Songs of Escape, of Soul, and Truth

Have you ever had a song or a grouping of songs that you can't listen to too much? Not because they are bad songs, or "just good to dance to" songs. No, a group of songs or a song you can't listen to too much because if you did you might just drop everything that society tells you "matters" and seek out something that really does. A song or songs that speak so directly to your soul that you are afraid it will burst forth and demand that you stop ignoring it. A song you can't listen to too often or you will quit your job, abandon your lease and drive off, only ever to be heard of in passing comments at roadside cafes and wavering memories of those who meet too many and know too few. Have you ever heard a song like that? I have several, and I've put links so you can listen to them below. Enjoy, and if you do run off...let me know first...perhaps I'll come along.

Both songs are from the Into the Wild soundtrack.
