Rent - 134 minutes of Love

Five hundred twenty-five thousandSix hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousandMoments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousandSix hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

Seasons of love, 已經不記得甚麼時候已聽過的熟悉旋律，一早喜歡的歌曲，如今終於看到《RENT》這套音樂劇。好喜歡這套劇，不止於各首悠美歌曲旋律，而是劇中帶出愛的訊息。劇中各人各有不同包袱，Mark夢想拍電影而不甘為五斗米折腰；過氣歌手Roger因吸毒染上愛滋而一沉不起，愛上鄰居MIMI也不敢輕言說愛；COLIN落難處遇上異裝藝術家ANGEL，發現大家同為愛滋病患者開始同病相鄰，由相識相知到共入愛河；MOREEN女伴JOANNE因MOREEN的豪放性格而懷疑對方的忠誠。大家雖然各有問題，但經過互相支持，都學得在愛中成長。雖然話劇有點過分地為同性戀及愛滋病平反，總的來說還是一套令人感動，反思的作品。134分鐘沒有白過的時間，值得一看。

extracts from Seasons of Love:
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!Seasons of love!

Extracts from Life Support:
There's only usThere's only this ...
Forget regret or life is yours to miss
No other road No other way No day but today

Extracts from Without You:
Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, The children play.
The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.

Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.
The world revives, Colors renew,
But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue, within me blue

Without you the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.
Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walks, the lungs breath.The mind churns!
The mind churns! The heart yearns! The heart yearns!
The tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone.'Cause I die, without you.

Extracts from What You Own:
Don't breathe too deep.Don't think all day
Dive into work,Drive the other way
That drip of hurt.That pint of shame
Goes away. Just play the game
You're living in America At the end of the millenium
You're living in America Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America At the end of the millenium
You're what you own

Extracts from Love Heals:
Love heals when pain's too much to bear
When you reach out your hand And only the wind is there
When life's unfair When things like us are not to be Love heals
When you feel so small Like a grain of sand Like nothing at all
When you look out at sea That's where love will be That's where you'll find me You'll fine me
You face is salty wet And you're drowning in regret
Just Don't forget It's all right
Love heals
