Lyrics
I shiver when I remember
The things that I have seen
I know the light, I know the Night
I have walked with things unseen
I have been a king invincible
I’ve been the poorest of the poor
I’ve pulled the mighty from their thrones
And laughed at Death’s own door‘Cause I’m alive, I’m alive
I’m alive, I’m aliveI roamed the world in search of life
Death followed in my wake
I searched for truth, I want the truth
And learned more than I could take
I’ve walked the roads of mystery
And it’s aged me much too soon
I’ve paid the piper and I’ve paid him well
But he still calls the tuneI’m alive
I’m alive
I’m alive
I’m aliveI shiver when I remember
The shadow of the past
The lonely ways, the lonely days
When every breath might be my last
I lost my heart, I lost my soul
By every hand betrayed
But I’ve still got strength, I’ve still got life
And that will never change‘Cause I’m alive, I’m alive
I’m alive, I’m aliveI’m alive
I’m alive
I’m alive
I’m alive
I’m alive

This was written by Greg Lindstrom. Jim Barraza’s favourite song on the album.
“I’m Alive” was one of our all time best songs, which we started almost every set with.
Robert Garven, Amazon-review
The LA Times said that the song “Alive” by “Pearl Jam” was a blatant rip-off of Cirith Ungol’s “I’m Alive”.
Robert Garven, Diabolical Conquest interview
I have to say though F&F is a killer album I think “I’m Alive” is one of our best songs (We would open with it allot), the LA Times said when Pearl Jam’s first album was released that their song “Alive” was a blatant rip off of “I’m Alive”.
Robert Garven, Scream Magazine de, Nov 1999
Ps! can we see the source of LA Times with date ?
I’m Alive” is a favourite of mine, because the music and lyrics of “I’m Alive” really combine to evoke a melancholy mood
Greg Lindstrom, Headache interview, 2005
I’m Alive (Album version Dec 1980)
From release Frost And Fire (1981).
I’m Alive (Demo 23 Apr 1977)
From re-released Frost And Fire (2021).
I’m Alive (Demo Sep 1980)
From released Servant of Chaos (2001).
Demo of the song that appeared on Frost and Fire album.
(Sept 80) Again, not a lot different from the F & F version, but it’s got another great solo from Jerry. Sorry about the pops, that’s from switching in the vocals on the lead guitar track. The joys of trying to squeeze everything in on 4 tracks … The LA Times music critic reported that Pearl Jam’s ‘Alive’ was a rip off of this song!
