This Song Rocks: Pursuit of Happiness


Original video located here. Accessed 8th July 2021

Song title: Pursuit of Happiness

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?
