“Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights and in sunsets
In midnights and in cups of coffee
In inches and in miles, in laughter and in strife
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year,
A year in the life of a friend?
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
of a woman or a man?
In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
or the way that she died
It’s time now, to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let’s celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends”
-from “Rent”, on Broadway

Happy New Year everyone!
Credits: Those are Filipino voices (literally, voices), on the embedded soundcloud pod : a cover of the “Rent” song by Filipino singers Jherico Obar, Drexler Cruz, Bok Supleo, and Donna Ricafrente. The pod plays automatically… you should be hearing it right about now….
The video below the soundcloud clip is another cover. There are a hundred or so videos of this number rendered by professional singers on stages, studios, movie sets, etc. i chose this one — microphone–less, amplifier–less, in an uncontrolled environment — the mall — and the singers were almost arrested or harassed by mall security:
