Edwin - Alive

[johjac1977]

@Robheydon2 Wow!! R u Canadian? Amazing, must see the movie.

[MrHavoc313]

Man this guy is a true Canadian he snowboards sky dives and diving all in one music video.

[lisaandarron]

one of the best songs ever . hate video edits. they cut out so much

[MrCrazyenergy]

you know what forget university! I just want to go enjoy life and not be stuck studying for 13 hours straight. I am gonna quit and go do all the things this guy did!!!!

But I guess all this stuff costs a lot of money so I will need some money. To get money I will need to have a good paying job. To get a good paying job I will need a degree. To get a degree I will have to........ stay in school............. FUUUU.........!!

[mstrickky84]

this is my sisters song. who passsed away today 01/25/12 ... RIP sissy i will love u and be with u forever xoxoxo

[listenmorespeakless]

@mstrickky84 so sorry.Wishing you love & peace <3

[Robheydon2]

I directed this video years ago. Just directed my first feature - Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy. You can search it on YouTube...

[edwinadi]

LOL...My name is Edwin..I just searched my name and this came up...

[GoldBoy7GG]

@edwinadi same :P

[metamorphstorm]

Whenever I hear this, the homework I'm doing feels pointless. It feels like a song that should motivate everyone to enjoy everything, but all I want to do is live all the adventures I dream up and not the work I have to do :(

I just love this song! It brings up all the good times I can remember :)

[orlandojames33]

I just found out that enrique iglesias wrote this song. wow

[flyyspit]

@orlandojames33

Hook us up to the link or ???

[nakiestona]

My grad song in 2004. We were awesome!

[WOG300]

this used to be my workout song ...lolz @ Jpashkovsky and devster117 your comments killed me lolz hahahahaha

[thesxx]

Anyone get shivers down their spine, and goosebumps listening to this? Makes me think of how lucky we all are to be alive as a human being. If you add up all the odds against to even getting your life started, as who you are now. The number is too massive to comprehend. Cherish life because its only 100 year duration, and then who know what happens afterwards.

[tinabumbina1]

Love this song! Aaaaaand he's Canadian!

[Jpashkovsky]

The first time I got laid, I went home and cranked this music 2AM in the basement of my parents house. My Dad came down yelling to turn it down, but with how pure the music was I didnt lie, and said I just had sex for the first time. He came downstairs, grabbed two beers, and winked at me saying, "aint it good to be alive?"

[SKY101ful]

@Jpashkovsky Epic story for epic song

[lesleywillsey]

@Jpashkovsky that's awesome!

[alexbmac]

@Jpashkovsky That's a great story. Your dad sounds awesome.

[rocke108]

I forgot how hot he looked!! :)

[TheDiplomats87]

Such an amazing song, I remember jamming out to this when I was 12!

90's music ftw!!!

[MizzBekyyy23]

anyone know where i can find his bio?

[blee3x]

@MizzBekyyy23 look up "edwin musician" on wiki. It's there.

[yellowedith]

@MizzBekyyy23 Google Edwin

[VAC2245]

I love this song, still have the album (the actual cd) and all of it uploaded to my mp3 player. This is one of those songs i could listen to on repeat, over and over and not get tired of it.

[soccerplayer4life11]

This is my funeral song, although i plan on living forever...

[chrykandi]

Omg!

[arclight777]

[tyetygon]

[devster117]

I was listening to this song while doing homework and i was like "Fack this sh*t." I dropped my pencil and ran through the nearest field like a boss

[MyMrBoots]

@devster117 "ran through the nearest field like a boss" LOL

[lori71anne]

@devster117 and you got a janitor job....and we laugh at you......retard

[devster117]

@lori71anne except im in university in a science program????? wtf is ur problem u hating h4x0ring piece of shit

[R2D23P0]

Wow...I really like this. I've never even heasrd of these guys/this guy before (the singer)

[hiromu87]

This song (mainly just the chorus) was played at the end of the first episode of Defying Gravity. One of the best song placements, ever.

[LIVEWIREHANCOCK]

This is my favorite song. This should be everyones favorite song.

[DungeonDawg69]

almost lost and took my own but now it realy is

[autocook16]

29 people don't think it's good to be alive

[DennyMB204]

Beautiful, I wish the world would take notice.

[silverpsychic13]

Perfect song to lift my soul up!

[skitchm1979]

One memory I will always have from the tour... Crash Karma performing this song in Kandahar and the base launched a s%*t load of ground missiles while he was singing "Ain't it good to be alive" the sky lite up with rockets heading out to do justice....the place went mental.... in a good way....

[robbo27100]

@skitchm1979 wow

[robbo27100]

robbo27...wow

[torcanbrampton]

Gives me goosebumps...such an intense song!

[MissHardyOfficial]

I just remembered this song from the 90s. Always loved it. Had forgotten about it for many years. It's just as touching and inspiring as it once was.

