How do you Measure a Year in Your Life?

My music tastes have gone on a strange journey recently, and I seem to be stuck on songs from a few Broadway musicals, particularly Wicked, Rent, and Sweeney Todd. The songwriting for all of those shows is strong, and certain songs seem to speak to me. I love the underlying themes of all three shows, but today I want to point out Season's of Love from Rent. It's a song that reminds us to measure our lives in love instead of all the other insignificant things that we deal with every day. Our friends and families are more important than all that and they deserve more than we sometimes give them.

Watch the video and read along with the lyrics and allow the song to speak to you.
