On the second track of They Might Be Giants' 2015 album Glean, the Johns take the time to appreciate their bodies and the lives they been given on a softly uplifting track.
John Flansburgh has stated that “I guess the best explanation of ‘Good to Be Alive’ is the simplest—the song isn’t a metaphor...
[Verse 1]
Hello, mind, it's good to be awake again
Spend some time reflecting
Hello, hand, we all salute you, hand
Five fingers strong, it's good to have you back again
[Verse 2]
Hello, eye, the complicated eye
Focus so hard on inspecting
Hello, leg, such a shaky leg
Just barely more than decoration
[Chorus 1]
I'm not a motivational speaker
But on this, I have arrived
It's good to be alive
Good to be alive
[Bridge]
Hello, hand, we all salute you, hand
Five fingers strong, it's good to have you back again
[Chorus 2]
I'm not some mega-church style preacher
But my spirit is revived
It's good to be alive
Good to be alive
[Chorus 3]
I'm not a life coach or some teacher
But I think we'll all survive
It's good to be alive
Good to be alive
