By far the best female cover I have found for this song. I have been trying so hard to figure out the best way to sing it, and your version makes it easier for females while at the same time still maintaining the same emotional beats in the notes. Thank you so much!
I was definitely struggling as well with how to sing this as a female where it sounds natural, like when tenors sing it. I didn't want to change the melody too much but wanted to find a way to make it more singable. I'm so glad you found it helpful!
End of May or early June This picture-perfect afternoon we shared Drive the winding country road Grab a scoop at À La Mode And then we're there An open field that's framed with trees We pick a spot and shoot the breeze Like buddies do Quoting songs by our favorite bands Telling jokes no one understands Except us two And we talk and take in the view All we see is sky for forever We let the world pass by for forever Feels like we could go on for forever this way Two friends on a perfect day We walk a while and talk about The things we'll do when we get out of school Bike the Appalachian trail or Write a book or learn to sail Wouldn't that be cool? There's nothing that we can't discuss Like girls we wish would notice us but never do He looks around and says to me "There's nowhere else I'd rather be" And I say, "me too" And we talk and take in the view We just talk and take in the view All we see is sky for forever We let the world pass by for forever Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way All we see is light for forever 'Cause the sun shines bright for forever Like we'll be alright for forever this way Two friends on a perfect day And there he goes Racing toward the tallest tree From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, "follow me" there we go Wondering how the world might look from up so high One foot after the other One branch then to another I climb higher and higher I climb 'til the entire Sun shines on my face And I suddenly feel the branch give way I'm on the ground My arm goes numb I look around And I see him come to get me He's come to get me And everything's okay All we see is sky for forever We let the world pass by for forever Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way All we see is light 'Cause the sun burns bright We could be alright for forever this way Two friends True friends On a perfect day
That was absolutely beautiful. Didn’t think I could hear anyone else sing it but Ben Platt. You nailed it! And I love how you changed it up. Well done ❤️
I came here to learn this song after my friend requested that I perform it and I must say that you have the best cover on RU-vid thank you so much for teaching it to me and inspiring me and hopefully I will have it on my channel on Saturday God bless you my dear from one artist to another you are the ultimate angel and a big super huge like from me see you soon🙏🏼🌞🏆
I’m using this to audition for a school play and the one thing I noticed as she said at around 2:00 cause the sun burns bright for forever when it’s cause the sun shines bright for forever. Sorry to point that out you sound amazing and I’m so happy u did this because I wanted to do a female version and this helped me out a ton and I bet a ton of other female. ❤️ 🎼 🎵

omg I have no idea why I’m just discovering now but you have such a beautiful voice 😭❤️ would you ever consider posting the instrumental on some platform to share it with others? I’m not that good at the piano so it would be SO helpful and amazing if you could share it 💕
Anica Abaquin hi! Thanks for your kind comment. I actually do have some piano-only accompaniment videos on my channel, including “For Forever” Check them out!
아직 이른 여름 날 그림같이 예뻤던 오후 아이스크림을 들고서 아무도 없는 시골길을 함께 달렸지 저 높히 자란 나무들 그 상쾌하게 불어오던 바람도 기분 좋은 콧노래와 우리 둘만 아는 농담 재밌었지 하염없이 바라봤어 끝도 없었어 저 하늘은 꼭 꿈만 같았어 저 하늘은 영원할 것 같아 저 하늘 속에서 우리 멋진 여름 날 시골길을 걸으면서 졸업하면 뭐가 하고 싶어? 자전거 여행을 하고 책 쓰고 바다로 가 멋있겠다 끊이지 않는 이야기 사귀지 못할 남자친구들 얘기도 웃으면서 내게 말해 지금보다 좋은 건 없어 나도 그래 하염없이 바라봤어 할 얘기가 참 많았었어 끝도 없었어 저 하늘은 꼭 꿈만 같았어 저 하늘은 영원할 것 같아 저 하늘속에서 우리 끝도 없었어 저 태양은 꺼지지 않는 저 태양은 이렇게 남아 저 하늘 속에서 우리 멋진 여름 날 멀리 보여 높은 나무 한 그루 저 넓게 펼쳐진 황금빛 들판 너머 날 불러 달려가 저 높이 나무에 올라서서 볼까 한 발 한 발씩 딛고 나뭇가지를 잡고 올라 더 높히 올라 하늘 끝까지 올라가 태양을 봐 허나 하늘은 멀어지고 난 떨어져 팔이 아파 난 둘러봐 그가 날 데리러와 날 데리러 왔어 이제 다 괜찮아 끝도 없었어 저 하늘은 꼭 꿈만 같았어 저 하늘은 우린 친구야 저 하늘을 나는 우리 태양이 빛나 우릴 비추며 우린 괜찮아 저 하늘 아래 정말 꿈만 같던 여름 날
Hey! So go to Musicnotes.com and look up "For Forever". Then change the key to C Major (that's the key I sang it in) unless you want to do the original key. I have just a piano accompaniment version on my channel that's in C.
Stephanie Morey-Barry I actually have a video of audio only piano accompaniment and also my SoundCloud has just the accompaniment. Hope that it’s helpful to you!

Kim Chua hi! I did this starting in C major, then it eventually modulates higher as the piece goes on. I have just a piano accompaniment video on my channel as well if you want to try it out and see how this key feels!
