HIM - TOO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE

[SuperDEVILGIRLZ]

first time ive heard it and i must say its AMAZING!!! One of the best HIM songs around xxxx Lots of HIM hugs to everyone xxxx

[altosaxophone4life]

It's a must to 'favorite' each and every song of H.I.M.!! <3

He's too damn beautiful!! ^_^ <3

[TKeimz]

The drum sound is made with a sampler, still this is a masterpiece.

[33smokechic]

i love this freakin' song! H.I.M is just amazing!!!!

[anotherturnapoint]

is this god singing? *w* <3

[Javv6669]

Intro is like One Last Time

[MotleyCrueGrrl666]

Love the song, love the tune, love Villes Voice. I love HIM!!!! They changed my life. Thank you Ville and Mige for forming this amazing band.

[csmetal666]

either lyrics and song are... mmm.. captivating.!

[Nympholita]

wow that´s one masterpiece of a song <3

i love it!

and it´s some kind of foreboding sense tune :D

[Funeralcult]

Sisters of Mercy - Flood II

[Nympholita]

sounds sometimes like the foreboding sense of impending happines and i LOVE THAT!!!

[lovelyswimmer1]

I was reading Anne Rice's "The Witching Hour" while listening to this. I dedicate it to Marguriette.

[nikkisuicidefly]

"Found on the net in 2004" Pure logic tells me that this is some kind of a Dark Light demo or something. I mean the sound fits for Dark Light.

[Funeralcult]

@nikkisuicidefly Apparently it was a b-side off Razorblade Romance. Those are programmed drums, because the old drummer had just left the band.

[Randimichelle1]

awesome to hear songs like this, and how they changed over the years :)

[09stoneheart]

This is a great song, why wasn't put on any album?

[MyDarkestLady]

@ cherrycola82

nein, war es mir nich da mein leben in den letzten jahren andere wege eingeschlagen hat als zuvor, zb mamaglück =) von daher war es einer der ersten songs seit längerem den ich ma wieder gehört habe. danke dir!

[MaiKerli]

Happy B-day Mige !!!

[TheFallenButterfly]

@SatanasAngel You're absolutely right. Bands such as The 69 Eyes and a few Dark Wave bands have incorporated this particular intro. If this argument is considering all perspectives than everyone will acknowledge that the same assumptions could be pointed towards a vast majority of metal and heavy metal bands expressing the same typical solos and chorus but with distinctive notes. Linkin Park utilized the same chords and notes on Meteora and Hybrid Theory minus the change in notes.

[SamanthaHarrison23]

one more perfect song by this perfect band.

HIM is a band made in Heaven.

[daydreamer666julia]

Thanks for the lyrics:)

[SS4GogetaUltamite]

Much better than Micheal Jackson's Thriller.

[TheRockergirl82]

Ville is the greatest songwriter<3

[coffeetogo83]

@TheRockergirl82

yes and the sexiest man alive :-)))

[edgalglz]

It's impossible choosing just one HIM fav song this one of my 100 songs

[klaudianna314]

Does his voice have to be so perfect?

<33!

[ArkkitehtiMark]

This song reminds me to a cloudy, cold and melancholic day.

[RyanTheNotorious]

every single HIM song is amazing!

[Jsuis14]

@RyanTheNotorious That's because Ville is some kind of god-like writer...

[one111guy1111]

Got it on "4shared.com." Thanks. Maybe the other ones are better...?

[MrsHolliValo]

@one111guy1111 iTunes do you think??

[mandy3505]

[alhanawxd]

When this song started I was just out of nowhere was tapping my feet on the chair :)

Now thats when you can tell it is either a great band or an excellent song :)

[Horcohell]

adoro esta cancion!!!

[ThePhenom170]

6 people aren't too happy to be alive

[MyDarkestLady]

wow, seit längerer zeit mal wieder ein toller song von HIM =) ein mix aus allen songs von früher- einfach großartig!!!!

[cherrycola82]

[AshleyHeartagram420]

Love this song <3 but i noticd that some of the lyrics are simmilar to Death is in love with us or used in that song. I dont know if it this song was meant to be the original and made death is in love with us instead but something i noticed xD lol still a good song

HIm have a few hidden jems they dont put on the actual album, part of wha makes them myisterious

[lonelygloomyday]

This band should be more well known! <3 

[theleoandsatanfan]

@lonelygloomyday Oh it is! I like the band to be well known but I want it to be a band a select few of us know because of how we connect with the band and not how the band sounds.

[GothVampireQueen]

Why the fuck isn't this on a album?

[LazResur]

damn..everytime i come to this vid..the replay button gets raped...sorry replay button! ....but u kno u loved it ;)

[krisluvs1]

I dont think they purposely copied my friend, sometimes their are some riffs that sound very similar to other songs ya know , I really wanna see these guys live!

[JackPudding666]

@2xZEROx7 How can U know that??!

[JaqieofSilentHill]

"We're runnin' just to get caught"

I swear I heard that line in one of their songs..can't remember what one though ^^;

[6Tilo1Wolf6]

@JaqieofSilentHill

Death is in Love With us

whoa whoa, whoa whoa

[sex14]

I hate to admit it but this is my fav song from HIM :)

[punkin1331]

I love Mr. Valo's suit in this photograph.

