Music Monday – Life Is Beautiful by Sixx:A.M. (2017, 10th Anniversary Edition)

Hey everyone!

It’s time for another Music Monday! Once again, Alex will be choosing this week’s song, because we are still in lockdown… For this week’s song, he has chosen Life Is Beautiful by Sixx:A.M (2017, 10th Anniversary Edition).

Music Monday was created by Drew over on The Tattooed Book Geek.

Life Is Beautiful by Sixx:A.M. (2017, 10th Anniversary Edition)

Life Is Beautiful is the first single released from Sixx:A.M.’s 2007 soundrack for The Heroin Diaries. It is also the band’s debut single. But, in 2017, the band released a 10th Anniversary Edition of the album (and the book), and this version of the song is a lot more chilled out, and rather beautiful.

For those of you who don’t know, Sixx:A.M. is founded by legendary Mötley Crüe bassist, Nikki Sixx. The Heroin Diaries is his book, documenting his struggle with drugs.

Lyrics

You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can’t breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don’t
I’ve done things that you won’t
There’s nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Alive…
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?
