Jerry Hannan - Society - Live Recording w/ a Coyote

[Alexbluestramp]

thanks for this song

[grungewiz97]

that is Eddie Vedder's

[4me2charm]

@grungewiz97 .. no this is Jerry Hannon who wrote song .... eddie just made it more famous

[grungewiz97]

@4me2charm well, anyway, it's a great song no matter whose it is :) jerry hannan is good but i like eddie vedder's version better :D

[NumbAsAStatue27]

Everytime I hear this song it stops me dead in my tracks. I even had to wait until the video was done to post this comment. The song is just so beautiful. I had to pick up my guitar immediately after I first heard it so I could learn to play it myself. Its so inspiring to watch this video and performance. It really is art. Thank you so much Jerry! Youve given me something to compare my own performances to

[MrBlackKing999]

sometimes you ask yourself what is you favorite track and you are not sure but today i am certain now that this track is my favourite!!

[Videomikeh]

I first heard Society on Into the Wild when Ed sang your song. I love your purity and I feel your heart really coming through in this version. Thanks for writing great songs. You've been on my list of amazing artists to follow ever since. Thanks Jerry!

[canam6079]

i think this video and song are truly pure works of art. thank you jerry for giving them to us.

[jerryhannan]

Wow

I just read the comments on this video for the first time in 2 years. Thank y' all for watching and adding your thoughts. The inspiration is mutual...

[emulsyjna]

@TmTimber listening to this song i also want to grab an acoustic guitar and play along. it was a time i felt this feeling and although i play electric guitar and other instruments still, but none of the song recently made me feel like this song.

[van1980]

This song beautifully articulates so much of what I feel. Thank you.

[Rocketscience1971]

My favourite song at the moment and must be one of the greatest ever recorded.Just wonderful.

[AGWStudios]

I love the pure emotion that resonates within your voice...that emotion only the writer of a tune can truly capture...Eddie may do the song justice, but you will forever have it mastered...rock on!

[xXxlJAKElxXx]

i went to the la brea tar pits with jerry and my dad.. that guy is so chill! then we went to a country club.. it was alot of fun

[TheLittlewing22]

This song shakes me. Makes me want to get up and leave....ya know?

Thanks for lending it to Eddie, which sent me here. Both are brilliant, but as much as I love him, he's got nothing on ya. Video is perfect.

[waterboy716]

Brilliant song.

[Badmotorfinger112]

simply amazing! and those 2 people who disliked have no soul..

[guitarmatt94]

this song is very emotional for me..i just feel that people today dont know how to live,and i dont know if life is worth living in todays society

[sfasu77]

Love this version! Thank you for blessing my ears with this music!

[audiostudioDOTorg]

Fantastic song Jerry..sound haunting and just perfectly you. Hope ya' remember me... Frankie

[aspenn21]

this is fantastic

[MrTito60]

great video & music

[Jim1671]

what a great song. the point is about greed. why cant you live with what you have? does it have to be more and more? thanks jerry . i hope your fingers and voice never get tired.

[squaminy]

This song is one of the best (if not THE best) I have ever heard. I love it beyond words.

[TempusDiei]

Jerry you didn't let me sleep that night. But however thank you so much for your performance.

Bob the Coyote.

[eyeojo]

[ripkurdt]

Amazing

[rickman33]

Great vid. Beautiful.

[karolecampesine]

Nobody sings Hannan like Hannan.

[040506keri]

Who do you think wrote this song?? Please tell me you dont think Eddie Vedder wrote this song? It was written by Jerry Hannan.

[THEGlassIED]

This is so amazing.

[TheFinalFrontierFN]

Brilliant, man.

[eyewall41]

Jerry,

As a fellow songwriter I love the way this was done in light of what the song means to me. I don't want to guess as to what it means to you unless you were willing to share. None the less thank you for writing it and I now have to see what other art you have posted here.

Jeremy

[krystob]

he sings like Dylan... still like it very much

[saltydogca1309]

absolutely amazing. i really like the video, it has a really rustic and natural feel to it.

[lowdown1964]

5 Stars

[kitsune090]

man that's so spiritual!

[040506keri]

So glad there are song writers like you who produce these complete works. Visually haunting with lyrics that resonate powerfully to all who have the pleasure of having this beauiful song pass through their ears. Thank you society for inspiring this song and to you for writing it.

