Melodic Mondays: For Good

2 Comments

It’s from the Wicked soundtrack, so nuff said, right?

Haha, not for me.

The first time I really heard about Wicked was when one of my friends (a total theater buff) described the entire plot to me one night during summer camp. I thought it sounded kinda crazy (and sad), so I didn’t think much about it until a couple months later, when I heard Haley Klinkhammer’s cover of Defying Gravity. I liked the way she sung it – girl’s got the most beautiful voice – and I remembered how much my friend adored the musical. So I decided to give the songs a try.

Seeing as I’m using one for my Melodic Mondays, I guess you can guess I enjoyed them.

Obviously, I haven’t seen the live show (someday, right?), but I have listened to several of the songs. For Good is one of my favorites because it has such a lovely melody swaying underneath the vocals. Perfect background for a bittersweet scene.