[destructionman1]

OMG HIM COPIED SOME MUSIC!!!! The intro drum track is the EXACT same as a drum part from the song "Opiate Summer" by the band Vendetta Red. Opiate Summer was made in 2003 and Too Happy To Be Alive was released in 2004. MADNESS! But I still love HIM!!! Haha.

[theonescaredcat]

@destructionman1 dude shut the fuck up

[6Tilo1Wolf6]

@destructionman1

Too Happy To Be Alive was a demo they made back in 1998/99 when their previous drummer Patka had left the band and they didn't have Gas yet.

[GeorgeDownloved]

@6Tilo1Wolf6 Patka is not playing in this song...Not even Mige or Linde...Its all made by Cubase or something.

The only thing "real" in this song it's Ville's voice...;)

[6Tilo1Wolf6]

@GeorgeDownloved

What I said was that patka was not playing hereXD

[GeorgeDownloved]

@6Tilo1Wolf6

Oh...Sorry! My bad... :P

[lLangostino836]

Me encanta

[DashDarrenger]

this song was a pain in the ass to find.

[2clerks2]

is this on itunes?

[Magorockero]

ville, mige, linde and zoltan they all did this song... this where him was in a hurry searching for a drummer...

[Etthomas13sexhexy13]

2 ignorant people have no taste

[ErisedDawn]

@Etthomas13sexhexy13 You're the ignorant one. Not everyone has the same taste in music.

We like what we like

[Etthomas13sexhexy13]

@ErisedDawn Then that makes you blind and dumb

[ErisedDawn]

@Etthomas13sexhexy13 How is being blind connected to intelligence?

[Etthomas13sexhexy13]

@ErisedDawn Blind because my friend, I most certainly am not ignorant and I love how you didn't deny the fact that you were. Besides, I take it you were one of the dislikes?

[TheFallenButterfly]

@Etthomas13sexhexy13 I shun those who deny this beautiful music. I respect the musical tastes of those who listen to the horrible cookie-cutter nonsense called music in this day and age but don't scrutinize HIM in any sense imaginable, thank you.

[nickythegoth]

@TheFallenButterfly Indeed

[TheFallenButterfly]

Respond to this video...  My response was in agreement to yours if you happen to be curious

[Etthomas13sexhexy13]

@TheFallenButterfly Why thank you{:

[TheFallenButterfly]

@Etthomas13sexhexy13 You're so very welcome. HIM has been my divine inspiration and I personify him as my Jesus of melancholic gorgeousness.

[Klabella96]

I'm sooo surprised about this sond, why I never heard about it???

[marilynsweety]

@BlastYouVileWoman827 as a matter of fact this band was the first of its kind i 've listened to. i 've never missed a concert in my country for 5 years and been a huge fan of them but stopped the last 2 years, when they started changing their sound. their songs usually speak for love and its close relationship with death. the truth is that i didn't pay much attention to this one. the proper explainetion was given by hukkunut.

[marilynsweety]

an optimistic song from HIM?? well.. that's new!

[hukkunut]

@marilynsweety

Well yeah, but the song is about the depression caused by happiness. :D

[marilynsweety]

@hukkunut you are right

[Ickehim]

I do like the song but that is def. from the earlier days. I do admire HIM and I think is is one of the greatest bands we have in our world but this chorus does not work for HIM . Neither back in the days or in the future. it just doesnt seem right. Correct me if Im wrong. i hope that they will release this song but please please please with a darker Voice for the chorus.

Thank you

HIM you still ROCK

[gothicashoker]

@Ickehim the chorus is the same as the heartless

[hukkunut]

@gothicashoker

Actually words are identical to Death's In Love With Us.

[SonicFan2k90]

@hukkunut Apart from Too happy to be alive. Plus the drum sounds like a slowed down version of wicked games drum

[TheVino3]

@Ickehim HIM dont rock, they whine and bitch

[Ickehim]

I do like the song but that is def. from the earlier days. I do admire HIM and I think is is one of the greatest bands we have in our world but this chorus does not work for HIM . Neither back in the days or in the future. it just doesnt seem right. Correct me if Im wrong. i hope that they will release this song but please please please with a darker Voice for the chorus.

Thank you

HIM you still ROCK

[spankingboat11]

this is my first time listening to this song. I love H.I.M. and im constantly looking for music by them i havent listened to. and this song is fantastic! Love it!

[acmav289]

Apparently you guys dont know the band at all. This is not a cover, nor did they rip off their own lyrics. Its a demo version of "Death is in love with us", they have demo versions of about one forth of their songs. There usually released on singles or compilations.

[addiction6to6bad6]

odd when they rip off their own lyrics heh .

[iamfalling12]

you guys know this is a cover right?

[Demon1LT]

Who is the idiot who missed the like button?

[RyanIsOffended]

Great song. Funny how this kind of turned into "Death Is In Love With Us."

