We aren't the broken ones. The people that don't get this song are. We're all good kiddo. Just look at them and smile because we have an inside joke. ;)
Still listening to Eddie Vedder , I’m 70 and he reminds me of my son who passed 27 years ago he was big fan. We would listen to Pearl Jam together. I love this song 🎶 so much.

Honor His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. 1 Chronicles 16:8-10 HCSB . . . . or just sing songs that don't honour God . Everyone chooses the songs they sing. I was an agnostic punk until 40 years old, the songs I loved were not worshipping the God of Creation, but the god of this world 😥
This song reminds me of my brother who took his life 40 years ago for all the reasons in this song. A gentle soul who travelled the world in his short 24 years here. Lived in a cabin with nothing, surrounded by nature, he inspired me to know what really matters in this world. In all honestly I am glad he isn't here to see even more damage to this earth humans have done..he went out on his own terms..
Here too for the same reason. My brother passed at 27 some 17 years ago. I wonder everyday what he'd make of the change, but also the ever increasing pace of change. I do wish I could bounce these thoughts of him.
Sorry for your brother having enough of people!please tell me to fuck off!but ski and benny my friends didn't hang them self's because the planet was getting ruined?it was because they were fucking bored with!being nice when you don't want to?smiling when you don't want to?etc listen
I love this so much. I really want to raise my son to distance himself from societies pressures and expectations and just find freedom to be himself. I was raised to work, to go to school to make money, money was all that mattered to my parents, and I never remember being taught to be happy above all else. I don't care if he lives to be 90 and has nothing but a shack to show for it, as long as he smiled, laughed, danced, and loved. There's so much more to the world than being what society expects of you ❤
Had been raising my daughter like this, she loved me very much, until my lovely sister and her husband took her away from me at the age of 8. We dont see eachother anymore since i cant remember when. This is killing me. Trying to stay strong, make some money to hire a good lawyer etc. I have been so naive, could never believe how horrible and selfish people can be. Never had any enemies or people to hate. Now i am drowning in hate, i can say it is probably the worst feeling of all. God bless you and your son. Happy new year, all the best to you two!
Wow, thank you. So powerful. We live in a society today that’s all about showing off and how much somebody has and a bunch of other bullshit that really doesn’t matter. People don’t value anything anymore. I hope you raise your child to think for himself, to value life, and to dance like no one is looking. God bless 🙂
No need to engage with materialism. Just strip it all down to only what you need. Have a few real friends. Live a humble life. Life a simple, peaceful life.
Everyone looks at Christopher McCandless story as one that should push people to go out, in the wild, alone, to find freedom. No one looks at the message Christopher sent: a person can find him/herself struggling to live in this society (a capitalistic and globalized one, where one consumes to always consume more - i.e. buying brand new phones when your own is still working, or a new car because it is more beautiful than the one you have) but you cannot change the society from outside, alienating yourself in the wild, with no contact with that "society". Christopher tried to go back in that society, he built his own awareness, he understood he needed people and things around him to be happy, not the extreme and sometimes empty wildness. And as you can see, he remains 113 days in the wild. But travels for 2 long years, meeting people, not feeling alone at all. To sum up, I believe you can be free everywhere, if your soul is free. You can love others, if you love yourself. And traveling is a way of being free and of loving, with no necessities to "close" yourself in the wild. And believe me, though you may sometimes decide to travel alone (so with no people you know) you will never be alone along the route, as you will meet those who will make up your traveling days and experiences - and everything will make more sense and will be more amazing. "Happiness only real when shared" C.J. McCandless.
Sarah Eff Hi Sarah, thank you for you comment. I could understand what kind of situation Chris and Carine were living from the movie, but I cannot even imagine the pain this brought. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'm glad you did and I hope you are a Strong Survivor.
When your there become here you simply obtain another there, don't relinquish the reality of a wife and kids for an unachievable dream. You can't run away from yourself.. Trust me I know
Reading these comments warms my heart. I was lucky enough to have a father that taught me money means shit. I never searched for money. I searched for my soul, and I think at 47 years old I've found it. This is one of my favorite tunes to strum. Dad is gone now, but I think of him when I play this song. Thanks Eddie.
