Good to Be Alive is the most famous song from the DJ Rap album Learning Curve and is also featured on the soundtrack of the 1999 movie Go. Its heavy, plodding bass beat and flowing lyrics make it stand out from DJ Rap's typical fast-paced drum and bass style. Because of the noticeable difference between the album version and the radio remix of the song (the album version was slower and deeper, while the radio remix was more of an upbeat club song), two different music videos were released. The album version (directed by David Slade) featured DJ Rap in a futuristic sci-fi setting with people trapped in red capsules (like in the Matrix movies). The radio remix version (directed by Jeff Richter) featured DJ Rap mixing and dancing in a club environment.
Famous quotes containing the words alive and/or rap:
“All over France, in every city there stand cathedrals like this one, triumphant monuments of the past. They tower over the homes of our people like mighty guardians, keeping alive the invincible faith of the Christian. Every arch, every column, every statue is a carved leaf out of our history, a book in stone, glorifying the spirit of France.”
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
“You killed me, Margo. I’m not taking the rap for you.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
