#HeadFirst #Goldfrapp #Alive
Lyrics:
I woke up with the rising sun
I was blinded by the light
Jump up and pull on my jeans
It feels good, they're a little tight
Step out in a crazy world
But then the sun resets your mind
Feel the weight of it all just drift
Off on a cloud to another time
Ooh ooh ooh hello hello!
Ooh ooh ooh hello hello!
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
Like the way that you drive your car
I like the way that you turn the wheel
Can't stop thinking about you baby
You don't know we are the real deal
Here we are on a perfect night
The sky is clear and the moon is full
Looking out at the universe
I thank the stars and the heavens for you
Ooh ooh ooh hello hello!
Ooh ooh ooh hello hello!
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I
Ooh we're all alone
Ooh we're all alone
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I
Feeling alive again
Alive again
Feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

This sounds like ELO and Olivia-Newton John and the visuals are straight out of the “Xanadu” film. Man, I love how Allison gets retro sounds and music just right!

Goldfrapp made me feel alive again.

[@ArtisticlyAlexis]

I still don't understand how Goldfrapp didn't get the same recognition as other artists. She was before Gaga, but just as talented & yet she didn't take off in the same way.

[@toddstone9739]

That's the most ideal of music work in world. Only following the natural and realize one after another huge challenge with breaking bad-bad-BAD!

[@xXSoulripperOo]

marketing, connections, having access to top industry people through people who work with the biggest music industry in the world. U know, stuff.

[@Pinkrosesandagraveyard]

Dawn Richards and Brooke Candy are two others from other genres that came before others and didn’t take off. Just a shame sometimes.

[@TimeSynthis]

I think that's a fair question from here in the USA. I never hear Goldfrapp on the FM radio, but they still play old Madonna songs that are overplayed for the billionth time. Like anything else in the US media, politics overrides talent. You say as good as Gaga, I think Goldfrapp is much better...Voice, lyrics, composing, synths, etc, but just my opinion.

[@premitive1]

I find it strange you would compare Goldfrapp to Lady Gaga...

[@Matt-bh3gb]

I bought the "Head First" CD over a decade ago when it was first released. Having listened to "Alive" many, many times since then, the song has never made me think of Goths and vampires doing aerobics... until now. 😲

[@observeirene]

[@WVMothman]

I missed this one in it's debut release, it's a great pop song!, good choreography. In the U.S. artists like her sort of fall through the cracks, even if it's aired on college radio they don't get played a lot.

I think this is an HD remastered version

[@charliequinn_]

It’s a HD remaster of the original video to celebrate the upcoming release of the reissue for their album, ‘Head First’. Also the music video for ‘Alive’ was never on the bands main channel, only Mute’s.

[@LoneWolf-qv8lx]

This is very Olivia Newton John and Xanadu!

[@luisditaa]

Horrible, it looks the same. Golfdfrapp deserves a TRUE HD video

[@Heisenberg2097]

Though Goldfrapp created two of my absolute favourite albums: Felt Mountain and Tales of Us. And had a fabulous show on the T.o.U tour. This cannot reach me. SRY.

[@Nick-kf3io]

Tales of us is amazing I agree

[@JohnLudi]

Definitely musical chameleons. Tales of Us is one my faves too, but a lot of what they do is just fun dance pop. GOOD fun dance pop, to be sure, but I don't find it emotionally or intellectually compelling. I did like the humorous video for this one though.

[@pascalperron7629]

They agree with you too haha, they've often said that this album was thrown together really quickly because of record company pressure and that it's their least favorite. There's some pretty good tunes on Head First, but it is definitely the more light-hearted, not too serious album of their discography, which is sometimes the mood I'm in

[@vvvezar2248]

cool video but not HD :(

[@AlexHernandez-xu9pe]

I love Goldfrapp, but for me this album never happened. I HATE IT.

[@autumnmartin5590]

I absolutely love Goldfrappe!! But as a Christian this was really hard to watch hahahaha 😂 😅

[@steelyman08]

It was hard to watch as a non-religious person. Not sure why she chose to chuck all of this out there for this single. Love the song, but the video concept just seems misplaced & pretty silly!

[@joogar]

Great song back in the day, but i could never understand what all the freemasonic symbolism in the video had got to do with the music itself ? e.g. pyramid, the all seeing eye, simulated ritual sacrifice and blood drinking, simulated summoning of demons ? ( laser beams coming from the hands and manifesting demons ), i mean, was i missing something here ? This kind of symbolism seems to be ubiquitous in nearly every other music video and concert/festival these days, and its becoming......well......BORING, to say the least🥱

[@steelyman08]

I agree. You won't get many asking such questions or questioning it all in the official comment section because it's just not on to be critical in any way. She's always had a bit of a witchy Pagan thing going on throughout her career and that's just been kind of part of the charm. But I agree that this it taking it to the extreme for reasons I don't understand at all. Love Goldfrapp, but this is overboard for me. She was never a poser, but this seems affected and pretentious. Not sure why at all. I know that it's all conceptual and was choreographed & scripted by by a duo called Legs (there's meaning of sorts behind all of the metalheads & 70's disco dancers, vampires and whatever else). I love the song and personally wish she'd just done one of her own videos for it. The song didn't chart, but was a big club hit in the UK. Who knows? Her image really shifted with the album Silver Eye (another great album). I recognized that straight away. Who wouldn't? It was a radical change as well. Some love it, some do not. If you want a detailed explanation for the video, it's all on Wiki. Just type in Goldfrapp Alive & it comes up.

[@rebours]

What an overrated band...it was so clear from the start it was all about poses and packaging...

[@DavidParedesHispanische]

Have you ever listened their other albums? each one is particular and Head First was a very commercial and dancing album.

[@LuDux]

@S B Are you Simon Reynolds?

[@rebours]

@@LuDux No 😆 I know my wording was pretty harsh...

[@steelyman08]

That's harsh!? Seventh Tree is anything but posing and packaging (and Felt Mountain). I wouldn't say overrated is fair at all. Latter albums have certainly seemed more affected and pretentious (to be very honest as a fan), but Silver Eye is a very decent electronica album. They've put out one "silly" album that I can think of, but even that was a rush job that they don't like. You've a right to your opinion, but if you find Seventh Tree full of poses and packaging, I'd be surprised. There is a ton of really crappy electronica out there. This duo have talent at least! Having said all of that, I will say that this song is just okay, but the video is absolutely horrible! I wouldn't blame anyone for rolling their eyes and wondering if it was geared towards teenage goths for some weird reason.
