"525,600 Mintues."
That's all that we have.
That's all that these 8 friends have in common.
This is their a story. Their dreams played out in a musical.
"525,000 moments so dear."
Each one of these people have cried at night.
Sang a broken song.
And cried in someone arms.
"525,600 minutes."
And each one of them have fallen in love with someone else.
"How do you measure, measure a year."
The lights come up so show a stage, in a theater. 8 friends, side by side. A single light shining on each one of them. They all hold the same expression.
"In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee."
They all sing the same notes. No harmony. Unison.
"In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife."
But even though they sing the same notes, they all sing with their own voice.
"525,600 Minutes. How do you measure, a year in the life.?"
They sing together. Their voices growing even stronger as one. Their voices are the bonds that hold their friendship together. An unbreakable bond.
"How about love?"
But this is a story. And like every story there is a plot.
"How about love?"
And with every plot there is a beginning, middle and end.
"How about love?"
And even with all that, there are the essentials a story needs.
"Measure in love."
Death, Anger, Romance, Drugs, Sex, and of course Love.
"Seasons of Love."
Well, trust me, all of those essentials are in this story.
"Seasons of Love."
Focus on a young girl. She's around 25 years old. Light red hair and blazing blue eyes. She's a Lesbian.
"525,600 minutes. 525,000 journeys to plan. 525,600 minutes. How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?"
Now look at a young man on the opposite side of the stage. He is 26, with hair as white as snow. When he's in the light many people say his hair resembles the color of silver. He is Gay.
"In truth that she learns, or in times that he cries. In bridges he burns, or the way that she dies."
All 8 people burst into song. All of them clapping and swaying to the song that they sing.
"It's time now, to sing out though the story never ends. Lets celebrate remember the year in the light of friends!"
Smiles light up their faces. They look at each other as if they were the only people on Earth. As if their in their own worlds.
"Remember the love."
The same girl as before sings her heart out. Singing about whatever comes to her mind. Her voice, everyone's words.
"Oh, you gotta, you gotta remember the love. You know that love is a gift from up above. Send love, give love, spread love. Measure, measure your life in love!"
Everyone comes to a stand still, looking to the empty crowd that listens to their song.
"Seasons of Love."
8 friends. Side by side.
"Seasons of Love."
This is their song.
"Measure your life. Measure your life in love."
The lights go out, and their story begins.
