A hauntingly beautiful song, gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

The song was written by Jerry Hannan and is performed by Eddie Vedder for the soundtrack of the film Into The Wild. The Sean Penn directed movie itself was wildly beautiful and what made it touching was that it was based on the real life story of a certain Christopher McCandless.

“Christopher Johnson McCandless (February 12, 1968 – August 18, 1992) was an American wanderer who hiked into the Alaskan wilderness with little food and equipment, hoping to live a period of solitude. Almost four months later he died of starvation near Denali National Park and Preserve.”

Oh its a mystery to me.

We have a greed, with which we have agreed…

And you think you have to want more than you need…

Until you have it all, you won’t be free.

Society, you’re a crazy breed.

I hope you’re not lonely, without me.

When you want more than you have, you think you need…

And when you think more, then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.

I think I need to find a bigger place…

Cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.

Society, you’re a crazy breed.

I hope you’re not lonely, without me.

Society, crazy indeed…

I hope you’re not lonely, without me.

There’s those thinkin’ more or less, less is more,

But if less is more, how you keepin’ score?

It means for every point you make, your level drops.

Kinda like you’re startin’ from the top…

And you can’t do that.

Society, you’re a crazy breed.

I hope you’re not lonely, without me.

Society, crazy indeed…

I hope you’re not lonely, without me

Society, have mercy on me.

I hope you’re not angry, if I disagree.

Society, crazy indeed.

I hope you’re not lonely…

Without me.
