As a child I had no wants but to explore and be curious about the world...as an adult..I don't want to know anymore about this cold world..I want to go somewhere where I can just hear nature sing songs of hope..
…I can completely understand where you’re coming from, but, then I see it that we are here to learn hard lessons to prepare us for a better place when we go home (above)x🙏🏼
Completely understand man. I feel that call to natüre too and more when it's all so preacrious and vulnerable. However a very wise irish farmer turned yoga guru told me when i first came to live in the grand chaotic babylon of İstanbul," the chaos of istanbul's main street (chaps and frequent bombs i would add) can be the best yoga in the world. Its easy to be at peace and maintain your state within natüre and away from the numbers (yep a mr. Weller allusion;) but ti do it in the chaos of a city of 18 million means you are closer to zen " ;) we should go back to the trees if there are any left but in the meantime we can love the "four skinny trees" that punch upward towards the sky and whose roots cling strong to the earth though the concrete that tries to separate them from the depths of the universal mother and does everything to surpress them from reaching out passed the limits of the metalic urban sky P.s. almost an empty sonority in essence but man , that song touches me and brings out something in me . Night night all and everyone. I will drift back to nature when i Dream
jp fitzpatrick freedom of choice is Irrelevant to the topic at hand. because all the Freedom of choice exists our choices are influenced by our genetics
I love the fact that there's comments from a year ago, 3 years ago but also from Just a week ago. And they're saying the same thing, we're all talking about freedom and of how we all admire what Christopher did. Society today sucks and it's been like that for years and those Who cant escape it at least have this song to listen to. God bless music and its magic and enormous power
Society is mostly good!! Only the religious people ain't!! That's why the world is fucked cos of you lot!! Sorry but grow the fuck up and stop being brain washed 🙄❤️
i wish from the bottom of my heart if i could go far away from here and live with just nature... i don't want to live in a city anymore. i can't stand people anymore, all their superficial thoughts, work for live? or live for work? I dont want to live forever, i just wanna live, be free and happy. at least one hour and then die.
Let's run away together. Literally just go. Somewhere far away from everything, and build our own house by hand, and raise our own food. We'll be okay, I think. I'm a pretty handy person and know quite enough about plants too.
+Riko Park there's a book you can get @ Hastings called "back to basics" by Ann Gehring .... it will teach you in detail how to homestead........... lead your generation !
The sheer calming effect of this song is unreal. Back when I heard it for the first time more than a decade back, to now when I am hearing it again, and the numerous times I have in between .. the essence remains the same. The same veil of solitude. Love from Bangalore, India.
Playing this song at my son's funeral next week 8 th of February 2023 . Because I know he thought that after the last 3 years lock downs ect he thought society is a crazy breed . Love you son you will be in your mum's and my heart for ever . Miss you baby 😪😪😪😪😪 XXX ♥️♥️♥️
The magic bus was plucked from the Alaskan wilderness recently but has found a new home at a museum if im not mistaken. Great story and great song, I live right next to the holy Moses wash and have been there numerous times to hike and feel! Take care all!
The movie ending always crushes me. Because when he wrote in that book "Happiness only real when shared", it just drops a mountain on my soul that I do not have anyone to experience that with. He left everything to be free and live. And in the last moments of his life had epiphany that he cannot be trully happy if he is alone. And I am wandering this Earth alone, while being surrounded by people.
In reality they actually have no idea when he wrote that in the book. He could have wrote that months before he actually died. The movie just did that scene for dramatic effect.
Yes well he was really a suburban kid not meant for that survivalist lifestyle and reclusion unlike Dick in Alone in the Wilderness building a cabin and hunting and foraging effectively. Anything to get away from his parents though I guess maybe he would rather die than be with them and their lies and manipulation.
Ramses Manzo im not a vegan, i like meat. but its sad to know that everywhere in the country they torture the animals before killing them. but anyways, good day to you
I am in Canada now, NW of British Columbia. A few days ago I was canooing on a lake where it was absolutely quiet. The only sounds came from the animals around the Lake. Whenever I listen to this song, I have a tear in my eye and a deep feeling of "I want to go back there".
this song is so perfect about the emptiness of human hearts and where society is indeed. I have hiked over 100 mountains and walked over 4000 miles through 8 states and that's the only freedom I know. but even that has its own limitaions
My mom used to blast this in the car, when she was happy now she’s just there and I blame this dam world for it she was a beautiful woman full of life now she’s always tired looks lifeless she deserves better 😔
The only way the world could ever have an ideal utopian society is to achieve the idea that Jimi Hendrix said best."WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE OVERCOMES THE LOVE OF POWER, THE WORLD WILL KNOW PEACE."
Cr'Lar Lee Yea buddy. It's ok tho cuz you have the privilege of PJ now. Eddie ... hands down the best vocalist and frontman of my generation and easily comparable to the 60s and 70s as well . This band here is a miracle in my eyes and soul. They are as pure and real as it can get. If you dig this song you really gotta start from the beginning, 1990, album- Ten- has gone platinum 14x
I just want to say that this is not a song this is a reality of society. The world is changed but the peoples are not yet but this is the best singer ever and it is a reminder for all of us
Learning to play acoustic guitar during this pandemic because of Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. This song has so much meaning to me we voluntarily put ourselves into cubicles to make money to have more stuff. NO ONE on their deathbed ever said they wish they had worked more.
