life support

Life Support
RENT OST

[Gordon]
Look - I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I try to open up to what I don't know

Because reason says I should have died
Three years ago

[All]
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

what a powerful song. this song is taken from R.E.N.T., during the HIV/AIDS support group meeting. short and compelling. the song reaches deep into my soul. forget regret, or life is yours to miss.

live for today.

i'm getting a little sick today. flu has finally caught up with me after almost half a year of peaceful breathing. somehow i decided to watch RENT just for the fun of it. and it's a really strong story. i haven't reached the end yet since i'll be having a class really soon and i don't think i'll be able to finish watching it now. maybe later, after supper. before this, i only focused on seasons of love out of the whole OST, but today, i'm really introduced to the deep and touching songs from the OST. previously i didn't bother to listen to the lyrics. but since the movie is narrated through all these songs, i have to listen to the lyrics. and they really ushers me through the world of the people who are in needs, people who do not have much to look forward in life but that one thing that they believe in. so unlike me. i have much to look forward. but nothing in particular that i really believe in. why should i? i'm pathetic, after all.

forget regret. yes. from now on, looks forward. don't turn back. march forward. forget regret. there's only today. there's only tomorrow. there's no yesterday.

but where can i find my life support?
