Alive
"Alive" is a song by the American rock band Pearl Jam. "Alive" was Pearl Jam's first single, and appeared on the band's debut album, Ten. Written by guitarist Stone Gossard, "Alive" originated as an instrumental titled "Dollar Short" and was included on a demo tape circulated in hopes of finding a singer for the group. Vocalist Eddie Vedder obtained a copy of the tape and wrote lyrics that describe a fictionalized account of the time when he was told that the man he thought was his father was not actually his biological parent. "Alive" charted at number 16 in the UK. Remixed versions of the song were included on Pearl Jam's 2004 greatest hits album, rearviewmirror, and the 2009 Ten reissue. The song peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
