Still Alive
"Still Alive" is a song featured in the closing credits of the 2007 video game ''Portal''. It was composed and arranged by Jonathan Coulton and was performed by Ellen McLain, who voiced the ''Portal'' antagonist and subject of the song, GLaDOS. The song originated in a meeting between two Valve developers and Coulton about him writing a song for the company, which Coulton accepted as he was a fan of Valve's ''Half-Life'' series, which is set in the same universe as ''Portal''. The song was released on ''The Orange Box'' Soundtrack on December 21, 2007, along with an exclusive vocal mix not heard in the game.

The song received praise for its humor and the quality of its performance. It has been featured in multiple venues, including at the 2009 Press Start -Symphony of Games-, a yearly Japanese c ...
