Soundtrack from Into the Wild – by Eddie Vedder. This is also a tribute to Christopher McCandless. Based on a true story. After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire 000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life. Song Lyrics: hmmm ooh hooo hooo It’s a mistery 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 ‘cos 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?