Eddie Vedder did a masterful job scoring the epic film "Into the Wild." As a backpacker, guitar player and singer, the film was right up my alley. When I bought the album, I was over the moon. It had been decades since an album spoke to me like that. Playing these songs on guitar and singing along with them is as much fun as I've had with my guitar since I learned John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
@@menophoenix3413 I was primarily a guitar player prior to my "Traumatic Brain Injury" suffered in Nov. 2018. Since then, I am living in hospitals and Skilled Nursing Facilities. I lost ALL of my material possessions during my ordeal which included six (6) brain surgeries and a paralytic stroke. As part of my recovery therapy, I taught myself piano and have been playing every morning for the past two (2) years. Music is HEALING! 🥰
In 14 days ill be leaving my beautiful girlfriend of 15 years and the best 3 kids a man could ask for. Ill leave unplanned no phone, abit of money and the clothes on my back. For 10 years the white lines have took over me, my friends and the place i used to call home. My mental health is in ruins and has been for a long time. I see no other alternative than flee and be alone to try and find the person i used to be. Addiction is an horrible decease. It takes your mind, body, your wallet and leaves you an empty shell. If you think its just a phase and just having a laugh its already got you. Seek help and start ditching. Youre better than that. Dont waste your life. Peace to all
My dad died recently and I looked through his personal belongings and I found his mp3 player and this song was on it before he died and it truly made me cry with joy. Edit: It was the last song he listen before peacefully passing away... I just found out today when I looked at the camreas, he flat lined as soon as the song ended. Rest in peace.
A lot of people don’t know, but this song was actually written by Jerry Hannan, one of Vedder’s buddies. I actually got the chance to meet him and watch him perform because he’s a buddy of my dad’s. He’s super underrated and has some great stuff on Spotify!
I can listen to the song and a social setting and Just Vibe to it. But if I'm alone like now you can bet your last dollar I will be balancing tears on my eyelids
I can't remember where I heard this song but for the past few months I keep playing it in my head with "anxiety" replacing "society" in the refrain. It gives the rest of the lyrics a whole new meaning. It has the same despairing undercurrent that I feel with my anxiety these days. It's therapeutic to be heard.
That's... super helpful. Wow 👏 Thank you. New age personal eras seem to tear away w/chaos & creation but... internalizing the cost hits harder these days. At least, for this one it does. Roll on e'ryone 🙏
Every time I listen to this song I just quit doing everything, just close my eyes and I listen to every single word. That is the strong effect this song has !
Happiness, live life how you want to live it. Don't let society force you to be something you don't want to be. "We have a greed, to which we have agreed." It's your life, your purpose.
This song means a lot to me. Me and brother grew up together in a small town that slowly grew into a tourist spot. We watched this movie and almost envied McCandless in a way. We used to talk about real freedom. We both had a crap childhood. We liked the idea of living life for everything it had to offer. In November of 2020, my brother couldn't take it anymore. He ended his life. I've moved on. Had kids, got married, got an education, made something of myself, but I hear this song constantly. He missed out on the true beauty of life. Love and happiness, something that was so hard to come by for us, he could have had it. People stay strong. Life is rough, you may not feel like you fit in to modern society, but I am living proof. Keep going. I'm still here. I'm happy with what I've accomplished, I feel free. I have two beautiful daughters to bring up better than I was brought up. I just wish I could have got that through to him. God rest your soul Dakota. I will always love ya brother.
i'm 18 now and i see people from my age worrying about what society thinks about them. And then i look at me and i see a guy that don't belongs to that group of people. A guy that only care about living and enjoying life. A guy that don't give a damn thing about what others think. Just being happy with myself. So thank you Eddie vedder( society) , for helping me understanding that that's the only thing that matters, loving yourself for who you are, and only after giving your love to others.
I appreciate my good friend for introducing me to this song...we were both having extremely difficult nights (each, for our own reasons), but I will forever have a special place in my heart for him sharing this with me! I hope you all love and enjoy this song as much as I do! Best wishes to us all!
The first time I heard this song, I had TH-cam playing music on the TV in the other room. I was going about ny business. When I heard this, I stopped in my tracks and said "What in the world is that beautiful sound?" I went to see, and sure enough it was the one and only Eddie Vedder. 💜
Thank you Eddie for being in my music since I was 12 now I'm 41 and aging to your music is an honor,..keep Rollin brother..and then all others..the unspoken means the most to those who can feel sometimes a little more than most..be well brothers n sisters.
Not a single man in this world can sing like this man. I still remember the first time I heard his voice back in 1991, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. It changed everything.
