I just finished watching tik tik boom on Netflix, I never knew anything about Jonathan Larson, not even that he wrote rent, but I'm so glad I came across the film, it was amazing. Had me in tears.
Same, My Brother sent Me a snippet about him this morning, We both have marfan's, so does My 22y/o Son and he released his first album this week. I really enjoyed the movie and cried like a baby at the end 😭
I think the mark of a great actor is someone who is like a chameleon, really immersing themselves into the role. When I was watching Tick, Tick... Boom!, I was really thinking Jonathan Larson. Not once did I think Peter Parker.
I'd give anything to let him know that he made it. Jonathan deserved so much more and was so close to get it. This story makes me think a lot about how unfair life is
I was holding back tears after learning about him because of the netflix movie. He finally made it and died a day before the first show man that really hit me.
The fact that he died the morning of the FIRST preview. Not the day after, the day of. So ridiculously tragic. He really felt as though he was running out of time.
the person who filmed this has no idea what a huge favour they was doing us all. The amount of times I've re-watched this video as a John Larson and a musical theatre fan in general is uncountable.
According to Lin, it was Vicky Lecox (last name probably wrong spelling) who shot almost all of the Tick Tick Boom footages that we have right now. She's Larson's friend who shot and financed some of the musicals he made
I'm your 1K-th like. This is the second time I'm 1K-th like on a comment in a "Tick Tick Boom" related video. I guess I'm browsing through a lot of them after watching the movie xD
I know all the comments are about Andrew but I just wanted to share my Jonathan Larson appreciation. What a dreamer. He had so much passion and life, changed the entire musical theatre game and he never got to see his own dreams come true... he didn't even get to watch the live performance of Rent. I think that's the saddest thing that can happen to an artist, to work towards something your whole life and never see it turn into the amazing thing it becomes.
Holy shit... Andrew really portrayed him perfectly. It's so tragic Jon died so soon, just imagine what other works of genius he could have brought into the world.
Words can't express how emotional this makes me. He's one of my favorite composers and I spend so much time thinking about all the other great things he could have written.
Jonathan Larson joined an exclusive club of artists who died before their genius was discovered, he sits at a table with the likes of Johannes Vermeer, Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Vincent Van Gogh, Franz Kafka, Vivian Maier & Stieg Larsson among others. Thank you for your gifts to the world and RIP 👏🏼
@@baileymorton4116 he had some early success but nothing like the recognition he had after his death, not sure what age of death has to do with anything...
My father turned 30 in the 90s days before Jonathan Larson died. Both of them were born and lived in New York. It is personally incredible to see what completely different lives they lived otherwise.
Watched Tick tick..Boom. What a movie, what a showcase of Jonathan's talent. Gone so soon, but man, the positive impact he's had and keeps having on people's lives is incredibly beautiful. Isn't that what life is about?
I’ll be turning 30 next year and I can understand the emotion in this song. I really hope my kids will feel more accomplished in their lives. Jonathan Larson’s accomplishments are beyond amazing, it’s so unfortunate he didn’t love to see the impact of what he’s created. Such is life. ❤️
We all feel the same at 29... ppl need to stop focusing on the number and JUST LIVE. I didn't understand that until I was approaching 40, and I feel like I'm more confident & appreciate the moments more as I get older.... when you realise your accomplishments are more of a quest for self discovery and evolving than accumulating awards on a wall
I felt the same at 29, but once I hit 30, I realized that it wasn't a big deal. However, I'm moving from my early 30s to my mid 30s, so I'm going through another crisis, which will end the moment I actually reach my birthday.
15 right now but lowk, ive been writing this elaborate story w my friends and want to make it out there, similar to this in a way i guess. i js hope i make it :)
i know basically the whole comment section is saying the same thing, but dang andrew garfield did such a good job portraying him. from the mannerism, the looks the everything is just so perfect. man gone way too soon, imagine what larson could’ve done if he had more time. also before people start saying his vocals aren’t the best, imagine singing a song you made to a crowd while playing an intricate piano track at the same time. he was amazing
Also, the audio quality is bad, mainly because is from the 90’s. Jonathan Larson was a genius, not worthy for the people who just say his voice isn’t the best from a extract of a 18 minutes video.
