about

The only constant thing in life is change. Everyone has a halcyon, golden age in their memory or perceived memory they'd like to return to, but did those those days ever really exist? And even if they did, could you ever get them back?

'Are You Alive?' looks at this question and wonders how much of the present we waste focusing on the past.

And for indie britpop fans, check out the killer guitar riff.

Kinda Revolver-inspired pop rock written, performed, recorded and mixed by Gavin Lazarus.

lyrics

Are You Alive

Would I survive if they took me back
I’m never going back
Would I arrive at the things I lack
I’m never going back
Would I derive all the peace I crave
I’m never going back
Would I revive or just misbehave
I’m never going back

The days you hanker for
Are days you never saw
Cause they never were
We imagined them
Yes we made quite sure
We configured them

Would you be lost in a golden haze
You’re never going back
Would you discover the ancient ways
You’re never going back
Could you be sure that the sun would shine
You’re never going bac
Could you be sure that what’s yours is mine
You’re never going back

The days you hanker for
Are days you never saw
Cause they never were
We imagined them
Yes we made quite sure
We configured them

Are you alive to the life you live
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
(You’re never going back)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
(You’re never going back)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
(You’re never going back)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
(You’re never going back)
Are you alive to the life you live
(Are you alive)
Are you alive to the life you live
