05/25/2006: "No Day But Today"
Song of the Day: Idina Menzel - Still I Can't Be Still
Tonight was musical night: I watched both Moulin Rouge! and Rent, two movies that spend a lot of time in my DVD player. Seeing them back-to-back, I was struck by how each movie has a line that repeats thoughout it and sums up its theme, and how I've always considered these lines to be some of my favorites.
From Moulin Rouge!, we have, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
And then, from Rent, there's the lyric that I fell in love with even before I saw the stage version almost ten years ago: "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."
I might also mention that Rent never fails to reduce me to wimpering, pathetic tears.
