"Still Alive" by Jonathan Coulton, originally sung by Ellen McLain. Piano arrangement and not entirely competent playing by Jeremy Sear, who blogs at http://anonymouslefty.wordpress.com and http://whengamessuck.wordpress.com

Yeah, well, I got it stuck in my head. This seemed like a good way to exorcise it.

PS Yes, I'm aware there are two or three bodgy notes in the playing, including a shaky first note. It warms up, but it's a long time since I've practised regularly and my fingers don't work the keyboard like they used to! Kids, do your scales.

[NOTE: Sorry, but I have not transcribed any sheet music for this, so I don't have any to give out. You'll either have to figure it out by watching what keys my fingers hit, or use the chords Coulton has subsequently posted on his blog. Good luck!]

UPDATE 27/2/2008: A gentleman named Kenny has emailed me the link to a pdf he's done with a version of the sheet music - http://www.steamgames.com/v/img/whats...

    Wrong tempo, timing is off, poor video/sound quality.

    I sang along the whole entire time in my head and I don't think it's too fast? I thought it was spot on. :) Great cover!
