Christopher McCandless!

[terezinha3377]

Adoro essa banda ela é fantastica

[Alex McFarland]

This song is clearly written for me

[hightilidie1]

fourstar super champion funzone

[beefpeaches3]

Please help find song!!!

That guitar strumming in the beginning sounds like another song

I've been trying to find it but i don't know the name

There's a part in the chorus that goes

"cuz i won't wait for the ---- to grow again"

Or something like that

Does anyone know what the hell I'm taking about?

[AgentGames35]

It sounds like the Alex in this song dies or something, so...

[TechMCPVPHD]

this reminds me of brother alec, who recently went to college. the funny thing is at 2:46 my dad starts alot of fights and gets almost kicked out of the house. funny how this sorta connects to my life ._.

[Puneet Dhillon]

I'd name my kid laika if my last name was boss.

[Abby B-Rugs]

Chris McCandless, such an inspiration. He knew the truths that so few come to realize

[Greek2xprotein]

Definitely going to agree with you there. Nothing in the lyrics or the video suggests a connection to McCandless.

I don't agree that he was a naive fool, but the song isn't referencing him.

[PurpleIsAmazin]

Ew, Christopher McCandless. What a naive fool.

I'd say it's more about Aleksandr Ulyanov, seeing as the video is very Eastern European-esque. He was the older brother of Vladmir Lenin who attempted to assassinate Alexander III.
