I’m possibly the only person not to have seen the film “Into the Wild”, based on a book of the same name and directed by Sean Penn. It is basically about one man’s travels across North America and Alaska. While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, the soundtrack blew me away.
Eddie Vedder wrote a collection of songs, just for the film and one song that hit me the most was “Rise”. It’s amazing what a voice and a ukeleke can do your emotions. Have a listen here:
‘Hard Sun’ did it for me. So many times on my travels I’ve put that song on and realised that my life at that moment is everything I want it to be. Best soundtrack album ever!
It’s a shame that I have only discovered the film and soundrack now! Hard sun is another one I like. I think I’ll take this album along with me on future trips!
