Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (Live at Brighton Great Escape 2010)

[@brendonmurphy6180]

Checking in 13 years later. Still slaps.

[@ConnorJohnson318]

Bruh, it slaps hard. Can't believe like... that's a long time. This came out when people still made mix CDs.

[@JosephCouncill]

The King of Staten Island got me back into it

[@jeffballzhuge4924]

Murdering it still...

[@alissabeingme]

Who’s here 10 years later??? I will never stop coming back...this rendition and performance is perfection🧐👌

[@doc9448]

This is legendary

[@CoolHand-zn7zn]

I have been listening to this version for a few years now and it is perfect. This was my song when I became a father in 2014 (pursuit of happiness) and when I heard this very specific version I became so attached. Like imprinting.

[@Gugasales2444]

Eu!

[@kandykuts]

I'm back lol

[@thedfferencetab1977]

🙋🏽

[@rickymaldo7363]

I just got back from Afghanistan when this first came out. I was a huge kid cudi fan and this cover gave me so much comfort. Love it love it

[@AGunTotenHippie]

She made it her own and absolutely killed it. One of the best covers ever done

hey, I also just covered pursuit of happiness and would love to hear your thoughts good or bad. sending love from Turkey

[@93babyface1]

The way the guitar ends it off with that last note was sick and her way of singing is so beautiful

[@normanmcevoy3782]

This youtube comment is one of the most hyperbolic statments of all time. Wait that was hyperbole to. Fuck I'm stuck in a hyper hyperbole loop hole

[@KayGee13]

Agreed 100%

[@keijohoo]

100% true, getting goosebumps everytime listening to this masterpiece!

[@RaissaFerrari-yz8nu]

Here we are... 2024! and still one of my fav covers!

[@gnomuka]

Absolutely best cover 2024 i mean ever

[@Fvbi0]

When she starts saying hands on the wheel , it's just great

[@BatootGamer]

I only listen to it just for that specific part lol

hey, I also just covered pursuit of happiness and would love to hear your thoughts good or bad. sending love from Turkey

[@michaelrobinson1074]

Only reason I come to This video

[@1hundredyeye841]

I read this comment as she said it

[@Tillipillihousu]

What does it mean?

[@bharrow]

12 years later and still the greatest cover ever! Love you Lissie!

[@KayGee13]

Damn. I can remember my sister showing me this video as my introduction to her. One of the best things she's ever done for me, lol.

[@franciscoguevara9727]

[@darko714]

I’m a big fan of the original and imho Lissie’s cover is first rate.

[@thedeepblueskys]

Yeah Loudermilk here…. I actually just watched this three times in a row. Mind is blown!

[@Mariah_1038]

I am obsessed with this cover!!

[@chrisr8535]

I haven't listened to this in years, still gives me chills

[@raymanlegy]

Got to see lissie live one summer. It was a great show.

[@bravosxodus6596]

Probably the best cover of any song ever.

[@SC-lo4mp]

Bravos Xodus 10000,0000% absolute genius

[@seabassfish6950]

Close second, Best cover song ever is Hurt by Johnny Cash, Trent Reznor from Nine inch nails even publicly said, its Johnny Cash's song now.....

[@day245]

Seabass Fish no way. love Cash, but he ruined the song. Even changes the lyric

[@jgakpp]

[@Ottotherepoman1]

u jokin right? is this some multi levelled layer of sarcasm?

[@tjapsey]

This is probably the best cover I’ve ever heard

[@woody1380]

Loudermilk brought me to you and I'm so glad it did. Your voice and songs are incredible.

[@gnomuka]

This is just mind blowing cover ever

[@michaelrichards5725]

The video that made me fall in love with her. The industry is a joke! Lissie is really good and deserved a better chance.

[@ledzeppelinbabe123]

Sitting here listening to this 7 years after first hearing this cover. I listened to this on repeat in my truck and lived by this song for a summer. Nothing will compare to speeding down a backroad in my pickup at 2am with my boys in the back, windows down living like we didn't have tomorrow to wake up to. Everyone should let go and live it up like that at least once in their life. No fear, no worries about what might come tomorrow. I would give anything for one more week of the summer this song inspired.

[@aarnoutvandenende9519]

Same bro, i had this blasting on the beach in the summer with my boys in the netherlands. Damn those summers...

[@thomaspayne3186]

"If I Fall If I Die Know I Lived It To The Fullest..."!

[@ulver1187]

For us it was about us all being blown away by the song. Everyone having had Molly hahahs

[@deepfried13]

I think the song was about the folly of looking for happiness in substances, but i'm glad you have good memories of it

[@day245]

Aarnout Vandenende dont play music on the beach

[@stevedeebsdibianca2346]

"hands on the wheel...kickdrum. high hat." --sooooo sick

[@debomb721]

dude the bass player singing, playing bass and playing drums at the same time is absolutely nuts

[@AshleyH-kh8vj]

I will always come back to this cover. Amazing

[@MrJV309]

Fun fact# lissie was my church camp counselor back in the day. Couple years older than me. She later went on to spit in the vice principles of our high schools face because he wouldn't let sing the national anthem before a bball game. Love this chick. #rocktown

[@youtriedful]

I remember downloading this video as mp3 and I barely understood a word of english at that time but I still memorized everything even her monologue at the beginning.

[@jamestherockwilson3931]

I did the same when I was younger and still learning english! Not with this video tho but still, I'd take a music video and download it (wild for the night by asap rocky) so I'd hear random things for like 2 minutes straight and when I heard the kids in the video talking, I'd know when the beat would start. Simpler times

[@noahsepke333]

THATS HOW I FOUND IT! BY accident i was looking for the real version

[@lstarbeauty]

I love this story you guys !❤️

hey, I also just covered pursuit of happiness and would love to hear your thoughts good or bad. sending love from Turkey

[@ericwise7]

11 years later and I always find myself back here. Her energy matches the song - perfection

[@jonathontruax3468]

Might be one of the greatest covers ever. She let it be what it was and still made it her own. She embodied Cudi's story and told it as her own. Those were his words, but that was her pain. Beautiful inside and out. What a badass.