[Djojodiwongso]

@040506keri

yea he didnt write the song, he covered it :P

but still very nice indeed

[whouston33wh]

fantastic. I love this song. I'm really glad your songwriting skills were discovered and were put into such a fantastic movie. I hope you get more credit for your work

[chuckc55]

I like this cut better then the one shown at Tell Tale premier, the drive and set up shots give it a great rough cut feel

[Mariekesone]

Magical...This is a Wonderful recording of your great song and since i saw "into the Wild", the song means even more to me now....

[hobonlace]

I saw you perform this with Ed in Baltimore this past summer. I love your song. Thank you

[Cacahuetes]

Well done! I like it a lot.

[Emessaine]

this is such a great song.

I would say, the greatest song I've ever heard.. and I'm a student in music so I've heard a fuckin lot!

Thank you so much for this, great video also!

[k2better]

good work

[gggrow]

Is this really live? If so, how is the sound quality so amazing? I can't see a mic for the guitar, either.

[mistajaay]

@gggrow there is, you see it just before he walks up to sing, but the quality is amazing, I wonder if it really is live...

[adamdaxa]

Great performance bro' !! keep it up...

[Haribol108]

Thank you!

[kylethompson4]

Love the song and the video...I did the same thing...recording on Civil War Battlefields. Great job Jerry!

[EddieVedder9]

awesome

[lepsisrock]

Favorite!

[illidanwashere772]

hope this helps!

[foxholeathiest]

Absolutely amazing. You know you've got something great when Eddie Vedder wants it for a solo soundtrack to an amazing story picked up by John Krakauer and then made into a good movie. Awsome!

[raebre]

Songwriting at its finest! 100% soul, 100% real. just that simple, right?

thanks for sharing this gift. hope to hear many, many more.

[Joebreck]

Jerry, you raised the bar bro....thanks!

[littleredstuff]

This is just beautiful...

What a magical idea. Bet the coyote was a better audience than a lot of humans.

[RedRooster5881]

This is the best Vedder cover I heard ;-) just kidding Jerry. You perform the song very well. One of my favorites.

[Weedeater1989]

Good Job! Nice video and Song

[cicciofritto]

great! ciao

[derfelfc]

Eccezionale

[52831955]

Well, it ain't a cover...Jerry wrote it for the movie, but Eddie used it in the soundtrack...

[Jemvie]

Absolutely fantastic cover and footage, thanks for sharing!

[mramspott]

I'm pretty sure Jerry Hannan wrote this song!

[alexchavesit]

great idea for a performance, you even got the coyote curious.

[chewbacka3210]

Absolutely brilliant Jerry. Your cousin Kev.

[povertiescage]

hey weres this guys millions hes much more original than the shit they pump out like candy ? wonder why hes all alone maybe hes not kool yet wait another week boss

[gmdinformation]

Funny, I was just thinking how amatuerish the lyrics were and little they had to say.

[povertiescage]

the real fucken deal hear fuck a lable and the fans the coyote is the fan dope man keep it up i never thought of something like this and its all free well almost get it

[aplsap]

very very nice song and a beautifull "clip" you gave us jerry, thank you very much. Was looking for your CD here in holland but unfortunatly didn't found it so now i enjoy your free songs from your site.

greatings from holland

Albert

[eliezekiel]

WOW

[TheJesmonde]

well done, awesome song and such an original way to do the film clip, love the spooky start..........

[Dennisknutsson]

Hey. I really like that you went through all that trouble driving out there in the early morning and powering up all that stuff. Must have felt strange even too you?

Anyway, I dig this song very much. Give my regards to Eddie whenever you see him.

[Gulleplutten987]

This is a very wonderful song, and how you recorded it, it's an art. You're incredibly great Jerry and I admire you alot.. unique voice!

[AmurgAprins]

It's the most amazing song i've ever heard , been listening to it and all the covers on youtube for days now.Thank you Jerry Hannan!

[MilkBanner]

Hey, you wouldnt happen to be related to the Hannons in Dublin,would ya?

Im Mary Hannons grandaughter :)

[nicoheroin]

thank you jerry for putting words on my feelings! greetings from sweden

[gracestarbird]

Have been listening to this ever since the film Grizzly Man came out and have had it on my You Tube playlist a long time - now to finally comment on it's power. Thank you Jerry. Amazing video and my favorite version of the song ever...

