New song in Rent?

How many times can we say this?

A song CANNOT be eligible for the Oscar unless it was written SPECIFICALLY for the film. NOT written for the play but cut before opening, NOT written for another show.

In other words, the only way a song from the movie of RENT can be Oscar eligible is if it is a NEW song written by someone other than Jonathan Larson.

Jon, Pardon my ignorance on this . . .

In order to be eligible, do both the words and the lyrics have to be new and for the movie? Or, could the lyrics or draft of a song that was never paired with the music be eligble if the complete song is made part of the movie?

I just don't know the answer to the question.

Thanks.

Most of us have a copy of the NYTW version of the show, and the recording of Tick Tick Boom.

Yes, but you can get Tick Tick Boom in stores. (Speaking of which, I'm pushing for Boho Days in the credits... it's not ACTUALLY in Tick Tick Boom...)

I've never been able to get my hands on the NYTW version of RENT... *le sigh*

Well, though it may upset some; I don't think we can rule out a BRAND NEW song. I mean, the group includes a few (in my opinion excellent) singer/songwriters....perhaps some OBC collaborating led to a new song in J's honor?

Ohhhh which would be better... seeing the cast on stage at the Oscars with a whole new song OR hearing Boho days again during the credits....?

I would definately think that Sony wants any oscar nod possible. Maybe Adam could write a song as Roger?? Or anyone else in the cast as their character... it might be really interesting.

I'd love for it to be "Love Heals". Such an amazing song, and would be great to actually tie into Rent.

The melody must be new - written FOR the movie. The lyrics must be new - written FOR the movie.

i think the best thing in the world that could happen is get some REALLY talented songwriter to go back to jonathan's music notes or rough drafts and try to pick up a melody that goes with all the songs already in rent. not literally copy it, but get inspired by what's already there

and then maybe looking back at his brainstorming and do the same thing for lyrics.

it's got to be really talented so that he uses larson's voice more than his own as much as possible.

it'd be the closest thing to having larson write it.

As long as it isn't "Right Brain", I'll be happy! When bad lyrics happen to good people...

I just listened to it over at Sh-K-Boom. Sherie Rene Scott sings it on her cd Men I've Had. The song is beautiful.
