Rent

Saw an advert on tele just now and noticed that the musical Rent is coming to Singapore. The song that left the most memory on me was of course " Seasons of Love". Somehow, I had heard of that song before but it did not occur to me that it was actually from Rent. Watching the musical live in London in 2002 was great! Heard quite a lot of mixed review from friends before watching it but was glad I managed to catch it eventually when they returned to London. The storyline I felt was a bit thin and quite sad but the songs are strong and up-lifting.

I attached the lyrics of "Seasons of Love" (I am sure most of us have heard the song before but have not associated it to the musical Rent, give me a shout if u want a copy of the song!)

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 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 525,600 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.

525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan. 525,600 minutes - how can you measure
the life of a woman or man?

SOLOIST 2
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned, or
the way that she died.

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! Remember
the love! Measure in love. Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

Hmm...I am tempted to watch Rent again when it comes to Singapore. Any Takers?
