I was 10 when this song came out. I was in the back seat of my mom's car on the way home from school and a guy pulled up next to us to make a right turn. I heard like 5 seconds of it and it was the best song I'd ever heard. Then he drove away and I had no idea how to find it. Today I heard it in a movie trailer. I finally fuckin found it.
Fun fact. Actor Josh Harnett produced this video because they became friends at a show that Cudi had in New York and Harnett knew the act that had opened up for Cudi.
i have been playing this song every new years eve and every birthday i had for the last 10 years, today i am getting married and of course i played this as soon as i woke up, my woman is giving birth to our first child in the end of feb , and i will make sure this is the first song he hears when he is born :)
I just turned this jawn on for this first time in years cuz its randomly been stuck in my head and got goosebumps "what you know about night terrors? Nothing........ Ill be fine" shit hits different in a time like this.
Pete Davidson said that Kid Cudi’s music saved his life after his dad died. That’s probably why they used this song in the King of Staten Island trailer.
2 minutes in and I'm in tears. Haven't heard this since grade 10. This song hits different when you're an adult. Tell me what you know about night terrors.
No, I watched Project X again after a while and I am so jealous and cry when I watch it, this song gets me in my feels cause of that movie and this song is a vibe :)

congrats kid!!!! Make BIG, BIG waves! Bc you can!! Do the unexpected bc only yourself & ppl who don't care will hold you back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have heard this song a bunch. Just now learning that MGMT were on it. No wonder I like it so much. MGMT are amazing artists. Cudi is pretty legit, too.
To me the main theme in his music is coping with the fact that he is alone. Growing up in small town MN being the only black kid in town you really lose sense of self identity. And when we moved to a more urban area I quickly found out that I just as removed from the black community as I was from white people. Although Kid Cudi's life is and was completely different from mine I was able to find a bit of comfort knowing that I am not the only person dealing with being a Martian among men.
I suffered from substance abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts for years and my girlfriend had insomnia, anxiety attacks since young. This song holds a special place in both of our lives.
Used to roll around blaring this during my teenage years. Brings back memories to alot of times with people i no longer talk to at all. Everyone is a guest on your couch of life. They come and they go.
bro what is happening why is everyone feeling like this in 2021 all at the same time. It was just out of nowhere i suddenly want a girlfriend again i wanna go to parties n shit
@@seanieboy2542 same i think that we realized staying home is a waste of time, before we only did it in small doses so we didn't think it was that bad, now im stressing out about wasting my youth again, problem is I don't want to sacrifice school and a barely have any friends to have fun with lmao
Connect with your soul man, it's the same energy of the higher being that made us. Humans are very powerful and don't even know it. You'll feel much better and you'll see better.
And he still is. Not really a “kid”, but I come back to this one a lot. Heard it first in a rough time in my life. Im out rn, but the attitude still remains. Feeling empty a lot, running towards anything to make you feel excited or more accomplished, drive that empty feeling away. This definitely resonates, and I hope more people can find his music as the years go on.
My life is fucked right now I broke my angle and I feel like shit I can barely sleep and I have to have surgery Right now it can’t get much worse But his music is pushing me threw these tuff times I ain’t gonna give up Cause I’m not a quitter stay strong guys it always gets better 😎💪
@@Maximus5775 You can do this man! You're right; life gets unbelievably tough. But even in the darkest of moments, there is hope, or at least the potential for hope. You'll make it through.
Played this song at the end of my wedding ceremony, not the reception, the actual ceremony. I love this song so much I wanted everyone in my life to be a part of it during a very fitting moment. This one will be close to my heart forever.
listening to this in tearssss. I come from Syria and witnessed 3 years of war there, then moved to Sweden, the place I call home because I absolutely love it there but I've been living the worst 6 years of my life in Germany now, after my Family forced me to move here from Sweden, the country I fell in love with. Here I've been severely heartbroken multiple of times, got depression, anxiety and became a big time introvert with no friends. I hated the past 6 years I hate the person I've become.. Now I've graduated Highschool and I'm moving back to Sweden to pursuit my happiness. The only thing that kept me alive was music, and especially Kid Cudi, he saved me and my life. For that I'm always gonna be thankful to Cudders. I love you man, your music is my therapy & you are my savior.
mushrooms, man. trust me. I was a combat medic in the army & was deployed to Baghdad at the height of war. Came back with something called "treatment resistant depression" & after years on multiple antidepressants & calling VA suicide line several times a year, mushrooms were a gift from God. I understand what you're going through.
man shit's tough glad you're doing what's right for you and what makes you happy... some people really are ungrateful about life and take things for granted and stories like this are really eye openers imo
I remember listening to this when I was 10 years old. I’m now 21 years old battling addiction and just relapsed again while listening to this. I’m still on my pursuit of happiness. I’ll be fine once I get it. I’ll be good.
Kid Cudi was ahead of his time . He was first melody artist for this generation before Drake and Future . Also his emo style of music as well . He doesn’t get credit . He madly underrated
Cudi was a inspiration to us who we’re lonely, depressed and sad. His struggles with drug addiction, mental health and depression made us believe in one another through the beautiful art of music. Thank you Scott, for inspiring the next generation. We’re all chasing the pursuit of happiness. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@DuhhMize I think he’s more saying that we don’t really listen to him anymore and used was because he’s more of an older rapper and isn’t popular now.
@@brainiac940 ??? kid cudi is still insanely popular, just because he isnt at the same level of popularity 9 years ago doesnt mean he isnt popular. hes the 124th most listened artist in the entire world on spotify lmao
The most 2009 song ever - the wailing Ratatat guitars, MGMT lending their familiar vocals that fit perfectly into an emotional, electronic song, and of course a young artist whose debut album, sing-humming and vulnerable lyrics were taking the world by storm - incredible memories from all who were coming of age in that year.
I’m here from The King of Staten Island trailer. I completely forgot about how much this song meant to me. I heard it on the radio when i was 6 and my parents were always fighting. This song gave me a feeling like, someone was telling me “hey I know you’re feeling sad, and I think we both know this isn’t gonna work out, but I just want you to know this is gonna get better and you’ll be ok” It always made me cry but feel happy at the same time listening to this song. I just wanna say thank you to whoever picked the music for that trailer. You’ve awakened a childhood memory I forgot I ever had.
@@jessedecoteau4318 I used to have alot of anger in me when I was a teenager and I would listen to this song to calm me down and every time I hear this it makes me feel positive and confident
I remember when this song came out, i was 14 at that time. Back in the days everything was just about skating, drinking beers and cheap rum, smoking some bad weed and have fun with the hommies, now they are all in different places i dont know if they even recognize me now, we always listened to this song at every moment we could, now i listen it and reminds me to those times, im bout to turn 24, i've been struggling with a major depressive disorder since i was 18, bout a month ago the person i thought who was gonna spend her life with me, left for things that i cannot control, i've been really deep down since, but also i remember all the difficult shit i pass trough growing up in a country like Nicaragua, im still here, listening to that same song with a little smile on my face, cus despite everything all that bad shits that happens to you, theres still hope when u realize life is to short to just complain every day, i started to do some exercizes, walk every day, drink some water, eat some fruits. hug your mom, hug your dog, hug yourself, and even if i dont know u at all, i love u, everything shall pass
I used to cry myself to sleep listening to this song on my PSP back in high school 😭😭 Listening to this now brings back so many lonely memories my mind blocked out 😭😭😭 I never thought id get out of that dark place but here I am 😭😭😭 God is great... Thank you Kid Cudi for giving me this song as my best friend in high school ❤❤ Thank you so much
My best friend ever shot himself almost a week ago now. The only person I’ve ever opened up to. I love him so much I just want to see him again. I want him back. He loved this song just as much as me. I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same without him. I just want him back
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. He will still be with you, honour him by talking about him, remembering the good times you shared. You will get through this, look after yourself.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Psalm 34 King James Version 34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

