@@DaddGreensPizza, now bud, I do appreciate and jam to this song. But you actually think that this song it better than EVERYTHING by Aretha Franklin? Or by Stevie Wonder? Or Prince? Or Madonna? Or Tupac? Or Sting? Or Parliament Funkadelic? Or Earth, Wind, & Fire? Or Bob Marley? Or Jimi Hendrix? Greater than ANYTHING from the Jazz era or Rock'n'Roll era or Funk era? Y'all do realize that something can be awesome and not have to be the best, correct?
this song is a big deal in my life. im grateful for seeing this go through its entire transformation from this to the live version , this meant so much to me on so many levele.s
I remember hearing this late night on a Sunday on Power106 and fell in love. Was a huge Neptunes fan at this point. Randomly found a used version of this cd at a pennywise record store a few days later. A year later the official cd came out. Loved both but always preferred this version of “In search of”…hopefully it makes it way to streaming at some point

This song was/is a gift to me from a higher power. I have a story bout how I discovered it. Like to hear it? Here it goes: I would hang out around the Virgin Mega Store in Time Square in NYC from 1998 to about 2001-ish. I would often buy CD's from that Virgin Mega Store. One day I purchase an album.. I think it was Everlast's first album, Forever Everlasting. I found it under a CD display and it was filthy and had a few dry liquid stains on the plastic which could have been mouse urine but I wanted the album so I purchased it anyway. They wiped it off with something and put it in a bag with a few other promotional items. This happened around "Black History Month" and there was a Black History Month promotional CD in the bag with a few songs on it. I already LOVED N.E.R.D.'s songs "Lapdance", "Rock Star" & "What's Wrong With Me?". I could see there was a N.E.R.D. song on the promotional CD called "Run To The Sun". I took it straight home and put the CD into my not so mini stereo and I instantly fell in love with the song. I was an official N.E.R.D. fan after that. I still own that same promotional CD and always kept Run To The Sun in my music rotation since 2000, when I received the promotional CD with the song on it. I purchase the 2002 album at 12am when it was released. I loved the album but was mildly disappointed to discover the album was redone with live instruments. They should have made it a double album with the studio and rock versions of the album as a set.
Had absolutely no idea there was an electronic version of this album, so it’s pretty cool discovering this for the first time :) one of my favorite albums oat
i live in the uk and these tracks had ingrained themselves before they re-recorded the album. so naturally i thought the rock versions didn't hold up. i'm pretty sure most of europe felt the same, these were terrific records. but i prefered alien over aliens and the terminator over terminator 2.
@@david_king_music that snare and hats have something special to them. The light chord progression that’s super digital… similar to that era hits so much differently.
I first heard this version/song about 1 year before the rock version was released. It came on a black history month promotional CD when I purchased a cd at Virgin mega store in manhattan 200. I had to keep that promo cd because I liked the original version much better.
This version is the best because it's rare to come by now. I got the hard copy of this version back when it came out. Still have it. Burned it onto my computer some years ago and just held onto it. Have it in my phone too. Can't be found on any streaming platforms. Only the live rock version with Spymob.
[Intro: Pharrell Williams] Before you go, I wanna talk to you (Yeah, two, yeah) [Verse 1: Pharrell] Thinking about the time we share, and how I wasn't there (Uh-huh) It hurt me, these people overwork me Then I heard maybe soon, you'll leave (No) Excuse me, Lord, if you have tricks up your sleeve (Please) I'm not ready to be bereaved I know I'm always asking for something, or another But this time, it's just time, 'cause I love her (I just love her) But baby, if He don't change his mind or fate or time, yo, I want to leave you with this line [Chorus: Pharrell] It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Yo) It's that I love you, girl, and (Love you, girl) And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's just go) And never come back, yeah (Look) [Verse 2: Pharrell] Yesterday, I tied two rocks together that symbolize our lives And threw them in the ocean (In the ocean) Now they're on the ocean floor coastin', 'til they stop rollin' so far That no sonar would list them (They won't see 'em) To the point that no one would even believe that we existed (No) I know that may sound twisted (Nevermind now) But my neglect is killing me, I feel so guilty (I feel guilty) Please, have faith if you feel me (Please) [Chorus: Pharrell] It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Come on, look) It's that I love you, girl, and (Love you, girl) And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's just go) And never come back, yeah (Ever) It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Hey, love you, girl) It's that I love you, girl, and And I wish we could run to the sun And never come back, yeah [Verse 3: Pharrell] Though you're probably feeling blue, and you'll do what you must do I hope you know, I'd hand the skies to you (Hey) I'm so embarrassed for mankind They have the nerve to let their weapon shine, they're so stupid But they not know you're about to fly high Away with the wings that God will give you someday (Hey) I'm not jealous, I just can't take it (No, so hard on me) S.O.S. to your ears, the only thing I ever feared was this day, and having to say (No) [Chorus: Pharrell and Shay] It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Yeah, love you, girl) It's that I love you, girl, and (Love you, yeah) And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's go) And never come back, yeah (Yeah) It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Let's go, come on) It's that I love you, girl, and (Yeah) And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's go, come on) And never come back, yeah (Yeah, yeah) It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Let's go, come on, love you) It's that I love you, girl, and And I wish we could run to the sun And never come back (Let's go together, and live home forever) (Forever, live home forever) (Let's go together, and live home forever) (Forever, live home forever) (Let's go together, and live home forever) (Forever, live home forever) (Let's go together, and live home forever) (Forever, live home forever) [Outro: Pharrell] I love you, I love you Run! And never come back, I'm trippin' Whatever you need, I'm here for you, I love you
Maybe he meant how sometimes the negative and evil things of the world (greed, illnesses, death, hatred etc) shine more than the positive ones. I could be wrong tho..I'm not Pharrell 💀
@@hailiesbong2734 i actually found a way to still listen to the whole album, you can search up “in search of 2001 zip” and you can download all the songs
Used to skate in the early hours in the morning when it was still dark to get away from life , I'm forever grateful for this song
Always loved the original version over the rock version!
the OG versions is soooo much better!
SOOO much better .
Never felt that band version either, original was way nicer
My vinyl has this as a bonus track

