I'm Alive (Electric Light Orchestra song)


"I'm Alive" is a song by the Electric Light Orchestra, released as a single in May 1980. It is featured in a sequence near the beginning of the feature film Xanadu. The song also appears on the soundtrack album Xanadu.
In the film the song is heard as the Muses emerge from a graffiti-like portrait; Olivia Newton-John, playing Kira, emerges last. The film's version of the song contains a fairly lengthy instrumental introduction, a small segment of which is used for the album version.
The single's B-side, "Drum Dreams", is also featured in the film at the beginning of the Xanadu nightclub grand opening scene and segues into the movie title song; however, it does not appear on the soundtrack album. "Drum Dreams" was also used as the B-side of the "All Over the World" single.
