Jack Black is fired up and ready to rock on the first soundtrack song from his upcoming adventure flick A Minecraft Movie. And he’s bringing along some friends. Black dropped the classic rock burner “I Feel Alive” last week, a thundering jam featuring Who-like screams and 1970s KISS disco rock vibes.
“I was stuck like a stone/ Down in the nether ’til you came along/ But your faith in me/ Gave me the power to set me free/ I don’t wanna be running from zombies for the rest of our lives/ Let’s be creative ’til the day that we die/ Now, do I have to tell ya one more time?,” Black growls over a skittery beat until things explode on the massive chorus.
Those booming drums and banging cow bell sounds? Of course they’re courtesy of Black’s pal and Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl, who pounds the skins on the Andrew Wyatt-produced track that also features Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, background vocals from Black’s movie co-star Danielle Brooks, keyboards from Jellyfish’s Roger Manning and bass and rhythm guitar by song composer Mark Ronson.
“Found the love/ I’m dreaming of/ Yes now I’m never ever looking back/ ‘Cause I feel alive/ I move mountains with my mind/ I feel the high/ With the power of the wolf inside/ Here we go/ I feel alive,” Black thunders on the chorus of the glam rock anthem. A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), also stars Jason Momoa, Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Sebastian Hansen and Emma Myers.
Black is slated to host Saturday Night Live with musical guests Elton John & Brandi Carlile on April 5.