[colossus1313]

Edwin is fuckin bartending at a nightclub in toronto called tattoo. i swear to god. i was working a bouncing gig there and i wanted to run up and hug him and scream into his face " WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS INSTEAD OF WRITING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!" don't believe me? go see him

[draconravie]

@colossus1313 NO GODDAMN WAY.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[chetanarjun]

@colossus1313 ....i see your point...but sometime it is good to do different things...and who knows why he chooses to do that?maybee to inspire him?, i believe the music industry is not for everyone....specially for the really creative sensitive people...it is a cut throat world out there....and bar tending is not something "bad"...i am happy to have someone making me my favourite cocktail when i go to a bar...and if EDWIN makes it...!...it might have a little something more!....cheers!

[asha1e1e]

Edwin <3

[itsthegibbons]

Edwin, loved your work with IME, love your voice. But this song has the worst lyrics ever.

[BloodyCrusher]

that was super super super gay...But descent

[viper11blue]

this is when music was actually music

[EbonyWrinkle]

i just got a new girlfriend. This song represents our love. I know its lame but rock it.

[Steveyy999]

@EbonyWrinkle Dude that's not lame at all. It's a song you can apply to any situation in life really, because life is just so good.

[z24god]

@iDENNY1982 Amen

[unstabledavid]

like the song hate the video..wghat makes me think he has a massive ego..but i wouldnt fuck with him seen he's pretty ripped these days

[eznowyrwrong]

28 people dont feel its good to be ALIVE..to feel the sun strong against their face ;)

[JonnyCashmore]

I only came here to remind myself what absolute shit sounds like......

[DemolitionSquid818]

@JonnyCashmore So you were looking for Justin Beiber and accidentally found your way here to Utopia?

[TaniaZXO]

I LOVE this song

[PuKe456]

[DamnItsComing]

[PowerToker420]

[martian1366]

Amazing song and video!!!!!!

[8302linda]

The little girl at 4:08 started her career off in this video and by now has probably been in a snoop dog video shaking her ass or poring milk on herself.

[jooohnney]

i would play that song on my funeral

ain't it good to be alive

[jerodirwin66]

just live it!..your way

[16S3207]

@WoW1323Zeedawg Im atheist mother fucker. I also feel for people in ways you cannot imagine; Have always done so; Even as a sickie; its just a fucking natural reaction to help others you piece of shit; Sick fucks likeyourself with hidden agendas that have to "better their lives"

[juicyyglam]

i forgot what a great song this is

[martian1366]

@juicyyglam so did I!!! Love it!!!

[juicyyglam]

[Adambobro]

this song is def one of my fav songs to listen to from the year 2000. Probably the first Epic song of the new millennium

[chrisflodberg]

cool song...video looks like a nike or soda commercial from the 80's.

[Mavrick1509]

it was so damn hard to find this song, I didn't know what the name was or the singer or anything, for some reason I had one visual part of the video stuck in my head and thats all I had to go on... so glad I found it though it brings many memmories.

[TheCarelessTeens]

@Mavrick1509 same man herd this song when i was young had an urge to find it again so good

[mumhumrocks]

@Mavrick1509 soo weird it was the same thing for me :P

[ungs123]

[NickBrunisch]

[jon55789]

Everyone Loves this video in my VILLAGE YAY!

[Jizyon]

Just love this song of this album ......But what an amazing hits !!! :)

[xsara123]

I really believe in this song's message, it's just how I am, however, the only thing that I ever feel anymore is stress.........lots and lots of stress.

[titanicfuck]

In my darkest time, this song kept me alive.

[Shytobe]

how come there isnt any new songs that are good like this ?> lol

[LIVEWIREHANCOCK]

I love this song and listened to it a lot when I was younger. I finally found it but I always thought it was "ain't it GREAT to be alive" and that he yelled it way more, a little bit disappointing :/

I feel like it would sound so much better with AINT IT GREAT TO BE ALIVEEEEEEEEE

[muybienn]

I remember I used to hate listening to this song because not long after it came out, my sister died in a car accident.

[sackgirl78]

Love this song ♥

[SuperMrONeill]

It's the day of the apocalypse, and I am blasting this at top volume. Why? Because I am alive, Goddammit!

[trailbikerharo]

i must get this song so when i go mountain biking i can feel alivvvvvvvvvvve!!!

[PowerToker420]

i already knew this when i was 8 yeard old but...........this song makes me realise how short life really i dont wanna take anything for granted

[SmallFries01]

WTF happened to canadian music. there is nothing produced like this anymore. its all comercial crap

[trailbikerharo]

@SmallFries01 almost but dont forget about matthew good. another wicked album comming out this may 31st.

[bootht99]

Holy shit! i havent heard this song in years! i just happened to come across it browsing for Sloan songs. The same feeling I get listening to this, I get when do something slow and peaceful i truly love (hiking in the middle of nowhere, canoeing on glass-like water, jogging down a quiet rural highway smelling nothing but the strong smell of canola in late summer....). Ahhh, life is good.

[cebucemagenaitap]

26 people! don't how good it is to be alive and are afraid to die,

[Zoeyuluv]

So beautiful....

[HotRecordingArtist]

I had the same vocal coach as this guy and Our Lady Peace.

She sucks at teaching vocal lessons, these people alreday had

talent!

