(en) Being Alive è una canzone di Stephen Sondheim, numero di chiusura del musical Company, con musiche di Sondheim su libretto di George Furth. Il musical debuttò a Broadway nel 1970, con Dean Jones nel ruolo di Robert, il protagonista del musical e interprete della canzone. Robert canta Being Alive nel giorno del suo trentacinquesimo compleanno e nella canzone riflette sulla propria solitudine e sulla paura di non trovare mai nessuno con cui instaurare una relazione sincera. Being Alive è diventato uno dei brani musicali più celebri nel panorama del teatro musicale e ha raggiunto una fama al di là del mondo del teatro di Broadway grazie alle incisioni discografiche di artisti come Tony Bennett e Barbra Streisand. Il personaggio Kurt Hummel canta la canzone nella serie televisiva Glee. Tra le numerose interpretazioni degne di nota, la più recente è quella di Adam Driver, nel film Storia di un matrimonio.
