Just The Fact That You Are Alive*


Just The Fact That You Are Alive*

It’s crazy all the moments that had to go right
Just for you to be here alive
Every single little piece
Or I could be you and you could be me
I’ve written over 3000 songs
And I write about this a lot
It’s something that is on
My mind an awful lot
An amoeba wiggling down in the depths
To an ancestor beating his chest
To your parents and them doing the deed
It feels like an impossibility
So just the fact that you are alive
Doesn’t add up if you run it over your mind
And life is so hard, from the moment you fall
I think it’s random, no reason at all
And then I think about the planets out there
The universe expanding in every direction
What kinds of forces are guiding us
Way out there just beyond detection
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at
