For Good

        The song, "For Good" is by Stephen Schwartz. I have liked this song ever since it was introduced to me my freshman year. It is from the musical "Wicked." This musical is the bad witch's point of view of the story, "The Land of Oz." This song comes in when Alphaba, the "bad" witch and Glenda, the "good" witch have to part because everyone is trying to kill Alphaba.
       Every year this song is used for graduation. It is a song about how much we have grown just by knowing each other and even though we have to part from one another,they will always be with us, in our heart. This song is very important to me because I could relate to it every year, I kept meeting new people in high school that changed my life "for good." I was also told in high school by younger people that I had changed their lives. Not only the song was important to me but what it represented, a circle. The circle in which everyone will go through the same things I went through and every year, freshman will sing this same song until they are seniors leaving something for the younger people to remind them by. When I sing the song for good it reminds me of each graduation that I have been through in my life and also the members of my favorite class in school, Show Choir.
        The purpose of this song in the musical is to let Alphaba and Glenda know that they will both be missed in each others lives but never gotten and that is also why we sing it at graduation. The audience is for all the people who are watching, targeting everyone who could relate to this song, which should be just about everyone. The Genre is a song/poem. The stance is loving, caring, knowing that you will be sad to see them go but you both have a future upon you. The medium is through song, it is singing.
