I have been wanting to check them out for 30 years. Also seriously ...

Dammit, George, now I really have to go check them out.

I'm glad you approve, George. Your vocals are so awesome on this, it just had to be done right. This had been bugging me for ages.


There are one or two more songs with you singing that I would like to overhaul. I hope to find time for it soon.

And I would also love to collaborate with you again. The last song we did together must have been around the same year as when we did "Alive". At least it feels that long.

That is very cool tune. I love the glam rock feel. Sweet, Slade.

Nice job all! I love the mix. And I'm a sucker for echo on high notes!

Bring on Living In Sin and Wooden Sam!!!

I added a little update to the first post. Did not quite like the vocal mix; now I do.