[jerryhannan]

Thanks Grace! Jerry

[gracestarbird]

You are so welcome...and I meant "Into the Wild" - not Grizzly Man. LOL! Some days my brain is just MIA. Sorry!

[funlivelife]

Grizzly Man for Into the wild.....muhahahahaha.........­what kinda pot do you smoke man?? I wish I had it......its fuckin' hilarious....

[gracestarbird]

Not pot and that would be wo-man. I do not know what was wrong with me! Sure wasn't THINKING though. However, they are both sad tragic stories that take place in the wilderness with good music. Jerry was probably like WTF is she talking about Grizzly Man for? Ha, ha!

[funlivelife]

Hahaha sorry gracestarbird....I should have figured out from the name.....but I thought it could be an emo dude who's into unicorn's and rainbows and shit.....or you could just take 'man' as an exclamation like "Grace, you're pretty fucking hilarious, man!"....uknowhatimean???

[t00117598]

@gracestarbird thats so weird i just finished watching grizzly man and decided to put on eddie vedders version of this song. i saw in the comments section that jerry in fact wrote the song so i decided to check it out. i guess herzog both brought us here... although i still prefer vedders version.

[curiousgeorge555]

Incredibly beautifully moving song. Loved the Coyote too. ~cg5

[TheTURKTUNES]

This is just Beautiful Brother! Peace TURK

[JSPhilbrick]

Just the fact that there's a cover with more hits than this one tells you a lot.

Amazing....

[godmademeblue]

I can't decide between this and the Eddie Vedder version.

Both fantastic.

[bishalnisthuri]

beautiful.

[19leon73]

This lyrics sends chills down my span...

[Piere8520]

Fantastic song, and great video too!

[someoneinthewww]

B E Y O U TI FULL

[cpetersman]

Great song.... and great video too, congratulations

[unlicdil]

Jerry sang this at a gig I was doing in Tralee Ireland. I didnt know who he was. Gad bless Jerry and thanks

[bdvzim]

Great song!

[lethe2008]

long...

[lethe2008]

lonf life to the irish singer...

[s1ddharta]

so society is jerry hannan's piece?

whatever, is great

[kcturnermusic]

yup ! :-)

[leecamer]

for one man to make such a wonderful film is testimony to his genius

[ikbenjosef]

hey whoever he is ... did you pass on the lyrics to eddie.. anyways both of you are good at singing... loved this song as much as the other.. cheers!

[fka322]

Jerry Hannan wrote it and they both performed on it. Hannan can be heard playing guitar and singing background vocals on Vedder's version of the song.

[kvnmcwebn]

dang

[Pootie88]

man as much as i like vedders cover i still think that its your song and they should have put your recorded version in the film instead cause man this song rules

[JohnZackarias]

This song is a true masterpiece.

[turdshaper]

so beautiful

[Lepersandman]

One of the best songs I ever heard! Thank you Jerry :)

[jegz37]

Very nice vid and cover !

Thank you.

[adrianotamo]

ottimo!!

i love it

[kihlgren90]

hey you now what. it dosen't matter, you don't need to write it like that eitherway. you makes it sound like it is only pricks like him in sweden. And kryptonjungle you don't need to tell me why he worte "stay in sweden". he told me that himself. well hope we can skip this shit now.

[kihlgren90]

Great music. I love this song, but i think it's a better version with eddie vedder. I just gonna ask kcturnermusic why he say "puddski, your an idiot...stay in swedan." omg so you mean just becuase he says something like that he is from sweden? omg you are an idiot if someone are!

[kcturnermusic]

his profile says sweden

[kryptonjungle]

he said hes from swedan because he looked at his profile and it says hes from swedan.... So maybe learn to look before you talk.

[DaveDaddario]

this is truely the truth,an excilent song

[jbrow103]

oh my god.

[18punky18]

oddio meno male che c'è vedder...

[xXFinnOleJensenXx]

absolut gefühlvoll, wirklich schön!

is there more of you on youtube?

[kcturnermusic]

puddski, your an idiot...stay in swedan.

[eppeone]

WOW!.. Just terrific..

Good concept, brilliantly executed, with a powerful song (and underlying message) to give it momentum..

Very well done, brother..

[ADimitris]

great

[DanTheDiggler]

best ever written

[adrianotamo]

The Best

[TracySdot]

Simple, Elegant, Classy.... Bravo my friend, Bravo....