Thanks for the information. I would check out the bank. I know you must be surprised to hear from me but I created this account so I can reach out to my fans, and know what they think about me, and the band. Could you send me an email now as I would love to know more about you, and what you think about me and the band?
Going on a 10-day trip to Mount Roraima tomorrow morning. No cellphones, no signs of civilization other than my group. Couldn't think of a better song to listen before going to sleep. See you on the other side.
I was in hospital when I first heard this song just a week ago for 4 weeks really close to dying it may sound stupid but it gave me strength and some kind of new love for life thanx Eddie 😎😉
This is the soundtrack to my evening this evening. It's 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 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 than 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 crazy breed hope you're not lonely, without me. Society crazy indeed hope you're not lonely, without me. There's those thinking more less less is more But if less is more, How you keepin score? 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 crazy breed hope you're not lonely, without me. Society crazy indeed hope you're not lonely, without me. Society have mercy on me Hope you're not angry, if i disagree. Society, you're crazy breed. Hope you're not lonely, without me.
a year ago i stayed in coma for 2 weeks and i can barely remember the things before coma. when i open this song some moments and feelings suddenly came to me, the life i have lived. and now i clearly remember i used to listen to this song a lot. i feel blessed for having such an amazing moment. life is full of surprises.
Never heard a song that I relate to as much as this one. The whole album is incredible. Every single song is full of ripe emotions we all can relate to. I've lived in Alaska for 49 years. Very much aware of the bus. It was recently moved because of so many people being entangled with the movie and trying to make the trek without proper knowledge of how harsh, yet stunningly beautiful Alaska is. Alaska takes a person's breath away. g
This song so reaonates with my present state of mind...was an officer, working for government but left the job even though had several years. Everything seem so hollow, nothing to achieve, nothing to pursue, just nothing. In end, it is just dust.....
Greed is expensive, but it's the poor man who pays the price. So the rich will never understand the other fraction of the coin to which he cannot relate
It's a mystery to me We have a greed With which we have agreed 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 than 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 and deep I hope you're not lonely without me There's those thinking more or less less is more But if less is more how you're keeping score? Means for every point you make Your level…
@@brickswisher7672 For whatever reason I have never been able to hold onto anything. At first I was sad about it, then bitter. The losses never stopped, I finally just learned to accept it. I still keep losing stuff, now I don't even think about it.
Can we all get together and create a community near the woods, not far from a lake or river where we can grow our own food, plant orchards, climb, forage, sing around fires, build cabins and shelters? Maybe raise some chickens humanely? If wealthy developers can build condos and housing units and cookie cutter houses, why can’t we build a green, sustainable, rural neighborhood ? We can get out of this hollow society and live peacefully without all of the corporate greed and violence and corruption. We can, can’t we? Who’s with me?
Vedder , your songs saved my soul, your songs, your passion and truth freed me from my self made prison. I would sing my heart out to your songs suffering in my existential aloneness. Thank you for your gift, it has helped heal and bring life to millions like me. Thanks you 🙏🏽💧
I remember the first time I heard this song in 2017. I literally sold everything and have been traveling ever since. The places you will see, the experiences you will feel.
That's exactly what I wanna do as well. I'm turning 18 tomorrow but I have always been more mature than other kids my age. I know it's cringe to say that but I have been through a lot in my life that was really hard. Horrible parents and I have been broke my whole life. The only true happiness I feel is with my friends, being in nature, and being with animals. I want to travel more than anything else. I want to see the world and meet new people and cultures. I don't care if I have to go back packing.
Every time I listen to this song I feel so cut off from the world I love and the life I’m forced to live. He sings to my soul and it hurts but I know it’s a painful beautiful thing. Thank you for vocalizing an emotion That’s always just below the surface.
I don't think that is a bad thing hey, I disagree with the masses too, utter insanity what most people do with their lives , fuck a mortgage and working for someone else to get rich, I am going fishing
This songs means so much. It will go down in history books with music greats like Mozart, Brahms, and others. Simple in these times, ignored by many because of message, but full of truth, meaning, and spirit for tomorrow's society to listen, learn, and follow. When I feel the throng of society pulling at me and drawing me into its mesh, I listened to this song, and remember what is really important.
This song always makes me cry and I hate it as a 25 year old man. Its hits hard and it was the favorite song of the only woman I've loved. It's massively cathartic.