[MrJishjashjosh]

this sounds so much like The Heartless lol

[MrKyRoNn]

I am "TOO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE" when im listening to this song

[y00lya]

I guess it is "Love's life blessed, love's life cursed"

anyway, this song is awesome xD

[necroscope101]

Guys lets not hate on vino. Hes used to getting butt raped by his dad and he was a little crabby when his dad said he was gonna skip it once. We can all forgive that, right? We understand, vino.

[TheVino3]

lololol

[BlackWolfDarcia]

HIM is the best band ever! I can't say more. They are great, my favorite band, and this will they always be. :)

[punkin1331]

this song makes me happy

[TreCoolsDominatedLS]

can you send me the link for that picture?

[TheVino3]

what a piece of bullshit, too happy to be alive - what a bunch of posers.

piece-o-shit band

[HeartacheVille96]

@TheVino3 What's your problem? Why go hating on a band you barely know and comment your shit?! How about go get a life and some god damn music taste, or just go fuck yourself you artard.

[greg675]

@TheVino3 Fuck you :)

[ArtistCrystalLJ]

@TheVino3  It sucks to be you.

[TheVino3]

@ArtistCrystalLJ cos im not an emo fag? damn i miss out on SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC I MEAN WHAT

[MNYAFC]

@TheVino3 how are they posers? Please explain. And what exactly are they posing as? -_-

[TheVino3]

@MNYAFC you think they are really like that? inside do you think they really are anything like that? no one is, its just annoying when people pose like it.

[dollygal2007]

play shakira underneath your clothes to this video-goes so well! I LOVE HIM x

[xXxEmoXCandyxXx]

OH BURTON I LOVE THE WAY U TICKLE THOSE IVORYS

[KITTYBITEME]

i have one question and maybe to someone it will be stupid but..from which album is that song ?

[M94666]

@KITTYBITEME it isn't on any album i guess. read the description

[crittoprrr]

And so Depeche Mode rears its infuential head.

[inkgoddess30]

I agree with you himher2293! It does have a sound that reminds me of The Foreboding Sense of Impending Happiness. I like the song because it is different and has that early HIM sound. Beautiful song! I listen to it almost every day! I just wish I could buy it somewhere, so I could listen to it anytime. Oh well, that's what you tube is for I guess! lol

[himnher2293]

this song has a beat that reminds me of The Foreboding Sense Of Impending Happiness

[inkgoddess30]

I have been listening to this song several times for the last few minutes, and I love it!!!! Definitely sounds like the other early HIM tracks that I love. I am certainly enjoying it, since it is new for me! :) Love and hugs to the guys!

[Lucretia181]

Gorgeous Song... One of my favorites!!

[jackblackhartshadow]

B-Side from Razorblade Romance. The drums are from a Drum Machine

[JoanneValo]

This song is so beautiful... but that are all HIM Songs :D

The bass is so great!

And the lyrics... so wow... but that's HIM^^ Alywas beautiful and great!!!

(Sorry for my bad english, but I'm from germany...)

[emilyownsarat]

@JoanneValo Your English is honestly better than a lot of American's I know, so bravo for that my friend! ;)

[Kanavral11]

@JoanneValo The bass is so awesome, the riff for this song will have to be my next practical assesment in music now :D

[tgpboy]

brilliant lyrics

[leonin3]

I really like this, I just wish this is how the band was going with their sound now.

[DoughnutXHole]

Have you listened to their latest album? The first thing I thought when I was listening to it, I was like "This reminds me of Too Happy To Be Alive!" haha

[leonin3]

Yeah, I was really excited to get the new album. I got it the day it came out but it wasn't my cup of tea. I like that smooth deep voice that Valo used to use. The past two albums they have really faded from the 80s goth rock sound.

[2livenletdie]

@leonin3 same here...their music of today....eh, totally different...

[theonescaredcat]

@leonin3 they make the songs based on their feelings if they feel happy i feel happy they feel sad i feel sad

[15anna]

I love this song!<3

[EnigmaticInk]

I JUST REALIZED WHY THIS WASNT RELEASED... if you listen closely.. all the rhythms are mixes of their songs off razorblade romance and greatest love songs volume six six six.. I think this was originally a concept song but they found away to take elements apart of this song and make it an entire album.. true musicians indeed

[TheCrazyHorse101]

BEST BAND EVER =D

<3 <3 <3

[yourcircleoffear]

HIM is the greatest band on earth.

[TheCrazyHorse101]

80s sound and add the gothic touch

its a thing only HIM can pull off

[vdaph26]

one of my favorite <3 HIM "fear for the best & hope for the worst...too happy to be alive."..hm..

[November86]

this is the first time I'm listening to this song....and I kinda liked. Is 80's beat with Gothic touch... HIM you're AMAZING

does anyone know where I can download ths song.... mail me please

[mcenergizer134]

@November86 i can send u this song along with alot of other un-released HIM songs.....just message me and we'll hook up om messenger or something

[TheRapWizard]

A funky beat with a Gothic song...awesome...

[martincordon]

beautiful ass song, you can tell part of "death is in love with us" derives from this song
