[basehead617]

one of the creepiest songs to ever hit the pop charts..

[Avarella100406]

STILL LOVE THIS SONG! LIKE HIS HAIR TOO!

[SecondRisingSun]

sweet dweems... :)

[AaronMThomason]

I really hated this when it came out. You have to understand i was listening to Bauhaus, Tones on Tail&L&R in high school. Then this song came out and a cheerleader in my class sang this! It made me sick! I was a really big fan of Daniel Ash and he sold out like this. Now it sounds okay, but then, I was really pissed, Lol!

[drogheda1966]

@AaronMThomason Me, too, man. The video did not help. I was left scratching my head and thinking, 'WHY?'. Did they suddenly get into bed with Robert Palmer? No wonder grunge started rearing its horrorhead.

[sallybee19]

Drove into a spooky forest late one night listening to Day of the Dead by the Church. Got spooked by a fallen tree and a giant spider landing on our wind shield so we turned around and drove out again listening to this song, So Alive! We were glad to survive. ; )

[LoaDirector]

i heard this song first time on "the rules of attraction" movie, and i fall in love with it!! soooo sexy!!

[ThePabloemery]

@LoaDirector that whole scene totally turned me on, the song was perfect

[BetoTamayo01]

This is one damn sexy song!!!!!!

[youraverageuser]

great tune

[Mr13born79]

I got laid last night after a long dry spell... This is my anthem for awhile....

[DaveWollenberg]

L and R hit #3 in Billboard, 8-5-89. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[SecondRisingSun]

my head is full of magic baby, and can share this with you... feels like im on the cross again... im alive. if you want in, u give me what i need.

[nl881]

Thanks for posting this. You Tube keeps deleting this song. Hard to find.

[BartDaCat]

They used this song for a hot little scene between Ian Somerhalder and James Van Der Beek in "Rules of Attraction". I was kind of blown away that they had dragged this song out for the scene, but most of Bret Easton Ellis's storys are retro 80's, so it made sense.

It's bizzare how members of Bauhaus evolved (or devolved) once Bauhaus broke up, but Tones on Tail and Love + Rockets definitely created some great music in the 80's.

[dj22or8y]

I liked this song in the 80's and I still like it in 2011.

[silverwolf2061]

great song

[marlboro69able]

bauhaus same



[activereasoner]

Thanks! Favorited.

[trentigalaxy]

bauhaus?

[TheMate01]

Those legs look like they would break way too easily.

[daypeshmodd]

@odinmp5 I know your post is old, but I asked the same question on another music page. I'd go back to 79 (for end of punk + beginning of ska & new wave). That way we'd have the whole best decade of all, which would include So Alive (live).

[odinmp5]

@daypeshmodd dont worrie,, ..while we solve the time travleing problem feel free to post.!!

[daypeshmodd]

@odinmp5 I always do. Incedently, there is a vid of this song live on YouTube, but it's a rehearsal, and it's badly filmed. You must have seen it anyways.

[vf74tomcat]

@daypeshmodd I'd love to go back to 79 and relive all that great music again! Best times of my life were from about 79-86.

[SecondRisingSun]

making it all happen for you... im alive... ;)

[AlexKrisopher]

i love the guys hair!!!

[plcj80]

I farted. 

Awesome song.

[juancarlos4592]

Es electrisante.. lo mas fuerte en sonido musical..

[jrquist404]

Those legs look unnaturally skinny

[moonatikat]

this song makes me want to be a table-dancer

[Simon4642]

@moonatikat make sure your it has strong legs

[SecondRisingSun]

im alive

[dariowestern]

Beautiful but eerie song, somewhere between T-Rex, Prince, and The Cure. Still sounds great today. :-)

[barbaraannish1]

@dariowestern Good analysis.

[explodingfruit1]

its horrible compared to Bauhaus. It shows how they needed Peter Murphy. I remember buying the LP back then and hated it

[kissklassics]

struttin makes me crazy makes me see more clearly

[SecondRisingSun]

my head is full of magic... IM ALIVE!!!!

[twobit1000]

 i like this classic 80's song its a great song thanx for uploading tcb

[AdamG1983]

I hear this on Slacker Radio's "80's Alternative" station at work and turn it the fuck up. My coworkers must think I'm odd as fuck BAHAHA.

[TheE1961]

@AdamG1983 If your into music your going to get that alot from co-worker's (speaking from experience).The way i deal with it is by tellin them to kiss my "Rockin"ass but there's a line up,to do so.

[genxgina]

@AdamG1983 it's awesomeness! these guys are all crazy and sexy! yeah, peter murphy's the shit and his fuck me eyes are ridiculous, but this was some cool shit! ;) <3

[jasfromoz]

I was in the School of Infantry at San Onofre, Camp Pendleton. This song was ALWAYS playing on the jukebox at the pizza joint.