I was on college campus the other day and this song was playing. I looked around remembered 5 years ago. No English, no money, no friends, no life. Now, I have all of them. The pursuit is almost over brothers. It will be over one day. Don't give up
Coming back to this song and listening to kid cudi is like reuniting with a good friend you haven’t seen in many years. The two of you haven’t missed a beat and pick up right where things left off.
2:38 - Enters Drake like a thief in the night, to pick up on Cudi's latest swag and see what hecan bite.... Drake been biting off poor dude's moves, style, like he's a rabbid doj....down to Drake's signature hand move, es kraesssie
Hey bro you’re right man!, if you like cudi’s music you will probably like mine too! Check me out fam! th-cam.com/video/5LwiC5bgiq0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=31Dby_wiZfwCSYoG
The way Cudi disguises his severely depressive thoughts behind melodic tunes and a mellow demeanor is an art in itself. It sucks to say, but those in the most pain possess the ability to create the truest art. Yo, Cudi, never give up on the pursuit.
I have tried so hard to beat the darkness in my life, but it follows me no matter how hard I try. I want to give up. So hard. I’m still holding on. My pursuit of happiness is not complete. Just gotta hold on.
No we are not in the same boat. I lost my job and in 2 month i can't pay my rent anymore. So stop bullshitting with your softyass and meanless word. Yall living in reality or are you just a spoiled teen ? Have you ever work ? Enjoying the ps5 your parent paid you? ... lmao you should all stop act like this is difficult for ya.
Tonight was the last night I'll spend with my high school friends, I've had 4 margaritas and 4 shots... and we're listening to this song to end the night. Goodbye childhood❤✌
I wonder how many people died prematurely because they justified excessively consuming substance or fell into alcohol abuse. They key is to be in good company and to look out for each other. Do not let them leave alone.
yep if i told my past self in 9th grade i’d still be here i would’ve laughed and even tho i don’t listen to cudi as much as i once did i can’t deny his musics impact on me in a positive way
Not too long ago, my son Michael Iron Mike Bluitt 27yrs old, passed on. He died of cancer, " acute lymphoblastic leukemia". My daughter Amber, asked me to listen to this song and it has a message for me. I'm afraid to hear this. All I can do is share it. I miss my son dearly. To me he was the man I raise.. Thanks
I found this like 2 days ago, I saw it in the 'King Of Staten Island' trailer and I hate to say this because of whats going on with it but, it was playing at the end of the final Pokimane stream and thats what really got me to go into a search for this thing. Happy I did, fucking legendary.
I know what you mean. Saw the news and came directly to this video to see how he showed us his struggle. Sending pure vibes to Cudi so he get stronger.
Mad respect to anyone who is still listening to this masterpiece

