“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:
you want your artists edgy, imaginative, and to take risks while at the same time being in perfect pitch, right? here it is (click vid below)
