“So Alive” is from Love and Rockets’ 1989 self titled album and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Love and Rockets guitarist Daniel Ash, who, just freshly married, saw a woman from across the room at a party and was so fascinated by her that he wrote the song. Daniel has said in interviews that he didn’t allow himself to get close enough to her to talk her, but she left such an impression, he wrote the song.
