Happiness
✏Title: Pursuing The Happiness- 행복을찾아서

✏Duet: LeeSSang

✏Album: Unplugged

✏Genre: Rap, Hip-Hop

✏Release Date: 28th May 2012

✏Language: Korean

✏Opinion: I discovered LeeSSang from the poplar variety show, Runningman as Gary is a member of RM and Gil is a member of Infinity Challenge (Modu). To be honest, I didn't know the duo existed until I started watching RM. I'm not the type of person that likes hip-hop or rapping in general but LeeSSang has done a pretty good job to make me like this song. I haven't seen the English translation of the lyrics yet, but by hearing this song I think the lyrics have a special meaning behind them. They have a lot of really good songs, and Gary has recently- last year- came out with some new songs: Zotta Mola and Shower Time. However I'm not reviewing on those songs yet. I do think they're under-rated and I hope they'll be more popular as time goes by.

Rating:★★★★★

✏Lyrics:

After waking up at 3pm, my body is heavy – I did a lot last night Recorded for 20 hours, haven’t really eaten properly and my insides are burning but It’s okay, the track turned out well – my passion that I poured out in this tiny space Soon it will bring me fame and money, as it always has So I can’t rest, not a day, not a minute – if a great song is produced, Even if my body wastes away, I don’t care, even if I get a mental disease

If a good track is produced, I don’t care if I go crazy The legend of this era, the acknowledgement of everyone, the “Big Brother” of music - These words are far away from me but I scrunch up and write lyrics all night I open my own door of happiness

On my pursuit of happiness, I flew for a long time So all the shrunken things can put on a smile On my pursuit of happiness, I endured for a long time So that someday, everything will shine

Even if sometimes, everything disappears like the beginning (disappears) Even if everything of me seems pathetic (someday)

While watching Gil, who appeared on variety programs before me, My mother was envious and asked “Why don’t you do it with him?” I still remember her eyes, filled with concern that she might hurt my feelings I’m over thirty years old but in front of my mother, I’m still a child Maybe that was the biggest reason why I chose to do variety shows Now my heart is at rest, people tell me how much I’ve grown Yes, some people may bash me but my parents are happy, that’s all that matters What more do I need? I’m always an island outside my house I won’t forget the pride of my parents and engrave it in my heart Whenever I go home, I see the shoes I bought them are still new Please stop saving them up and just wear them, open the door of happiness

On my pursuit of happiness, I flew for a long time So all the shrunken things can put on a smile On my pursuit of happiness, I endured for a long time So that someday, everything will shine

Even if sometimes, everything disappears like the beginning (disappears) Even if everything of me seems pathetic (someday)

In this marathon called life, our paths might be different and even if we live insufficiently We live with the fun of filling it up and though there’s a lof of hardships, Get to know the taste of enduring it and take one more step “Why is my life like this?” Those words are just excuses Don’t give up so easily on this game called life So when you close your eyes in this world, you can open your last door of happiness without any regrets

On my pursuit of happiness, I flew for a long time So all the shrunken things can put on a smile On my pursuit of happiness, I endured for a long time So that someday, everything will shine

Chapter 12: wow the lyrics are really meaningful & it's almost like a message to the rest of s. But I don't wanna dwell into the past about it since the past is the past & it was his choice to leave so we shouldn't judge him for that.
