"I'm Alive" by Peter Howe (1971)

"I'm Alive" by Peter Howe
--from the film Morning of the Earth (1971)

Look around at the day
IÍm alive on being around
Where the waves come smiling
With curls all flying
Yeah we spend a lot of time
Inside the world of delightful rain
And the whirling wind blows itÍs song
Around the bay
And the whirling wind knows my name


Morning of the Earth is a 1971 classic surf film by Alby Falzon and David Elfick.
The film's soundtrack was produced by G. Wayne Thomas and included music and songs by noted Australian music acts Tamam Shud, John J. Francis, Brian Cadd and G. Wayne Thomas. The record became the first Australian Gold soundtrack album. The film portrays surfers living in spiritual harmony with nature, making their own boards (and homes) as they travelled in search of the perfect wave across Australia's north-east coast, Bali and Hawaii.

This song, for me, was the highlight of the Morning Of The Earth concert in Newcastle 24/1/12. Gyan's voice was absolutely delightful!
