Man Alive may refer to:
Man Alive is an Israeli punk rock band, formed in 1999 in Jerusalem, by members Jamie Hilsden on vocals and guitar, Jeremy Boyd on bass guitar and Joel Hilsden on drums.
The band was formed by vocalist and guitarist Jamie Hilsden, bassist Jeremy Boyd and drummer Joel Hilsden. The band was later accompanied by second guitarist Bethany Ridings.
In 2000, a year after forming, after Boyd and Ridings left the band, Jon Shkedi joined to play bass and Dave Shkedi joined to play guitar. Later, Joel left and was replaced briefly by Matthew R C Smith on drums before Yair Braun came on board.
The band quickly gained popularity in the Israeli punk scene, and decided to try to play outside of the country. While touring between Israel and the United States, the band independently released two albums, which helped build the band a fanbase in Europe, North America and Japan. In 2005, record producer Ed Rose (The Get Up Kids, Motion City Soundtrack) produced the band's third full length, Open Surgery, their most popular album to date. After the release of the album the band went on an extensive tour and in 2006 played more than 220 shows in North America and over 30 in Europe, including the Warped Tour.
Man Alive is the fourth full-length album by the Israeli punk rock band of the same name. It was released February 26, 2008 on B& Recordings in the United States and Europe. The album was released via High Fiber Productions in Israel and Bullion Records in Japan.
After the band's breakthrough 2005 album, Open Surgery, a follow-up album was much anticipated within the Israeli punk scene, and more than a year passed since the album was recorded in August 2006.
An EP containing five songs from the recording sessions was released in February 2007 via Smith Seven Records, titled Access Denied!. The EP contained the song "Proud to Be Un-American", also featured on the album.
An album release concert was held at the Tmuna Theater, Tel Aviv, Israel on February 29, 2008.

"Man Alive" is a Nero Wolfe mystery novella by Rex Stout, first published in the December 1947 issue of The American Magazine. It first appeared in book form in the short-story collection Three Doors to Death, published by the Viking Press in 1950.
A high-fashion designer consults Wolfe after she sees her uncle — believed to have committed suicide a year before — in disguise and in the audience at one of her shows.
I guess there's nothing left for me to say
But I acknowledge you're not coming back to me
I'm dwelling on where I went wrong
I never thought I'd be the one
To go regretting all the things I said
Before you turned and walked away
Chorus:
I'll get over you
And there's nothing I can do
But lay here trying to get through
I waited this out far too patiently
I waited up for you to come to me
I can't express quite what it cost
