I watched this musical again today after some studying. It was great. The songs they sang were all very inspiring. I really strongly encourage everyone out there who's feeling down and out to listen to their songs. They aren't love songs btw, but the lyrics are really touching and gives you motivation.

The show rent is a musical that is set in the East Village and deals with a pack of young starving artists in the late 1980’s. They face disease, drug addiction, sexual freedom, love, and an unfortunate 4-letter-word: A.I.D.S.

Here is an excerpt from one it's songs - Season of love

"How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?
In Truths That She Learned,
Or In Times That He Cried,
In Bridges He Burned,
Or The Way That She Died."

This film asks an insightful question and ends up overwhelmingly empty. Can you measure the life of a person in any of these proposed ways? Certainly. The truths that we learn are of eternal importance. Truth is the plumb line of life, setting the direction and providing the goal that gives life purpose and meaning. Without truth, there is no ability to measure the life of a man or a woman. The times that we cry and the bridges we burn are significant points in life that fall along that plumb line. Why do we cry? When and for whom do we cry? Which bridges do we burn and why? The line we use to plumb of our lives will dictate these significant events.


:D

I'll play for you.