Pete Davidson said that Kid Cudi’s music saved his life after his dad died. That’s probably why they used this song in the King of Staten Island trailer.
He was listening to Kid Cudi in 2001 when he was 7 and Kid Cudi wasn't making music?
Tim Yac he probably meant a little later in his life. a seven year old doesn’t have a good understanding of death anyway
He’s also good friends with cudi

Feeling empty a lot, running towards anything to make you feel excited or more accomplished, drive that empty feeling away. This definitely resonates, and I hope more people can find his music as the years go on.
My life is fucked right now I broke my angle and I feel like shit I can barely sleep and I have to have surgery Right now it can’t get much worse But his music is pushing me threw these tuff times I ain’t gonna give up Cause I’m not a quitter stay strong guys it always gets better 😎💪
@@Maximus5775 You can do this man! You're right; life gets unbelievably tough. But even in the darkest of moments, there is hope, or at least the potential for hope. You'll make it through.

This song is timeless. 2024 and still a vibe.
listening to this in tearssss.
I come from Syria and witnessed 3 years of war there, then moved to Sweden, the place I call home because I absolutely love it there but I've been living the worst 6 years of my life in Germany now, after my Family forced me to move here from Sweden, the country I fell in love with. Here I've been severely heartbroken multiple of times, got depression, anxiety and became a big time introvert with no friends. I hated the past 6 years I hate the person I've become.. Now I've graduated Highschool and I'm moving back to Sweden to pursuit my happiness. The only thing that kept me alive was music, and especially Kid Cudi, he saved me and my life. For that I'm always gonna be thankful to Cudders. I love you man, your music is my therapy & you are my savior.
do what makes u happy ALWAYS… please try to never forget this ❤️
❤️❤️❤️🙌
mushrooms, man. trust me. I was a combat medic in the army & was deployed to Baghdad at the height of war. Came back with something called "treatment resistant depression" & after years on multiple antidepressants & calling VA suicide line several times a year, mushrooms were a gift from God. I understand what you're going through.
man shit's tough glad you're doing what's right for you and what makes you happy... some people really are ungrateful about life and take things for granted and stories like this are really eye openers imo
Goodluck friend... we're rooting for you 😊
Anyone here? Beginning of December still listening to this banger just vibing by yourself?

Yup

Kid Cudi was ahead of his time . He was first melody artist for this generation before Drake and Future . Also his emo style of music as well . He doesn’t get credit . He madly underrated
250million views are not something you call "underrated" mate
very well said
Tf you talking about underrated
Posted 12 years ago
he's known lol
Cudi was a inspiration to us who we’re lonely, depressed and sad. His struggles with drug addiction, mental health and depression made us believe in one another through the beautiful art of music. Thank you Scott, for inspiring the next generation. We’re all chasing the pursuit of happiness. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You make it sound like he's dead by saying "was"
@@DuhhMize I think he’s more saying that we don’t really listen to him anymore and used was because he’s more of an older rapper and isn’t popular now.
@@brainiac940 yessir he was.
@@brainiac940 ??? kid cudi is still insanely popular, just because he isnt at the same level of popularity 9 years ago doesnt mean he isnt popular. hes the 124th most listened artist in the entire world on spotify lmao
@@sergeantquackers7815 because of me
The most 2009 song ever - the wailing Ratatat guitars, MGMT lending their familiar vocals that fit perfectly into an emotional, electronic song, and of course a young artist whose debut album, sing-humming and vulnerable lyrics were taking the world by storm - incredible memories from all who were coming of age in that year.
that was his debut album? For real?!
@@ezzb Yessirrr
Well said 🙌
I wonder if cudi knows how many ppl hes saved with his music. Hes a Legend

