A B O U T

"Seasons of Love" is the most celebrated song from the Broadway musical Rent, written and composed by Jonathan Larson. The song starts with an ostinato piano motif, which provides the harmonic framework for the cast to sing "Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes" (the number of minutes in a [non-leap] calendar year). The main instruments used throughout the song are piano, vocals, guitar and drums.

Both in the musical and in the 2005 film, the song is performed by the entire cast. The main question asked is, "How do you measure a year?" Various answers are suggested, from points of the day ("Daylights," "Sunsets," "Midnights,") to units of measure ("inches", "miles"), to everyday events ("cups of coffee") to more symbolic concepts ("laughter", "strife"). In the chorus, the song reaches the conclusion that love is the only proper measure of a year in a human life.

The version of the song on the film soundtrack also slightly differs. There is a slightly sharper timbre to the instruments and the solo parts are ever so slightly altered melodically, including different vocal embellishments.

In the film version Seasons of Love is still performed in two parts, but features at the start of the film with the cast performing it on a theatre stage. In the reprise the song plays as a backdrop to a documentary style film about New York life made by the character Mark. Selections from "Seasons of Love" were also used in several of the film's trailers and other promotional material.