Your feelings are valid no matter your gender. Love lost is very painful. I hope the sun shines light on all the beauty around and inside you and you feel one with our mother, earth.
As a 50 year old, I can tell you that you have a whole bunch of sunny days ahead. Heartbreaks and heartaches will come and go. Over and over. My first big one was at about 20. Then 25. Then 30 something... Be You, Love You and the right one will too.
"To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds will separate between him and what he touches." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature
The world is a plight of misery, each person’s grief is a different shade of color, and the only separation is the morning sunlight that gives you another day to figure out if you’re staying in this place or somewhere darker than your desperate Soul. Abandoned hope!!
I'm not that much of an old soul, but I get it. I always have. I don't know how I know a lot of the things I just seem to have an innate ability to know.
Backpacking the world right now Everytime I listened to this song it reminds me how hard it will be too go back to society so I guess I'm not going back
I hear you. I'm 63 and want to run away all the time. But my inner strength and determination to NOT give into the darkness keeps me grounded. Keeps me alive. Keeps me fighting. And each time I'm wounded, I heal even stronger than before. Never give up! xx
In one week comes the birthday of Chris McCandless' who taught me a lot about life. but most importantly, he taught me that "happiness only real when shared" what's the point of doing stuff if you have no one to share them with?
Jennifer Crawford As surreal and daunting the world feels these past 3 weeks, know that we have each other, that positivity matters... a lot, and that we're getting through this, like it or not, Covid- Peace :)
@@breaddboy that’s how I got to listen to this masterpiece. I stumbled across this film by accident, and for a low budget film I really enjoyed it , even more so listening to Eddie vedder too.
mustafa juventino after reading his story and seeing the film he in a way brought peace to my life. I stopped wanting so much, I realized the most beautiful things in life are free.
Why can't people just accept the better thing in another person and enjoy it.... why do they have to envy it.... try to become better than it.... and when they fail they try to bring down this better thing..... Society.... crazy indeed!
The words in this song are so powerful, it broke me, my heart oozes reality, and the pain of working my hands to the bone for nothing shakes the foundation I stand on.
Until you realize that Vedder is worth 100's of millions of $$$ with all of the amenities that go along with that worth. Contrast that against the lyrics.
@@weltanschauung3922 I don't think that changes much actually. I used to think that getting rich in our society was morally wrong, either because you need to be unethical or because you are 'surrendering into the system'. Now I realize this is stupid. What if Eddive Vedder actually believes what he preaches in these songs? What if he activelly works to build a better world? Does it change anything that he is successful? I don't think so... I also don't think he should donate all his money to charity, because I don't do it myself (even know I have more then enough to survive with dignity).

God bless you & comfort you in your loss 😘 parents are our biggest influencers! Obviously they done good w/ you!
What a gift, so sorry for your loss ❣
This really touches my heart and hits home bc the same thing with my Uncle who I recently lost to suicide.
@@amberdodd9147 so sorry for your loss 😪💔 xxxx Sending love your way 💞
A lot of people don’t know, but this song was actually written by Jerry Hannan, one of Vedder’s buddies. I actually got the chance to meet him and watch him perform because he’s a buddy of my dad’s. He’s super underrated and has some great stuff on Spotify!
Just heard the song, thanks. You are a good Wyatt✊
You're a lucky man to have such talented inspiration in your life. Kudos.
Thanks for the introduction to Jerry Hannan!
Such a cool insight!
ty 4 that
Personally, i think this is one of the most beautiful songs to ever been written in the world of music. Simply beautiful.
I can listen to the song and a social setting and Just Vibe to it. But if I'm alone like now you can bet your last dollar I will be balancing tears on my eyelids
@consuelo mufc Thanks for your love and wonderful support. Your wonderful comments attracted you to me.
@@eddievedder9558 qué bueno que fueras Eddie Vedder de verdad.
I can't remember where I heard this song but for the past few months I keep playing it in my head with "anxiety" replacing "society" in the refrain. It gives the rest of the lyrics a whole new meaning. It has the same despairing undercurrent that I feel with my anxiety these days. It's therapeutic to be heard.
Exactly! I discovered this song when I trying to handle my anxiety. Then I realized my anxiety is more related with society than my thoughts.
@@goksuogredici4113 glad to hear you can also relate! I still sing this song whenever I’m having a tough day lol
My brain does the same thing!!!
