Artist: Kid Cudi with Ratatat and MGMT
Year: 2009
Why I like this song:
This is a strange song: Taken on a surface level, it talks up doing what you want with no regrets and knowing it will eventually turn out to be the right decision - which was appeal enough for me.
But on closer examination, this outlook is being applied by a protagonist in an unhappy situation. And that's what makes it even better.
A pro-hedonistic song with depth? Who would've thunk it?