[NathraTV]

im alive

[Jo1978march]

this takes me back 2 1989 when i just discovered rock and pop music and started really listening to radio - especially community radio. i had the most awesome portable silver stereo that could pick up AM/FM and SW (Short Wave) ......i first heard this song on a Shepparton (Australian country town) radio station called ThreeOne FM. it changed my life 4eva. i went in2 community radio and neva looked back.

[SPACEBOSS68]

@satoshi Great song! I remember when this came out. Pretty good job with the lyrics. Two thing tho, it's "I can share this with you" and "I feel like I'm on the Cross again, lately" Keep posting :)

[Ypipable]

If you approach it intentionally, you'll miss it...and get a free drink.

[salsollo]

all look so blue when we're coming down!

and all look so yellowish when we're so alive!

Daniel ash loves and rocks

[MrPageyzoso]

I met Daniel Ash when Bauhaus opened for NIN...he was such a sweet man!!

[cassiusjb]

I've always thought those legs were grotesquely thin.

[irontoad30]

I've always liked this song but have never sought it out for listening... but for some reason, yesterday and today it's burrowed it's way into my consciousness like crazy, demanding to have multiple listens... Lately I'm almost convinced music has a life of it's own, it seeks us out, not the other way around...

Someone send me a message, let's talk about music!

[bolmsp]

LG ripped off the bauhaus logo grrrr !!!!

[losertini]

This song has always made me feel...naughty. Even hearing it on the radio for the first time as a kid, it felt forbidden, like taking a peek at late-night Cinemax.

[charlottevard]

LOVE it!

[GreekGuy9999]

Killer bass riff at 3:24.

[FisandCram]

Rules of Attraction... good song in a good movie.

[maurice9966]

BALL OF CONFUSION... ;)

[AJWelch111]

I'd LOVE to!!!

[megarog5]

I play it 20 times a day,.

great song.

[yescamexicana]

It took me forever to figure out who sang this song n the name of the song. its a great song...

[PowerWes]

@yescamexicana"... I feel I am on A CROSS again....", you know, like Jesus? Not "on across"....

Sorry for replying instead of posting a separate comment.... it is giving me an error, and I can't

[evergray]

I love dancing to this song! Can't help but note that the legs in the video do not look very strong at all, however, haha.

[murdocthedestroyer]

I love this song!! It's going to be stuck in my head as long as i live!!

[yetibiker08]

Living in the 80's and Loving the 80's oh how I miss the clubs that played the current Euro beats during that time!! Anyone here been to Fire and Ice in Miami during the 80's?

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #51 hit of '89, L&R hit #3 pop, #9 rock, in the US. How'd it chart in the UK? God bless! My love for Christ is so alive!

[newcreation81]

dont he look like Crispen Glover? (George McFly from Back to the Future)

[nukecat]

@newcreation81 are you high?lol i dont see the resemblance.

[amateurshooter]

Such a seductive song - love it!

[twistedsaltmine]

I heard this song soooo much in the 80's I thought I would become sic of it, no I did not L & R ROCK HARD ASS!!!!

[BahmanG]

love and rockets' first three albums are one of my favorite albums of all time. But I was really disappointed with this song and the album. It sounds like bad LA rock of the 80s.

[DeusexEvolution]

u wabba sniff dirty panties

[sandrajkko]

Soooooo many incredible memories associated with this song! Still is NOTHING to compare with them.

[johnnyarockalypse]

one of my best karaoke songs!

[lindz4nicky]

brilliant,im so alive whoooo whoooo ,,oooooooooomore,plz

[Logarithmic33]

I don't think this song is a "masterpiece" per se, but it is definitely a well produced song (no surprise given it's L&R!) and hypnotic. I understand why there is backlash when compared against some of the band's other work, but it's enjoyable in its own right and I'm thankful as its radio time opened to me a world of Love and Rockets that may otherwise have gone unnoticed. Cheers. :)

[cambro64]

@Logarithmic33 : I agree but I have to say, this album as a whole, was AWSOME!

[937emotion]

@Logarithmic33 In other words, push play & enjoy.

[latviancimmerian]

best song. damn i couldnt find it forever. kept typing im a alive instead of so alive. ended up getting celin dione

[TheHelder1976]

Suddenly memories come to me, that I no longer remembered that i had, memories of things i did while listening to this song, things that i cant say here and now ...

[FregosoArturo]

Loooong time ago... great memories  and still is such a sexy gig !!!

[vegasjk27]

This was huge back in the day when MTV used to actually play music vids. Love this group! Sexy song!

[yoramvh]

master piece 

[AJWelch111]

This song is grrrrrreat to strip (for your man) to!!

[TheMistermuppet]

@AJWelch111 would you strip for me? i have this somwhere on a mixed tape. whaddya say?

[Lichbane1]

there is nothing like the 80's all the other stuff in 90's and after 2000 sucks.

[antblue363]

This song is sung really well !

[79jolene]

baby, sing it to me.

[HOUSExOFxLORDS]

So beautiful song, so alive...

[ssaallttyyddaawwgg]

vodka induced memory soundtrack #2

[PhiZappaCrappa]

How many anorexic models hadda try out for the leg shots?