I’m still sobbing after watching Tick Tick Boom on Netflix. I just don’t understand why this cruel life had to take this GENIUS away from this world so soon! Ugh. AND even more cruel, for him to die on the same day RENT was due to start! He had so much to give. I’m sobbing now so I cannot even imagine how his family felt, then. Thank you Lin Manuel for directing this brilliant film..celebrating this genius’s life perfectly. Just like you reminded us how great and genius Alexander Hamilton was….thank you, for this story!! Sobbing. Still. ❤️❤️😩🎤
As they saying goes you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villian, some of the best people I have known have died at really young ages. Best dude I ever knew died this year a few days after his 21st birthday and also around new years christmas time
@@MetalizedButt i think andrew did extremely well on the singing and i think that he sounded a lot like jon, especially seeing that he learned to sing in just about a year
@@alrighty.aphrotide I feel like you can’t really learn to sing if you don’t have a good voice to begin with. He’s naturally talented and you can hear a real vibrato
I'm turning 30 in 5 days, watched this movie two days ago, knowing nothing about Jonathan Larson or his musicals. Now this songs sticks with me forever 😆
I can't believe how well Andrew portrayed him. from his head motions/facial expressions/hand movements, etc. Andrew just put his heart and soul into this. its a tragedy jonathan was gone so soon.
Omg, Jonathan was explosive! In this live clip JL really lived the 30/90 story, The emotion is so raw and deep to his very core. It's really this powerful when the writer performs. There's a fire in his belly and also that hunger. There's a different level of realness and sincerity which can't be duplicated. 🔥 Gone too soon. RIP, bravo and thank you Jonathan!
I am old enough to remember the mania over Rent. As a New Yorker I remember reading about Larson didn't think about it too much. Andrew's performance had me sobbing like a baby. Two incredibly prodigious talents.
Jonathan is among the GOAT's of the musical world. Though I've known about him after watching tick tick boom, I still feel that he was greater than that.
Thank you Jonathan, yesterday you'd have turned 62, but the time given to you was not enough. I don't know how many other great things you could have made if you only had some more time, but I know for sure that with the quantity given to you you inspire everyone who knows your story to choose wisly about what to do with his time. Thanks for teaching us how to not give up if we are doing what we love, even if we fail. Thank you Jonathan Larson and keep shining as the star you were and still are💫❤
RUclips decided I needed to see this right now. What strikes me about this, every time I see it, is that Jonathan is belting this song out for everything it’s worth. He made sure that he WILL be heard, whether anyone likes it or not, because it was his turn. It was his turn to be heard and he surely wasn’t giving that up for anything after what he’d been through with rejection after rejection with “Superbia.”
I never knew Jonathan Larson before Tick Tick Boom and now after the movie, seeing how John was so talented and the fact that he KNEW it and that’s why he put everything into his talent and tried and the fact that we didn’t really know him while he was alive and he only got the recognition he deserved only after his death make me think about life and how the world works… I have been stubborn about writing (even if my writing are bad or even when no one believes) just as how he was passionate about singing and composing… I don’t know. I guess I live to write.
Just saw tick tick boom on it’s limited release and omg this hits so different jonathon left such a legacy for theater and story telling I’m already recommending the film to all of my friends it’s just incredible I wished at my theater that there were more people like it’s crazy how good the film was and like how much it paid tribute to jonathon
Out of curiosity, what legacy of storytelling did he leave? His sole finished musical has an above-average score, but the book leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a great rough draft… but it was still a rough draft.
@@ShowtuneSampler I think it’s the way he tackled controversial topics like homophobia and other social issues. His storytelling was able to connect with younger audiences and especially with the pop-rock genre of the musical
Watched Tick Tick Boom a couple days ago. Cannot believe how incredibly talented this man was. Hurts my heart that he finally made it but didn't live to see it. May he rest in peace.
his musics are so touchable, so powerful, making me see such a lively picture of life, recall how the energy cross my body when jumping into the swimming pool.
When I first saw the trailer for Tick, Tick, Boom! a few months back, I was giddy to say the least. Rent has been one of my favourite musicals for most of my life, and I was a big fan of Jonathan Larson. I knew about the story of Tick, Tick, Boom! I just didn't know the music. It’s amazing how Andrew nailed who Jonathan was! I can see Oscar buzz with the soundtrack. Just think what this world would musically have if he hadn't passed away 😢 Thank you Jonathan Larson!
anyone with a dream that feels like the world is telling them to give up on can find hope from Jon’s story. Gosh I wish he had lived longer. seems like a precious soul :((
Hope we have this video in the credits of Tick Tick Boom... Thanks John, from a fellow Marf who you inspired to pursue greatness in spite of all the pains of our condition. Love from Japan!
it hurts my heart that he never knew what his art was going to mean for so many today, that his art was being appreciated and understood and cherished.
This man was a gift and he was taken away before he could see the true gift he was. Life is incredibly unfair. In his heart he knew he would reach people, he knew, just sad he didn’t get to see how big his impact would be.
