      It's amazing!
      Playing the piano while singing is not easy, particularly when you're singing with someone else, and the piano part doesn't sound easy. He even turns his own pages! How amazing!

    I think my favorite thing is that the Newsies were living in America at the end of a millennium and they were tight for money and basically this song totally applies to the Newsies too.

      @gwynethhill3431 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      Cheyenne Brown well the newsboy strike happened in 1899 which was the end of that millennium. And rent took place at the end of the next millennium. At least thats how i see it.

      Not to mention both stories include people hating new york city and wanting to go to santa fe, but inevitably stay in new york because their family and love interest are there

    I've listened to this cover so many times now that whenever I listen to the actual RENT version, I'm always startled by Mark's aggressiveness 😂

    @hilfyyy 9 ปีที่แล้ว +171

    This performance is absolutely incredible. Ben really owns that piano and you can really feel how they are connecting together as performers. The harmonies were also flawless. Great key for both of them, and definitely appreciated the newsies interjections. BRAVO!

      Helen Timpe and Corey just makes it sound so good. Especially at 2:14. When I first heard it I was like “WHAT?!?!?!” And played it over like fifty times

  • @zorro......
    @zorro...... 7 ปีที่แล้ว +133

    Corey: Don't breathe too deep, don't think all day
    Ben: Dive into work, drive the other way
    Corey: That drip of hurts
    (Ben: when the bell rings)
    That pint of shame
    Goes away, just play the game
    Ben: You're living in America
    At the end of the millennium
    You're living in America
    Leave your conscience at the tone
    Corey: And when you're living in America
    At the end of the millennium
    Both: You're what you own
    Corey: The filmmaker cannot see
    Ben: And the songwriter cannot hear
    Corey: Yet I see Mimi everywhere
    Ben: Angel's voice is in my ear
    Corey: Just tighten those shoulders
    Ben: Just clench your jaw till you frown
    Corey: Just don't let go or you may
    Both: drown
    You're living in America
    At the end of the millennium
    You're living in America
    Where it's like the Twilight Zone
    And when you're living in America
    At the end of the millennium
    You're what you own
    So I own not a notion
    I escape and ape content
    I don't own emotion, I rent
    Ben: What was it about that night (corey: Trapped where there ain't no future)
    Ben: What was it about that night
    (Corey: Even at 17)
    Both: Connection in an isolating age
    Ben: For once the shadows gave way
    (Corey: My friend, my old friend)
    Ben: To light
    (Corey: Gave way to light)
    Both: For once I didn't disengage
    Dying in America
    At the end of the millennium
    We're dying in America
    To come into our own
    And when you're dying in America
    At the end of the millennium
    We'll all be out there, carrying the banner
    You're not alone
    I'm not alone, I'm not alone

    Ben played the piano so easily, Corey also learnt to play piano for Bandstand and completely nailed it...
    Meanwhile me: had a music class for 6 years in elementary school and still couldn't follow the musical notations resulting in me having to memorize them before performing.