[MrBigcoreyd]

i remember hearing this song in the hospital after we got into a huge accident with a moose. all 3 of us survived but definitly changed the way we lived our "lives" back then. So this song truely has meaning to us.

[Willysmb44]

First heard this on the short-lived show, "Defying Gravity". Really powerful stuff!

[Streetzisdeathrow]

ever wonder the meaning of life? well to me its nothin but living. experiencing being here, and lovin every moment of it. theres no point in being unhappy for a second of your life, its a waste of time and energy. and it definitely takes some effort, and yeah time too, but if you can constantly see the positive side of things, you'll realize, every moment of life, every single FUCKING second, is beautiful. its beautiful being here, life is a miracle on its own, enjoy it while you can.

[judeyorke]

funny how now fades to then...

[MegaDev2010]

my name is edwin :D

[Edwin123000]

Good song

[BitBitBabiGirl]

i almost died when i went swimmming ( years ago ) and this song came on immediately after. WTF O_O

[jmoon2010]

first time i ever saw this was in gr 7 LA class haha i havent forgotten it since

[DocHoncho]

Awesome song, goofy video. This kind of music is rare, enjoy it.

[supershawn77]

[bsfilmsinc]

Great video

I don't know if I should be singing along or cracking a mountain dew

[Afronadian]

[usayisayletsplay]

[RockBandGivesUWings]

you see songs like these..In the comments there's never any comparison to justin bieber or no swearing... it's just chill

[RockBandGivesUWings]

thing song made me realize how good it is to be alive :)

[DjSyche]

haha just heard this on the radio had to hear it again!!!

[superbad1085]

You know there is something wrong in this world, when a song about killing people by Lil Wayne or Gucci Mane has 10 times more views then this song.

[DjSyche]

@superbad1085 no something is wrong with the world the minute some one names them selves after a bad. To name a bag after you, sure thats respectful way to make a living but the opposite, makes you a panzy.

[superbad1085]

@DjSyche I couldn't comprehend what you were trying to say, it didn't make much sense.

[DjSyche]

@superbad1085 sorry i was referring to gucci mane he is named after a brand name that made their break with bags. buts its cool i was heavily medicated when i was typing

[beefstroganof]

@superbad1085 right on brother!

[PowerToker420]

@superbad1085 it makes me sick human beings are garbage..... imagine how beautiful the planet would be without humans.... humans are a fucking disease

[PowerToker420]

@superbad1085 yeah like i said...... ppl are pathetic

[mitch13777]

@superbad1085 Hell yeah so true!! It's call brain degeneration... lol

[RubiconJohn]

@superbad1085 yes sir. :(

[madhatters8898]

@superbad1085 it's just that people who listen to this can afford to buy the cd ;)

[rtfminc]

oh ya...

[PMAN365]

i thought there'd be ALOT more veiws...

[rainbowpolyester]

Thank you for this you have no idea what this song means to me!!!! Thank you Edwin

[z24god]

@MylesM316

[jamielummiss]

Its good to be alive at a time like this

[abcdefgh1449]

[abcdefgh1449]

i love my grandson baby ethan

[MAPLELEAFSdennis]

Ain't it god to be alive? Can't believe anyone would take their own life when I would give so much to live forever.

[Lloyboy]

Is this the same guy that sang I'll be?

[TheLeprechuan]

@Lloyboy No, that's Edwin McCain.

[CorpseCall]

you might choose to accept the positive message this song radiates or shut it out for whatever reason but, it doesn't change the facts... ...a little piece of loves in everyone...

[chillmeister509]

I'm ashamed of sharing the same name as this guy.

[william8061]

I love this song....The video is so cool!!!

[kimbolimbo1]

This is how I feel....get out there and move!

[BigStickky]

I hate my life

[IIILeX]

@BigStickky you shouldnt

[19wayfarer19]

few songs have such an atmospheric postiveness; im glad i returned to this song after so long, i needed this..

[ericdvds]

it would be the best if he didnt make a gay video, or if he acutally did all the tricks in the video

[ericdvds]

it would be the best if he didnt make a gay video, or uf he acutally did all the tricks in the video

[Soccerchic3000]

Very beautiful song!!!

[yzzistyle]

I LOVE U XX

[shawngretzky]

Edwin has a new band called Crash Karma with ex-members of the Tea Party and OLP. He also released a total of 3 solo albums. Bartending is just a PT gig. It's not his whole life, just something he likes to do. His ego isn't as big as some people claim. He kept a low profile for several years after he left IME. My sister is like that too--she's a registered nurse who also works PT as a restaurant worker. People who can still be humble in spite of the fact that they're "important."

[guystoners]

@shawngretzky your in love

[brent77strickland]

awesome...edwin rules

[buzzador]

love this tune

[halcyon0830]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST

"AND YOU" BY EDWIN

PLEASE POST IT ON YOUTUBE.

Thank you in advance.

[johnnybj2k]

Edwin was I Mother Earth.

[conquestcommando]

good memories with this song... love the bass line. Go Canada!

[gorse1972]

Awesome!!!!

[MAPLELEAFSdennis]

Beautiful song that is far underrated. I wish more people would hear this song because it is truly uplifting.
