Free Music Notes for Rent (Highlights from the Original 2005 Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: "Forget Regret or Life Is Yours To Miss..."
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow if the movie wasn't wonderful enough the soundtrack is even greater... on my Christmas wishlist this year is "Rent" the sountrack captures all the beauty you saw in the film and the Broadway version of the show... if doing nothing more than enhancing the beauty of the epic songs. It's a pity Jonathon Larson didn't live to see the beauty of his musical be realized.
With the orginal Broadway cast reprising their roles on the stage- this C.D. lives up to the show that has been running for ten years on Broadway. The music is powered pack with rock meets Broadway style music. Adding new depth to what has become a very dull Broadway genre.
The musical is all about coming to terms with life in the 90s as eight friends have to deal with death, drug addiction, roller coaster romances, AIDS, feelings of inadquesse and that we feeling we all have of wanting "something more" in life. The musical lives up to the rave reviews it has been recieving online and it's a musical that EVERYONE can relate too... I love listening to this C.D. and it's so uplifting and powerful I only wished they had made the musical/sountrack sooner for "Rent" fans.
Each song sticks out with you- My favorites
"One Song Glory"-about wanting to be known for something
"Seasons Of Love"- How you should measure your life
"Will I?"- Those afflicted with AIDs sing left me remembering the health crisis of the 90s when AIDs was virtually fatal- is a song about them coming to terms with their fate and their fears of death.
"What You Own" is a great rock song
and
My favorite "Finale B" which made me toatlly re-examine my life and how I have lived.
Many people have been complaining the lack of some songs from the movie on the C.D. but this is just the "Highlights" if you want the complete sountrack by the complete soundtrack- this however having every "Rent" fans favorites is great if your trying to get more bang for your buck!
With heartfelt and heartbreaking songs everyone will be able to enjoy this CD and if you haven't seen the movie you simply must go see the movie you'll be amazed!
"There is no future... There is no past....
Thank God this moment's not the last!
There's only us. There is only this...
Forget REGRET or your life is yours to MISS.
No other road. No other DAY But Today!"
"Live to love or live to live in fear... No other path, No Other Road- No day BUT Today!"
Rent (Highlights from the Original 2005 Motion Picture Soundtrack) Poster
One of the longest-running shows in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, Rent was the winner of the Pulizer Price for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Puccini's classic opera "La Boheme," Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic in New York's gritty East Village. Now the powerful musical marks its tenth year on stage by coming to the big screen, acompanied by RENT Highlights From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.Yes, it's true that 90% of the time Broadway fans will want the original Broadway cast recording over any other version, and 95% of the time the full recording will beat any set of "highlights." But this collection of songs from the Rent movie may defy both trends. Rentheads surely have the two-disc Broadway version already, and this well-selected 65 minutes may satisfy their desire to have performances from the movie as well (and the movie has less music than the show anyway). On the other end of the spectrum, people who enjoyed the movie but don't feel the compulsion to own every note of what they heard might well be pleased with a single disc of highlights. Pick it up and live La Vie Boheme all over again. --David Horiuchi
