“I’m Alive” is the first single from Jones' seventh album, Pick Me Up Off The Floor, her first since 2016.
In this song, Jones explores a helpless feeling that the world is falling apart and there’s nothing she can do about it. She doesn’t name any names, but alludes to US President Donald Trump an...
[Verse 1]
Just sit and wait, don't move
Just hesitate
You can hope and pray
You can moan
Maybe things will change
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You feel your soul
Get hollowed out
While the world implodes
You just live without
[Verse 2]
She walks, she runs
She fights almost as one
And finds her voice
She’ll march
She has no choice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She's crushed by thoughts
At night of men
Who want her rights
And usually win
[Chorus]
But she's alive
Oh, she’s alive
She's alive
Oh, she's alive
[Verse 3]
He screams, he shouts
The heads on the TV bow
They take the bait
They mirror waves of hate
[Pre-Chorus 3]
They break down walls
To free their sins
And then their hearts
Come caving in
[Verse 4]
Oh, I watch, I think
I dance
And sometimes I drink
I sing my songs
I'll hope someone sings along
[Pre-Chorus 4]
If I should break
My silent streak
Will knives come out
To cut my cheeks?
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive
But I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
I’m alive
Oh, I’m alive
Yes, I'm alive
Yes, I’m alive
[Outro]
I care a lot
I know the things I'm not
It's alright, it's okay
And it’s not, maybe things will change
I’m Alive was written by Jeff Tweedy & Norah Jones.
I’m Alive was produced by Jeff Tweedy.
Norah Jones released I’m Alive on Fri Mar 13 2020.
This was one of the songs I did with Jeff Tweedy in Chicago. I went out there a year and a half ago to mess around with him for three days and maybe release a single, and we ended up doing four songs. Two of them are on this album, this one and ‘Heaven Above’, and I think this one has great energy....