Nearly 40 now and just had an epiphany. We all want out of this rat race. Where we fail is thinking that success will get us out. Ive chased success in hopes of making it to where I dont have to participate in this society. Thats where I failed. I will never make it. Few do following that path. I remember as a youngster reading Jack London and telling people this is what I wanted to do when I grew up. Move to Alaska and live free off the land. I know it terrified my mother and was always discouraged. Gotta be part of society to be something. Biggest lie we are told. Follow your heart. Dont worry about success. Freedom is at your doorstep.Its that easy. Too late for me. Too many responsibilities that as a man I cant leave behind. Ah well, maybe in the next life.
This will be my funeral song. Not that I can hear it maybe, but people will understand me more with just with this song. Cause they keep saying that I am crazy.
"The ego wants quantity while the soul wants quality" Ego wants quantity because it doesn't see the quality. Like he said in this amazing song "Cuz when you have more than you think, you need more space"
TO ME, THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN, BECAUSE IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH ABOUT SOCIETY AND I RELATE TO HOW HE FEELS 100%, OTHER SIMILAR SONGS ALSO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS BUT NOT AS CLEARLY AND TO THE POINT AS EDDIE VEDDER, AMAZING LYRICS SUCH A GOOD SONG WRITER, PEACE OUT TO ALEXANDER SUPERTRAMP (CHRISTOPHER) A TRUE HUMAN WITH THE BALLS TO BREAK THROUGH THE WALL THATS KEEPS ALL OF US DOCILE AND CONTROLLED, I DO NOT NORMALLY FOLLOW IDOLS BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE AN IDOL I WOULD ACTUALLY CHOOSE 2, EDDIE VEDDER AND ALEXANDER SUPERTRAMP, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING AND GOING AGAINST IT ALL BOTH IN THOUGHT AND IN PERSON, INTO THE WILD, TRULY FREE AND ALIVE WITH NOTHING TO BACK YOU UP ON PURPOSE.
I do not just like the song here, I also appreciate you, the people who talk in commentaries. Less superficial, less greedy, more human. I don't know you, you don't know me, but there's something that nears us: the wish of life and freedom. Imagine a world without music or any art? That touch us, encourage us, reinforce us and learn us life. I think that there's one thing that human needs to relearn: it's to live by letting living. Because Man is not a God, merely an element of Nature. Therefore, if he kills others, he kills himself. Westrn/occidental society forgot it and keep destroying. What should we do?
@Vedio It just feels like this is the first step of our collapsing, the trigger. Now it's only a matter of time for sure. This society cannot continues, it's impossible. But how long is this gonna take? 10 years? 50 years? We cannot know.
someday i wanna build a home in the midde of nowhere, when i open my front door it will be the sea, the sound of the wave, the warm of the sun and sand, the shades of the palm n coconut tree waving at me...when i open my back door it will be a mountain, full of trees whispers each other, the breeze in the air, the sounds of the wild birds singing freely...n this song playing in my middle small wood home while i drink my coffee n read some good books....this is my only dream
I've walked away from the West and started a new life in the East. Give me Eastern heart over Western head any day. Best thing I've ever done, and I've done a lot. Remember, if you aren't happy, you aren't a tree and you can move.
No amount of money could buy my one thing I want. Sitting on a boat on the lake with my uncle Gary and my sweet dog scraps, Gary was killed years ago, and my scraps isn't long on this earth now. 😢😢❤❤❤ then I would have peace.
You're wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from human relationships. God's placed it all around us. It's in every thing. In anything we can experience. people just need to change the way they look at those things.
No matter how much we try to divide ourselves with our irrational reasoning, there's one thing we will never be able to rid ourselves of: the humanity we all carry.
Embrace the chaos,stop overthinking,stop over analyzing or trying to predict,not mean to give up just keep your hope that something better is coming,just wait for your call.
Chris Mcclandlis RIP. I think his spirit is something we all feel. Doing what he did, not a good thing to do for some people, lol, yet some have the natural desire to explore , yet disconnect from something that is so obviously corrupt. =) Peace and love. Amazing song and awesome post. ty
Before this track!I knew! don't hate just enjoy shallow minded people! and that people like us are different!! love this track! probably my favourite of my 48years on the planet 👊 people are not what you?or I am? that's life.❤️ stay safe and believe in yourself.
I love this song, but not for the reasons people may think, there a lot of problems with society, so many problems. I, however, celebrate it, not for it's problems but for the things it does right, I've seen people weep for others they never had the pleasure of knowing, I've seen people make huge sacrifices so that people they may never know can live happily, yes society may be terrible and yes this song explores that fact, but it's only when we start to think about what it means and how it effects you do you realize the entirety of something. As a man that's been outside and within, I can say that both have their bad sides and good sides but when you're within at least you're sharing those sides with others that understand your pain, look at this comment section, people are sharing the same opinion, we're a community of like-minded people who have suffered from the bad sides of today's world but together we form a community and what is society but the community of the world. I see a coin, a valuable coin, with two sides, this is the world, ordered-society vs ultimate-freedom, I walk the line, for I love both sides.
Only listened to two tracks of new album! People saying it's his best?? Cos he's older? Hard to beat this! Breath? And who cares? Like what you like ♥️
Great anti-consumerism song, those corrupt, greedy politicians should listen to this kind of song more often. Society is fucked up because of people like them.
most of those 7 billion people wont understand it .. coz they are the society ..divided by boundaries, religion and skin colour .. sometimes i feel really sad about the state of this world..but then i light up a joint .. and listen to good music like this.. indeed "society you're a crazy breed.. hope you're not lonely without me"
