RENT

- Get Your Own



Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.- Albert Einstein




- Get Your Own




I've never seen the stage musical "Rent," but the movie had me at hello.

The film kicks off with the show's best-known song, "Seasons of Love," and the edgy energy, emotional power and its message of hope and love just kept building until the film's conclusion.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical has retained most of the original players from the off-Broadway show -- it quickly moved uptown to Broadway -- and that's extremely unusual for Hollywood. It paid off with performances that fit the actors like a second skin.

It's the season of love in this vigorous adaptation of Jonathan Larson's tragic take on a cluster of young New Yorkers infected with the AIDS virus.

Director Chris Columbus forsakes Larson's steely edge for a more accessible vibe. The story kicks off with East Village loft roomies Mark Cohen and Roger Davis (Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal) emerging from a difficult year. The rent isn't paid, Roger is recovering from a stint in rehab and the suicide of his HIV-positive girlfriend, and Mark struggles to survive by creating "art" with his hand-held camcorder. Consequently there are inevitable comparisons that are hard to ignore with the Broadway version. But the soul of Larson's then-timely passion play is intact; bring on the Sing-A-Long version for this

- Seasons of Love Lyrics


ALL
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love

Seasons of love. Seasons of love

JOANNE
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?

COLLINS
In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

ALL
It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!

JOANNE
Oh you got to got to Remember the love! remember the love,
You Measure in love know that love is a gift from up above Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love Measure measure you life in love.

Thank you to all my friends who wished me luck and sent a prayer for me this morning, I needed it for my "audition." I do hope I bag the "role" and your support has boosted my confidence earlier this day. I may post more details later if I do get "it."





You'll love Angel, and there's more RENT music here.

- I'll Cover You Lyrics


ANGEL
Live in my house, I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back,
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you

COLLINS
Open your door, I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage, to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you

BOTH
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,
On life - be my life
Just slip me on I'll be your blanket
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat

ANGEL
You'll be my king,
And I'll be your castle

COLLINS
No you'll be my queen,
And I'll be your moat

BOTH
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love,
On life - all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is

COLLINS
So with a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
Out and tired
When your heart has expired

ANGEL
If you're cold and you're lonely
You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you

BOTH
Oh lover I'll cover you, yeahhhhh
Oh lover I'll cover you
