Into the Wild Music Video - Audioslave I am the Highway

Into the Wild is a movie that tells the story of Christopher McCandless, aka Alexander Supertramp who abandoned the life that was expected of him by society and set off on a journey of adventure, survival and most importantly, self realization.

I was inspired by this movie and Mr. McCandless's story. Music is by another favorite band of mine, Audioslave. I hope you enjoy the video.

"Every man will surely die, but not every man will truly live."

Lyrics:
Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the Highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
'Cause I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night, the night..

Yeeah
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the Highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
But I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night, the night..
Yeeeh, Yeeeh, Yeeeh, Yeeeh.

@MRSRIFFRAFF Wow! Thank you - you are so kind. I am so honored that you play this video daily. Sorry, I didn't even know the video was temporarily down. Also, it sucks that this video is only 360p quality now - What is Youtube doing?

Awesome. I absolutely love this movie. I searched for the music video of "I Am the Highway" because i absolutely love this song too and thought it was incredible that someone put them together. Awesome.

First of all, this is the most fucking perfect thing ever. Into the Wild is my favorite book and movie. Christopher McCandless is my inspiration. And this song is superb. I loved both components of this video separately, and the fact that you combined them is just incredible.

Secondly, 3:35-4:15 made me cry.

Amazing song, amazing movie! Something that hits very close to home for me as I've always been this type of person throughout life - someone who wants to break free of all the trappings of this society! Cornell absolutely nails it with the lyrics of this song!

I intend to drift away from society and live my life freely, away from the boons of cities and urbanizations.

To come to self-realization and be at peace with myself.

Being Anson's mom and driving him to make this journey today. we listened to this song.. and he said.."Wow mom this song is so F#cking appropriate if you think about it." Thank you so much for making this video match this song, because I cried listening to the song on the drive by myself home, and I am sooo crying now. But the tears are great, just like his journey will be!!
