I just want to add something to my previous post.
My absolute favorite change on the new RENT movie soundtrack is in “Goodbye Love,” where Mark finally says, “Mimi still loves you, are you really jealous?” instead of, “Mimi still loves Roger, is Roger really jealous?” and so on. Thank freaking goodness. It always sounded retarded in the original.
You prefer the lyric changes? I can’t stand them! I feel like before it was as if Mark was doing a narrative, as if this were all just a film., going back him detaching himself from the situations, as Roger so kindly points out.
