[@xinbirths5807]

[@prescott0913]

Something about that cracking in her voice just..... Works.

[@ptuffgong8504]

Yes. With others it's an accident. With Sia it's planned and delivered on cue, right where that inflection is needed.

[@SkrollGameplay]

How is it call? Crack voice? I searched to watch another videos like this and the only think the i found was a 14 years old kid screaming and stuff like that.

It was rejected by Adele, actually.

[@juhxxxt]

+bianca sofia she could, watch what now live on alan carr

[@kosmoboi]

+bianca sofia looks like Rihanna "got her money" and didn't need to sing this song..LOL Rihanna would have destroyed this song (in the bad way) she doesn't have the emotion for it.

Totally:"The Truth!"

[@kauanalves917]

All songs from this album (This is acting) have been rejected by other artists Sia just took them all and made this album

[@jboy5253]

If I remember correctly Adele rejected it as she thought it was a better fit for Sia's voice

[@royal.chelsea]

i love the way her voice cracks when she sings it really shows her passion for the lyrics :)

[@xmystic1562]

ikr

[@nataku8006]

Me too, I love it. My mom says she sounds like she's about to cry, which is probably true. She's so passionate when she sings.

[@benadams7635]

It also shows her refusal to use autotune - she could have easily made those bits sound more pure. It shows her passion.

[@ochampagne1157]

sameeee

[@cryptnick_]

Glad there are more people appreciating this in the song. I think Sia is brilliant! A true artist! Love her.

[@jadenrivera2044]

Sia's voice cracks are part of her singing. Her voice cracks sound good for a reason. She does them because that is her type of singing.

Sia never disappoints us. This song is incredible!

[@martindegn3777]

I get what you are saying. Personally i am not dissapointed but i thought she would reach out of her comfortzone musically, but i feel like she has been writing in her usual zone without the intention of moving herself musically. And that "dissapoints" me :)

[@DuskPShermanWallaby123]

+bianca adiana yep

[@oinkgu]

As someone who has suffered from depression, bullying and anxiety for so long, I want to thank Sia for this song. It is gorgeous and gives me the courage to keep living and fighting.

[@CallMeGabi]

Only people who have been through struggle, hard times, depression, suicidal thoughts can relate to and understand this powerful song. Love Sia and her music so much.

[@Rushtondolly]

Sia's voice is so unique the cracks in her voice makes Sia Sia you just gotta like that voice she is a creative artist when it comes to music she is one of my favorite singers you gotta love that feeling what is your favorite music artist and I love the feeling when ever she cracked her voice because she's so concentrated in her new song and she's more concentrated on her other songs too

[@thecellosinger]

This song is powerful for powerful for people who have survived the worst of this life- bullying, depression, attempted suicide, self hatred, neglect, loneliness. Thanks SIA!

[@MbandiComposer]

So Sia doesn't show her face but she still has millions of views and sales. Other artists show everything but still don't cut it. As a musician, this gives me hope that it is still all about the music. Talking about music, imagine pop songs like this one remade with strings, piano, African vocal harmonies and Chinese Pipa. Watch on my channel and like this comment

[@funkylynna5689]

+Mbandi Music You are so right btw, I love your music and the diversity in it.

[@sithoa5388]

+Mbandi Music Wow, your videos are amazing. Afrcan vocals and chinese pipa, how did you think of that, it works so well

[@MbandiComposer]

+Sitho A Thank you so much

[@MbandiComposer]

+길민성 Thank you very much

[@HeyJhaay]

+Mbandi Music Goes to show how, in the end, talent always wins. Take Gaga for example. Many of her fans have known about her capabilities, but the GP focused on her outrageous fashion and controversies. This year, she's "toned down" on those shock antics, and let her vocals speak for her. And, well, this year has been amazing for her. I hope to see more artists like this in the future. The other current ​artists pop stars should take notes.

[@vannye]

You can feel the pain and the defiance in her voice... I love that from her, keep the good work SIA.

why is everybody comparing adele with sia?! both are good! Sia holds its own, and Adele too!! both are great singers, and can not compare

[@biancamattias4230]

YES.

