Joe Cocker - I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today (LIVE) HD

Alabama Hall, Munich, Germany

30 September 1982

Composers : Joe Sample, Will Jennings

Lyrics :

There were times, I remember,
Had to fight just to hold my head up
Those times when even my friends
Tried to make a fool of me
There were things that my heart looked at
That they just couldn't see

Some said I was hopeless
Mind tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin',yea,
And that is why I'm still standing here today

Chorus :

Come together
Raise up your voices
This time my song of love and life won't go away
I'll sing forever here in the sunshine
I've lived to see the sun break through the storm
And I'm so glad I'm standing here today

If your lost in your troubles
And the world just seems to forget you
If you remember sunshine
Even on your darkest day
Follow what your heart says
And you will find the way

Some said I was hopeless
Mind tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin'
That is why I'm still standing here today

Chorus x 2

I've lived to see the sun break through the storm
And I'm so glad I'm standing here...today

[Labradorite_Honu]

Such a powerful message of hope from one who's walked through those darkest paths, and can now see the future and know the worst is over and done. For those of us still wrestling with our demons, this song has so much hope and meaning. Today, I am grateful Joe Cocker and his music, and the Crusaders.

[jasoncarpp]

I love Joe Cocker. I can relate to what he's singing. I've felt hopeless many times over the years.

[suezque]

This song tells me that where there is life there is hope. Don't count anyone out.

[michaellunburg]

Joe was sick during this show and still blew everyone away. This song belongs to the great Joe Cocker

What a perfomance....this man is the best...can feel all the emotion. Thanks too to the CRUASADERS. The story behind this song is probably more remarkable.

[Belinda]

Love this man. He has the most magnificent gravely voice. I have all of his albums. The Wax ones.

Letra, musica, interpretação e voz, simplesmente exemplar! Joe Cocker foi genial! Amo Joe Cocker!

[Cozsmik]

'I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today' was written by the Crusaders with Joe Cocker in mind. It was a message of hope and survival after Joe over-came alcohol addiction. Joe agreed to sing the song on the Crusaders track and the rest is history. Greatness like Joe Cocker and the Crusaders can perform any category of artistic music composition and it becomes a hit.