I honestly thought that the music on the movie were made by lin manuel miranda, and thought that he capture Jonathan larson sound perfectly, but then i found out that it is all Jonathan music, sound and lyrics afterall, what a genius musician he was
As a child I knew OF Rent, my mother had a movie version on dvd and i always liked to play with dvds and our player and i only watched snippets but the cover of the dvd's box was the classic RENT style and forever i always thought of that weird name for a movie, but its 'pretty' cover. Never until i turned 16 i got into it and I'm 21 today and i never knew a jon larson, but his work stuck to an 8 year old kid and made that kid sing at 16 and cry at 21, i just- his work is still largely regarded and acknowledged in 2021 and he never got to see it. It breaks my heart, as an artist and as a young person.
Stop the clock Take time out Time to regroup Before you loose the bout Face the thrill Back it up Time to refocus Before they lap it up Year's are getting shorter The lines on your face are getting longer Feel like you're treading water But the riptide's getting stronger Don't panic, don't jump ship Can't fight it, like taxes At least it happens Only once in your life They're singing, "Happy birthday" You just wanna lay down and cry Not just another birthday, it's 30/90 Why can't you stay 29 Hell, you still feel like you're 22 Turn 30 in the 90 Bang! You're dead, what can you do? What can you do? What can you do? Clear the runway Make another pass Try one more hook Before you're out of gas Friends are getting fatter Hairs on you head are getting thinner Feel like a clean up batter On a team that ain't a winner Don't freak out, don't strike out Can't fight it, just like city hall At least you're not alone Your friends are there too They're singing, "Happy birthday" You just wish you could run away Who cares about a birthday? But 30/90, hey Can't you be optimistic? You're no longer eons of you Turn 30, 1990 Voom! You're passes What can you do? What can you do? What can you do? Peter Pan and tinker bell Which way to never never land? Emerald city's gone to hell Since the wizard blew off passed the map On the streets you hear the voices Lost children, crocodiles But you're not into Making choices, wicked witches Poppy fields, or men behind the curtains Tiger lilies, ruby slippers Clock is ticking, that's for certain They're singing, "Happy birthday" I just wish it all were a dream It feels much more like dooms day What 30/90 seems I'm dying for a twister I don't see a rainbow, do you? Turn 30 into 90 Look into my hands now What the ball has passed I want the spoils, but not too fast The world is falling It's now or never land Why can't I stay till The forever end? 30/90 (5) What can I do? What can I do?
This movie inspired me to such a deep level and brought be to tears. It really means a lot to see someone’s story, and not just the good parts. Aretha Franklin’s movie RESPECT had the same effect on me. Johnathan Larson was an amazing person, I’m glad his story is being shared.
Done watching tick tick boom. There's something in the movie that makes me realize that always follow your dreams or what makes you happy, live your life to the fullest!. All of our hardships, disappointment and frustration will all be worth it in the end. You just gotta believe you can make it:)
It’s sad when you realize how hard Jonathan was working from 1985 straight to 1995 and then he died unfortunately and during that entire time he was producing songs creating hit musicals and just pushing himself and I love that he was able to do so much in just 10 years but again I feel like he didn’t have time to really take time and rest and chill and appreciate what he was doing because he died when he was so young 35 and he died the day before his musical rent first showed it was all so sad rip Jonathan you have made some a awesome musicals and you really did your best 🥺🥺🥺🥺

anyone with a dream that feels like the world is telling them to give up on can find hope from Jon’s story. Gosh I wish he had lived longer. seems like a precious soul :((
Hope we have this video in the credits of Tick Tick Boom...
Thanks John, from a fellow Marf who you inspired to pursue greatness in spite of all the pains of our condition.
Love from Japan!
it hurts my heart that he never knew what his art was going to mean for so many today, that his art was being appreciated and understood and cherished.
What an amazing artist and performer. It's like he performs with every inch of his body. So much energy and passion wow.
This man was a gift and he was taken away before he could see the true gift he was. Life is incredibly unfair. In his heart he knew he would reach people, he knew, just sad he didn’t get to see how big his impact would be.
You wrote a musical that has changed my
Life! It will always be my favorite and go
To. TICK TICK TICK BOOM WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO YOU!
Andrew protrayed him so well. He was so talented!
Rest in peace, Jonathan Larson.
I honestly thought that the music on the movie were made by lin manuel miranda, and thought that he capture Jonathan larson sound perfectly, but then i found out that it is all Jonathan music, sound and lyrics afterall, what a genius musician he was
Thank you for writing a relatable song even in 2021
Wait, you can relate to turning 30 in 1990?