[yamsid]

This is one of the most visceral songs ever recorded.

[rockedheart1]

[LordNecron69]

My Head is Full of Magick Baby

[nanaimojenny]

[RPRMASTER]

una rechimba de canción muy sexy

[kozmo820]

have you seen what dan ash looks like now ,,,, ouch!

[silviamn]

Me pregunto, si alguna chica de las que trabajan en un "table", se le habrá ocurrido meter en su repertorio ésta canción???....se me hace demasiado sexy y creo que quedaría bien.

[kneapoe51]

Man...I've been looking for this! One of the smoothest, soulful, hypnotic & ( last but surely not least ) S.E.X.Y. tunes out of the 80's or any other era. Timeless. Takes me straight to 89 , 30yrs. old & how many times this set/started the " activities "& re-set, re-started & re l.o.l.set, ect...ect. MERCY!......Lyrically: " Your legs are strong and they're so so long " & " I feel I'm on top again, baby that's got everything to do with you oo oo , I'm alive, so alive". THAT sums it up. G.POST!

[HatshepsutPan]

One of THE sexiest songs from the 80's!!!

[hinaxio]

cada vez me gusta mas

[Jacbyl]

Świetny kawałek

[69ablegenevieve]

This song spoke to me then and speaks to me now......

[Bucs211]

I can taste the Summer of 1989 when i hear this song!

[sveikasveta]

@Bucs211

[AJWelch111]

@Bucs211 ....ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[BahmanG]

@Bucs211 I graduated from high school that summer. and I saw Love and Rockets on tour, by themselves and opening up for The Cure.

[yetibiker08]

@BahmanG

Ooooh The Cure, they put on a great show too for I saw them in Phoenix, Arizona in 1994 and The The opened for them!!

[kavidog]

Nothing comes close to the artistic talent produced in the 80's......Viva New Wave!

[kavidog]

Nothing comes close to the artistic talent produced in the 80's......Viva New Wave!

[henryvamp]

Daniel Ash is so hot!!!!

[luv6pup]

[Jo1978march]

[MonsterMack626]

[MrBoro53]

[monopthalmoss]

[noveltyme]

Great pop tune that still gets play to this day.

[skinnypuppy75]

Skeletons in nylons!

[Tink2127]

This was on the radio a few days ago and I pounced on my boyfriend! This is one of the sexiest songs EVER! I've loved it since I was a kid and now it's like an afrodisiac!

[bulmer13]

That's awesome. God, I love you.

[Tink2127]

@bulmer13 Thanks...lol! He loved me too- so much that he has made it a point to make a CD of songs that I find sexy for future use...lmao!

[bulmer13]

@Tink2127 share the playlist...good stuff.

[MonsterMack626]

@Tink2127 You're right!

[zacek1970]

Miss the 80's.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit#3 pop, #9 rock in the US. How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[hydromorph1965]

I adore Women!!!!!!

[recordlabelskill]

This whole disc kicks ass.

[mynameisnotkenneth]

nice tune

[latviancimmerian]

wtf were'd this song come from. freakin sweet.

[fatpizzaman]

@niaburks there are a chain of strip clubs in my town of Brisbane called Love & Rockets, not sure if they were named as a tribute to the band though.

[Gore3]

La canción más elegante del mundo!!!

[KennedyRules28]

I love this tune, favorite from the 80's for sure:)

[duranmania]

me encanta esta canción!!!

[mimozo69]

@duranmania MAS TE VA A ENCANTAR LA MIA B============D

[Goodsinwoods]

Not the deepest song in the world! Think L&R missed Pete M's lyrical/ singing edge...

[SirSleezy]

im alive

[zacek1970]

THIS SONG DOESN'T SUCK!! i'M FROM THIS TIME AND i LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[aidenandstorm]

I love it! :D

[BahmanG]

This song ruined it. I was a huge love and rockets fan but this song and the album on which it was featured, marked their decline. I was 16 and this song really broke my heart, but not in a good way.

[SuperDebbie1970]

INXS suck and so does U2, but these guys rock.... just my opinion...... but this song reminds me of the summer when My bestie and I had no kids and were free and young..... oh the 80's how I love ya

[2012TheMessiah]

@SuperDebbie1970

have to disagree with you there I like INXS and U2 just as much as these guys

[MrJOVIEDO]

icono 80's

[razzryda]

reminds me inxs

[acidicchick1]

I'd turn this song up full-blast even w/ a migraine...

[exionem]

So similar to Michael Hutchence (INXS) , very similar style..

Did I say sexy?

[MonsterMack626]

Everytime I hear this song, it always gets me so horny.

[emilioless]

this song is misterious....this guy looks satanic....ghotic...but is a amazsing hit...I love the intro...

[AmandaRules4ever]

what year did this song come out? It's awesome!

[comeon224]

great groove. someone really should do a mash-up with this and "Addicted to Love." Call it So Addicted To Love.
