2006 single by Flyleaf

"Fully Alive" is a song by the American band Flyleaf, released as the second single from their debut album Flyleaf (2005), in November 2006. It is the third song of the band to have a music video, which features the radio-edit version instead of the album version.

Background

After the joint venture of A&M records and Octone Records, the debut album Flyleaf included the radio-edit version of "Fully Alive", replacing the original album version. For reasons unknown, the music video features the radio edit instead of the album version. The radio-edit version contains a variation of the guitar solo from the album version, along with additional lyrics.

It's about the singer for Trust Company, Kevin, his wife Layla. She's an awesome person, and you would never guess in a million years that she has the struggle that she has. Kinda changed my perspective about the way that I complain about things, the way that I wake up sad for no reason, and then she wakes up just glad to wake up.
