Song of the Day #97

Still remember the first time I listened to this astounding track. The lovely piano, the smooth voice of Cudi, the amazing chorus and MGMT/Ratatat accompanying? Perfect.

Kid Cudi feat. MGMT & Ratatat- "Pursuit of Happiness" from Man on the Moon: The End of Day

"[VERSE 1:]

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit

Feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night.

I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin’ my thing

Rollin the Midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams

People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out "Fuck that"

Imma do just what I want lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back

if I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest

if I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets

[CHORUS]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.

[x2]

[VERSE 2:]

Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’

you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’

tell me what you know about them night terrors every night

5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies

tell me what you know about dreams, dreams

tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’

you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow

rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow

[CHORUS:]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good

[x2]

[Guitar Solo]

[CHORUS:]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness.

I know everything that shines ain't always gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good

I'm on the pursuit of happiness

And I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold, hey

I'll be fine once I get it, yeah

I'll be good

Pursuit of happiness, yeah

I don’t get it, I’ll be good"
