why is gordon so far away from the rest of the group? i understand that it helps him stand out but besides that reason it doesn't really make any sense
@JTROCKAA494 this is just my unprofessional opinion, but i think it also may show that he's apart from the group in the idea that he doesn't believe completely in the affirmation and their ideas.
before watching this, I NEVER KNEW rodger jumps in on that line "because reason said i should've died, three years ago." Will Chase's voice just poped out, unlike Adam Pascal (still think he kicks ass). Although it does help that I'm SEEING this production right now. xD
this is such a small bit but it's one of ny favorite parts of this show...when they break in with "because reason says..." then the whole company joins in for no day but today, etc....it pretty much knocks the wind out of you...at least it's merciful and gets upbeat afterwards unlike the I'll cover you reprise later on...that's just pure emotional torture
@astefesterman Thank you so much.. I just was fascinated by Rent and wanted to put all the videos in the same order in the original soundtrack recordings so that it would be easier for rent fans to search for them.
I love the glimpse this gives you into Roger's vulnerability. The haunting "Because reason says I should've died three years ago..." really shows you roger's suffering and gets beneath his gruff exterior and unites him with the other victims of AIDS. However, the line is, I think, more with the original cast, with adam pascal's distinctive and, to some degree, more emotional voice.
I don't like the guy who sings the solo (the part before because reason said I should have died three years ago. Iove that part, but not The part before it)
@FrozenThorns No, with a youth theatre company in San Francisco. They double-cast half of the principal roles. The show was last February though, so it's long done now.
I love the harmonies that the lif support group sings. It's so beautiful on a beautiful topic (living today like you'll die tomorrow. not AIDS. that's not so beautiful)
they way the guy who says im a new yorker in the CD track of the Broadway cd is so much better lol. i really like Paul idk why

Great Gordon. He and Roger's voices fit together really well.