Τhank me later,,
Imagine a rock and roll guy heard this first time in his life. I'm so in love! What a cold night drive jam!
I’m here from The King of Staten Island trailer. I completely forgot about how much this song meant to me. I heard it on the radio when i was 6 and my parents were always fighting. This song gave me a feeling like, someone was telling me “hey I know you’re feeling sad, and I think we both know this isn’t gonna work out, but I just want you to know this is gonna get better and you’ll be ok” It always made me cry but feel happy at the same time listening to this song. I just wanna say thank you to whoever picked the music for that trailer. You’ve awakened a childhood memory I forgot I ever had.
Good to know. Nice name btw
same! i forgot how much i loved this song
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeez nuts
Hey man, God's calling out to you dude, life will always get better, trust in Jesus. God Bless!

@@jessedecoteau4318 I used to have alot of anger in me when I was a teenager and I would listen to this song to calm me down and every time I hear this it makes me feel positive and confident
This whole album helped me out of a dark place when I needed it most..
2021 we still here
Yuhh
Cudi is made it for us
2024 anyone?!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
I remember when this song came out, i was 14 at that time. Back in the days everything was just about skating, drinking beers and cheap rum, smoking some bad weed and have fun with the hommies, now they are all in different places i dont know if they even recognize me now, we always listened to this song at every moment we could, now i listen it and reminds me to those times, im bout to turn 24, i've been struggling with a major depressive disorder since i was 18, bout a month ago the person i thought who was gonna spend her life with me, left for things that i cannot control, i've been really deep down since, but also i remember all the difficult shit i pass trough growing up in a country like Nicaragua, im still here, listening to that same song with a little smile on my face, cus despite everything all that bad shits that happens to you, theres still hope when u realize life is to short to just complain every day, i started to do some exercizes, walk every day, drink some water, eat some fruits. hug your mom, hug your dog, hug yourself, and even if i dont know u at all, i love u, everything shall pass
That was so inspirational man i hope you're doing good now and stay safe and strong during these hard times
i’m 13 man and i do some of the shit u did but worse lol it’s g
Head up G try not hearing that song everytime just keep a pause on it n turn it bag on if your on a better stage
Wishing you get closer and closer to happiness. There's not a direct route, but all roads CAN lead there in the long run. Peace.
that bad weed probably caused your depression smoking too many red hairs there cuzzy
When the lockdown is over , I will start to enjoy the life like never before.
i dont know your life but enjoy even now if you can. best of luck my G
Pandemic?
don’t wait to enjoy your life man, you can meditate and read and focus on health until you can go out and do normal things
This is just the beginning
Never ending story
The happiest people on the outside can be the most broken people on the inside

Thank you Kid Cudi for giving me this song as my best friend in high school ❤❤ Thank you so much
My best friend ever shot himself almost a week ago now. The only person I’ve ever opened up to. I love him so much I just want to see him again. I want him back. He loved this song just as much as me. I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same without him. I just want him back
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. He will still be with you, honour him by talking about him, remembering the good times you shared. You will get through this, look after yourself.

Psalm 34
King James Version
34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Crush a bit, little bit
Roll it up, take a hit
Feeling lit, feeling right
2 AM, summer night
I don't care, hand on the wheel
Driving drunk, I'm doing my thing
Rolling in the Midwest side and out
Living my life, getting out dreams
People told me slow my roll
I'm screaming out: "Fuck that"
I'mma do just what I want
Looking 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
[Hook: MGMT and Kid Cudi]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness, and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it
I'll be good
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it
I'll be good
[Verse 2: Kid Cudi]
Tell me what you know about dreaming, dreaming
You don't really know about nothing, nothing
Tell me what you know about them night terrors, every night
5 AM, cold sweats, waking up to the sky
Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothing
You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
Rather lay awake in the bed full of sorrow
[Hook: MGMT and Kid Cudi]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness, and I know
Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it

Hey, I'll be fine once I get it
I'll be good

I know everything that shine ain't always gold
I'll be fine once I get it
I'll be good

This song has its own genre, I can't compare it to any other kind of music, truly unique
So real!
Psychedelic electronic hip-rock?
Any other song by Ratatat?
Wild to think he came up with the core production in the time it took Cudi to take a taxi over to his.
Welcome back
I was on college campus the other day and this song was playing. I looked around remembered 5 years ago. No English, no money, no friends, no life. Now, I have all of them. The pursuit is almost over brothers. It will be over one day. Don't give up
Salak salak konuşma bee
Keep going!!
Keep going!!
Stay safe friend, and don’t you dare give up

But all that glitters is gold though.
Zugar38 Glitter I can get that at the dollar store
The way Cudi disguises his severely depressive thoughts behind melodic tunes and a mellow demeanor is an art in itself. It sucks to say, but those in the most pain possess the ability to create the truest art. Yo, Cudi, never give up on the pursuit.
