Stella Cole - Being Alive from Company at 54 Below

[RobertClaessens]

Urgency! That’s what got me in this performance. It was on point, beautifully sung and with urgency, believing every single word.

I don’t have context as to know why this song hit you this hard on stage, but it most certainly hit me. Totally impressive. We all want to you to be the star of our generation. Congrats on being honest and powerful.

Sitting there that night I was thinking…this must be how people felt when they first saw Barbra many years ago at the Duplex. Stella was PERFECTION. ❤

[lacokaca]

People will always remember how you made them feel, which is undoubtedly ALIVE. ❤ Thanks for sharing your angelic gift of voice.

LYRICS:


Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
To ruin your sleep
and make you aware

Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
To put you through hell
and give you support

Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want you to share
A little, a lot...
of being alive
being alive

Someone to crowd you with love
Someone to force you to care
Someone to make you come through
Who'll always be there
As frightened as you
Of being alive
Being alive, being alive, being alive

Somebody hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too deep
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive, being alive

Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive
Make me alive
Make me alive

Make me confused
Mock me with praise
Let me be used
Vary my days
But alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you
To help us survive
Being alive, being alive
Being alive!