[@TheTermin8tar]

thank you

[@303Erika]

Because the song was written for Adele

[@KittycatDaddy]

+BROOKLYN TERMIN8TAR It actually was written for Adele, and BY Adele, Sia, and Tobias Jesso, Jr. Adele turned it down because it sounded too similar to a lot of Sia's work.

[@TheTermin8tar]

The only thing sia has to do with Adele is her cowriting alive

[@djrevup]

I was born in a thunderstorm I grew up overnight I played alone I'm playing on my own I survived Hey I wanted everything I never had Like the love that comes with light I wore envy and I hated that But I survived I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go Where the wind don't change And nothing in the ground can ever grow No hope, just lies And you're taught to cry into your pillow But I survived I'm still breathing [4x] I'm alive [4x] I found solace in the strangest place Way in the back of my mind I saw my life in a stranger's face And it was mine I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go Where the wind don't change And nothing in the ground can ever grow No hope, just lies And you're taught to cry into your pillow But I survived I'm still breathing [4x] I'm alive [4x] You took it all, but I'm still breathing [8x] I have made every single mistake That you could ever possibly make I took and I took and I took what you gave But you never noticed that I was in pain I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't I told you that I would never be forgotten And all in spite of you And I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive I'm alive [4x]

For anyone who struggles with self-esteem and sensitivity issues, feeling unloved and neglected.. depression, any form of anxiety and/or especially suicidal thoughts/tendencies............ 1) you are not alone 2)Breathe in these lyrics and this song because child this one is for you : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : We all have a past, we all feel pain, and we all have a future full of obstacles ahead of us. Be at peace with your past, realize pain is only temporary, and you can overcome ANYTHING & EVERYTHING you focus on. It's time to stop struggling and fight for your life, your future. Just as you are, right now in this moment, You are beautifully needed; YOU are worth fighting and winning for; worthy of prosperity, love, peace, joy, support, and total respect. You are worth celebrating, every day for the rest of your life! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So, keeping holding on ---- Decide to survive --- Stay alive.

[@mikeh0212]

+highway to hell Sia said that Adele felt it didn't fit her. It kinda doesn't. Adele is pop but this very pop for her. Adele has more of a raw pop sound.

[@rishabhrox1]

+mikeh021 Adele is more of an Rn'B singer; while this song would've lost half of its epicness if it was sung with too many riffs and runs. The raw element of Sia's voice is what makes this song the masterpiece it is. :)

[@jordanhasch2544]

God...DAMN. This song fits my current state of mind. And even though it's six years old, there is no dating a great song (irrespective of genre), and I think we can all relate to the lyrics, especially with the current state of world affairs. We took everything the world could throw at us. We had our bones break. We were walked on, trod on, kicked at, punched and gouged. We are bleeding, scarred and angry, but unbowed and unbeaten. We will rise, we will survive and we WILL overcome. WE. ARE. ALIVE.

Stop fighting over this ... Sia Rihanna and Adele are in very good terms, Adele and Sia co-wrote it but Adele finally decide not to sing it and allowed sia to give it to Riri who declined it (like many others : Beyonce Katy P Demi L etc ) Now she is signing it and still love them all so there's nothing to argue about here ...

I was born in a thunderstorm I grew up overnight I played alone I'm playing on my own I survived Hey I wanted everything I never had Like the love that comes with light I wore envy and I hated that But I survived I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go Where the wind don't change And nothing in the ground can ever grow No hope, just lies And you're taught to cry into your pillow But I survived I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I found solace in the strangest place Way in the back of my mind I saw my life in a stranger's face And it was mine I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go Where the wind don't change And nothing in the ground can ever grow No hope, just lies And you're taught to cry into your pillow But I survived I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing You took it out, but I'm still breathing I had made every single mistake That you could ever possibly make I took and I took and I took what you gave But you never noticed that I was in pain I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't I told you that I would never be forgotten And all in spite of you And I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm still breathing I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) (You took it out, but I'm still breathing) I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive Source: www.directlyrics.com/sia-alive-lyrics.html

[@beyond-the-terror4078]

Thanks!

[@wallaceribeiro8164]

Thank you >.