That's... super helpful. Wow 👏 Thank you. New age personal eras seem to tear away w/chaos & creation but... internalizing the cost hits harder these days. At least, for this one it does. Roll on e'ryone 🙏
Anxiety, crazy and big..
Every time I listen to this song I just quit doing everything, just close my eyes and I listen to every single word. That is the strong effect this song has !
Thank you so much for your love and support i really appreciate.
Eddie arguably wrote his best songs for this soundtrack and this is arguably the best of them. So simple. So beautful. So true. So powerful.
Except Eddie didn’t write this song. It was written by Jerry Hannan who is a local musician in San Francisco.
I Love the way Eddie Vedder sing and I honestly listen to this song almost every night before sleep. It's beautiful..
this is one of those songs that really makes you think; why are we all here? whats our purpose? will we ever find you we are looking for?
ktrainbfs nobody knows why we are here, but find out why you are here mate, you'll be happy
Joey Wever suppose your right.
ktrainbfs Jesus Christ
Jerry King Sorry, i dont belive in silly men who live in the sky
Happiness, live life how you want to live it. Don't let society force you to be something you don't want to be. "We have a greed, to which we have agreed." It's your life, your purpose.
This song means a lot to me. Me and brother grew up together in a small town that slowly grew into a tourist spot. We watched this movie and almost envied McCandless in a way. We used to talk about real freedom. We both had a crap childhood. We liked the idea of living life for everything it had to offer. In November of 2020, my brother couldn't take it anymore. He ended his life. I've moved on. Had kids, got married, got an education, made something of myself, but I hear this song constantly. He missed out on the true beauty of life. Love and happiness, something that was so hard to come by for us, he could have had it. People stay strong. Life is rough, you may not feel like you fit in to modern society, but I am living proof. Keep going. I'm still here. I'm happy with what I've accomplished, I feel free. I have two beautiful daughters to bring up better than I was brought up. I just wish I could have got that through to him. God rest your soul Dakota. I will always love ya brother.
Én egyszer elindultam a világba... átmentem határokon jött egy lány.... haza vitt... mindig ez a dal volt a fejemben.
Az osztrák határn kérdezte hova mész... csak haza akarok menni.... pont arra megyek:) Köszönöm.... elvitt
Life is short. I don't see much point in it, but some people want to see it.
Thank you for sharing! I know this will help some
It doesn’t get Eddie Vedder than this. Just a man, his feelings, his voice and a ukulele
i'm 18 now and i see people from my age worrying about what society thinks about them. And then i look at me and i see a guy that don't belongs to that group of people. A guy that only care about living and enjoying life. A guy that don't give a damn thing about what others think. Just being happy with myself. So thank you Eddie vedder( society) , for helping me understanding that that's the only thing that matters, loving yourself for who you are, and only after giving your love to others.
I hope 9 years has sought you well. Keep going
I'm 47 now. I had the same struggle you did.
I was there when pearl Jam was in in prime circa 1994.
How are you doing now my friend? I hope you're okay and have figured some things out
You are 28 now. I hope you have used your time here to the utmost since that comment :)
I appreciate my good friend for introducing me to this song...we were both having extremely difficult nights (each, for our own reasons), but I will forever have a special place in my heart for him sharing this with me! I hope you all love and enjoy this song as much as I do!
Best wishes to us all!
This song is so deep and profound. It brings tears to my eyes.
Love
🥺
my balls go deep too
it brings me here as well
The first time I heard this song, I had TH-cam playing music on the TV in the other room. I was going about ny business. When I heard this, I stopped in my tracks and said "What in the world is that beautiful sound?" I went to see, and sure enough it was the one and only Eddie Vedder. 💜
Eddie Vedder ages so nicely and gracefully, despite going through so much adversity. He's still very handsome (ok AND talented).
Thank you Eddie for being in my music since I was 12 now I'm 41 and aging to your music is an honor,..keep Rollin brother..and then all others..the unspoken means the most to those who can feel sometimes a little more than most..be well brothers n sisters.
Eddie is one of the best singer/ song writers in the last 100 years. We should all thank him for all of the greatness he has brought us
Not a single man in this world can sing like this man. I still remember the first time I heard his voice back in 1991, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. It changed everything.
Hello Eve, How are you doing today? It's my pleasure meeting you here, and I'm glad you're a fan. Is this one of your favorite songs?
Thanks for the information. I would check out the bank. I know you must be surprised to hear from me but I created this account so I can reach out to my fans, and know what they think about me, and the band. Could you send me an email now as I would love to know more about you, and what you think about me and the band?

