Paul Carrack - Love Will Keep Us Alive Lyrics






I was standing all alone against the world outside
You were searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry love will keep us alive

Don't you worry, sometimes you've just got to let it ride
The world is changing right before your eyes
Now I've found you there's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry love will keep us alive

I would die for you, climb the highest mountain
Baby there's nothing I wouldn't do, for you

Now I've found you there's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry love will keep us alive

I would die for you [etc.]

Paul Carrack Love Will Keep Us Alive Comments
  1. m.... m....

    Just heard him do an awesome rendition of this on BBC Radio 2 Jan2020. How has this song passed me by until now, as a fan of both the Eagles, for whom he wrote it, and him?

    m.... m....

    The same reason I came here

    m.... m....

    You can still listen to that version on BBC sound for a little longer. Michael Ball show. 54mins in

  2. W.... ....

    I LOVE the Eagles but Paul Carrack, being one of the song writers, can do this song the best, in my opinion.

  3. L.... C....

    This is better than the Eagles' original, IMHO. Not often that a cover surpasses the original. But Paul nails it!

    L.... C....

    The Eagles did the cover. Paul wrote this one with Pete and Jim

    Were Ever we Go There is wind in our Backs! Working track from a new album in the works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD8dWzcYVgA&fbclid=IwAR3XByEnquO5zlAw-ewxWUh33vzyJuzLppN_ZMh1r2H8gF7GuYR8dndZy6I

  6. d.... ....

    That intro, Sly Family stone, everyday people.

  7. r.... k....

    Carrack's original version is a White Soul version, while Timothy's version is just White. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    r.... k....

    Nah, it's not race related in the slightest. Just a swingy version and a slower straight version.

  8. n.... ....

    Before the Eagles got back together in 1994 There was a group that was beggining to form where this song was borne out of. That band never got to record or play publically together. That band was Paul Carrack Jim Capaldi Don Felder Timothy B Schmit and Joe Walsh. Irving Azoff called and that was the end of it. Wish it could have happened.

    n.... ....

    That would've been fantastic. Too bad it didn't happen! I bet they could've made great hits.

  9. m.... g....

    This was my husband and mines wedding song, love it!

  10. L.... F....

    Paul has an almost indecent amount of talent. Can do almost any song in any style and do it brilliantly. A superb artist.

  11. K.... B....

    Th best version I have heard of this song, and the best way t play it..

    K.... B....

    Try the version where he duets with Timothy B Schmitt. On YouTube (picture of little boy)

  12. B.... V....

    Paul had hits with 3 bands, a solo hit and wrote hits for others! Fueda Paul Fueda!!

    B.... V....

    Also played keyboard with (Nick Lowe and his cowboy hats)

  13. j.... ....

    Great Voice Great Song----GREAT!!!

  14. D.... M....

    Great Lyrics. Music takes me somewhere else...I'm looking for a word...hauntingly Beautiful...oops, that,s a phrase.

  15. Y.... S....

    wonderfulllll....

  16. o.... p....

    Awsome...Thanks Paul...this version is so soulful and groovy..cheers

  18. P.... M....

    motownish

  19. S.... S....

    Awesome Paul, a much better version than Timothy B. Schmidt.

    S.... S....

    Steve Stunning , I am in total agreement. paul sings it. 5imothy sCmitt just huma the melody.

  20. s.... r....

    best feel on this song ever

  21. A.... H....

    Captured!!!! it's something if we are lucky we will find that love that not only find it but also keeps us alive.

    A.... H....

    i like!!

    A.... H....

    Love love love this. ....

  22. N.... W....

    Great version, however, no one can sing this song better than Timothy B. Schmit, in my opinion.

    N.... W....

    +Nick Wells even the guy that wrote it ?

    N.... W....

    +Fran Calo Well, the Eagles version with Schmit doing lead vocals from the Hell freezes over album is the version that I'm familiar with, that's all.

    N.... W....

    No one can sing very few songs better than Timothy B. Schmit. What a voice!

  23. S.... M....

    What album did this version on??

    S.... M....

    Blue Views (released in '96)...

  24. I.... S....

    He said he would..but he didnt....:(

  25. M.... B....

    The best version!!!

  26. T.... G....

    Grew up listening to mike and the mechanics. when i was around 5-6 (1997) all i remember of music is listening to the album beggar on a beach of gold, day in and day out, & R.E.M my mother loved them aha

    Anyways.. i've always been a mike and the mechanics fan but I'm so glad that i decided to search for the mike and the mechanics vocalist that stood out, SO glad i found that paul carrack did solo stuff. Hooked ever since.

    Looking forward to seeing Paul again live sometime!

  34. M.... ....

    Yes, Paul Carrack wrote Over My Shoulder with Mike Rutherford.
