For the song Alive, I have chosen to get away from text a bit and share my impression of the song through a mashup film which can be viewed below.

  1. Excellent job on the movie. I didn't know anything about Pearl Jam or Alive yet still enjoyed it. I especially liked the movie playing on the guitar in the beginning. Nice effect.

    I want to be someone who imparts hope to those hurting, wounded adolescents in my classes. After all, I was one, and I'm alive! The film and the song remind me of what's important. Thanks.

  4. Great video, BZ. I love the pictures of you as a kid where they are one year after another...you looked just like your little one does!

    I also love the screaming at the top of my lungs and feeling a rush everytime I hear it. Hey is that grass and flowers around the alive guy new?

  5. Thanks every one. It was a pleasure to make this little film.

    Yes, Ivan, the pics were in a bit of a chronological order, and yes the leaves and grass are new. They are meant to be a Bhodhi tree. I will leave you to work out that metaphor.