[Shameful420]

Thats was cool

[RobreLawin]

Love it!!

[chjohnst]

awesome work

[ericjohnkaiser]

Great video Jerry...really great work !! Magic !! Have a great tour up to Seattle and I will hopefully see you in Portland. Take care,

Eric John Kaiser

[aganim07]

This is wonderful. Your song is a poem and your video is a lesson in humility. Thank you for that.

[senatorbrett]

Good job, man! Love it. I have loved this song for a long time, but I also like this a lot too. Keep it up!

[Vaerify]

The way this song unmasks societal madness just Strikes deep.

Brilliant video..exceptional and much needed work man.

[kingjeremy13]

Amazing song...thank you...it has a lot of meaning to me...nice idea for the video too...

[johnroymusic]

I love your tune man. It's always playing in my head as of recent. Please sell this track to iTunes so I can buy it. Love it.

[kcturnermusic]

yes he is. the exact same guitar used on the into the wild recording he did with ed ved.

[bubbs74055]

is he using a nylon string guitar

[paycheck18901]

this is maybe the best "music video" i've seen, if such a thing really exists. brilliant.

[TMLaine]

i was about to comment the exact same thing when you had stolen my words =P

[tutariello]

S T U N N I N G.

[devilslice]

beautiful.

[SyndeeCollison]

Jerry, amazingly well done. Loved it. It's so you. Thanks for sharing. When we gonna work out together?

Syndee

[SyndeeCollison]

Jerry, amazingly well done. Loved it. It's so you. Thanks for sharing.

[younghay]

Awesome Jerry! This song really makes you feel. Erik and Rebecca

[tigermind]

Very nice, Jerry! The headlands are a magical spot and your haunting, sweet music matches it at that early hour. Thanks!

[annamackinnon]

wow Jerry, that's amazing. I live very close to where you filmed this and know that coyote. Good job -- extremely moving.

[ayeamex]

this song brings tears to my eyes every time i listen to it. so pure and beautiful. i can't begin to explain my love for it...

[kvangrin]

Love the video. Boy, do I miss you!! Hope to see you soon. Kelley

[bmillenb]

(picking jaw up off the floor!) WOW!  Awesome Jer Bear....truly awesome!!

[lastgypsyking]

part two yeah i know they are there, but ya gotta hide em from me. There were only a couple spots, turn it up loud when u watch and u will find em.

lastly a longer slower fade up of the beach sounds. on a positive note great song and shoot. I loved how the snare was mixed, in it sounded like part of the atmosphere, and fit next to the nylon string like a puzzle piece.

Really great work, hope my comments are helpful..if not feel free to tell me 2 fuck off, either way though please rock on.

[calamityjane78]

That was incredible!! Gave me chills...how cool that the coyote seemed totally into the performance (smart coyote). See you soon, Jer.

[lastgypsyking]

part one

Beautiful work man without a doubt the best one man shoot no budget music video i've ever seen..I gotta be honest and not just tell ya how great you are. Here R the things i noticed that could be re-addressed . First is your vocal, there's a few tuning issues, nothing 2 bad until that last line ..yikes it kinda hurts 2 hear. The mix is almost perfect but i hear the vocal fx and when picture shows outside wide open spaces the brain doesn't want vocal fx,

[EMP88]

Beautiful video of this song - I love the quality of your voice and the perfect strumming on the guitar. The coyote added a perfect symbol to the whole message.

Thank you Jerry ... hope to catch you live again soon

in Marin.

[bagelfresh]

Jerry "Dances with Coyotes" Hannan.

Nice vid dude.

bagel

[cecilleB]

Admire all the work that went into this video.

Cringed when I saw the guitar out in the salt spray.. is this a back up guitar? And the coyote.. what a stroke of luck. I assume that footage was shot the same time as the vocal.

Finally, what is the vocal mike? Great sound from it.

Imspired way to intro a song and get people interested in your music. See you in San Anselmo again this year??

[nomad913]

That was awesome Jerry! True entertainment. Something made with bare-bones resources and yet so complete. Cheers and Thank you.

[ThePowerofFritz]

My brother... God was in FANTASTIC mood when she created you! You're truly FRITZING in this amazing life.

[acousticmenace]

very cool! beautiful song

[kcturnermusic]

Amazing Job making this video Jerry!

[rdevries10]

love this song, lyrics and music just brillant
