Who’s here 10 years later??? I will never stop coming back...this rendition and performance is perfection🧐👌
This is legendary
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.
Eu!
I'm back lol
🙋🏽
Checking in 13 years later. Still slaps.
Bruh, it slaps hard. Can't believe like... that's a long time. This came out when people still made mix CDs.
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
The way the guitar ends it off with that last note was sick and her way of singing is so beautiful
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
Agreed 100%
100% true, getting goosebumps everytime listening to this masterpiece!
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
When she starts saying hands on the wheel , it's just great
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
Only reason I come to This video
I read this comment as she said it
What does it mean?
Yeah Loudermilk here…. I actually just watched this three times in a row. Mind is blown!
Here we are... 2024! and still one of my fav covers!
12 years later and still the greatest cover ever! Love you Lissie!
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.
ua-cam.com/video/GhQyMzlXY1o/v-deo.html this cover with kid cudi singing and dancing with her in paris is > as good as i t gets
I’m a big fan of the original and imho Lissie’s cover is first rate.
I will always come back to this cover. Amazing
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.
Same bro, i had this blasting on the beach in the summer with my boys in the netherlands. Damn those summers...
"If I Fall If I Die Know I Lived It To The Fullest..."!
For us it was about us all being blown away by the song. Everyone having had Molly hahahs
I think the song was about the folly of looking for happiness in substances, but i'm glad you have good memories of it
Aarnout Vandenende dont play music on the beach
She's giving the song a different meaning
dude the bass player singing, playing bass and playing drums at the same time is absolutely nuts
Loudermilk brought me to you and I'm so glad it did. Your voice and songs are incredible.
Probably the best cover of any song ever.
Bravos Xodus 10000,0000% absolute genius
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.....
Seabass Fish no way. love Cash, but he ruined the song. Even changes the lyric
Word.
u jokin right? is this some multi levelled layer of sarcasm?
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
thirteen years later, still get chills
"hands on the wheel...kickdrum. high hat." --sooooo sick
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.
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
THATS HOW I FOUND IT! BY accident i was looking for the real version
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
She hits sorrow like no other, can feel that one in my spine!
Just can’t get enough of her music
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.
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.
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.
Feels like another life I was rocking this tune with my ex wife as she was becoming my wife again. Strange times for sure. She’s back to being the ex and I’m back to all the feels. Same old situation I suppose.
Man do I love Lissie’s deep voice. And her hauling on that Tequila…what a woman. And I mean that with the utmost respect.
❤️🌞🙏🏼📿🌱🍄
i bet cudi loves this
There is a performance with him, he's star struck in it haha

