  • its so sad that jonathan larson wasn't able to see his masterpiece on broadway but anthony rapp's book gives a wonderful history of RENT

  • Collins and Roger have the best voices ever! I love this song so much!

  • i cry because Angel reminds me of my best friend and when i watch this movie i cry all over again

  • This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. ;A;

  • I think that this song and I'll Cover you (reprise) are the most saddest songs in Rent

  • Beautiful and sad. Thank you, Jonathan Larson.

  • This song no matter how many times I've herad it (must be in the thousands by now) will never cease to make me cry when I hear it. Coming from Mark's side watching someone I love go through this, asking this question, It's heartbreaking.

  • rent is the best movie

  • thanks for posting this. <3 lovely and sad. 

  • This song sums up the whole movie entirely. These people living with disease, never knowing what will happen to them. So they live their life the way they want to. Absolutely brilliant and the saddest thing ever. That would be the hardest fight to ever battle.

  • I love this song. I have never seen Rent, so I don't really know the context. However, I beat cancer and just recently had a staph infection and it looked like I could possibly lose my right arm at the bicep. I still have both my arms, the infection was finally beat with a powerful cocktail of IV antibiotics and oral antibiotics. You wonder if people think if God is punishing you, you want it all to end and you want to feel good again. This song conveys those emotions.

  • Angel is completely cool!

  • what a humanistic fear.... beautiful honesty heals

  • this song makes me cry..

  • This is the one song which really took a piece of my heart out. It's undoubtedly the saddest yet most beautiful song I've ever heard in my whole life.

  • Incredible song.

  • Without question

    One of The Greatest Musicals of All Time

    Jonathan Larson

    You have left a legacy that will last an eternity

    RIP

  • i found this by searching 'what song contains these lyrics will i wake tomorrow from this nightmare' after seeing Liam Drydens video sing to the 8-ball

  • Omg I love the way Adam sings "will someone care".

  • Thanks for posting. Having survived cancer (twice), buried my parents--waking from "this nightmare" means a lot.

  • My favorite part of this version isn't even the song - it's the look that appears on Mark's face when he notices Roger...<3

  • amazing how repeating one paragraph over and over and adding harmony can turn a person to mush

  • It's so potent in part because AIDS isn't the only condition that makes you feel like this. I would guess that anyone with a serious or terminal illness has asked these questions or at least thought them.

  • I read somewhere that Jonathan Larson (the creator of rent) went to a life support meeting with one of his friends, and one of the male members stood up and said " I'm not scared of dying, I am only worried about one thing" and they host asks "whats that?" and he says "Will I Lose my Dignity?" "We'll people think less of me because of my illness?" and Jonathan put it into his play:) For all those who lost or are currently in the fight God Bless You

  • i luv how collins's face lights up at the sight of roger

  • i cried so  hard my eyes almost started bleeding

  • this song is simply amazing <3 this is one of my favorite songs and favorite movies and im 14 <3

  • The women's voices r so melodic

  • @ginnyluna182 you mean harmonic? the guys have the melody ;)

  • @Ryuke12j no, girls have melodic voices 2

  • my mom & i both hve the same thoughts toward the life support songs, we luv thm!!!

  • omg Steve is Dean Portman from mighty ducks D2 the b.a. bash brother

  • Rent and passing strange!

  • I swear the first time I heard this, I almost cried. This song is such a tear jerker, along with the movie! Beautiful song! I swear I think I might cry as I'm listening and watching this movie. This movie is sooo awesome!

  • It makes me cry every time

  • KOOL SONG LOVE

  • i think this song affected me as much as watching the end of The Notebook. Went to see this in the theatre in Edinburgh and it totally caught me off guard. I was crying so much and i went on my own to see it. random stranger cuddled me and said "what you didn't bring kleenex? you poor thing"

  • wow... i love how the simplest songs have the greatest effect, this is the first time i heard it and i am just amazed at the effect it had on me...

  • i love that you can distinctly hear adam pascal's voice...ahhhh that man makes me melt everytime :)

  • this movie really does change most people and is really good. it really makes you think if you were there in that time and you were friends with them, how would you feel? seeing you friends die. this movie really jus makes you want to cry at times.

  • I don't know how many times I've watched this musical, it's one of my favorites but 2:14 is literally the prettiest things I've ever heard in my life. When one of the women sings "Will I lose?"

  • I've never ever seen Rent but from listening to the music it's already helped me soooo much i'm definatly gonna buy the movie now

  • I feel like watching Rent now... This movie took a huge part of my life. It helped me through a lot

  • i cant sing this without crying so so hard to do.

    Especially when you have no idea what others will think that holds me back.

    this movie changed me for sure.

  • i dont know if anyone else realized this, but the dude opening up the song, not the blond one, but the short curley haird one, played one of the bash brothers in the mighty ducks 2 and 3, dean portman. his real names arron lore, and he was mad fuckin cool in that third mighty ducks but JESUS does this vid make me think the years since then(15)havnt been kind to him

  • love this song so very much! :)

    but i wish people would stop saying they're singing about AIDS, these people have HIV..the only one who actually has AIDS is Angel

  • @allacat thats not true. i have not seen it (I really wan't to), but i know that the guy sitting by the window at the begining has aids too.

  • @allacat

    Angel isn't the only one who has AIDS and in all actuallity HIV is AIDS but to a lesser degree. Collins and Rodger have AIDS Also, Mimi has it also. 

  • This is one of the most absoute touching and most powerful songs from the whole musical. 4 lines of lyrics and who would of though those 4 lines could be so powerrful and moving. Everytime I listen to this I get tears in my eyes. This is the most amazing musical ever.

