Posted: 2/20/05 at 11:14pmI've loved the song ever since I first heard it when we sang it in choir. Tru, there are better songs, but I still burst into tears the first time I saw Rent and saw them perform it.

"The only song i dont like in Rent is Without You. The lyrics are horrible, "without you, the lungs breath"? OOO, what a love song. I just think Larson wrote that in 10 minutes. "
I think Without You is such an amazing song. True, single lines do not sound like a love song ("Without you, the lungs breath"), but Jonathon's message in that song comes at the end where it all ties together. "...but I die, without you." Even though everything in the world goes on, they die without eachother. Now that's a love song!

Posted: 2/20/05 at 11:36pm"Without You" is probably my favorite song in the show...

Posted: 2/21/05 at 1:03amI like the song a lot *my school choir is singing it next concert, lol* but I like the other songs from Rent better. I don't hate it though. I love it when Stevie Wonder sings it with the cast though!
A most ingenious paradox.

I've found that "Seasons of Love" is a lot more thrilling when heard or performed live than when listened to on the OBC. There's a reason they always use it in the middle school concerts. :)
Anyway, how can you possibly call that song the worst one in Rent when you have gems like "Without You," "I Should Tell You," and "Goodbye Love" to compare it to?

Posted: 2/21/05 at 5:07pmI adore Seasons of Love. The funny thing is that I basically grew up listening to it without knowing what it was. I just remembered the "525,600 minutes etc" parts and that tune always stuck in my head and then when I got the OBC I was thinking "Ohhh that sounds so familiar." A bit lame, I know, but that songs gets me every time. I wish I could hear it performed live. Someday maybe.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

Posted: 2/22/05 at 10:09amPersonally, I feel that Seasons of Love is the best song in rent.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 2/22/05 at 10:15amOne of my favorites, certainly not the best, IMO, but I love it. For my high school graduation, our superintendent quoted a bit of the song...resulting in me, going into a state of shock and almost falling out of my chair. And every single one of my friends saying to me, "Hey! They quoted that play you like so much!"
"During this performance, please feel free to let your cell phones and pagers ring willy-nilly. However, do remember that there are heavily-armed knights on stage and you might well be dragged up and impaled."

Seasonss of Love is what suckered me into wanting to see Rent.
It's not the best song of the musical, but its a good one.