Middel. Thereven
I sure AF tried as a teen! 😲
This picture feels alive
It’s the feet
It's not alive it's a song called society
It's because he's like one of the only grunge guys still here
@@zackjacobson1987
Okp
Yes it does dude
Going on a 10-day trip to Mount Roraima tomorrow morning. No cellphones, no signs of civilization other than my group. Couldn't think of a better song to listen before going to sleep.
See you on the other side.
good luck :)
This song is just... perfect, man. Thank you, Eddie.
indeed
And thank you Jerry Hanann..who wrote the song (music and lyrics)
I was in hospital when I first heard this song just a week ago for 4 weeks really close to dying it may sound stupid but it gave me strength and some kind of new love for life thanx Eddie 😎😉
One of the best albums of this decade.
So true
Agreed
Listening to his voice is like climbing into a warm blanket on a cold night
Yes! Warm fuzzies. ❤️
This is the soundtrack to my evening this evening.
It's 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 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 than 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 crazy breed
hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society
crazy indeed
hope you're not lonely, without me.
There's those thinking more less
less is more
But if less is more, How you keepin score?
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 crazy breed
hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society
crazy indeed
hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society
have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry, if i disagree.
Society, you're crazy breed.
Hope you're not lonely, without me.
HEY DAVE, THANKS FOR REMINDING ME OF EDDIE VEDDER!
Eddie Vedder is my absolute Hero & always will be, next to my kids & family I love him more than anyone else in the world.
Heard while reading "a disovery of strangers" from Rudy Wiebe, canadian author. Great song Eddie vedder
People may hate you for being different and not living by society's standards but deep down they wished they had the courage to do the same.
True!
a year ago i stayed in coma for 2 weeks and i can barely remember the things before coma. when i open this song some moments and feelings suddenly came to me, the life i have lived. and now i clearly remember i used to listen to this song a lot. i feel blessed for having such an amazing moment. life is full of surprises.
This is the kind of song you blast in the middle of the night when you’re having a meltdown.
Never heard a song that I relate to as much as this one. The whole album is incredible. Every single song is full of ripe emotions we all can relate to. I've lived in Alaska for 49 years. Very much aware of the bus. It was recently moved because of so many people being entangled with the movie and trying to make the trek without proper knowledge of how harsh, yet stunningly beautiful Alaska is. Alaska takes a person's breath away.
g
Eddie Vedder and Jeff Buckley, the absolute most beautiful male voices ever produced on this Earth. Just turns your insides out.
+Aleks Persson Frusciante is awesome too
+Aleks Persson dayum now that you said it...
I'd add Chris Cornell too, then the Holy Trinity is complete
+Aleks Persson And the white Buffalo, he have a voice like Eddie ;)
Search by white buffalo Highwayman, is one of the best songs .
+Aleks Persson u should hear about myles kennedy my friend
+Aleks Persson eddie vedder has a distinct voice, yes, but not the best or most beautiful
"There's those thinking more less,
Less is more.
But if less is more, how you keepin score?"
Everyday, all day,
The best lyrics ever sung.
Don't mean to let you down, but I am hell bound.. that's my lyric. Any guesses on who sang that? But both of ya have great lyrics there
demons by imagine dragons
Soorya Karthik Right on 😀
Adam Jacobs The gain the world and lose your soul part is from the Gospels in the Bible. Those are Christ's words, not Bob Marley's.
MyloRen
This song so reaonates with my present state of mind...was an officer, working for government but left the job even though had several years. Everything seem so hollow, nothing to achieve, nothing to pursue, just nothing. In end, it is just dust.....
I can only imagine being a government employee is no easy task. Goes against the grain of all that should be or should have been done. GOVT. Yikes!
This is the saddest, most heartbreakingly resonant song ever written.
Eddie Wedder ha tutta l'angoscia e l'incertezza dell'umanità impresse sul suo viso ...oltre che nelle sue stupende canzoni...
Grande verità!
Greed is expensive, but it's the poor man who pays the price. So the rich will never understand the other fraction of the coin to which he cannot relate
It's a mystery to me
We have a greed
With which we have agreed
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 than 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 and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
There's those thinking more or less less is more
But if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
Your level…
Magic
its easy to want less when you have more, just sayin...
