Staying Alive is hard-grade construction — similar to the Girls. The upper arms remain soft-grade to prevent them from popping out (aka “rocket punches”) when the arms are raised.
Staying Alive — the immortal who reminds us that life’s worth isn’t measured in years, but in how deeply you choose to live them.
Staying Alive isn’t about clinging to life — he’s about making it worth living. Immortality taught him something most people forget: you can spend forever in the shadows, safe but empty… or you can step into the light and actually live — even if it stings a little.
After centuries of playing it safe, he discovered something worse than pain: emptiness. Now, he chooses differently. Staying Alive is about daring to chase the moments that make your chest ache and your spirit ignite — the kind of life that’s messy, thrilling, and deeply felt.
He teaches us that a life padded in comfort may last longer, but a life filled with passion, purpose, and risk is infinitely richer. Because sometimes, truly staying alive means letting yourself feel everything — the highs, the heartbreaks, the laughter, the fear — and realizing it was all worth it.
Notes!
The Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” was released on December 13, 1977 — not quite within the 80s theme we’re going for, but close enough, especially since it came out shortly after I was born ;-)
His theme resonates with me deeply — something I live by day to day, especially at my age when time feels like it’s running out ;-)
