'I Will Survive' Freddie Perren en Dino Fekaris
'I Will Survive'
"I will survive is een nummer van de Amerikaanse zangeres Gloria Gaynor uit 1978. Het werd geschreven door Freddie Perren en Dino Fekaris."
"I will survive werd oorspronkelijk uitgebracht als de B-kant van Gaynors single Substitute. Toen diskjockeys het nummer ontdekten en veelvuldig begonnen te draaien, groeide I will survive echter uit tot een wereldhit. Het bereikte de eerste plaats van de Amerikaanse en Britse hitlijsten en werd ook een top 10-hit in Canada, Australië, Zuid-Afrika en verschillende Europese landen. In 1980 werd het lied bekroond met een Grammy Award voor het beste disconummer, de enige keer dat deze categorie bestond."
"De videoclip voor I will survive werd in 1979 opgenomen in een discotheek in New York."
"Het lied is door de jaren heen zeer populair gebleven, vooral ook in de Lgbt-gemeenschap. In 2016 werd het nummer toegevoegd aan de National Recording Registry."

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
Go on now, go. Walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