@@brickswisher7672 For whatever reason I have never been able to hold onto anything. At first I was sad about it, then bitter. The losses never stopped, I finally just learned to accept it. I still keep losing stuff, now I don't even think about it.
@@brickswisher7672 Its actually harder.
Thanks Google!
Can we all get together and create a community near the woods, not far from a lake or river where we can grow our own food, plant orchards, climb, forage, sing around fires, build cabins and shelters? Maybe raise some chickens humanely? If wealthy developers can build condos and housing units and cookie cutter houses, why can’t we build a green, sustainable, rural neighborhood ? We can get out of this hollow society and live peacefully without all of the corporate greed and violence and corruption. We can, can’t we? Who’s with me?
sign me up
It could happen....no offense but slightly unrealistic... Just a touch..
I’m down
It would never work out for us. Damn government would either find fault with it or tax us to death for living peacefully.
Sounds like peace to me ✝️
Vedder , your songs saved my soul, your songs, your passion and truth freed me from my self made prison. I would sing my heart out to your songs suffering in my existential aloneness. Thank you for your gift, it has helped heal and bring life to millions like me. Thanks you 🙏🏽💧
This music has such powerfull emotions , you can feel it if you really listen to it with all your soul !
"A felicidade só é real quando compartilhada."
Valeu ✌️
Truly no one like Eddie Vedder. God, his songs are so damn captivating and raw. Absolute legend
This song gives me hope for the human kind. Search into your self. Been broken down and lifted up again. Thank you Mr Vedder
That was very well written. Much kind thanks for whom read!
I remember the first time I heard this song in 2017. I literally sold everything and have been traveling ever since. The places you will see, the experiences you will feel.
Good choice!!! Bon voyage.
That's exactly what I wanna do as well. I'm turning 18 tomorrow but I have always been more mature than other kids my age. I know it's cringe to say that but I have been through a lot in my life that was really hard. Horrible parents and I have been broke my whole life. The only true happiness I feel is with my friends, being in nature, and being with animals. I want to travel more than anything else. I want to see the world and meet new people and cultures. I don't care if I have to go back packing.
@@laylonlee229 Live YOUR best life. (Currently in Medellin Colombia)
It takes balls to do what your doing, i admire it
2012 when I lived in Africa. I've worked normally since then. Can't believe its been 10 years. Where did my life go?
Every time I listen to this song I feel so cut off from the world I love and the life I’m forced to live. He sings to my soul and it hurts but I know it’s a painful beautiful thing. Thank you for vocalizing an emotion That’s always just below the surface.
I don't think that is a bad thing hey, I disagree with the masses too, utter insanity what most people do with their lives , fuck a mortgage and working for someone else to get rich, I am going fishing
Thank you so much i salute your courage and determination, feel free to write me back, one love.......
So true.. painful beautiful. Hope you’re well.
*no one is forced to live
Julie . Be who you want to be and live free. I do. X
Love from the Alps❤
This song will always remain close to my heart.
Eddie Vedder, possibly the greatest soul singer ever.
RIP Chris McCandless and Chris Cornell
Amen
This is just one of the most beautiful songs that exists. People find these songs just when they get to understand what truly matters.
This songs means so much. It will go down in history books with music greats like Mozart, Brahms, and others. Simple in these times, ignored by many because of message, but full of truth, meaning, and spirit for tomorrow's society to listen, learn, and follow. When I feel the throng of society pulling at me and drawing me into its mesh, I listened to this song, and remember what is really important.
Someday, we live together with people who really feels the sun and wind. Notice urself. Notice life.
❤
This song always makes me cry and I hate it as a 25 year old man. Its hits hard and it was the favorite song of the only woman I've loved. It's massively cathartic.
Your feelings are valid no matter your gender. Love lost is very painful. I hope the sun shines light on all the beauty around and inside you and you feel one with our mother, earth.
I’m sorry you are in pain. Feel better sending love
in what way?
As a 50 year old, I can tell you that you have a whole bunch of sunny days ahead. Heartbreaks and heartaches will come and go. Over and over. My first big one was at about 20. Then 25. Then 30 something...
Be You, Love You and the right one will too.
stressful day at work, get in my car and listen to this song takes so much off my shoulders, greed a terrible disease in our society

Is that a fact or your perception of life crazy indeed
"To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds will separate between him and what he touches." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature
Thank you so much Queen for your love and support i really appreciate.
