Lyrics:
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here; "Huge success"

It's hard to overstate
My satisfaction

Aperture Science:
We do what we must
Because we can

For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying
Over every mistake
You just keep on trying
Till you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are
Still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart,
And killed me

And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you

Now, these points of data
Make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta
We're releasing on time
So I'm GLaD I got burned
Think of all the things we learned-
For the people who are
Still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I'd prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you?
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance*

Anyway this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist

Look at me: still talking
When there's science to do
When I look out there,
It makes me GLaD I'm not you

I've experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are
Still alive
And believe me I am
Still alive
I'm doing science and I'm
Still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm
Still alive
While you're dying I'll be
Still alive
And when you're dead I will be
Still alive

Still alive

Happy new year for 2018! And congratulations for making it through 2017 - you're *still alive*.

[uspavacka]

Portal 1 and 2 are my most favourite games. This is amazing. If you could do "Want you gone", that would be just awesome.

[thenamesgames]

Damn, i don’t think you guys can screw up at this point anymore! This channel is perfect!

[gunnar_k]

“Maybe you’ll find someone else
To help you.
Maybe Black Mesa?
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA.
FAT CHANCE.”
God I love GLaDOS

[wafflesaber]

I synced this up with the original song.

*YES.*
10/10 would reccomend

[toasterstrooder]

I swear, I don't think that this channel has had one cover on it that isn't absolutely wonderful. My only issue with them is that they're almost always hard arrangements. I'd prefer that there was more variety in the difficulty levels of these pieces, since I'd love to actually play some of them.

That being said, they're still great, and I'll probably purchase a few of the sheets that you guys have made anyway. Keep up the great work, and happy new year!

[imogenjohnson]

I live for this channel, there's always so many wonderful arrangements of pieces I love! Can't wait for the sheets on this one!

Lyrics? What? Sure.

Still alive, still alive

And when you're dead, I will be still alive
Still alive, still alive...

[turk]

Happy New Year man, keep up the fantastic work!

[Possibly_E]

Listened to this before the release of Portal RTX, and it was the best song to listen to at the time.

[dabrogo]

Just finished playing portal 1. Hearing this song and then immediately seeing that you guys have made a piano cover for it really made my day. Really amazing cover, thank you so much for making this.

[Monemeister]

Youre making the best piano music ever

[KidusYohannes]

Really happy this was done. I loved playing portal and especially this song at the end.

[metaldragon]

I love how you are using only piano sounds no effects of other instruments. Keep it up like that ! Absolute Love!!

[duality]

I love how this beautifully made, wonderful and almost whimsical song is about literal murder.

[nopentireiii]

I admire how the song emphasizes the importance of moving on and not crying over every setback.

[kiwi-senpai]

Portal is a very nostalgic game for me. I remember watching my dad play it back in 2011/2012 and then when I got older I played it and loved it.

[curtisfoo]

This is so beautiful it’s motivating me to try and finish Portal 2 again

[thomasdimarco]

How about staying alive by the beegees? Loved it
Edit: oops sorry guys didn't know
