Recording information by BronxBruce

For Ang

Not American Pie, this is For Good, the finale from WICKED. Go see it. It's amazing.

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 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

ELPHEBA: 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

GLINDA: Because I knew you BOTH: I have been changed for good

ELPHEBA: And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the thing 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

GLINDA: Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring) As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea) Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood) Halfway through the wood

BOTH: 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... ELPHEBA: Because I knew you...

BOTH: Because I knew you... I have been changed for good...

I Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it, love it, love it !!!!!

It wasn't easy bruce but the finished product is perfection. This song sounds so beautiful with a male vocalist, and I cannot thank you enough for everything you put into this. It means the world to me. This is one of the most beautiful songs in the world, and it would never have been the same without you. Love you Brucey!

I LOVED doing this. Wicked is one of my favorite shows ever and sadly none of its songs are available here though I keep asking for them. Thanks Ang for digging up the song and for the INCREDIBLE job you did singing this great but very challenging song. I love it. Thanks for pushing me to do it Ang.

Ok one last listen before I take a nap lol.

Beam it's quite incredible that this song makes you want to fall in love. It's a true testament to the heart and emotion bruce puts into a song...because this song was written for two female vocalists...You just wait till I twist his arm hard enough on my next song from Wicked..you will be swooning all over the place

Janet...I haven't seen it either...but I am absolutely dying to I'll tell you that! I wouldn't have even know it existed if it wasn't for good ole Brucey!

And last but CERTAINLY not least.....

Bruce..I'm glad you are thanking me now for the push lol, because theres probably quite a bit of Wicked pushing in your future hehe. You always come out on top when you challenge yourself (or when others challenge you *cough* ME *cough*)
8) 8) 8) 8)

Why is it masquerading as American Pie?

This song stands on its own merit!

 

BronxBruce

Over 2 years ago, BronxBruce said:

Rick - It's masquerading because Snap doesn't actually have the song and Angela recorded it in the longest song on here.