This takes me back to high school... wow those days were good....
This classic to this day takes me back to my senior year in VA. #757
This album was heavily slept on.
this the version i always heard as a kid
The rock version with live instruments hits different! Still the best song off of one of the greatest albums of all time!!! N.E.R.D. #VA

Much prefer this version. Both nice.
Just found out about the original verison today, Glad I found it, I obviously prefer this one over the rock version
Late>Never
This planet will never know how much I love this "original" song.❤
And Never Come Back.
Memories. Underrated album.
This version is raw but I heard the 2002 reReleased version first and that version has stuck with me for half of my life. They're both pretty amazing.
og beat is more dreamy while 2002 version more lively and has vocals mixed better
I need them to release this version on iTunes!

You gotta admit "aliens" was pretty damn good too haha
@@isaacgonzalez7040 man late response but aliens is one of the best sequels of all time
Exactly. The originals were better
reminds me of high school..
I'll take the 2001 version of In Search of over anything … my fav album of all time….💙
Bought the rare 2001 version on eBay. Great find.
What! Never knew about this version until now 😂
This version was INFINITELY better than what got released internationally. I still have the CD somewhere...need to dig it out.
Why is it infinitely better?
@@a.taylor8294 because it was their first true expression of the music. Not some affected and manipulated crap.
@@Gadgetsjon, thanks for the explanation! I can feel you on that

@@david_king_music that snare and hats have something special to them. The light chord progression that’s super digital… similar to that era hits so much differently.
Love this versión. Unique and Perfomance sound.

I realise this song is perhaps not about your girl leaving you, but someone you love about to pass away. 😔
This song is actually dedicated to his grandma passing away
Oh shit! I haven’t heard this version since freshman year of undergrad!
I like the Spymob version, but this one is superior. Favorite part at 2:58 when the beat drops off for a second and comes back.
Thank you so much for re-uploading this, you are an absolute Legend!✌🏿👊🏿

Yo! I think I have the same one. It has the other version of this song, as well as "Tainted" by Slum Village and a song by Scarface.
I had that same promotional cd. Got it from the Kwanzaa fest here in my city that used to go down every year in the 90s
Wow! I’m just finding out about this one! Mind blown 🤯
Happy you got to listen to this rare unicorn track
Fave version
Happy bday to this album! 3/12/22 … saved my life

[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
Before you go, I wanna talk to you (Yeah, two, yeah)
[Verse 1: Pharrell]
Thinking about the time we share, and how I wasn't there (Uh-huh)
It hurt me, these people overwork me
Then I heard maybe soon, you'll leave (No)
Excuse me, Lord, if you have tricks up your sleeve (Please)
I'm not ready to be bereaved
I know I'm always asking for something, or another
But this time, it's just time, 'cause I love her (I just love her)
But baby, if He don't change his mind or fate or time, yo, I want to leave you with this line
[Chorus: Pharrell]
It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Yo)
It's that I love you, girl, and (Love you, girl)
And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's just go)
And never come back, yeah (Look)
[Verse 2: Pharrell]
Yesterday, I tied two rocks together that symbolize our lives
And threw them in the ocean (In the ocean)
Now they're on the ocean floor coastin', 'til they stop rollin' so far
That no sonar would list them (They won't see 'em)
To the point that no one would even believe that we existed (No)
I know that may sound twisted (Nevermind now)
But my neglect is killing me, I feel so guilty (I feel guilty)
Please, have faith if you feel me (Please)
[Chorus: Pharrell]
It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Come on, look)
It's that I love you, girl, and (Love you, girl)
And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's just go)
And never come back, yeah (Ever)
It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Hey, love you, girl)
It's that I love you, girl, and
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
[Verse 3: Pharrell]
Though you're probably feeling blue, and you'll do what you must do
I hope you know, I'd hand the skies to you (Hey)
I'm so embarrassed for mankind
They have the nerve to let their weapon shine, they're so stupid
But they not know you're about to fly high
Away with the wings that God will give you someday (Hey)
I'm not jealous, I just can't take it (No, so hard on me)
S.O.S. to your ears, the only thing I ever feared was this day, and having to say (No)
[Chorus: Pharrell and Shay]
It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Yeah, love you, girl)
It's that I love you, girl, and (Love you, yeah)
And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's go)
And never come back, yeah (Yeah)
It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Let's go, come on)
It's that I love you, girl, and (Yeah)
And I wish we could run to the sun (Let's go, come on)
And never come back, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
It goes while you're here, I want to tell you somethin' (Let's go, come on, love you)
It's that I love you, girl, and
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back
(Let's go together, and live home forever)

[Outro: Pharrell]
I love you, I love you
Run!
And never come back, I'm trippin'
Whatever you need, I'm here for you, I love you
This is the best version!! Man i really hated they did an “acoustic version” and they ruined the album imho…The originals are far superior
Four people flew past the sun.
"So embarrassed for mankind to have the nerve to let their weapons shine". Wonder what Pharrell meant by that.
Maybe he meant how sometimes the negative and evil things of the world (greed, illnesses, death, hatred etc) shine more than the positive ones. I could be wrong tho..I'm not Pharrell 💀
This songs never supposed to be a rock version
