I just lost a best friend of over 17 years. I’ll never forget when we used to sing through the entire soundtrack of Wicked when it came out - costumes included. She even crafted me a green cape so that this then-closeted, awkward teen could live his full Elphaba fantasy in her parent’s living room. She is always going to be the G(a)linda who left a handprint on my heart forever. 💚
I recently lost a good friend who was like the brother I never had. Your rendition of "For Good" perfectly suits my memory of Wally. I'm tearing up as I write this. Thanks to all three of you for putting into music my sentiments. Hey Big Bro... I'll just say so long for now.
Wow guys, excellent stuff. I've been looking for a good male cover of this song for inspiration to make a solo male version for my wife on our 10th anniversary. Thank you for putting this out there for me to find!
The third male version I’ve heard and watched today. This song is so good, and this is yet another superb version. Wet eyes are the order of the day. Thank you gentlemen x
I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you... Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend... Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed for good And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done, you blame me for But then, I guess we know There's blame to share And none of it seems to matter anymore Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes the sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In the wood (Harmony over Glinda) Who can say if I've been Changed for the better? I do believe I have been Changed for the better And because I knew you... Because I knew you... Because I knew you... I have been changed for good...
[Glinda:] I've heard it said, That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those Who help us most to grow if we let them. And we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you. Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun, Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you I have been changed for good. [Elphaba:] It well may be That we will never meet again in this lifetime. So, let me say before we part: So much of me Is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend. Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you... [Glinda:] Because I knew you... [Both:] I have been changed for good. [Elphaba:] And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done, You blame me for. [Glinda:] But then I guess, We know there's blame to share. [Both:] And none of it seems to matter anymore. Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring) As it passes the sun. (By a wind off the sea) Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by a bird) Halfway through the wood. (In the wood) Who can say if I've been changed for the better. I do believe I have been changed for the better. [Glinda:] And because I knew you... [Elphaba:] Because I knew you... [Both:] Because I knew you I have been changed... For good.
