Trivia/Info
- John Flansburgh on the song's meaning, from Tumblr:
I guess the best explanation of "Good to Be Alive" is the simplest—the song isn't a metaphor for another thing—it really is about the burden of physical injury and the strange, slowly-evolving pleasure of recovery. Maybe we should let the mystery be, but that's it!