  • I love this song, Rent was just an amazing production

  • I love you Aaron Lohr

  • I wish aids would just go away i knew someone who died form aids and caner.

  • This has been on here since Oct 2008 and it STILL has no dislikes. This is such an amazing song from an amazing play/movie.

  • why cant we put likes for video summaies?

  • HSM will never be as great as RENT. I agree with you 100% on that.

  • i never even heard of rent until a couple weeks ago when my friends and i watched it and im addicted now... its such an amazing show... love stories, a rlly great msg, an amazing score, and beautiful singing, how can you not like any of the songs???

  • I LOVE IT when the women start singing, it's just soooo beautiful.

  • god bless this song

  • Anthony is absolutely wonderful in this song. <3

  • We have to sing this whole musical in school :( I just know im gonna burst into tears when this song comes on

  • do you see the dislike bar? yeah me neither

  • tis song is so beutifl tis song shood touch every1 heart n tht 1 person tht disliked it go on somwere

  • when i found out i was poz..this song was the first thing that poped into my head

    

  • Stupid, STUPID song...

    I hate when songs make me tear up :(

  • This song is so beautiful!! They sound so good!

  • 4 lines of words and a terribly simple melody, and it is, in my opinion, the most powerful song of the whole musical. Excuse me, gotta find the kleenex...

  • @Dracontiar I completely agree. This is the one song that really makes you lose it.

  • @Dracontiar

    hurhurhur

  • @Dracontiar its amazing those i was 12 when this came out im 18 now and i woud get chills from this song the violin is amazing but so powerful i love it it

  • just remembered dare is a Mighty Duck and a Power Ranger in this video

  • It's truly amazing how a song with one line and a lot of texture can be so amazing.

  • I started crying :(

  • Everytime I hear this song, I cry...by the first line.

    Its so sad but powerful.

  • Powerful song. I love it.

    Explains so much in 4 little versus.

  • this is one of my favourite songs...

    so simple but yet so powerful.

  • Hard to believe that kid from Mighty Ducks could actually sing. Rent is the best ... always will be.

  • This is probably my favourite song of all time...

    its beautiful

  • sarcasm on youtube? NO WAY. Rent is an exceptional musical. I can't wait to see my friends in it!

  • I'm going to go out on a limb and say candizzlemanpro was being sarcastic. I know, SHOCKING.

  • ok people who think aids can go away your wrong. once you get it, it doesnt go away. whyyy do you think they are singing this song. and whyy do you think angel dies... AIDS! kthankss.

  • love it

  • This is my favorite song in the whole play. always makes me cry

  • oh my gosh every time i litsin to this song it really tutches me do they get better in the end of the play

  • cant tell you will have to watch to see

  • yea cause their aids is just gonna go away

  • The kid who wrote the comment you responded to is 10 years old and she can't wait to do the play. She has not seen Rent.

  • WOW yes aids can go away and i agree with sozoal you are 10 years old and haven't seen the movie

  • What are you talking about? Once you get AIDS you have it for life it doesn't go away

  • right i know they cant go away but candizzlemanpro dosent know that

  • @Spot353 Cause candizzlemanpro isn't being sarcastic or anything....

  • @sozoal THEY ALL START DIEING LITTLE BY LITTLE.THEY DISAPPEAR...):

  • @sozoal no they dont get better at all thats whats makes the movie sad and emotional

  • Who would have thought that a song with only 4 lines of lyrics would be so touching

  • I completely agree with your hsm rant in the side box

    To be fair the majority of people that seem to genuinely enjoy hsm are aged four to twelve and don't know what decent is ^^

  • Give them time, when they grow older they'll love this. Hopefully :)

  • depends on if they ever see it some of my greatest friends have never seen it and i always bug them about how they need to see it

  • i got teary eyed wen angel died

  • When they hit that round you're like, YESSS

  • Gorgeous song. Brings tears to my eyes. <3

  • This song is beautiful. I cry every time I hear it. This movie was touching and just gets to me every time I watch it. I've watched it over 5 times in the past 2 days. It's amazing.

    LRGM

  • Just finished watching that movie, RENT and it was GREAT! this is my favorite song.

  • I knew someone exactly like Angel. We, too, lost our Angel to HIV. RENT is both painful and joyous to watch. It reminds me of the time we had with our Angel... just as positive and just as life affirming. When I hear this song, my heart breaks as I know our Angel went through this as well... and he never had anything but positive things to say on the outside.

    If you know an Angel, enjoy them... appreciate them. They truly are some of the best parts of life. No day but today!

  • A lot of characters are like that, I knew a Mimi. After holding a girl in my arms for hours while she was going through withdrawals from heroine, her boyfriend finally gave up and gave it to her. One of the men I respect most in the worlds later told me that there is only one thing worse than living through heroine withdrawals, when I asked him what that could be (still shaken from watching her do it), he said "Holding someone who is going through them".

  • I think it's great that Mark doesn't start singing until he sees Roger walk through the door.

    It shows a lot of character.

  • haha. I need to correct that last post.

    Mark does actually sing before he sees Roger - but the look on his face when he DOES see Roger is what makes it memorable.

    It's like he just realized something.

    *pats self on back for correcting mistake*

  • i think rent is one of the most heart touching stories with some of the greatest songs ever written in a musical context and the plot and actors are amazing

    I foyu havn't watched rent before please do it really is amazing :)

  • i know i never knew Jonathan Larson, but the words he wrote have definately touched people around the world...my bf's cousin died of AIDS

  • The beautifullest song I've ever heard!

  • thanks for this video <3

  • wait wtf HSM is going BROADWAY! :P

  • Unquestionably my favourite song from rent and the most meaningful!

    *****