11 years later and I always find myself back here. Her energy matches the song - perfection
This is probably the best cover I’ve ever heard
She is so free while singing this. It puts me at peace.
This inspired me to quit my shitty job
yasss!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Follow your dreams...... 😉🙏🏽
Tis Cara Trut nah, its been a year and a half since I quit and it was a good decision looking back at it
I was trying to mention the 'Follow your dreams' guy.
+DrDadak im 18, looking for work rn, waiting on a few interviews, as well as working on my music. just had a job at a burger joint.
This song has helped me. I was gonna continue but I realized I didn’t have to . “This song helped me” and that’s enough
Nothing I love more than stumbling across music I used to jam to back in day. UA-cam should create throwback Playlist's for you every 5-10 years. What I listend to in college is so much different than now.
"Weed and brew, weed and brew, life for me is just weed and brew..."
just weed no brew dude..
christer pettersson both tbh
hey, I also just covered pursuit of happiness and would love to hear your thoughts good or bad. sending love from Turkey
I discovered this video in 2014 and to this day it remains the best. Brings me good memories
“And I know …. Everything that shines ain’t always going to be gold.”
“I’ll be fine once I get”
She performed this while pissed and sang better live than plenty of singers do sober.
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.
singing is easier wasted
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
Gotta be honest, this has a great 90's grunge feel to it. Well done.
Not sure how this sounds grunge? Great performance anyways.
@@MrOjeeeeeThe Visuals and general look and vibe of the band is very grunge-esque.
i miss my childhood
Recognized your voice immediately and remembered this cover the second you appeared on Loudermilk, and it’s still just as amazing as I remember. ❤
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.
Did you not Here Cudi's version first?
Winné His version sucks.
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.
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.
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.
Things I LOVE about this :
- Her guitar is so out of tune
- Her lack of bra
- Shes drunk
WHY CAN'T ALL MUSICIANS BE THIS FUCKING REAL
and doesnt wear too much makeup !
+Shinde Nai why does her makeup matter,just curious.like what would be so bad if she was wearing more?
+Amy Reeve A lot of artists wear so fucking much makeup they might as well wear a mask. I like to see someones real face.
She looks so excited when she says, "I hope you like it" Can't help but smile at it
lol, burn all bra's. Free the titties. getem out get angry haha
she's really feeling the song, love it
Dam, I love this song and the way u do it Lissie.
currently self quarantined in 2020 listening to this. looking outside. missing my friends. don't know when it will end.
We're in this together. This too shall pass
Yes, we definitely are. Everything's gonna be alright. Just keep hands on the wheel 😉 Lots of love from Greece
Kalliopi Kardoulia yes it will be alright! Sending love from Michigan.
shit still isn't over, still rocking out though
@@TBrownProductions yeah I just listened to it some more!
One of the most passionate and skilled live performances I've seen in a long time. A favourite for sure!
Some things are just meant to be, and this is one of them.
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
By far away better than the originals hands-down straight up more passionate
10 years later and I still get chills. 11 year old me lived for the Hands on The Wheel part ugh
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. ❤️
ぞっとするほどいい曲 great song !
OMG, the prefect rendition 😮😮😮🎉
Best cover I've ever heard of any song.
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.
Best song on Pretty Sweet for sure, and Mariano killed it too. Perfection through and through. Respect!!
Anyone else notice the bassist is also playing the drums?! Crazy.
The video that made me fall in love with her. The industry is a joke! Lissie is really good and deserved a better chance.
Mariano`s lifestory plus his immaculate style makes this song complete!
She murdered this shit!
I found it!!!! I had this in my playlist and then I think it was taken down but what ever it was I was like NOoooo lol I spent some time looking for this song Lizzie! It’s just one of those songs you have to have! I was like man I remember this and that so I googled this and that and could not find it!!! TYJ one less thing that bothers me until I have completed or found it, “marked this one found!”
The best cover of a song ever . Fact . Video days led me here 😉
Is the dude actually playing the bass guitar and the drums at the same time??
yes and he sings too
Richard Yang Thanx for your answer. That guy's talented as fuck.
He is that's awesome check out shacky graves it's just awesome
Anybody know if that guy is actually Andrew Wyatt?
Lewis Keller
Who's here 12yrs later?🌻🦋🔮
Love you Lissie!!!!!
She nailed itt !! 2017 anyone ?
Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
Feelin' lit, feelin' light, 2 a.m. summer night
I don't care, hands on the wheel, drivin' drunk, I'm doin' my thing
Rollin' the Midwest side and out livin' my life, gettin' our dreams
People told me slow my roll, I'm screaming out, "Fuck that"
I'm gonna do just what I want and there ain't 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
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
So, 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 a.m., cold sweat, 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
You'd rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine (once I get it)
Yeah, 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
I'll be good
Hands on the wheel, uh-huh, fuck that
Hands on the wheel, kick drum, hi-hat
Hands on the wheel, uh-huh, fuck that
Hands on the wheel
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, yeah, I'll be fine once I get it
And 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
And I'll be good
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines, always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine, yeah
And I'll be good
Oh, hey-yeah, boy
Yeah, boy
I'm on the pursuit of happiness
SHe really did this song justice! Love this version Lissie!

One of the greatest covers of all time

This is the purest thing I’ve ever watched
Crush a bit, little bit
Roll it up, take a hit
Feelin' lit, feelin' like two A.M. 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 gettin' out dreams
People told me slow my roll
I'm screamin' out 'f*ck that'
I'mma do just what I want
Lookin' ahead, no turning 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
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I everyth
This song is PRETTY SWEET

It is 2022 and i’m a fan since 2016… but this 2010 cover is fantastic
The girl singing looks exactly like my best friend who’s been missing for 8 months, not her but this video makes my heart so happy, she loved music too.
Dope!
