One Song Glory Lyrics
One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory -- on another empty life
Time flies -- time dies
Glory -- One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory -- glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies
(there is a knock, it's mimi)
The door
i love this song. it is so sad and powerful
damn, there are two of this song posted! now i have to post my comment from more than a month ago again, here... "the power and emotion to this song, at least on the soundtrack, just floor me. it is most definitely my favorite song in the whole musical, and that's saying a lot, considering that i love the whole soundtrack. however, when i went to see it, i wasn't impressed with the guy playing roger, and was disappointed with this song... oh well."
i think it depends on where you see the show.. cuz i saw it in boston and had a similar reaction, but i hear its just amazing on broadway. this is one of my favorite songs in the show though.. this and without you
i saw it on broadway, myvelouria. :)
scheisse, who was playing roger when you saw it? i saw it with adam pascal as roger (the first roger) and then again with manley pope, the most recent roger. manley pope was very good, but seemed a bit awkward in the part (or at least when i saw him). from what i remember of adam pascal, he was just...amazing for lack of a better word.
yes, i wish i'd seen it with him. i saw it with manley pope, and not only was he awkward (i think this was probably a bad show for him), but his voice just didn't fit the part, or at least my idea of roger's part (which has been influenced by several years of listening to the original recording on repeat...). of course, RENT was still great! but it could have been even better.
yeah, manley pope was sort of awkward in his role...at first i thought that maybe he was just uncomfortable being on stage in general, but i saw his band Pope performing, and he was fine singing and playing. i guess it was just him as roger that was awkward. too bad though, because most of my friends have seen it with manley pope as roger, and adam pascal just made the show amazing. manley pope just didn't add as much as adam did.
i had some dude that didnt even have a broadway voice. he imensly pissed me off cus he sound nothing like Adam Pascal. its hard to see it when you've listened to the sountrack so much.
adam pascal is awesome. i love him. lol. and i love this song too, it's just sooo emotional and amazing and pure passion and raw and honest and unpretentious, like he's just baring his soul to you. it's so sad.
lol a side note, i downloaded a LOT of bootleg rent from online to listen to a lot of the other casts other than the obc. and i must say that i think that adam is still my favorite. but john partridge (german cast) is also really good. but...id have to agree with you. i dont like manley pope too much, or jeremy kushnier either. but matt kaplan & tony vincent are good. anyway. love this song. love rent. melts some more with rent obsessiveness
excellent song expressing a beautiful and tragic point.