[@collinmichaelkahn3918]

So we’ll put. I was trying to come t but ya’ll knocked it out of the park. His original still gives me chills. If you were dealing with mental health anguish/addiction/s-word ideation/just overwhelmed circa 2010/11, you knew and swore by his song. I think history will co-sign it as one of the most important expressions of a specific kind of pain you had to be there like we were to get/understand. So many layers too. Ethnicity, sexuality, struggles with substance abuse, the prison of male-masculine identity for some people, the feelings of inferiority you get in a world where everything is perfect or striving for perfection and on display and the gonzo toll it can take on all of our lives and minds, just seeing everybody else with their curated lives, cultivated to inspire envy and make one feel less than. Think that’s why her version works so well, besides her very obviously real talent (“Best Days” is like a *soul* song for me): because the song adds layers or opens and reveals something entirely different depending on the person singing it. But Scott will always have my heart for his. It never fails me/us.

[@kirstendieker9798]

Jonathon, YOU NAILED IT! I'm a huge cover connoisseur. And I couldn't have said it better about what makes a great cover, what justifies its existence.

[@QonVince]

She hits sorrow like no other, can feel that one in my spine!

[@Toriable1]

She is so free while singing this. It puts me at peace.

[@SaginawKr3w]

currently self quarantined in 2020 listening to this. looking outside. missing my friends. don't know when it will end.

[@deepfried13]

We're in this together. This too shall pass

[@kalliopikardoulia]

Yes, we definitely are. Everything's gonna be alright. Just keep hands on the wheel 😉 Lots of love from Greece

[@RandomnessTube.]

Best cover I've ever heard of any song.

[@IndieCindy3]

Only Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” tips this one. Lissie’s cover blew me away and converted me into a fan of hers back in 2012. I still come back to it and am in awe each time.

[@dionysuslevin9222]

One of my favorite covers of all time!! Been jammin' this one since high school when my friend Andrew showed me while we were robo-trippin in Oregon

[@JoltYourLife]

thirteen years later, still get chills

[@2much_thrill]

ぞっとするほどいい曲　great song !

[@datcat0000]

She performed this while pissed and sang better live than plenty of singers do sober.

[@2dhavingavietnamflashback690]

i mean i don't know any legit shit about singing but i'd think it's a lot more natural to sing shit faced. you can see that when she like goes absolutely crazy it sounds best.

[@anthonydavid6703]

singing is easier wasted

[@lailahepburnandmischka]

I sing better pissed. nope, not just in my head, confirmed it with recordings, I'm too nervous sober so my voice shakes lol proper shitfaced then obviously I'd sing badly but midway pissed I function better at anything, including just getting through the day lol

[@MousikaE8ismenos]

Is the dude actually playing the bass guitar and the drums at the same time??

[@MsRichardyang]

yes and he sings too

She's giving the song a different meaning

[@aliahgarcia2833]

10 years later and I still get chills. 11 year old me lived for the Hands on The Wheel part ugh

[@collinmichaelkahn3918]

You were def a lot like emo me at 10/11. Already peaking into the world of these deeply complex songs about hurt and pain neither of us should’ve known or been curious about at that age. Thank god people like Cudi and Lissie exist to provide the vehicle for our exorcising these demons. ❤️

[@prodspill]

Damn. This is crazy good. ScHoolboy Q, Hucci, and many other artists have sampled this, and goddamn it's good. Chords are incredible. That crowd got one lucky ass performance.

[@SUPERxPOLO]

Did you not Here Cudi's version first?

[@eletor]

Winné His version sucks.

[@MrLaddyLucks]

Winné Both versions are exceptional in there own right. That's the amazing thing about music, is it can influence and stir up emotions in people of all age, genders, religion and sex. Music is purely subjective. To some it may sound phenomenal, and to others it may sound dreadful. What do you merit a version of a song? By its popularity? Then you have to take into consideration of all the variables. One artist may have a previous following or just have been around much longer than other. Marketing from the publishers would also skew any information gathered. (IE: If one demographic of the population is much larger than another) Or would you just assume the notion that if it came first, then its better? In that case than human progression is all but null. Which is just absurd. .. Just sit back and enjoy the music. It may not strike a chord within you as true as another version, but just remember that we are all different.

[@SUPERxPOLO]

Laddylucks Buddy, i LOVE this version very much.. the woman is amazing. I was jut tellin that twat he's an idiot for saying it is better than Cudi's.

[@SUPERxPOLO]

Laddylucks Basically, Whether something is good or not IS NOT an Opinion. Whether you like something or not obviously IS an opinion, but whether something is good or not is a fact. You CAN'T say that Kid Cudi's version of Pursuit of Happiness is not anything but BRILLIANT. You may however say you don't like it but saying it "sucks" is simply wrong.

[@jacksonpardo5939]

OMG, the prefect rendition 😮😮😮🎉

[@jamesmacallister7629]

Just can’t get enough of her music

[@sublimesubaru2857]

Nothing I love more than stumbling across music I used to jam to back in day. KZbin should create throwback Playlist's for you every 5-10 years. What I listend to in college is so much different than now.

[@AutomationCodeMonkey]

Gotta be honest, this has a great 90's grunge feel to it. Well done.

This cover is beautiful. The emotion in her voice and the guitar, bass and drums all capture the uneasy, disjointed feel of the original. It's the feeling of attempting to treat depression with too many parties, tons of alcohol and loads of drugs
