I'm Alive (The Hollies song)

"I'm Alive" is a 1965 number-one UK hit single by the Hollies,^[3] written for them by American songwriter Clint Ballard Jr.^[2] Although they originally passed the song over to another Manchester band, the Toggery Five, they changed their minds and recorded it, achieving their first No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart. It spent three weeks at number one in the UK and was also a No. 1 hit in Ireland.^[4] The song was released as a single in the US, entering the Cash Box singles chart on July 17, 1965, and peaking at No. 84 week of August 14, 1965,^[5] and it also appears on the US version of the 1965 Hollies album, Hear! Here!.

Cash Box described it as "a low-key, rhythmic romancer about a lad who's on cloud [nine] since he met the girl of his dreams."^[6]