@@ShowtuneSampler they can relate to wanting to lay down and cry on their 30'th
I feel like the songs in Tick Tick Boom and Rent are perfect for Broadway and solo work. Jonathan Larson could’ve been the next Billy Joel
As a child I knew OF Rent, my mother had a movie version on dvd and i always liked to play with dvds and our player and i only watched snippets but the cover of the dvd's box was the classic RENT style and forever i always thought of that weird name for a movie, but its 'pretty' cover. Never until i turned 16 i got into it and I'm 21 today and i never knew a jon larson, but his work stuck to an 8 year old kid and made that kid sing at 16 and cry at 21, i just- his work is still largely regarded and acknowledged in 2021 and he never got to see it. It breaks my heart, as an artist and as a young person.
mandatory visit before the tick tick boom movie
Such a good feel movie, Andrew acts amazing in this movie and I really liked it
The best that this movie could do is what any artist in this world deserves.
Honor him.
Rest in peace Jonathan Larson.
his music is incredible, he’s an inspiration for me
Stop the clock
Take time out
Time to regroup
Before you loose the bout
Face the thrill
Back it up
Time to refocus
Before they lap it up
Year's are getting shorter
The lines on your face are getting longer
Feel like you're treading water
But the riptide's getting stronger
Don't panic, don't jump ship
Can't fight it, like taxes
At least it happens
Only once in your life
They're singing, "Happy birthday"
You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn 30 in the 90
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
Clear the runway
Make another pass
Try one more hook
Before you're out of gas
Friends are getting fatter
Hairs on you head are getting thinner
Feel like a clean up batter
On a team that ain't a winner
Don't freak out, don't strike out
Can't fight it, just like city hall
At least you're not alone
Your friends are there too
They're singing, "Happy birthday"
You just wish you could run away
Who cares about a birthday?
But 30/90, hey
Can't you be optimistic?
You're no longer eons of you
Turn 30, 1990
Voom! You're passes
What can you do?
What can you do?
What can you do?
Peter Pan and tinker bell
Which way to never never land?
Emerald city's gone to hell
Since the wizard blew off passed the map
On the streets you hear the voices
Lost children, crocodiles
But you're not into
Making choices, wicked witches
Poppy fields, or men behind the curtains
Tiger lilies, ruby slippers
Clock is ticking, that's for certain
They're singing, "Happy birthday"
I just wish it all were a dream
It feels much more like dooms day
What 30/90 seems
I'm dying for a twister
I don't see a rainbow, do you?
Turn 30 into 90
Look into my hands now
What the ball has passed
I want the spoils, but not too fast
The world is falling
It's now or never land
Why can't I stay till
The forever end?
30/90 (5)
What can I do?
What can I do?
It’s “f*ck 30/90” not “what 30/90”
.
This movie inspired me to such a deep level and brought be to tears. It really means a lot to see someone’s story, and not just the good parts. Aretha Franklin’s movie RESPECT had the same effect on me. Johnathan Larson was an amazing person, I’m glad his story is being shared.
He was one of the best composers, if anyone disagrees I beg you you to look at the complexity of some of his music
Thank You Jonathan Larson
It's a great movie!!! I ve already watched it, that's why I'm here, glad to know that this man, JONATHAN LARSON is one of a kind!!!
Andrew capturó su esencia súper bien. Me encantaría decirle a Jonathan que lo logró, y ahora muchos más conocerán su historia ❤️
I wish he could have stayed around longer to create more amazing things. What a beautiful talented soul
Man he really pounded on those keys! Like most composers lol
the fact that someone got this video is heavenly
i had no doubt about how amazing of an actor andrew is, but after seeing this i'm literally speechless. i hope he gets more roles like these.
Jon is a beautiful genius. And Andrew plays him beautifully.
I'm turning 30 in june. i've never heard a song so accurate before in my life. i needed this.
Done watching tick tick boom. There's something in the movie that makes me realize that always follow your dreams or what makes you happy, live your life to the fullest!. All of our hardships, disappointment and frustration will all be worth it in the end. You just gotta believe you can make it:)
Just finished watching Tick tick Boom and this song stucks in my head!!!
I wonder how many times Andrew Garfield watched this exact RUclips video when studying Johnathan Larson
It’s sad when you realize how hard Jonathan was working from 1985 straight to 1995 and then he died unfortunately and during that entire time he was producing songs creating hit musicals and just pushing himself and I love that he was able to do so much in just 10 years but again I feel like he didn’t have time to really take time and rest and chill and appreciate what he was doing because he died when he was so young 35 and he died the day before his musical rent first showed it was all so sad rip Jonathan you have made some a awesome musicals and you really did your best 🥺🥺🥺🥺
happiest of birthdays jon, i hope you’re doing okay up there. thank you for becoming such a big inspiration to me so quickly💕💕💕
Watched the movie yesterday ....can't believe talent like him gone to soon .... Andrew is just amazing ...
Hat's of for you Andrew.. this real video shows us that how much incredibly he nailed the role..❤️🔥
