Jonathan Coulton sings 'Still Alive' from Portal

submitted by Hive13

1 decade 6 years 5 months ago

Quoted from Joystiq: If you haven't gotten the note about Portal yet, well, it was a HUGE SUCCESS. We can't really overstate our satisfaction and for those who would like to hear the song from the finale sung by the original creator, Jonathan Coulton, we've got one video above and another after the break. Just to reiterate, the song does give away plot points -- but seriously, finish Portal already, it's done in an afternoon.

The video above is from a concert in Atlanta and the one after the break is from the AT&T channel when they visited Coulton at his home studio in Brooklyn. Spoiler Alert: Oh, the AT&T people also feed Coulton cake, but there's something wrong with it -- and, no, it's not a lie.

I guess we can safely say that JoCo himself is a huge success... well played sir

Upvote for audience participation!

Hurrah for JoCo. I wish the man huge success. I mean, he obviously does have great success, he shows up everywhere, but he is one of the few artists I've bought music from online. Great stuff, from a great game.

I love the song but not really this performance of it.

Wow, geeky audience participation to the extreme. I don't think it's a very good quality clip, and would love to listen to it done in a studio.

Upvote for cake.
