Rent Life Support Song #2 (Will I)

These short little sessions in the movie are heart warming and nice. I really enjoy watching these and they are my favorite parts in the movie. So here they are. The "Soloist" in this song is Aaron Lohr(Steve).

[@andimanila]

I love this whole movie and all the songs, but this particular song is the one I cry at. As someone who has lived through a friend slowly fading away before my eyes, turning from a vibrant young man into a wasted emptiness, I totally know how this song feels. We used to talk about this very topic. He accepted his coming journey much better than I did. I miss him everyday. When I became sick and thought it was possible for me to die an early death, this song was actually a bit of a mantra.

[@eire1984]

im a nurse and when ever i look after people who are dying I think of this song and try to be a better nurse to them.

I always cry on the life support songs..they are short but so powerful

[@lillybellwon1]

I love the look on Marks face when Roger walks in! He looks so proud of him!

[@kaleidoscopicepic14]

The three life support songs make me cry every time I hear them. This song is so true and it reveals so much of what the characters are going through. It is truly beautiful.

[@TheSkaterkid91]

It is also a very relatable song for a lot of people now adays. This movie will always live on

[@janeyrevanescence12]

Do I think the movie/musical have flaws? Yes. Do I think both could have used some polishing? Absolutely. However, I think what the creators/actors get right...they knock it clean out of the ballpark and this song is one of them. All of us have to address the question of our mortality and it's a frightening one as we don't know what's going to happen when we get there.

[@zzyyxxo]

Had Jonathan Larson not died, I'm sure a lot of the kinks would have been ironed out with time. But it's a ragged bit of shine, I'm thinking. Glorious in all the right places.

[@meganbateman5634]

@@zzyyxxo If Johnathan Larson hadn't died young, he would have continued writing plays that explains the truth of what people like the characters go through everyday and would have been the leader of those kind of plays all the way up to today's issues

that's aways been my fave part 😩

[@Melisadudley]

I loved that part

[@yveltalawesome4306]

stellar

[@ajq4389]

I’ve heard this so many times but this is the first time I actually heard that part, it’s gorgeous

[@quietthunder]

Such an amazing part in Rent. Of course, the round itself is so beautiful: simple, raw, and true. But Roger joins the group, and Mark stops being just an observer - huge.

[@midgey50]

I completely break down when Roger comes in and finally breaks down that barrier. You can see the heavy emotion in his face and it makes me tear up everytime.

[@amrice62]

I’ve revisited this soundtrack as the world circles the drain. I get such comfort from this music

[@TerrenceAybar]

The very end of this scene is so heartbreaking. People trying to smile in the face of uncertainty. Makes one wonder what they have to complain about when there are others who are facing their own mortality.

[@simranbajaj671]

I feel so bad for all the people who have to live with this horrible and tragic disease 😪

[@StapledSquirrel]

Wrong emoji

[@T_M___]

As someone living with this disease (15 yrs after diagnosis and still healthy) I appreciate the sentiment but it's not as horrible and tragic as it was at the time when Rent was set (late 80s/early 90s) with the medications now available. I just wish there were Life Support groups, like this one, around when I received my diagnosis. With or without the singing. Singing would just be an added bonus.

This is my favorite song from Rent. makes me cry every time.

My favorite song. Ever. So heart warming I nearly cry every time I listen to this.

[@dramakid4ever]

Who new four lines could be so moving! i love this song it even made me cry

[@klstrong2011]

I think my favorite part of this song is how well written it is. I love the fact that Mark sings by himself--I think there's a lot of symbolism in it. I love Anthony Rapp.

[@Briarboyfl]

Were it not for the advancements made, in the years since Jonathan Larson wrote these words, I'd have lost so many MORE friends. Each time I listen to this, I find it more emotional & yet.....in a strange way, optimistic.

[@davidsaccente7837]

That song was the heart of the whole musical.

[@Csmiles0]

2024 still listening to this song. The beginning of this song is so moving

[@alicervantes3948]

[@sraphael]

Oh god, this song is so beautiful, as is all of the story and songs in Rent. This song has the power to make the toughest of people cry and almost anyone can relate. Even though the story and song is based on AIDS, this reminds me of my struggle with anorexia. Anyone with struggle can relate to this simple but powerful song.

[@TercesX]

I love how it just starts becoming a round, and all the voices harmonize so beautifully.

[@ennans]

One of the best song I've ever heard in my entire life

[@sarachamayo]

this movie never fails to make me cry EVERY time

[@charismahopkins7167]

Thank you Jonathan Larson

[@TitanicHorseRacingLover]

I love this song. I played it a lot during the COVID pandemic when all those people were getting so sick and dying and freezers were being used at morgue I felt so hurt for those families and friends of the deceased and the lockdowns didn't help . Those left behind couldn't see their dying loved ones in the hospital to say goodbye or have a proper funeral. That had to have been a nightmare that I couldn't have imagined.

[@chenzel03]

I don't cry much at movies... But this song brings tears to my eyes. LOVE this movie. So beautiful

[@CAMELOT487]

i get the chills everytime i hear this song especially at the rounds.

[@sarajett7121]

Roger walking through that door 👏 Such a huge step a lot of people don’t make. Gets me every time!

[@slipknotlover1]

i love rent and i even saw it on broadway last year. and this song allways brings me to tears and then i cant stop till the end cuz it has so much meaning and power. it also reminds me and brings back so many great memories of my two uncles who died of aids. this is such a great song, movie, and broadway

[@Inkheart16]

of all the songs in this amazing movie, everytime this group gets together, they are my favorite songs cause thier so full of sadness and almost pain cause its not fair how they all have this horribly disease. the lyrics are so simple but so strong and touching, and you can relate to this, wether or not you have AIDs, cancer patients probibly think htis way too or anyone with a killing disease.

[@onlyalena9154]

This is one of my favorite songs from the movie!! If u really listen 2 what they are saying and try to put yourself in the place of someone that is worried about when they will die, you'll be touch!! Luv this movie

[@Princesslau1223]

I think the moment when Roger arrives and faces up to the fact he is dying is one of the most emotional parts of the film, the whole things just heartbreaking but beautiful

[@maddieallard6727]

This song always fills me with emotion whenever I am sad and the weird thing is that it makes me feel better! Rent was such a beautiful movie. It was real and the music is so addicting!

[@slvrangel22]

These life support songs are underrated. The words are eerie and the round seems to manage to capture the ongoing fear and distress the individuals were facing in their thoughts as this diseases roared through their body and their days were feeling numbered. On a different note, while I know HIV and AIDS are still around today, they don't pose the same threat as they did in the 80s and 90s... weird to think how in 2024 this epidemic is now considered history...

it was a great loss. even though none of us knew her, she was one of those characters that help bring the movie to the reality of life.

[@jvzq88]

The way I see it, he's facing the fact that he's LIVING, not dying. Characters like Angel and Collins embrace life and live it to the fullest because of things like this Life Support group. Just recall the line from la vie boheme: "To people living with, living with, living with -- not dying from disease!" =o)

[@CrazyKenya16]

It's not just you. Movie, play, whatever, I cry. Everytime I go to the play with my friends I tell them "I'm not gonna cry", then as soon as the funeral stats, Im sobbing

[@AnimeBlaque]

wow small world i have lupus myself, got diagnosed when i was 12. it would have been nice to have talked to others in a group like this when I had first gotten it. I definitely cried when Angel died because he was so alive and had so much to live for. He faced everything with a smile on his face and it makes it unbearable that people with such a strong personality have to be defeated.

[@sephyr2006]

The words to this song are so meaningful!