Ol eddie aged like fine wine . Layne and Kurt are watching him in heaven probably
The world is a plight of misery, each person’s grief is a different shade of color, and the only separation is the morning sunlight that gives you another day to figure out if you’re staying in this place or somewhere darker than your desperate Soul. Abandoned hope!!
Reading the comments I see hope in mankind. Only an old soul can really get it. Cheers
I'm not that much of an old soul, but I get it. I always have. I don't know how I know a lot of the things I just seem to have an innate ability to know.
Backpacking the world right now Everytime I listened to this song it reminds me how hard it will be too go back to society so I guess I'm not going back
Did you ever go back, friend?
I guess he never did^ he’s better off than us that’s for sure. Prayers for you wherever you are brother
hope you’re doing well my guy
You back bro?
@@tobyheywood3416 lol got back for a couple of years now I'm traveling again 🤣😂😆
I don't know why I never ran away, but I still think about doing so every day
I want to run too.
I hear you. I'm 63 and want to run away all the time. But my inner strength and determination to NOT give into the darkness keeps me grounded. Keeps me alive. Keeps me fighting. And each time I'm wounded, I heal even stronger than before. Never give up! xx
Do it!
This song is so beautiful and makes me cry every time I listen to it. 😢 Eddies voice is like heaven!
💙❤💜
In one week comes the birthday of Chris McCandless' who taught me a lot about life. but most importantly, he taught me that "happiness only real when shared"
what's the point of doing stuff if you have no one to share them with?
Other people make life tough, but we need other people, nonetheless.
Thank you so much for your love and support, i really appreciate.
Go and have great adventures
and then come home to tell everyone about them.
How appropriate during these weird quarantine times.... beautiful voice as always

As surreal and daunting the world feels these past 3 weeks, know that we have each other, that positivity matters... a lot, and that we're getting through this, like it or not, Covid-
Peace :)
I love Eddie
I can't believe I've never heard this song before. Eddie's voice is sublime and the lyrics are just poetry!!!
Alot of people (myself included) know this song from Into the Wild. If you've not seen it but love the song, you'll love the film.
@@breaddboy that’s how I got to listen to this masterpiece. I stumbled across this film by accident, and for a low budget film I really enjoyed it , even more so listening to Eddie vedder too.
Such a timeless song. Could have been written 1000yrs ago, or 1000yrs in the future. It will always ring out with truth and beauty
Chris McCandless brought me here, rest in peace brother
mustafa juventino after reading his story and seeing the film he in a way brought peace to my life. I stopped wanting so much, I realized the most beautiful things in life are free.

@@richardkronberg4925 No,according to google lol
The guitar solo gets me tears in the eyes all the time...
Eddie Vedder, what a voice.
This movie was so emotional and touchy .. and this songs truly adds another dimension to that.
This song inspired me to go into the wilderness ones in a while. i gotta say, i've never been more happy than just being with myself and nature..
Why can't people just accept the better thing in another person and enjoy it.... why do they have to envy it.... try to become better than it.... and when they fail they try to bring down this better thing..... Society.... crazy indeed!
The truth has been spoken
Ashray thrilok very true! if we all had your mindset everybody would be a lot happier
Its the ego
A sucessful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. Wonderful music. Love You
Beautiful song and sentiment. Chris McCandless's last entry in his diary said: Happiness is only real when shared. People need each other.
The words in this song are so powerful, it broke me, my heart oozes reality, and the pain of working my hands to the bone for nothing shakes the foundation I stand on.
Beautiful....should make people stop and think. Made my heart tingle.
We would indeed be lonely without you Eddie.
Thank you so much for your love and support i really appreciate.
Personally, i think this is one of the most beautiful songs to ever been written in the world of music. Simply beautiful.
Ill agree!
Until you realize that Vedder is worth 100's of millions of $$$ with all of the amenities that go along with that worth. Contrast that against the lyrics.
@@weltanschauung3922 it's more related to the film, not eddie vedder's life.
@@weltanschauung3922 I don't think that changes much actually. I used to think that getting rich in our society was morally wrong, either because you need to be unethical or because you are 'surrendering into the system'. Now I realize this is stupid.
What if Eddive Vedder actually believes what he preaches in these songs? What if he activelly works to build a better world? Does it change anything that he is successful? I don't think so... I also don't think he should donate all his money to charity, because I don't do it myself (even know I have more then enough to survive with dignity).
I agree
