Excerpt: "I'm Alive" is the title of a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Kenny Chesney. He wrote the song with Dean Dillon and Mark Tamburino, and it was first recorded by Willie Nelson on his album Moment of Forever, which Chesney also produced. Chesney himself later recorded it (as a duet with Dave Matthews) on the 2008 album Lucky Old Sun. This version later appeared on his 2009 Greatest Hits II album, from which it was released to radio in August 2009. Later that year, a separate version featuring only Chesney was released. Willie Nelson first recorded the song on his 2008 album Moment of Forever, which Kenny Chesney co-produced. Chesney later recorded the song as a duet with Dave Matthews on Lucky Old Sun (also released in 2008), but did not release it as a single from that album. Chesney told Country Standard Time, "It was never meant to be some kind of a message except to maybe myselfIt's one thing when Willie Nelson at 70 sings it, and something totally different when Dave and I do. One is from a place of really knowing; for us, it was more just the fact that we realize it." He also said that he was inspired to write the song after his divorce from actress Renee Zellweger: "Writing that song was a release. It was the best I'd felt in a long time after I wrote that song." CM Wilcox of The 9513 gave the song a thumbs-down review. He said that the song had "somewhat ambitious" lyrics, and made note of Matthews' vocal performance, but said that Chesney sounded like a "workaday singer..".http: //booksllc.net/?id=23913521