[@salomestallworth3542]

I love that part when she sung I'm alive without music. She sounded so strong at that part

[@ariannamechelli7427]

The world needs an adjective to describe Sia's voice. It's just... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[@mechouilli]

"I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go, where the wind don’t change and nothing in the ground can ever grow" Her lyrics are always so dark, sometimes I wonder if Sia has ever been happy in her life. Anyway, she's a legend and I hope she'll bury us all

[@grancaramelon]

That's the unique thing about Sia, she's one of the artist who ever travel and exploit the depression and anxiety in her music. Her lyrics just give us a sense of what it means to be human, to be hurt, and to understand others' pain.

[@mechouilli]

+Andrew Lam That's beautifully said, man :)

[@RandiJepson]

I read this right when she sang that line ha

[@Nanteous]

+Randi Jepson I did the exact same thing!!

[@sebastiansandoval4861]

so true

[@MiraCassandre]

Sia is the scream that I need but can't let out. Thank you beautiful.

[@lzaOfficial]

Sia is one of the most successful mainstream who's getting more love than hate, I guess disguising herself from social media is working from keeping the haters away. But she can't be hated because she's a pro-humanitarian, she is a vegan and supports; LGBT rights, equality, animal rights, she donates money to charities, she's a person who doesn't care about fame but about wellbeing instead, and she simply can sing awesomely!

[@lzaOfficial]

Her songs are raw and contains real human feelings, she battled with depression and suicide hence this song being about "Alive" she wants to relieve you all from being isolated, she wants you to "breathe" and tell you it gets better if you're a strong fighter!

[@ryanswift3651]

+Someone this song was written for Adele. both sia and Adele wrote it.

[@ryanswift3651]

+Ryan Swift *to sing

[@ninanarvaez2572]

[@gabrielfigueroa3219]

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF ADELE!! BUT SIA YOU DISERVES SO ALIVE GONNA WIN A GRAMMY

[@DJ-lq6kt]

How is it adele's mistake

[@oudomveasna7945]

She wrote that song for Adele's new album and get rejected

[@brycejohnson4371]

Idk I think it would of been weird for Adele, it fits Sia better

[@jxp6993]

I know Sia wrote this for Adele but Sia gavee the song to Rihanna. But then Rihanna decided to give it back to her and that made Sia relieved because she was really attached to this song. So wouldnt Rihanna be the idiot?

[@Richenzo_99]

+Jae Pham damn how u know all this

[@taylor7928]

My love for Sia brought me here. FREAKING QUEEN~

[@kinsalawsonbody7640]

Every time i listen to this song i cry you can clearly hear how released she felt

[@jayceejones2055]

Man this song fr just me just look back at all I’ve been through and it’s a reminder that I made it through. Cause I’m ALIVE. I can finally say I want to be alive and actually feeling alive just makes the battles Ive been through have that much more meaning to them. For the first time in my 16 years of life I can really say I’m happy and mean it. True happiness is a great feeling.🖤

[@naox1411]

Thanks god we have Adele, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Hayley Williams and SIA that remind us that this generation can musically speaking still be safed.

[@manos2729]

Im trying not to laugh with Beyonce...

[@naox1411]

[@alaamis2002]

[@comicalcrazies9235]

I love how she doesn't put too much pressure on her music and how her voice cracks 😍

[@harmlesschiel]

is this part of a new album?

[@gcabreragabriel]

+harmlesschiel Yes, It's called "This is Acting". Alive is its first single...

[@cmmiestcat]

+Nigel Brian Mashups 2 Close but actually, Adele rejected it at very last minute, she (Sia) took it back. Both Adele and Sia wrote this together. Maybe Adele thought this sounded too close with 21's album theme.

[@harmlesschiel]

Gabriel Cabrera thx :)

[@StoneSwallowVevo]

Yessss

[@pukechu9419]

+Nigel Brian Mashups 2 lol???? Chandelier wasn't written for Rihanna, Sia said that she'll keep that song for her that time, and that's why she recorded it and became a hit.

[@mariajuarez5430]

i love sia so much! her lyrics are amazing!

[@baileymackenzie2351]

[@travisfreeman2917]

It's so amazing the that Sias voice cracks so very perfectly when she sings I'm alive in her song alive
