Moods #23

Today is a walk down the memory lane of high school life.

Maybe around 2nd year or 3rd year high school, if you asked me to recite the whole lyrics of RENT and JCS, you can also toss in Chicago and Moulin Rouge, I wouldn't hesitate to start right away. I knew every single word by heart. Even just a whiff of their music, I was like a hound hungry for every note of them, two notes, three notes, I knew which part and whose character would be singing that song. 

Those were my obsessed days.

Anyways, who wouldn't dance to Tango Maureen, really?

Or who wouldn't cry in the song Without You?

Or wouldn't you be affected by I'll Cover You, and its more impressionable version, I'll Cover You Reprise after Angel's death?

Of course, there's that really funny Akita Evita scene, the intro to La Vie Boheme. This is closely connected to Angel's intro to the musical, singing Today 4 U.

The battle of wills in Take me or Leave me?

So, let's listen to La Vie Boheme A & B here, and if you are into alternative or underground artists/philosophers then you could look up the works of people whose names were mentioned in the song. These passionate people were attuned into their instinctive drives to create. Not the creative deodorized drive accepted by the mainstream.
